After being disturbed by killer whales.

Those who didn't catch a fish understood that all the fish in the sea should have run out at this moment, and they had missed this rare opportunity.

The captain saw that the figure on the radar that was moving at high speed disappeared and stopped sailing.

Extinguished the engine, lit a cigarette and walked out the door, smiling at the anglers running around on the deck.

Bluefin tuna, even if they are about to lose power, will not stop.

Because "stop" is the same word for them as "death", and without the current hitting their gills, bluefin tuna can't breathe.

So some bluefin tuna, which are relatively weak, gradually slowed down after more than an hour

One of the sailors was sweating profusely, his chest was like a bellows, and he was panting heavily.

He laughed and said, "Look! I'm sure I'll catch this fish!"

It's at least two meters long!

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and took a knife, severing the only bond between himself and the bluefin tuna.

Han Xuanzheng was surprised by his movements, and someone on the other side shouted: "I'm a little bigger than yours, more than two meters two."

It's the first time I've caught such a big guy. ”

After saying that, he also cut the fishing line.

One by one, the small bluefin tuna were released by them, and after being unrestrained, the tuna gradually regained their speed and swam away, dived into the sea, and disappeared.

Fish that can be caught just by looking at it.

It took more than an hour to catch a fish that took all my strength to catch it.

Just let it go?

Han Xuan looked up and asked the captain who walked up to him, "Why did they do this?"

"Release, keep fishing, these bluefin tuna will die.

You can catch as much as you need, you can't kill for fun, and if you eat or sell it, God won't blame you for it. ”

The captain walked a few meters away from the boy, continued to smoke, and said in his mouth: "There are no barbs in the hooks, and after cutting the rope, it will not be long before those hooks fall off."

Even if they don't fall off, they won't die, but they won't be able to eat for the first few days.

When I was young, I found six rusty hooks in the mouth of a grouper, the kind with barbs, and it was alive and well.

Recently, there has been a growing sense of protecting marine life, and barbed hooks are not used unless they are fishing for special fish, such as eels.

Don't worry.

You see, they've swam away, they'll be fine. ”

"But such a valuable fish, willing to let it go like this?" Han Xuan agreed with this approach in his heart, but he really couldn't figure it out.

"Valuable? Bluefin tuna?

It's okay, about ten dollars a pound.

The boat is private, we have a high salary, we don't have to fish at will, and a lot of people are staring at our bosses, especially the animal protectors.

I remember in 1972, the Japanese came to Canada to buy bluefin tuna for a few cents a pound.

Now there are more people who like to eat this fish, and the price has risen sharply in recent years, but it is difficult to catch it. ”

Han Xuan listened to the captain's indifferent tone, as well as the price of bluefin tuna he said, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Last time, there was a yellowfin tuna, stranded on the beach, and it happened that the employees of the Snow Mountain Investment Company came to the party, ate some of it, and the animals also ate a lot, and the rest was distributed to others, so I don't know the specific price.

Compared with the bluefin tuna that used to move for hundreds of dollars a kilogram, I don't know how many times cheaper now!

The king of fish every year can even sell for millions of dollars in Japan!

Han Xuan muttered to himself, in another twenty years, the number of bluefin tuna will drop sharply, and these people will probably regret that their intestines are blue

Zaitsev, next to the railing, also cut the rope.

He caught a big tuna of about 2.5 meters, and when he let it go, he walked over and sat in the open space on the deck.

Taking the captain's words, he smiled: "We only need one fish, these are protected animals."

Just now, there was a bluefin tuna that he killed by himself, and the shark bit off his tail, and he can still eat it, so keep it.

We enjoy the process of fishing, and we don't sell it for money, and it's useless to catch more.

Look at my hands, they're still shaking, it's so exciting!"

Unexpectedly, these second ancestors still paid attention to the protection of animals, and Han Xuanchao was still competing with Gabriel and George, who were still competing with the big tuna, and said: "Let's let it go too!"

"Don't, don't!

We're little tuna, what a shame you put this one!

Maybe it can break the record for the largest bluefin tuna right now, but I don't remember what the exact number is.

It's too far away to see the length, and it must be past the age of being able to reproduce, so let's catch it.

With its size, it is not surprising that it will take several hours to catch it.

This time, I used 80 kg of fishing line, so I don't know if I can make it to the end......"

Harris's mahi mahi had been eaten at noon, and was now sitting cross-legged by the deck, concentrating on continuing to fish.

Isabelli is all about tourism.

Her bodyguards caught several species of fish, even a large octopus!

At that time, I caught a salmon first, and then the octopus took the salmon as a prey.

When he was caught, he was still holding the salmon, and he didn't let go of his claws, and Han Xuan planned to make it into octopus balls, or teppanyaki takoyaki or something, but he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

Coupled with the original sailfish, as well as Jason's lackey, the big marlin that smashed into his boat, together is actually enough to eat for a long time.

However, Zaitsev said that this big tuna has lost the ability to reproduce, and it doesn't matter if it is caught or not.

It was early in the afternoon.

The other sailors had already finished fishing, and the noon experience was enough for them to digest for a long time.

At the moment, they are all looking at the bluefin tuna in the sea.

After the initial struggle, it is much easier to hold on to the rod and deal with the occasional resistance of the tuna for the rest of the day.

Everyone on the boat tried it, and the sense of power brought by this big tuna, Han Xuan was no exception.

In "The Old Man and the Sea", the big marlin can drag the old fisherman's boat away, but the BB has no such worries.

Bluefin tuna can only spin in place or swim back and forth on both sides to ensure that the line does not slacken, and there is no possibility of it getting off the hook.

The bluefin tuna that had accidentally collided with a man-eating shark had lost its tail.

After measurement, the length is two meters and one five, and the part that is bitten off is added, and it is estimated that it can be about two meters six.

At the moment, it is hung with iron hooks along with swordfish and large marlin, and when it is bled out, it is temporarily stored in the refrigerator, so as not to give bacteria and parasites a chance to multiply.

The horizon is turning red.

The BB followed the current, and could already see the coastline of Seventeen Mile Bay.

From the time this bluefin tuna is hooked, a total of four hours and fifty-five minutes have passed.

Now, it has finally resigned itself to its fate.

After struggling for half a minute, he turned his belly and floated on the surface of the sea, gradually sinking.

When George started to reel in the line, he resurfaced.

When it got closer, a sailor jumped into the sea, tied a chain to its tail, and hoisted it to the deck with a crane.

It is a very beautiful fish, there is no superfluous place in the body, and the lines are beautiful.

I heard that many torpedoes were borrowed from them at first.

When Han Xuan saw it, the bluefin tuna's mouth was still opening and closing, and it no longer had the strength to continue moving.

Reeves took out a knife and stabbed it hard through the back where its head and body were connected.

He said to Harris, who looked scared: "It is now equivalent to the hypoxic state of human beings, and it is comfortable to die." ”

"Well, I know the book says that sometimes cruelty is kindness. ”

After pulling out the knife.

Reeves asked people to find something, plugged the wound, and the blood was also part of the weight.

Zaitsev hurriedly brought a tape measure.

The crew immediately became nervous, for them, catching a record-breaking big fish was equivalent to breaking a world record at the Olympic Games.

The tape measure is close to the surface of the tuna's skin, and it is measured straight from head to tail.

Zaitsev's half-squinted eyes suddenly widened at the moment he saw the number, and he said in surprise: "432.7 centimeters!

"Nope. ”

Isabelle poured cold water on them and continued: "I watched last year's Giesney Records, and the longest bluefin tuna was 435 centimeters. ”

"It's just three centimeters," Han Xuan would not doubt that her brain could remember wrongly, and her tone was a pity.

Then I went to weigh it, and in order to ensure accuracy, I also took a bottle of mineral water, tried it in advance, confirmed that it was correct, and then put the fish on it.

“…… 415.57 kg, girl, what about this time?"

"It seems to be more than that, Gisney records the heaviest tuna 402.41 kilograms. ”

"Haha!"

"I knew it! I've never seen such a big bluefin tuna in my life!"

Han Xuan patted the tuna and said with a smile: "It's not as long as that fish, and being fat is also an advantage......

After some celebration.

The BB headed for the pier, where the water was more than 20 meters deep enough to carry the big boat.

The sunset on the horizon is now even more dazzling.

The sea lions were lying on the stones, their skin thick and shameless, as if no one else was doing something shameful.

Late autumn is also the time for them to mate.

The little beluga whale skin emerged from the water, blinked its smart eyes, and swam happily towards the approaching BB.

As soon as they reached the vicinity of the fishing boat, a herring fell from the sky.

Pippi subconsciously bit it, his mind was confused, and then he saw that on the deck above his head, Han Xuan threw another fish down.

Before it was dark, Han Xuan asked Jason to go back to the Peninsula villa and bring the camera.

and everyone on the BB fishing boat, collectively surrounded the fish, and took a photo as a souvenir (to be continued.) )
