Recently, a video titled “A 30-pound fish swims to the shore to beg for food from a fishing enthusiast” in Qingdao, Shandong Province, has gone viral on the internet, sparking wide attention and discussion among netizens.
The video shows a man fishing by the shore, with a large fish fearlessly swimming up to him, opening its mouth and waiting to be fed. The fisherman feeds the fish bait and then continues to calmly cast his line. This peculiar phenomenon has stirred discussions among netizens.
Some netizens jokingly commented, “This guy is a principled person. Fishing is fishing, feeding fish is feeding fish, no crossing boundaries.” “The favored ones have no fear.” “It’s possible that it has become clever.” “It chooses people, specifically targeting the fisherman who doesn’t want the fish to be handed over.” “It reminds me of herding geese. When you throw the circle, the geese cleverly dodge… They are all hired by the boss.”
According to a report by Qilu Evening News on November 5th, this incident took place at a fishing area in Qingdao, Shandong Province.
Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the fishing area, mentioned that the fish in the video weighed around 30 pounds. Due to a rule at the fishing area, fish weighing over 10 pounds are not allowed to be taken away. If someone wants to take them, they need to purchase the fish based on weight. After being caught and released multiple times, the large fish in the video has gradually lost its fear of humans and even learned to actively beg for food from them.
