Section 41 The largest cod, fishing grounds

The whole fishing line was stretched straight, the fishing rod was bent very much, and Chen Rui was quickly putting the fishing line, and from time to time he collected it a little.

Judging by the power coming from the line, this fish is a large fish, probably larger than the largest he has ever seen.

Fortunately, the fishing line used by Chen Rui is a special gravitational line with very strong tensile strength, so it has not been broken.

If it had been replaced with ordinary silk thread, it might have been broken a long time ago.

Or if you are an ordinary person, you will be caught off guard, and you may be dragged into the sea by big fish.

Chen Rui's big movement here attracted the attention of everyone on the coral reef.

Many people stopped fishing, threw down their fishing rods, and gathered behind Chen Rui, and a group of people looked at the sea excitedly.

"It's a big fish, the line is stretched straight, and the rod is bent so badly, with my more than ten years of fishing experience, I guess it weighs at least dozens of kilograms."

"The fishing skills are good, very powerful, so involving the sea fish, the strength of the force is very accurate, the fish walk is so smooth, is a fishing veteran."

Behind Chen Rui, everyone watched such a big movement on the sea, and they all talked about it.

Chen Rui held the fishing rod, stared at the sea with his eyes intently, tightened the fishing line, and acted very resiliently, sometimes releasing the line, sometimes pulling the line, pulling the fish escaping in the sea, letting the fish swim with the fishing line, and letting the fish turn and swim in a figure-8.

In this way, the repeated walking has a good grasp of the rhythm of leading the fish and walking the fish.

It took more than half an hour to toss and pull the fish to the shore.

Even after tossing in the sea for so long, the big fish under the water still kept rolling and struggling.

"What a big cod."

"Here's a little bit of a favor." An enthusiastic fishing friend shouted.

Suddenly, three young men jumped into the water.

One person holds the head of the fish, one person holds the belly of the fish, and one person holds the tail of the fish, trying to drag the big fish up.

The big fish began to realize the danger, and began to roll violently as if it were coming back to the light, struggling desperately to escape.

Caught off guard, the three of them rushed forward and were almost taken to the water, but fortunately, they reacted quickly enough to quickly exchange steps and stabilize their bodies.

His forehead was sweating, and he was visibly struggling.

Seeing this, Chen Rui said badly, threw down the fishing rod, and jumped into the water.

"You let go, I'll come." Chen Rui threw himself into the water, hugged the fish's belly with his whole body, and hugged his arms like an iron hoe, not daring to relax in the slightest, and slowly walked towards the shore.

The big fish struggled desperately and tumbled violently.

However, Chen Rui's arm around the big fish was like an iron file, and the big fish didn't move at all no matter how desperately he struggled.

"It's so much strength, several adults can't hold it down, and Chen Rui is holding it to death alone."

Chen Rui dragged the big fish ashore and placed it on the shore.

The big fish lay on the ground, no longer had the strength to struggle, but the mouth of the fish still opened and closed.

When the big fish was dragged ashore, everyone realized how big the fish was, the whole body was a person tall, almost 1.7 to 1 meter tall, with a black back, a silver belly, and coin-sized scales.

"What a big fish." Everyone said with emotion.

After taking a breath, Chen Rui put the big fish on the fishing boat and planned to go back.

After a lot of commotion just now, and the time was almost noon, everyone was hungry, and everyone was no longer interested in fishing.

Take a fishing boat back to the island marina.

There were a lot of people at the docks, the porters on the docks, a group of biologists and their assistants who had heard the news and came to live on the island, and the construction workers on the island.

They all ran to the dock to see the big fish.

Everyone pointed around the big fish and talked about it.

"If you weigh such a big cod, you might be able to break the world record." A biologist said.

Hearing this, someone picked up their mobile phone and checked it.

The world record for the largest cod was found.

In 2013, a German angler caught a 5-foot (1.5-meter) cod that weighed 103 pounds (47 kilograms) in Norwegian waters, breaking the 44-year-old world record by 5 pounds.

"This cod must have broken, and it was more than 1.7 meters long."

"Weigh it and see how much it weighs."

Someone brought a tape measure and measured the length, 1.72 meters.

Someone else brought in a scale, and then weighed it, and the big fish was actually 118 pounds and 12 ounces (about 53.5 kilograms).

Without a doubt, Chen Rui caught the biggest cod to date and broke the record for the largest cod two years ago by 15 pounds.

"Come, let's pick up the fish and take a picture." Someone mentioned yì.

"Okay."

Everyone agrees.

The big fish is only 1.7~1.8 meters long, which is only enough for 5 or 6 people to embrace.

The person standing next to the big fish grabbed the opportunity to hold the fish, one person hugged the fish head, four people held the fish body, one person held the fish tail, split the mouth, smiled, and was able to hold a big fish that had just broken the world record to take pictures, which is a very proud thing.

Chen Rui stood in the middle and hugged the belly of the fish, and his body was **.

"Come on, eggplant."

"What's the most corny way to take pictures in the world, you know?"

"That's taking pictures with scissor hands."

The next day, Chen Rui submitted an application to the International Fishing Association.

As for the cod, they were released in the fishing pond with speartails as companions—

Chen Rui discovered that a small area of the sea near the island of Tortuga was rich in cod.

Therefore, it was decided to use various artificial conditions to cultivate a natural fishing ground for the sea area of several tens of nautical miles near the island of Tortuga.

Chen Rui chose the location of the fishing ground in the sea area a few dozen nautical miles northeast of the eastern part of Tortuga Island.

There are many reasons why I chose this place.

First, there are various favorable conditions for the formation of natural fishing grounds.

Extending from the coast to the underwater part of the continental seabed about 200 meters deep, the sun is abundant here, the biological photosynthesis is strong, the coastal wind prevails, the wind blows from the land to the ocean, the sea water flows from the shore to the depths of the ocean, the seawater in the departure sea area is reduced, and the cold sea water at the bottom of the ocean is replenished, that is, the up-compensation current, which brings a large amount of phosphate and silicate to the surface of the seawater and becomes the bait for plankton, which multiplies in large numbers and is the bait for fish.

Second, Chen Rui's legal counsel considered the matter very comprehensively, and obtained the exclusive economic zone off the coast of Tuoheituga Island from the Haitian government and government at the time of the purchase of the island.

Under the EEZ system, one of the most important is Chen Rui's right to "explore and exploit, conserve and manage" biological resources.
