*Isdang Mas Malaki Pa Sa Aming Bangka Ni Disay* is a popular Filipino song, often associated with the “catch and sell” tradition in fishing communities. It tells the story of a fisherman and his experience with the sea, fishing, and sometimes the humorous or surprising situations that come with it. The title translates to *”Fish Bigger Than Our Boat”* and refers to an unlikely or challenging situation where the fish caught is so big that it dwarfs the boat used to catch it.
The song embodies a sense of pride in their catch and the struggles of being a fisherman, but it also carries a tone of humor and resilience, often emphasizing the beauty of the fishing lifestyle in the Philippines.
The phrase *”catch and sell”* refers to the practice of catching fish and selling it in the market, which is a livelihood for many Filipino fishermen.
