Chapter 554: Hammock on the water

After the big fish was pulled onto the boat, before Hong Tao and the three of them discussed whether to release it, they were nailed to the deck by Anaya with a harpoon, Anaya said that this kind of fish has a strong vitality, and it can bite people long after leaving the water, for everyone's safety, it is safer to directly stab its brain, and the number of this fish is not small, so there is no need to protect it.

Regardless of its name, this fish is the longest fish Hong Tao has caught in freshwater, with a total length of 97 centimeters and a weight of 17 kilograms.

After this struggle, the four people on the boat were tired enough, even if they knew that they might be able to catch a big thing if they took the bait again, but no one threw the rod again. At this intensity, the physical strength of the three of them is not enough, and if a big fish is baited, they will definitely not be able to get it, so let's just find a shade to smoke and beer and prepare for lunch.

"Shh......h Be quiet...... Get your cameras ready and look over there, there are 2 little crocodiles! ”

Before the boat could row under the shade of the trees, Anaya made a quiet gesture and pointed to the left ahead. On the trunk of a large tree lying in the water less than 10 meters away from the boat, there were two caimans lying on their stomachs, although they were not very big, but their notoriety still scared Hong Tao and several people into a cold sweat.

The two crocodiles were still startled by the boat, they looked up at the boat, then assessed the current form, decided to give up the treasure land, and then jumped into the water with a puff and disappeared.

"I said let's not get too close to the shore, what if we let the crocodiles come up?" The fat man was a little hairy, and kept turning his thick neck to look around, for fear that another crocodile would come out of the water.

"It doesn't matter, it's not the breeding season for crocodiles, they will run away when they see people, and they won't actively attack humans." Anaya said as she took off her shirt. Then he took off his shorts and jumped straight out of the boat into the water and swam up.

"Come down! There will be no danger! As he swam, he waved at the three men on the boat.

"Swim and swim, who is afraid of whom!" Hong Tao was the first to can't help it, just now he tossed for so long, but he was still under the sun, and the sweat on his body stuck his clothes, which was very uncomfortable.

"Fatty, don't come down, you're not married. If you let the piranha bite your little JJ off, it will be troublesome. "Infected by the waves, the sturgeon can't help it, mainly because the body is slimy and uncomfortable, and the humidity here is so strong that it won't dry for a while.

"You like to say whatever you like, I won't go down if you kill me, sturgeon, you can think clearly, there are water snakes here to drill P eyes!" The fat man really doesn't eat this agitation method, he would rather be hot and uncomfortable than let a piranha or crocodile bite it.

The water here is muddy. There are a lot of fine particles floating in it, it is estimated that they are rotten leaves, rotten bark or something, and the underwater visibility is extremely poor, and you can only see about 2 meters in front of you. Hong Tao originally wanted to rely on his good water nature to go down to see what the primeval rainforest under the water was like. But as soon as he went down to a depth of 2 or 3 meters, the light was completely dimmed, and he didn't dare to dive any further, so it was better to settle down in unfamiliar waters.

Although it was launched. But Hong Tao was also a little vague in his heart, those piranas didn't want locals like Anaya, and they couldn't guarantee that they would taste Chinese food or something. After only a few minutes of swimming, Hong Tao and the sturgeon climbed back into the boat, lay down on the deck under the shade of the trees, and turned their heads from time to time to look at the body of Katyura lying next to him and the sharp teeth in its mouth, and immediately got goosebumps on his body, and the heat was gone!

Lunch is simple, the standard Brazilian barbecue is served with rice and boiled beans, and the taste goes without saying, and you can eat it anyway. After eating, when he was washing the dishes, Hong Tao once again saw what it means to have a lot of fish. The leftovers on the plate instantly attracted countless small fish, at first a few dozens, and in less than a minute the water next to the boat was boiling. The fish they had never seen before were huddled together, and they were swimming desperately for a few grains of rice and minced meat.

"I have seen these two kinds of fish, in our country they are kept in fish tanks, we call them traffic lights and angelfish." While Hong Tao continued to throw the leftovers into the water to attract more small fish, he secretly picked up the net of fish copying, and picked up dozens of small fish at once, and those remaining small fish just panicked for a few seconds, and immediately threw themselves into the ranks of scrambling for food, not taking Hong Tao's threat seriously at all.

"This fish is our specialty here, we call it the cardinal fish, and it can only reproduce in this acidic water, and there are fishermen upstream who specialize in catching it, and then send it to the middlemen in Manaus and export it by plane. I don't know this fish either, there are many kinds of fish that the government prohibits exporting, and in two days I will send petrol back to Bassedes, if you like, you can go with me to see it. ”

Anaya didn't know every fish, there were so many fish species in the Amazon basin that he now counted more than a dozen of these small fish, except for traffic lights, angelfish, and sardinia.

"Cheng, call us when you go!" Hong Tao used to raise tropical fish, so he is also interested in tropical fish, and now I heard that I can go and see how Brazilians catch tropical fish, which must not be missed.

After lunch, it's time to take a nap as it is customary in Brazil, because the midday sun is too hot and it's not a good time for fishing. After asking Hong Tao and the three of them for their opinions, Anaya took out three hammocks from the stern of the boat, and then used the boat as a ladder, climbed up the trunk of the tree on the water, tied the hammocks, and lay down in one of the hammocks and rested leisurely.

"There are just two beds left, you guys go up, I'll lie in the boat for a while, it's pretty flat here!" Before Hong Tao could ask who would go up and who wouldn't, Fat Zibu himself surrendered first, and it was really a little difficult for his figure to climb the tree trunk.

Lying in a hammock more than 2 meters high on the surface of the water, looking up is the canopy like a big umbrella, looking down is the dark brown calm water, and butterflies fly over from time to time to check what these three big eggs are, this scene is really a bit like a cartoon, both real and magical.

Hong Tao was not very used to it when he first went up, and he was always afraid that this thing would fall off without tying it up, but after getting familiar with it for a while, he was relieved, and sometimes he deliberately let the hammock shake up, and then with the rhythm of this swing, he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and if it wasn't for the fat man who stabbed Hong Tao and the sturgeon in the butts with a fishing rod, the two of them would still be sleeping in the hammock. After packing up his things, the boat headed inside again, found a place with shade, and continued fishing.

But compared to the morning, the luck in the afternoon is terrible, I don't know if Lu Dao caught up with the piranha to hold some assembly here, no matter where it was moved, the first thing to be caught was these nasty things, not often sandwiched between a few bagu fish and scavengers, and a serious big fish did not catch up.

Towards half past five, the group had to stop fishing, because it was dark early in the Amazon, and the sun set at 6 o'clock, and they had to return to the Grand River Hotel before it was too dark. In this vast aquatic forest, even a native fisherman like Anaya would not dare to sail unprepared in the dark of night, because as soon as it gets dark, all kinds of ferocious animals, including the caimans that dot the Amazon basin, are ready to move.

On the way back, Anaya showed Hong Tao what it means to race on the water, he first let Hong Tao and Fat Zibu sit on the bow of the boat, pulled the cable, and then twisted the motor of the speedboat to the head. The FRP runabout immediately burst out, and the front half of the entire hull was raised high, plowing a deep trench on the water, and jumping forward in the middle of the river like a galloping wind.

When the motorboat returned to the Grand River Hotel, Hong Tao and Fat Man Bu's clothes were all soaked, and even the sturgeon sitting in the back was drenched from head to toe by the river. But everyone didn't complain about Anaya, you just spent the money on fishing, and people also let you experience the taste of taking a speedboat, which is a great value to enjoy, wet and wet, anyway, you have to take a shower and change clothes when you go back, this place doesn't use a mobile phone or anything, as long as the camera and the camera's waterproof case do not leak, there is nothing! Enjoyable!

After dinner, Hong Tao and the three of them got together, asked Anaya to take out all his fishing rods, and then began to pick them one by one. Originally, they wanted to find a fishing rod to use, and then rely on excellent quality fishing lines and reels to deal with big fish, but after today's practice, this idea is obviously not realistic, in this kind of underwater situation responsible waters, it is not enough to have a good fishing line and reel, a strong enough fishing rod is also one of the necessary conditions for successful catching big fish.

Anaya didn't know much about the performance of fishing rods, they used their hands to handle the line, so when he first chose fishing rods, he just looked for those fishing rods that looked thicker and newer, and he didn't know what the tonality of the fishing rod was, whether it was strong or not, and how much weight the hammer carried was at all.

By the light of the gas lamp, Hong Tao and the three of them picked out more than 30 fishing rods that Anaya moved out of the warehouse, and finally each chose 2 as the main fishing rods, and selected 3 as backups.

It is not enough to have a fishing rod, but also to match the fishing line and fishing group, so that there is no need to temporarily assemble it on the speedboat.

Hong Tao chose a Canadian-made trolling rod, which is very short in length, only 2 meters, but very tough, and the wire loops are also pulley-type, without sections, and it is directly a whole fishing rod. (To be continued......)
