There are many kinds of fish in natural waters, and it is normal for some fish to look like each other at once, such as the earth catfish and Egyptian pond catfish that Xiaofei has written before
Seeing a photo of a mullet on the Internet today reminds me of the mistake of releasing this product as a grass carp.
Although it's not a good season for mullet fishing, I'll share my story with you now
The first time I caught a mullet, I mistook it for grass carp and lost it, and I regretted dying!
First of all, let's introduce the mullet, mullet, also known as aconitum, mullet, belongs to the wide temperature, wide salt type of fish, can live in fresh water, brackish water, brackish water
Mullet is long, cylindrical at the front and flattened at the rear end, which at first glance really resembles grass carp, and if you compare closely, you will find a slight difference in the head and scales
mullet
Grass carp
Why do you admit it?
Because I had never caught this kind of fish in my hometown, nor had I eaten it anywhere
Later is to work in the field, there was a weekend break to go to the nearby wild river fishing, after catching a few ears of wheat, suddenly drifted a black, I think this is a big cargo to come ah, so slammed together with the rod, did not expect the fish to jump out, seconds cut!
Such a fierce explosive force, first of all, excluded the ears of wheat, according to the feel of the judgment is not a carp, but and grass carp is a bit similar, I also estimated that there may be three or five pounds
Immediately after changing the new sub-line, I cut a pair again, too late to marvel, immediately thickened the line number, it is strange to say, the fish did not fry the nest twice, the thick sub-line did not shake two shots and hit, this time steadily on the shore
The fish was caught, but I was not satisfied, because I thought that the pull was so strong that it should be three or five pounds, and the result was more than one pound
I also mistaken it for a small milkweed, although it always seems that something is wrong, but we have not seen mullet, we can only think that it is grass carp
At that time, I took a few photos backwards, but since it was identified as grass carp, it was useless to keep this pound of milk grass, and it was thrown back into the river (many years ago, the photos were long gone, and the above photos are all network pictures, so that everyone can see the straight view)
This fish came in a flock, almost connected, very symmetrical, all about a pound, but they were all released by me, fishing for a photo, and then throwing it away
Later, I returned home and sent the photo to the group, saying that today the small grass carp pulled wildly, and the result was ridiculed, saying that this is mullet, delicious ~ here omitted 1000 sentences spit
Anyway, regret that the medicine has no place to buy, release it as a good thing, the heart is bitter, but do not say...
Mullet is actually also an omnivorous fish, but the use of bait is still fishy, and later with friends to fish several times, are the use of fishy bait, such as blue crucian carp, no. 4 + no. 6, red devils, etc., bait formula is not exquisite, anyway, fishy a little good
Fishing method to bottom fishing, because of its strong pull, the need for thicker line groups, fish hooks can be slightly smaller, other there is no special attention to the place, welcome to add
I don't know if you have ever caught this kind of fish, and have anyone made a mistake like me when they first caught it?
I have caught the largest mullet is more than two pounds, no matter how big has not seen, do not know how much the single tail of the fishing friends is (mullet only), welcome to leave a comment
