There are two main ways to catch tuna, one is longline fishing, and the other is purse seine and trawling.

The latter two are extremely damaging to marine ecology, especially trawling, which is more likely to gradually deplete marine resources and is banned off the coast of Oregon.

There are clear official rules on when and how many fish can be caught in the offshore waters each year, with the aim of protecting marine resources and maintaining sustainable development, just like the major nature reserves, which are occasionally open for hunting, mainly to maintain ecological balance.

Since the consumption of natural resources is increasing with the increase in population and the destruction of natural resources is inevitable, it is better to have a unified plan to at least give the animals and plants a chance to recuperate and avoid repeating the madness of the last century.

Of the four crew members, Patrick Jr. was the youngest, and because of his tuna fishing experience, he became the conductor of course.

Seeing that Hank was about to cast the net, he shouted loudly: "You can't use a trawl net!" The tuna caught is different from the tuna you catch, if there is an obvious wound, no merchant dares to accept it, do you want to harm our boss and be fined?!"

Hank raised his eyebrows slightly, and to be honest, he really didn't mind sending the old man to squat for a while, but it was inevitable that he would put himself in it, which was not very cost-effective.

So he replied: "Okay, we can only fish, right, the old man said last time that he caught bluefin tuna, how much money would he give us?"

"Twenty percent of the price! Don't talk nonsense, find me some more fake bait, and I'll go sail when I'm ready, don't put the line too long!"

For every fishing enthusiast who loves sea fishing, tuna fishing is one of the ultimate goals they can't bypass.

Whether it's bluefin tuna, masu tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna or albacore, as long as it's a little smaller, it's worth taking a photo and showing off to others in the future.

Giant grouper, giant marlin, bluefin tuna and giant wrasse wrasse are just four large marine fish that sea fishing enthusiasts have to pursue all their lives, and they require as much size as they are.

With the constant killing, it is now difficult to encounter schools of tuna, and the images seen from the visual fish finder earlier convinced little Pattry that there was a large school of fish near the fishing boat, probably bluefin tuna!

It's no wonder that a group of people seem to be crazy, money has become a relatively secondary thing in their minds at the moment, and it is more important to catch the big fish on the bottom of the sea first!

Zhang Xiaokai was not idle, chopped the fish pieces with a knife, and then sprinkled them all into the sea.

Standing on the deck, you can see sharks approaching the surface, wagging their tails and opening their mouths to devour their food.

If it was the beginning of the year, let alone chopping fish, he would be scared when he saw this bloody scene.

Fortunately now, since little Patrick asked him for help, he did it, and he didn't treat himself as a child more and more, and the environment forced Zhang Xiaokai to grow up quickly.

I don't know if the fish are still nearby, but I have heard that tuna swim very fast, and the rods are inserted in the stern of the boat, and the so-called longline fishing refers to a main fishing line with many branch lines, and each branch line is hung with false bait and hook.

This increases the probability of catching a fish, and you don't have to pin all your hopes on one hook, but if you're lucky, you can attract a big fish to bite.

"Matt, there's not enough bait, you chop some fish, it's about the size of your fist!"

The big guys are busy, and Mr. Kenny, who is in his early thirties, has to ask Zhang Xiaokai to help at this time.

The dagger is relatively sharp, and it is easy to cut it on the fish, and the sardines and saury are hung directly on the hook, and the inventory that has not been cleaned up after going to sea yesterday is still frozen at the moment.

A few unlucky Dungeness crabs were also broken on the spot to take meat, and they were temporarily improvised.

After the second line was put into the water, the third line with the messy bait was quickly put in.

The Cleveland is slowly moving along the gaps between the crab bait boxes, testing the piloting skills.

There's not much to worry about, and there's at least a chance to catch tuna, one of the most valuable marine fish in the world, as long as it's big enough to sell it.

A year's hard work in a fishery may not be as profitable as catching a bluefin tuna.

Whether it's hyped or not, anyway, if it's in a high-end Japanese restaurant, there will definitely be no customers willing to pay.

I was busy for more than half an hour, and then I had to wait.

It's a bit evil today, there are indeed a lot of fish on the bottom of the sea around here, a total of four fishing rods, and there is movement soon after each throw, but they are all groupers, squid, sea bass, etc., purely to delay time.

Counting from left to right, the line of the second rod and the first rod were entwined, and it took some time to untie them.

Zhang Xiaokai had nothing to do, so he found a rag to wipe his hands clean, and came to the cockpit to watch.

Little Patrick had to drive the boat and take the time to look at the sonar and the visual fish finder to try to find the fish again.

Take the initiative to help, standing next to the screen after understanding the button, Zhang Xiaokai is controlling the direction of the visual fish finder, and he is pulled to help hold the rudder and drive in a straight line.

With him, there were five people on board the Cleveland, and they were so busy that they were in a mess......

A fishing rod is suddenly bent.

Someone, under the command of little Patrick, struggled to reel in the line, and fought with the fish for about ten minutes, only to find that it was actually a giant moonfish, which weighed 100 pounds and was beautiful in color.

Seeing this kind of big fish that the sea anglers called "a fish that is difficult to catch in a lifetime, just like winning a lottery", he was so angry that a group of people scolded his mother and said all kinds of dirty words, and little Patrick never knew that there was such a fish in the nearby waters, and he also scolded his mother.

Only Zhang Xiaokai, who was busy, was still in the mood to take a photo with this beautiful big fish that was abandoned on the deck and had died when he left the water.

The old man changed his new Nokia phone N97 a few days ago, and the old Nokia N95 was given to him to use.

At this moment.

The fishing boats gradually moved out of the bait boxes and into deeper waters, about 2.5 nautical miles from the coastline.

Without restraints, the longline was put longer, the speed was slightly faster, and the old fishing boats in the distance were also approaching, and the two boats were about a thousand meters apart, using the longnet fishing method, hoping to meet the big fish.

Nearly 70 minutes had passed since the first sighting of the fish, and Ronald Sr. had made three phone calls to ask if he had caught a great bluefin tuna.

The result apparently disappointed him, and many other fish were caught, including a docile California star shark that was alive when it was caught, and was thrown back into the sea after the hook was removed.

Where is fishing, it's like having just fought a battle.

All of them were exhausted, so was Zhang Xiaokai, the hateful old man called one after another, one moment saying that he had found a school of fish, and another time saying that he was not, the equipment of the old fishing boat was not good, and he had made the wrong target.

More than twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and even the old Ronald called with a tired voice, saying that he probably missed the fish and was going to squat for a while, but he came anyway to prevent the tuna from swimming back.

In his own fishing ground, the old man knew what it was like in normal times, and when he saw fish that had never appeared in the nearby seas, some of which even lived in the deep-water sea at a depth of four or five hundred meters, he couldn't help but wonder why he was so evil today, could they all come to the nearby meeting for a meeting?

After thinking about it, I didn't come to any avail, but I attributed the anomaly to the recent heavy rain in the upper reaches of the river, which attracted small fish and then large fish to this fishing ground.

The brain circuit is relatively straight, not the kind of character that likes to be more serious, and I just think it's a good thing.

It was easy to sail around here, and little Patrick asked Hank to help him steer the wheel, just like driving, and he went outside the cockpit to smoke and rest.

Seeing Zhang Xiaokai fiddling with the fish, he said casually: "Matt, if you find a fishing rod, you can fish here, don't walk around, just wrap the fishing line behind." ”

"I haven't fished before, but I can try it, thank you very much. Zhang Xiaokai did not refuse the other party's kindness, mostly because of his young age and distressing changes, the employees under the old man took good care of him, and old Patrick also made a special trip to send roast hare meat to him as lunch.

The cute bunny has just survived the winter, and he hasn't had time to grow fat, and he doesn't have much meat on his body, but it tastes great, especially after sprinkling a little chili powder.

————————

A few minutes later, he was standing at the bow of the fishing boat with a fishing rod in his hand, the sun blocking out.

There is no need to float, and you can detect the strength when a fish bites.

I wanted to catch some small fish to have a good time, but just now I watched others fishing, and Zhang Xiaokai's hands were itching.

Just like that, a few more minutes passed, and a strong force suddenly came, and he didn't stand firmly, and his body fell forward against the railing, and the whole person was dragged into the sea.

It's just that he held the fishing rod and let go when he fell from the boat......
