As the saying goes: "Man is a knife trick, I am a fish meat", vegetarian fish is not as docile as you think. Even freshwater fish that grow up vegetarian are not so good at "bullying"!

Chinese sturgeon, also known as arowana, is a symbolic species in China. It is also a national rare protected animal.

Chinese sturgeon and silurusasotus are ancient fish that date back more than 100 million years. Compared to the amazon catfish's huge electricity and food consumption, the Chinese sturgeon topped the list for its huge size and weight. 100 kg sturgeon is common in The Sky, and sturgeon over 1 ton are occasionally caught. Of course, this fish obviously cannot be caught with a fishing rod. In the existing records, the largest white sturgeon is 9 meters long and weighs 1310 kg.

The Amazon Catfish is a giant catfish that lives in the Amazon River and its tributaries. It is known as the "number one macho" among freshwater fish. As a model for all the ferocious freshwater fish in the world, from the outside to the inside, perfect to "impeccable". They are rugged in appearance and masculine in stature. Even a grinning "smile" is full of wildness. The spindle-shaped fish are about several meters long, allowing them to move at speeds of 50 kilometers per hour in turbulent rivers and sediment. The sheer force left the men trying to catch them unable to do anything about it. During the annual fishing season, it is not uncommon for giant catfish to swim dozens of kilometers in canoes and even drag people off the boat.

In recent years, the population of these giant Amazon catfish is rapidly decreasing. But funny, the reason for the decrease is that the number of catfish fishermen who come to catch giant catfish has caught too many other fish, but the number of giant catfish has not decreased. As a result, giant catfish are too numerous and difficult to fish, endangering their survival.

Compared to several ferocious fish before it, parasitic catfish give a sense of deterrence. But for a man, there's nothing more scary than encountering a parasitic catfish.

Parasitic catfish, also known as "toothpick fish", is 18 cm long and slender. It is found in the Amazon basin of South America and feeds on gills that burrow into other fish and suck fish blood. Although parasitic catfish have little interest in humans, their feeding methods rely on water containing urea and ammonia in the gills of large fish to find a host. It is the same composition as human urine. If someone swims naked in the water, the parasitic catfish will be attracted by the smell of urine, drill into the urethra, and then unfold the barb on the gill cover, hook and suck blood inside the human body. Because the urethra is too narrow, the parasitic catfish cannot turn around and swim out, but can only drill deeper and deeper until the victim's urethra is blocked and infected, and they die of heavy bleeding or uremia.

At this time, in addition to the surgical removal of the fish, only by drinking hot tea made by the local indigenous people from the fruit of the "Gaga tree" can the bones of the parasitic catfish dissolve and slide out of the urethra. Of course, this insidious-looking fish is not useless. It is said that in some places, the caretaker will put several such fish in the water of the pool to scare those who like to urinate in the pool.

Salmon live in the sea all their lives and can only swim into the river when they spawn. They accumulate a lot of fat energy, swim 2,000 kilometers without eating anything for 60 days, and then return to their birthplace. At this time, the salmon king will use his body to rush any obstacles on the way home, they can squash the aluminum hull, crash the wooden bow, and easily destroy the fishing tackle. After the "Law of the Jungle" screening, less than 1/5 of the strong salmon with extraordinary endurance and strength can survive long migrations and obtain mating and breeding qualifications.

The Geraro fish is the most aggressive of the fish. It's like a snake on land. It likes to push its limits — it always eats something similar to or even heavier than itself. Every year, when winter rats and lemmings migrate across the river, fishing enthusiasts often find zaro fish on the shore, and because they eat too many winter rats and lemmings, zalo fish are propped to death or even broken.

This ferocious carnivorous fish is widely distributed in continental Europe, Russia and Central Asia, and is also known as the most cunning freshwater fish. After biting the hook, they will try their best to jump out of the water and struggle. If they can't get rid of the hook, they will jump into the water and try their best to escape downstream. During the escape, they swim to nearby underwater obstacles and try to wrap fishing filaments around stakes and aquatic weeds. It is only possible to catch it ashore in waters with good luck or less debris.

As the saying goes, "big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp", but in some lakes and rivers in the Amazon basin of South America, there is a community of small fish that is not afraid of large animals and is very aggressive. In Brazil's Mabagoloso state, about 1,200 cows are eaten by them in the river every year. Some children playing in the water and women washing clothes are also attacked by fish from time to time. Because of its ferocious characteristics, it is known as the "water ghost" by the locals. This is pomfret.

Pomfret, also known as piranhas, is mainly distributed in the rivers of central and southern South America and the Brazilian Amazon River Basin, ranking first among the four most dangerous aquatic species in the region. Their skulls, especially the jawbone, are very hard. The bite force of their upper and lower jaws is amazing. They can bite through cowhide and wood. Ordinary steel hooks can also be bitten off in one bite. In addition, they follow the leader in groups. Other fish are not competitors at all. Even crocodiles, which usually dominate in the water, shrink into a clump when encountering an army of piranhas. It will turn the body upside down and immediately float to the surface of the water, with its back facing down. Only in this way can the piranha bite its own stomach and protect its own life.

With such a strange name, the fish known as the world's fierce freshwater fish is actually a close relative of the carp. In a sense, this is basically a powerful illustration of Darwin's theory of evolution. Bigheads live in the most turbulent rapids of rivers in the Indian mountains, where flow rates range from 10 km/h to 15 km/h. The harsh environment cultivates the brute force and endurance of the head fish. It has huge scales and thick lips. Its mouth has strong teeth that bite the bait and the big hook together. Even if it is lucky enough to bite the hook, it can fight the fishermen for hours after biting the hook without showing fatigue. A single charge can pull all the fishing lines out of the reels, causing the angler to either jump off the rapids and swim with the fish, or stand still and wait for the fishing line to bounce back like a bullet after being broken by the fish.

British fisheries expert John Wilson once said: "No fish can compare with the giant bighead fish." The fish looks only 3 meters long and weighs dozens of kilograms, and when it collides, it can pull a 30-meter-long fishing line like a locomotive at a time, and then dive to the bottom of the water to save energy. If your tackle can't pull it at all while it's trying to rest, you may have to spend the day to see who gets dragged down first. So, if your tackle doesn't stand the test, you'd better stay home and don't come out. ”

At the fishing camp on the south shore of New Britain, the second largest island in the New Guinea Archipelago, there is a saying: "The thicker the fishing wire, the louder the sound of the fishing wire breaking", the fishing wire here is 18 kg of fishing wire connected to 36 kg of metal fishing wire, and with a very strong carbon mix rod. Of course, fishermen must have a strong body and physique. The main species of fish here is a New Guinean perch called perch, which lives mainly in rapids.

This perch has the sharp teeth of a German hound and is as strong as a bull. Once hooked, they will desperately accelerate their sprints, at which point the angler must use all his strength and not give up fighting it. If this fish is allowed to sprint faster, it will be extremely difficult for fishermen to maintain their balance on the rushing river, and the huge pull will pull the fishing line clean... Finally, when the fish pull the boat upstream, a loud breaking line is always heard on the river.
