1586. Harvesting tuna
After working full-time, I was alone. I went out for a walk recently. I was really frustrated. I was almost troubled. So I was worried that the update might not be stable. I specifically told you that I hope my brothers and sisters can understand it!
Qin Shiou said: "No problem, I have a black tuna school here. They did not commit crimes alone. If this one ran away, there must be other fish following behind and fuck them!"
Upon hearing this, Cole smiled and asked, "Really? You have a group of black tuna here? Hurry up, get down the group and catch them!"
Fishing bluefin tuna is the most valuable thing in fishing activities. People like Cole may be tired of eating tuna, but he has never caught adult bluefin tuna by himself. At most, he thinks about it every time he goes out to sea.
Qin Shiou can satisfy his wish. The tuna in the fishing ground, not only bluefin tuna or yellowfin tuna, whether it is big-eyed tuna or bonito, has grown into a population, and fishing has no effect at all.
Even this autumn is when the tuna catch season comes, he plans to lay the net in the fishing ground and catch a bluefin tuna school. Anyway, the number is very large.
Sprinkle fishing lines, and fishing rods are inserted into the guardrails on the deck and the ship's side. The hook is hung with live herring, which is one of the favorite foods of bluefin tuna.
The sun gradually rises, and the bright sunlight shines on the sea surface. The sea water in the fishing ground is clear, the waves are rolling, and it is crystal clear like crystal. From time to time, a column of water sprays up in the distance, which is the whale breathing on the water surface.
Qin Shiou waited for the bluefin tuna to take the bait and enjoyed the sea view. After seeing the V-shaped water column, he gave Cole guidance and said, "That's a group of Arctic right whales. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Cole looked at the water with all concentration, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's wait for the tuna first, to be honest, man. I haven't caught this fish with my own hands."
Qin Shiou shrugged, released the consciousness of the sea god and looked down. There was indeed a bluefin tuna school passing by around him. What he said just now was half true and half false. In fact, there was more than one tuna school in the fishing ground, but there was usually a big fish leading the team, followed by other fish, so when you met the leading fish, it meant you encountered a tuna school.
Bird brought a box of frozen herring. Qin Shiou put on gloves and went up to cut the fish with him and threw it into the water, attracting the fish to get close to the boat.
The first thing that felt the deliciousness of herring was not the bluefin tuna, but the seagulls. When they started throwing herring section into the water, the seagulls flapped their wings, made crisp chirping sounds, and flew over to compete for the fallen fish section.
These seagulls were not the silver gulls before. The group of silver gulls was driven to St. Johns and tossed the city for several days. Later, the city government had to allow residents to hunt silver gulls, which scared them away.
There are more than twenty seagulls flying in, the small ones are only short in length and have not plump wings. They fly crookedly and sometimes when they surge, they can't avoid them and will be knocked into the water by the waves.
However, seagulls will not drown. Their feathers are oily and can stabilize their bodies and fly again after falling into the water.
Bird took out his gun and wanted to drive these little robbers away. Qin Shiou saw that most of the seagulls were birds in the group, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them get some cheaper."
As the fish segments were sprinkled into the water, the bluefin tuna were finally attracted. After easily preying on some fish segments, they looked at herrings swimming with the fishing lines.
The seagulls helped, and they would keep thrusting into the sea water. Every time they drilled in and floated to the surface, it would cause water flow, which affected the visibility underwater, making it difficult for bluefin tunas to spot fishing lines in the sea water.
Every tuna can live to adulthood. It is tempered by hook fishing line. They are very smart and will escape if they find the line - this is what Qin Shiou observed with the consciousness of the sea god. In the past, he heard people say that fish have only a few seconds of memory, but after this discovery, he scoffed at the so-called science.
Finally, when the seagulls were almost full, a fishing line suddenly tightened, and then the wheel seat rotated, and the flexible first half of the fishing rod was pulled into a crescent moon.
"Quick!" Qin Shiou deliberately slowed down half a step, asked Cole to grab the fishing rod, and then went over to help pull it.
This tuna looks three meters long and is not big. The top bluefin tuna in the fishing ground is five meters long. Even if it is not on auction, it is worth millions.
Fishing bluefin tuna is full of skills. You should not be impatient when fighting with this fish. You should be exhausted slowly. You should be patient and physically strong. More importantly, you should have experience.
Cole had no experience and didn't know when to put the fishing line and when to retract the fishing line, Qin Shiou guided him next to him. Every time he made a mistake, he would quickly help him, so that the bluefin tuna never escaped.
Nelson was in charge of the rudder in the cab. Qin Shiou kept shouting, asking him to change the direction: "Go forward, speed is ten points!" "Ok, stop, wait a while!" "Change, turn around, direction is ten o'clock, speed is six points..."
Cole was unaware of the sternness, and while grinning, he said, "You are such an expert, Qin, I have a premonition that this big guy underwater can't escape today."
He said this too much. If the sea god consciousness had not created undercurrents underwater to consume the physical strength of the bluefin tuna, it would have escaped.
The energy of the Sea God improves not only the meat quality of the bluefin tuna, but also their strength, explosive power and endurance are excellent, and ordinary anglers cannot handle them.
Even so, it took more than 40 minutes to drag the fish to the water.
Qin Shiou asked Kerr to pay attention to tightness. He took the harpoon from Bird's hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, guy, drag it back, I'm going to give it a fatal blow!"
Kerr nervously recycled the fishing line. When the fish was dragged to more than ten meters away from the Seagull, Qin Shiou took a deep breath, and his arm muscles bulged and swung out the harpoon.
A "whoosh" sounded, and the harpoon accurately shot the fish's neck. The triangular fork disappeared directly, leaving the harpoon's long handle trembling at high frequency.
"It's so cool!" Cole excitedly reached out to high-five to celebrate.
Later, I slowly dragged the fish over, and then used a rope cover to help the fish's meniscus tail. The motor turned and caught it. Only then did the catching process end.
Cole first went over and hugged the fish and took a few photos, then called Qin Shiou over to take a photo together.
After taking hundreds of photos in a row, Cole posed in various positions like a child, and did not stop until he came out of breath.
After he finished taking the photo, Bird went up and cut off the gills with a saber, took off his internal organs and started bleeding.
Qin Shiou poured Cole a glass of ice wine, and the two of them hit the cup and shouted "congratulations" together.
The dishes at noon came out like this. Qin Shiou took some fish skin and fish meat and made a few dishes for Kerr, grilled fish fillets, mixed fish skin, fresh fish fillets, grilled fish, fried fish, simple but exquisite. (To be continued.)
