At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Babu finally found a school of fish swimming on the edge of the fishing area. Hong Tao endured the wind and rain on the back deck for a long time, and finally got something done. He took two fish by himself.
All the rods were ready, but he still stayed on the back deck by himself, refusing help from others. He planned to see if he could catch a big fish alone, so as to test whether his physical strength was strong enough.
God really gave Hong Tao a chance. Just over 20 minutes after the bait was thrown into the water, the floating ball disappeared. Hong Tao jumped up from the sofa like a spring, holding the fishing rod and reeling in a few turns of line.
Then he adjusted the leakage force, inserted it back into the fishing rod socket, and ran to the other side of the back deck to retract the line of the other fishing rod.
After the other fishing rod finished reeling in the line, the fishing rod that caught the fish continued to go out. Hong Tao's hanging heart finally relaxed, the fish was still there!
The rest of the matter will be easy to handle. Hong Tao first holds the fishing rod and fixes himself on the fighting chair. The dangerous situation last time can happen once, but it must not happen a second time. If you can't catch the fish, put it aside. This small life is still
We have to save it first.
After fastening the safety belt and registering the hook, Hong Tao began to take up the line step by step. Due to the delay just now, the fishing line was pulled by the fish and ran more than 400 meters. Now he has to take it back bit by bit.
Rain and sweat flowed down Hong Tao's face. Even with the help of this fighting chair, his legs could use their strength, but the power of this fish was still too great. It took Hong Tao an hour to recover 700
With more than 200 meters of fishing line left, the fish never gave up its struggle.
"Sun thief! You are trying to exhaust your grandfather to death! I still don't believe it. My high technology can't beat you! Babu, reverse the car!" Hong Tao looked at his watch and saw that he didn't have much time left for him.
Too much. If you can’t get the fish up before 3:30, you have to let it go. Because the competition weigh-in time is at 4:30 p.m., you must give Barb an hour before he can put the fish in.
The boat sails back.
While reversing the car and reeling in the line, the big fish finally got closer and closer to the stern of the boat. At a distance of more than 50 meters, it finally couldn't help but jumped out from the sea. It was still a marlin, not as big as the one that weighed more than 1,000 pounds.
.but not small, at least about 800 pounds.
"Hong Tao! Time is running out, do you need help?" Paul has asked Hong Tao several times, but has been rejected every time.
"No, I have to get it up independently!" Hong Tao didn't care about the fishing team's performance. He was already worthy of them. Their fishing team had been saved. Now it was time to have some fun for himself.
"Okay, you must be careful. Don't hurt yourself." Paul understood Hong Tao's mood. According to their Western persuasion, this was a challenge to himself, a very high-level spiritual activity. He must support it.
There were still 5 minutes left before the return flight. Hong Tao finally caught the chin of the big fish with a hook, but he really didn’t have the strength to pull the more than 300 kilograms big guy out of the water. After trying several times, he had to let the fish go.
It took Will's help to successfully get it onto the back deck.
"Close the hatch! Everyone get into the main cabin. We're going to be late, right away!" Almost at the same time, Babu had already issued a final warning on the flybridge, and then pushed the throttle to the bottom in one breath.
During this hour of return, everyone on the boat fell into a state of seasickness again. Paul, Hongtao, and Babu were so excited to drive the boat that a roller coaster could no longer describe the majesty of the fishing boat. The boat was almost bouncing on the top of the waves.
Moving forward, every time it hits a wave, the water splashes several meters high, and the entire hull feels like it is sinking deep into the sea water. But the next second, the boat will jump out again and climb the wave crest again.
There was no room left in the main cabin. Except for Paul, who used a seat belt to secure himself firmly to the driver's seat, no one else could sit firmly on the sofa. They all lay on the carpet and rolled back and forth, vomiting whenever they felt like it.
I had to vomit everywhere and couldn't stand up at all, let alone go to the bathroom.
"Hong Tao! I never want to see you again. You hurt me twice. The first time I was hit by the waves and lost my glasses. The second time you made me roll around on the carpet like a broken sack.
After 1 hour, my spare glasses were crushed again. This was a wedding anniversary gift from my wife! If you let me know
What investment do you have in the eastern United States? If you wait, I will make you lose all your belt!" Yarbrough almost climbed down when he got off the boat. He sat on the dock for half an hour and couldn't help himself.
After getting on the bus, looking at the mocking expressions of the spectators and fishermen around him, he directed all his anger at Hong Tao.
"Tch! Don't threaten me! Even if you kill me, I won't invest in the United States. Why don't you go to China and open another bank? I have a lot of investments in China, and all of them can make money. I'll tell you something else.
One thing, I will drive when I go back. Don’t you know? I am a professional racing driver in China. I can do this.
Can you believe that this off-road vehicle drives like Babu's fishing boat?" Hong Tao is really not afraid of bankers. This thing is too far away from ordinary people's lives, and there is no possibility of interaction. But bragging will scare him.
, Hong Tao thought it was quite interesting, even though he could no longer lift his arms.
"Wait, I'll drive, I'll drive." After hearing Hong Tao's words, Yarborough immediately stood up from the ground and insisted that Babu get down and let him be the driver.
"You are confused by Hong Tao. How can he be a driver when I am sitting here? And a racing driver? He is lying to you. Do you believe it when he says he can fly a plane?" Babu lifted Yarborough with one hand.
He stood up, then pulled it from his lap and pressed it directly on the passenger seat.
The final results of the competition came out soon. The second team of Hatteras, Paul’s fishing team, finally won the third place in the overall score and the first place in the single weight! Paul couldn’t be more satisfied with this ranking.
, in Babu’s words, if those people in the company still dare to cancel the sponsorship of the fishing team, he will burn down the company’s factory.
However, due to too many wounded soldiers, no one attended the awards ceremony held in the hotel next to the pier. Only Philip with a belly was appointed as the representative, and the others went directly back to the Lavender Manor to rest.
"Are you going to participate in the competition? You look like a shipwrecked crew member! Mr. Yarbrough, how did you hit your head?" Sister Eileen returned to the manor this morning. When they saw
When Hong Tao and others helped each other out of the car, they were immediately dumbfounded. This was so tragic!
"You have to ask your husband about this. He is a bad person and you really shouldn't marry him!" Yarborough did not forget to tell Hong Tao in front of Irene.
"Hong Tao, did you and Yarborough fight?" Irene saw that Hong Tao's moral character was not much better. He walked with his legs crossed and his arms folded, as if he was also injured.
"Ouch, ouch! Don't touch my arm. My arm is strained. Don't listen to Yarborough. How can such an outstanding young man like me be a bad person? He didn't catch any fish. He is jealous of me." Although Hong Tao's arm was
Even if it's broken, the mouth is still healthy and you can't suffer any loss at all.
Hong Tao will definitely not be able to cook dinner. None of the remaining uncles can cook. Fortunately, Irene and Hong Tao have learned a lot of cooking skills. They feel like a combination of Chinese and Western. Although Hong Tao really cannot compliment the taste, but
Don’t feel bad if you eat steamed buns for free. Not only can’t you criticize, but you also have to praise while eating, otherwise they won’t do it next time.
After dinner, everyone was still in a high mood. No one went back to their room to rest. They sat together in the living room and chatted. No one liked the prizes that Philip, who had a big belly, received, and gave them all to Hong Tao. They only kept the trophy and certificate.
"Hong Tao, do you have any other plans in the future? There will be a trolling competition in South Africa in April. If you are willing, we can help you sign up. There is a prize for this competition. Do you want to participate together?" Babu said.
After joining his fishing team, he was in a good mood and began to look forward to the next game.
"I may not be able to go. I plan to learn a small aircraft license, and then I also want to participate in next year's flw series to see if I can win the championship. In addition, there are some things that need to be done in my country. I'm afraid Teng
I don't have enough time to go to South Africa." Hong Tao rubbed his arms. He was not very interested in this desperate deep-sea trolling competition. This thing is not suitable for him who has just entered a well-off life, and is more suitable for those idle eggs in Europe and the United States.
People who feel pain, like Paul and others.
"Take the airplane license test? What is it for? Do you want to buy a private jet to go back to China?" Paul asked in confusion.
"Can't a U.S. license be used in China? Is it different from a car driver's license?" Hong Tao asked Paul to ask this, but he felt a bit unreliable.
"That's for sure. Pilot licenses are much more strictly controlled than car licenses. A U.S. license is of no use in China. My license is not even allowed in the cockpit of an airplane in China. I still need to learn it again in China.
Take the test again." Paul used himself as an example.
"Okay, I took it for granted again. I won't take the pilot's license test. I can't afford to fly a plane anyway." When Hong Tao heard that it was still such a troublesome thing, he just gave it up. He wanted to get addicted to flying, so he took Carl back to the United States.
It should still be affordable to rent a plane.
"Are you going to go back to China directly? Or should you stay for a few more days before leaving?" Babu was very concerned about Hong Tao's schedule.
"I've been here all over, and there's nowhere to go. Why don't you just go back to China? Do you have anything else to do?" Hong Tao felt that Babu seemed to have something to say.
"Well, on the second day of Christmas, there is a sailing competition from Sydney to Hobart. We have signed up to participate in the amateur group. Do you want to try together?" Barb told the truth. (
