American Ranch

Chapter 63 Bluefin Tuna

Traveling and wandering around all day is also very tiring.

Sleep late, go out and eat a pizza...

Today's weather is fine, Chen Mo walked to the marina, ready to rent a fishing boat, and saw Ellie handing out leaflets here.

"Ellie?" Chen Mo walked over with a smile and took a flyer.

It is a flyer for a green farm where watermelons, peaches and other fruits are on the market.

"Hi boss." Ellie bowed.

Sweet voice, Ellie always looks so energetic...

"Why don't you rest?"

"There are about [-] leaflets left, rest after handing out."

Chen Mo smiled: "How much is left, I will help you..."

"No, I can handle it by myself."

"I'll help you."

"Then... well, thank you boss." Ellie distributed a stack of leaflets to Chen Mo, and explained to him the skills of handing out leaflets.

Distributing leaflets by watching people is not handing out leaflets just by seeing people.

Different leaflets go to different people.For example, leaflets about green farms cannot be distributed to young people, at least middle-aged people, people with a leisurely pace are best...or people who are going to sea.

"Okay, got it. You post it elsewhere, and I'll stay at the yacht club."

There are not many people in the morning.

The two didn't finish distributing the leaflets until after ten o'clock. Ellie said thank you again and asked Chen Mo to drink Coke.

"How much money do you make by distributing leaflets? Keep it for yourself." Chen Mo patted her on the head: "I'll buy you a Coke."

"Hehe... Thank you, boss."

Seeing Ellie's happy look, Chen Mo was also happy, and felt that she liked this girl more and more.I have the urge to accept her as my younger sister...

Chen Mo went to the fast food restaurant and bought two Cokes and a hamburger: "Hey, I'm going to go fishing. If you're okay, go fishing with me."

Ellie nodded with a smile: "Okay."

The club provides yacht rental, sailing boats, small yachts, fishing boats, etc., large and small, with prices ranging from more than a hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars.

Chen Mo rented a luxury fishing boat, about 11 meters long, with a cabin kitchen.

This is a fishing boat that can run out of the Bay Area. It should be returned before six o’clock in the afternoon. The rental fee is 700 US dollars, plus fuel costs, insurance and fish tickets, etc., the total is not more than 800 US dollars.It's still very expensive... Ellie next to her twitched her face.

Fish ticket, that is, a fishing license.

"Spend eight hundred dollars to go fishing, and you can buy a carful of fish." Ellie helped Chen Mo pack the anchor, and complained.

"The picture is just for fun."

"Hi, Ellie." A bearded man from the club brought the free lunch provided by the charter ship, seeing Ellie wondering on this face: "Why are you on the ship?"

"Uncle Stephen." Allie shouted, "This is my boss, Mr. Chen Mo. Let's go fishing together."

"Oh?" The bearded man looked at Chen Mo carefully: "Mr. Chen Mo, your lunch."

"Thanks. Do you know Ellie?"

"Many of us here know Ellie." The bearded man smiled.

Chen Mo took the lunch box, smiled, and looked at Ellie: "Have all the strands of rope been put away?"

"It's put away, we can go." Ellie reported.

"Then... ready to send out."

The bearded man got off the boat awkwardly, and told Ellie, "Be careful and put on a life jacket."

"Okay." Ellie waved goodbye to Stephen.

After leaving the pier, Chen Mo turned around and drove towards the Golden Gate Bridge...

"Boss, are you going to leave the harbor for deep-sea fishing?"

"Of course. The water in the San Francisco Bay Area is not clean. It has been said on the Internet that most of the fish here are not edible. Go fishing in Drakes Bay from the Golden Gate Bridge."

"It's so far away, I knew I should be wearing a bikini." Ellie looked at Chen Mo and smiled like a slut.

About 30 nautical miles, at the speed of fishing boats, about an hour away.

The fastest speed of this fishing boat is 33 knots, which is very fast.

The sun is very good today, but when I go out to the bay, I still feel the waves shaking the boat obviously.

The main reason is that this ship is too bad. If it is a luxury yacht of the same level, the feeling should be much better.

Chen Mo brought his own sunglasses, and when he went out to the bay, he felt like he was letting himself go. The fuel rod was fully pulled, and the boat moved forward at full speed.

Ellie rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the cabin, and found a pair of sunglasses from nowhere, and put on a red life jacket...

"You haven't gone fishing before?" Ellie, who was wearing a life jacket, sat next to Chen Mo and looked at him seriously.

"No, it's the first time out."

Ellie pursed her lips: "You dared to run so far for the first time. You are so brave. Turn right and try to stay within 1000 meters from the coastline."

"Why?"

"Reefs. This ship doesn't have radar, so it's bad if it hits a reef." Ellie pointed to the Boney Point Lighthouse past the Golden Gate Bridge: "There are a lot of reefs over there, and you can't see them when the tide is high. When the tide is low, you can't see them." Stand out. Be careful and stay safe."

"Good captain."

After passing the lighthouse, the sea gradually calmed down.

Chen Mo slowed down the speed of the boat, took out his fishing tackle and cast bait into the sea...

Two sea fishing rods are tools that can catch big guys, specially equipped with heavy-duty tuna hooks...

"Can you sail?"

"No, I can fish and watch the rod for you."

"OK."

There was no movement for more than ten minutes, and Ellie reminded Chen Mo to change the ship's route from time to time.

In the past, Ellie and her parents often went fishing, and if they wanted to catch big fish, they had to go through the fishway...

Where is the fishway, besides asking local fishermen for advice, is to see where there are seagulls.

Where there are many seagulls, there must be fish below.

After another half an hour, the fishing boat continued to go deep into the sea, and arrived at the destination in ten minutes, without biting the hook.

The fishing boat was swaying, and Ellie was about to fall asleep guarding the fishing rod, when she suddenly heard the sound of the fishing line sliding, she woke up with a jerk and quickly grabbed the fishing rod...

Ellie's faint cry, and the sound of something falling into the water.

This fishing boat is really not good, Ma Da's voice was too loud, Chen Mo turned his head instinctively.There was only one fishing rod, Ellie's girl was gone, and Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat...

"Ellie..."

The little girl fell into the sea. Fortunately, she was wearing a lifejacket and was struggling in the sea, but her hands were still tightly grasping the fishing rod.

Chen Mo quickly slowed down, turned around, turned off the engine at Ellie's place, and dropped the life buoy.

Ellie is also a dead-headed person, holding the fishing rod tightly but not letting go. Chen Mo pulled her to the side of the boat and handed over the fishing rod first: "One, one bluefin tuna... Pull it up quickly." Ellie shouted excitedly Dao, like taking drugs.

"See clearly." Chen Mo didn't bother to care about the blue fin or the long fin, and stretched out his hand to pull Ellie up, and then began to retract the fishing line.

"Bluefin tuna, a very big bluefin tuna." Ellie was incoherent with excitement: "Come on."

Chen Mo was a little angry, reached out and knocked her on the head: "Is that why you jumped into the sea?"

"I was pulled down." Ellie quickly put away the other fishing rod, her face full of excitement and nervousness.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and began to fight the big fish.

This fish is huge...

Chen Mo reeled in and released the line. The fish jumped out of the water once. It was definitely a tuna, but as for whether it was a bluefin tuna, I don’t know.

There are a lot of albacore tuna here, bluefin tuna... only in summer and autumn, it is great luck to catch it.

Chen Mo pulled the fishing rod back and forth: "It takes too much effort to catch this fish."

"Come on, this bluefin tuna probably weighs more than 200 pounds, and it's very valuable." Ellie was more nervous and excited than Chen Mo.

"Your clothes, don't you feel uncomfortable when wet?" Chen Mo took off his coat: "Go back to the cabin and take a shower. There is a dryer for underwear and underwear, so take your clothes to dry... I don't know how long it will take to catch this fish .”

Ellie blushed, took Chen Mo's clothes, and ran into the cabin with an 'oh' sound.

Chen Mo smiled and began to concentrate on fighting the tuna.

Tuna is not a gentle fish. Once it struggles, its strength is not easy to talk about.

What's even more unfortunate is that when Chen Mo came out, he was not planning to meet large bluefin tuna, but was planning to catch albacore tuna.The fishing rod is good, and the hook is also good, but the fishing line cannot withstand the struggle of such a big guy...

The weight of the fishing line is relatively light, and it may break at any time during the process of walking the fish.

Keep retracting and releasing and dare not use brute force.

Chen Mo has never had the experience of fishing big fish at sea, and he only caught big fish in reservoirs in his hometown before.The biggest one was over [-] kilograms, which is already a very big guy. This time the fish may have weighed [-] kilograms. As time passed, Chen Mo gradually became nervous...
