MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 284 huge school of fish
Chapter 284 Super large school of fish
So many yellowfin tuna, I really want to surround myself with a net!
Chu Mingcheng sighed in his heart, and continued to follow with the drone in his hand.
This time he followed for about one kilometer, and he found that the sea surface was blackened in a large area, and the area was no smaller than tens of thousands of dolphins and tunas, which indicated that there was a huge school of fish at the bottom of the water.
The dolphins are coming, and the school of fish has not attracted large cetaceans, so it is still calm.
Chu Mingcheng took this opportunity to lower the drone to the surface of the sea to observe what kind of fish school is below.
Through the many jumping fish he recognized these as blueband males.
This kind of fish is as big as an adult's finger, but there are a lot of them, filling the stomachs of many sea creatures.
Its growth cycle is short and its reproduction speed is fast. In addition to the growth of Chuming City's external cheats, it completely guarantees that other predatory fish will have sufficient food sources.
After confirming the destination of the dolphins and tuna, he immediately operated the drone to come back.
After the drone flew back, Chu Mingcheng turned off the drone, took it into the kitchen and put it aside, and called Chen Yang again.
"Ayang, I found a large school of yellowfin tuna looking for food about three kilometers to the southeast of the boat. Go to the wheelhouse and catch up with my boat later."
Chen Yang was taken aback when he heard the words: "Fuck, how did you find it so far away? You don't have any diving cheats, so you can look for fish in the water, right?"
"I have a drone, are you stupid?"
"Uh, I'll be right now!"
Hung up the phone, Chu Mingcheng shook his head and smiled: "If you can guess my cheat, it will be amazing!"
Then he quickly took some western-style bread, prepared a large glass of milk and came to the cab.
Start the Poseidon, the engine warmed up for a while and immediately drove towards the fish school.
When sailing, eat the bread by the way, and drink a large glass of milk for lunch.
The White Dragon also followed up, and there were two people over there who were indeed more convenient than him in some respects.
It doesn't take much time to reach the three kilometers at the speed of the boat.
Zhang Wei and Chen Yang watched the dolphins and tuna preying in the cab, dumbfounded.
"Do you want hunting or fishing? I suggest you go fishing today, so that you are familiar with the feeling of tuna fishing. After all, electric reels are not allowed in fishing competitions."
"When the time comes, the fish will be unhooked due to fishing technology problems, and I will feel sorry for you."
"By the way, you can catch some small fish like this in the water as bait. At present, there should be no bait that can compare with it."
Chu Mingcheng suggested while holding the walkie-talkie in the cab.
It is not time for them to think about how much money they will make, but they have to get used to the feeling of tuna fishing first. It would be best if they can get a place in the fishing competition.
But Chu Mingcheng just thought about it this way. I believe that there will be many powerful people participating in the fishing competition, and it may be difficult for them to break through.
At least the old fishermen who often go out to sea have experience in finding fish that they can’t compare with, not even himself.
Chen Yang expressed his understanding, and then he and Zhang Wei went to prepare immediately.
Chu Mingcheng was not idle either, and went to change into a diving suit, with a video camera on his head, and a wooden speargun in his hand.
Obviously, today is a rare opportunity for him, and he hasn’t encountered so many tuna for a long time, so he can have a good time today.
Compared with other tuna, yellowfin tuna reproduces very fast.
Tuna spawns a lot each time, no matter which one is the same.
But the growth rate of yellowfin tuna is much faster than others, and it can grow to two hundred catties in three years. This is also the main reason for fishing tuna, at most yellowfin, and other tunas are indeed inferior in quantity.
With the support of his plug-in, the yellowfin tuna in domestic waters is estimated to be difficult to be caught and extinct.
With all the equipment on, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water without any worries about encountering sharks.
In the fishing grounds of the East China Sea, the probability of encountering large sharks is very low nowadays, and it is generally impossible to encounter them.
There are too many fishing boats, and there is no living environment for large sharks here.
Secondly, even if there are ferocious sharks such as adult great white sharks or tiger sharks and blue sharks, but there are tens of thousands of dolphins here today, what kind of sharks dare to come here!
As soon as he entered the water, Chu Mingcheng was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the surface of the water, you can only see a piece of blackness. The surprise is nothing more than all kinds of predators blasting the water, but the water is a luxurious feast of predation.
Countless dolphins do not fight alone.
Every time they prey, they will rush into the school of fish like sharp arrows under the leadership of the leader, like the cavalry charging in ancient times.
And this school of yellowfin tuna also has its own way of fighting. They will not attack the fish school, but just wander around the periphery.
When the fish school is attacked by dolphins, they will naturally disperse, and this is their opportunity.
Not only that, but a group of lesser rays also came to join in the fun.
This is less of a comparison of dolphins and tunas. In fact, there are hundreds of them. The big ones can be as big as a double bed, and the small ones are like a small washbasin.
Under the leadership of the leader, they whizzed past like a plane. The speed seemed slow, but they could clear out a school of fish each time.
But despite the abundance of predators, in Chuming City in the water, you can’t see the edge of the school of blue-striped male fish at all, densely packed by hundreds of millions.
He himself is currently in a school of yellowfin tuna, surrounded by tuna, all moving manes.
After taking a picture of the underwater scene, Chu Mingcheng came out of the water to take a breath, loaded the speargun and prepared to hunt.
Recently, he doesn’t take many pictures while fishing, and most of the time he just forgets. If Jiang Luoluo didn’t specially remind him the day before yesterday, he probably would have to forget again today.
But also because of the filming, the fishing and hunting activities in Chuming City are relatively standardized.
Especially time, you can't stay underwater for too long.
Holding up the spear gun and scanning back and forth, Chu Mingcheng quickly selected a yellowfin tuna with a fat belly.
Fishing and fattening, there is no choice for fishing, it is different from fishing and hunting.
This tuna is looking for food and swimming very fast.
These seventy to eighty catties of tuna are only a little over one meter long, and they swim quite flexibly.
Fortunately, they are limited to the range of fish schools, so Chu Mingcheng doesn't need to chase them.
Once he was close to the tuna, he began to aim.
Tuna will take a bite from time to time on the edge of the fish school, and turn back every time it takes a bite. Although the speed is fast, there are traces to follow.
When the fat yellowfin tuna rushed towards the school of fish again, Chu Mingcheng shot at the school of fish in front of it.
The fish arrow breaks through the sea water and launches instantly, and then you can see that fat yellowfin tuna delivered to the door by itself, or with its head.
The prediction was accurate this time, the tuna was shot in the head, and immediately struggled violently, the waters were stained red with blood.
The blue-striped male and tuna next to it were all frightened, and the originally dense school of fish suddenly dispersed, which made it easier for Chu Mingcheng to pull the yellowfin tuna.
Holding the fishing line with both hands, he swung his feet and swam towards the surface.
As soon as he exposed his head, he heard Zhang Wei's voice on the White Dragon next to him: "Ah Cheng, did you catch the fish?"
At this moment, he is picking up fish in the water with a dipping net. Of course, what he is copying is not tuna, but blue-striped male.
The fish school is too dense, and every time you catch a net, you can catch a lot. After you catch more, you will not be short of bait.
On the other side, Chen Yang is tying the line group. After finishing, he can catch tuna.
"It must be a hit, how efficient am I!" Chu Mingcheng replied, his hands kept moving.
This yellowfin tuna was fat, but it weighed only a hundred catties at most. After being shot in the head, it struggled for a while and then fell silent, dying very quickly.
So he can easily pull the tuna to the surface and swim towards the boat.
"Old man, let's have a tuna feast tonight!" Zhang Wei has already seen the tuna he pulled up, and his stocky little body was immediately aroused.
"Okay, then you have to work hard later, try to catch as fat as possible."
"Damn it, are you a rich man willing to let me, a part-time worker, fish?"
"You don't work for me. Do you know how to eat fish? Do you know **** fish?"
"How dare you ask me!"
After shouting a few words, Chu Mingcheng had already boarded the boat.
He stood at the stairs, grabbed the tuna by its tail and dragged it up.
Tuna fish skin is thick, not afraid of friction, but of bumps and impacts.
"I need someone to kill the fish!" Chu Mingcheng looked at the fish helplessly. There are so many tuna in the water, and he doesn't know when they will leave, so it is very important to hurry up.
If the tuna is not bled immediately, the blood will soon affect the quality of the fish.
So Chu Mingcheng had to pick up the fish killing knife, cut off the fish's artery, then cut off the fish's tail with two knives, put the water pipe into the fish's mouth to block the artery, and flush the blood out from the tail.
But after putting the water pipe in, he didn’t care about it. He quickly disemboweled him, took out the internal organs, put down the fish-killing knife, and jumped into the water with the internal organs to continue fishing and hunting.
Chu Mingcheng who entered the water directly threw away the internal organs of the fish, and then saw a group of tuna come forward to bite the internal organs, spit them out, and fight back and forth.
The tuna on the boat was being washed by the water hose, bloodletting may not be as fast as holding the water pipe with his hands, but he must hurry up now.
The speargun was loaded, and soon he selected another fat fish.
At least tens of thousands of tuna, there are too many fish to choose from.
First watched the fish’s trajectory twice, and then predicted again after understanding it, and successfully hit the tuna.
It's just that the hit was on the back of the fish this time. Although it was close to the head of the fish, it was not a fatal injury.
The tuna resisted quite fiercely, and the strength it swam could carry Chu Mingcheng with it.
Even if it only weighs seventy or eighty catties, it still cannot be underestimated.
Chu Mingcheng didn't want to let it pull to consume his physical strength, and the next moment he grabbed the fishing line with both hands to exert strength, and at the same time swam towards the surface of the water.
When he showed his head, Zhang Wei, who had already started fishing, shouted again: "You caught a fish again, why don't you buy it?"
Chu Mingcheng extended a friendly gesture to him, but did not answer, shouting and talking was too tiring.
He grabbed the fishing line and pulled the tuna back little by little.
The tuna is very strong, but the pulling force of the fishing line is enough, and the barb of the fish arrow is stuck, so he is not afraid of the fish running away at all, it is nothing more than the wound will expand.
But for the sake of efficiency, he can only sacrifice this.
After about five or six minutes, the tuna was pulled back. Chu Mingcheng hugged the tuna, picked up the diving knife and stabbed it twice in the head.
The mouth of the tuna was opened even wider.
After finishing the tuna, Chu Mingcheng immediately swam back with it in his arms. After arriving on the boat, the tuna in front was still slowly bleeding, and most of the water in the pipe was wasted.
Fortunately, the water on the boat was free, so he stepped forward to block the artery again with a hose.
The blood in the tuna immediately flowed out in large quantities again, but it was obvious that the blood was almost the same when he was fishing and hunting, and it was washed away after a short while.
So he first picked up the fish and put it in the refrigerated compartment.
The moment he walked into the refrigerated compartment, Chu Mingcheng shivered, it was so cold!
The main body is covered with seawater, and the temperature loss after entering the refrigerated cabin is so severe that even he can't bear it.
After putting away the tuna, he ran out quickly and began to process the second fish.
It is also handled in the same way as the previous one. During the bloodletting stage, he still entered the water with the internal organs and speargun to hunt the third one.
The current time has only passed 20 minutes. If the speed is fast, you can hunt six in an hour. This speed is much faster than fishing.
That is to say, normal people are too restricted in the sea. If it is like on land, creatures will undoubtedly be harmed faster.
Perhaps the smell of blood attracted the attention of other creatures. After Chu Mingcheng went into the water again, he was surprised to find several dolphins approaching.
Maybe he was full and had nothing to do. They all surrounded Chuming City one after another, which caused all the tuna around the bottom of the boat to stay away, making him need to swim farther to hunt.
He was a little helpless, because of the existence of cheating affinity, the dolphins all moved to his side.
Chu Mingcheng reached out to touch the dolphin, then swung his legs to hunt the next tuna, but he didn't have time to play with the dolphin here.
The dolphins didn't know what he was going to do, and followed him curiously, which caused the tuna school to scatter again.
Although they are not afraid of dolphins, they don't seem to like to be in close contact with dolphins.
This also made it impossible for Chu Mingcheng to get close to the tuna, which brought some trouble to hunting.
He had no choice but to speed up his swimming, held up the speargun before the dolphins came over, and immediately pressed the trigger after getting close to a tuna.
Tuna has a large body, and when swimming normally, there is basically one shot within ten meters.
This time the hit was a little above the pectoral fin, so the tuna didn't die as quickly.
However, seeing the tuna struggling, a dolphin following behind suddenly accelerated to swim over and hit the tuna hard with its long beak.
The struggling tuna immediately turned up its belly, and obviously the injury was more severe this time.
Chu Mingcheng didn't even have time to stop him, so all he could think about was shit.
Watching the dolphin push the tuna in front of him, he was visibly speechless.
‘Thank you so much! '
This tuna that was hit had no problem on the surface, but in fact all the muscles where it was hit were shattered.
That is to say, this fish can no longer be sold, so it can only be eaten by itself.
Zhang Wei just said that there will be a fish feast tonight, but there is really a suitable ingredient for this meeting.
Chu Mingcheng reluctantly took the fish back and lifted the fish to the boat.
Looking back at the dolphin that came up to the head, it opened its mouth to help with the tuna just now, making a unique dolphin sound, and it seemed to be smiling.
Chu Mingcheng looked at Zhang Wei, saw that he didn't pay attention to this side, so he squatted down and whispered to the dolphin: "Go back to your own group, I don't need your help here, but thank you anyway."
The dolphin was just playing with him, but he really didn't have time.
The dolphin could understand his words, so after accepting his thanks, he nodded his head on the water surface twice, and then took his tribe back.
The dolphins left here, and tuna reappeared in the originally empty waters.
Following the previous method, he processed the tuna that could only be eaten at night. He didn't waste any time and went into the water again.
When Chu Mingcheng pulled the fourth fish onto the boat, Zhang Wei was still trying to reel in the line.
As for Chen Yang, he fished on the other side of the boat to avoid tangential situations.
But with the density of tuna, he should have caught the fish too.
Such a bountiful harvest made the busy Chu Mingcheng feel that time passed very quickly.
Today is a cloudy day. If he hadn't taken the time to look at his watch, he wouldn't have known it was past three o'clock in the afternoon.
At present, he has hunted 21 yellowfin tuna, and the refrigerated compartment is covered with a piece.
If the school of fish stays for another two hours, he will definitely be able to fill the refrigerated compartment.
There is still a third of the place where fish can be placed. If there are many fish in the future, these seventy to eighty catties of tuna can be stacked directly.
Twenty-one yellowfin tunas, with a total weight of more than 1,600 catties.
It seemed like a lot, but it was actually worth about 60,000 yuan. Judging from the harvest of Chuming City's previous trip to the sea, it was only a fraction, so he didn't feel any excitement at all.
Bringing out the tuna that had been struck by the dolphins, he went to the warehouse to take out the rubber boat, pumped it up, and brought the fish to the White Dragon.
Although 50,000 to 60,000 fish is average to Chu Mingcheng, the harvest today is still far more than Zhang Wei and Chen Yang, so he will invite the fish feast tonight.
"How was your harvest?" Chu Mingcheng moved the fish and the rubber boat to the boat, and then asked.
"It's okay, I caught four." Chen Yang said after filling himself with half a bottle of mineral water on the other side.
Four tunas were caught with drums, so it was not so easy to catch them.
However, he didn't see Chu Mingcheng's record, so he was quite satisfied with what he had gained.
Zhang Wei was also very tired: "I caught five fish, and the two of us combined are not half of yours, right?"
"No half? Acheng, how many calls have you made?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.
"It's okay, twenty-one, compared to the tuna fish at the bottom, it's just a drop in the bucket." Chu Mingcheng waved his hands and said casually.
Chen Yang's mouth twitched, speechless.
And he can hunt so many tuna without fishing for himself.
The speed of fishing and hunting is fast, but it requires much more physical strength than fishing, and it is also difficult to get a lot of tuna.
Chu Mingcheng didn't notice his expression either, he was walking towards the cabin.
"Clean up quickly and move the table out, it's not hot today, we're eating outside."
Zhang Wei and Chen Yang promised to help out with what they could.
Chu Mingcheng came to the kitchen and cooked some rice, lest he would be hungry at night just eating fish.
Then open the fridge and get ready to see what goodies are inside.
When he saw several mangoes that were bigger than his palm, he took out two with satisfaction.
Then opened the freezer section, only to find several boxes of top-quality snowflake beef.
These beef slices are very thin, obviously for brushing hot pot.
But the way of eating is not limited to brushing meat, so he decisively took out three boxes.
Other scattered people also took some, and then came to the deck with the ingredients they found.
Chen Yang has already moved the table out, and there is an induction cooker and a carbon stove on it.
The plug of the induction cooker is plugged into the socket, and it is connected to the wall switch used to charge the electric winch under the side of the ship.
"You know how to find it. You have found all the good things in our refrigerator." Zhang Wei smiled when he saw the ingredients he put on the table, "Do you need these things for the fish feast?"
"Of course, just eat tuna sashimi, what's so delicious." Chu Mingcheng picked up the fish killing knife and began to slice the yellowfin tuna he brought.
Chop off the fish head and remove the fins, and then divide the fish into three parts directly along the fish bone.
He is not interested in touching fish bones and fish heads, so let Chen Yang and the others handle them by themselves in the future.
As for the fish, Chu Mingcheng opened the place where the dolphin hit, and found that the fish at this place was indeed smashed, so this piece was directly cut off.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei asked curiously: "What's the matter with this piece, it feels like the fish is all crumbled?"
"A dolphin came to help me when I was fishing and hunting, and I was bumped." Chu Mingcheng explained, and then put the remaining fish meat on the table.
Zhang Wei was a little surprised when he heard the dolphins were helping, but today there are tens of thousands of dolphins, and it's normal for one to be mischievous occasionally, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Chu Mingcheng cut off a large piece of fish from the belly, belly and back.
Hand over the rest to Chen Yang, let him wrap it up and keep it.
"Aren't you saving some to take back?" Chen Yang asked.
"I don't need it, just try the sashimi. I don't eat it as often as you do." Chu Mingcheng shook his head and refused, then thought of something, and said, "How much beef did you buy, why don't you give me some later?"
"I bought three boxes, and most of them were put in the refrigerated compartment. You will carry one away later." Chen Yang said generously.
"I bought so much, it's good." Chu Mingcheng nodded in satisfaction, he still prefers brushing beef to sashimi.
Especially these are the top snowflake beef, which is not prepared on his own boat.
But this time it also reminded him that he must be more prepared next time he goes to sea.
The refrigerator can’t fit, and there is such a big refrigerated compartment, so I’m not afraid to buy too much.
The next dinner is very simple. Arrange the tuna slices on a plate, then fry the beef slices in a pan, wrap the tuna meat after frying, and dip it in a dip, which is more satisfying than simply eating sashimi.
After dinner, it was completely dark, and Chu Mingcheng returned to his boat with a box of beef.
Find a suitable water area to attract tuna with fish lure lights, and prepare for night fishing.
