The alligator gar is a freshwater giant carnivorous fish endemic to southern North America, a prehistoric fish that has lived on Earth for more than 100 million years. Its name comes from the shape of the snout, which is a super-hard enamel fish scale with long hard scales all over the body, which is as hard as a human tooth.

The average adult alligator gar can be up to 3 meters long and weigh up to 300 pounds, but in their habitat, there are multiple discoveries that prove that they can be more than four meters long, such as the alligator gar in the Hilton Manor Lake, which was four and a half meters long.

In order to catch this alligator gar, the Texas government even dispatched a water guard, using a power grid and a pneumatic speargun that are strictly prohibited from civilian fishing to catch it, which took more than a day.

So now that he learned that Qin Shiou could catch this alligator gar within twenty minutes, not only Opus didn't believe it, but everyone in the farm didn't believe it, and a group of people stayed on the dock and whispered, in fact, they were whispering cynicism:

"Does this guy know what an alligator gar is? Did he think it was a pike? Catch it in twenty minutes? No way! ”

"Even a pike can't be caught in 20 minutes, can you find a fish in 20 minutes? It's funny, you're right, this guy probably doesn't know what an alligator gar is. ”

"Then when he sees such a big guy later, will he be scared to pee his pants?"

"Of course, that's for sure, Japanese people are very timid, I used a black mamba with a tooth extraction to scare a Japanese guy in middle school, haha, that guy was directly scared at that time!"

Nelson and Bird looked at the talking people with strange eyes, and some people felt embarrassed, so they reminded 'kindly': "You'd better prepare a boat to save people later." He probably didn't know the horror of an alligator gar, and it would be terrible if he stumbled and fell into the water. ”

"Yes. Alligator gars aren't giant catfish—well, maybe a full-sized giant catfish is even scarier. But this alligator gar is much bigger than the giant catfish you just encountered! ”

Nelson smiled and whispered, "A bunch of fools! ”

Bird also smiled and said disdainfully: "Stupid bunch! ”

Qin Shiou released the Seagod consciousness before starting the boat, and suddenly found the giant alligator gar basking on the water surface in the middle of the lake.

The guy was really hard to provoke from the outside, its left eye was gone, leaving only a large black hole, the hard scales around the eye socket were covered with scars, and the huge mouth occasionally opened to reveal sharp teeth growing on both sides of the upper jaw. There are two rows, each of which is hideous and sharp, completely different from the blunt teeth of the giant catfish.

Looking down, its mouth protrudes forward, similar to the snout of a crocodile, and its body is long and cylindrical, densely covered with blue-gray diamond-shaped scales, which are crystal clear and hard with dark black markings. The back is brown or olive. Because it is floating on the surface of the water to bask in the sun, the sunlight can shine on the scales of its body, reflecting the bright light of the Dao.

In fact, judging from the appearance, the alligator gar is still very beautiful. Of course, the premise is that they are smaller, and they are quite famous among aquarium fish, and have the nickname "ghost rocket". It is known as a carnivorous machine with hard scales and a living fossil in an aquarium.

Only, when a fish grows to four and a half meters. In any case, it has nothing to do with ornamentation, and all you can see now is horror!

It's not just humans who feel horrible. Other big fish in the water are also afraid of it, and when it comes out to bask in the sun, whether it is a giant catfish or a salmon, they dare not provoke it, and occasionally swim past it, and they must be careful and fast when they can.

When Qin Shiou approached it, there happened to be a Nile catfish chasing a few North American pikes swimming over, it may be more deceptive to hold the alligator gar has been floating quietly on the water, and the North American pike fish swam past it in a panic, trying to get rid of the big evil star behind.

As a result, when the North American pike twisted their bodies and swam into the figure of the alligator gar, it suddenly lowered its head and shot downward, only to see its body twist flexibly, quickly enveloping the bodies of these North American pike like torpedoes, and the big mouth opened to "click" and "click" a few times, and several North American pike were buried in its giant mouth!

At this time, the Nile catfish, which is more than one meter long, swam over, it is said that it is also a tough guy, and it is the number one killer in the waters of African rivers, but it is honest in the face of the alligator gar, and when it sees the food being plundered, it turns away honestly......

"It's really not a seed!" Qin Shiou said disdainfully, but in this way, he had a good chance to make a move, because when the alligator gar was hunting these North American pikefish from the water just now, its tail fluttered and produced a high splash, exposing his coordinates.

Killing the alligator gar was easy for Qin Shiou, and what he was embarrassed about was how to prevent these people from noticing the weirdness, especially finding the location of the fish. And now, the alligator gar's automatic exposure position gives him a reason.

Qin Shiou rowed the boat quickly, then combined nylon rope, plastic foam, and PVC long pipe, hung a fresh pike on the double-sided hook, and made seven or eight baits in a row, so that throwing them into the water formed a fishing hook net.

Seeing this scene, Opus had a mocking smile on his face, shook his head and said, "No, the method of big float fishing is useless. ”

The fishing method used by Qin Shiou is called big float fishing, fishermen are specially used to catch big fish, they use carp meat cut into pieces as bait, and cast many large float fishing on the water surface at night, so that when the big fish bite the hook, there is the buoyancy of styrofoam, they can not escape, and will be easily pulled up in the end.

But Opus has a point, it likes to drag its food for a distance before swallowing the bait, so that when it comes to the surface and swims, it will find the PVC plastic pipe and plastic foam moving after it, and even if there is no pull, they will be alert to leave, so this method is useless against them.

But this is useful for Qin Shiou, after the pike was put down, the alligator gar quickly spotted their figure, so that the dogfish swung their bodies in horror and wanted to escape, which quickly attracted the interest of the alligator gar, and it rushed over violently.

Because of the curve of their bodies, alligator gars swim silently like ghosts, and they are as fast as rockets ascending into the sky, which is the origin of their nickname 'ghost rockets'.

This guy is very greedy, and after swimming over, he does not bite a fish and surface, but bites several dogfish into his mouth one after another, and then habitually floats to the surface of the water to swim.

said that it was too late, and at this moment, Qin Shiou waved his arm and shot the harpoon in his hand!

The people on the shore were dumbfounded, and someone shouted: "There are still twenty meters away, he thinks he is a marksman......

Before he finished speaking, he came to an abrupt end, because the blood on the surface of the lake had already begun to churn with the splash! (To be continued.) )
