EN: to fish with a rod and line; to jerk a fishing line
This is the action your Tito performs when he goes fishing on a weekend. It's the specific act of using a fishing rod and then *jerking* it upwards (the 'bigwas') when he feels a bite. It’s a mix of patience and that one explosive moment of action. The verb for "Got one!"
From `ma-` (infinitive prefix) + `-m-` (infix) + `bigwas` (a sudden pull or jerk, like in fishing or a strike).
Specifically refers to fishing with a rod or pole, involving a jerking motion to set the hook.
