Joo Sang-wook was so sad that he shed tears in the cold weather.

Joo Sang-wook was happy to receive the golden badge.

In Channel A's entertainment program 'Trust in me and follow me, Urban Fisherman 5' (hereinafter referred to as 'Urban Fisherman 5'), which aired on the 22nd, the 'Ice Frozen Trout Festival' held in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province was revealed.

The fishermen, who experienced the bitter taste of freshwater fishing during the last Eumseong perch fishing, went fishing again at the ice fishing spot in Gapyeong just before planting. Lee Gyeong-gyu bowed to the Dragon King on the ice and prayed for good fortune.

Not long after the morning fishing began, Joo Sang-wook's float showed movement and a trout appeared. As a result, Joo Sang-wook shook off the sorrow of being a badge beggar. Joo Sang-wook, who quickly emerged as the winner of the morning fishing competition, expressed his confidence in winning, saying, “I will prepare my acceptance speech from 11:40.”

The fishermen planned a surprise camera for Joo Sang-wook. To tease Joo Sang-wook, who was likely to win, Kim Dong-hyun acted as if he had caught the big prize. Joo Sang-wook, who was surprised when Kim Dong-hyun's candlestick showed an unusual bend, seemed to have been deceived. However, it turned out to be a surprise camera as Kim Dong-hyun caught a rock instead of a trout. Joo Sang-wook shed tears of relief, saying, "Suddenly, tears..." and made people laugh. In the end, the morning fishing ended with Joo Sang-wook breaking away from second place and earning the golden badge.

Due to the sluggish morning tide, fishing was conducted by moving to a fishing point in the afternoon. Lee Gyeong-gyu poured in groundbait and even changed the equipment, but the trout was still untouched. In the end, with Joo Sang-wook at the head and the production team joining in, they formed a 'Trout Expedition' and set out to find the point. The 'Trout Expedition' drilled holes in the ice several times and looked into the water with underwater cameras, but could not find trout anywhere.

As no bite continued throughout the afternoon at minus 20 degrees, even the fishermen who had caught fish began to give up fishing one by one. Lee Gyeong-gyu left his position and even attempted to leave work early, saying, “I will try to leave work first.” In the end, everyone failed in the afternoon fishing and the 'Ice Frozen Trout Festival' came to an end without a winner.

The production team suggested additional freshwater fishing in Yongin to the fishermen who had experienced the pain of afternoon fishing. Although attendance was free, all members voluntarily attended the fishing spot and engaged in a trout fishing war.

Lee Deok-hwa showed off his skills as a fishing expert by showing off his special move, 'Fly Fishing', and announced the return of the freshwater king by making a hit with his casting. Other fishermen also caught trout again and again, showing unpredictable competition.

After the fishing was over, the golden badge award ceremony followed. The winner of the Big One competition was ‘Big One Hunter’ Lee Soo-geun, who caught a 49cm trout. In response, Lee Gyeong-gyu expressed his jealousy over Lee Soo-geun's solo sprint, saying, "There are too many things to pick up." In the total weight competition, which showed close competition, the 'freshwater powerhouse' Lee Deok-hwa won the championship, marking the end.

Next week, Season 5's first overseas trip will be depicted, taking place in Tsushima Island, Japan.
