FIL: Ang gawain ng pangingisda sa malawak na karagatan o dagat.
EN: to fish in the open sea
This isn't just fishing in a small pond (that's more like 'mamingwit'). This is the real deal, the 'Deadliest Catch' version of fishing. It's what fishermen do, going out into the open sea, facing the waves, to bring back the fish for your sinigang. It implies a serious, often commercial, fishing expedition.
From 'dagat' (sea).
ROOT MEANING: sea; ocean
Specifically refers to fishing in the sea, as opposed to rivers or lakes. It implies a larger scale of fishing than 'mamingwit' (to fish with a hook and line).
