Capturing the Dance of the Net

From Dronestagram’s treasure trove emerges this second-place winner from their 2018 photo contest, a masterpiece crafted by a user named Zekedrone. At first glance, it’s a Vietnamese fisherman, lost in the rhythm of his routine, casting his net. Yet, the drone’s vantage point elevates this simple act, making the net’s spread echo the ethereal beauty of polar lights.

Vietnam’s rich fishing legacy, underscored by its robust striped catfish industry, has been a beacon of employment, supporting over 500,000 fishermen since 2003. The Pangasius Catfish, affectionately termed Basa locally, stands out as the predominant catch, gracing the nets of professionals and hobbyists alike.
