Chapter six hundred and sixty-six sea monsters on board
"Can he make it? We have to chase the fish." Hong Tao hung up the last float while worrying about Paul's driving skills.
"No problem, Paul has his own yacht. Although he can't compare with professional pilots, he can definitely handle fishing. What should I do?" Babu was quite relieved about Paul.
"You don't have to do anything. We are the only ones on the boat who can still move now. If there is a fish later, I will sneak the fish first, and then you will take over. We can catch as many fish as we can, so we can't go back empty-handed."
"Hong Tao was like a crazy mouse, jumping left and right on the back deck. He got all three fishing rods ready by himself and then put them down one by one. As for why there were no more four fishing rods, he was afraid that he couldn't take care of them alone.
Come so much.
Paul really had two brushes. Although his face was sallow from vomiting and he couldn't even stand up straight, the fishing boat was actually controlled very smoothly. He quickly caught up with the suspected group of large fish and controlled the fishing boat at high speeds.
Slowly and slowly walk back and forth in a zigzag pattern in front of the fish school, trying to attract the attention of the fish school with the artificial bait.
"You didn't report the fish school to the organizing committee this time, did you?" Hong Tao observed the movement of the three floating balls with a telescope, and suddenly remembered the competition regulations.
"We haven't had time to say it yet. Do we have to report it now? We haven't confirmed that this is a fish school yet? How to report it?" Babu said seriously the reason why he did not report it.
"Hey, there is a folk proverb in our country, which goes like this: The old man is a treacherous man and the old man is slippery. You are just a slippery man. Why don't you mention the honorable and disgraceful things?" Hong Tao explained the proverb to Babu.
Rough meaning.
"This is a very philosophical statement. Life is a process of accumulating experience. Although the rules say that reporting is required, we have not determined that this is a school of fish, so we cannot report it. That is irresponsible," Babu said.
He is extremely righteous, and coupled with his old face that has experienced many vicissitudes of life, it is better not to be an acquaintance. I must think that he is adhering to the truth.
"I've really met an expert. You can listen to the curse words as philosophy. You are much better than me. In fact, that's what I mean. I need to verify the authenticity of this fish school first, and then report it. And I think
Catching one fish doesn't explain the problem, but at least three fish in a row can explain the problem." Hong Tao gave Babu a thumbs up, expressing his sincerity.
Paul's action of not being able to leave the line of fire after being slightly injured must have moved the heavens, and then good luck came to the Manhattan. After more than 20 minutes of trolling, in the field of view of Hong Tao's telescope, a red floating ball in the middle said hello.
It didn't even hit, it just sank into the sea level and disappeared.
"Babu, I caught a fish. It feels big. Let's collect all the other fishing rods first!" Hong Tao was guarding behind this fishing rod. After seeing the floating ball disappear, he immediately took the fishing rod from the rod holder.
stood up, and then inserted the end of the pole into the top of the belly
. He sat directly on the fighting chair and then started to reel in the line. After only a dozen shakes, the fishing line became taut. Hong Tao judged from the strength coming from the fishing rod that this was a big fish. As for how big it was,
We'll have to wait until it's done to find out.
"Babu, you go collect the fishing rod over there. I'll collect this one." Cavell, who had been resting on the starboard side, stood up with difficulty when he heard that he caught a fish, ready to dedicate his life to the fishing team.
The last bit of strength.
"Are you okay with your health?" Babu didn't worry about Cavill.
"I'm definitely not going to be able to fish. But it's okay to clean up the empty rod, don't worry." Cavell guessed that he had nothing to throw up, so he picked up the fishing rod on the starboard stay and started to shake the reel.
handle.
"Paul! Paul, are you there?" Hong Tao has been reeling in the line on the fishing chair. Although it has been very laborious, the fish does not seem to be crazy and the fishing line is being reeled in bit by bit.
return.
"Say it, I'm listening!" Paul's voice came from the flying bridge, but no one came out. He probably didn't want to move a step now.
"This fish is swimming with us. I want to pull it up directly. Pay attention to the speed of the boat. If it sprints, you have to increase the speed of the boat in time." Although Hong Tao's seasickness is not too serious,
My stomach and head are not very comfortable either. I don’t want to engage in a war of attrition with the hooked fish, but I want to see if I can win the battle quickly.
"No problem, I'll watch it for you." As soon as Paul heard that he had caught a fish, he also walked out of the flybridge and sat in front of the console at the back.
"Paul, there are still 100 meters to go, and it is about to show up... Babu, be ready to set the hook. The first hook must be under its gill cover, don't let it run away! Can this fish come up?
It depends on your hook!" Hong Tao did not fasten his safety belt, but just hooked the hook strap into the fixed hole of the drum reel. As more and more fishing lines were retracted, he became more and more
I became more and more nervous and kept calling others so that I could have a sense of support.
"Don't worry! As long as it shows up, I won't be able to escape from old Babu!" Babu is truly an old navy man. He directly opened the tuna door and stood on the small platform where the swimming escalator was installed outside. The platform was less than half
meters wide, in such strong winds and waves, it would be difficult to stand firm even with a safety belt on, but he could hold the stern of the boat with only one hand and nail it there like a big nail, rocking back and forth as the boat
Swinging, while holding a hook more than 2 meters long in his right hand.
"Damn left-handers! I hate left-handers!" As the big fish approached, Hong Tao felt a little nervous. From the faint force coming from the water, he felt that the fish must be quite big.
This is a sixth sense for experienced fishermen. There is no clear way to explain it. From the way, speed and strength of the fish's swimming, experienced fishermen can feel it even without seeing the fish.
Its approximate size. Like this fish now, it doesn't seem to be aware that a metal hook is hooked in its mouth, but it is just wondering why there is always a force pulling it to swim in a certain direction.
It didn't struggle, because it wasn't frightened, so it wasn't afraid, and its swimming posture and speed were normal. However, during the process of raising the pole several times, Hong Tao felt that the big fish below was like a small boat.
Once a submarine goes crazy, the power of the fishing line will definitely pull it back.
It can't be stopped. What makes Hong Tao even more depressed is that the crank handle of the reel on this fishing rod is installed on the left side. For a person who has been accustomed to using his right hand since childhood, ordinary individual fish can still be dealt with, but when encountering
In an emergency, it will definitely be very uncomfortable and the shaking speed will not be fast.
"Your attack is too broad. Except for the vampire banker, everyone on this ship is left-handed." Paul sat on Hong Tao's head and clearly heard Hong Tao's complaints.
"Smart people are right-handed, so I am the fishing champion and Yarbrough is the banker!" Hong Tao never misses any opportunity to bicker, even in such a tense situation. Bickering is the most important thing to him.
One of the best ways to relax.
"What Hong Tao said makes sense. After I go back, I will sponsor a project dedicated to studying this topic. I want to clear the name of us right-handed people!" Yarbrough didn't know when he moved out of the main cabin, and his
I no longer wore my glasses, probably because they affected my smooth vomiting, and the few strands of hair on my bald head were drooped, making me look as if I had just woken up.
"How are you? Are you okay with seasickness?" Paul didn't intend to continue arguing with the two people below.
"Great, I have vomited everything I can in my life, even the seasickness medicine I took, but I can still move, which is much better than those two Philips, who can't even sit down now
I couldn't sit up, and I was praying to God on the carpet." Yarbrough smoothed his hair from his head and held the gangway beside the cabin door, intending to be a cheerleader.
"Hong Tao, I saw it, just 50 meters away. It will be revealed soon. It's such a big marlin! I guarantee with my life that it is indeed a marlin. Oh my God! Babu, we
Caught a big marlin! Hahahahaha..." Paul, who was sitting on his head, suddenly stood up, pointed at the sea at the stern of the boat and shouted.
"Stop shouting! We'll be in trouble if it alerts us. Babu, be ready! It may come out at any time!" Hong Tao didn't even turn his head, but gestured with his middle finger to the back, making Paul laugh directly.
If you block it and go back, shouting at this time may frighten the fish in the water. Once it starts to surge at this distance, it will be difficult to pull it back.
"God bless...God bless...you can't see me...can't see me..." Hong Tao made Paul nervous, muttering in his mouth, trying to calm himself down.
, but it’s too late...
"Oh God!..." This is Babu's exclamation.
"Fuck! Get away..." This was Hong Tao's angry curse.
"No!...Barb..." This is what Paul and Cavill yelled.
"Ah!..." Yarborough said one word directly, and then froze on the spot with his mouth open.
"Bang! Click! Plop...plop!" Almost at the same time, a huge black and white shadow suddenly jumped up from the stern of the ship. The front end of the black shadow was a black spear. It crossed directly out of the sea and returned.
Before everyone could see what it looked like
, and rushed towards the stern of the fishing boat. The spear was as easy as piercing a piece of cheese. It was inserted directly into the mast at the stern of the boat. It directly penetrated the more than 30 cm thick fiberglass mast and was exposed on the inside.
The tip of the gun was more than 20 centimeters long.
"Cavill, give me the rope quickly. Don't go over there yet, or it will pierce your stomach!" Hong Tao reacted the fastest. He held the fishing rod and ran to the tuna gate in two steps, not caring about the first step.
He untied the fishing rod from his belly, picked up a hook from the long cabinet containing fishing gear under the side of the boat, and hit the fish on the head with its head stuck outside the mast and still struggling desperately.
