Bubu... No, I didn't hurt myself...

In Alor, Indonesia, many fishermen still use bubu, traditional fish trap made of woven bamboo and rattan.

Once inside, the fish rarely finds its way out. The fishermen just drop them in without lines or floats, wait a few days, and then simply swim down to retrieve them.
