Hi, my name is Illia Shishkoff. I came from a small village of approximately 5,000 in Bulgaria. We had no running water or electricity. As a young boy in my country, I observed some grown men reaching under rocks and under the banks along a river, and I was curious . . . to my surprise, I saw that the men were pulling live fish from the rocks and banks. I tried for myself! After a few trys I became successful in catching one. FISHING USING ONLY YOUR BARE HANDS! Yes! I have used only my barehands to catch fish since the tender age of six and by nine years of age I was providing, with my fathers blessing, fish for my family.
