Heilongjiang is a watery province, with the NenJiang River in the west, the Heilongjiang River in the east, the Ussuri River, and the Mudanjiang River in the south, which is extremely rich in aquatic products. Fishermen of the Ussuri River often say: Three flowers, five luomei, eighteen sons in Songjiang. It's about the most famous fish in the Northeast. Fresh and delicious "pan-fried large white fish, braised potatoes with squid, home stewed beeftail fish, braised river bass, dried roasted salmon." "There are also more than fifteen pounds of fat heads, wild big squid, organic crucian carp and countless other delicacies.
I was born in a small town on the banks of the Ussuri River called Hutou Town, more than 50 kilometers from Zhenbao Island. When I was a child, I heard that there had been a battle of The Treasure Island between China and the Soviet Union here. In those days, I learned to fish. The fishing scene is still unforgettable to me.
When I was young, I loved fishing on the Ussuri River, where you don't need any good tackle, just sturdy. About three hundred meters on the west side of the highway bridge, this is a curve and the water is turbulent, so I put down the pole two meters downstream of a huajian tip, and everything is ready at eight o'clock. A total of four hand poles and two sea poles, and both used a string of hook earthworms, began to wait patiently. Two eyes from time to time to sweep to the four rods slightly, about nine o'clock in the middle of the 4.5 meters of the rod tip gently clicked twice, my heart also trembled twice, a sharp lift of the rod did not lift the feeling of hooking, I shook the rod like hanging a dead object, there was no feel at all, when the rod was almost halfway, suddenly the tip of the rod slammed into the water, I held the rod with both hands and sat on the ground, the fiberglass fishing rod was bent into an arc, then the fish struggled even harder.
yes! So heavy, I caught two big bulltail fish, each more than a foot long, 1 pound, and 1 ga fish, also more than half a foot long, about 200 grams of weight, and then friends also caught three big bull tail fish, ox tail fish look similar to the head of the fish, just the body, slender like a cow's tail. The scientific name of this fish is Ussuri maki, which is widely distributed in Heilongjiang, Ussuri, Songhua and other waters. Prefers to inhabit slow streams, starting with juvenile fish, i.e. feeding on zooplankton and benthic organisms. The food composition of adult fish is mainly ephemerals and hairy fin larvae, rocking mosquito larvae, mosquitoes and other insects, small fish. Generally, the weight of the individual is 0.5 to 2 kg, and the maximum weight is more than 5 kg.
About the "oxtail" fish and "toothfish", "yellow jaw" is not a fish, oxtail fish " than "toothfish" taste much better, the price is very different, we are now more than 3 two, the price of opening the river is more than 100 yuan a pound, the current market 70 yuan a pound. In our case, "beef tail stew eggplant supports the old man", describing this fish as more delicious.
At that time, fishing by the river, you can often see soviet gunboats driving upstream from downstream, and every time a child will shout: "Run, the old maozi's gunboat is coming", look up, really come, throw your legs and run. But the Soviet ships will not casually go to our shore, and in the blink of an eye, the Soviet gunboats have passed early, and only the waves lapped at the shore and made a fuss, and the people on the shore were relieved and frightened. Take a look at our fishing line, and the anglers start walking their own.
There is a mantra: "Stick roe deer scoop fish, pheasants fly into the rice pot." "It's not an exaggeration to use this saying to describe the abundance of resources here. After the big fish caught was dragged to the near shore, the fisherman took the cloth gown, wrapped the fish, carried it up and ran, not even the hemp rope for fishing. Fishing back then was much simpler, more casual and easier than it is now.
Now, most of the good fishing spots in the urban section of the Ussuri River have no fish to catch, and some have simply disappeared... I think that the Ussuri River from the past water beauty fish, to the current Wangjiang sigh, should not be the inevitable development of natural history, I hope that people can learn some experience and lessons from it.
