MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 276 Grandpa has a friend who needs a fix
Chapter 276 Grandpa has a friend who needs to make up
On the boat, you can see that the pomfret density is very high, but Chu Mingcheng is not very happy fishing, because he failed to connect the rod, and even caught three in half an hour.
The hunting of dolphins and sea lions made the pomfrets only think about running away, not eating bait.
Fish is not easy to catch, Chu Mingcheng looked at the sea, and suddenly thought of the small net he bought to cast the scavenger.
That net was put in the corner after it was used once, and because he bought a new boat, he moved everything to the boat.
So he immediately put away the fishing rod, went to the small tool room next to the cabin living room, and took out the cast net that was pressed at the bottom of the box.
Casting a net and pressing it under the bottom for a long time will harden into a cake, but the problem is not big, it will soften after soaking in water.
Back on the deck, after soaking the casting net, Chu Mingcheng tidied up the net again, and then threw the net out with a sound of "hey".
When the net is cast, it rises in the wind, and with a "swipe", a circle with a diameter of four or five meters is drawn on the sea.
The dolphins and sea lions are on the other two sides, forming a triangle together with the Poseidon.
So when he casts the net, he doesn't have to worry about throwing them, and he doesn't have to worry about them coming and doing damage.
After the net sank, Chu Mingcheng pulled the rope and lifted the net up.
Before the net was fully raised, I saw a burst of boiling on the water surface, and there was a lot of movement in the pomfret jumping inside.
These pomfrets look the size of a palm, a dozen or so.
As the net was pulled up, Chu Mingcheng showed a satisfied smile.
The density of pomfret is quite high, there are more than 20 pomfrets in one net.
If he can meet a school of fish every time he goes out to sea, he doesn't even need to buy bait, and the cost of a trip to sea will be directly reduced by 10,000.
Then he opened the net and dumped the fish into the live water tank.
Some hanging on the net have to be caught by hand to avoid damage to the fishing net.
Each of the living water tanks is very large. These twenty or so pomfrets looked quite a lot, but when they were poured in, they were empty.
Then tidied up the net, and Chu Mingcheng continued to cast the net.
Three times, the density of fish in the living water tank has obviously increased a lot, but it took more than half an hour.
Casting the net is quite fast, but it takes some time to untangle the fish and sort it out.
And this time, the sea lions seemed to be full, and each came back with a fish in their mouth, and put it in front of him after seeing him.
Looking at the three pomfrets that were still alive and kicking in front of his feet, Chu Mingcheng picked them up and threw them into the living water tank.
"Go around these foods and try not to let them escape." He issued a new order.
Originally, he wanted the sea lions to catch some fish, but now that the speed of casting the net is so fast, he doesn't care about the few fish they catch.
So he just asks the sea lions to stop the school of fish, he doesn't count on the dolphins.
To put it bluntly, they are predators. The dolphins are considered friendly if they don’t attack them. How could they come forward to get close.
When the sea lions heard the new order, they immediately went back into the water to intercept the school of fish.
Chu Mingcheng also continued to cast the net, and after two hours, the third foam box at his feet was also full.
Including more than 100 pomfrets in the running water tank, he caught nearly 400 pomfrets in total.
The living water tank in the middle is filled with more than a hundred fish, and the space utilization is almost full.
Continue to put fish in it, even with oxygen, it is estimated that a large number of them will die tomorrow morning.
As live bait, these more than a hundred pomfrets are definitely enough, so he put all the rest in empty foam boxes and moved them to the refrigerated cabin for storage.
The remaining living water tank does not need to be used to raise this pomfret, it is not necessary.
The real function of the live water tank is to raise some expensive and valuable fish, and bring these fish back to the shore alive, not to put live bait.
At first he wanted to continue casting nets, but unfortunately the sea lions came back.
Looking tired, Chu Mingcheng put away the nets, ashamed to squeeze them again.
Looking at the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Chu Mingcheng launched the Poseidon, ready to find a new water area, and see if it can use the fish lure light at night to attract a few tuna.
After about half an hour, he came to a water area with a depth of more than 220 meters.
There are no traces of big fish on the fish finder, but there are many fish schools at the bottom.
You should be able to catch a lot of deep-sea fish here. If you don’t meet tuna at night, then fishing deep-sea fish is also a good choice.
The boat stopped for a while without turning off the fire. Chu Mingcheng came to the deck and put the tuna offal and a dozen chopped pomfrets into the crab cage and shrimp cage respectively.
Then he came to the dance studio and said to Jiang Luoluo who was practicing dancing: "Luoluo, help me get off the boat, I'll put the crab cage down."
"What time is it?" Jiang Luoluo stopped dancing and asked after slowing down her rapid breathing.
"It's almost five o'clock, dinner will be made after the crab cage is put out, and you will also have a rest."
"OK~"
Then Jiang Luoluo went to sail the boat, and cooperated with Chu Mingcheng to put down the crab pots and shrimp pots one by one.
After finishing, the two came to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
But Jiang Luoluo first took out a plastic box from the refrigerator, opened the lid, and revealed the raw marinated tiger prawns and rich prawns inside.
She put on disposable gloves, picked up a spotted prawn, peeled off its shell, and handed the prawn meat to Chu Mingcheng's mouth: "How about the taste?"
"It must be delicious." He has full confidence in Jiang Luoluo when it comes to raw pickling.
After finishing speaking, he bit the piece of shrimp meat and sucked it into his mouth.
Suddenly, a strong taste of juice spread in his mouth, and then he bit into the jelly-like cold shrimp meat.
Another burst of fresh and sweet taste strikes again, combined with the rich flavor and slightly spicy juice, it is full of deliciousness, and the appetite is also opened.
So Chu Mingcheng hurriedly made dinner so as not to growl hungry.
Jiang Luoluo didn't do anything tonight, she was peeling two kinds of shrimp beside her, and quickly peeled a large plate.
Get some more sauce and pour it into a small bowl, so you can save one dish from cooking at night.
Chu Mingcheng copied a piece of spinach, fried a piece of steak and cut it into pieces.
Of course, there is also delicious rice.
Half an hour later, Jiang Luoluo put down the bowl and chopsticks contentedly and leaned back on the chair.
The next moment, she touched her flat belly in distress again: "Oh, if I eat like this, I always feel that I will get fat."
"If you are a little fatter, you won't look good in front of the camera."
Women who can feel slim in front of the camera actually look thin in reality.
Jiang Luoluo is a dance professional and has higher requirements for body shape.
But Chu Mingcheng looked at her slender figure, and was a little speechless: "Your figure makes other women envious, and being fatter won't affect your beauty."
"Besides, seafood has low fat content, so you only ate half a bowl of rice at night, so what are you afraid of?"
If Jiang Luoluo didn't want to start a career, he would definitely let her eat more.
Although she should be big and thin, it would be even better if she was a little plump and reached the ceiling of the fat world.
"Then you have to pay attention, no, I have to continue dancing at night, and consume more energy."
"Will you go fishing with me at night?"
"Who made you so bad at noon, let me sleep in the afternoon and wasted two hours, I have to make up for it at night."
Facing Jiang Luoluo's white eyes, Chu Mingcheng showed a proud smile.
After a break, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together, and then separated to do their own things.
Chu Mingcheng returned to the deck and put all the fishing lights on the boat into the water.
He took out the electric twisting rod that Jiang Luoluo used to catch tuna in the morning, and installed it in the fishing hole at the stern.
Finally he got out some squid bait and put it on the deck to thaw first.
Chu Mingcheng sat on a chair and played with his mobile phone for a while, and shared some photos of tuna in the morning with Zhang Wei, which made him envious.
After more than half an hour, the periphery of the squid bait was almost melted. He took out one, hung it on the hook and threw it into the water.
Under the weight of the lead pendant, the squid, which might have been floating on the water surface, suddenly descended rapidly and came to the bottom of the water.
The water depth here has been displayed on the fish finder, and the length of the fishing line is also displayed on the electric reel, so he precisely parked the bait at a position about one meter from the bottom.
is relatively close to the bottom. If the ocean current at the bottom is larger, it is easy to hang to the bottom.
But judging from the situation of the fishing line, the speed of the bottom water flow is not very fast.
I don’t know what kind of fish there are here, Chu Mingcheng is looking forward to it.
After a while, the tip of the fishing rod began to swing up and down, then bent down suddenly, and trembled slightly.
A fish bit the hook, Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fishing rod and stabbed the fish first, then pressed the button to reel in the line.
The electric winch started to work immediately, and the moment the line was taken up, the tip of the pole bent down a little under the action of force.
The fishing line was not retracted for a while, and it seemed to be deadlocked.
Chu Mingcheng was taken aback, could it be the bottom line?
Fortunately, at the next moment, the tip of the pole bounced back suddenly, and the numbers on the electric reel began to jump, but the fishing line was still tight. It seemed that the fishing line was not broken, but the fish was pulled up.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, he was lucky, the first shot didn't catch Lan Xing, and it seemed no problem to be so close to the bottom.
Looking at the rapidly beating numbers on the electric winch, and thinking of the stalemate just now, Chu Mingcheng couldn't figure out whether the fish was big or not.
Until a snake-like creature wrapped around a fishing line broke out of the water, he suddenly realized that it was a moray eel.
Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fishing line and was about to lift the moray eel to the deck, but raised his brows when he lifted it, which is a bit heavy!
When the moray eel landed on the deck, its originally twisted body stretched out immediately, and its length definitely exceeded 1.5 meters.
Moray eels are ferocious, with a row of sharp teeth exposed in their open mouths.
The squid was bitten at its throat, and the fishhook was just stuck in the corner of its mouth.
No wonder it can be pulled up. If the mouth is straight, with the sharp teeth of this moray eel, it can definitely bite off the sub-thread.
Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng took out his mobile phone, took a short video of Moray, and sent it to Wei Jiaguo.
"Grandpa, do you want this moray eel?"
This is a crane moray eel. Under the light, its back is a little purple and its belly is white.
Normal crane moray eels are not that big, usually just about the size of a meter.
And this one is definitely over 1.5 meters. When he mentioned the weight just now, he felt that it was at least 30 catties.
Crane moray eels of this size are extremely rare. He hasn’t fished since he came back from Australia, so he can’t send some rare seafood to Wei Jiaguo.
Now, he believes that the other party has another excuse of "can't find a home".
After the video was sent, Chu Mingcheng replied to the message before he had time to get the hook for the moray eel.
"Going out to sea? This moray eel is good. A friend of my grandfather just needs to replenish it. Remember to call me when you are ready to come back."
These words were obviously meant to be said, Chu Mingcheng showed a smile, and replied: "Okay, but I bought a new boat, and now I'm in the far sea, and I probably won't go back until a few days."
Wei Jiaguo was a little surprised when he saw this message. He actually wanted to go to sea after the fishing ban passed.
At first, he planned to call Chu Mingcheng, after all, he was lucky.
It's just that I was delayed by some things on my side, but I didn't expect this junior to buy a ship to go to the far sea without saying a word.
Now he was more interested, so he asked him to notify himself when he came back.
When the time comes, he will go to the Chuming City boat to see the catch as soon as possible, hoping to see if there will be any good things that are beyond his expectations.
The moray eel was booked out as soon as it was caught, and it would be no problem to sell it for 3,000.
Satisfied, Chu Mingcheng pressed down on its neck with his hand, and pulled the fishhook from the corner of its mouth.
Then it grabbed the moray eel and threw it into the living water tank, which is next to the spiny armored shrimp, occupying a small space alone.
Moray eel was a little uneasy when it first came to a strange environment, and it poked around in the living water tank like a snake. It took most of the time to calm down, lying motionless on the bottom.
Chu Mingcheng didn't bother to care about it, he rehung a small squid and continued fishing.
And in order to speed up fishing, he took out another boat pole and replaced it with another electric winch.
The probability of the fish being caught by the two fishing rods is higher, and he can fully take care of it.
After a short while, he caught a Rayto's grouper and a jeweled walleye respectively.
These are fish species unique to the waters around Baodao, which are not found in other sea areas in China, and the prices are not cheap, at least one hundred and one catty can be sold.
If you can reach the shore alive, at least two hundred and one catties.
It's a pity that these two kinds of fish are not very big, only about three or four catties.
In the next period of time, Chu Mingcheng caught all kinds of deep-sea fish in the sea area of Baodao.
It lasted until about nine o'clock before the efficiency slowed down.
The last vacant living water tank has also been turned on for oxygenation, and there are more than ten deep-sea fish swimming slowly in it.
After the fish Chu Mingcheng deflated, they seemed to be alive, so they were put in the living water tank first.
Some stomachs spit up to the mouth, so they can only be frozen.
But these fish are not very big, the largest is only sixty or seventy centimeters.
Fortunately, there are not too small ones, and the small ones are 40 centimeters, which has something to do with the size of the fishhook.
More than 20 fish may add up to more than 70 catties. If they are all alive, they may be sold for more than 10,000.
And these fish are free from ciguatera, so they can be eaten with confidence.
It's just that after nine o'clock, the efficiency of fishing is obviously much slower.
Maybe the fish gathered at the bottom of the water have dispersed, and the fish lure lights have been put down for several hours, so Chu Mingcheng came to the cab to see what was happening on the fish finder.
When he saw two thick red lines appearing on the fish finder, and they were at the position of 60 meters in the water layer, he immediately beamed with joy.
The fish lure lamp was placed 60 meters below the water. Obviously there were two big fish at the bottom that were attracted by the light.
Judging from the phototaxis of the species, these two are most likely tuna.
Originally planning to go back to rest without any fish, Chu Mingcheng hurried out of the cab, took out a heavy boat pole to replace the electric twisting pole, and then hung a fresh pomfret and threw it into the water.
The weight of the lead pendant made it impossible for the pomfret to swim at all, but its struggling tail proved that it was still alive.
And this kind of injured fish is more likely to attract the attention of predatory fish.
Then he moved the squid back to the refrigerated cabin, and moved out the mackerel that was left in the morning. Without thinking about thawing, he picked up a butcher's knife and chopped it into pieces, then threw it into the water.
The fish block thawed quickly during the descent, not to mention whether the big fish would eat it or not, but at least the process of the fish block falling had already attracted the attention of the two big fish at the bottom of the water.
As they swam closer, the attention immediately shifted from the fish mass to the injured pomfret.
The shadow struck, and the huge mouth that had been open swallowed the pomfret immediately.
"Zhi Zhi Zhi" and the fishing rod on the boat bent instantly, and the movement immediately made Chu Mingcheng stop throwing fish pieces, and immediately grabbed the fishing rod and lifted it.
The man was just throwing the fish block at the stern of the boat, so the timing of stabbing the fish was very timely.
If you are still chopping mackerel, then the time to stab the fish is a bit late, and whether you can stab the fish depends on luck.
After stabbing the fish, Chu Mingcheng took the boat pole out of the fishing hole.
The fishing rod is placed obliquely on the left side of the body, and the center of gravity is lowered and pulled. He wants to know the size of the fish first, and then decide how to catch it.
If it is the size of the few tuna in the morning, then stand directly and catch it quickly with brute force.
After all, it is already past nine o'clock in the evening, which is a bit late.
If it is particularly large, then sit on a chair and take your time, it is worth it no matter how late it is.
Unexpectedly, the sudden explosion of the fish made him stagger suddenly, and almost hit the side of the boat.
Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng has great strength now, so he stabilized immediately after reacting.
The boat pole became more and more bent, and the handle in his hand could not be pushed down for a while, but his eyes were bright.
This kind of hand feel and strength is no smaller than the southern bluefin tuna he caught in the South China Sea before!
Even if it is a cheap yellow fin, the strength is at least three hundred catties, and it can sell for at least fifteen thousand.
Of course, albacore tuna will definitely not be so powerful. This kind of tuna can hold up to 150 catties.
After a short stalemate, the big fish at the bottom felt the sting in its mouth and the huge power coming from above.
Then instinctively began to shake his head, trying to spit out the foreign body in his mouth.
But Chu Mingcheng lifted the fishing rod vigorously and pulled the handle, only when he felt that the fishing line was about to snap off, he would loosen the handle a little.
Although this will make the fish continue to run far away, it will definitely not be so easy.
The fishing line is slowly released round and round, and the fish will definitely not be stopped when it is too big.
After all, the pulling force of the fishing line has a limit. Even if Chu Mingcheng can really resist it, it is impossible to pull it hard in the face of such a big fish.
The fishing line was vibrating at a high frequency, making a constant "woo woo woo" sound.
Ten minutes passed, and the fishing line was pulled out more than 100 meters by the big fish at the bottom. Chu Mingcheng no longer knew the position of the fish, so he could only know the approximate direction based on the fishing line.
After a while, the fishing rod trembled again, and a force brought the fishing rod to a small swing from side to side.
Chu Mingcheng knew that the fish had started to wash its gills again, and wanted to push out the hook bit by bit through muscle swings.
How could he make the fish what he wanted, and immediately pulled upwards suddenly, and the fishing rod immediately bent into an inverted U shape under the action of force.
The hook in the fish's mouth was not repelled, but stuck deeper and more painful, making the fish frantically swim to distant waters again.
This strength comparison has just begun, and it hasn't weakened at all.
Chu Mingcheng knew that the outbreak period of the fish had not yet passed, so he moved and sat on the chair, holding the fishing rod and stepping on the pedals with both feet to borrow strength, and he felt much more relaxed.
I don't know how long it took, but the fishing rod that originally completed the big bow slowly rebounded a little, and the pulling force weakened a lot.
Chu Mingcheng knew that the first round of the fish's outburst was over, so he stood up, put the fishing rod on his stomach and began to exert strength, and now it was his turn.
Lifting the pole to take up the line, the action is silky and smooth.
Every time he cranked the handle to take up the line until it stopped turning, he would use his waist and abdomen to steadily lift the fishing rod to the top of his head.
While taking the opportunity to reel in the line, the angle of the fishing rod is slowly lowered until it reaches the level of the sea.
Repeatedly, the big fish that ran more than 300 meters couldn't resist at all, and was pulled closer little by little.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't entered the cabin for a long time. Jiang Luoluo, who had finished today's practice, came to the deck first.
When seeing his action, he immediately walked to his side: "Tuna?"
"Hmm, and it's still very big!" Chu Mingcheng took a deep breath and maintained his strength before replying, "Luo Luo, my eyes are sweating, please wipe them off for me!"
"Oh." Jiang Luoluo was still wearing dance clothes for dancing practice, and there was no tissue or handkerchief, so she immediately wiped him with her cuff, "Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"It's much better!" Chu Mingcheng blinked his eyes, although he was still a little sour, but at least it was better than when he couldn't open his eyes just now!
"Wait for me!" Jiang Luoluo saw that he was sweating so much and looked tired, so he hurried into the kitchen.
I took a bottle of water, and found the butcher shop, chocolate and other snacks, and wet wipes.
Then he returned to Chu Mingcheng, wiped his eyes with a wet towel, and then fed him some water and snacks to replenish his energy.
It’s almost ten o’clock in the evening, fishing for this big fish has consumed a lot of energy, and he really feels hungry.
Jiang Luoluo fed the snacks in a timely manner, which made his stomach feel better and his strength recovered a lot.
Another half an hour passed, and Chu Mingcheng finally pulled the fish to the surface.
At present, he has been pulled to the vicinity of the boat, and under the illumination of the light, he can occasionally see his huge figure swimming to the surface of the water.
Jiang Luoluo had finished feeding the snacks in his hands, so he said, "You should be here soon, why don't I go and prepare some supper for you?"
"Don't worry, you go to check the fish finder first. I found two tuna just now. I wonder if the other one has escaped?"
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look."
Jiang Luoluo ran to look at the fish finder, and Chu Mingcheng also pulled the fish to the side of the boat.
When he saw that the tuna in front of him was about two meters long, he knew that he might not be able to solve it with a hook.
At present, the unloading force of the drum has been locked, so he holds the fishing rod with his left hand, and pulls the end of the rod against his stomach.
With his right hand, he picked up the speargun that had been placed beside him, leaned out a little, and raised the speargun to aim.
It is only because of his great strength that he can do this, but for a normal person, another person needs to help to kill the tuna in the end.
Aiming at the tuna, he stabbed the whole speargun with a "swish~", and the speargun pierced the tuna's back all at once.
Although the back of the tuna is the edible part, the small wound from the speargun is fine. The meat will be removed when cutting, which does not affect its value.
But the back is not the key point, the tuna will not die in a short time.
Chu Mingcheng had to wait for it to lose too much blood and float to the surface before seeking a chance to pull it up.
Either take advantage of its injury and weaken its resistance, use a hook to hook it, and then you can directly pull it up from the small door like in the morning.
But now Jiang Luoluo came out of the cab: "Ah Cheng, the fish in the water are still there!"
Now that she is here, Chu Mingcheng doesn't need to be so troublesome.
"Lolo, you came just in time. Prepare the rope of the crane, and I will pull the fish to the side."
"okay!"
Jiang Luoluo understood what he was going to do, and immediately came to the crane, while Chu Mingcheng dragged the tuna to the side of the boat with a fishing rod.
Seeing that the fish was being pulled over, she used the noose on the crane to loop the tail of the tuna and tightened it, then started the crane and lifted the tuna up directly.
"Unfortunately, it is a bigeye tuna, if it is a bluefin tuna, it will be released tonight!" Chu Mingcheng looked at the fish he caught with some regret.
"You can be content with such a big tuna! And there should be another bigeye tuna of the same size at the bottom of the water, and the two together are no worse than ordinary bluefin." Jiang Luoluo patted the fat belly of the tuna, Smiling eyes crooked.
Bluefin tuna in the Pacific region, commonly known as Oriental bluefin tuna.
Currently, the same as the bigeye tuna, it is classified as vulnerable, so the number is not as small as expected, and the probability of encountering it is similar to the bigeye tuna.
What is really endangered is actually the bluefin tuna in the Atlantic Ocean, commonly known as the northern bluefin tuna, which is really rare.
But there are quite a few fish in the Atlantic Ocean, so what does it have to do with the ones in the Pacific Ocean?
Isn't this all the fault of the little days and the old ugly!
Many good products in the Atlantic Ocean have been caught to be endangered, and they are basically made by old ugly.
Now that there are cheats in Chuming City, there will be fewer and fewer old ugly fish in the future, and more and more domestic ones, making them envious.
