| For large fish living in caves, people use homemade slingshots to shoot them. This type of gun is attached with a sharp arrow and a rubber band like a crossbow. Photo: Dao Tho |

| To use the gun, they have to dive deep into the stream, shine a light, and shoot arrows at the fish. Therefore, the requirements for sharp eyes, quick aiming, and accuracy are very high. Photo: Dao Tho |
