Chapter Ninety-Four: The Lobster
As for the reason for the impress, it is because this fish is called a metamorphosis fish, and it is able to change its sex.
When any female golden-frontal humphead grows to a critical size, drastic changes occur in the body.
Under the action of a special enzyme in the body, its female hormone will stop secreting, and the male hormone will come out and begin to circulate continuously in the body.
It can then turn into a male in just a few months, and grow in size, with extremely tasty sarcomas on the top of its head and chin.
That is to say, every golden protruding forehead humphead fish, after its mother is tired of giving birth, will suddenly lose her temper and forcibly change her gender, indicating that she will let other fish have children in the future!
It can be both a mother and a father!
If the elephant country had developed this kind of gender transformation technology, then the "little sisters" of their country would not have suffered so much!
But what surprised Chu Mingcheng even more was that this kind of fish seemed to be very expensive in his own hometown.
He had seen in Lu Zheqiang's information that this kind of fish only costs more than a hundred here, or in Fu Province, and the most expensive is about two hundred pounds.
But in many parts of Zhejiang province, prices have almost doubled.
With the addition of these two fish, the weight on Chu Mingcheng's body has reached more than sixty catties.
Fortunately, the sea water is buoyant and can help him share some of the weight.
He began to swim back, and asked the boatman to call the boat over and take him back to the Sky first.
When the boatman saw the catch in his hand, he subconsciously asked, "What time is it?" ”
Chu Mingcheng was puzzled, but still looked at his diving watch: "It's just two o'clock in the afternoon, what's wrong?" ”
"In other words, you caught so many superb fish in an hour?"
"yes, what's the problem?"
"Awesome, brother, I've never seen anyone as good at fishing and hunting as you."
Chu Mingcheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, as far as he showed so far, he was much more powerful than him.
However, the powerful fishing and hunting masters have teams, and they all go to sea together in their own groups.
It is rare to run alone on such a large fishing boat and choose to fish and hunt, and it is normal for this boatman to have never seen it.
He smiled and didn't answer the question, but went back to shore together and asked the boatman to call the boat over the walkie-talkie that was placed here.
After about ten minutes of waiting, a touristless dinghy came in with another boatman and sent them back to the Sky.
The location where the Sky is parked is not a good fishing spot, so except for some who go to trolling, the rest of the people basically lie in their rooms to conserve their strength and wait for the next fishing spot to continue the fight.
Chu Mingcheng asked the boatman to save all the first fish, and then asked him to bring a fish to protect it.
He was afraid that his thoughts would not be clear, even if it affected the time of trolling.
Trolling doesn't work today, there will be a chance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but the opportunity to plate lobsters is just that.
He went back to his room, cut out a section of No. 8 carbon fiber thread of about 30 meters, and then took out some No. 5 sleeve hooks and tied them, a total of three hooks.
By the way, a plumb sinker was added to prevent the hook bait from being carried away by the current after entering the water.
After making a fishing line, he made another spare.
The bait was cut into small pieces with mackerel, and some Antarctic shrimp bait was brought along with it.
The nest of lobsters is all gathered together, and if you go in and catch them directly, it is estimated that you will catch two or three, and the rest will definitely escape.
But the fishing is different, it is not easy to startle the snake, at least wait until most of the catch is not hooked and then try to catch it directly.
When everything was ready, he and the boatman returned to their original place and entered the water.
Originally, it was actually the best to get a boat to stop above the lobster nest for fishing, but it was a pity that renting a boat alone for his personal service would cost him an additional fee, and the price would be expensive, so Chu Mingcheng would forget it.
He would rather be in trouble than be sucked by the shipowner.
When he came to the approximate water level, Chu Mingcheng quickly found the "Overlord Flower", one of which was a spare fishing line for the boatman to hold, and the other one he hung on the mackerel meat and dived into the water to find the right position.
He placed the bait next to the hole, pulled the line at the other end in his hand, and swam to the surface of the water as he released the line.
Until the whole person floats face down on the surface of the water and breathes through a snorkel.
Unlike Boston lobsters, the dense-haired lobster does not have tongs, and it will bite directly with its mouth open when it eats bait, so it is accurate to catch one fish.
Loboules with pincers will first use pincers to clamp the prey, and there will be a certain chance of loosening when fished, and the hit rate is lower than that of lobsters without claws.
After two or three minutes, a dense lobster was attracted by the bait, and the tentacles on the top of its head kept swinging up and down, and it slowly crawled out of its hiding place.
But it's not just this one that was attracted, after taking the lead, another one followed.
Chu Mingcheng pulled the line in his hand and prepared, and when the first dense-haired lobster bit the hook bait and fell back, he immediately pulled the line back.
The densely haired lobster was powerless to resist, and was pulled to the surface by him little by little in the water.
Chu Mingcheng grabbed the back of the lobster and lifted it up to take a look, the very big dense-haired lobster, it was estimated that it weighed two catties, and the green lobster caught before was incomparable to this one.
Removing the cuff hook from the lobster's mouth, the fish had already been bitten, so he had to hand the lobster to the boatman and re-attach the fish.
The boatman was shocked to take the lobster from him and put it in the fish guard.
He had been guessing what Chu Mingcheng was doing with such a fishing line, and he had thought about what specific fish he was fishing, but he didn't expect it to be a lobster.
The market price of this dense lobster is worth 500 yuan, and a pound is about 250 yuan.
And Chu Mingcheng found that it was densely packed with tentacles before, not to mention more than a dozen.
After a successful experience, lobster fishing became very smooth.
Although some of the lobsters were frightened and couldn't get out, he still caught thirteen dense lobsters in an hour.
Eight of them are more than a pound and a half, and five are much smaller.
But Chu Mingcheng didn't have a scale for the specific weight, so he simply released them all.
But then, the efficiency of continuing to fish for lobsters was much slower, and he caught two in half an hour, and one was released too small, and it is estimated that the lobsters at the bottom should have been guarded, or have been caught by him.
Chu Mingcheng entered the water again, but this time he didn't put bait, but looked down into the gap.
found that there were still a lot of lobsters hiding inside, and it seemed that they already knew that there were traps outside and refused to come out.
In that case, he could only catch it with his bare hands.
Finding the target, Chu Mingcheng directly reached out and touched it, and the dense-haired lobsters sensed the danger and either hid or escaped from the gap and ran away.
But he still caught a lobster that didn't have time to run, and when he took it out, he found that it was very big, so he put it in the small net pocket he was carrying, and then shifted his position to catch the lobster next to him who had not escaped.
Eventually, he caught three more, and after two and a half minutes of diving, he decided to end the day's hunt and swim back to the surface.
In more than an hour and a half, a total of thirteen dense-haired lobsters were caught, each of which was more than a pound and a half, which was not much different from the size of the first one he caught.
But all the smaller ones were released, otherwise more than 20 lobsters could be caught today.
