Chapter 195 The fortune fish with a red mouth!
"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo!"
Zhao Dahai was so excited that his hands were shaking a little. It took him a while to unhook the hook and hold it in his hand. I looked at it carefully for a while to make sure that I had read it correctly.
Not the yellow croaker!
Not a spring fish!
Big yellow croaker!
This is a big yellow croaker!
“How could that happen?”
“How could there be a large yellow croaker here?”
Zhao Dahai was very surprised. Large yellow croaker is a very valuable seafood with a very delicious taste. In the early years, the production was very large, but overfishing has made this fish almost extinct. In recent years, this kind of fish has basically not been seen. I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I caught one.
Is it wild?
Zhao Dahai knew that in recent years, some places have begun to release large yellow croaker fry into the sea, and some places have even begun to breed large yellow croaker.
If it is cultured large yellow croaker, especially the large yellow croaker that escapes from the breeding tank, it is not very valuable. Only pure wild large yellow croaker can be sold at a high price.
Zhao Dahai looked carefully at the large yellow croaker he caught. It's not that big, about five or six ounces, and its fish shape is very slender.
Zhao Dahai reached out and plucked the fins under the fish's eyes and folded them towards the fish's head, directly covering the eyes.
“Ha!”
“Wild!”
Zhao Dahai couldn’t help but clenched his fist hard. The elongated fish shape is a common feature of wild fish. Farmed fish have plenty of food. People who raise fish hope that the fish will grow up in the shortest time, so they often provide sufficient food. The fish that grow up will be big, fat and plump. Fish in the wild have very little food, and they exercise a lot, swim very long distances, and are usually very thin and long. The eyes directly covered by the fins are a hard standard for wild large yellow croakers.
“This little mouth is really red!”
Zhao Dahai stared at the large yellow croaker for a while. The fish's mouth was really very distinctive, with a bright red color like rouge.
"Hurry!"
"Hurry up and keep it fresh!"
Zhao Dahai was a little in a hurry.
The large yellow croaker caught in the sea water is completely golden, which is the most beautiful color. The large yellow croaker has another nickname called gold bar. One is its color, and the other is its very high price.
The caught large yellow croaker does not need to be raised. If it is kept in a live fish pond for a while, its color will turn white. If you want to preserve the golden color of large yellow croaker, you have to wrap it in something dark-colored, such as a yellow or black plastic bag or something else, and put it in the refrigerator immediately.
Zhao Dahai searched for a long time on the fishing boat. He didn’t expect to catch a large yellow croaker. He was not prepared at all. After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find anything suitable. He could only wrap the large yellow croaker in a towel and put it away directly. The refrigerator is laid out flat and the ice is packed.
Zhao Dahai breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat that had appeared on his forehead at some point. It was not from heat but from nervousness.
Is there really a school of large yellow croaker?
Zhao Dahai remembered that when they went out to sea in the morning, Zhong Shizhu and the others said that someone had set out fishing nets to capture a large yellow croaker in the past two days. At that time, he thought it was a joke. There was no way there really was a large yellow croaker. Unexpectedly, not only was there a large yellow croaker, but he was also Caught.
Zhao Dahai picked up the fishing rod and was able to catch one, maybe a second and a third. After fishing for a long time in the live cabin, there was not a single small mud shrimp.
Do it!
Zhao Dahai was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Large yellow croaker only eats live bait. The one we just caught was fished with live shrimp, which shows that it likes to use live shrimp to catch it. There are sea centipedes on the fishing boat, so it is basically impossible to catch it.
What to do?
Zhao Dahai patted his forehead hard and tried to calm down for a while.
Go home!
Go home immediately and buy live shrimps for fishing!
Zhao Dahai made a decision very simply. The sea centipede will definitely not be able to catch the large yellow croaker. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to seize the time and go home to buy live shrimps and then fish again. In addition, fishing for large yellow croaker during the day is not as good as at night. Large yellow croaker is usually hunted at night. Buy live shrimps and then rush over. Tonight, we will catch large yellow croaker here all night long.
Zhao Dahai looked at the surrounding sea, remembered this place, immediately pulled up the anchor, drove the fishing boat back to the dock, parked the fishing boat and went home immediately.
"Ah?"
"Why are you back so early?"
Zhong Cuihua was weaving fishing nets in the main room. When she heard the sound, she came out and saw Zhao Dahai coming back. The expression on her face was very serious and nervous. , was shocked and didn’t know what was happening.
"Grandma!"
"I caught a big yellow croaker. But there were no live shrimps. I hurried back to buy live shrimps in the town and went out for night fishing later in the evening. Today Won’t come back at night”
"The weather is relatively good and the place is not far from the pier, so there is no need to worry about safety."
Zhao Dahai said as he put all the yellow snapper he caught into the live fish pond, added oxygen and turned on the water pump. , opened the refrigerator and took out the large yellow croaker.
Zhong Cuihua saw that it was really a big yellow croaker.
“Okay!”
“You go to the town to buy live shrimp now. I will cook the rice right now. You can eat it when I come back later. After you finish eating, go to sea.”
Zhong Cuihua was a little uneasy. People in the fishing village know very well that the big yellow croaker is a fortune fish. Zhao Dahai caught one, and it is very possible to catch several others in the same place. Don't look at it as the last five or six taels, it is already several hundred yuan more. If it can be adjusted to more than one kilogram, the price will be even higher. One piece will cost at least two to three thousand, three to five thousand or even higher.
Zhao Dahai nodded, immediately rode a tricycle out to the town, bought ten kilograms of live shrimp, and immediately rushed back home. The rice was already cooked, and he finished it quickly. After sorting out his things, he You should bring a dark red or black plastic bag and pack everything, including some food. A gas lamp is essential. You can ride a tricycle and rush to the pier with your things, get on the fishing boat and go out to sea immediately.
Night falls.
The sea was pitch black.
Zhao Dahai slowed down the speed of the fishing boat and stopped steadily at the place where he caught the large yellow croaker during the day.
Zhao Dahai looked around and saw that there were no other fishing boats nearby. He breathed a sigh of relief. If someone occupied this place, he would not be able to find a place to cry.
Zhao Dahai lit a gas lamp and hung it on the pillar. He was going to stay up all night tonight. It was impossible to use the diesel engine all the time. The gas lamp was very bright and very convenient. After hanging the lamp, he carefully checked that the position was correct. I looked at the sea and saw that there was a little running water, and the sea water was a bit turbid.
Zhao Dahai stabilized the fishing boat with an anchor hook, and immediately began preparations. Three poles were all used for bottom fishing, and they were all hung up and thrown out alive.
I wonder if there are any fish?
Zhao Dahai rubbed his hands. He was not so nervous when fishing for other fish, even red spots or big blue spots. The big yellow croaker was really different.
Zhao Dahai took a stool and sat down. Fishing for large yellow croaker is different from fishing. The rhythm of black sea bream and yellow sea bream is faster. You have to throw the rod or reel in the line constantly. When fishing for large yellow croaker, you have to stick to it and throw the rod. Generally speaking, you have to wait twenty to thirty minutes before checking to see if the shrimp on the hook is dead. In addition, the number of large yellow croakers is relatively small, so it is impossible to pull wildly.
Zhao Dahai waited for half an hour, but there was no movement at all. He picked up a pole and pulled it gently. He felt that the live shrimp on the hook on the seabed jumped a little, and immediately put down the pole. The shrimp did not die. There is no need to put away the pole. I picked up the second pole and pulled it gently. I didn't feel the movement of the live shrimp. I pulled it twice more gently, but still didn't feel the movement of the shrimp. When I put it away, I saw that the shrimp had already moved. If it dies, I immediately switch to another pole and cast it again in the same position. There is no problem with the third pole. I just pulled it slightly and I immediately felt that the live shrimps on the seabed were jumping around and full of energy.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and in a blink of an eye it is almost twelve o'clock in the evening. Zhao Dahai checked the poles again to make sure that the shrimps hanging on each pole were alive. He sat down and continued to wait. The big yellow croaker was like this. It was very torturous. He didn’t know when the fish would come. He had to wait all the time. Staring constantly without being distracted is very exhausting.
One o'clock in the morning.
The sea breeze is getting colder and colder.
Zhao Dahai shivered. He was a little sleepy at first, but he immediately became energetic. He took out his lunch box and started to eat. While eating, his eyes swept around the tip of the fishing rod placed on the boat from time to time. At the beginning, there were three fishing rods and now there are six fishing rods. All the fishing rods can be placed in all directions of the fishing boat. I don’t know if there are fish or where there are fish. I can only cover them all. Let’s just do a “newbie’s placement” Street stalls”.
Coming?
Coming!
Zhao Dahai kept watch for half the night, but there was no movement at all. As soon as he took out his lunch box to eat, there was movement on the pole. At this time, he couldn't care about eating. He picked up the pole, widened his eyes, and died by the light of the gas lamp. Staring at the tip of the pole, he stopped for a moment and then immediately moved again.
Zhao Dahai didn't hesitate at all, and immediately raised the pole to stab the fish. The big yellow croaker is very alert when eating bait and has a very tricky mouth. Once the bait is eaten, he immediately raises the pole to stab the fish, leaving the line alone and seizing the opportunity.
Win!
The moment Zhao Dahai raised the pole, the line was straightened directly. He was very heavy-handed. There was a fish on the hook. He immediately took up the line. The water was not too deep. After a while, he pulled the fish out of the water. Under the light, it looked golden and hanging. The fish mouth of the hook is bright red.
Big yellow croaker!
Zhao Dahai was very excited. After watching for half a night, the fish finally came, and it was a large yellow croaker. He quickly took the net and picked up the fish. He unhooked and swept the remaining poles. , the tip of a rod on the left moved.
Dry!
No way?
A group of people! ?
Zhao Dahai ignored the large yellow croaker in the net and immediately picked up the pole. As soon as he picked it up, the tip of the pole shook a few more times. He simply raised the pole directly and controlled it to pull the fish out of the water. It was a large yellow croaker. As soon as the net was lifted, the pole on the right hand side shook a few times. I put down the net, picked up the pole, raised it again, and hit another fish.
Zhao Dahai caught the fish and stared at the remaining pole for a long time. There was no movement. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't come, he would have caught three fish in a row. He didn't have time to breathe. The clothes on the back were soaked directly.
Only then did Zhao Dahai have time to deal with the fish he had caught. The three fish were about two pounds in size and were all golden in color. They kept screaming "guk guk guk". Many fish in the sea would hear such a cry. The most common ones were long ones. It is a bit similar to the yellow croaker and spring fish, but the cry of the big yellow croaker is clearer, like the oriole, which is very nice.
Zhao Dahai took the red plastic bag that he had prepared earlier and carefully wrapped the large yellow croaker. The tail and fins of the fish were all straightened. He opened the refrigerator, smoothed the ice at the bottom, put it down and arranged it on top. Cover it with a thin layer of ice, press it gently with your hands for a while, wait until the fish doesn't move and release it, then close the refrigerator to ensure the perfect size and appearance of the large yellow croaker.
Zhao Dahai looked at the tip of the pole while arranging the large yellow croakers. However, until the three large yellow croakers were sorted, the remaining three poles remained motionless.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while, put all the remaining three rods up, and checked that the three shrimps were dead. He shook his head. If they were all alive, he might have just had the opportunity to catch one more. Two, large yellow croakers hunt in groups and will not eat the dead shrimps. The remaining fish may go elsewhere.
Zhao Dahai immediately changed the shrimps and carefully hung them on the shrimp gun and threw them out. However, this time they were not scattered but concentrated at the place where they had just been caught. The three fish were all in almost the same place. This was extremely It may be a feeding route for large yellow croakers.
Zhao Dahai waited for a full hour, but there was no movement. He picked up the rice that he had no time to eat just now to fill his stomach.
Four o'clock in the morning.
The wind on the sea is getting stronger and stronger.
Zhao Dahai shivered a little from the cold.
Is it time to go back?
There won't be any fish, right?
Zhao Dahai raised his head and looked at the sky. It was a little dark, but it had begun to gradually become lighter. The sky lit up earlier on the sea. In another hour or even half an hour, the sky gradually became brighter.
Zhao Dahai stood up and flexed his hands and feet. The last time he caught a fish was a few hours ago. He had been sitting there and looking at several fishing rods with his eyes wide open. It was cold and tiring at the tip of the pole, but it was all worth it. I caught three large yellow croakers of good size and made a small fortune.
Zhao Dahai walked back and forth five or six times on the deck. There were no fish for several hours. It was almost dawn. Maybe other fishing boats would see him fishing here, even though he didn’t know what kind of fish he was catching. , but after keeping watch all night, I knew that there must be valuable fish. If you fish in other places, you don’t have to worry, but this is the place to catch large yellow croaker.
Zhao Dahai thought for a while and decided to put away his fishing rod and go home. He would rather fish less than let others know. He made up his mind and bent down and picked up a fishing rod from the bow of the boat.
ah?
No way? Is the fish coming again?
Zhao Dahai was stunned for a moment. When he just picked up the fishing rod, the tip of the fishing rod shook slightly.
Hands shaking?
Wave in the sea?
Or are there really fish?
Do you want someone to raise the pole?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Zhao Dahai's mind in an instant, and he immediately raised his pole without wasting any time.
In!
Big!
Zhao Dahai immediately felt that the hooked fish was very big, and the fishing rod immediately changed its bow.
Five or six pounds!
Zhao Dahai didn’t expect such a big surprise when he was ready to stop and go home.
The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?
No!
For large yellow croakers, the bigger the fish, the more expensive it is!
Zhao Dahai controlled the rod carefully, using a soft rod and a thin line to catch the big fish. He was extremely careful not to be careless.
More than that!
Definitely more than five or six pounds?
Zhao Dahai pulled for five or six minutes, but the fish did not come out of the water at all and was very nervous. As long as it exceeds one kilogram, it is already very valuable. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is. For large yellow croakers of more than two or three kilograms, the weight only needs to be different. One tael, the price will be a different level. I originally thought it would only be five or six kilograms, but the bigger it gets, the heavier it gets.
what to do?
Zhao Dahai regretted that he used such a soft pole and such a thin line. He thought that the big yellow croaker he could catch here was only one and a half pounds, and it would not exceed two pounds if he died. The sky was falling. I never thought I could catch such a big fish.
Zhao Dahai didn’t dare to take a breath. He was worried that the fishing line would break if he took a breath. His face turned red from holding in his breath. He controlled the fishing rod more carefully, stood firm, and took a good look, then he reeled in one or two meters of line. .
Zhao Dahai spent almost twenty minutes, panting and his hands aching, to finally pull the fish out of the water.
Do it!
Is this ten pounds?
Zhao Dahai suddenly widened his eyes and became even more nervous.
Ten pounds of large yellow croaker?
How much can this be sold for?
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and controlled the fishing rod more carefully. The fish was already visible when it was pulled out of the water. At this time, he couldn't accept it if it decoupled or broke the line and ran away, so he slowly pulled it to the side of the fishing boat. , holding the fishing rod with his left hand and pulling it to his left rear, and holding the net to catch the fish with his right hand. Watching the fish head slowly get into the net, it felt like a century had passed.
Zhao Dahai held the net and stood beside the boat. He took a few deep breaths and calmed down before carrying the fish onto the fishing boat. He didn't care about handling the big yellow croaker he had just caught, and put away all the fish in a hurry. Take the fishing rod, pull up the anchor, and leave immediately. You might be able to catch something if you keep guarding, but this place must not be known to others.
Zhao Dahai drove for a full mile or two before stopping the fishing boat.
Ten pounds!
Absolutely ten pounds!
Zhao Dahai picked up the net that was soaked in the live cabin and weighed it. The large yellow croaker he caught when he reeled in the pole must have weighed more than ten kilograms. He took several deep breaths to calm down. But it didn't work, so I just ignored it and immediately took a red plastic bag and carefully wrapped it, especially the fins and tail of the fish, and put it in the refrigerator, covered it with ice, and closed the lid.
Zhao Dahai was completely exhausted and sat directly on the deck. He couldn't care less about the sea water. He rested for almost an hour until the sun rose and his face turned red. Then he stood up and drove the fishing boat to the village pier.
Zhao Dahai drove his fishing boat, the sun was rising, and the sea breeze was blowing in his face. He rode the wind and waves, raised his neck, and was so proud that he couldn't help but start to wonder how much these fish could be sold for.
