So you’re stuck in some jungle or a place where there’s a river. You are hungry and you want to eat. Here’s how to catch a fish.

Grab yourself a stick, we in South Africa call it a knopkierie. Its a stick with a nob on the end.

Next look for some ants. Ants usually make good bait if you are in shallow water.

Throw a handful of ants on the water but in reach where you can hit the water.

Next you wait for the fish to come up, timing is important.

As soon as the fish puts his lips over that ant, you slam as hard on the water next to him or as close to him as possible. The shockwaves will kill him or knock him silly.

Jump in and try to throw him either out of the water or catch him.

There you go.
