1184.Wild Fisherman Event (4/5)

The Seagod Consciousness explored around, and the four consciousnesses happened to attack in all directions, and Qin Shiou was stunned to see hundreds of blue marlin swimming quickly nearby.

These fish live in water at a depth of forty or fifty meters, and their strong and powerful tails swing like arrows in the water, and they are very fast.

I don't know when it started, there were so many Atlantic blue marlin in the fishing grounds, Qin Shiou controlled the sea god's consciousness to explore quickly, and found that there were hundreds of big fish that were more than two meters alone, and there were other smaller fish, and there were even more of them!

This surprised Qin Shiou, because he did not move the blue marlin to the fishing grounds, but only brought a big fish from George Shoal the year before last, and these fish did not seem to be attracted by the big blue marlin, because the two sides ignored each other, and the big blue marlin was active in the deep sea of more than 800 meters.

Don't look at the blue marlin, but they are extremely fierce predators in the ocean, small fish, shrimp and crabs can hunt, and even they can eat smaller turtles!

In addition, because blue marlin swim fast and like to cruise around, they consume energy quickly and constantly need to hunt to replenish energy.

When these blue marlin arrive at the fishing grounds, they hunt for the remaining capelin and large numbers of herring mackerel, and even cod that is not large enough to escape their hands, and if they are accidentally targeted, they will also be preyed.

Blue marlin is one of the least popular species of fish in private fisheries, and it has average meat quality and can be used as a food fish, but it is a very common food fish. The value is more in size, and as a sport fishing, catching blue marlin can give people a sense of pride.

In the world-famous novel "The Old Man and the Sea", the old man caught the super big fish. It's an Atlantic blue marlin, and this guy can grow up to six or seven meters in length. In 2013, a British angler named Kevin Gardner. Just in the Atlantic Ocean, a giant blue marlin with a length of 6 and a half meters was caught, weighing about 600 kilograms!

The one who came to the Daqin Fishing Ground was not so big, Qin Shiou searched and saw that there were two big fish that had to be five meters long, this one was also very impressive, and most sharks could not grow so big.

Hamandan is a master fisherman, and after the blue marlin was hooked, he began to patiently fight it for a long time, biting his lower lip with his teeth. Constantly retracting and releasing the fishing line, consuming the strength of the fish.

Qin Shiou went over to help, catching this fish is the same as bluefin tuna, it needs a harpoon, when the fish is pulled out of the water and reaches the vicinity of the fishing boat, it must be given a fork, otherwise at the last moment, it may burst out with strong strength to break the fishing line and escape after being frightened.

It took half an hour for the little prince to pull the big fish to the yacht.

When the fish showed its cylindrical body. Hamdan judged its identity and said with some disappointment: "It's not a bluefin tuna, it's an Atlantic blue marlin!" ”

Blue marlin is certainly not as valuable as bluefin tuna.

Qin Shiou comforted him and said, "Wow, this fish is big enough." It's a big fish! ”

For anglers, catching Atlantic marlin is also an honor, so the spirits are lifted. Gritting his teeth, he dragged the fish into the dinghy and muttered, "OK." It's not bad to catch this guy too! It's a good sign, and there's another bluefin later. Then everything is perfect! ”

The blue marlin is still about six or seven meters away from the fishing boat, which is not a suitable distance for throwing harpoons, and it is a bit remote.

But Qin Shiou didn't say a word, his eyes stared at the big fish dragged up, and suddenly the arm muscles rose, his body stretched like a full moon, and he threw the harpoon out!

With a crisp sound, the harpoon shot through the air and landed precisely on the back of the big fish.

The blue marlin struggled, Hamandan let go of the wheel seat, let it pull the fishing line to return to the light, and then looked at Qin Shiou with appreciation and praised: "Cool, Brother Qin Shiou, a very accurate projection, you knocked it down!" ”

He knew that the fish would not be able to escape, and as long as it was shot by a harpoon, even a shark would be in danger, let alone a blue marlin.

Blue marlin is the most reluctant fish in the water, they need to swim at high speeds, so it is necessary to ensure that the smooth skin of the fish is not harmed, and once injured they cannot swim quickly, so it is difficult for them to get food and continue to live.

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "For fishermen, this is the most basic. ”

The smoking gun that traveled with the boat smiled: "In fact, there are very few fishermen who can reach the level of dart shooting like BOSS, if there is a dart shooting competition now, then I bet that BOSS you can win the championship." ”

Qin Shiou asked with interest: "What's going on with the blue marlin competition?" ”

Halfdan, who was busy dragging blue marlin onto the boat, turned around and said, "You don't know these Atlantic traditions? As far as I know, your Treasure Island Fishermen like to do the same, and this is how the Fishermen used to fight bravely. ”

Qin Shiou really didn't know that he was not like the little prince who had the money and leisure to travel across the world.

Smoking Gun further explained to him that the activity of shooting blue marlin, as the name suggests, is to shoot blue marlin with darts, which is an activity derived from the activity of shooting sailfish.

In the early years, the fishermen wanted to shoot blue marlin, not only because it was a way to test a man's true courage and ability, but also because the swordfish caught by the dart would not coagulate in the body and would not smell fishy, which showed the freshness and value of the fish.

Blue marlin is not included in Canada's restricted fishing list, because of its large size and rapid activity, it is difficult to concentrate fishing on a large scale, and it has not caused fatal harm to its resources, so it naturally does not need artificial protection.

Since the mid-sixties, when fishery harvests were counted on a global scale, the annual production of blue marlin has remained stable at around 13 to 15 000 tonnes, and so far only two years - 1970 and 1973 - have reached 20 tonnes, indicating that their ethnic resources are in good condition.

Knowing about this sport, Qin Shiou had a plan in his heart, and there were a lot of big blue marlin in the fishing ground, and he had found hundreds of them in this sea area alone, and he could also have an activity in the fishing ground to hunt blue marlin.

After returning to the shore, he gathered the fishermen and said that according to his family's secret observation and fish finder detection, there were a lot of blue marlin in the fishing grounds, and he should do a dart shooting activity.

Naturally, the fishermen responded, claiming to be descendants of Vikings and wanting to prove that they possessed the prowess and prowess of their ancestors.

Dart shooting blue marlin is the most able to show this activity, think about it, a man on a fishing boat, against the roaring waves, bare arms holding a heavy dart gun, when there is a blue marlin jumping out of the water, that shot up, harvest a three or four meters long big fish, is there more to make a man's blood boil?
