MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 213 Masu Tuna (7K)
Chapter 213 Masu Tuna (7K)
After a short while, Chu Mingcheng's first fish was finally pulled to the surface.
The color distribution of this fish is very interesting. There are four to five short brown horizontal bands on the back of the body. The body is white with spots, but the mouth, fins and tail are yellow.
Such a unique fish, Chu Mingcheng, naturally recognized it immediately. This is a very rare emperor star spot, and the market price has reached five hundred and one catties.
Of course, this price cannot be reached in Qiongzhou.
Because the resources are good enough, fish that are rarely seen in other areas may not be the case in Qiongzhou.
This grouper is the second largest fish among the spiny perch, with an adult body length of up to 1.2 meters.
The one that Chu Mingcheng caught was very big, nearly one meter by visual inspection, and the weight should be around 30 catties.
The body of this fish is relatively slender, so the weight is not as good as that of the blue-spotted tiger-spotted fish of the same length.
"I'm going to make it so big?" Zhang Wei and Chen Yang complained together, and they had nothing to say about Chu Mingcheng always getting big and good goods.
"This is fate, you won't be envious." Chu Mingcheng smiled and handed the fish to the boatman, telling him to take it to the refrigerated cabin to keep it.
The price of cryogenically frozen emperor star spots will be much lower, but with that weight, it is still no problem to sell it for two hundred and one catties.
The price is not as high as that of live fish. There is no way to do it. The Emperor Star Spot caught from the deep sea has already vomited his stomach to his mouth.
Seeing that Chu Mingcheng has gained such a big harvest, the rest of the people are not interested in chatting, and they all pay attention to their fishing rods, hoping to have such a good harvest.
The people on the boat and the fishing friends next to them didn’t know that only the fish population below Chuming City had the highest density at the moment.
If someone goes to the cockpit to look at the fish finder, they will find that the fish are more concentrated on the rear deck.
Among a hundred fish, there must be a dozen or so fish that are attracted by the hooks at Chuming City, and the fish that are attracted are the larger ones.
In addition, the function of gathering fish is continuous. If there are new passing fish appearing within the range of influence, there will be a one-tenth chance of being attracted, which will lead to more and more fish gathering.
This also allowed the fishing people around Chu Mingcheng to enjoy this benefit, and the harvest tonight was also very good.
Not only Zhang Wei and others, but also strange fishing friends who are not far from them, also got some benefits tonight, deep-sea fish can be caught from time to time, and it is estimated that they can get back a lot of money.
Han Baola always had the joy of harvest on her face. When was she so rich?
She usually likes to play lures, but what about lures?
Not every day, the Air Force counts her as a good fishing spot.
In the morning and afternoon, she actually caught fish for a while, but the harvest was very poor, and she only caught three fish in one day.
But she never expected that at night, because of Zhang Wei's invitation, she went fishing beside her, and caught nearly 50 catties of deep-sea fish in just two hours.
"Mingcheng Ouba, do you know that there are a lot of fish in this location, is there any skill in finding fishing spots?"
Being suddenly called Ouba, Chu Mingcheng was also taken aback, but thinking that she first called Sister Jiang Luoluo, and then changed it to O'Ni, she didn't take this name seriously.
After all, she is from the peninsula, and it is not surprising that she is more used to speaking her own language.
"How can there be any skill here? Ask the boatman what water layer has fish, and then fish in this water layer?"
"But I also asked during the day, but I only caught three fish all day."
"That's different. Most deep-sea fish like to be active at night, and this time period is the peak time for them to feed. It is not surprising that the speed of fish feeding is fast."
"That's it!" Han Bora nodded, but in fact she didn't get any useful information.
She has a deep understanding of lures, and she has enough equipment, so she knows when the fish mouth will be better.
Before she came to Nansha to fish, she also found a lot of strategies and watched a lot of videos, but these seemed to be more metaphysical, and there were not many that could help her.
This meeting met a few fishing guys, so she naturally wanted to learn more from her.
After Chu Mingcheng continued fishing for a while, he decided to take out the big electric twisting rod and replace it with the smaller one.
Because of the continuous attraction of the fish-gathering function, the fish gathered around his bait are not small in size.
In this case, the efficiency of the small electric twisting pole is relatively slow, which is not easy to use.
When he switched to a large electric twisting pole, the efficiency was directly raised to a new level, and a fish weighing more than ten catties could be pulled to the surface in almost a short while.
Currently, he has caught more than one hundred catties of fish. As before, the harvest is still more than twice that of the people nearby.
At this moment, surprise cheers suddenly came from not far from him.
He looked up, but saw two boatmen using a crane to pull up a large grouper of nearly one meter. The important thing is that this large grouper is the seven-banded grouper he has been thinking about.
Chu Mingcheng saw that the other party was using a bomb fish about 30 centimeters in length, so he immediately had a plan in mind.
He ordered the boatman to bring him two identical bomb fish, then took back the fishing line, replaced the sub-line and hook, and prepared to fight big fish.
The boatman quickly brought two bomb fish. Jiang Luoluo and the others knew what he was going to do, but they didn't blindly follow suit.
The main reason is that the current fish situation is good, and they can catch deep-sea fish from time to time.
Following the wind and fighting big fish depends on luck. If you are unlucky and miss the fish situation at this meeting, the gain will not be worth the loss.
That is to say, Chu Mingcheng's current harvest is not bad, and his luck has always been good, so he thinks about fighting for big things.
Hang up the bomb fish and throw the fish into the water. Driven by the weight of the lead pendant and bait, the fishing line is released quickly.
When the number displayed on the screen reached 80, Chu Mingcheng closed the thread cup and locked it to release the force.
A 30-centimeter bomb fish immediately excludes the fish whose bottom mouth is not big enough.
Because of the function of gathering fish, they have been spinning back and forth next to the bait.
Some ferocious groupers even try to bite the bait with their sharp teeth, resulting in pits and pits on the bomb fish.
At this moment, the school of fish that had gathered at the bait suddenly dispersed in panic.
The next moment, a big fat fish swam at high speed and swallowed the bomb fish in one bite.
The impact of this big fish was so strong that the fishing rod on the boat immediately bent into a big bow.
"Damn, is there really a big deal?" Zhang Wei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. It took only five or six minutes to get the big deal? It made him suddenly want to fight big with small things.
Chu Mingcheng also reacted very quickly. When the fishing rod was bent down, he immediately raised the rod to stab the fish, but he couldn't move it too much. The fish was much bigger than he imagined.
Press the button, and as expected, the fishing line doesn't move much.
In this case, it is impossible to rely on the electric reel to retrieve the fishing line. The electric reel may overheat and burn out if it is overloaded.
So Chu Mingcheng can only grab the handle, turn off the electric winch when it gets hot, and then manually take up the line.
"It doesn't feel like grouper, but tuna."
The fishing line could not be retracted, and the electric reel was pulled out continuously after it stopped, making Chu Mingcheng guess that the grouper was definitely not the one who took the bait at the bottom of the water.
After all, large groupers don’t have the speed to pull the fishing line so fast.
"Tuna?" The eyes of the people next to them lit up. Tuna generally likes group activities. If it is tuna, doesn't it mean that they also have a chance to catch it?
So Jiang Luoluo and the others immediately took back the fishing line, replaced the sub-line and hook, and asked the boatman for a bomb fish to catch a tuna.
Chu Mingcheng focused on the fishing line, observing the condition of the fishing line.
At this time, the fish should start to run around, the fishing rod turns to the right, and the fishing line is also pulled to the right.
His position is not at the corner of the stern. Fish running to the right can easily cause the fishing line to become entangled with other people’s lines, thus cutting the line.
"Let's go, let's go~"
Chu Mingcheng resolutely loosened most of the unloading force, and took out the fishing rod from the fishing hole. Then, before the fish had run completely to the right, he hurriedly held up the fishing rod to borrow a way and came to the stern of the boat.
The corner of the stern is in a good position, so there are people there. After coming here, he can only lean to the side to avoid being hindered.
It's just that there is no fishing hole here, so he can only hold a heavy fishing rod and electric reel, fighting with the big fish in the water.
After standing up, he locked the unloading force again.
"嗖~"
"Ouch~"
It's just that he underestimated the strength of the fish, and the moment the lock was released, Chu Mingcheng hit the side of the boat with a "bang".
The fish is the most powerful when it explodes in the first round. Even with his current physical fitness, he still couldn't fight, so after he stabilized, he quickly adjusted the level to release his strength and relax a little.
Chu Mingcheng felt relieved as the thread cup squeaked and let the thread go out.
Jiang Luoluo was really worried about the situation on his side, afraid that he would need help and there was no one around, so she didn't throw the bomb fish into the water, but ran over to watch the battle first, to see if there was anything she needed to help.
But Chu Mingcheng does not need other people's help at the moment. He is holding a thick fishing rod in his arms, even if he loosens his strength, he is still being pulled.
He tried to use his hips against the side of the boat, leaned his upper body back, grabbed the handle and pressed it hard, trying to take up the line, but he couldn't shake it.
Before, the 800-jin swordfish was dealt with, but this time the tuna, which is estimated to be 300-400 jin, was so difficult to deal with.
However, Swordfish is using a trick. The fishing rod is placed in the fishing hole, and the center of gravity is on the boat.
And after chasing the fish for more than an hour, he himself grabbed the handle and confronted the fish, so naturally it was not as difficult as it is now.
Later, while the fish was resting, I boarded the rubber boat, and I also did not rely on myself to fight the fish head-on.
The conditions here today are relatively poor, and the electric winch cannot be pulled, so he can only go into battle by himself and face this big fish.
Therefore, it is very good to be able to maintain the situation. If you want to pull the fish back with strength, even the world weightlifting champion can't do it.
Jiang Luoluo stood aside and didn't know what to do. After a while, she noticed that Chu Mingcheng's lips were dry, and immediately knew what she should do.
She hurried to buy a bottle of mineral water, opened the bottle cap and carefully handed it to his mouth: "Ah Cheng, come, drink some water."
Chu Mingcheng's mouth was dry, and he planned to ask her to help feed him with water, but he didn't expect her to react so quickly.
After taking two sips, my mouth and throat became moist and I immediately felt much more comfortable.
"Would you like something to eat?" It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and it's basically an hour before we can have supper.
But Chu Mingcheng is good at catching big fish, and the consumption should be faster. Jiang Luoluo was also afraid that he would be hungry, so he asked aloud.
"No, I will call you later!"
"Well, I'm right there, call me if you need help!"
"Row!"
Chu Mingcheng recovered after drinking the water. He shook the handle vigorously, resisting the pull from the giant monster in the deep sea.
The hard boat pole is still in the state of a big bow, and the "creaking" sound is endless.
The Dali Ma line was collapsed and straightened, scrambling back and forth on the sea surface in a small range, causing ripples in small pieces of sea water.
Chu Mingcheng gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
Yu’s first wave of eruption still hasn’t passed, he can’t be discouraged yet, once he is discouraged, he can’t hold back at all.
Fortunately, whenever he couldn't hold on anymore, he would briefly turn on the electric winch to let it help out.
Another ten minutes passed, Chu Mingcheng's face was flushed, and the veins on his neck were bulging. Due to the long-term exertion, the contours of the muscles on his arms were very conspicuous.
Up to now, he has not even pulled back the one-meter line. The good news is that the fish has not pulled out the line much. The two sides have always been in a state of balance.
At this moment, the pulling force on the fishing line obviously changed. The tight fishing line swayed from side to side with the tip of the rod bent into a bow, and even Chu Mingcheng's body began to shake slightly.
Through the experience of catching big fish several times, Chu Mingcheng knew that it was a fish shaking its head and washing its gills at the bottom of the water, trying to spit out the hook.
At that time, swordfish fishing also had the same situation. Swordfish would jump out of the water and shake their heads to wash their gills, and people who could pull them would shake them.
It's just that Swordfish was at a closer distance, so the feeling was more obvious.
This big fish was more than two hundred meters away from him, and his performance was not that strong.
"drink~"
Chu Mingcheng was angry at his dantian, and pulled hard. The fishhook that was slightly loose broke into the flesh of the fish's mouth again, deeper than before, and immediately shattered the big fish's escape plan.
Washing the gills of the fish may not be able to spit out the hook. Fishermen who often swim in the open sea are generally experienced.
Many fish managed to escape only after breaking the fishing line. During this process, the hook was always in the fish’s mouth and could not fall off until it was naturally decomposed by seawater.
But fishermen will not block this possibility, no one can be sure whether the fish will spit out the hook, and the feeling of running a fish is not good, especially this kind of deep-sea monster.
Some people fly every day, or only catch small fish.
Then they are eager to catch big fish themselves, and they will say "let me catch a big fish, even if it runs away, it's okay, I just want to feel the taste of catching a big fish."
But if he really wanted to let him catch a big fish and run away, he would probably be so angry that he would break the fishing rod on the spot, yes, it would be broken.
After another ten minutes or so, the big fish at the bottom still showed no signs of getting tired, but Chu Mingcheng couldn't take it anymore.
With his current physical strength, it would be no problem to carry Jiang Luoluo up the mountain for ten minutes, but in the end he couldn't fight a fish.
Fortunately, there are many life transformations, so he used it once immediately.
The instant recovery of physical strength shocked him, and his sore arms and waist immediately felt a lot easier.
He feels better here, but some fishermen next to him can't help but look at his waist from time to time.
"This brother is a fool. Seeing that the pole is bent into such a virtue, it must be a big fish. It turns out that it has been almost half an hour now, and he can still persist."
"I'm envious of having such a good waist. If I had such a waist, why would I need to go to Nansha to recuperate for a month, and clean up that **** at home in minutes."
"It's no wonder this brother's wife is so radiant, can she not be moisturized with this waist?"
"This is a mistake. Judging from my many years of experience, this beauty is still a young girl. I think that brother can persist for so long, it should be because of the full-level waist, the essence is still there."
"Convex (她盘哉), such a beautiful girl is not eaten, is this the highest level of a fisherman?"
"Understood, whoever wants my mother-in-law, I want to raise my waist for three years, and then I will also single out the deep-sea giant beast!"
"Convex (艹盘艹), who do you look down on? Labor and management don't need to raise their waists to fight for big things? What kind of woman does a fisherman want?"
The lively discussion next to him will not affect Chu Mingcheng, and it will not be much easier for him who has used a life transformation.
The recovery of physical strength does not mean that the big fish's physical strength will weaken now, it is still so vigorous.
At this moment, Chen Yang, who had never caught a big fish, also came over to join in the fun.
Zhang Wei rubbed his hands, came to Chu Mingcheng and said, "Ah Cheng, are you tired, how about I take over?"
Chu Mingcheng glanced at him: "Are you sure?"
Actually, he already felt a little hungry, and wanted Jiang Luoluo to feed him some chocolate to replenish his energy.
The energy of the body cannot be provided by life transformation, and needs to be replenished by him.
Since Zhang Wei is going to relay, he is actually quite happy.
"Of course, leave it to me. I'll pull this fish up for you." Zhang Wei patted his chest with confidence.
"Okay, you help me for a while, I'll eat something." Chu Mingcheng asked him to come over and grab the fishing rod first.
He didn't dare to let go all of a sudden, lest Zhang Wei be caught off guard and lose his grip on the fishing rod and be pulled into the water by the fish.
He gave up his position little by little, and at the same time slowly handed the fishing rod into his arms.
Zhang Wei grabbed the fishing rod, felt the huge pulling force, and looked excited: "Fuck, this is so exciting!"
"Steady, the fish is very strong, I'm going to let it go slowly."
"Don't worry, you just let go."
"Don't be careless, this fish is quite big and has strong pulling power."
Seeing him like this, Chu Mingcheng felt a little worried to be honest, and he still didn't let go of his hand completely.
Zhang Wei adapted to the huge pulling force coming from the fishing rod, and felt that there was no problem, and said again: "You let go, I can do it."
"Okay, you paid attention, I let go." Chu Mingcheng confirmed that he was ready, and then let go of the fishing rod to make room.
"Boom~"
"Ouch!"
Zhang Wei never expected that the pulling force of the fish would be so strong after Chu Mingcheng completely let go, and he was caught off guard by being pulled forward and slammed into the ship's side hard.
"Can you do it?"
Chu Mingcheng was taken aback, and quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes.
Fortunately, he was already on the side of the boat, but he stabilized his body.
"I can do it." Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, trying to hold the fishing rod and hold down the handle.
But the handle that was originally controlled by Chu Mingcheng will be a little bit straighter, turning at an extremely slow speed.
It wasn't that he successfully retracted the line, but that he couldn't control the handle, and the fishing line was pulled out little by little by the fish.
"Can you do it, dog?" Chen Yang also noticed this, and immediately sneered.
"Fuck, you can do it!" Zhang Wei couldn't stop the fishing line from being pulled out, but he could barely speak.
"You hold on for ten minutes, and I'll show you what a real man is, a little dog." Chen Yang chuckled, playing a trick.
Chu Mingcheng had been wrestling with the fish for nearly half an hour just now, if Zhang Wei continued to persist for ten minutes, he felt that the first wave of the fish's outbreak would have passed.
When he takes over, not to mention that he can easily handle the big fish at the bottom, but it will not be so difficult.
Zhang Wei didn't have the mood to pay attention to him now. Within two minutes, his face was already flushed red, and his breathing gradually became heavy.
Even with the stimulation of adrenaline, he found that he still couldn't last long.
Chu Mingcheng naturally knew his situation, so he would take the chocolate handed by Jiang Luoluo and eat it quickly to recover some energy first.
Just five minutes later, Zhang Wei immediately yelled: "Damn, I can't hold on any longer, any of you hurry up and take over."
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Chen Yang also wanted to experience the feeling of fighting a giant deep-sea beast, so he wanted to take the fishing rod from Zhang Wei.
Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng hurried over to help, lest the fish would take the opportunity to run away when the two handed over the fishing rods.
Zhang Weineng took over the fishing rod from him because he was careful enough and took on most of the pressure.
Finally, with his help, Chen Yang also successfully took over the fishing rod.
As soon as he took over, he knew how much pressure Zhang Wei was under.
Originally, he wanted to laugh at the other party for only persisting for five minutes, but he didn't expect to be the one who miscalculated. He suspected that he would not be able to persist for five minutes.
Compared with Zhang Wei, his physical fitness is worse, and his body has always been in a sub-healthy state.
Since he learned fishing and hunting, he has improved a little, but the improvement of his physical fitness requires a long-term exercise process, and he is not very good at the moment.
At the same time, after taking over the fishing rod, he realized how strong Chu Mingcheng's physical fitness is.
After pulling for nearly half an hour, he still had enough strength, which made him very surprised how the other party exercised and how his physical fitness improved so quickly.
"Can you do it, dog!" While he was wondering, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Zhang Wei.
At the same time, his face darkened, and Chen Yang decided that even if he collapsed, he had to persist for six minutes.
However, this was not something he could persevere if he wanted to. After three minutes, Chu Mingcheng noticed that he had started to fight, so he immediately went forward to take the fishing rod from him.
"Go and have a good rest, and leave the rest to me!"
After being taken over the fishing rod, Chen Yang let out his pent-up breath immediately.
He no longer tried to be brave, and came to the side to rest panting heavily.
Han Baola held two bottles of water in her hand, and she had already handed one to Zhang Wei just now, seeing him like this, she also handed over a bottle of water: "Drink some water and rest!"
"Thank you!" Chen Yang took the water and poured it out to thank him. He wanted to open the bottle cap, but found that his hands were trembling and he couldn't use his strength.
Han Baola was a little amused seeing this, reached out to get back the water, and then helped open the bottle cap.
She also noticed that Chen Yang's physical fitness was worse, at least Zhang Wei persisted longer, and he could open the bottle cap by himself.
Chu Mingcheng continued to concentrate on fishing. After taking over this time, it took another ten minutes before the first round of the big fish's outburst was completely over.
After the first round, the next round will not be so difficult, but it will enter a long stalemate.
Jiang Luoluo drove Zhang Wei and the others back and asked them to continue fishing, while he did what he could do next to Chu Ming City, such as wiping his sweat and feeding water.
Until nearly twelve o'clock, a fat tuna was pulled to the surface and appeared in front of everyone.
A fishing friend who recognized this tuna immediately envied him: "Masu tuna is still this big, isn't this person lucky?"
Immediately, a fishing friend interfaced: "Others have strength, but you may not be able to pull it up, and the possibility of running the fish is even greater."
This is quite true. The envious fishing friend nodded and admitted: "If I hold the fishing rod like this, the fish will probably run away. This item weighs at least 350 catties, which is normal. At least three people need to take turns to catch it."
While they were discussing, Chu Mingcheng had already handed over the fishing rod to Jiang Luoluo, asking her to pull the fish.
I brought a spear gun specially for hunting tuna, aimed at the tuna, raised my hand and stabbed the spear gun out fiercely.
The speargun is like a javelin, and it pierces the fish with a "pop".
Blood immediately stained the surface of the water red. The Masu tuna was fatally wounded, and its tail swung at a very high speed.
But Jiang Luoluo held it with a fishing rod, and Chu Mingcheng also held the speargun rope in his hand, so that he could only swim back and forth on the water surface, waiting for the life to disappear completely.
After about ten minutes, the Masu tuna stopped moving.
The boatman had already stood by and waited. After the fish stopped moving, he tied the tail with a rope, pulled the fish to the crane, and hoisted the fish up with the crane.
On the first day of arriving in Nansha, a Masu tuna weighing more than 300 catties and suspected to be 400 catties appeared, and the captain was immediately alarmed.
As for Chu Mingcheng, he was quite impressed.
Before the trip to Xisha, he caught the two biggest fish on the boat.
Relying on those photos, he also fooled many customers.
It was only the first day in Nansha, and Chu Mingcheng caught another super-large Masu tuna.
Masu tuna is southern bluefin tuna. As long as it is bluefin tuna, the price will definitely not be cheap, and the bigger the more expensive.
Tuna needs to be bled and gutted, so this Masu tuna was bled and disemboweled immediately by Chu Mingcheng, and all the internal organs were fished out.
After everything was processed, the boatman stepped forward to help measure the length and weigh it.
The length of the fish is 2.32 meters, which is definitely the oldest fish in Masu tuna.
Masu tuna can reach a maximum of 2.5 meters, but it is rare to grow to this length, and it is even more rare.
The weight of this fish was 373 catties after removing the blood and viscera.
In other words, the original weight of this fish must have exceeded four hundred catties, almost reaching the limit of Masu tuna.
But this fish looks very fat alone, and it is not surprising to reach this weight.
"Unfortunately, the price of masu tuna has dropped a lot now. Although yours has reached the auction level, the price is at least one-third lower than the previous few years." The captain sighed after seeing the weight of the fish. .
"Then how much can this fish be sold for?" Chu Mingcheng didn't know the market of Masu tuna, so seeing that the captain knew it well, he asked.
The first chapter is 6k, the second chapter is 7k, adding up to the usual 4 chapters.
