Chapter 553: Surubin and Katyura
"I look like a pike!" Hong Tao rubbed his eyes and looked into the water again, but the fish was still tossing and turning, and he never saw too clearly.
"Haha With the help of the sturgeon, the fat man caught the fish's mouth with his claws and finally lifted it up.
"It's really not a dogfish, it's so good-looking! It's like the tropical fish you have at home! Hong Tao saw the whole picture of this fish at this time, and it was really not a dogfish.
It is about 6 or 70 centimeters long, its body is long and round, its head occupies a quarter of its length, and its large mouth is a bit like the shape of a crocodile's mouth, full of sharp teeth, and it has several layers.
Despite his ferocious appearance, Surubin had a beautiful coat of skin, which was devoid of scales and had a tough skin, a bit like a black fish, but without that much mucus. This layer of skin is full of leopard-like stripes, from the back to the abdomen, black and yellow, black and white, both regular and freehand, I have to say, the painter and designer of nature is really tasteful.
Although this Surubin is not a big fish in Anaya's mouth, after all, it is the first serious fish caught in the Amazon River, and it is so beautiful, so Hong Tao and the three of them still took a photo with it one by one, and then put it back in the water.
With the first fish on the bait, everyone's mood is much more steady, which shows that the bait works, and the fishing point is correct, and the rest is to compete with the fish for patience.
More than ten minutes later, the second fish was also caught by Hong Tao, this one was not Surubin, but a kind of guy who looked as flat as a cochineal, and Anaya told Hong Tao that this was the Bagu fish, which was the second most fish in the Amazon basin, and it ate everything, from small insects and shrimp to leaves and fruits. That's why the locals call it pigfish.
Since it is not a scarce fish, Hong Tao did not think about whether to release it, and threw it directly in a bucket to take it back to fight the tooth sacrifice, according to Anaya, although the name of this fish is not very good, but the meat quality is still good, and it tastes good with bananas and fried in oil.
Speaking of bananas, I have to complain about Brazilian bananas here! When he was shopping for food at the Manaus Pier, Hong Tao saw a stall selling bananas, so he leaned over and asked, the price was really cheap. A bunch of bananas costs only 5 reais, no, a bunch!
Here in Manaus, bananas are not sold by the pound, but by the bunch, that is, a bunch cut from the banana tree, almost every bunch costs more than ten catties, not for nothing.
It doesn't matter how much it is, bananas are high in calories anyway, so it's easy to digest. Just eat it as a snack. Hong Tao thought it was good, but the reality was very cruel. This banana can't be eaten raw at all, and it's completely different from domestic bananas except for the same appearance. It's neither sweet nor slippery, and it chews like a raw sweet potato, crispy!
After passing through Annaya, Hong Tao learned about the Tao. No one here eats bananas raw, except for monkeys, they are fried and eaten as vegetables. Isn't this a pit man! Therefore, when you go to Brazil in the future, you must taste it first and then buy it when you want to buy it, so as not to buy the wrong one.
Since Hong Tao's bagu fish was hooked, it seems that the mode of fishing for Bagu fish has been started, and a Bagu fish has been caught every few minutes, not only Hong Tao, but also Fat Man Bu and sturgeon.
"I said Master Hong! You can collect the magic power when you are old, this is almost 20, enough to eat, let them all disperse! The sturgeon couldn't help it, seeing that the fat cloth had been opened, but he hadn't caught a serious fish yet.
"If you have the ability to fish it yourself, it's my business!" Hong Tao was also depressed, and finally avoided the piranha, and another group of Bagu fish came.
"Why don't we change the fishing position again! I can see that these little fish are just like white stripes, they are a group of people when they come, and you can't get rid of them with bricks. "The fat man is also tired of fishing.
"Change it! Anaya, lift the anchor! Hong Tao felt that Fat Zibu's suggestion was very pertinent, and now that he was familiar with this water, he didn't need Anaya to do it, and he knew what to do.
As the saying goes, people move the living tree to die, and sure enough, after changing a fishing spot, good luck came again, this time it was two people who caught the fish, the sturgeon and the fat cloth were caught in the fish almost at the same time, one was on the left side of the boat, and the other was on the right side of the boat.
The fat man's rod waist is soft, so the fish control is not so flexible, Hong Tao was embarrassed to let Anaya shoot again this time, so he put on a pair of anti-scratch gloves and helped the fat manbu to pull the fishing line. The sturgeon's rods and fishing reels were very powerful, and it didn't take 2 minutes to pull the fish up under the water.
"What the hell is this! It's too dirty! "The sturgeon was a new species, with a dark red body covered with small black spots, a large head that became thinner and thinner the way back, no scales on the body, but three protruding bony edges and a tail that extended from the top of the head.
"Good fellows! You've caught the scavenger's ancestors! Hong Tao only glanced at it, and could guess what kind of thing it was, it looked like a scavenger in a fish tank, that is, it was dressed in a flower coat, and the other was a little big, half a meter long.
"We had fish soup to drink in the evening, it was Bodao fish, and the fish stew was delicious!" Anaya didn't wait for Hong Tao to make a move, stretched out his foot and stepped on the fish, and then took the hook out of its mouth and threw it directly into the bucket, probably because he was afraid that Hong Tao would release them again.
In fact, this ugly guy also has a very literary scientific name, called anglerfish, which is also a kind of scavenger, and belongs to the catfish family. Brazil and Venezuela are their homeland, but with the trend of raising tropical fish, it has made its way into Chinese waters. Because it has no natural predators in China, and it eats a lot of food, it eats whatever it encounters, so it is potentially harmful to China's wild fish species, which can be regarded as a biological invasion.
Fat Man Bu is a big explosion of character today, the first Surubin was caught by him, and now this fish has not yet come out of the water, Hong Tao knows that Lu Dao is another giant thing! Its strength in the water is very strong, Hong Tao and Fat Zibu can't pull it, and sometimes they have to put a little fishing line as a last resort.
Fortunately, after more than 10 minutes of slipping, the line never got entangled in the underwater debris, which also shows a problem, this fish is not very willing to dive, but uses a brute force to sprint back and forth in the middle of the water, trying to get rid of the painful and hard thing in the mouth.
It's a pity that it has no strength, but it can't fight the two bad guys who can use tools, Fat Bu and Hong Tao, and as time goes by, its strength slowly fades with the river, and finally it is pulled to the surface.
"Katyusha! Katyusha! What a big one! Watch out for its teeth and don't break the line! The big fish flickered on the surface of the water, but Anaya saw it clearly and cried out.
"Katyusha! Why did the Brazilian fish get a Russian name? Hong Tao didn't have Anaya's eyes, he only saw the second half of the fish, silvery-white, and the body of the fish was very long, like a long-fattened hairtail.
"Lao Hong, be careful, I'm bored, I'll change hands with the sturgeon!
The fat man's face was covered with sweat, his eyes were fascinated, and his left arm was already slightly muscle spasm due to the long-term hard grip on the fishing rod, and he couldn't stop trembling. At this time, he couldn't care about it, and while reminding Hong Tao, who was holding the fishing line, he exchanged places with the sturgeon.
Perhaps stimulated by the sunlight on the surface of the water or the sound of human voices, the Katyusha in the water went crazy again, pulling the fishing line for a while and sprinting left and right for a while, and the force seemed to be greater than just now. Fortunately, at this time, the fishing rod had been changed to the sturgeon's hand, and this new force sat on the boat gang with his buttocks, kicked the boat gang on the other side with both feet, put the fishing rod on his belt buckle, and almost lay down backwards, cooperating with Hong Tao to hold the fish and prevent it from swimming far away.
Hong Tao was also at the end of the crossbow at this time, and his anti-scratch gloves had been cut by the fishing line twice, but the palms of his hands were not injured, but the two arms had no strength, so he could only take the opportunity to pull the fishing line back a little when the fish was loose.
Two people and one fish are frozen on the surface of the Negro River under the scorching sun, and no one can pull anyone!
Of course, the ultimate victor will definitely be humans, because they will use tools, and no matter how strong and resilient that fish is, it will still be flesh and blood after all, and sooner or later it will still be tired. Just when Anaya replaced Hong Tao to rest, the fish in the water finally ran out of strength, and they no longer had the strength to drag more than a dozen kilograms of pulling force to flee around.
"Be careful not to get bitten by its teeth!" When the big fish was pulled to the side of the boat, Hong Tao took the fish tongs and stretched out to the mouth of the big fish, in fact, there was no need to be reminded by Annaya, Hong Tao himself knew that he should be careful, because the big mouth of this fish has 4 finger-long canine teeth, if it bites his hand, it must be two translucent blood holes.
“NB! Lao Hong, hold that position for a few seconds, I'll give you a close-up! "The fat man who was sitting on the bow of the boat resting estimated that his arms had also changed, carrying a camera in one hand and a camera in the other, and he was almost too busy!
"Isn't this a silver dragon?" The sturgeon looked at the meter-long creature in the cabin and asked Anaya in confusion.
(CACHORRA) Katyura! Katyura! This time Hong Tao understood, it was not Katyusha, but Katyula.
"It's not a silver dragon, it's definitely not, I've raised that thing, and it doesn't have such big teeth." Hong Tao squatted on the side of the fish, propped up the mouth of the fish with tongs, and then answered the sturgeon in the affirmative. (To be continued......)
