1844. The Hooked Catshark

The tiger and the leopard were indeed refined, and when they heard Zhong Dajun screaming, the two of them raised their heads and stared at him viciously, their eyes seemed to warn him to keep his mouth shut and not let Mao Weilong notice their small movements.

Mao Weilong's pants were soaked, he didn't realize it, and he was still lying on the side of the boat and vomiting.

Qin Shiou was worried that he would fall into the sea, so he went up and grabbed Mao Weilong, and at the same time stomped his feet to drive the tiger and leopard away: "Go, go, what are you doing here?" Do you want to respect your elders? This is your Uncle Mao, why are you peeing on Uncle Mao's legs? ”

The tiger and the leopard shook their buttocks, and finally reluctantly left.

Zhong Dajun was stunned and said, "I said Lao Qin, you are too used to these two little things, right?" Just let them pee on Kogoro like this? No, as Kogoro's brother, I can't bear this breath. ”

Qin Shiou explained: "Actually, you misunderstood, these two children are not peeing and insulting Kogoro, they are confirming the relationship." Only when they recognize it as their own will they pee on the signal, just as they pee to mark the territory. ”

Zhong Dajun drank a little too much, his brain was about to become a pulp, he shook his head in disbelief, Qin Shiou called him to send Mao Weilong to the cabin together, and with Mao Weilong in this way, he forgot to continue to ask about it.

After staying at sea for two days and two nights, they caught more than a dozen bluefin tuna, and Butler, who stayed on the boat together, was amazed again and again, Zhong Dajun didn't understand what this old black was surprised by, or Mao Weilong explained to him and told him the low probability of catching bluefin tuna now, and he understood what was happening on this boat.

The last thing to do is to start the string and pull up the rope net that has been placed in the ocean with a machine. The fishermen who had left two days ago had returned, and more than twenty fishermen had stayed in the stern of the boat ready to work.

See here. Mao Weilong was strange and asked, "Isn't it just closing the net?" Why do we need so many people to do the work? I mean to say. We've been guarding the nets, and we've caught the fish when they've taken the bait, but there's no fish on the net now, right? You don't need to use so many people, do you? ”

Qin Shiou instructed the fishermen to use the direction finder to measure the electrical signals to find the hooks one by one, and then explained: "What we caught is a big fish that can drive the rope net, and there are fish on the net now, many fish, small fish in bluefin tuna, and other kinds of big fish such as cod, which have to be removed." ”

The fishing boat moves slowly, with the bow at a 30-degree angle to the rope. The boat took the line and the speed increased little by little, and by the time it reached 6 knots, the speed of the ship stabilized.

The process of longline fishing is a test of the driver's skill and experience, when there are no fish and when there are fish, the speed of the boat is different, Qin Shiou acts as an observer at the stern of the boat, and constantly transmits the catch signal to the Shaq who drives the boat.

When there are no fish, the fishing boat travels at six knots, and when there are fish. Shaq will slow down the boat and try not to let the fish swim to the bottom of the boat so that it is easier to pick up the fish.

There are so many fishermen in the stern of the boat, and their work is tedious. When the rope is pulled up, they have to quickly remove the floats, branch lines, alarm buoys and buoy lights from the main line and arrange them.

This work is as busy and heavy as when the line is released, in order to facilitate the next release of the net. Fishermen have to check for problems with the main and branch lines, and cut and connect them immediately if they find any damage. Then the main line is wrung directly into the main trunk behind the ship, and the branch line is taken off. Arrange the baskets.

Of course, the fishermen also have to sort the fish that the rope brings in, mainly salmon and cod, especially Atlantic cod, which are easy to appear in the upper water and are voracious, and easy to take the bait.

In the end, they also caught a small shark, Qin Shiou took a look, this guy turned out to be a member of the seven brothers of the cat shark, this guy was frightened, when he was pulled out of the water by the rope, he struggled desperately, and a fisherman who grabbed the rope was almost dragged into the sea.

The fishermen were amazed, and someone said, "Wow, this little guy is so energetic, and lo and behold, it's like an electric rabbit, snapping, clicking, clicking, clicking, ”

At this time, a cat shark jumped out of the sea, and then another cat shark jumped out, and several cat sharks jumped out of the water one after another, looking at the fisherman on the boat in panic.

In this way, Qin Shiou was even more sure of the identity of the cat shark on the net rope, it must be one of the seven brothers, this guy is really unlucky, it must have just been hooked, otherwise with the strength and sharp teeth of the seven cat shark brothers who were transformed by the energy of the sea god, the rope would have been bitten off a long time ago.

Although he is not a descendant, the seven brothers with a funny temperament are also Qin Shiou's acquaintances, so he has to help.

There are fishermen who are ready to cut off the strands and release the cat shark, this fish cannot be eaten or sold, there is no need for fishermen not to catch it.

Qin Shiou shook his head and said don't do this, cutting off the strand can indeed let the cat shark go, but it will leave the huge hook in its mouth, it can live, but it can't live well. Catsharks are not other large sharks, and this big hook for bluefin tuna hurts them a lot.

dragged the shark up, Qin Shiou went up to appease it, these guys have been absorbing the energy of the sea god, and they are very sensitive to the sea god breath on his body, so when it came into contact with Qin Shiou, it was quiet after struggling violently just now, only the big tail kept beating the boat board and making a 'bang' sound.

In this way, Qin Shiou pressed its gills with one hand and put the other hand into the fish's mouth, shook gently and softly, took out the hook with barbs, and finally threw the cat shark into the sea.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding fishermen exclaimed again and again: "Xuete, the boss is really amazing, how did he do it?" It's a cat shark, just as aggressive! ”

"You don't know this, the boss is an ocean druid, and the fish in the sea especially like the boss, just like I do."

"Bull, it's disgusting for you to say that, and of course I like bosses too. But this matter, I think it has to be explained like this, love can transcend species, this shark must have felt the kindness of the boss, so it quieted down. ”

"OK, OK, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pack up the rope and go home, I'm going to see Winnie and her son." Qin Shiou said angrily, and the fishermen burst into laughter and dispersed to continue the work at hand.

Of course, the seven catshark brothers could not feel Qin Shiou's love and kindness to them, but they were now full of kindness to the fishing boat and the fisherman on it, and they had been following the fishing boat and jumping out of the water from time to time.

The fishermen were moved by this scene, and they all said: "These sharks are thanking the boss, look, they have been following around, is this the way sharks thank humans?" ”

Qin Daguan originally thought so, and he was quite moved in his heart, these cat sharks are quite conscientious. But after he put the Poseidon consciousness into the seawater, he found that this was not the case at all, the reason why these little followed the boat all the way was that they went to eat the fish caught on the line in advance!
