Gonzo was a pro at river fishing. In the summer, when he was not in the mood for blacksmithing, he became absorbed with fishing. One time, when he went fishing for river trout (iwana), he caught enough fish to fill a bamboo basket.

He was returning on a mountain road when he came to a stone marker designating the entrance to the village. There was a small Buddhist monk–like ghost figure with a shaven head standing in the grass. Wondering who it might be, he looked, and the figure became larger and larger, becoming a huge monster (norikoshi) seeming to penetrate the clouds. Shocked, Gonzo is said to have run all the way home. (163-171)
