The frenzy lasts for only about 15 minutes.
The intensity of the moment is extreme, huge, and overwhelming.
The small lake remained the last vestige of an once fertile land.
Women are not allowed to participate in the ritual as they are considered impure owing to their menstrual cycle.
The rest get busy preparing for the celebration, braiding their hair and pounding millet for the big feast.
All of a sudden 400 bare-chested men jump wildly into the lake grabbing whatever they can.
About 15 minutes later a gunshot marks the end of the ritual.
Watch the video of the fishing frenzy after the pictures.
