Chapter 233

231. Harbour Night

Qin Shiou didn't need to continue to control the big bluefin tuna and chase the scattered bait. The big fish wandered up greedily.

The sonar fish detector of the fishing boat made a sharp cry. Qin Shiou looked at the screen. The sea monster pointed out to him: "look, the green pattern is the image reflected by the sonar. The underground layer is the seabed, and the curved image is a tuna!"

"It could be a shark." Qin Shiou smiled.

The sea monster shook his head and said, "the rookie can't tell the difference between the shark and the bluefin tuna, but the veteran can see it at a glance. Look at its swimming track and its swimming speed. The shark won't swing so cunningly left and right. It will rush up and eat the bait. But sharks can't be so fast. If they can be so fast, it's tuna! "

Shaq hung the live bait on the hook and threw it down. He murmured, "come on, man, hurry up to my boat. I've bought you a ticket to Japan. Have a good trip!"

Live fish are more attractive to tuna. Seeing the Atlantic herring struggling in the sea, this bluefin tuna no longer hesitated, rushed up like a stray arrow, opened its mouth and swallowed the herring.

The bait goes into the big mouth of bluefin tuna with the hook. In this way, as the big fish swims, the hook falls out of the Herring's mouth and gets stuck in the tuna's mouth. The line is pulled into the tuna's gills - hooked!

With the rapid rotation of the fishing rod wheel seat, the main line with half the thickness of disposable chopsticks was quickly pulled out, and the fishing rod inevitably bent.

Shack pressed the wheel seat, looked at the sea intently and shouted, "sea monster, take the damn harpoon and come out quickly! Boss, you set sail and listen to me. Let the fishing boat go backwards... "

The bluefin tuna was strangled into the gills by the fishing line and struggled wildly in the water. The sea monster picked up the harpoon and waited aside. At the same time, he didn't forget to explain to Qin Shiou: "it doesn't count until the fish is caught on the deck. Even if the tuna bites the hook, the decoupling rate is 60%!"

Shaq is an old fisherman and won't make low-level mistakes. He stretched the fishing line to an appropriate level and constantly commanded Qin Shiou to operate the fishing boat and tuna to keep the same forward or backward line, so that it can't break free of the hook.

It took more than half an hour for the tuna to get tired, but it still wanted to give it a go and seize the opportunity to drill into the bottom of the boat.

The tiger and leopard waiting by the side of the ship fiercely closed their ears, jumped up and jumped into the water, just blocking the water at the bottom of the ship.

The tuna was frightened and hurried back. Shack gave a sharp drink, fiercely retracted the fishing line and pulled the tuna to the side of the boat.

The sea monster shouted, "boss, now it's the second test. Look at my fish gun..."

His right arm muscle was like a rock. He shouted and shouted, and shot the fish gun into the water, right in the middle of the exposed gills of the tuna.

Suddenly, blood spurted out, and the bluefin tuna's vitality was greatly reduced by this heavy blow.

The end of the fish gun was tied with a rope. The sea monster quickly retracted the rope and pulled the tuna up with the fish gun.

Bluefin tuna has a feature that makes them easy to catch, that is, they habitually lift their tails when they come out of the water. Their purpose is to wave their tail and hit the enemy, but in this way, people often seize the opportunity to put a rope around their tail.

When the sea monster shot the bluefin tuna with a fish gun, Shaq loosened his hand. He took the rope sleeve and waited on the side of the ship. The bluefin tuna raised its tail and put the rope sleeve on it, so that the fish fell into their pockets.

When shack put the rope around the tuna tail, the sea monster released the fish gun. He opened the gate at the stern and pulled the tuna up with shack.

The two skillfully cooperated to show Qin Shiou the beauty of fishing skills.

Qin Shiou came out and looked at the bluefin tuna. The whole bluefin tuna was shuttle shaped, with a round body, smooth and beautiful curve, like water droplets. Its fin is dark cyan, and its back to abdomen is silver gray, which proves that it is an Atlantic bluefin tuna.

When he caught the fish, Shaq wrapped his tail around the crane and sang happily: "from this valley they say your going,

I-will-miss-your-bright-eyes-and-sweet-smile……”

The sea monster soon sang with his voice: "for they say you take the sun, that has bright our path way a while..."

Qin Shiou smiled and listened to them sing. He was very familiar with this song. It can almost be said that this is the most popular folk song in Canada in the world - "Red River Valley".

This song mainly shows that the immigrants in the northern Red River area reclaim land, build homes and develop cities, and finally turn the bison infested wasteland into a beautiful home. It praises the diligence of workers and the vision of building homes. Most fishermen will sing this song when collecting fish catches and farmers collect food.

"Boss, eat together, eat together!" Shack said happily.

Without starting the crane, Iverson directly stretched out his hand to pull the rope and dragged it back to lift the fish. Shaq cut off the gills with a knife, and the sea monster cut off the tail to let the blood flow out.

Fish are cold-blooded creatures, which does not mean that their blood has no temperature. Before, they were struggling and fleeing. The temperature of fish blood is relatively high. Now the dead fish meat is cold. In this way, the fish blood will destroy the fish meat and produce lactic acid, which will make the fish taste worse.

After cleaning the fish's blood, Shaq measured it and laughed, "it's great. It's 168 cm. It's a big guy. I guess as long as the meat quality of this fish is better, it's no problem to sell 20000 yuan."

"I hope I can fly it to Tokyo for auction, so the price is uncertain." The sea monster smiled and said.

Shack looked at the fish, shook his head and said, "this is terrible. The quality of this fish is average."

Several people were commenting on the fish. On several American ships in the distance, the crew were looking at Qin Shiou with binoculars, and people kept scolding bitterly:

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

"Fark, does even God like rich people? We've been out all day and haven't caught a fish! "

"That fish is really not small. If only it were mine, I could go to Gloucester Harbor to find two beautiful girls tonight."

The group took a group photo with the fish respectively. When Iverson took a picture, he happily held the fish. He must have thought it was dinner tonight. Unfortunately, everything had to disappoint him.

The reason why bluefin tuna is precious is its rarity. Qin Shiou and his party didn't encounter any fish after catching it.

Of course, Qin Shiou controls a big fish. This fish must have met more than ten of its kind when it soared at the bottom of the sea, but they are all small, and the largest is more than one meter. Qin Shiou doesn't want to catch such a small thing.

Besides, it's not normal to catch too many bluefin tuna. It's better to keep a low profile when you first come.

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

George shoal is a distance from the harbor. It takes more than three hours to drive back, so we should leave early.

At the same time, the owners of several other ships also set sail to leave. They will not stay at sea for the night, because most of these ships are simple fishing boats, and the stored ice cannot be retained for two days or more.

Bluefin tuna, once caught, has to be bled and frozen. Fishermen need to go back to the harbor to replenish oil and ice.

With these fishing boats, Qin Shiou's destination is also American territory, Gloucester port, because the Nova Scotia peninsula is farther away, more than 60 kilometers. This is an hour's voyage, which takes more time and fuel.

The trawl yacht has high horsepower, strong hull and naturally runs faster. In this way, although Qin Shiou and others were the last to go, they almost entered the port at the same time as those ships that went ahead.

At present, Gloucester port is the world of fishing boats. Trawlers and purse seine fishing boats are rare. Large and small fishing boats are scattered everywhere in the wharf.

Fishermen are very familiar, and most of them are residents of Gloucester port, so when they return to the wharf, they greet each other, ask about their catch and joke.
