Although the last 100 meters was very strenuous, thanks to the new force of Anaya, the progress was much smoother. When the big fish in the water was pulled up to the shallow water, it broke out again. On the starboard side, dozens of
Meters away in the water, a big wave suddenly rolled up, and a black object could be vaguely seen in the waves. It was rolling around on the bottom of the water for a while, and then jumped to the surface again, splashing large splashes with its tail.
Whenever the big fish gets angry, Hong Tao will loosen the force release device a little to offset the explosive power of the big fish. After it calms down, he will retract the line bit by bit. By this time, the sky is already bright, and Hong Tao
I looked at my watch and saw that it was 10 minutes to 5 o'clock. More than 2 hours had passed since I caught the fish. The big fish was still in the water dozens of meters away. It was estimated that it would take half a day to pull it to the side of the boat.
hour to about 1 hour.
Just when the sky was getting brighter, the big fish finally failed to fight against the vicious human beings, and was pulled bit by bit into the shallow water a few meters away from the boat. At this time, it had no way to save it. The water depth here was only
Less than 2 meters, it is too shallow for its size and cannot use all its energy, not to mention that it has little energy now.
"Get in the speedboat and we pull it to the shore. It's too big to lift up!" Anaya saw the problem first. Although the fish in the water still didn't show up, judging from the shadows under the water,
This fish should preferably be 3 meters long, and its head is wider than a deck chair. Without equipment such as a fishing net, it will be difficult to get it from the water to the deck.
In the end, the big fish was pulled onto a shoal less than half a meter deep. At this time, it had no choice at all. Its entire back was exposed to the water, and its belly had sunk into the river beach. It could neither move forward nor retreat.
At this time, the whole picture of the big fish was finally revealed!
It was really big, almost as long as the speedboat. It was so big that Hong Tao and others hesitated for a long time before they dared to row the speedboat next to it for a closer look.
Different from the three medium-sized Satan duckbills caught before, this fish is obviously much wider. Especially the first third of the body is almost like a large round table, and the mouth is half of the round table. Although
It wasn't completely opened, but Hong Tao made a visual inspection and found that someone with his body type could still barely fit it in. A fat man's cloth shouldn't be able to get in, at least the belly part. It seems that fat people also have the benefits of being fat.
In addition to its large mouth, its lips are covered with tiny teeth arranged in rows and layers. If it bites you, there is no chance of escape unless you can take off a layer of flesh.
Because the fish was too big to weigh, Hong Tao and the others could only simply measure its body length and chest circumference on the speedboat. Its length from head to tail was 329 cm, and its chest circumference was 230 cm. Ananya estimated its weight.
It should be over 350 pounds.
"It won't bite, right?" Hong Tao was unwilling to take pictures with this once-in-a-lifetime big fish on the boat. He wanted to stand in the water, but he was afraid that the big fish would suddenly attack.
"Probably not, but pay attention to its tail. If it suddenly struggles, its tail is more dangerous than its mouth and can break your arm." Anaya did not stop Hong Tao from entering the water, but just warned him not to do it.
Near the back of the fish.
"Come on, it's quite honest." Hong Tao was the boldest. He jumped into the knee-deep water, slowly walked up to the big fish, reached out and patted its forehead. Seeing that it didn't respond, he grabbed its left side again.
As for the longest beard, the root of this beard is as thick as a shovel handle. It may be that the front part of the beard has been broken off due to too much tossing under the water just now.
Seeing that Hong Tao was fine, Fatty Bu and Sturgeon also jumped into the water, got together with the big catfish, and asked Ananya to shoot a video.
"Why is this guy motionless? Isn't he going to die?" No matter how much Hong Tao and the other three people were around, the fish never responded. If it weren't for the fact that its big mouth was still opening and closing, you would have thought it was a dead fish.
fish.
"It is too tired, and it needs to be in the rapids to breathe normally. Now it is in a state of hypoxia." Anaya still knows the living habits of this fish relatively well.
"Then let's drag it back. It has grown so big and it would be unjust to die in our hands. Come on, give me a hand and push it in." Hong Tao and the other three briefly discussed it and decided to release it.
The best thing is that this big fish is the essence of heaven and earth. It would be a pity to kill it. It is better to let it continue to live in this magical water and bring joy to other fishermen.
"Brother, you should be more active!" Hong Tao and the others spent a long time trying, but the big fish didn't move at all. We didn't dare to pull its tail. Just pushing the slippery head was useless.
In the end, Anaya had another idea. He found a thick cable and made a noose, and then used a paddle to help put it on the tail of the big fish. Then he tied the cable to the bow of the speedboat, started the speedboat's engine, and drove the boat backwards.
The big fish was pulled into the deep water. Hong Tao and Fatty Bu found a branch as thick as an arm and threaded it under the mouth of the big fish. They lifted it up hard and finally dragged it away from the shallows. At least they got rid of it.
Stranded state.
When the water depth reached more than 1 meter, Ananya untied the rope, then sailed back to pick up Hong Tao and Fatty Bu. Everyone watched its reaction more than ten meters away from the big fish.
The big fish floated on the water for several minutes, and finally started to shake its body. It might have been a little tired and confused at first, and swam straight towards the shallow water, but when its beard touched the bottom of the water, it seemed to understand
He swam in the wrong direction, so he made a sharp turn, flicked his big tail, and his whole body sank into the water. He drew a black shadow under the water like a fish near the speedboat and disappeared.
The big fish left, and Hong Tao and his friends also lost their spirits. Tired, hungry, sleepy, headaches, buttocks, all these problems came back. After returning to the boat, they ate a few slices of sandwiches, and everyone was not in a hurry to return home.
Instead, they all climbed into the hammocks and began to sleep. Ananya also followed them and spent the whole night. Driving while fatigued was not necessary. Now that the wish had been fulfilled, it didn't matter whether he went back early or late.
It was already afternoon when we returned to the Big River Hotel. Two consecutive days of night fishing not only exhausted Hong Tao and the other three fishermen, but even Anaya, the guide, was exhausted. So Hong Tao and the other three did not continue fishing.
They were asked to continue fishing the next day, but chose to rest for a day or two and think carefully about what else there was to do.
In fact, if we just talk about fishing, there are many kinds of fish here that we have never caught, but many fish have specific living areas and are distributed in different tributaries of the Amazon Basin. If we just rely on the small boat Anaya, even if we fish every time
Even if they can catch the target fish, I'm afraid they will have to stay here for half a year. Hong Tao and the others don't have the time, nor the financial strength, and what's more lacking is the adaptability to life in such a tropical area.
Since the second day of night fishing, some small red spots have appeared on the bodies of the three people. At first, there were not many, only a few on their arms. But after returning to the hotel, these small red spots became more and more numerous, all over their limbs.
They all appear on the back and back, and many of them are connected into pieces. It’s very itchy but I don’t dare to scratch it hard.
At first, Hong Tao and the others quietly endured it by themselves and applied some of the medicine they brought. However, after one day, not only did they not feel better, but they also had a tendency to spread. As a last resort, Hong Tao and the other three had to find Ananya and want to ask him.
What is this? Is it caused by poisoning caused by insect bites here, or is it a skin disease caused by the climate?
"This is eczema! Many people who come here will suffer from this kind of skin disease. You can soak in the black water if you have nothing to do. It can relieve the condition. However, I don't have suitable medicine here. If the condition cannot be controlled,
I can only go to Manaus to see a doctor, but I love Manaus
Sri Lanka’s hospitals are not very confident, and they don’t have any specific medicines there. Generally, tourists who get this disease either leave here when their condition is not serious, or go to big cities for treatment.” Ananya
The origin of those little red dots was immediately recognizable.
"Oh, I thought it was poisoning. This thing will be fine if you tolerate it for two days, right?" Sturgeon immediately felt relieved after hearing Ananya's explanation. After all, he had heard of eczema, so it was better than not knowing anything about it.
I feel much more at ease with my illness.
"It's hard to say. If it gets too powerful, your skin will rot. I suggest you go to Manaus to have a look. If necessary, go to a big city." Anaya was not as optimistic as Sturgeon, and she didn't deliberately hide this.
illness.
"After listening to people's advice, let's go to Manaus to see a doctor. It's better to be careful in a place like this." Hong Tao's condition was the mildest. He only had a small red spot on his upper arm, but he still wanted to go to the hospital.
Take a look, if it’s confirmed to be eczema, don’t worry. After all, Anaya is not a doctor.
At noon that day, Anaya drove the boat with Hong Tao and the other three people and headed downstream to Manaus. I don't know whether it was because they were feeling heavy or because those little red dots were uncomfortable, but the three of them were not in the mood to talk about fishing anymore.
The ship had just been sailing for less than 2 hours. Hong Tao, who was lying on the second deck basking in the sun, suddenly felt that the boat was turning, as if it was about to turn around. He climbed up from the deck and looked around. Sure enough, the boat was heading towards
Turning left, it seems that you are going to meet a slightly larger two-story small boat on the opposite side.
"Hey, get up, put on your clothes, someone is coming!" Hong Tao shouted to Fatty Bu and Sturgeon. At this time, the two had stripped down to their underwear and were lying on the bench for sunbathing.
It was Fatty Bu who came up with the idea. He said that eczema is caused by being too humid, so spending more time in the sun can disinfect and cure diseases. Hong Tao is not a doctor, so he thinks what Fatty Bu said makes sense, so as soon as the three of them got on the boat, they
They all ran to the second deck to sunbathe naked.
