Chapter 44 Catching Albacore Tuna

Xueli has said so, Lu Xiaolu can't be cowardly, isn't it just a sea snake, just stay away.

There are quite a lot of crabs around here, Lu Xiaolu has already seen no fewer than four big blue crabs, and there are even more small red crabs, but unfortunately no one buys these things.

There are small miscellaneous fish in the ground cage and eel cage, just throw them down.

It is not suitable for gillnets here, the water is too shallow, so Shirley fished at the bow with a hand pole.

There are some mullets here, the size is not very good, anyway, I can't catch a few, I sell it if I can sell it, and if I can't sell it, I take it back to make soup for the old lady.

Lu Xiaolu took the opportunity to take out the controller and fiddled with it, and unexpectedly saw a scene that made his ass hurt. The sea snake hadn't left yet, but came back again, wandering around the ground cage, obviously interested in the small miscellaneous fish inside.

If it's okay to let it get in, he can't have this ground cage.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly controlled the crayfish killer, ready to drive it away.

This sea snake is also a stunned young man, it doesn't run away when it sees the lobster coming, it just bites when it comes up, it makes Lu Xiaolu donkey's teeth sour, and he is not afraid of breaking the fangs.

The sea snake froze for a moment, didn't understand what was going on, wrapped its body around the crayfish in disbelief, and took another bite at its butt, almost knocking its head out.

At this time, the drill bit in the crayfish's hand suddenly spun, bringing up large bubbles.

The sea snake was so frightened that it quickly let go of its body, turned around and ran away.

The sea snake is different from ordinary snakes, it swims straight, like a cucumber.

The crayfish chased it a long way, and after making sure that the sea snake would not come back, Lu Xiaolu was relieved.

When I came back, I saw two crabs getting into the crab pot and grabbing small fish to eat.

Nothing to do, Lu Xiaolu hastily turned off the high beams of Crayfish, otherwise it would be bad if Xueli found out.

"Shirley, put away the fishing rod, let's go gillnetting."

"okay."

It came so early, of course we can’t just put the ground cage, especially during the high tide, many fish will be brought up by the tide.

Xueli was still at the helm, and Lu Xiaolu was behind to control the crayfish, which was much faster than the boat.

Although there are high beams, the line of sight is still not comparable to that during the day.

After driving for more than two miles, the water depth here is not bad. Crayfish also saw a lot of fish, some of them big. He quickly called Xue Li to slow down the boat, and he released the net behind.

Now he has been able to play two nets easily, thinking about buying two more at dawn.

The waves at night are a bit big, and the hand pole is useless.

Xueli set up two string hooks, Lu Xiaolu played Luya, and the bait was palm-length sardines.

At the fourth throw, Lu Xiaolu was holding the rod in one hand and lighting a cigarette with the other, when suddenly a huge force came from his left hand, and the fishing rod came out of his hand.

The missing rope hung on his hand, causing him to stagger and almost being pulled into the sea.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly spit out the cigarette with a "pooh", took back the fishing rod, and made a lunge, with his right foot firmly stuck to the side of the main boat.

Xue Li had just caught a fish, before she had time to take a closer look, she heard the movement here and quickly put it down, and ran over to help.

The pole was so long, she had nowhere to start, so she was quick to think, and hugged Lu Xiaolu's waist, almost making him angry.

That fish is obviously not an idle person, its explosive power is very high, no matter how hard Lu Xiaolu tries, he can't turn the reel even an inch.

There was no other way, Lu Xiaolu could only let out the thread, tighten it again, and let it out again.

A wave was swimming around in the sea, the movement was scary, and the fins of the fish could be seen faintly.

In this way, half an hour later, Lu Xiaolu was exhausted and paralyzed, and the guy who was not inferior to GT fish finally floated to the surface of the water.

The searchlight was too bright, and the fish was all white when it shone on it. I couldn't see the specific shape, only that it was very big, almost one meter in length.

Slowly retracting the line, dragging the fish to the side of the boat, Lu Xiaolu picked up the dipping net and fished, only half of his body got in.

Fortunately, the fish didn't struggle anymore.

Xue Li took a closer look, looked up at Lu Xiaolu, and said blankly, "It's albacore tuna."

"What? Tuna?" Lu Xiaolu was also taken aback, lowering his head to examine carefully.

The fish in front of me is fat and fleshy at first glance. It has a long head and long fins, which is very iconic. I think it is an albacore tuna.

"How much is this per catty?"

"I don't know, let's bleed it quickly, or its blood will pollute the fish."

"Oh, how do you let it go?" Lu Xiaolu was dumbfounded, he had never handled this thing before.

Shirley spread her hands, saying that she would not know it either, and quickly took out her mobile phone to check.

"Smash it unconscious first, otherwise it will cause bruises if it jumps, don't smash it."

"oh oh."

Lu Xiaolu raised the bench and took a swipe at the tuna's head.

"Cutting off the tail, about the fifth last dorsal fin."

"Ok."

The only scissors used to cut the fishing line were not very easy to use. After many pricks, the wound was terrible.

"The veins behind the pectoral fins."

"Heart artery."

"Is there a water pipe, flush out the blood."

"No."

"Blow with your mouth."

"."

In this way, Xue Li took the mobile phone to direct, and Lu Xiaolu started, as if performing an operation, killing the tuna bit by bit, removing the gills and viscera.

After a full hour, he finally finished his work. Lu Xiaolu sat slumped on the boat with sweat all over his face, and it was already dawn.

As a result, Shirley said that his fish was not done properly, there were too many wounds, the blood was not drained, and there was no ice, the fish could not be sold at a high price.

There is no way, firstly, there are no tools, and secondly, there is no experience.

The two collected all the fishing nets, and went back to the mangrove forest to collect the ground cages.

Fortunately, although the tuna was useless, there were a lot of fish, most of which were mullet, perch, grouper, and a big snail was hung on it, which was alive.

There were three lobsters, which were not bad in size, and a turbot with many scars. Besides, there were several kinds of fish that Shirley didn't know.

There were about a dozen blue crabs, all around six or seven taels, and those little red crabs fell back, and it was useless to keep them.

The harvest of the eel cage was not very good, there were only three ones that weighed a pound, and a few octopuses got into one cage.

After all the fish were fished, it was dawn. The two of them didn't dare to delay. They cleaned the nets casually and drove back. The nearly one-meter-long tuna was particularly eye-catching.

While waiting for the traffic lights, many passers-by raised their heads to look.

At this time, there were not many people at the gate of the school, and the vendors who set up stalls only came in the afternoon.

As soon as Lu Xiaolu's tuna was put on the table, some passers-by came to watch.

"Hey, what kind of fish is this? It's so big."

"Brother, what kind of fish is this, how much is it per catty?"

Lu Xiaolu didn't know the exact price per catty, but only said that it was albacore tuna with a net weight of 45 catties.

He is an honest man. He clearly said that the fish has not been processed well and is not very fresh, but it is definitely edible, and they will bid.

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers exploded. Tuna, this thing is rare.

There are also cheap tuna, such as skipjack tuna, but such a big guy in front of you is definitely not cheap.

It's not fresh, it's only relatively speaking, it's not smelly and it's nothing.

If you don’t eat sashimi, it’s good to take it home and stew it.

A young man's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth: "I'll pay 300!"

"Are you kidding me? One kilogram of tuna costs three hundred." An uncle who just came over laughed.

"Isn't this not new?" The young man's face flushed red.
