Chapter 190 Crazy struggle! Death roll!
Big!
This head is really big!
Zhao Dahai stared at the big snake-like fish pulled out of the water with his eyes wide open.
White eel!
This is a big eel!
The fish you want to catch by setting the hook is finally here!
There are many kinds of eels in the sea, and white eel is one of them. It has no scales, has a blue-gray or blue-black back, and a white belly. It looks a bit like an eel. People in nearby villages usually call it white eel.
White eel is not as good as May eel, but it is still a rare high-end seafood. Steamed white eel with black bean sauce is a reserved dish for banquets in fishing villages. Whether it is served to multi-millionaires or ordinary people, it is very respectable.
Zhao Dahai was a little nervous. The eel that was hooked was as thick as an arm and weighed three or four kilograms. Its sharp teeth bit the nylon main line and rolled crazily. It was very powerful.
Zhao Dahai carefully pulled the eel to the side of the fishing boat, changed his left hand to hold the main line, and picked up the net with his right hand, specially holding a longer wooden handle. The eel will jump when it finds danger. Once bitten, it will tear off a piece of flesh. , you have to be extremely careful, no matter how big the fish is, it is not in this danger.
It took Zhao Dahai two or three minutes to pick up the white eel. He didn’t dare to unhook it. He put the net into the live cabin. He cut the sub-line directly with the scissors and tipped it over. The eel fell into the live cabin. It was moving wildly, making splashing noises, and splashing water.
Are you so fierce?
Zhao Dahai was startled and immediately covered the living cabin with the cover. He refused to give up and struggled for several minutes before he stopped.
Zhao Dahai wiped the seawater from his face. The eel was struggling just now. He was inexperienced and was a little embarrassed.
Zhao Dahai arranged the row of hooks and continued to pull the main line. He pulled up seven or eight empty hooks that were not catching fish. The familiar feeling appeared again. When he pulled it up, it turned out to be another white eel, but it was slightly smaller. Only three or four pounds.
Zhao Dahai seized the time and continued to pull the hooks. After collecting a basket, he caught a total of seven white eels, ranging from two to three kilograms to four or five kilograms. The harvest was very good.
Zhao Dahai didn’t stop at the pier and immediately rushed to collect the hooks for the seventh basket. As soon as the main line was pulled out of the water, the first hook was another eel. However, none of the subsequent hooks were hooked by the eel. There were only two or three worthless small fish. The hooks in the eighth, ninth and tenth baskets were the same. There were no eels, only some fish, not big in size. The only two-pound spring fish was worth some money.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Dahai collected all the rows of hooks, drove the fishing boat back to the place where he caught the sixth basket of white eels, and carefully looked at the surrounding sea surface. The sea water was not deep, about seven or eight meters, and it was a bit turbid. I took a look at the sea water with a bucket. There were some small grains of sand. I wonder if it was usually like this or the typhoon had just passed and the big swells had risen from the bottom of the sea.
If you place the hooks in this position in front of you, you will catch seven white eels. If you place the hooks in the seventh basket, only the first hook will catch the eels.
Could it be said that the area between the sixth and seventh Luokang only contains white eels?
Are there any other places?
Zhao Dahai thought about it for a while and felt that it was very likely to be the case. Next, the hook must be placed in this place. He rushed home immediately. Once he arrived at the dock, he fished for the fish and went home. The eels did not need to be fed. I put them directly in the refrigerator without taking a rest. I took out the ten baskets that I put out today and sorted them out a little. I immediately hung up the bait. All the white eels I caught were among the leading fish. I just gave up on the small mud shrimps and hung up the ten baskets. I thought about it. Thinking about it, I moved out another ten baskets and continued to hang them.
The movement of releasing the hook is very loud. Once a fish is caught, especially a valuable eel, it is very easy to attract attention, and many people will follow the release at once. This is the virtue of fishing in shallow seas and offshore areas. Basically, it is a one-time deal. Once you find the point, you have to work hard. Put down twenty baskets at a time and catch as many as you can. Don't think about the opportunity the day after tomorrow.
Zhao Dahai kept hanging dragon-headed fish, and grandma Zhong Cuihua cooked dinner and came over to help. The two of them were busy until twelve o'clock in the evening before they finished hanging all the fish.
Zhao Dahai was so hungry that he ate heartily and told his grandmother Zhong Cuihua that he had to get up early and go out at four in the morning. If there were fish on the hooks of the twenty baskets, he would not come back too early, saying It's not allowed to go until twelve o'clock in the evening or even later. The place where the hooks are placed is not far away, so don't worry.
After Zhao Dahai finished eating, he immediately took a bath and went to bed.
It is quiet at night.
Zhong Cuihua added some firewood to the stove, cooked the rice and stir-fried the vegetables, and heated it on the stove before going to bed.
It's half past three in the morning.
Zhao Dahai got up lightly and walked into the kitchen. He saw that the food had been cooked long ago. He took the time to finish it. At exactly four o'clock, twenty baskets with hooks were placed on a tricycle and pulled to the dock. , loaded onto the fishing boat, parked the tricycle directly at the dock, locked it, and immediately drove the fishing boat out to sea.
Zhao Dahai rushed to the place where he caught the white eel yesterday and looked at the sea surface. The color of the sea water was as turbid as yesterday, and the waves were similar. He breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the tide comes, the fish will come.
If the weather is calm here today, especially if the sea water becomes very clear, it is very likely that we will not be able to catch white eels.
Last night, I specifically asked my grandma Zhong Cuihua. She had never heard of so many eels in the place where she placed the hooks. It was most likely that the typhoon came with the tide.
Eels or other fish, shrimps and crabs like this often stay for two or three days. If you happen to encounter them, you can catch them if you can, and if you miss them, they will be gone.
Zhao Dahai didn’t waste time. He had to hurry up and release the hooks for the twenty baskets today. He immediately started placing them all at the place where seven eels were caught yesterday. After releasing the hooks for the first basket, Put it out in the direction opposite to the sea at an almost parallel position. Place a basket every two or three hundred meters or four or five hundred meters. After putting twenty baskets away, you can eat something simple and start pulling the hooks immediately.
“I hit it!”
Zhao Dahai had just pulled the first hook of the first basket, and his hand immediately felt shaking. He was very strong and kept rolling and pulling. , which is completely different from hooking black sea bream, eel or other fish, including grouper.
Large white eels, especially those weighing seven to eight kilograms or more than ten kilograms, are very strong. Especially when struggling, they will roll over to death. They also have sharp teeth and can easily decouple or break the thread.
This is a sandy bottom with no rocks, so you don’t have to worry about drilling into the bottom of the sea and you don’t have to worry about breaking the line.
Zhao Dahai was not in a hurry, carefully and slowly pulled the eel out of the water in two or three minutes.
Zhao Dahai's eyes widened and he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The white eel on the water surface was bigger than the first one caught yesterday. It was floating like a python and must weigh at least seven or eight pounds.
Zhao Dahai took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, took the net, did not dare to put it directly into the water, and placed it in the air above the eel's head. He saw the right moment and suddenly Copy it down.
The white eel was frightened and rushed forward. The net had already covered its head. It rushed forward and crashed into the net. Unable to escape, it became ferocious. It opened its mouth and bit the net, spinning wildly. Twisting.
Zhao Dahai held the wooden handle of the net with both hands and carried it onto the fishing boat.
The eel continued to twist and struggle wildly, leaving patches of mucus on the deck. It took five or six minutes to slowly calm down.
Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief. The fifty or sixty kilogram big blue spots didn’t take so much effort.
When pulling the big grouper out of the sea, especially when it is pulled out of the water, the strength has been almost exhausted, but it is just a little heavier. It will struggle when it gets on the fishing boat, but the struggle is not severe. It usually only takes two or three times or even Many people who were pulled out of deep water were almost dead due to bloating and loss of pressure at the surface.
The white eel is different, but it is pulled up from a water depth of seven to eight meters and no more than ten meters. There is no such thing as loss of pressure, and it does not consume energy. It is very fierce, and it has sharp teeth that are very scary.
Zhao Dahai took the scissors and cut off the sub-thread. He had caught a few fish yesterday and gained experience. He did not directly turn the net into the live cabin, but put the net into the live cabin together. He slowly shook it out, and immediately covered it with the cover of the living cabin. Hearing the reaction, the eel struggled wildly again, and the sound of hitting the deck of the living cabin shook his head. It was really too fierce.
Zhao Dahai continued to pull the row of hooks, and found four empty hooks. On the sixth hook, another eel was hooked, both of which were only half as big as the first one, weighing three kilograms.
Zhao Dahai was very happy. His guess was right. Only the area where he placed the hooks had large white eels. He caught another one so quickly. There were more white eels here today than yesterday.
It took Zhao Dahai almost forty minutes to pull the first row of hooks and caught a total of eleven eels. Zhao Dahai shook his hands and drove the fishing boat to the position of the hook of the second basket while taking a few sips of water. Don't think about having time to eat in this situation today. The hooks of the nineteen baskets were in the sea. Waiting for yourself, you must hurry up.
The sun sets.
Zhao Dahai wiped the sweat from his forehead and started to pull the hooks of the first basket until now. He only finished pulling the hooks of fifteen baskets, and there are still five baskets waiting in the sea. I had not rested and was very tired, but when I thought of the big white eels I had caught, I immediately took a shot of chicken blood. I was full of strength. I gritted my teeth and drove the fishing boat to the sixteenth basket where the hooks were arranged and continued to pull. .
The moon is at the zenith.
Zhao Dahai gasped for air. He had just finished pulling the hook of the last basket. He was relieved and could not hold on anymore. He slumped directly on the deck of the fishing boat as if he had no bones. Since the fishing boat was launched, Today is the most tiring day when going out to sea, whether fishing or fishing. I got up at three or four in the morning and have been working non-stop until now without being able to rest. All my strength has been consumed.
Zhao Dahai sat for almost ten minutes, supporting the deck with both hands, and stood up with all his strength. He walked to the small cabin where the lunch boxes were placed and took the lunch box. When he opened the lid, his hands were trembling. He didn't use chopsticks or spoons. He just used his hands. I grabbed it and stuffed it into my mouth and devoured it. It was enough for two large bowls of rice, plus the fatty pork belly. It was all stuffed into my stomach in less than five minutes. The rice I took out in the morning was now cold and hard, and I couldn't swallow it. My neck was long and my throat was a little sore. I grabbed a kettle and drank a lot of water. I rested for half an hour and slowly regained my strength.
“What the heck!”
“It’s so hard to make money today!”
“But I’ve earned so much!”
Zhao Dahai looked at it It's not early. I told my grandma Zhong Cuihua last night that I would definitely have to go back later today, but I will definitely be worried and have to go home early. I will immediately drive the fishing boat and rush back to the village.
There was a car parked in the open space in front of Zhao Dahai's house. It had been parked for a long time and there was dew on the car.
Wu Weiminming sat in the car and looked at the time, which was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"No way?"
"It's so late! Why aren't you back yet?!"
Wu Weimin frowned.
Someone has booked fifty tables of very high-end banquets for ten days. In the past few days, he has been wandering around various villages, greeting people he is familiar with who go fishing at sea, and booking top-quality seafood. , I haven’t fished for several days, and my hands were itchy. I saw that it was not far from Zhao Dahai’s village, so I rushed over. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dahai’s grandma Zhong Cuihua said that she had already gone to sea at three or four in the morning.
Wu Weiming has gone fishing twice with Zhao Dahai since he went out to sea twice. The other boat bosses all looked down upon him, so he waited here at the door. He originally thought that he would survive at five or six o'clock, but he would not be able to survive at seven or eight o'clock. I'll be back soon, but I didn't expect to wait until ten o'clock in the evening.
Wu Weimin couldn't sit still, so he drove to the pier and parked it. He walked onto the pier and searched again. He didn't see Zhao Dahai's fishing boat. Even though it was already here, he just waited on the pier. I saw the fishing boats in the sea as soon as they came back.
Zhao Dahai drove the fishing boat and saw the lights of the pier of Langtou Village in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief. You have to be more careful when driving a fishing boat at night. It took a lot of time to get there.
Zhao Dahai slowly approached the dock. He had just parked the fishing boat when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Wu Weimin shouting at him loudly and shining his hands.
"Boss Wu!"
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Dahai didn't expect to see Wu Weimin here.
Wu Weiming smiled and said that he had been here a long time ago, thinking about going fishing, but he did not expect to wait for several hours before returning.
Zhao Dahai was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it. He went out at three or four in the morning, and he couldn't be found on the sea at all.
"Did you release the hook? How was the harvest?"
Wu Weiming looked at the basket facing him on the deck and immediately knew that Zhao Dahai was going to sea to release the hook this time.
Zhao Dahai said with a smile that today’s harvest is quite good.
Wu Weiming was a little curious about what kind of fish he caught, especially how many fish he caught, and he immediately got on the fishing boat.
Zhao Dahai opened the lid of the large refrigerator placed on the deck. It took a long time to pull the hooks all day long. More and more white eels were caught. The living cabin was full of them. The oxygen machine did not work. There was a lack of oxygen. In addition, the white eels did not need to be fed. It was almost They were all dead and put in the refrigerator.
"Ah?!"
"Eel?!"
"Such a big eel?"
"Is this what you hooked when you went out to sea today?"
Wu Weimin looked through the lights on the fishing boat and was very surprised to see a whole refrigerator full of big white eels as thick as his arms.
Zhao Dahai shook his head with a smile and stamped the cover of the live cabin with his foot. The cabin was full.
“Isn’t this crazy?!”
“How can we catch so many?”
“Hey!”
“I don’t care. What is this thing for?”
"No one has ordered these big white eels yet, right? I want them all!"
Wu Weimin immediately said, winning these big white eels is the real thing. This dish will be placed at the banquet ten days later. It is very interesting. face.
“The fishing boat has just docked!”
“Where can we sell fish?!”
“Boss Wu, if you want it, sell it to you!”
Zhao Dahai nodded, thinking that Liu Gang must not know about this matter. These big white eels were originally intended to be sold to Liu Gang. Wu Weiming happened to be here tonight, near the water and on a first-come-first-served basis, so he cut off the eels as soon as he opened his mouth.
Asking for monthly tickets and recommended votes! Thanks!
