Chapter 667: The Waves and the Sea
This time, instead of using a hook with barbs on the side of the hook, Hong Tao used the triangular tip of the spear in front of him to plunge directly into the fish's head. Due to the excessive force, the anti-scratch gloves on his hands slipped more than half a meter on the metal handle of the hook, or the mast blocked it, Hong Tao's head is estimated to hit the head of the big fish directly. The big fish was attacked so violently that its whole body writhed, and it made a big splash on the surface of the sea, and then, by the reaction force of the water's surface, it finally pulled its long mouth out of the mast, drew a half-arc, brushed the skin of Hong Tao's head, and then plunged back into the sea.
"Paul, help! The rod is still attached to me, and I am about to reverse it...... Reversing! The big fish re-entered the water, and the fish still had the hook on its head, as for how the hook was taken off, Hong Tao didn't know, anyway, as soon as he fell to the ground, he felt a gust of wind whistling over his head, and then the whole body was dragged to the sea, if he hadn't pinned the tuna door with his legs, it was estimated that he would have been taken directly into the sea.
"Abraurah, don't be stunned, go to Babu, where is Babu? I've got you, don't panic, I'm here! Cavill is worthy of his background in sports, he reacted the fastest, a vicious dog pounced on Hong Tao's left leg, and then turned on the spot, with two feet against the mast, grabbed one of Hong Tao's legs, and did not forget to command Aarbrough to find Babu, since the big fish hit the stern of the boat, Babu has not been seen again.
"Babu! …… Bob!!! Arrborough didn't care about any seasickness, so he rolled and climbed to the stern, and lay on the mast and shouted at the sea behind him.
"Don't worry about Babu first, he's floating in the sea, he's okay with a life jacket, get Hong Tao up first, cut the hook with a knife, hurry!" Paul stands at the top. He should have seen that Babu had fallen into the water, but he couldn't come down to help, so he had to control the fishing boat to reverse and try to follow the direction of the big fish, so as to reduce the pull on Hong Tao's body.
"Be careful, don't cut your neck!!" Hong Tao watched as Cavill pulled a folding knife from his belt and reached for the two hooks connected to the reel on his chest, and his sense of fear intensified, if he didn't control his hands a little on this deck that swayed back and forth. Then I'll be hanging.
"No, I can't control myself, so you should do it yourself!" Cavill tried twice, but he didn't dare to get the tip of his knife too close to the waves, and the deck was full of seawater, and he didn't dare to attack because the fishing boat was moving backwards, and the waves were coming in one after another outside the tuna door.
"Don't give me a knife, drag me up. That fish is dead! Pull me up! Hong Tao didn't pick up the knife handed by Cavill, and the line in the reel was no longer going out, which meant that the fish was no longer running, as long as he could stand up. It should still be able to control it.
"Paul, go and save the Báb first, the fish is not running away, it is estimated to be dead." Hong Tao with the help of Cavill and Yarborough. Finally, he retracted his body from the tuna door and sat back in the combat chair.
"Hey! How's our fish, lads? Leave me alone for now. Get it up, I have a GPS device on my life jacket and I won't lose it, I don't care if I'm floating in the ocean for a few hours! Soon the fishing boat was approaching the Báb in backwards under Paul's control, and he was now half-lying on the sea, the inflator on his life jacket had been turned on, and he seemed to have nothing to do, his hat was still there, and he had not lost even the pipe in his mouth that never left except to eat and sleep.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Cavill dragged Babu out of the sea from outside the tuna door, and several people on the back deck asked in unison about his condition.
"It's so exciting, you see, that guy's pectoral fin rubbed against my neck, it's hot, is it broken? Where is it? I'm going to give it a medal for wounding a Navy Colonel, a great fighter! It's really exciting! Babu was not afraid at all, as if he had won the battle, and pulled his collar open for everyone to see his right shoulder, where there was a scratch more than 10 centimeters long, and it was not bleeding much.
"How did you dodge? I think it's already stuck in you? Abel opened the whole body of the Báb and reached out and touched the belly of the Báb to make sure there was no big hole.
"Oh, I knew danger was coming as soon as this guy showed up, and it's a habit in the navy, I ......," Babu triumphantly began to tell of the scene when he had just fallen overboard.
"Don't blow it yet, help me get the fish up, it's probably dead, I can't pull it alone!" However, he was interrupted by Hong Tao at the beginning of the speech, and he spent a long time on the combat chair alone, and he couldn't drag the big guy in the water.
"Be careful, make sure it's dead before you get there!" After the cooperation of several people, the marlin was finally pulled back over, and Yarborough saw Hong Tao coming down from the combat chair, dragging the fishing line to hook the fish, and he was a little uneasy.
"This time it's dead, you can see its body is turned sideways, and it definitely won't be like this when the fish is alive." Hong Tao is now completely relieved, the fish has already flipped on its side when it was pulled over.
“1、2、3…… Pull! Although the hook hooked the gills of the fish, it was too big, more than 3 meters long, not counting the spear in front of its mouth, and Hong Tao couldn't pull it up on the head after pulling it several times, so he had to let Babu go into the water again, and tied a cable to the tail of the fish, and then the four of them dragged the rope like a tug-of-war, and worked hard together, and finally pulled it up to the back deck.
"Have you studied Chinese Kung Fu? This one pierced its skull, no wonder it died, you pierced its brains all the way. Babu looked at the hook on the head of the marlin and asked Hong Tao in surprise.
"That's a must, my kung fu is similar to Bruce Lee's, see it, throw it casually, and stab it to death, this is called a flying gun! …… My physical exertion is a bit high, and I'll pull it out later. In order to prove his ability, he stepped forward and wanted to pull the hook off the fish's head, but unfortunately he tried several times and was unsuccessful.
"How much does it weigh, Babu?" Paul's main concern is not whether Hong Tao can do kung fu, but the fish.
"It's at least 1,000 pounds, hehehe, it's the first time I've seen such a big marlin, and I caught it myself, thank you, Hong Tao, our fishing team has been saved." Babu roughly measured the length of the fish, gave a weight, and finally took the initiative to reach out and shake it vigorously with Hong Tao, and then hugged each other.
"I can't be satisfied, I still want to win the championship, don't be idle, since we have caught up with the fish, we have to take advantage of it, come on!" Hong Tao is not as easily satisfied as Babu, he feels that he has just become addicted, and he is far from enough.
"I'm much better, count me in!" Cavill was also stimulated by the thrilling scene just now, after some tossing, his physical condition was actually better, the feeling of seasickness was gone, although it was still a little weak, but the movement was no problem.
"Okay, let's move on, but I don't want to jump into the sea again, and I don't want those fish to target me again." Babu also stirred up Hong Tao's energy, but he still had a little palpitations about the scene just now.
"Blame me just now, I forgot that marlin is so dangerous, next time there is such a situation, let's be careful, I'd rather delay a little longer than take risks, you look at the big hole, even if you hide behind the mast, it's not very safe!" Hong Tao felt that he was indeed responsible, although he had never fished for marlin, but he had seen a lot of it in the video in his previous life, and there were also scenes of marlin running on the fishing boat and hurting people, but he was happy just now, and he actually forgot about it. But now, after such a time, I guess I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
The brutality of the wind and waves, coupled with the life-and-death struggle with the big fish, is the charm of deep-sea trolling, and it is also a physical and mental test for anglers. At the same time, after this kind of test, everyone will have different perceptions of many things in life, which is beyond the comprehension of others, which is why so many people are keen on this kind of sport that burns money and is dangerous.
Although they had just experienced life and death, everyone was still very excited, and after catching up with the fish again, the float was thrown down with the bait, and Paul drove the boat, Hong Tao and Cavill were the main fishers, and Babu assisted, and the two Philip still couldn't participate in the battle, and the wind and waves were not only not small, but also a little bigger.
"I'd rather be an air force than a navy, it's so helpless!" After a brief lunch, Hong Tao sat on the battle chair again, watching the fishing boat sink into the deep valley for a while, and then being thrown on the crest of the waves, and immediately realized a truth.
When he was at the dock, Hong Tao looked at this fishing boat was still so high-end and high-grade, and the size of nearly 20 meters also made people feel stable. But when it came to this vast sea, the ship immediately turned into a dick, and any wave could smash it around. At this time, he couldn't see any body size, Hong Tao felt like a little ant on a dead leaf, falling into a big river, and the whole world around him was beyond his comprehension and understanding, and he was in danger of dying anytime and anywhere.
The second fish came quickly, it was still a marlin, and the middle fish was Cavill. After the strong man replenished his lunch, he regained his strength and dragged the fish over, but unfortunately it was a small Marlin, weighing less than 150 pounds, and it was a waste of half a day's effort, and he had to put it back.
