231. Harbor Night
Qin Shiou did not need to continue to control the big bluefin tuna, chasing the bait scattered around, and the big fish wandered up greedily.
The fishing boat's sonar fish finder made a sharp sound. Qin Shiou looked at the screen. The sea monster pointed out to him: "Look, the green pattern is the image reflected back by the sonar. This underground layer is the seabed. This curved The image is a tuna!¡±
"It could also be a shark." Qin Shiou smiled.
The sea monster shook his head and said: "A novice can't tell the difference between a shark and a bluefin tuna, but an experienced person can tell it at a glance. Look at its swimming trajectory and speed. The shark won't swing left and right so cunningly. It will It will rush up to eat the bait. But the shark cannot be that fast. If it can be this fast, it is a tuna!"
Shaq hung the live bait on the hook and threw it down, murmuring: "Come on, man, come to my boat quickly. I have already bought you a ticket to Japan. I wish you a pleasant journey." !¡±
Live fish are more attractive to tuna. Seeing the Atlantic herring struggling in the sea, this bluefin tuna no longer hesitated and rushed up like an arrow, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the herring into its mouth.
The bait enters the big mouth of the bluefin tuna along with the hook. As the big fish swims, the hook falls out of the herring's mouth and gets stuck in the tuna's mouth. The fishing line is inserted into the tuna's gills - taking the bait. Got it!
The fishing rod wheel seat rotated rapidly, and the main line, which was half the thickness of disposable chopsticks, was quickly pulled out, and the fishing rod inevitably bent.
Shaq pressed the wheel base and looked at the sea intently while shouting: "Sea monster, bring the damn harpoon and come out quickly! Boss, you can drive the boat, listen to me, and make the fishing boat go backwards"
The bluefin tuna was in pain and struggled wildly in the water after being pinched into its gills by the fishing line. The sea monster picked up the harpoon and waited aside. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Qin Shiou: "Until the fish is caught on the deck, everything does not count. , even if the tuna bites the hook, the dehooking rate is 60%!"
Shaq is an experienced fisherman and will not make stupid mistakes. He stretched the fishing line to an appropriate level and constantly directed Qin Shiou to operate the fishing boat and maintain the same forward or backward line with the tuna, so that it could not break away from the hook.
It took more than half an hour for the tuna to get tired, but it still wanted to give it a try, seize the opportunity and dive into the bottom of the boat.
The tigers and leopards waiting by the side of the boat suddenly closed their ears and jumped into the water, blocking the water at the bottom of the boat.
The tuna was frightened and hurriedly backed away. Shaq gave a sharp shout and quickly pulled in the fishing line, pulling the tuna to the side of the boat.
The sea monster shouted: "Boss, now is the second test, look at my speargun"
The muscles of his right arm flexed like a rock. He shouted and fired the spear gun into the water, hitting the exposed gills of the tuna.
Immediately, blood spurted out. Suffering such a heavy blow, the vitality of the bluefin tuna was sharply reduced.
There is a rope tied to the end of the spear gun. The sea monster quickly retracts the rope and uses the spear gun to pull up the tuna.
There is a characteristic of bluefin tuna that makes them easy to catch, that is, they habitually raise their tails after emerging from the water. Their purpose is to swing their tails to hit enemies, but people often take the opportunity to tie their tails with a noose.
When the sea monster shot the bluefin tuna with a spear gun, Shaq let go of his hand. He went to get the noose and lay on the side of the boat waiting. The bluefin tuna raised its tail and then put the noose on the fish. It's like falling into their pocket.
When Shaq used the noose to wrap the tuna's tail, the sea monster let go of the harpoon. He opened the stern gate and together with Shaq, pulled the tuna up.
The two of them cooperated skillfully and showed Qin Shiou the beauty of fishing skills.
Qin Shiou came out and looked at this bluefin tuna. It was spindle-shaped as a whole, with a round body and smooth and graceful curves, like a drop of water. Its fins are darker cyan and its back to belly are silver-gray, proving it is an Atlantic bluefin tuna.
After catching the fish, Shaq tied its tail around the crane and hung it up while singing happily: "from-this-valley-they-say-youre-going,
The sea monster soon sang along with his voice: "for-theysayyoure-taking-the-sunshine, that-has-brightened-our-path-way-a-while"
Qin Shiou smiled as he listened to the two singing. He was very familiar with this song. It can almost be said that it is the most widely circulated Canadian folk song in the world - "Red River"?¡·.
This song mainly shows the immigrants who reclaimed wasteland, built homes, and developed cities in the Red River area in the north, and finally turned the bison-infested wasteland into a beautiful home. It praises the diligence of workers and their longing when building their homes. Generally speaking, Fishermen will sing this song when they collect their catch and farmers collect grain.
¡°Boss, let¡¯s eat together, eat together!¡± Shaq said happily.
Without starting the crane, Iverson directly stretched out his hand and pulled the rope back, then hoisted the fish up. Shaq cut off the gills with a knife, and the sea monster cut open the tail of the fish to let the blood flow. come out.
Fish are cold-blooded creatures. This does not mean that their blood has no temperature. When they were struggling to escape before, the blood temperature of the fish was relatively high. Now that the fish is dead, the flesh will be cold. In this way, the fish blood will destroy the fish flesh and cause it to produce lactic acid, which will make the fish taste delicious. Just bad.
After cleaning the fish blood, Shaq measured it and laughed: "It's very good, 168 centimeters, a big guy. I guess as long as the meat quality of this fish is better, it can be sold for 20,000 yuan."
¡°I hope I can fly it to Tokyo for auction, then the price is uncertain.¡± The sea monster said with a smile.
Shaq looked at the fish meat, shook his head and said: "This is quite chewy. The quality of this fish is average."
Several people were commenting on the fish. On several American ships in the distance, the crew members were looking at Qin Shiou with binoculars. Some people kept yelling angrily:
¡°Damn, this rich Canadian guy is so lucky, he caught a good fish right away.¡±
"Fake, does even God like rich people? We have been out for a day and haven't caught a single fish!"
"That fish is really big. It would be great if it belonged to me. Then I can go to Gloucester Harbor to find two beautiful girls to play with tonight."
The group of people took photos with the fish respectively. Ivoson hugged the fish happily when taking the photo. He must have thought it was tonight's dinner, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.
The reason why bluefin tuna is valuable lies in its rarity. Qin Shiou and his team never encountered another fish after catching this fish.
Of course, Qin Shiou controlled a big fish. This fish was racing wildly on the bottom of the sea. It must have encountered the same kind. He met more than a dozen of them, but they were all relatively small. The largest one was more than one meter long. Qin Shiou did not want to catch such a small thing. .
??Besides, it would be abnormal if you catch too many bluefin tuna in a row, so it¡¯s better to keep a low profile when you first come here.
At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, with the sun still high in the sky, Qin Shiou and others were ready to put away their fishing rods and leave.
George Shoal is some distance from the harbor, and it takes more than three hours to drive back, so you have to leave early.
At the same time, the owners of several other boats were also setting off to leave. They would not stay at sea overnight because most of these boats were simple fishing boats and the ice reserves could not be retained for two days or more.
As for bluefin tuna, once caught, it must be bled and frozen, and the fishermen need to return to the harbor to replenish oil and ice.
Qin Shiou¡¯s destination is also the American territory, Gloucester Harbor, because the Nova Scotia Peninsula is further away, more than 60 kilometers away. This is a one-hour flight, which consumes more time and wastes more fuel.
The trawl yacht has high horsepower and a solid hull, so it naturally travels faster. In this way, although Qin Shiou and others were the last to leave, they entered the port almost at the same time as the ships that left earlier.
Nowadays, Gloucester Harbor is dominated by fishing boats. Trawl fishing boats and seine fishing boats are rare. Fishing boats of various sizes are dotted around and scattered everywhere in the pier.
The fishermen are all familiar with each other, and most of them are even residents of Gloucester Harbor, so after returning to the pier, these people greeted each other, asked about the catch, and joked. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
