If Bei Hai wants to catch big fish, it's so simple, just let the earth dog drive away the fish that don't meet the requirements. If you really can't do it, you can hang live bait on all three hooks and pick up the biggest fish to keep. As an old fisherman, Matt may not be able to perceive the strength of a fish that is dozens of pounds, but when it comes to a difference of hundreds of pounds, as long as there are two fingers on the fishing line, he can guess that it is not far from ten.

Today can really be said to be the dark and windy night of the last month, killing people and setting fires! No, fishing is infuriating! A mile away, the Hunter could pass the sound of old Matt's gong-like voice on the Ripple, and from time to time I could hear his laughter, and then add a word or two that I couldn't hear clearly.

It was useless for Jade to hold the binoculars, now he could only see the lights on the Ripple, and the figures couldn't even see the fishing rod clearly, and the moonlight and the lights were mixed together, which made the images around the ship glow, which was very difficult to distinguish. Although it is not easy to distinguish, it is still possible to guess whether there is a fish or not.

The Hunter's first mate, Martin Sico, felt like a kitten's paw was scratching, and it was itchy to stop! He asked his captain repeatedly, "Are they biting the hook again?" ”。

The joy aboard the Night Hunter quickly vanished, and a captain in the tuna man described a captain fishing for cattle had a saying: he seemed to catch a fish every five minutes! Five minutes here is an approximate number, which describes the short interval between the bites of two fish.

The current Ripple did not reach such an exaggerated time as five minutes, but after one fish was dragged to the deck, another fish bit and hook in about an hour, and after eleven o'clock, three large fish were dragged to the deck one after another, not to mention three hundred pounds, not even four hundred pounds, and the smallest one was expected to be five hundred and fifty pounds.

Can this kind of harvest not make old Matt smile, not to mention old Matt, Qi Yiming is also very happy now, when he is happy, he doesn't vomit, his waist is not sore, and his work is also very sharp.

"Let's hold on, if there is another fish coming up, we can collect the rod tonight, and everyone can sleep peacefully," Bei Hai said to the two.

To be honest, Bei Hai didn't plan to get another fish on board, so he said this to make the two crew members think like this: his captain made a little mistake, you can see that there is still one, but there is no fish on the bait! This is also a little trick played by Bei Hai, it is never a good thing for a person to always be right, and occasionally there is a small mistake, then it is humane.

With such a decision, a boatload of three people waited until almost half past one in the night, and no fish were hooked. Without a fish to take the bait, Qi Yiming's passion slowly subsided, and he began to fight with his eyelids, and then two yawns came from time to time. Half an hour later, Matt was also a little sleepy, and pulling three fish on the boat in a row was not a joke, and he could still hold on with a breath in his heart, and he should be dispersed if he didn't get on the fish for so long.

Bei Hai scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It seems that there is a little mistake in my judgment, let's go here today, you ...... first."

Before the words were finished, Bei Hai was stunned, and the picture in the sight of the fritters appeared in his mind, the fritters were rushing towards the Ripple at a high speed, and the speed was like a sharp arrow in the water, so fast that the sea water formed an end stream at the tail.

To Bei Hai's surprise, the fritters were followed by a big fish, this big fish was not a tuna but a huge swordfish, generally speaking, a swordfish is more than one meter to two meters long, more than 100 kilograms. However, this swordfish can definitely be regarded as a big guy, this thing is more than three meters long, although the long mouth like a spear takes up one-third, but at this length, it is definitely a huge Atlantic swordfish.

Apparently the fritters seemed to irritate the ferocious carnivorous fish, which can reach a maximum speed of 130 kilometers per hour in the water, making it the fastest fish in the ocean. However, now its speed is at least the same as that of a fritter, because in the few seconds that Bei Hai observed, the distance between the two fish, one large and one small, the front and the back, has not narrowed in the slightest.

There is a very delicate relationship between the two fish, it seems that as long as the swordfish is a little faster, the huge long front jaw can knock out the 'small miscellaneous fish' in front of the eyes, and then the swordfish naturally swallows its prey in one bite, and then continues to find the next prey to knock out and eat, for this swordfish, the small body of the fritters is not even a snack, it is estimated that if it does not really anger the big swordfish, the big swordfish is not interested in watching the fritters chase it for several streets.

Bei Hai was stunned here, Matt looked at Bei Hai a little worried, obviously seeing that his captain was a little distracted, and he was about to stare out of his eyes. If someone else were like this, Old Matt would have thought to himself: This man has lost his mind and gone crazy!

But Matt didn't want such a scene to happen when he was the captain of his ship, and he didn't even dare to think about it. If that's the case, old Matt would rather Bei Hai not follow him than break his brain. Even if the body is broken, there is a brain, and you can still take everyone to find a fish to run to the future, if the brain is broken, it is not all over, can you still make yourself like the previous one to get thousands of dollars more in a fish season!

Very good, Bei Hai came back to his senses as soon as he heard what he said, and old Matt saw that the captain's eyes were dripping, and then he put his heart back: The captain is fine!

In the flash of lightning, old Matt saw that the fishing rod was bent, and this time the bend was as strong as the previous fish of more than 900 pounds.

"Fish on the hook! Big fish! Old Matt swooped out, and then a loud voice immediately made Qi Yiming's yawn disappear. The two were in place within two seconds and began to prepare for a new round of fish trolling operations.

Seeing his two crew members dragging fish like chicken blood, Bei Hai couldn't dampen their enthusiasm. This fish is a big fish, but Bei Hai does not have a license to fish for swordfish, and no matter how big this fish is, Bei Hai or the Ripple are not qualified to sell it.

Some people say that they can sell it quietly, or take this fish to a licensed boat to sell, and if there is such an idea, then Beihai can only say one sentence, hehe! Don't say if you can find someone to sell it for you, and even if you do, the risk you take is not something that can be compensated by the price of the fish.

The cost of committing a crime in the United States is too high, because a fish costs thousands of dollars to go to prison for a month or two, or public welfare work, and then you apply for something later, it is not as simple as it is now, because you are a person with a criminal record, let alone check you for a few more months, even if you are not issued a permit, you have no place to reason.

So it's really not cost-effective to do this, not because the law is not easy to violate, but because the cost of breaking the law is too high!

"Then catch it and eat it!" Bei Hai can only think of this reasonable way to deal with it, the law is not allowed to sell, but none of the laws stipulate that Bei Hai can't take it home and eat it!

After a while, Matra realized that something was wrong, because the swordfish's struggle was obviously different from that of tuna, and it struggled much harder than tuna.

"It's not like tuna!" Matt tried the strength of the fishing line and said to himself, "Is it a blue shark?" ”。 Despite this thought, as an old fisherman, Matt will not give up when he never sees a fish again, but continues to put the line away.

After a full hour and a half, the struggle came to an end, and the huge swordfish was dragged three meters away from the boat, and the fish tried to drill to the bottom of the boat, but there was no suspense after the spear gun shot by Beihai.

"It's a pity, we don't have a license to fish him!" Matt said, "If it weren't for this fish, it would be worth at least three thousand!" ”。 The price of swordfish is only a fraction of that of tuna, and the price of such a large swordfish is less than the price of more than 300 pounds of tuna.

"Captain, there's no place for it in our storage pod!" Matt looked at his captain and opened his mouth to say.

"Cut it into pieces and put it in the empty space, and when you get ashore, everyone likes to take a little back, give it away or eat it yourself, anyway, don't waste this big fish!" Bei Hai said happily while pulling the rope of the speargun.

Matt thought about it for a while, this is not bad, a swordfish of this size is definitely a good gift to give away. As soon as they thought of this, they were happy, and soon the three of them dragged the swordfish onto the deck.
