Chapter 572: Winning the bid

The last 100 meters were also strenuous but much smoother thanks to Anaya, who broke out again when the big fish in the water were pulled up the shallow waters. In the water dozens of meters away from starboard, a big wave suddenly turned, and a black object could be faintly seen in the wave, which would roll under the water for a while, and then run to the surface of the water, and make a large splash with its tail.

Whenever the big fish gets angry, Hong Tao will loosen the power drain a little bit to offset the explosive power of the big fish, and after it calms down, he will reel in the line little by little. At this time, the sky was already dark, Hong Tao looked at his watch, the difference was 10 minutes and 5 o'clock, from the fish to now, more than 2 hours have passed, the big fish is still in the water dozens of meters away, it is estimated that it will take about half an hour to 1 hour to pull it to the side of the boat.

Just when the sky was bright, the big fish finally had not fought the yin and poisonous humans, and was pulled little by little into the shallow water a few meters away from the side of the boat, at this time it was powerless to return to the sky, the depth of the water here was only less than 2 meters, for its size, it was too shallow, it could not exert its full energy at all, not to mention that it had no energy now.

"Get on the speedboat, let's pull it to the shore, it's too big to lift!" Anaya first saw the problem, although the fish in the water still did not show its face, but judging from the underwater shadow, the fish should be 3 meters long, and its head was wider than a deck chair, and it was difficult to get it out of the water and onto the deck without equipment such as fishing nets.

Eventually, the big fish was pulled up to a shallow shoal less than half a meter deep, and at this point it had no choice but to leave its entire back exposed in the water, and its belly was already sunk in the river beach, unable to move forward or backward.

At this time, the whole picture of the big fish is finally revealed!

It was really big, almost as long as a speedboat, so big that Hong Tao hesitated for a long time. Only then did he dare to row the speedboat next to it to get a closer look.

Unlike the three medium-sized Satan platypus fish caught before, the size of this fish is obviously much wider, especially the first third of the body, which is almost a large round table, and the mouth is half of the round table, although it is not completely open, but Hong Tao visually inspected it, and the fat cloth should not be able to enter, at least the belly part of the belly can't get in. It seems that fat people also have the benefits of being fat people.

In addition to its large mouth, its lips are covered with tiny teeth, which are lined up in several layers, and if you let it bite, there is no chance of escaping unless you can remove a layer of flesh.

Because the fish was too big to weigh, Hong Tao and the others could only simply measure its body length and chest circumference on the speedboat. Its length from head to tail is 329 cm, and the chest circumference is 230 cm. Anaya estimates that it should weigh more than 350 pounds.

"It doesn't bite, does it?" Hong Tao was unwilling to take pictures with this once-in-a-lifetime big fish on the boat, he wanted to stand in the water, but he was afraid that the big fish would suddenly be in trouble.

"Probably not, but watch out for its tail. If it struggles suddenly, its tail is more dangerous than its mouth, and it can break your arm in one fell swoop. Anaya didn't stop Hong Tao from entering the water, but just told him not to go near the back of the fish.

"Come on. It's pretty honest. Hong Tao was the most daring, he jumped into knee-deep water and slowly rubbed next to the big fish. Reaching out and patting it on the head to see that it didn't react, he grabbed the longest whisker on its left, the root of which was as thick as a shovel handle, probably due to the fact that the front of the beard had been broken off from the tossing under the water so badly.

Seeing that Hong Tao was fine, Fat Man Bu and the sturgeon also jumped into the water and got together with the big catfish, and asked Anaya to shoot a video.

"Why is this guy still motionless? It's not going to die, is it? No matter how Hong Tao and the three of them tossed around, the fish never reacted, if it wasn't for its big mouth still open and closed, it would have thought it was a dead fish.

"It's so tired, and it needs to be in the rapids to breathe properly, and now it's in a state of hypoxia." Anaya still knows a lot about the habits of this fish.

"Then let's drag it back, it's grown so big, it's too unjust to die in our hands again. Here, take the handle, push it in. Hong Tao and the three of them briefly discussed, or decided to release the fish, this kind of big fish is the essence of heaven and earth, it is a pity to die, it is better to let it continue to live in this magical waters, but also to bring joy to other anglers.

"Dude, you're more positive!" Hong Tao and the three of them worked hard for a long time, but the big fish didn't move at all, and everyone didn't dare to pull its tail, it was useless to just push the slippery head.

In the end, Anaya found another way, he found a thick cable to make a rope sleeve, and then used the oars to help put it on the tail of the big fish, and then tied the cable to the head of the speedboat, started the hang-up of the speedboat, and pulled the big fish backwards to the deep water.

When the water depth reached more than 1 meter, Anaya untied the rope noose, and then drove back to pick up Hong Tao and Fat Zibu, and everyone watched its reaction from more than ten meters away from the big fish.

The big fish floated on the surface of the water for several minutes before finally starting to shake its body. At first, it may have been a little tired and confused, and swam straight towards the shallow water, but when its whiskers touched the bottom of the water, it seemed to realize that it had swam in the wrong direction, so it made a sharp turn, and with a flick of its big tail, its whole body sank into the water, and from the vicinity of the speedboat, like a fish, a black shadow was drawn under the water, and it disappeared.

The big fish is gone, and Hong Tao's spiritual head is also gone. Tired, hungry, sleepy, head pain, butt pain, these problems all come. Back on the boat hastily ate a few sandwiches, everyone did not rush back, but climbed into the hammock and began to sleep, Anaya also followed them for a whole night, fatigue driving is unbearable, now the wish has been achieved, it doesn't matter if you go back early or late.

It was already afternoon when I returned to the Dahe Hotel again, and the two consecutive days of night fishing not only exhausted Hong Tao and the three anglers, but even Annaya, the guide, was exhausted. Therefore, Hong Tao and the three of them did not ask to continue fishing the next day, but chose to rest for a day or two, carefully pondering what else to play.

In fact, if you just talk about fishing, there are many species of fish that have not been caught here, but many of them have specific living areas, distributed in different tributaries of the Amazon basin, and if you rely on the small ship of Anaya, even if you can catch the target fish every time, I am afraid that you will have to turn here for half a year. Hong Tao and they don't have the kung fu, nor do they have the economic strength, and what they lack is the adaptability to life in this tropical area.

Since the second day of night fishing, there have been some small red spots on the bodies of the three of them, at first there were not many, only a few on the arms, but after returning to the hotel, these small red spots have more and more, limbs and backs have appeared, many have been connected into pieces, very itchy but not dare to scratch hard.

At first, Hong Tao and the three of them quietly endured it by themselves, smearing a little bit of the medicine they brought, but after a day passed, not only did it not get better, but it also had a tendency to spread. As a last resort, Hong Tao and the three of them had no choice but to find Anaya and ask him what this thing was, whether it was poisoned by the insect bite here, or a skin disease due to the climate.

"It's eczema! Many people who come here will get this kind of skin disease, you don't have to do anything to bubble in the black water, you can relieve the condition, but I don't have the right medicine here, if the condition can't be controlled, you can only go to Manaus to see a doctor, but I am not very confident in the hospital in Manaus, they don't have any special medicine there, generally tourists who have this disease, either leave here when the condition is not serious, or go to the big city for treatment. Anaya recognized the origin of the little red dots at a glance.

"Oh, I thought it was poisoned, this thing will be fine after two days, right?" As soon as the sturgeon heard Anaya's explanation, he was immediately relieved, after all, he had heard of eczema, and it was much more reassuring than an unwitting illness.

"It's hard to say, if it's bad, the skin will be rotten, I suggest you still go to Manaus to see, if necessary, in the big city." Anaya was not as optimistic as the sturgeon, and she did not deliberately hide the condition.

"After listening to the advice of people to eat well, let's go to Manaus to see a doctor, it is better to be careful in this kind of place." Hong Tao's condition is the mildest, he only has a small red spot on his upper arm, but he still wants to go to the hospital to see, if it is determined that it is eczema, he will be relieved, after all, Anaya is not a doctor.

At noon that day, Anaya drove a small boat with Hong Tao and the three of them to Manaus downstream, and I don't know if Lu Dao was in a heavy mood or those little red dots were more uncomfortable, and the three of them were not in the mood to talk about fishing anymore.

The boat had just been running for less than 2 hours, and Hong Tao, who was lying on the second deck basking in the sun, suddenly felt that the boat was turning, as if it was about to turn around. He got up from the deck and looked around, and sure enough, the boat was turning to the left, as if to merge up with a slightly larger second-deck steamer opposite.

"Hey, get up, get dressed, someone's coming!" Hong Tao shouted at the fat cloth and the sturgeon, at this time the two of them had already taken off their little pants, and they were lying on the bench for sunbathing, this was the idea of the fat man, he said that eczema is because it is too humid, so more sun exposure is both disinfection and disease. Hong Tao is not a doctor, he thinks what Fat Man Bu said is also a little reasonable, so as soon as the three of them got on the boat, they all ran to the second deck to bask naked.
