Chapter 76 Hammerhead Shark

Breakfast was a teriyaki chicken leg bento given by Sekiseki Kenjiro, and two poached eggs fried by Shirley.

To be honest, the chicken drumsticks grilled with mirin are too bland, whether it is sweet or not, salty or not.

But Lu Xiaolu is not a picky eater, he used to drink porridge without even pickles, so such things as wasting food would never happen to him.

Even if it is not to your liking, a box of lunch can be eaten clean.

Seeing him finish the last bit of poached eggs, Xue Li smiled, and fattening Lu Xiaolu seemed to be her pleasure.

Although still a little thin, it is much better than when I first started school.

After simply tidying up the kitchen together, the two came to the deck to start working.

Shirley pointed at the fishing rod in surprise: "Little donkey Oppa, the fish is here!"

Lu Xiaolu was lighting a cigarette with his head down, the wind was too strong and he couldn't light it, he waved his hands and said, "It's just a small fish, don't worry about it."

"No! Big fish! The fishing rod is almost broken!" Shirley ran over and began to set out the line.

Lu Xiaolu was startled, isn't it the bonito?

He hurriedly put the cigarette and lighter into his pocket, helped Shirley up, waited for the speed of the drum to slow down a little, grabbed it and began to collect it.

The big fish is very smart, and will go back and spit out the hook if it senses that no one is pulling it.

Lu Xiaolu's pull made the big fish below start wrestling with him again.

It seemed that this guy in the water had just bit the hook and was still in good spirits, so Lu Xiaolu almost couldn't hold him back.

It shouldn't be. Although the skipjack just now was not big, it was still [-] centimeters long.

And this bonito was different from the live bait he hung.

The live bait is hung from the stomach, and fish big and small can eat it.

This bonito is a hook for its own bite. If it is caught by other fish, it usually bites from the body of the fish and bites it into two knots.

Unless the big fish had a very big mouth and swallowed the whole bonito in one bite, or the bonito was gnawed into two knots, and the fish head was targeted again.

Forget it, no matter so much, let's talk about it first.

Lu Xiaolu was still the main attacker, and Xue Li was the second. When the big fish got tired, he would switch hands with him and let him rest for a while.

The two took turns to fight, and after a stalemate of back and forth for three or ten minutes, the guy in the water finally surfaced.

Seeing that guy's appearance, Lu Xiaolu and Xue Li were dumbfounded.

Hammerhead shark, also known as hammerhead shark.

This thing looks weird, its head is like a hammer, and it is still horizontal.

This hammerhead shark is about 1.5 meters long, comparable to those tunas, and it is estimated to weigh 150 kilograms.

It was this kind of ferocious fish that was able to chew up that piece of bonito without even letting go of its head, so that it was caught by Lu Xiaolu.

"If it wasn't for the lack of a fishing license, I would have made you into shark's fin!" Lu Xiaolu said resentfully, and cut the fishing line reluctantly.

Don't look at this guy's strange appearance, even a little cute, but his temperament is extremely fierce, and even has a case of assault, which is even worse than the great white shark, Lu Xiaolu dare not provoke him.

Not counting the bait, but just the hook, fishing line, and lead pendant, he lost 50 yuan in one fell swoop, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Do you want to change places?" Shirley took out a box and asked while holding a fishhook out.

Sharks also like to appear in groups to hunt and prey. Now that one is caught, it means there will be more below.

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages, because the foraging places that sharks can look at indicate that there are abundant resources below, and other large predators can also look at them, such as tuna.

The downside is that catching a shark means line cutting and a lot of bait casting.

Thread cutting is okay, it costs only a few dozen yuan, and fishermen will carry dozens of sets of hooks when they go out to sea.

But frozen bait is expensive, and it is thrown down in boxes.

It would be troublesome if thousands of dollars were thrown down and all of them were fed to the sharks.

When encountering sharks, it can be said that risks and opportunities coexist, depending on whether you have the ability to accurately locate the tuna.

Sharks and tuna will also deliberately keep a distance from each other to prevent fights, and no one will be able to please.

Or after feeding the sharks, let them leave by themselves, that would be a loss in units of tens of thousands, and no one would do that.

"You tie the hook first, I'll go and see."

"Hmm." Xueli has no doubts about Lu Xiaolu's amazing fish-finding skills, otherwise she wouldn't be rewarded every time she goes to sea, and she can just leave everything to him.

Lu Xiaolu controlled the crayfish to circle the bottom of the sea, and found that all the bait chains he cast before had been eaten up, and several sharks were wandering in front of the left side of the boat, including gray sharks, hammerhead sharks, and small white sharks.

In addition, there was a giant ray flapping its wings, slowly passing by, and several sharks quickly dodged, this guy is not easy to mess with.

Those tuna ran too far, Lu Xiaolu only found them half a mile away from here.

Maybe they were also annoyed by this group of sea rogues, so they simply changed their feeding place and came here out of sight.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaolu took out the crab cages and eel cages that hadn't been used for a long time, took out a bucket of green fish, disemboweled them, threw them in, tied them with foam, and threw them into the sea.

The seabed resources here are very good. Those lobsters, crabs and so on are all hidden in the coral reefs, just waiting to come out to look for food at night.

As for the group of sharks, Lu Xiaolu is not worried at all, their mouths are not that big, no matter how strong their teeth are, they can't bite, don't worry.

Although the resource of tuna is also good, but if the fish bites the hook, it is not troublesome enough to get the cage up to prevent entanglement, so it is better to put it here and come back to pick it up when you leave.

"Shirley, the location is marked for you, let's go there."

"Ah."

Xueli tied the hook and walked into the cockpit. The Golden Swordfish roared, the anchor was pulled up, and it headed towards the direction marked by Lu Xiaolu.

Restarting the engine consumes a lot of fuel, so generally fishing boats will not move the boat easily after they have selected a place to anchor.

The Golden Sailfish may change locations four or five times a day, which in the eyes of other captains is a duress.

After driving for about 5 minutes, Shirley stopped the boat firmly, right on top of the tuna.

Lu Xiaolu nodded in satisfaction, this saves a lot of bait.

After putting down the two fishing rods, Shirley was in charge of chopping the fish, and he threw them down without deliberately forming a bait chain. When the half bucket of fish went down, one of the fishing rods was bent at [-] degrees, "creaking" The sound is startling.

The two had already reached a tacit understanding, and Shirley dragged the other fishing rod to the stern of the boat while reeling in the line.

Lu Xiaolu immediately grasped the drum and turned it sharply to ensure that the hook could be firmly nailed into the tuna's mouth without falling off.
