231. Harbour Night

There was no need for Qin Shiou to continue to control the big bluefin tuna, chasing the bait scattered around, and the big fish swam up greedily.

The sonar fish finder of the fishing boat made a sharp call, Qin Shiou looked at the screen, and the sea monster pointed him out: "Look, the green pattern is the image reflected back by the sonar, and this underground layer is the bottom of the sea, and this curved image is a tuna!" ”

"It's also possible that it's a shark." Qin Shiou said with a smile.

The sea monster shook his head and said, "Rookie can't tell the difference between a shark and a bluefin tuna, but a veteran can see it at a glance, looking at its swimming trajectory and swimming speed, the shark will not be so cunning to shake from side to side, it will rampage up and eat bait." But the shark can't be so fast, and if it can be so fast, it's tuna! ”

Shaq hung the live bait on the hook and tossed it down, muttering, "Come on, man, hurry up to my boat, I've bought you a ticket to Japan, have a nice trip!" ”

Live fish are even more tempting to tuna, and when it saw the Atlantic herring struggling in the sea, the bluefin tuna no longer hesitated, rushed up like an arrow from a string, opened its mouth, and swallowed the herring into its mouth.

The bait goes into the mouth of the bluefin tuna with the hook, so that as the big fish swims, the hook comes out of the herring's mouth and gets stuck in the tuna's mouth, and the line goes into the gills of the tuna - it's hooked!

The rod wheel rotated rapidly, and the main line, which was half the thickness of disposable chopsticks, was quickly pulled out, and the rod inevitably bent.

Shaq pressed the wheel seat and shouted while looking intently at the sea, "Sea monster, bring me the damn harpoon and get out quickly!" boss。 You come and sail the boat, listen to me, and let the fishing boat go backwards......"

The gills are pinched by the fishing line, the bluefin tuna struggles frantically in the water, and the sea monster picks up a harpoon and waits. At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Qin Shiou: "Before the fish is caught on the deck, that qiē does not count, even if the tuna bites the hook, the decoupling rate is 60%!" ”

Shaq was an old fisherman who did not make low-level mistakes, and he stretched the fishing line in a proper way. Constantly instructing Qin Shiou to operate the fishing boat and the tuna to maintain the same forward or backward line, always so that it could not break free from the hook.

It took more than half an hour for the tuna to get tired, but it still wanted to give it a go, and it took the opportunity to drill to the bottom of the boat.

The tigers and leopards waiting on the side of the ship tightened their ears sharply. He jumped up and jumped into the water, just stuck in the water at the bottom of the boat.

The tuna was frightened and hurriedly retreated, and Sha Ke screamed, and suddenly reeled in the fishing line, and pulled the tuna to the side of the boat at once.

The sea monster shouted, "Boss, it's the second test, look at my speargun......"

The muscles of his right arm were rock-like as he screamed and shot the speargun into the water. The exposed gills of the tuna in the center.

Suddenly, blood spurted out, and it was hit hard. Bluefin tuna has a sharp decrease in vitality.

With a rope tied to the end of the speargun, the sea monster quickly retracted the rope and pulled the tuna up with the speargun.

One feature of bluefin tuna that makes them easy to catch is the habitual raising of their tails when they come to the surface. Their purpose is to swing their tails to hit their enemies, but they are often seized by people who have the opportunity to lasso their tails.

When a sea monster shoots a bluefin tuna with a speargun. Shaq let go of his hand, and he went to get the noose and lay down on the side of the boat. Bluefin tuna raises its tail and puts the noose on it so that the fish falls into their pocket.

When Shaq puts a noose around the tuna's tail. The Kraken let go of the speargun, and he opened the stern gate and pulled the tuna up with Shaq.

The two skillfully cooperated and showed Qin Shiou the beauty of fishing skills.

Qin Shiou came out and looked at this bluefin tuna, the whole is fusiform, the body is round, the curve is smooth and graceful, like a drop of water. Its fins are a dark cyan color and its back and abdomen are silvery-gray, which proves that it is an Atlantic bluefin tuna.

Catching the fish, Shaq hung it by wrapping its tail around the crane and singing happily, "from-this-valley-they-say-youre-going,

i-will-miss-your-bright-eyes-and――smile……”

The Kraken soon sang along with his voice: "for-theysayyoure-taking-the-,that-has-d-our-path-way-a-while......"

Qin Shiou smiled and listened to the two singing, he was very familiar with this song, and it can almost be said that this is Canada's most widely circulated folk song in the world - "Red River Valley".

This song mainly expresses the residents of the immigrants in the Red River area in the north to cultivate the land, build their homes, develop the city, and finally turn the bison-infested wasteland into a beautiful home, and praises the diligence of the laborers and the longing when building the homeland.

"Boss, eat together, eat together!" Shaq said happily.

Without starting the crane, Iverson directly reached out and pulled the rope back, and then hoisted the fish, Shaq cut off the gills with a knife, and the sea monster cut the tail of the fish, allowing the blood to flow out.

Fish are cold-blooded creatures, which does not mean that their blood has no temperature, before they were struggling to escape, the temperature of fish blood was relatively high, and now the dead fish meat is cold, so that the fish blood will destroy the fish meat and make it produce lactic acid, so that the taste of the fish will be poor.

After cleaning up the fish blood, Sha Ke measured it and laughed: "Very good, 168 cm, a big guy, I estimate that as long as the meat quality of this fish is better, it will be no problem to sell it for 20,000 yuan." ”

"I want to fly it to Tokyo for auction, so the price won't be certain." The sea monster said with a smile.

Shaq looked at the fish, shook his head, and said, "This is enough to choke, the quality of this fish is average." ”

Several people were judging this fish, and on several American ships in the distance, the crew members were holding binoculars to watch Qin Shiou's side, and some people kept scolding:

"Damn, this rich Canadian guy is so lucky, he got a good fish as soon as he came."

"Fake, does even God like rich people? We've been out for a day and we haven't caught a single fish! ”

"That fish is really not small, if it would be nice for me, then I can go to Gloucester Harbour tonight to find two beautiful girls to play with."

The group took a group photo with the fish, and Iverson happily hugged the fish when he took the photo, he must have thought it was tonight's dinner, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

The reason why bluefin tuna is valuable is its rarity, and Qin Shiou and his party did not encounter any fish after catching this fish.

Of course, Qin Shiou controlled a big fish, this fish was racing at the bottom of the sea, and he must have been able to meet the same kind, and he had encountered more than ten of them, but they were all relatively small, and the largest one was more than a meter long, Qin Shiou didn't want to fish for such a small thing.

Besides, it would be too abnormal to catch too many bluefin tuna in a row, so it's better to keep a low profile when you first arrive.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky, and Qin Shiou and the others were ready to put away the fishing rod and leave.

George Shoal is some distance from the harbour and it takes more than three hours to drive back, so leave early.

At the same time, the owners of several other boats are also preparing to leave, and they will not stay at sea overnight, because most of these boats are simple fishing boats, and the ice reserves cannot be retained for two days or more.

Bluefin tuna, on the other hand, have to be bled and chilled as soon as they are caught, and fishermen need to return to the harbor to replenish the oil and ice.

and these fishing boats are all the way, Qin Shiou's destination is also the territory of the Americans, Gloucester Harbor, because the Nova Scotia Peninsula is farther away, more than 60 kilometers more. That's an hour-long flight, which takes more time and wastes more fuel.

The trawler has a lot of horsepower, a sturdy hull, and naturally travels faster, so that although Qin Shiou and the others were the last to go, they entered the port almost at the same time as the ships that left in advance.

Today, Gloucester Harbour is a world of fishing boats, trawlers and purse seine fishing boats are rare, and large and small fishing boats are scattered everywhere in the docks.

The fishermen were well known, and most of them were residents of Gloucester Harbour, so when they returned to the docks, they greeted each other, asked about catches, and joked. (To be continued)
