Catching eels

He tānga tēnei e whakaatu ana i ngā tāne Māori e hopu piharau ana. I muri i te orotātanga o te moa, ka whai hiranga ake te tuna hei kai. Ka haoa te tuna i ōna marama heke, kātahi ka pāwharatia hei toha mā te katoa. Ka kitea te tini o te tangata i ēnei tūmomo ohu kai, arā, he maha kē atu ngā rōpū i tēnei i konei.
