231. Harbour Night (eighth)
231. Harbour Night
There was no need for Qin Shiou to continue to control the big bluefin tuna and chased the bait scattered around him. The big fish wandered up greedily.
The fishing boat's sonar fish detector made a sharp scream. Qin Shiou looked on the screen, and the sea monster pointed out to him: "Look, the green pattern is the image reflected from the sonar. The underground layer is the seabed, and this curved image is a tuna!"
"It may also be a shark." Qin Shiou smiled.
The sea monster shook his head and said, "The rookie cannot tell the difference between a shark and a bluefin tuna, but the veteran can see it at a glance. Looking at its swimming trajectory and its swimming speed, the shark will not shake left and right so cunningly, it will rush up to eat the bait. But the shark will not be so fast, and the speed can be so fast, it is a tuna!"
Shaq hung the live bait on the hook and threw it down, murmured, "Come on, man, come on my boat quickly. I have bought you a flight ticket to Japan. I wish you a pleasant journey!"
Live fish are even more tempting to tuna. Seeing the Atlantic herring struggling in the sea, the bluefin tuna no longer hesitated, rushed up like an arrow from the string, opened its mouth wide, swallowing the herring into its mouth.
The bait took the hook into the big mouth of the bluefin tuna. As the big fish swam, the hook fell out of the herring's mouth and got stuck in the tuna's mouth. The fishing line was tied into the gills of the tuna - it was hooked!
The fishing rod wheel rotated rapidly, and the main line of half the thickness of disposable chopsticks was quickly pulled out, and the fishing rod inevitably bent.
Shaq held down the wheel seat, staring at the sea surface intently and shouted: "Sea monster, bring the damn harpoon and come out quickly! Boss. Come and drive the boat, listen to me, and let the fishing boat go back..."
The fishing line was strangled into the gills, and the bluefin tuna was struggling in the water with pain. The sea monster picked up the harpoon and waited on the side. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Qin Shiou: "Before fish were caught on the deck, everything did not count. Even if the tuna bites the hook, the decoupling rate was 60%!"
Shaq is an old fisherman and will not make low-level mistakes. He stretches the fishing line to an appropriate level. He constantly directs Qin Shiou to operate the fishing boat and keeps the same forward or backward lines as tuna, so that it can't break free from the hook.
It took more than half an hour before the tuna became tired, but it still wanted to give it a try and seize the opportunity and drilled to the bottom of the boat.
The tiger and leopard who were waiting by the side of the boat suddenly closed their ears. They jumped up and jumped into the water, blocking the water at the bottom of the boat.
The tuna was frightened and hurriedly retreated. Shakli shouted, and suddenly retracted the fishing line and pulled the tuna to the side of the boat.
The sea monster shouted: "Boss, now is the second test, look at my spear..."
His right arm muscles bulged like rocks, and he shouted and shot his spear into the water. He was in the position of the gills exposed by the tuna.
Suddenly, blood erupted and was hit hard. The vitality of the bluefin tuna was sharply reduced.
A rope was tied to the end of the spear gun, and the sea monster quickly retracted the rope and pulled the tuna with the spear gun.
Bluefin tuna has a characteristic that makes them easy to catch, that is, they habitually lift their tails after being exposed to the water. Their purpose is to swing their tails to hit the enemy, but in this way, people will often be seized to cover their tails with ropes.
The group took photos with the fish. When Ivosen took the photo, he happily held the fish. He must have thought it was dinner tonight, but unfortunately, everything was disappointing him.
The reason why bluefin tuna is precious is its rarity. Qin Shiou and his group never encountered the fish after they caught it.
Of course, Qin Shiou controlled a big fish. This fish was soaring wildly under the sea. He must have encountered more than ten of them, but they were small in size and the largest one was more than one meter long. Qin Shiou didn't want to catch such a small thing.
Besides, it would be too abnormal to catch too many bluefin tunas in a row. It would be better to be low-key when you first came.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high in the sky, and Qin Shiou and others were about to put away the fishing rod and leave.
George Shoal is a distance from the harbour, 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 ready to leave. They would not stay at sea overnight, because most of these boats were simple fishing boats and the reserved ice could not be kept for two days or longer.
As for bluefin tuna, it will have to bleed and chill once it gets caught. The fishermen all need to return to the harbor to replenish oil and ice.
It is along the way with these fishing boats. Qin Shiou's destination is also the territory of the Americans. Gloucester Port, because the Nova Scotia Peninsula is farther apart, and it is more than 60 kilometers. This is an hour's voyage, which consumes more time and wastes fuel.
The trawling yacht has a large horsepower and a strong hull, so it naturally moves faster. Although Qin Shiou and others left the last, they entered the port almost at the same time as the ships that left early.
Gloucester Port is now the world of fishing boats. Trawling fishing boats and seine fishing boats are rare. Fishing boats of all sizes are scattered and scattered everywhere in the docks.
