TOKIO’s Shigeru Jojima (53) appeared on Nippon Television’s “The!

On this day, the “DASH Giant Diner” project was broadcast, and Jojima came to the area off the coast of Aki and Muroto to catch a carp called the “Tosa Bay dinosaur.” Naniwa boy Joichiro Fujiwara and Shizuoka University associate professor Hideaki Kato also took part in the effort to catch the animal. Then Mr. Kato bent his fishing rod and it seemed like it would be a shot, but it turned out to be a shot.

The moment the fisherman who was fishing with the fish reeled it up to remove the hook from the hook, the line was torn off and the fishing rod sank to the bottom of the sea. While the fisherman was apologizing, saying, “I’m sorry…”, Jojima asked, “Huh? Where is the rod?” replied Mr. Kato, “They took the whole rod…” He said that the fishing rod was about 80,000 yen, and the reel about 210,000 yen Disappointed that a total of 290,000 yen disappeared into the ocean.

When Fujiwara asked, “Did you ever go with the rod in the previous episodes of DASH!!?”, Jojima replied, “That is completely unacceptable and impossible,” which was the first time in the 28-year history of show.

However, a “miracle” awaited him after this. After the rod sank to the bottom of the ocean, it hit Jojima’s rod. “What is this weight?” I asked as I pulled it up, only to discover that the rod that had sunk to the seabed earlier had caught it. Everyone on board was stunned by the story-like ending.
