Human-fish interactions have a long history, dating back thousands of years to prehistoric times. Over time, people gradually explored and developed a variety of fishing methods, from the most primitive spearfishing, to the later invention of bone and stone hooks, to learning to tie nets, and modern mechanized distant-water fishing vessels. Each fishing method has its own unique characteristics and application scenarios, but recently with the advancement of science and technology, a new fishing method has been created in the modern population: shooting fish.
Recently, the Internet revealed that a new "fish shooting" movement is becoming popular in the big rivers and ditches in Guangzhou. According to witnesses, these "master fish shooters" easily hit several blackfish hidden deep in the river. Black fish have delicious flesh and hard scales, and their scales are difficult to remove when eaten, but using energy storage equipment such as slingshots, bows and arrows, the sharp fish darts (connected to the fishing line) are launched, and the high-speed flying fish darts have huge kinetic energy and can easily shoot through fish, even turtles and turtles.
It is said that the fishing method of "shooting fish" came from abroad and quickly became popular among young people on the mainland. In the rivers of Guangdong, blackfish, catfish, and tilapia are the main ones, which are large and have large heads and hard scales, which are difficult to catch. But by "shooting fish", you can easily catch them. Therefore, in the rivers and riversides of Guangzhou, Foshan and other places, you can see the figure of shooting lovers.
With the widespread sale of fishing shooting tools, more people like to shoot fish all over the country. Because, this fishing method is very efficient. In some places, some people can catch dozens or hundreds of catfish a day, including catfish, tilapia, carp, blackfish and various turtles and turtles.
In fact, in ancient China, there were many ways to shoot fish. For example, shooting fish on trees: set up a small nest on the tree, hang animal skins or bamboo nets under the nest, use the tree shape and artificial noise to make the fish surface, and then shoot with arrows; Shooting fish on the water: Shoot fish using bow and arrow techniques on board. Generally, bows and arrows are used to shoot down nearby trees or bush branches, creating noise and movement, luring the surrounding fish to swim under the boat, and an arrow is hit.
Even when catching large fish, people have a way of shooting. In Indonesia, in a village called La Marella, the villagers use the simplest tool to hunt whales with a harpoon, and the whaling tradition has continued for 600 years. The harpoons used by the villagers of La Marera are very rudimentary, consisting of bamboo poles, ropes and a Y-shaped fork head. Whalers take small boats to observe the whales on the water, and jump to the best time. The harpoon rope is tied to a bamboo pole at one end and to a small boat at the other, and once the harpoon pierces the whale's body, the rope will get stuck and the whale will not be able to escape at all. Although this ancient whaling tradition is in danger of disappearing, the inhabitants of La Marella continue to uphold this particular cultural tradition.
Modern people have no existential crisis, and it is really unnecessary to use the method of shooting fish to fish. Although Article 30 of the Fisheries Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that it is forbidden to use methods that destroy fishery resources such as fried fish, poisonous fish, electric fish and other methods for fishing. However, there is no rule that slingshots and darts cannot be used to fish, so there may not be a problem in meeting legal requirements, but this kind of fishing requires a high degree of skill and experience, and untrained personnel are prone to accidents that may harm their own safety or the safety of others. There have been many incidents on the mainland in which shooting fish has injured oneself and others.
For example, there were reports that someone shooting a fish was hit by a dart at the launch site. Moreover, when using slingshots and darts to shoot fish, due to its high power, it may cause greater damage to fish and even cause fish death. Looking at the bloody fish, the skin and flesh bloom are really cruel.
So, please stay away from shooting fish!
