"Come, have a cigarette and take a break." Hong Tao took out a box of cigarettes and handed them over.
"It's okay. I'm not tired. I'll tie up the fish first. You won't bring a fish guard, but that's fine. If you put such a big fish in a fish guard, it will be dead in less than half a day." The middle-aged man did not pick up the cigarette.
Instead, he took a rope from the side, threaded it skillfully into the fish's mouth, then passed it through the gills, entered the gills on the other side, and finally passed out from the fish's mouth and tied it with a live buckle.
This is called a "bridle" in fishing terminology. This method can tie a big fish in the water so that it cannot escape, and it will not harm the fish. It is much safer than putting it in a fish guard. However, tying a halter is also a skill, and many
If the rope is tied incorrectly or backwards, the rope will often be broken by the teeth in the fish's throat or the hard cover of the fish's gills.
"It's hard work, this night must be quite tiring." After the middle-aged man finished tying the fish and washed his hands, Hong Tao handed him the cigarette and lit it for him again.
"Hey, it's okay. With your beeping thing, I can worry less at night. I stared at it on the recliner for most of the night. It's quite comfortable. If I fish like this, I won't be tired from fishing for a month."
The middle-aged man is quite happy, and it doesn't look like he hasn't slept all night.
"If you are willing, you can come tonight. We are all fishing, so I won't say anything about money. I will buy you a fish float from Boss Guo for 5 days. Just take it as a sign. Do you think so?"
"Hong Tao feels that this middle-aged man is quite reliable and plans to get to know him first. If there is an opportunity in the future, he may need his help.
"That's not appropriate. Guo Zi told me that he was just helping me, and he didn't mention the reward. I just like fishing and nothing else." The middle-aged man's face was a little unnatural. Hong Tao's words were originally normal, but it made this down-and-out man
It sounds a bit bitter.
"Don't worry, there's nothing inappropriate. Anyway, I've already bought the fish float. If you don't come, it will be all for nothing, Boss Guo. Besides, if you don't help me look after this pile of things, I will have to clean them up every night and come in the morning."
You have to go through it again, you
This is to help me get hurt, isn't it? Come on, let's not be so polite. We are all gentlemen. My surname is Hong. Hong Tao, this person's surname is Wang, Wang Jian. Even if we know each other today, what is your surname?" Hong Tao tried his best.
Find euphemistic words and don’t touch the scars of middle-aged people.
"My surname is Qu, Qu Yongjun. It's getting late today and I have to send my children to school. I'll come back in the evening." The middle-aged man threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Okay, if you don't have anything to do, come over. I'll be here these days. Let's ask Boss Guo to have a drink together at noon to make it fun." Hong Tao didn't force him to stay.
"Your life is so good. I haven't made this call yet, and a fish has been caught here. But you can't count it. This fish was caught by someone else, not yours." Wang Jian was shocked when he saw Hong Tao here.
After catching three fish, he became more motivated and ran to the same spot as yesterday with his fishing box in hand and started making a nest.
"Don't think about this hot pot meal. If you want to eat it, just wrap your fingers with pancakes and bite yourself." Hong Tao put a piece of bean cake on the three sea poles that had fish on them, and threw them out in order.
"You can't say for sure. When the uncle catches a decent fish, and he's happy, I can treat you to it." Wang Jian's eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. While throwing bait to the fishing spot, he squinted at the fish tied in the water.
three fishes.
"Didi-di-di...di-di-di..." Hong Tao had just driven in the three poles, and before the alarm was hung up, the fishing rod on the far right started nodding its head, and the alarm also sounded.
.
"Hahahaha, here we come! I'm smiling proudly...smiling proudly." Hong Tao didn't even have to run away, he turned around and picked up the pole, tightened the fishing line, and felt the power coming from the fishing rod.
,well, reliable!
"No, I have to check later to see if there is anything else mixed in that bait of yours. We agreed not to use your special-effect bait within three days. Didn't you cheat?" Wang Jian
I really couldn't find an excuse and began to doubt Hong Tao's character.
"Have a rest, why don't you use my bean cakes to make a nest? Am I the kind of person who cheats?" Hong Tao didn't have time to listen to the cries of the crickets and didn't even look back.
This fish is much bigger than the one just now. Judging from the way it swims sideways in the water, 90% of it is also a carp. Maybe it is one of the two sets of carp caught in the previous life. Hong Tao suppressed his heart
I was so excited that I raised my fishing rod and walked to the right in the direction of the fish swimming.
The big fish swam dozens of meters in the water. It got a little impatient. It flicked its head and swam to the left again. But at this time, it had no choice. On the left were Hong Tao's other sea poles. They couldn't let it go no matter what.
It swims back, and once the fishing line gets tangled up, not only does the fish have to run away, but the fishing line also has to be cut off.
"You'd better come back here!" Hong Tao reached out to the front of the fishing wheel with his left hand, tightened the brake a little more, then shook the fishing wheel a few times and tightened the fishing rod.
The big fish was pulled by the fishing line and wanted to rush hard, but the fishhook stung it again, so it hurriedly chose to escape to the south. There is no limit to this direction, even if it can swim to the other side.
It's only 250 meters at most, and there's a 300-meter fishing line wrapped around the fishing boat, enough for it to swim to the other side, then climb ashore and run 50 meters, if it has the ability to urinate!
The big fish in the water rushed not far away with a few kilograms of pulling force, and then got tired. Hong Tao was not going to let it rest, so he shook the fishing line with a pole whistle. The fish under the water was stung by the hook and sprinted again.
...
It didn’t take long, just a few trips back and forth, and the big carp obediently raised its white flag. Not only did it lose the energy to run around, but its body even floated to the surface of the water. When Hong Tao saw it, he thought, he caught a tall fat man, no wonder he had physical strength.
It's so bad. It turns out that it has a big belly due to eating, and its waistline has almost caught up with its height. Being able to sprint a few times like this shows that its physical fitness is pretty good. If a tall fat man is hung on a hook, he probably can't even make a round trip.
Can't run.
"Is this a female fish? Look at that belly!" Wang Jian came over and saw the big fish's belly, and couldn't help but express his opinion.
"Brother Gao has a big belly. Do you mean that he is pregnant? I will call him soon and tell him that you are ruining him behind his back." Hong Tao refuted Wang Jian's empiricism with righteous words, who
Does it mean a big belly is female?
Facts have proved that Hong Tao was right. This fish was really not a female fish, but a male carp. How did Hong Tao know? In two words, experience. In his previous life, he had also caught a big carp of this size. Just now
At first I thought it was a female fish, but when I took a closer look, I saw it was an old man!
If you want to ask how to tell whether a carp is male or female, it is actually very simple. You can roughly tell them apart in the water. The male fish has a wider forehead and a wider space between the two nostrils, while the female fish is just the opposite. If you want to confirm, you have to fish it ashore.
Come and touch it, first touch the gill cover of the fish. If there are small rough particles on it, it is a male fish, and if there are not, it is a female fish.
Of course, the most accurate thing is to look at the primary sexual characteristics of fish. Just like people, even those ladyboys in Thailand can see it accurately just by pulling off their pants. The same goes for fish. The male fish has a
The genital pore is very flat, tight, and white; while the female fish's genital pore is slightly convex and reddish in color.
"It's so big, look at that belly, it's full of seeds!"
"Hey, I must have made a mistake. This big guy is a seasoned fisherman. Yesterday he said he didn't know how to fish. What do you think? Just accept it. He's much better than us."
"Hong Tao, you can't catch all the fish in our pond, you'll have to pay extra!"
Before the fish was taken out of the fishing net, a large group of people gathered near the fishing position to watch the fun. Among them were the old men and women who got up early to exercise, as well as the red-faced man and the man with glasses from yesterday. Finally, even Boss Guo came over to watch.
Seeing the big fish's mouth bleeding from the fishhook, he grinned and inhaled.
"Don't worry, I'll keep them here first, and then release them all after the show is over. I won't even eat anything for free. This broken water will pollute it." Hong Tao brought a towel, covered the fish's head, then held it down and began to remove the hook.
"Yes, you'd better not eat it. Who said the water is polluted? This is still considered polluted?" Boss Guo was unhappy and pointed at the water in the lake to let the spectators comment. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,
