We Kicked, We Ran, We Fished: Action-Packed Day on'Boat' with Goa’s Legendary Fisherman

La la la la la. Went fishing–vishing, but not the rod-wod kind. This was net-throwing, the “catch me if you can” edition. And the man behind the magic? Goa’s very own celebrity caster, Francisco Fernandes… or, as every wave in Goa knows him, Pele Bhau! So, Pele Bhau and his team dragged me into some seriously wild adventures. From fish to turtles to crabs, we netted quite a cast of characters. And just when you thought the sea was the only field, we ended up kicking it old-school—football on the sand. Oh, and here’s the real catch of the day: Pele wasn’t just netting fish, he was netting calls on his Nokia E35. I asked him why, and his answer was simple, because this phone is built like a rock and plays ball better than most smartphones Thumbnail Credits: Aditi Mishra – because she made us do it
