Lua, in essence, is an environmental movement. Since its introduction in China for more than ten years, it has become one of the mainstream fishing techniques and has a large number of user groups.
The reason why it is called the environmental protection movement, Lua is not only different from other fishing methods in terms of technique, but also in the treatment of fish catches, post-fishing release has always been the purpose of its sport, and it is also regarded as a belief or spirit by true Luya people.
Remember the BBS in the early years, when Lua was still the exclusive of a few people, while sharing fishing skills and catches, post-fishing release was the behavior that most anglers insisted on.
However, with the popularity of the Internet, the current Lua circle can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons. People no longer regard excessive hunting as shameful, and the catch is a capital for them to show off, a tool to satisfy the speed of the mouth.
No wonder the old Luya people would say that the jianghu is no longer the same jianghu it used to be!
If the above behavior is tolerated, the infamous Loach Party is the beginning of the collapse of the entire Lua world.
What is a loach party? It generally refers to those who use loach to make nests and make a profit by hunting a large number of mouths.
Usually, loach parties stock hundreds of pounds of live loach in the waters, and due to drug brewing, loaches will show a distorted swimming posture after entering the water, which will attract groups of cocked mouths to forage for fishing.
And because the cost of using loach to make nests is large, the loach party mostly commits crimes for gangs. After finding the mouth resources, it is often several consecutive days of fishing until the resources of the waters are exhausted, and the large number of mouths caught by the waters is sold back.
According to incomplete statistics, the market price of the loach is on average 20 or 30 yuan per catty, but the price of loach is as low as a few cents, and such a huge profit difference is the reason for the loach party's desperate risk.
In fact, loach nesting is no longer within the scope of recreational fishing, and according to the relevant provisions of the Fisheries Law, those who use poisonous bait and aquatic bait such as fish and shrimp for fishing need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
It should be noted that as a predatory fish, the presence of the mouth can effectively control the density of miscellaneous fish and diseased fish in the water body, and its role is no less than that of wolves on land, once a large number of losses, the ecological environment will be a fatal blow.
In the case of a local reservoir, for example, due to the lack of management experience, the loach party had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and in just a few days, the mouths in the reservoir area were slaughtered. As a result, the density of small trash fish increases geometrically, which has a greater impact on fishery breeding and recreational fishing in the reservoir area.
The above is only a local water, in the natural environment, if the old, weak and sick fish do not get the natural cycle, it will also lead to a decline in water quality or an increase in diseased fish, and the damage to the environment should not be underestimated.
Sadly, however, to this day, the Loach Party and most onlookers still generally believe that loach nesting is no different from normal fishing and hunting behavior. This has to make people wonder whether the pioneers' promotion of Lua and the popularization of the Internet were good or bad.
So ask yourself, when Lua becomes a tool of killing, can it still be called a movement? In the long run, unscrupulous hunting will eventually degenerate into no fish to catch, rather than a total ban on fishing.
