It seems that men's fondness for fishing is an innate instinct. Just think, in ancient times, wouldn't this have been a kind of hunting skill? So fishing itself is a survival skill. It's just that it has now turned into leisure and entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was about ten years old, I would go swimming in the nearby reservoir with the older kids. When tired from swimming, go ashore and use a simple bamboo pole to hang earthworms dug from the soil or small shrimps caught under the stones on the shore as bait. The pound-billed silver carp (scientific name: green tip red \u9c8c). This fish is naturally fierce. Just by looking at its pouting expression, it has a look of \"What are you looking at?\" in a defiant manner. After catching the fish, we directly piled up stones on the shore, made a fire, and roasted the branches to eat. It's absolutely fresh, wild, organic and hormone-free, except that there are a bit more fish bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, when passing by the river, all the people fishing are middle-aged men and grandpas. Alone, find a quiet spot, quietly gaze at the water surface, and aim at the buoy while fishing. I guess they all have seen through life and don't want to socialize. They just want to get close to nature alone and relax their minds and bodies. While waiting, you can reflect on life. Even if a fish bites the hook, one can still gain great joy and a sense of achievement.
Pretty good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when men go fishing, what they are catching is not the fish but their state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
