231. Harbor night

  No need for Qin Shiou to continue to control the big bluefin tuna, chasing the bait scattered around, this big fish wandered greedily.

The sonar fish finder of the fishing boat made a sharp cry. Qin Shiou looked on the screen, and the sea monster pointed to him: "Look, the green pattern is the image reflected by the sonar. The underground layer is the bottom of the sea. This curved The image is a tuna!"

  "It may also be a shark." Qin Shiou laughed.

The sea monster shook his head and said: "The rookie can’t tell the difference between a shark and a bluefin tuna, but a veteran can tell it at a glance. Look at its swimming trajectory and its swimming speed. The shark will not sway so cunningly. It will run rampant and come to eat the bait. But the shark will not be so fast, the speed can be so fast, it is tuna!"

Shaq hung the live bait on the hook and threw it down, and murmured: "Come on, man, come on my boat, I have 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 did not hesitate anymore. It rushed up like an arrow from the string, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the herring into its mouth.

The bait takes the hook into the big mouth of the bluefin tuna, so as the big fish swims, the hook falls off from the herring mouth and gets stuck in the tuna's mouth, and the fishing line is pulled into the tuna's gills-hooking Up!

  The fishing rod wheel seat quickly turned, and the main line half the thickness of the disposable chopsticks was quickly pulled out, and the fishing rod was inevitably bent.

  Shaq held the wheel seat, while looking at the sea intently, shouted: "Sea monster. Bring me the **** harpoon and come out quickly! BOSS, you can set the boat, listen to me, let the fishing boat go backward..."

   was struck into the gills by the fishing line. The bluefin tuna was struggling frantically in the water with painful eating. 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 is not counted. Even if the tuna bites the hook, The decoupling rate is also 60%!"

  Shaq is an old fisherman, who will not make low-level mistakes. He stretched the fishing line to an appropriate level, and constantly instructed Qin Shiou to operate the fishing boat and the tuna to maintain the same forward or backward line, so that it could not break free from the hook.

  It took more than half an hour before the tuna got tired, but it still wanted to give it a go. Seize the opportunity to go to the bottom of the ship.

  The ears of the tiger and leopard waiting beside the ship's side violently gathered, and jumped into the water, just blocking the water surface at the bottom of the ship.

  The tuna was frightened and hurried back. Shaker let out a stern scream and violently retracted the line, pulling the tuna to the side of the boat.

  The sea monster shouted: "BOSS, now is the second test. Look at my speargun..."

  His right arm muscles rose like a rock, and he screamed and shot the speargun fiercely into the water, centered on the gills exposed by the tuna.

   Suddenly, blood was sprayed out, and the vitality of the bluefin tuna was drastically reduced by the heavy blow.

   With a rope tied to the end of the speargun, the sea monster quickly retracted the rope and used the speargun to pull the tuna up.

  Bluefin tuna has a feature that makes them easy to catch, that is, they habitually lift their tails after they emerge from the water. Their purpose is to swing their tails and hit the enemy. But in this way, people often seize the opportunity to use a noose to wrap the tail.

  When the sea monster shot a bluefin tuna with a speargun. Shaq released his hand. He took the noose and lay on the side of the ship and waited. The bluefin tuna raised its tail and then put the noose on, so that the fish would fall into their pockets.

  When Shaq put a noose around the tuna's tail. The sea monster released the speargun and opened the stern gate. Pull up the tuna hard with Shaq.

  The two skillfully cooperated and showed Qin Shiou the beauty of fishing skills.

  Qin Shiou came out to look at this bluefin tuna. The whole body is fusiform, with a round body, and the curve is smooth and graceful, like water droplets. Its fins are darker blue and the back to belly are silver gray, which proves that it is an Atlantic bluefin tuna.

   caught this fish, Shaq entangled its tail on the crane and hung it up, while singing happily: "From-this-valley-they-say-youre-going,

  I-will-miss-your-bright-eyes-and-sweet-smile......"

  The sea monster soon sang with his voice: "For-theysayyoure-taking-the-sunshine, That-has-brightened-our-path-way-a-while......"

  Qin Shiou laughed and listened to the two singing. He was very familiar with this song. It can almost be said that this is the most widely circulated folk song in the world-"Red River Valley" in Canada.

This song mainly expresses that the residents of the northern Red River area cultivate wasteland, build homes, develop cities, and finally turn the wild ox-infested wasteland into a beautiful home. It sings the diligence of the laborers and the longing when building their homes. The fishermen would sing this song when they collect the catch and the farmers collect the grain.

   "BOSS, eat together, eat together!" Shaq said happily.

Without starting the crane, Ivorson directly stretched out his hand and dragged the rope back and lifted the fish. Shaq cut off the gills of the fish with a knife, and the sea monster cut 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. They were struggling and fleeing before. The blood temperature of the fish is relatively high. Now the fish is cold when it dies. This way, the blood will destroy the fish and make it produce lactic acid, which tastes like that. It's bad.

   Treated clean fish blood, Shaq measured it, and laughed: "Very good, 168 cm, a big guy, I guess if this fish has better meat quality, it will be fine to sell for 20,000 yuan."

   "I hope I can let it fly to Tokyo for auction, so the price will be inaccurate." The sea monster said with a smile.

  Shaq looked at the fish, shook his head and said, "This is good enough, the quality of this fish is average."

  Several people were commenting on this fish. On a few American ships in the distance, the crew members were watching Qin Shiou with their binoculars, and some people continued to curse in anguish:

   "Damn it, this Canadian rich guy is so lucky, he got a good fish as soon as he came."

   "Fak, doesn't even God like rich people? We have been out for a day, and we haven't caught a fish!"

   "That fish is really not small, if it should be mine, then I can go to Gloucester Harbor to find two beautiful girls to play with."

  The group of people took a group photo with the fish separately. Ivorson was holding the fish happily when taking pictures. He must have thought it was dinner tonight, but it was a pity that everything disappointed him.

  The reason why bluefin tuna is so valuable is its rarity. Qin Shiou and his team have never encountered any fish after they caught this fish.

Of course, Qin Shiou controls a big fish. This fish is racing on the bottom of the sea, and it will definitely meet the same species. They have encountered more than ten, but they are all relatively small, and the largest is more than one meter long. Qin Shiou does not want to catch such a small thing. .

  Furthermore, if you catch too many bluefin tuna in a row, it’s too abnormal. It’s better to keep a low profile at first.

  At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky, and Qin Shiou and others were about to put away their fishing rods and leave.

  George Shoal is some distance from the harbour. It takes more than three hours to drive back, so leave early.

  At the same time, the owners of several other boats also set sail and prepare to leave. They will not stay at sea overnight, because most of these boats are simple fishing boats, and the ice reserves cannot be kept for two days or longer.

  As for bluefin tuna, as soon as it catches it, it has to be bloodletted and iced. The fishermen all need to return to the harbour to replenish oil and ice.

   and these fishing boats are all the same way, Qin Shiou’s destination is also the American territory, Port Gloucester, because the Nova Scotia Peninsula is farther apart, more than 60 kilometers. This is an hour's voyage, which takes more time and wastes more fuel.

  The trawl yacht has high horsepower and sturdy hull, and naturally travels faster. This way, although Qin Shiou and others are the last to leave, they almost entered the port at the same time as the ships that left early.

  Now Gloucester Harbor is the world of fishing boats. Trawlers and purse seiners are rare. Fishing boats of all sizes are scattered everywhere, scattered everywhere in the dock.

  The fishermen are very familiar, even most of them are residents of Gloucester Harbor, so after returning to the pier, these people greeted each other, asked about the catch and made jokes. (To be continued~^~)
