Lucky fisherman!
Red sea bream in your rope net
Congratulations!

Bream is "tai" in Japanese. There's a wordplay on this and "Omedetai" which is "Congratulations". The very red bream is often featured as part of celebratory feasts (for weddings, etc) because of this word play and the fact that in Asian cultures, including Japan, red is considered a lucky color.
