Fishing, whether in large rivers or streams, there are always those anglers. Some, rain or shine, aim not just to catch a fish, but to pursue a hobby. However, among the many favorite fish of anglers, there is one fish that is avoided: the "blue fish", or known as the first of the four big fish. Why?

The mainland has many freshwater fish, among which the "grass silver carp" is known as the four big fish of the mainland, including blue carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp. Although some people may mistakenly think that silver carp and bighead carp are the same fish, confusing blue carp with grass carp, in fact these four fish belong to different categories. Look closely and you'll notice that grass carp is lighter in color, while bluefish is darker. In addition, grass carp are smaller, while bluefish are larger.
So why is the bluefish known as the first of the four big fish? Bluefish is a carnivorous fish that eats snails in the river, so it is also called "snail blue". In addition, there is a treasure on the bluefish, a crystal clear round object located in the throat, called bluefish stone. In general, the larger the bluefish, the larger the bluefish stone. In addition, the meat of blue fish is tender and delicious, and it has high nutritional value when eaten, so it is known as "the best freshwater fish". Bluefish stone is also often used to make various crafts, the most common of which is pendants. According to experts, the handicrafts made of bluefish stone are crystal clear and have high ornamental value.
However, although the blue fish is delicious, it is nicknamed "Somei fish" for some reason. Why? Sometimes bluefish surface due to injuries or lack of oxygen in the water due to heavy rainfall flooding. When this happens, people will be tempted to go into the water to catch bluefish, after all, in the past era of lack of living resources, it was enough to catch a large bluefish enough for a family to eat several meals. At that time, there was no advanced fishing equipment, and unlike the mechanical equipment used by sea fishing boats today, it was only possible to take the most primitive way and catch it with bare hands. This is undoubtedly a life-and-death battle with the blue fish, the winner will enjoy the food, and the loser may die. As mentioned earlier, bluefish are huge, usually growing up to 150 cm, 3 to 5 times larger than the average adult fish. The weight is correspondingly large, the maximum can reach about 140 pounds, and the common blue fish is 70-90 cm in size and weighs about 30-40 pounds. This means that once the bluefish is hooked, it will show a strong pull in the water. Therefore, once a person enters the water to fish, it is very likely that accidents may occur, which will threaten people's lives.
Although modern society has a variety of fishing equipment, it is difficult to completely avoid accidents. In addition, high-end fishing gear such as brand-name fishing rods are not cheap, and a brand-name fishing rod may be worth thousands or even tens of thousands. If the bluefish is hooked, it is very likely to pull the rod away, and the angler will have to go into the water to chase. In either case, launching into the water can be dangerous and worrying. As a result, the title of "Somei Fish" was widely spread. In fact, this is not prejudice against bluefish, but because too many people die while chasing bluefish.
Some people may ask, in this case, can we try to cultivate blue fish in captivity like sharks and other "water killers"? However, bluefish are extremely difficult to be intensively cultured, prone to hypoxia, and are carnivorous. Considering the cost of farming, the cost is too high, but the price is similar to that of other fish. Therefore, blue fish are rarely farmed in captivity, and they are less often on the table.
Nevertheless, there are still some anglers who are proud to catch bluefish. It makes us ponder the mysteries of nature and reminds us to restrain our desires and put our lives first. Fishing is no exception.
