Following Hong Tao, Paul also put the same fishing rig into the sea. Philip and Cavell on both sides also put down their own lures, but they did not use this large aluminum alloy lure, but
They chose the commercial bait they used to use, with sponge balls tied on it. This was also Hong Tao’s opinion. He didn’t know whether this new bait would work or not, so he couldn’t pin all his hopes on it, so the four of them divided into
Create two groups and use different baits to increase the chance of catching fish.
Captain Babu is really not a stickman. His driving skills are absolutely top-notch. The fishing boat is almost moving in sync with the sardine school. When the fish school goes to the left, the fishing boat goes to the left. When the fish school goes to the right, the fishing boat goes to the right. It is also turning.
They always make big turns to prevent the fishing lines at the stern from getting entangled with each other. The four red floating balls always follow the stern more than 200 meters away, floating up and down with the waves, disappearing and appearing.
At this time, the Boomerang had also set the hook near the fish school. The two boats were about 300 meters apart. Moreover, they played quite well and never turned the rudder to the right, so that the two boats could have more space.
A safe distance. What Hong Tao admires even more is the way they control the depth of the lure. It is so creative and full of technology.
Instead of using floating balls, the fishermen on the Boomerang launched three large kites and directly used the power of the kites to pull the bait into the appropriate water. Hong Tao had seen this fishing method on TV in his previous life.
But it's not deep-sea trolling, but fishing on the beach. It's also a trick that the Australians came up with. Who would have thought that they would actually use it for trolling? This is the wisdom of a very idle person.
Wisdom is wisdom. After all, Hong Tao's fish scale water is not as effective. After following the group of sardines for 40 minutes, Yarbrough, the observer on the Manhattan, stood behind the flybridge and raised his telescope to sound the alarm. Paul's float had
movement!
"The floating ball is gone, it has dived..." After more than ten seconds, Yarbrough could no longer maintain his soft emphasis and yelled at the top of his lungs while pulling his neck.
"Hahahaha, we caught fish!" Paul was not idle either. He also set up a pergola and watched the floating ball in the distance. At first, the floating ball was shaking back and forth, flickering and appearing. He was not in a hurry to lift the rod. He was almost there.
While Yarbrough shouted, he also picked up the fishing rod and began to reel in the line at high speed. After only shaking it for a dozen times, he could no longer shake it. The thumb-thick trolling rod was directly pulled into a big curved bow.
, making a creaking sound from time to time.
"Philip, reel in the line! Cavell, reel in the line!" Seeing the subtle changes in Paul's fishing rod and fishing line, Hong Tao felt that this fish must be quite big, so he picked up his fishing rod and reeled in the line hard while shouting
With the other two people.
"Stop struggling, baby, come to daddy!" Paul's face turned red, but the fishing rod still didn't lift up, and the fishing line couldn't be pulled back at all.
"Paul, if you can't bring it close quickly, don't force it. Just release the line when it's time." Hong Tao looked at his watch. It had been almost a minute. The fish was still swimming left and right in the distance.
He had no intention of swimming this way, so he started to cool Paul down.
If you catch a large fish during trolling, there are generally two ways to deal with it. One is to reel in the line desperately and pull the fish to the side of the boat before it reacts, and then wait for it to come out of the water.
As soon as it shows up, hook it directly with a hook and pull it onto the boat from the tuna door. Just be careful to avoid the marlin's spear and don't let it stab anyone. Basically, it will be over after two minutes of tossing.
If this method fails, then you need to prepare for a protracted battle with it. Once the big fish realizes that something is wrong, it will immediately run away for its life. It is impossible to catch it just by the tension of the fishing line and the toughness of the fishing rod. At this time, not only
Make full use of the pressure relief device of the reel, and the captain must reverse the boat at the appropriate time to alleviate the impact of the big fish on the fishing line and fishing rod. Then slowly remove the big fish bit by bit.
When your energy is exhausted, pull it over again.
In this process, the most important thing to pay attention to is whether the pressure relief device of the reel is properly adjusted. The drum reel used by Paul can be adjusted to a maximum of 40 kg. As long as the fishing line is properly matched, the big fish will be equal to
Dragging a weight of more than 40 kilograms while swimming at high speed, no matter how powerful the fish is, it will tire and vomit blood over time.
"Okay, help me fasten the hook and seat belt, and let's fight it!" Paul also felt that a quick victory was unrealistic, so he opened the force release device on the reel and got on the fighting chair.
Be prepared to compete with the big fish for endurance.
"When it feels like it's getting boring, replace it. It's better to slow down and get it up. This is a good sign. Come on!" Hong Tao stepped forward and tied the seat belt of the fighting chair on Paul's belly, and then tied the seat belt on his belly.
Two hooks are hung on the reel, so that unless the big fish can break the fishing line, or pull the entire fighting chair off the track, it cannot escape, and it is also a protective measure for Paul
.
"OK, don't worry!" Paul tried to see if the front and back sliding of the fighting chair was smooth, and then started to repeat an action: kicking the legs - raising the pole - bending the legs - taking in the line.
"Paul, I'm going to reverse, don't let the fishing line loosen!" Barb sat on the seat facing the stern behind the flybridge, preparing to use the external control system installed there. That set of equipment is
It is used at this time so that the captain and fishermen can communicate face to face, which is more convenient for the captain to operate the fishing boat and cooperate with the fishermen to catch fish.
Paul and Barb cooperated very skillfully. After all, they had been fishing together for several years, and they knew each other's habits well. They knew what the other would do next without saying anything. The fishing boat was traveling at a speed of about 3 knots per hour.
Sailing backwards, Paul relies on the boat's assistance
, trying hard to keep the fishing line tight, no matter whether the big fish is running to the left or right, he will not let it have a chance to breathe. As soon as its swimming speed drops, Paul will speed up the line and pull the fish
The hook stimulates the big fish and makes it continue to run. It is definitely not allowed to rest and take a breath.
"Babu! Forward! Forward! It's coming to us!" Suddenly Paul's left hand began to shake the reel desperately, and he began to shout.
The fishing line suddenly felt slack. If Paul's retrieval speed alone could not keep up with the swimming speed of the fish, once the fishing line was completely relaxed, the fishhook would probably fall off the fish's mouth because the water in the sea
The mouths of many ferocious fishes have almost no meat, and it is difficult for the fishhook to completely penetrate their bones. They usually hang or get stuck in their mouths, and the fishing line must be tightened to keep the fishhook in shape.
At this time, you can see the capabilities of this fishing boat. Just when Paul's shout was issued, Babu on the flybridge also saw Paul's movements, and promptly shifted into forward gear and opened the throttle.
Pushing it up, the entire fishing boat suddenly stopped, then the bow raised high and rushed forward.
"You old bastard! You almost threw me to death!" The fishing line was pulled taut by the fishing boat, and Paul also loosened the pressure relief device a few gears when the fishing boat accelerated.
It can prevent the fishing line from being broken by the fishing boat.
But the other people on the boat didn't feel it well. Except for Paul and Barb who were sitting, everyone else was standing, especially Cavill, who was carrying him in the cabin. He was not prepared at all. He must have been shaken by the huge inertia.
He fell down, covered his head and got out, raised his head and yelled at the flying bridge.
"You asked for it. How many times have I told you not to lie down in the cabin while fishing, but you just don't listen. Next time you hit my cabinet and sofa with your head, I will make you pay for it."
I have a new set!" Without even looking down, Barb knew that Cavill had come out of the cabin. It seemed that this guy had been knocked down by inertia more than once.
"You old lunatic!" Although Cavell was still cursing, he didn't stop with his hands. He immediately found a seat belt to fix himself to the side of the ship. If he fell down in the cabin, he would probably break his head.
If you were thrown down on the deck, it would be even worse. You might suffer fractures or be thrown into the sea.
"Hong Tao, I have no strength, please help me!" After Paul's desperate shaking for dozens of seconds, his body has entered an anaerobic state. People like them who sit in the office all day, even if they like to go outdoors,
Even if you exercise, your body won't get any better. On the surface, it looks great, but in fact, it's all bad on the inside.
"Cavill, don't you want to give it a try?" Hong Tao felt that he might not be able to hold on for long, but Cavell happened to come out. How long can such a strong man wait until now?
"Of course, can I really give it a try? They said my skills are not good, what if a fish wanders away?" Cavell was still rubbing his head, but after hearing Hong Tao's words, he also lowered his hand.
A little eager to try.
"It doesn't matter, I'll watch for you from the side. This is very simple, as long as you have the strength." Hong Tao encouraged him again.
"I have a lot of strength. I can lift an old man like Babu with one hand and walk 100 meters without any problem!" Cavill's confidence doubled when he heard the word "Qi".
"Don't be busy yet. Your task is to keep the fishing line tight. If the fish tries to run away, just hold the fishing rod and stalemate it. If the fish wants to get closer, you can quickly reel in the line. The rest of the time you
Just use this chair to retract the thread bit by bit, and let's get started! I've already adjusted the release force." Hong Tao helped Cavill and Paul exchange positions, and then calmed down Cavill's excitement. This strong
It is unwise for Han to start a tug of war with the big fish when he comes up.
"This action is not tiring. When I was training with the rugby team, I had to push an iron frame and run on the grass. There were three coaches sitting on the iron frame. It was much more tiring than this!" Cavell slowly followed Hong Tao's instructions.
Slowly pedal, slide the fighting chair back and forth to reel in the line, and after a few clicks, he grins, indicating that it is easy.
