My fishing game syncs with reality
Chapter 286 Fishing for Marlin
On the last day on the high seas, Gu Nan and Ye Jing each caught a lot of deep-sea fish.
Although the refrigerated compartment was not full, it was still fully loaded this time.
It has been several days since I went to sea this time. I will have a good rest after fishing for another day of large yellow croaker.
At this time, Gu Nan was driving the boat just into the East China Sea. It would take at least ten hours to drive to the fishing spot for large yellow croaker.
Ye Jing was tired from staying up late fishing for the past few days, so he simply went back to sleep and changed shifts with him when he woke up.
Fish marks appeared on the fish finder from time to time, which made Gu Nan quite speechless.
I was trying to find a school of fish, but the fish were nowhere to be seen. I was about to go back, but they would pop up from time to time.
If the plan hadn't been set and he didn't want to stay on the sea for too long, Gu Nan would have definitely stopped fishing.
However, after only twenty nautical miles, he stopped the Nanchen and jogged all the way to pull Ye Jing up from the bed.
"What happened? The ship sank?" Ye Jing ran out of the room in a daze, thinking something big had happened.
"Sister Shen, there are swarms of big fish found on the fish finder. This is to tell you to get up and make money."
"Schools of big fish? That's really a big deal!"
Ye Jing suddenly woke up when he heard that there was money to be made.
At this time, between thirty and fifty meters below the Nanchen, there was a very large school of small trevally.
If you enter the water, you will find that this school of fish can't be seen at all, covering the sky and the sun, with a radius of nearly half a mile.
Of course, this scale was much smaller than Gu Nan's previous encounters with sardines and mackerel.
That one is more exaggerated, but the two fish are different.
Whether it is sardines or mackerel, they are among the most abundant fish in the ocean, but trevally is not.
This is a small trevally similar to a pomfret, and its name is the white-tailed trevally.
The maximum length of this fish is only 28 centimeters, but it is generally only as big as a palm.
Mainly inhabits the continental shelf, with depths ranging from 20 meters to 120 meters underwater.
In addition to this small trevally, there are also other species of fish mixed in, becoming targets of various predators.
But that's not the point. After all, Gu Nan's is not a trawler, so their target is the big fish coming to prey.
Because he was underwater, he could not see the situation on the surface and did not attract the attention of seabirds.
If Gu Nan hadn't happened to pass by here and the underwater situation was discovered by the fish finder, he would have definitely missed it this time.
At this time, there are not only familiar tuna, but also sailfish, swordfish, marlin, shark, GT, red ganache, big rock bass, etc. on the bottom of the water. The species are very rich.
There are no whales, maybe there are no whales nearby.
At this scale, if a purse seiner or trawler is guaranteed to explode, it will definitely cost several million, but I am afraid that the ship cannot carry that much, or that the net cannot hold up and will be torn by the big fish.
Gu Nan just thought about it, building a fishing boat was just to cover up the cheating.
Otherwise, who is a serious fisherman to buy a fishing boat? He would hire at least seven or eight people to build a trawler and sail on the high seas.
Although Gu Nan couldn't see the specific conditions at the bottom of the water, he could roughly guess the scene at the bottom from the feedback from the fish finder.
He is experienced in fishing under such conditions.
Let Ye Jing go to the deck to prepare fishing rods and bait to lure big fish, while he drove the boat towards the edge of the fish school.
In a school of fish, it is too difficult to catch big fish, so you can only pick and miss them at the edges.
He had done this before. There were too many fish, and even if they missed just a few, it would be a good harvest for them.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
Because the fish were being chased by so many predators, they began to scatter. Many of them ran to the water in a panic and crashed into the bottom of the boat.
Ye Jing, who was cutting bait, ran to the side of the boat and took a look. Oh my god, there were fish all over the side of the boat.
Several black shadows flashed past, and he also saw three large fish chasing the fish, which looked very much like tuna.
However, this kind of trevally does not jump around like sardines. Even when they come to the water, they do not jump up to avoid being chased.
Maybe it's because of the deep-sea fish, they don't have that habit either.
Thinking that Gu Nan had caught a lot of small fish for bait by throwing the net before, Ye Jing's heart moved, and he quickly went to the cabin to get the throwing net, and cast it while the small fish ran to the surface of the water.
He twisted his waist to throw the net. Because the boat was still moving, the net didn't sink completely to the bottom. He pulled it up because the other end of the rope was pulled by him.
Ye Jing's face darkened. He didn't consider that the boat was moving, so it would be useless to throw the net. He almost made himself stupid.
He quickly pulled the cast net back, and when he pulled it in, there were actually a few small fish, which looked just like pomfrets. This was an unexpected surprise.
Ye Jing originally thought it was a group of silver pomfret, but when the net was pulled up and the fish was taken out, he discovered the difference between the two. The fish was slightly longer.
This look reminded him of a trevally. Although he didn't know what it was exactly, he could probably tell the type.
The fish looked pretty good, so Ye Jing simply put it away and wouldn't use it as bait for the time being.
After a while, the fishing boat turned around and stopped at the edge of the fish school.
Gu Nan came to the deck and saw that Ye Jing had already prepared the bait, so he took some to make a nest and tried to attract some big fish.
At least let them know that there is food here.
Then he started to replace the fishing line and hook, and he needed to change one.
In the past, when fishing for deep-sea fish, the thickness of the fishing lines of the three fishing rods and the size of the hooks were different.
One of them is specially designed to catch fish weighing five pounds or less, so that the hook will not catch many valuable small fish.
Ye Jing had already helped press the other two sticks on the bracket. Gu Nan first hung a small fish and threw it into the water.
Fishing bait is different from nest bait. It is live small fish. The fish caught during this period have been kept in the live fish cabin.
Fishing bait can be regarded as a variety of small fish, but one characteristic is that it is not valuable or very cheap.
The fishing method is the same as before, mainly relying on injured fish to seduce the predators on the edge of the fish school.
However, fishing is most afraid of fish coming to the surface, and there is a large school of fish for them to eat.
Compared with before, this time the fish were driven all the way from the deep sea to the surface, and the big fish chasing them had already eaten red eyes.
I only chased the areas where the fish were densely packed, and didn’t care about the scattered food and injured fish beside the boat.
The two waited for a long time, but there was not even a fish.
If it weren't for the occasional swordfish leaping out of the sea, because the school of fish appeared on the surface, a few attracted seabirds would rush into the water to tell them that the school of fish was still there, and they would all doubt whether the school of fish had escaped.
Gu Nan had a headache, banging his head and thinking about a solution.
"Anan, the fish won't eat the bait, what should I do?"
"I can't do anything for the time being. If I wait for the fish to disperse, I don't know how long it will take. By then, the fish will be full and less likely to take the bait." "How about spreading some more bait and see if the smell of blood can cause the fish to disperse." Big fish’s attention?”
"Okay, it's better than doing nothing."
It often happens that there are too many fish but no bait, which is the most depressing situation for fishermen.
Many fishermen have encountered a group of fish appearing on the water in wild rivers, and the bait they hooked was dangling in front of the fish but would not bite.
There was also fried tuna in the water, but after swinging the fishing rod for a long time, my shoulders were sore and no fish came to bite the hook.
Gu Nan didn't expect to find something like this happening to him today. It was too smooth before.
If he fails again this time, he plans to sail the boat to try among the fish.
Anyway, no one is taking the bait. Maybe some unlucky fish bites the hook just in time?
However, at this time, a group of marlins in the water rushed toward the school of fish, scattering the neatly swimming school of fish.
The school of fish dispersed, causing several small fish on Gu Nan's side and many falling nest baits to appear in front of them.
The marlin, who were about to chase the small fish, saw that there were injured fish, so they would definitely eat them first!
After the fish school dispersed, a small number of fish panicked and couldn't find their position. Although they were suitable for hunting, chasing them was not as easy as chasing injured fish!
So immediately three marlin swam over quickly, planning to take care of these small fish first.
"Whoosh~"
"Damn, it's not easy. I finally caught a fish."
Looking at the curvature of the fishing rod, he knew it was a big fish weighing at least several hundred kilograms. Gu Nan quickly pressed the buttons on the three fishing rods.
The other two fishing lines must be reeled in. If such a big fish moves around a little bit, it will get tangled with the fishing line next to it, which will be very troublesome.
Because the bait was taken up, the marlin that followed had no target. When they saw an injured fish not far away, they swam quickly over there.
Therefore, the time difference with Gu Nan's side was only a few seconds, and the sound of the fish's reaction was also heard from Ye Jing's fishing rod.
After Gu Nan pressed the button, he quickly raised the pole that had already bit the hook and stabbed the fish.
The little power of the electric winch is nothing to a marlin weighing several hundred kilograms. With the added unloading force of the electric winch, there is no way to stop it from running far away.
Fortunately, even sharks have to stay away where the marlin schools hang out, so there are no sharks nearby.
In addition, schools of fish block the line of sight. As long as the marlin is controlled within a certain range, sharks will not be intercepted.
There is no need to worry about Ye Jing's side, because his side is in the opposite direction of the fish school, unless he is unlucky enough to have a shark passing by.
The depth that Gu Nan lowered the hook bait this time was only about ten meters, so in the blink of an eye, the hooked marlin jumped up to the surface of the sea and jumped high.
His eyes lit up. The leaping marlin seemed to be at least three meters long, not counting its long beak. It was also very thick and felt to be at least four to five hundred pounds.
The leaping marlin shook its head rapidly, as if it was about to spit out the fishhook in its mouth.
Gu Nan couldn't let it go as he wished, so he grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it hard.
The huge force was transmitted from the fishing line, directly breaking the balance of the marlin and slamming it onto the sea surface.
It sounds like a long story, but in reality it only takes a few seconds.
There was also quite a lot of movement behind Ye Jing. It was estimated that the situation was similar, but such a big fish had to go all out. The two of them concentrated on fishing and couldn't care about others at all.
The marlin had rough skin and thick flesh, and it was full of energy just after being hooked. It had little impact if it fell, so it shook its head and continued sprinting.
Its dorsal fin is knife-like, much like a shark. At first glance, I thought it was a shark swimming in the water, chasing its prey.
The fishing rod was being pulled and made a "squeaking" sound. Today was another big challenge for Gu Nan.
As soon as he got up, he didn't save any energy. He grabbed the crank handle with all his strength to prevent the fish from running away. He also used the electric winch to waste the fish's energy, and even took the opportunity to retract some of the fishing line.
What he encountered today was a large school of fish. There were too many large fish for him. The time when the fish dispersed was not fixed. He had to fish quickly to have a chance to catch the second big one.
The golden fishing rod and matching fishing line are very powerful, and it will be fine no matter how you pull it.
Moreover, the fishing rod's ability to absorb physical strength caused the marlin to consume far more physical energy than Gu Nan.
Unfortunately, marlin has a very strong physical strength, weighing four to five hundred pounds. A normal fisherman needs the cooperation of three or four people, and it takes more than two hours of fishing to have a chance to catch it.
Gu Nan tried his best to keep the fish a hundred meters away. It was not safe to get too close.
The marlin jumped from that height just now, and there is definitely a chance of jumping onto the Nanchen. The fishing boat is too close, which will make the marlin feel that the boat has been chasing it.
After a long time, most of the physical strength is exhausted, whether it is marlin or swordfish, I feel that if I can't run away, there will be a certain probability that they will die together.
This is how most incidents of swordfish and marlin injuries occur every year. Not all anglers have experience in fishing for swordfish and marlin.
At this time, the marlin was swimming back and forth and struggling under the surface of the water, with its dorsal fin still on the surface.
Being pulled by the fishing line, it is difficult for it to escape to the bottom of the water.
Even if it wanted to, Gu Nan didn't give it any room to act and pulled the fishing line tightly.
That is to say, he was fishing like this just now with the fishing rod and line produced by the game. If he replaced it with the fishing rod he used when competing in the South China Sea, he would never dare to do it so hard. The possibility of the fishing line breaking is not very high, but the probability is not. Small.
The marlin has used various methods to escape. It rushes from the bottom to the surface like a dolphin, and so on.
At the beginning, I jumped out of the water a few times, but then my physical strength probably stopped allowing me to do so, and I seemed to be more at ease.
Gu Nan did a lot of fishing just to stab the fish. Every time the fishing rod vibrated violently, it meant that the fish was washing its gills. He had to stab the fish to ensure that the hook was penetrated deeply.
After about forty or fifty minutes, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and the fish was also tired and lay down to rest.
Gu Nan exhaled heavily, turned the electric winch that had been turned off due to overheating back on, and quickly took back the marlin without stopping.
As long as the fish lies down, he no longer has to worry about resting and continuing over and over again. The function of the fishing rod to absorb physical strength is not for show.
He didn't know how much time and energy he saved because of the fishing rod.
At least the one in Ye Jing's hand is still three hundred meters away. Judging from the downward arc of the fishing rod and the tightness of the fishing line, it will take at least more than an hour to get it done.
This was when there was an electric winch, and he was fishing by himself. He probably broke off before the fish came up.
Seeing that the marlin was still more than twenty meters away from the fishing boat, Gu Nan picked up the harpoon and got ready.
As for whether the blood would attract sharks, he wasn't worried about that.
This huge school of fish can cover everything. Fish bitten by other big fish when hunting will always smell of blood, so sharks may not come over.
Finally, the big marlin was pulled to the side of the boat by the electric winch. Gu Nan saw the right moment, aimed at the position of the fish's brain in front of the dorsal fin, and threw the harpoon fiercely.
"Chi~"
There was an obvious sound of meat entering, and the harpoon sank deeply into the fish's head.
The marlin didn't die immediately, but it didn't have the energy to struggle because of the fishing rod. It just swung its tail feebly a few times and just lay there waiting for death.
Gu Nan was not idle and went to get the rope from the crane, put the fish's tail around and hoisted the fish up.
When Ye Jing heard the sound of the crane and looked back, he didn't expect that Gu Nan had already caught the fish.
The words "f*ck~" explained all his complicated thoughts. (End of chapter)
