Hong Tao believed that Cavill was telling the truth and that there was no bragging. Just look at the muscles on his arms and back and shoulders, and Hong Tao knew that he could bear it. The fishing rod was held in Paul's hand and
In Cavill's hand, it looks like it's not the same thing at all visually. Paul is holding the fishing rod.
At that time, the fishing rod seemed very thick, and it always felt like it was falling out of my hand. But as soon as Cavell's big hand grasped it, the fishing rod turned into a pointer, and it was raised as soon as it was raised, without any effort at all.
Hong Tao often had to remind Cavell not to use too much force to avoid breaking the fishing rod.
"Yellow day, so long wave y lure can take place, got paper sive got pay..." Cavell was so happy with his fishing that he started to sing a song while pulling the fishing rod freely.
"What is he singing about? There is also a Yellow River in America?" Hong Tao didn't quite understand what Cavell was singing. He didn't have an accent, but his pronunciation was very unclear when he sang.
"This is a song from his hometown. He is a South Dakotan. God knows the river where they live is yellow." Paul was obviously not very interested in Cavill's voice.
If you are not convinced, trolling is a physical job. If you don’t have a strong body, no matter how good your technique is, it will be useless. The big fish that took Paul down in 20 minutes has never been able to do it again since he was replaced by Cavill.
Nothing happened, and it only took less than 30 minutes for Cavill to pull him back bit by bit. Moreover, Cavill only had a little sweat on his forehead, and he could still drink beer with one hand.
It’s so easy to grab the pole with just one hand!
"It doesn't seem to be a marlin, right? I didn't see its long mouth, Babu, did you see it clearly?" When the fish was pulled less than 100 meters away from the fishing boat, it finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
. One end jumped up from the water, then flipped and fell back. Because the movement was too fast, Hong Tao did not see clearly what kind of fish it was.
"It's a big golden gun. It weighs almost 200 pounds. We have points!" At this time, Babu no longer had to adjust the speed of the fishing boat too frequently. He was holding a telescope and observing the position of the big fish from a high position.
.
"Oh! There are points! There are points!" Almost everyone on the boat shouted, as if they had won the championship.
"Didn't you even earn points in competitions before?" Hong Tao lost interest when he heard it was not a marlin. Tuna is not the main target fish of the competition, and the points are twice as low as marlin. Each tuna weighs more than 150 pounds.
Or swordfish can only get 100 points, while marlin over 300 pounds can get 200 points each.
"Sometimes we can earn points, but not many times. Today is the first day for us. We are lucky. If we can get points every day, we should have a passable result. In this way, Hatteras Company
I'm embarrassed to disband this fishing team. After all, Babu still has
I'm a director of the company." Paul was also very satisfied with this achievement. Their requirements were really not high. They didn't think about the championship at all. They didn't have any extravagant expectations for the top three, and they didn't think about the heaviest single target. They just wanted to get a middle ground.
Their biggest wish is not to continue to be at the bottom of the list.
"How many years must I have been abused before I can have such a peaceful mind!" Only then did Hong Tao finally understand what kind of fishing team he had joined. Except for himself and Cavell, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
In other words, Paul is probably the only one who really knows how to fish. The others are all bastards.
"Babu, are the fish schools still around?" Hong Tao had lost interest in this fish. He planned to continue chasing the group of sardines to see if he could meet something bigger.
"They are still more than 500 meters ahead of us to the left. I have been following them. They are not swimming fast." Babu returned to the flybridge and took a look at the fish finder.
"Then let's drive the fishing boat over first. This fish can't escape. We have to get a good position before other fishing boats come over." Hong Tao ignored Cavell and the others. At this time, the fish
The tuna was already more than ten meters behind the fishing boat. The big man Philip was holding the hook and preparing to put the fishhook on the boat. Paul also put on cut-resistant gloves to help Cavell pull the fishing line.
"Okay, no problem, how do you know other fishing boats are coming?" Just as Babu was about to return to the flybridge, he suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully.
"Oh God! Don't you read the rules of the competition? If you find a school of fish, you must report it to the organizing committee and other contestants. Haven't you informed them yet?" Hong Tao was really convinced. Even he, who was participating in the competition for the first time, knew this.
Babu actually doesn't know the rules.
"Is there still this rule? Yarborough, do you know?" Babu didn't quite believe Hong Tao, so he turned to ask another person on the flying bridge.
"There should be such a thing. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it." Bald Yarbrough didn't seem to participate in fishing activities. He always stood on the flybridge to watch the fun, but his memory was very good, and he could remember every boat.
The participating boats have all been called by name, and their nationalities can still be remembered. It is a humanoid computer.
"Then I'll go and report first. Have we reported before?" Babu was reluctant and asked Yarbrough again.
"..." Yarborough didn't say anything this time, just shrugged and shook his head.
"Alas... I was tricked by Paul again. Is this a fishing team? You are wearing the skin of a professional player for nothing. You are not even worthy of being an amateur!" Hong Tao really had no choice with these people.
At this time, he thought of the old fisherman who was in the same boat with him on Lake Okeechobee. He was actually an amateur. How could this be reasonable?
"Hong Tao, there is no need for us to report. The Boomerang has already reported and they are also catching tuna." After a few minutes, Babu's head poked out from the flying bridge again and reported the situation to Hong Tao below.
.
"It looks like this is a tuna school. Alas, tuna is just tuna. It's better than nothing." Hong Tao looked out to the port side. Sure enough, there was only one big kite pulled by the Boomerang in the distance.
That's right, it's probably time to catch fish.
The big fish was finally pulled up, and after weighing it weighed 223 pounds. Babu couldn't catch the fish, but he could see the fish quite accurately. After some cleaning, the big tuna was stuffed into the fish hold under the rear deck, and everyone put it in again.
Four artificial baits were thrown into the sea water, and the fishing boat dragged four red floating balls and continued to circle around the fish school.
On the first day of the competition, Hong Tao's fishing team caught a total of three tuna weighing more than 150 pounds, and all the remaining tuna that were not heavy enough were released. This is the rule of the competition. I don't know if it is because they are not familiar with this sea area, or because they are not familiar with this sea area.
Didn't even catch up
Among the 31 participating teams, only 2 teams caught marlin that met the weight. The other fishing teams were either tuna or whiteboard. There were also 3 fishing teams that had problems with their fishing boats and had to
Returned to the pier early.
Generally speaking, Hong Tao's results on the first day were pretty good, ranking 12th. If Philip and his friends were more proficient in fishing skills, their results could be improved a bit. This is because they couldn't feel the identity of the fish they were hooked on.
No matter what the weight and size of the fish are, all the fish, big or small, have to be pulled back to the boat to have a clear look before they can determine whether to release them, which consumes a lot of time.
Both Hong Tao and Paul can roughly feel the size of the hooked fish. If they feel it is not heavy enough, they will directly reel in the line at full speed, regardless of whether the hook or line will break. If it breaks, they will replace it with a spare reel and the hook will break.
Even better, you can start fishing again by changing to a fishing group, which can save a lot of time.
In fact, there are only a few hours of fishing on this day's competition. We set off at 7:30 in the morning and returned at 4:30 in the afternoon. About 4 hours of traveling time are deducted, plus searching for fish schools and transferring.
If you go there, you can spend 4 or 5 hours fishing.
At this time, the speed advantage of the fishing boat was also reflected. Hong Tao also understood why Bartles Company wanted to make the fishing boat so powerful and the speed of the fishing boat so high. Compared with those with a maximum speed of only 30
Hong Tao and the other three teams using Hatteras fishing boats took advantage of the multi-knot fishing boats. After going back and forth, they were able to fish for at least an hour longer than the other teams.
"Cheers! Our results today are very good. The first team is only ranked 8th, and we are 12th. If we have good luck tomorrow, we may be able to enter the top 10. In this case, that damn company manager
There is no reason to stop sponsoring our fishing team. For this we would like to thank Hong
Mr. Tao, his high-tech lures are indeed very effective. During the peak period when we catch fish, three fishing rods will catch fish at the same time. I have only heard of such a situation. Today is an eye-opener! Here’s to our Chinese boy!
"Babu was the happiest of all, and was the first to stand up with a glass of wine during dinner.
Hong Tao can understand his mood, and he probably has also been under a lot of pressure in the company. It's okay if people don't say that he is using his power for personal gain. But using his company's resources to sponsor such a bad fishing team may not be what he is happy with, but other shareholders may not be happy either.
, now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is the result of everyone's hard work. The one who deserves the greatest credit goes to Cavill. Without his super physical strength, I'm afraid we would have been much slower at catching fish. I respect Cavell and I hope we can catch a big fish tomorrow!"
Hong Tao was no longer polite at this time. On the issue of trolling, although he was also a master of two swords, compared to others, he should still be considered a master.
"No problem, I am full of strength. If I were not afraid of breaking the fishing rod, I could pull the fish over in 10 minutes!" Cavell tore off his shirt, revealing the two huge muscles on his chest
, and also posed in a toned posture, it seems that he is feeling really good today.
"Erin, look, Cavill's breasts are bigger than women, and they don't sag..." Hong Tao looked at Cavill's chest muscles and could only feel envy, jealousy, and then hatred. (To be continued.
