Fisherman: As we all know, the world's largest fish is the whale in the sea, and the fish in the sea range from hundreds to thousands of pounds, but the individuals of freshwater fish are much smaller than them. However, although freshwater fish are not as big as marine fish, there are also a small number of fish that can also grow up to hundreds of pounds, but recently someone caught one.
Recently, when a man from Hubei was fishing in the local non-prohibited fishing waters, he luckily caught a "big fish king", and after several hours of walking the fish, he pulled the big fish ashore, and said excitedly after measuring: Breaking the record! However, some netizens said: This fish cannot be released. Why?
Eel, also known as eel mix, largemouth eel, yellow mackerel, yellow diamond, yellow cheek fish and rod fish. Eel is a freshwater fish, like to inhabit the freshwater rivers of our country, is a Luya fishing enthusiast, one of the most want to fish species. But in actual fishing, eels are not as easy to catch as they think.
A few days ago, Lao Zhang (pseudonym), a man from Wuhan, Hubei Province, an obsessive fishing enthusiast, met with friends in the evening to fish in the nearby non-prohibited waters. According to Lao Zhang (pseudonym), not long after coming to the river, he got on the fish on his side, and judging from the power of the fishing rod and the fishing line, it should be a big one.
Therefore, in the process of walking the fish, I was also extra careful, because the strength of the fish was too large, so I could only walk the fish in shifts with my friends, and walked from the evening until dark before dragging the big fish ashore. Only then did I find that I had caught a "king of eels", no wonder the strength when walking the fish was so great.
Lao Zhang (pseudonym) and his friends wasted all their strength to drag the big eel to the cement road, and quickly took out a tape measure to measure the length of the fish. After measurement, the length of this "eel king" is 1.7 meters, and Lao Zhang (pseudonym) said excitedly: He broke his fishing record!
However, because the large eel is too heavy and does not have the tools to weigh it, it can only be estimated based on the length and size of the eel. After estimating with friends, this large eel weighs between 90 and 100 pounds. Lao Zhang's friend sighed that catching this big fish can blow for a lifetime!
Eels are not many in natural waters, although many anglers have been caught, but most of the individuals are within 1 meter and weigh about 20 pounds. Although few people can catch hundreds of pounds of large eels, it does not mean that the eels are less than 100 pounds long.
In fact, the eel is a large fish, the largest can grow to more than 2 meters long, weigh more than 150 pounds. It's not that the big eel is not easy to catch, but you may not be able to stop it if you catch it, because the eel is fierce, especially its impact force is very large, it can hit the ordinary fishing net into a big hole in an instant. Therefore, Lao Zhang can catch a large eel with a length of 1.7 meters, and he is also a well-deserved "eel king".
In the fishing circle, everyone advocates catching and releasing, especially catching some uncommon fish, or large-scale fish, such as hundreds of pounds of large blue fish, large grass carp, etc., thinking that wild fish can grow to more than a hundred pounds, I don't know how much suffering to go through. Of course, if the fisherman is lucky enough to catch it, he will not hesitate to release it.
However, this big eel caught by Lao Zhang in Hubei Province, netizens do not recommend releasing it. After understanding, the fisherman originally preyed on fish and shrimp, and the larger the eel, also specialized in eating wild fish with larger individuals. This 1.7-meter-long "Eel King" can swallow about 5 kilograms of grass carp and carp in one bite, and its food is very large.
Therefore, netizens (with a good name) said: "This product is estimated to eat tons of fish a year"; another netizen named (Dayin Xisheng) said: "Eel, the most ferocious freshwater fish in China, is known as a tiger in the water, and the creatures in the water do not eat it", so netizens (cat Ning): "This fish cannot be put".
Eels are ferocious carnivorous fish, and if a large number of eels appear in a certain body of water at the same time, they will indeed pose a threat to other organisms living in the water, and even the possibility of extinction. Catching a 1.7-meter large eel in natural waters is indispensable, both in terms of skill and luck. But the fisherman's personal opinion is that as long as it is not released in captive waters, it can be handled as much as it is happy, but the most annoying thing is moral kidnapping. #Fishing##Eel ##湖北 #
