"Huh? There's a small one on its back."

Ye Yaodong put it on the ground, looking at its mouth still one by one, how do you look familiar?

"Damn, this is a toad fish!"

He looked at it carefully, and instantly thought of what it was, no wonder he felt that the pole on its head was so familiar, so similar to the face of a toad fish, and this horse was a toad fish.

The common toad fish is brown, and this one is suddenly black, no wonder they didn't recognize it for a while.

"Toad fish? Aren't all toad fish brown?"

"There are also black ones, which are rarer and have different varieties. It's disgusting, that big mouth is still moving, it's not dead yet, I'll give it a stick and let it die first."

Generally, they will kill the big fish first, so as not to explode and hurt people before some fish are dead.

The fish had not been recognized before, and they were curious and did not move for a moment.

After it was killed, Father Ye wanted to take off the small one on its back, but found that it was glued to it and could not be taken off, and the small one was only three or four centimeters in size.

Ye Yaodong explained, "This little bit of size is male, and the big one at the bottom is female."

When the male toad fish meets the female, it will be parasitic and attached to each other until death for life, commonly known as eating soft rice!

Toad fish is their local name, its official name is anglerfish, anglerfish, is an offshore demersal carnivorous fish, generally most in winter and spring.

Their bodies are short cone-shaped, but their heads are broad and flattened, like a toad, with large mouths full of jagged teeth, eyes on the back of their heads, and no scales on their bodies.

However, they have low, round protrusions on their frontal crests, and it is these protrusions that make them appear "unorthodox" and look very ugly.

The longline fishing he played last time did not put a float, but sank to the bottom to catch low-level fish, so he was able to catch this black toad fish.

This fish is characterized by a fleshy protrusion above the head, like a small lantern, which is formed by the gradual upward extension of the first dorsal fin of the anglerfish. The reason why small lanterns glow is because of the glandular cells inside the lanterns.

There are many fish in the sea that are phototaxis, so it often uses its small lanterns to hunt.

It has a lot of sticky mucus on its body, which makes people feel disgusting to the touch, but it is a kind of gelatin, and the fibers of the meat bubbles in it have very high elasticity, and the skin is rich in gelatin, which is beautiful and nourishing, and increases skin elasticity.

But because it looks ugly and disgusting to the touch, the price is very cheap.

"Ugly fish are a lot of monsters, waste time, continue to reel in the line."

This one is so big, it won't exceed five cents a pound at most, and the small one may only be two or three cents a pound.

Ye Yaodong continued to reel in the line after muttering, but it turned out to be an empty hook, and the bait on it was long gone, it must have been too long to come and collect it, and it was run away.

He didn't have much hope in the first place, and it would be nice to get the threads back.

I continued to close the line, but found that there was another toad fish, this one was normal, it was brown.

It may be because of the bottom of the fishing, in addition to the empty hook for most of the time, the remaining hooks, toad fish are loaded one after another, and the freshness is quite good.

It's cheap, but it's better than nothing.

As the line became shorter and shorter, both father and son saw a big white fish, shaking the water and being pulled and floated.

Father Ye was also surprised, "Da tarpon!"

This fish can be caught not only in the sea, but also in some rivers, and the tarpon has a migratory habit, and it is distributed in the waters near the shore of the ocean and at the junction of the sea and the sea

Ye Yaodong grinned, there was finally a big fish, "Dad, help me catch the net with your hands, this one is dozens of pounds bigger, it's not easy to pull."

It may be because it has been hooked for too long, and the activity of the tarpon is not so good, and it feels a little bit like having more air out and less air in.

in order to

He had heard that when a silver carp was hooked, it could easily jump 2-3 meters out of the water.

Just as he was shortening the distance of the line and allowing the fish to come closer to the side of the boat for his father to catch, he saw a large group of tarpon jumping on the surface of the sea not far away, one after another.

"Daddy, look there."

Father Ye was holding a hand fishing net and was about to lean over to catch fish, but when he heard his call, he looked in the direction of his finger suspiciously, and was also surprised, "It's all tarpon?"

I saw that they actually jumped out of their tricks, and they kept changing directions when they were flying.

The body of the tarpon is slender and flattened, like a heavy saber, shining with silver light, and there is a cold air all around it.

This slender fish is very good at jumping and can change direction from time to time during jumps with the help of an extended fin on the trailing edge of its dorsal fin.

"Scoop this up first, I'll put the buoy again, just when this fish is put away, just to the interface of a basket of branch lines, untie the line and take it back, re-tie the buoy and throw it down to make a mark, let's drive the boat over there to see."

This tarpon is also very cheap, and although it looks delicious, it is actually soft and spiny with a poor meat taste, and is usually marinated as salted fish.

However, although it is cheap, it is there, and one can be worth a few dollars, and if you can catch a few more, you can also earn some oil money back, and today's harvest is not very good.

But something backfired, and the father and son worked together to drag the big silver carp ashore, and when they got the fishing line over, they found that the tarpon had stopped jumping and had dived into the water.

Ye Yaodong didn't give up, and increased his horsepower to drive the boat towards the sea where they had just jumped.

Looking at the smaller and smaller figures under the sea, Father Ye quickly threw the net to the maximum, and when he just drove the boat over, he had already sorted out the fishing nets, and as soon as he came over and found them diving to the bottom, he threw them quickly.

After staying for a while, the two of them pulled up together, and the biceps on their arms bulged high.

"Damn, it's so heavy."

Each one is dozens of pounds larger, and it is not easy to pull a few at random.

He felt that he needed a net lifter, and he couldn't stand the arm strength of dragging such a heavy load at two ends for three days. Originally, I thought that it was going to be winter, and the chances of going to sea were reduced, so it would not be too late to wait for the next spring, but now it seems that it is better to prepare in advance and put it there.

In case a big cargo or a big fish comes from time to time, the arm can't stand it.

The father and son gritted their back molars, and moved the net up little by little, there were only four fish in this net, but each one was more than one meter, about one meter 3 to 1.5 meters, and the total was two or three hundred catties.

"I'll throw another net and see if there's anything left."

"Probably gone, they're probably all swimming to the bottom of the ocean."

Father Ye thought it was better to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to be gone, and this net only caught 4 soft silk and 9 prawns.

"Yes, it's okay, it's not in vain, you can take it back and eat it these few nights." Ye Yaodong happily picked up all these on the deck into the bucket and put them alone.

This soft silk and large prawn are good goods for him, and they all like it for their family of four.

Father Ye glanced at him with disgust, and he thought about eating!

Ye Yaodong also saw his father's eyes, and he didn't care, how did he understand the happiness of simply eating and drinking.

After trying the net and having nothing to catch, they continued to return to retract the hook.

As a result, the two sea breams stinked, and after leaving them for too long, the hook swallowed relatively deeply, and they died early.

Most of the next lines were empty hooks, and many of the fish were freed.

After receiving it, a few flounders also came up, which were flounder and treasure fish.

Because of the left flounder and the right flounder.

Flounder flatfish have a strange shape because they have two eyes on one side of the head and no eyes on the other side, and they are easy to attract attention.

Lay the fish flat with the belly facing you. The head to the left is the flounder (Turbot), and the head to the right is the flounder, also called *** fish.

Ye Yaodong collected two of them one after another and threw them directly into the basket.

1,000 hooks only took him for more than an hour, and it was also because there were many empty hooks, so he saved a little effort today, and he didn't need to fight with the big fish, and the speed was faster.

After dismantling all the ropes, he checked the goods, in addition to the 4 tarpon caught by hand-throwing nets, 3 longline fishing, two baskets of toad fish, a few small devils, a few flounder, all of which were bottom fish, and a few soft silks, which were barely enough.

"Dad, let's eat first, it's almost time to drag two nets after eating."

"What time is it?"

In the past, when there were no watches, they didn't look at the time, anyway, they ate when they were hungry, and they would return when the sun was tilting in the west.

Now there is a watch to see the time, which is still a lot more convenient.

"It's eleven o'clock."

"Hmm."

The two went to the cabin to block the wind, each took out the already cold lunch box, and ate it in a big gulp, there are no conditions, they are not particular, just fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, although it is cold, the food is really delicious, and the portion is sufficient.

Ye Yaodong began to think about it again while eating, and when he went back, he might be able to buy a coal stove, and then put the lunch box on it to heat it up, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to eat cold food in his stomach in winter.

You can also bring a small pot, bring a little water boat, get a little freshly caught shrimp and crab and throw it into it to cook and add food, if you bring a small pot of rice wine, heat it up, drink two cups to warm your body, think about it and feel very beautiful.

Suddenly, the cold food in his hand was not fragrant, but he still had to eat it, and he accelerated his eating.

Seeing this, Father Ye also sped up.

After eating, the two rested in the cabin for a while before going out again to continue releasing the net.

When the weather is cold, I don't know when the wind will start on the sea, so I will quickly release the net at this time and strive to drag two more nets.
