Why do foreigners like to fish with guns?

Fishing is not about martial arts.

For most people, “fishing” is a very special activity – and its fun varies from person to person: everyone likes fishing for different reasons.

For example, for some anglers, collecting useful equipment is the most interesting step; at the same time, some people think that they are the happiest when they find different fishing spots; and more anglers still feel that they are waiting for the prey to be hooked. The process is the essence of fishing activities…

But even so, everyone still has the same consensus: the most fun and exciting step in fishing has to be “game with fish”.

When the fish was hooked, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank a bit, and a wrestling between man and prey was about to begin. In a short period of tens of seconds, it will be revealed who will win and who will lose.

No one can resist the sense of accomplishment that the process brings.


Except, of course, American fishermen.

For some American fishermen, fishing is significantly more labor-saving. They often ignore the most exciting part of “wrestling with fish” and choose to carry a pistol with them to create a new fishing order:

Hang the bait – cast the rod – watch the drift – wait for the fish to be hooked –

Killed on the spot

In some areas where guns are highly legal, this is no longer new: pistols are part of the fishing tackle.

After the big fish took the bait, some fishermen no longer tried to use brute force to compete with each other, but chose to use more high-tech ways to solve the problem.

Times have changed!

In the beginning, this was a very rare phenomenon – people would use such dangerous weapons only when some very large or particularly lethal fish took the bait.

But as this kind of violence has grown in popularity, gun fishing has become the newest way to go.

Just two years ago, a well-known fishing blogger named Joey Antonelli on YouTube led a wave of popularity with his Vlog.

In his video, fishing no longer needs to be thoughtful and laborious.

Not even a fishing rod is needed.

In a way, this is not gun abuse. Because in the dangerous sea fishing process, struggling fish can be regarded as one of the risk factors.

The layman may not understand this: a halibut usually takes three or four shots with a shotgun before it can be pulled aboard. In this case, simply using brute force or harpooning will not help, only bullets are the most direct way.

But today, European and American fishermen who have understood this new process have actually no longer scrutinized the big fish and small fish.

They only pay attention to one principle when they go to sea: shoot and finish.

In today’s circle of some European and American fishing men, shooting fishing has become a basic operation. Perhaps it was because their behavior was too advanced, and some passers-by who didn’t know about it also talked about it.

But overall, people are still supportive. Some people even think that fishing in this way can kill faster, which can further reduce the pain of fish compared with ordinary fishing.

In addition, the addition of the pistol also allows some particularly difficult fish to be handled more effectively. In Florida, for example, one man even modified a 9mm pistol to work 100 feet underwater for overfishing in an effort to eradicate the native invasive lionfish.

Although the use of pistols similar to this has somewhat distorted the essence of the activity of “fishing”. But after all, people have different views on this hobby, as long as “the same destination” is not a big problem.

As an activity that is popular all over the world, it is clear that there is no unique way for people to enjoy “fishing”. In Pasig City, Philippines, “fishing” with converted air guns is even a local form of entertainment.

A small group of local “fishing men” in the Philippines. Air rifles equipped with small harpoons are often used to catch tilapia surfaced at specific fishing spots.

This phenomenon of “changing a gun with a gun” is no longer uncommon in various regions. In Mississippi, the silver carp is an invasive species—the timid fish that are often startled by motors when boats pass by, so that they fly out of the water and injure crew members.

In order to solve this problem, some people even invented the game of shooting silver carp with a shotgun.

Although in fishing, an activity characterized by “quietness”, “patience” and “health preservation”, it may seem a bit funny to use “shooting” to cut through the mess, but for the fast-paced present, this may be inevitable. one of the trends.

Already people are asking “Can I go fishing with just a gun”.

After all, it is the nature of the fishermen to enjoy themselves. Even fishing with a gun is a pleasure.

– Of course, the premise is that you don’t get your spirit out of trouble.
