Chapter 128 This glance changed the rest of my life
Picking up swimming crabs all the way, when the net bag was full again, and Chu Mingcheng raised his head and was about to swim up, he finally noticed a hole under the reef not far away, about ten meters away, which seemed to be covered with seaweed.
Because the distance was too far, it was very hazy. If it wasn't for the reflection of light, the outside of the cave formed a sharp contrast with the cave entrance, which made the cave look like a huge gaping mouth, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to discover it.
According to visual inspection, the diameter of the hole is almost one meter, which is an excellent hiding place.
Whenever you encounter this kind of cave on the bottom of the sea, you must go and see it, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Under normal luck, there will be no harvest.
If you are unlucky, you may get injured.
But if you are lucky, you will have dinner tomorrow.
Chu Mingcheng looked at his diving time, and found that it was almost five minutes, so he came up to take a breath, put his head up to reassure Jiang Luoluo, and then returned to not far from the pothole.
He approached cautiously, trying not to make any noise.
When he was five meters away from the pothole, a pair of small mung bean eyes looked at him.
Chu Mingcheng's heart "plopped" and sped up all of a sudden. He didn't disturb the opponent, but lowered his body and lay down on the sandy ground, and then crawled backwards.
There aren't any swimming crabs near the pothole, so he won't cause too much noise when he backs up on the seabed.
Chu Mingcheng swam back to the surface of the water until ten meters away, and hurried back to the boat.
He handed the net bag full of swimming crabs to Jiang Luoluo, and then went up directly from the stairs on the right side of the back of the boat.
There are so many swimming crabs at the bottom of the water, Jiang Luoluo thought he would continue diving to catch them, but when he saw him coming up, he was a little strange: "Acheng, don't you want to catch them?"
"No, I found a surprise at the bottom of the water, I have to prepare." Chu Mingcheng took off his flippers, and then came to the fishing box with bare feet to choose suitable equipment from inside.
In the cave, it is actually very convenient to use a speargun or a spear. Basically, one shot is accurate, but it is not necessary.
Spearguns are mainly used to shoot fish that move in the water. They cannot be caught under normal circumstances, so they can only be shot with a speargun.
But fish hiding in caves are much easier to catch, and those who can catch them alive will definitely not choose to kill them.
"Surprise?" Jiang Luoluo was puzzled at first, and then when he saw Chu Mingcheng holding a strong horse line and a fishhook, he immediately understood, and asked excitedly, "Is it a big fish?"
"That must be, the little fish is not worth all the preparations I have made!" Chu Mingcheng nodded and smiled, he was carrying a fish spear on his back, if the little one was stabbed with the fish spear just now, it doesn't matter if it survives or not .
"What kind of fish?"
"I can't see clearly, but it looks like a grouper from the mouth."
"Wow, big grouper, this must be caught."
Jiang Luoluo was already looking forward to this meeting, and then she noticed that Chu Mingcheng's camera seemed a little crooked, so she went directly to help him fix it.
"The fish must be caught, and the shot must be shot well. When it is released, it will definitely attract a lot of popularity."
Looking blankly at the girl close at hand, Chu Mingcheng suddenly felt full of motivation.
"Wait for my good news."
"Ok!"
Chu Mingcheng was not sure about the exact size of the fish, so for the sake of safety, he cut a section of No. 8, 8 braided Dalima line, and then tied the wire leader and fishhook.
The bait is the small squid just bought in the morning, and it is directly hung up.
Going to sea with Jiang Luoluo, he would not buy clamworms, and squid is more attractive to big fish.
Get ready to come to the edge of the steps and put on the flippers again, and then wrap the fishing line around your hands round and round.
Finally, the leading wire was added, leaving a length of about ten meters, and Chuming City was launched into the water again.
There was no delay this time, and I found the pothole directly.
First observed from a distance whether the fish was still inside, and after making sure that it was still inside without being disturbed by him just now, Chu Mingcheng turned around and came to a height of seven or eight meters above the reef pit. Not his.
Put the squid down and put it three meters away from the hole, and then he turns his wrist to release the line while rising to the height.
The line of sight in the water is about ten meters. He needs to stay a little further away, and finally stops at the center of the water layer at a depth of about fifteen meters.
Food delivered to your door is such a good thing, with the brain capacity of grouper, you will not be vigilant.
No, as soon as Chu Mingcheng stopped, he found a dark shadow coming out of the cave at the bottom of the water.
Seeing this scene, the sound of running water in his ears gradually diminished, replaced by the sound of faster and faster heartbeats.
This figure is almost as long as the diameter of the cave, which means that it is almost the same without the meter level.
Such a big grouper, even the worst gentian grouper can sell for more than two thousand, and the weight is at least 30 catties.
Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng's hand was pulled down by a huge force, and even his body dropped a little.
A huge force seemed to drag him away directly, and the fish took the bait.
Chu Mingcheng hastily tugged on the fishing line so that the hook could penetrate deeper.
Then he grabs the line with both hands and starts kicking with his feet to bring the fish up a bit.
The grouper, which is nearly meter level, is not injured, so it is difficult to pull it up directly.
But the fish is too close to the cave where it hides. If you don’t pull it away from the cave with force, when it hides back, it may cause the line to touch the reef and break.
Therefore, Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to forcibly pull the fish first, and bring the fish to the open waters.
The pulling force of No. 8 No. 8 Dalima line is about 36 kilograms. Under normal circumstances, the pulling force of fish plus various resistances of water can be caught as long as it does not exceed 36 kilograms.
But in fact, the rod, reel and fisherman play a very important role in fishing. If you don’t pull straight with brute force, this kind of fishing line is used to catch big fish.
Chu Mingcheng pulls fish weighing more than 30 catties straight like this, and it only takes a short while to be completely fine.
As he went upstream and pulled down the fishing line from time to time, the fish scrambled in pain, but he was slowly pulled to the middle of the water.
Now, Chu Mingcheng can relax a little bit.
He stabilized his body in the water, let the fish swim around him, and retracted the fishing line bit by bit.
When the opponent exerts force, put a little line to cushion it.
Until the line was less than ten meters away, Chu Mingcheng finally saw what the fish looked like, but he didn't expect it to be an extremely rare tiger spot.
Tiger spot is also called brown-spotted grouper. The price of wild and live tiger spot is at least 250 yuan per catty, and the bigger it is, the more expensive it is.
This one is nearly meter-grade, and must weigh more than 30 catties, maybe even 40 catties.
The wild tiger spot grows extremely slowly, and this strip may be older than Chu Mingcheng.
On the boat, Jiang Luoluo stared anxiously at the water surface with a camera in his hand, and occasionally checked his watch.
Chu Mingcheng has been in the water for four minutes now, and she is getting more and more worried because she doesn't know the situation in the water.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the surface of the water, Chu Mingcheng finally swam back to the surface of the water to reveal his head, and even had time to wave to her.
Jiang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, but also had a beautiful smile on her face, and she shouted, "Did you catch the fish?"
Chu Mingcheng nodded, and then gestured his thumbs.
Then sink into the water and continue to take up the line, the fish is still seven or eight meters away, and we still have to work hard.
As for whether he will encounter any predatory creatures coming to **** fish from him, basically there will be none.
This is offshore, and fish resources are scarce.
Whether it is dolphins, sharks, or seals, they will not appear, because there are too few fish to support them.
If they stay here, let alone the nets under the various fishing boats in the offshore, it is the food, they can starve to death.
Therefore, when diving in the domestic offshore, except for some specific areas, most places do not have to worry about encountering predatory sharks.
As Tiger Banner was pulled in front of him, although it still had the strength to struggle, it completely lost its ability to resist after Chu Mingcheng grabbed the fish's gills.
Jiang Luoluo also saw the fish at this meeting, but she didn't expect it to be so big. After being surprised, she quickly raised the camera to shoot, and wanted to take this sub-shot.
Chu Mingcheng grabbed the gills of the fish with both hands, kicked the flippers lightly, and the man started to swim towards the boat.
At this time, it is really convenient to have flippers. Without flippers, he would not be able to swim fast with his hands busy controlling the fish.
Caught a huge fish, both of them were very happy.
Chu Mingcheng swam to the side of the boat, Jiang Luoluo brought an oversized net, and when she mentioned it, she was embarrassed to find that she could lift it, but couldn't.
Usually, she can lift fifty or sixty catties of water, but it turns out that this fish is estimated to be less than fifty catties, but it is difficult for her to pull it up.
This is mainly because the body is leaning forward and it is not easy to exert strength. Secondly, the side of the ship is a bit high, and she does not have enough strength.
"Don't worry, let's go to the back stairs and try."
Chu Mingcheng also discovered a serious problem. There is no winch on the boat. How to pull up the big fish will be a big problem for him in the future!
It seems that after returning to the voyage, I have to go to the shipyard to ask if it is possible to build a small crane or winch.
The deck space is quite large. He doesn’t plan to rent a boat. It’s useless to reserve so many fishing spots. It’s better to build something practical.
When they came to the stairway on the rear deck, the fish was finally pulled up with the combined efforts of the two and the fact that the fish could just pass through the small door at the stairway.
"Huhu." Jiang Luoluo was sweating profusely. She was the main force pulling this fish. Chu Mingcheng was not easy to use his strength in the water, so he could barely hold the fish up so that she could pull it up.
After taking a few breaths, she hurriedly went to the cockpit and took out the scale and ruler: "Ah Cheng, measure it quickly, how big is it?"
"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng was also very curious, first measured the length of the fish, it was 87 centimeters, and it was almost 90 centimeters.
Then he moved to the large scale he had just bought and weighed it. It actually weighed forty-three catties and five taels. This is the largest wild tiger spot he knows so far.
But tiger spots can actually grow up to 1.2 meters, which is far from breaking the record.
It can be found here, and Chu Mingcheng probably has something to do with the swimming crabs below.
With sufficient food, it is naturally impossible to go to the more dangerous high seas.
But Cheng also has swimming crabs and loses swimming crabs. It is estimated that Tiger Ban would never have imagined that there would be a sixth son diving to catch swimming crabs.
And just looking at it, it changed the rest of its life!
For convenience, Chu Mingcheng deliberately emptied the crushed ice in a fish box, put the fish in it, poured it into seawater and added oxygen.
It is actually okay to put live fish in the tank, but it is not easy to take it out.
Jiang Luoluo's footage was almost finished, so he temporarily turned off the camera and asked, "Ah Cheng, how much can this fish sell for?"
"I don't know too well. Wild and fresh tiger spots can sell for two hundred and fifty-one catties. This one is actually worth more. Maybe three hundred or three hundred and fifty-one catties. Someone will want it."
Chu Mingcheng shook his head, thinking about whom to sell to.
If you sell it to a seafood restaurant or the big boss in the group, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price.
But he is considering whether to sell it to Brother Haiwang, but if he sells it to him, the actual price will be low, and he can only get the normal market price.
The only advantage is that it can gain some popularity and take the road of cashing in traffic and accumulating customers.
If you sell it to the bosses, you can immediately see a few thousand dollars more. If you sell it to Neptune, you may lose a few thousand dollars.
"Lolo, do you think it's better for me to sell to rich bosses, or to Brother Haiwang?"
Jiang Luoluo understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Don't you already have a bias in your heart? Why don't you ask Brother Haiwang first, he has already photographed tiger spots, maybe you don't want to!"
Chu Mingcheng also smiled when he heard what he said: "You're right, I'll send it to him for a look first, if he wants it, sell it to him, if he doesn't want it, sell it to the seafood restaurant or the customers in the group."
