According to this net manufacturer on Lake Togo, fishing is a daily struggle and the first place is defined by the amount of fish caught

English transcript of the video:

Yao: 
We’re recording.

Net Manufacturer:
Let's talk about fishing contests.
Back in the day it was all about having 30 minutes to catch more fish.
You have more fish and you're first.
Sometimes to decide between us, we do it by weight.
And when it comes to the dugout race, there are many flags on the lake.
To mark the point of departure and the point of arrival.
The main thing is to be in 1st or 2nd or 3rd place.
And a dugout canoe holds 4 or 5 people during the competition.
