ocean hunter

Chapter 486

In addition, there are some harvests, that is, cod, salmon, and two small bass, weighing three to five catties.

The dead fish must be dissected first and washed, so that they can be preserved.

Cut open, peel off the fish intestines, wash them with water, put them in a plastic bag, and put them on the side of the ice bin, so as not to be crushed by the tuna later.

The ones that are still alive are placed in the living water tank, together with the baits that were caught yesterday with rocky fishing rods.

It's funny, this line doesn't catch as many fish as they do with rocky rods.

But mosquito legs are also meat, and no one thinks that they have too much fish, whether they eat it for themselves, keep it for sale, or give it to friends.

Xue Li chopped the frozen bait, and Lu Xiaolu sailed the boat to look for fish. The sea was vast, at least there were no boats within a radius of dozens of nautical miles, and the sailing was very fun.

All the fish here belong to him, so he can catch whatever he wants.

The place in front is a large collection of seaweed, vertically downward, like a forest in the sea.

At a depth of 50 meters in the sea, large torpedo-like tunas shuttled mightily through the seaweed, and from time to time they turned out an unlucky crab or some kind of fish, and swallowed them in two or three bites.

Lu Xiaolu decided to stay right here, and sailed to the front of this large piece of seaweed.

And don't worry about the tuna biting the hook and digging into the seaweed, which can even be pulled up by gillnets, not to mention their high horsepower fishing lines.

After confirming that it was here, Lu Xiaolu stopped the boat and turned off the fire. This time there were no big fish or swordfish, so there was no need to troll the boat.

After choosing among the fishing rod bags, he took the pair of 400-kg fishing lines. The small ones were left alone and a fishing rod was used first.

Two sub-lines are hung up to increase the chance of catching fish.

The reason why I don’t use two fishing rods is because I’m afraid that the seaweed will be entangled, and if the line is not pulled up in time, there will be troubles at that time.

Xue Li had finished chopping up the frozen bait, put on her gloves, held a fork, and saw where Lu Xiaodonkey was hooked, and began to throw the bait chain.

The hook that was dropped vertically this time was right next to the boat, and Shirley used the bait to throw it from a distance, forming a chain until the place where he hooked.

Because the fish schools operate in a very large position, not a few meters wide, each tuna is separated by a distance of more than three meters, and they will fight for food as soon as they approach.

Therefore, at least three earrings should be thrown out and attracted here from three positions.

Lu Xiaolu went down just right, just above the seaweed, at a depth of about 30 meters.

Pieces of bait fell down. Because Lu Xiaolu didn't look at the controller, he didn't see an ugly guy about three meters long, silver-white all over, suddenly jumped out of the seaweed, and bit directly. A blackfin tuna caught on a hook.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly pulled it hard and realized something was wrong. Instead of running outside, this guy struggled desperately on the spot.

The place where the fishing line meets the water has been drawing circles, causing ripples.

Xue Li stood up and looked at the fishing line suspiciously: "Donkey Oppa, why doesn't it look like tuna?"

"I don't look like it either."

Lu Xiaolu said while vigorously turning the drum.

Not only is it not like tuna, he has been fishing for so long, and he has never encountered such a situation.

When the fishing line was loosened and tightened, there was a buzzing sound, as if the guy underneath had been shaking his head on the spot, and it wasn't very intense.

Although other fish had the same reaction after biting the hook, they didn't always do this all the time. They always flung while running, unlike this one which kept flinging in place. Lu Xiaolu didn't dare to pull too hard, so he could only temporarily stabilize the situation.

After a while, it didn't move, Lu Xiaolu still wondered, did he run away?

Turned the drum, no, he was still there, but he didn't struggle much, and the weight was still there. Lu Xiaolu thought that he might have caught a turtle, right?
But no matter what you catch, you still have to see it first, and if it is a turtle, you must release it.

Unlike on the surface of the water, such a heavy thing does not move on the bottom of the sea, it is still quite heavy, and it is not easy to pull.

Lu Xiaolu hurriedly called out: "Xue Li, come help, let's pull him up together."

"Okay, here I come."

The two of them turned the drum vigorously, and it felt like the water well in the past, twisting the bucket from the inside.

As soon as Xue Li came up to help, Lu Xiaolu's pressure was relieved a lot, but the drum was still spinning very slowly, and the slight vibration of the fishing line made people confused, it shouldn't be.

After 10 minutes, the guy was finally pulled up by Lu Xiaolu and Xueli.

Seeing that guy lying on the sea, both of them were a little dumbfounded, no wonder, it turned out to be this guy.

The oarfish, a creature at a depth of 200 meters to 1000 meters, looks very ugly, like an alien creature.

It is three meters long, almost half a meter from the back to the abdomen, and has some wounds on its body. It is already dead, just died.

Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li are not surprised either. Oarfish live in the deep sea, and now their eyeballs are protruding. It is because the air pressure inside the body is greater than the air pressure outside, so it swells to death.

It seems that this oarfish has already had wounds on its body. It may have been affected by the typhoon a few days ago. I don’t know how it got here and hid in the seaweed.

The oarfish has no edible value. The meat is gelatinous and not tasty. Although people buy it for the sake of freshness, it is not expensive, only more than ten yuan per catty.

Lu Xiaolu still wanted the fishhook, so he and Shirley had to pull it to the side of the boat.

The three-meter-long oarfish was still very shocking, so I simply hoisted it up with a crane. Anyway, it was dead, and there was no way to release it.

Lu Xiaolu discussed with Xue Li, and originally wanted to put it in the ice bin, but it took up too much space, and the value was not high.

Shirley rubbed her chin and suggested, "Or let's chop it up and use it as bait."

Lu Xiaolu nodded: "Yes, that's fine."

This fish takes up too much space, and despite its size, its body is relatively fragile, and its intestines may flow out after a while. It would be bad if the tuna was polluted by putting it in the ice bin.

Xue Li took the machete and began to disassemble the hairtail, and the big fish was about to burst out.

Xue Li chopped the hairtail into pieces with a few knives, and began to throw it up.

Lu Xiaolu fished out another blackfin tuna from the living water tank and hung it on the hook. The other sub-lines were all hung with small fish, it is impossible to hang all the tuna, that would be too prodigal.

Put the hook on the back of this blackfin tuna. Obviously, there is not enough space in the live water tank for them to breathe well, and it has no more strength to struggle.

Putting the hook on the side of the boat, Lu Xiaolu lowered the fishing line little by little.

The blackfin tuna felt that it had returned to the sea and wanted to run out, but because of a large hook and a lead pendant on its back, it moved slowly and could only sink diagonally.

"Crack!"
