Chapter 271: A good start

In this regard, Ye Luo smiled dumbly and said, "What if you catch a whale?"

He didn't think that one person could eat the heart of a whole whale, and in his opinion, this tradition in Newfoundland was similar to the superstitions in the country in the previous life, which were basically fooling people.

No, it can't be said to be foolish, it should be said that 'if you believe, you have, and if you don't believe, you don't'.

As an atheist, he is largely insensitive to any of this.

"That's right, boss, if you have the ability to get it up, you'll have to eat its heart. ”

Dast nodded solemnly, "Normally, every time a smart captain goes out to sea to fish, they will guess the size of the fish they catch based on their weight. The big fish let go, and the small fish pulled up, and that's the reason. ”

Ye Luo refused without hesitation: "Guys, I respect your customs, but I really can't do this, it's disgusting, you see that this heart is still pumping blood!"

Hearing this, Dast and Thomas pretended to be hurt, Ye Luo shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Okay, guys, you really embarrassed me." ”

As he spoke, he took the fish heart the size of his index finger and threw it in his mouth, swallowing it without even chewing it.

Seeing Ye Luo swallowing the fish's heart, Thomas, who was a passer-by, hurriedly smiled and poured him a glass of wine, but as soon as he walked out of the cab, the sonar fish finder suddenly made a sharp 'Didi' sound!

Hearing this, Thomas threw away the wine glass, rushed to the screen of the fish finder to look at it, turned back to Daxter and yelled, "Throw the bait, change the live bait!" Two big fish approached, one about forty meters below the sea at the bow of the boat, and the other ...... Damn, it's definitely bluefin tuna!"

Daxter was quick with his hand, and with a quick knife chopped the little male fish he had just killed in two and threw it into the water, and then he took a live herring from the bucket and hung it on the hook and threw it down.

While working, Daxter said excitedly: "Look, look, boss, this is the power of tradition! You just ate the heart of the little fish, and good luck will come! Two bluefin tuna, we have to catch at least one!"

What does this have to do with me eating a small fish heart?

Ye Luo couldn't help but complain in his heart, obviously I found it with my consciousness!

But Daxter was right, they could catch at least one of the two bluefin tuna, and Ye Luo's goal was to catch the big fish, and the small fish to see if they could bring it back to their own fishing grounds.

It's a pity that both fish are males, if it's a male and a female, Ye Luo will definitely bring them back, and when the small fish grow up in the future, if they can be successfully mated, then he doesn't have to worry about no bluefin tuna to catch in his fishing farm.

It's better to give it a fish than to give it a fish!

Ye Luo still understands this truth.

Daxter's self-confidence was justified, bluefin tuna were voracious, they generally swim at the bottom of the sea, and when they swim to the surface, they are ready to hunt, and there is no doubt that it is the herring segments he throws down that attract them.

Bluefin tuna consumes a lot of energy because they swim constantly, and the bait in the sea is not abundant enough to be found everywhere, so they never miss a little food, which is the biggest reason why fishermen can catch them with their rods!

If Ye Luo could control the big bluefin tuna, then he would undoubtedly do so, but he couldn't control it at the moment.

Luckily for him, the big bluefin tuna swam greedily after the bait scattered around.

The sonar fish finder in the cab made a sharp cry again, Ye Luo hurriedly walked in, looked at the screen, Thomas got out of the way, and pointed him out: "Boss, look, the green pattern is the image reflected back by the sonar, and the underground layer is the bottom of the sea, and this curved image is a tuna!"

Ye Luo saw the sonar map for the first time, and found that it was completely incomparable with his own consciousness, his consciousness was like his eyes, and the sonar relied on the temperature of the fish's body to detect, not to mention the big gap between the two!

"Do you want to be so sure?" Qin Shiou joked: "If I'm not mistaken, there are sharks in places where tuna usually appear, and it's possible that we caught sharks?"

"No, no, no, boss, you don't understand. ”

Thomas shook his head and said: "If it is a rookie, it will definitely not be able to tell the difference between a shark and a bluefin tuna, but if a veteran can see it at a glance, looking at its swimming trajectory and its swimming degree, the shark will not be so cunning to shake from side to side, it will rampage up and eat bait." But the shark degree will not be so fast, and the degree can be so fast, it is tuna!"

Although Ye Luo has long known that this fish is tuna, he relies on consciousness, and if there is no help from consciousness, then he is a rookie who can no longer cook.

He listened to Thomas's easy braids relying on his rich experience, which can be said to have taught him a good lesson, and at the same time he had to admit in his heart that the old fisherman was indeed rich in experience!

At this time, Daxter, who was outside the wheelhouse, hung the live bait on the hook and threw it down, muttering: "Come on, man, hurry up to my boat, I have bought you a ticket to the island nation, I wish you a pleasant trip!"

Live fish are more tempting to tuna, and when it sees a herring struggling in the sea, the bluefin tuna no longer hesitates, rushes up like an arrow from a string, opens its mouth, and swallows the herring into its mouth.

The bait enters the bluefin tuna's mouth with the hook, so that as the big fish swims, the hook comes out of the herring's mouth and gets stuck in the tuna's mouth, and the line is pulled into the gills of the tuna, representing ......

The fish is hooked!

The rod wheel rotated rapidly, and the main line, which was half the thickness of disposable chopsticks, was quickly pulled out, and the rod inevitably bent.

Dust pressed the wheel seat and shouted while looking intently at the sea: "Thomas, bring me the damn harpoon and get out quickly!" boss, you come and drive the boat, listen to me, let the fishing boat go backwards......"

The bluefin tuna struggled frantically in the water with a fishing line in its gills, and Thomas picked up a harpoon and waited aside.

At the same time, he didn't forget to explain loudly to Ye Luo in the wheelhouse: "Before you catch the fish on the deck, everything doesn't count, even if the tuna bites the hook, the unhooking rate is 6o%!"

As an old fisherman, Daxter naturally would not make such a low-level mistake.

I saw that he stretched the fishing line to an appropriate degree, and constantly instructed Ye Luo to operate the yacht and the tuna to maintain the same forward or backward line, always so that it could not break free from 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 it took the opportunity to drill to the bottom of the boat.

Thomas, who was waiting on the side of the boat, hurriedly thrust his harpoon into the sea, blocking the water surface of the tuna's path at the bottom of the boat.

The tuna was frightened and hurriedly retreated, and Dast screamed and reeled in the line violently, pulling the tuna to the side of the boat at once.

Thomas hurriedly lifted the harpoon from his hand, then aimed at the tuna who was struggling by the side of the boat, and shouted, "Boss, it's the second test, look at my speargun."

……”

The next second.

Thomas's right arm muscles rose like a rock, and he screamed and shot the speargun into the water, right in the gills of the tuna.

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

The speargun was tied with a rope at the end, and in order to prevent the shark from being attracted by the fish's blood, Thomas quickly retracted the rope and pulled the tuna up with the speargun.

One feature of bluefin tuna that makes them easy to catch is the habitual raising of their tails when they come to the surface.

Their purpose is to swing their tails to hit their enemies, but they are often seized by people who have the opportunity to lasso their tails.

When Thomas shot the bluefin tuna with his speargun, Daxter let go of his hand and turned to get a noose and lie on the side of the boat and wait.

The bluefin tuna raises its tail and then puts the noose on it so that the fish falls into their pocket.

When Daxter leashed the tuna's tail with a noose. Thomas, on the other side, let go of the speargun, opened the stern gate, and pulled the tuna up with Dust.

The two skillfully cooperated and showed Ye Luo the beauty of fishing skills!

Ye Luo rushed out of the cab and looked at this bluefin tuna, which was fusiform as a whole, with a round body and smooth and graceful curves, like water droplets.

Its fins are a dark cyan color and its back and belly are silvery-grey, proving that it is a prized bluefin tuna.

Catching the fish, Daxter wrapped its tail around the crane and hung it up, and said with excitement on his face: "Haha, good luck, good start!"

"That's right, I didn't expect to catch this guy for the first time, I was ready to catch it in ten days and half a month. Thomas was equally excited.

Daxter happily said to Ye Luo beside him: "Boss, eat together, eat together!"

Without starting the crane, Thomas directly reached out and pulled the rope back, and then hoisted the fish, and Daxter cut off the gills with a knife, and then cut the tail of the fish, allowing the blood to flow out.

Fish are cold-blooded creatures, which does not mean that their blood has no temperature, before they were struggling to escape, the temperature of fish blood was relatively high, and now the dead fish meat is cold, so that the fish blood will destroy the fish meat and make it produce lactic acid, so that the taste of the fish will be poor.

Dealing with the fish blood, Dast measured the length and laughed: "Very good, 165 cm, it's a big guy, I estimate that as long as the meat quality of this fish is better, it won't be a problem to sell for hundreds of thousands." ”

"I'd like to have it fly to Tokyo for an auction, so the price won't be certain. Thomas said with a smile.

Hearing this, Daxter took a closer look at the fish, and then shook his head with a little regret and said: "This is enough, the quality of this fish is average, barely reaching the minimum standard, but in the kind of place where the auction is held, the standard is different every year, who knows what the standard is this year." ”

Several people were judging this fish, and on several American boats in the distance, the crew members were holding binoculars to watch Ye Luo, and some people kept scolding:

"Damn, this rich Hawaiian guy was so lucky that he got a good fish as soon as he came. ”

"Shit, does even God like rich people? We've been out for a day and we haven't caught a single fish!"

"That fish is not small, if it were me, then I can go to the port of Pollora tonight and find some beautiful girls to play. ”
