Chapter 283: A School of Oversized Fish

With so many yellowfin tuna, I really want to go down in a net!

Chu Mingcheng sighed in his heart, and continued to keep up with the drone in his hand.

This time, after about a kilometer of following, he found that the sea surface was blackened, and the range of the sea was no smaller than that of tens of thousands of dolphins and tuna, which indicated that there was a super large school of fish under the water.

The dolphins are coming, and the schools of fish are not attracting large cetaceans, so it's calm for now.

Chu Mingcheng took this opportunity to let the drone descend to the surface of the sea to observe what kind of fish were below.

Through the many jumping fish, he recognized these as blue-banded small males.

This fish is the size of an adult's finger, but it is so abundant that it fills the stomachs of many sea creatures.

Its short growth cycle and fast reproduction speed, coupled with Chu Mingcheng's external increase, completely ensured that other predatory fish would have sufficient food sources.

After determining the destination of the dolphins and tuna, he immediately operated the drone back.

After the drone flew back, Chu Mingcheng turned off the drone, then took it into the kitchen and put it aside, and made another call to inform Chen Yang.

"Ayang, I found a large school of yellowfin tuna feeding about three kilometers southeast of the boat, you hurry to the wheelhouse, and you will catch up with my boat."

Chen Yang was stunned when he heard this: ", how did you find out so far away?" You don't have any diving plug-ins, you can find fish in the water, right? ”

"I have a drone, are you stupid?"

"Uh, I'll be right away!"

Hanging up the phone, Chu Mingcheng shook his head and smiled: "If you can guess my plug-in, then it's a good match!" ”

Then he quickly took some Western-style bread and prepared a large glass of milk to the cab.

Starting the Poseidon, the engine warmed up for a while and immediately drove in the direction of the fish.

When the boat is sailing, I eat bread and drink a large glass of milk for lunch.

The White Dragon followed behind, and there were two people over there who were indeed more convenient than him in some ways.

Three kilometers at the speed of the ship did not take much time to arrive.

Zhang Wei and Chen Yang watched the picture of dolphins and tuna predating in the cab, dumbfounded.

"Do you want to hunt or fish? I suggest you fish today to familiarize yourself with the feeling of tuna fishing, after all, fishing tournaments do not allow electric winch. ”

"When the time comes, if the fish comes off the hook because of the problem of fishing skills, it will hurt you to death."

"By the way, you can catch some of these little fish in the water as bait, there should be no bait like it at the moment."

Chu Mingcheng suggested with a walkie-talkie in the cab.

It's not time for them to think about how much money they make, but they have to get used to tuna fishing first, and it would be best if they could get a spot in the fishing tournament.

But Chu Mingcheng also thought about it, I believe that there will be many powerful people participating in the fishing competition, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to break through.

At least the experience of the old angler who often goes to sea to find fish is not comparable to them, and even he himself cannot compare with this.

Chen Yang said that he understood, and then immediately went to prepare with Zhang Wei.

Chu Mingcheng was not idle, he went to change into a diving suit, wearing a video camera on his head, and a wooden speargun in his hand.

Obviously, today is a rare opportunity for him, he hasn't encountered so many tuna in a long time, and he can have a good time today.

Compared to other tuna, yellowfin tuna can multiply very quickly.

Tuna spawn in large quantities at a time, and this is the same for any of them.

However, the growth rate of yellowfin tuna is much faster than others, it can grow to 200 catties in three years, which is also the main reason for fishing tuna, at most yellowfin, and other tuna is really incomparable in quantity.

With his external support, it is estimated that yellowfin tuna in domestic waters will be difficult to catch and become extinct.

Fully equipped, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water, not at all worried about encountering sharks or anything.

In the fishing grounds of the East China Sea, the probability of encountering large sharks is very low, and it is generally impossible to encounter them.

There are so many fishing boats that there are no longer large sharks.

Secondly, even if there are fierce sharks such as adult great white sharks or tiger sharks and blue sharks, there are tens of thousands of dolphins here today, and what sharks dare to come!

As soon as he entered the water, Chu Mingcheng was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

The surface of the water can only see a piece of black water, and the surprise point is nothing more than all kinds of predators that blow up the water, but in the water is a luxurious feast of predation.

Countless dolphins don't fight on their own.

Each predation will be like the ancient charging cavalry, led by the leader to rush into the fish again and again like sharp arrows.

And this school of yellowfin tuna also has its own way of fighting, they do not impact the fish, but just roam around the periphery.

When a school of fish is attacked by dolphins, it will naturally disperse, and this is their chance.

Not only that, but there is also a small school of rays that come to join in the fun.

This is less than a comparison between dolphins and tuna, but there are actually hundreds of them, the big ones can be as big as a double bed, and the small ones are as small as a basin.

Led by the leader, they whizz past like airplanes, seemingly not fast, but they can empty a school of fish each time.

But don't look at the number of hunters, Chu Mingcheng in the water can't see the edge of the blue-banded small male fish at all, densely packed with hundreds of millions.

He himself is currently in a school of yellowfin tuna, surrounded by tuna, all moving mane.

After Chu Mingcheng took a circle of the underwater scene, he came out of the water to breathe and loaded the spear gun to prepare for hunting.

Recently, he hasn't been filming much fishing, most of the time he forgets it, if it weren't for Jiang Luoluo's special reminder the day before yesterday, he estimated that he would have forgotten it today.

But also because of the shooting, Chu Mingcheng's fishing and hunting actions are relatively standardized.

Especially time, you can't stay underwater for too long.

Holding a spear gun and scanning back and forth, Chu Mingcheng soon selected a yellowfin tuna with a fat belly.

Fishing and fattening, fishing is not the same as fishing and hunting.

This is when the tuna is foraging and swimming very fast.

These seventy or eighty pounds of tuna are just over a meter long, and they swim quite flexibly.

Fortunately, they were limited to the range of fish, so Chu Mingcheng didn't need to chase them.

As soon as he got close to the tuna, he started aiming.

The tuna will take a bite from time to time at the edge of the fish, and it will turn back with each bite, although it is fast but there is a trace.

When the chubby yellowfin tuna rushed towards the school of fish again, Chu Mingcheng shot at the school of fish in front of it.

The arrow broke through the sea and was launched instantly, and then you could see that the chubby yellowfin tuna was sent to the door by itself, or with its head.

This time, the prediction was accurate, and the tuna was shot in the head, and immediately struggled violently, and blood stained the waters.

The blue-banded small male fish and tuna next to him were all frightened, and the originally dense schools of fish suddenly scattered in all directions, which made it convenient for Chu Mingcheng to drag this yellowfin tuna.

He grabbed the line with both hands and swam towards the surface with a swing under his feet.

As soon as he showed his head, he heard Zhang Wei's shout on the White Dragon next to him: "Ah Cheng, did you hit the fish?" ”

He was holding a net to catch fish in the water, not tuna, of course, but a young male with green band.

The fish are so dense that you can catch a lot of fish every time you catch a net, and there will be no shortage of bait after catching more.

On the other side, Chen Yang is tying the line, and after getting it, he can fish for tuna.

"That must be hit, what efficiency do I have!" Chu Mingcheng replied, and his hands kept moving.

This yellowfin tuna is fat, but it is only a hundred catties at most, and it is shot in the head and struggles for a while before it moves, and the speed of death is very fast.

So he can easily pull the tuna to the surface and swim to the other side of the boat.

"Lao Tie, let's have a tuna fish feast tonight!" Zhang Wei would have seen the tuna he pulled up, and his stocky little body was suddenly aroused.

"Okay, then you'll have to work hard, try to catch as much as you can."

"Damn, you're a big family embarrassed to let me fish as a part-time worker?"

"You didn't work for me. Will you be at the fish feast? Do you know how fish kill? ”

"Why don't you ask me?"

After shouting a few words, Chu Mingcheng had already boarded the boat.

He stood at the top of the stairs, grabbed the tuna by the tail and dragged it straight up.

The tuna has thick skin and is not afraid of friction, but is afraid of bumps.

"There is a lack of someone to kill fish!" Chu Mingcheng looked at the fish a little helplessly, there were so many tuna in the water, and he didn't know when they would leave, so it was very important to hurry up.

If the tuna is not bled immediately, the blood will soon affect the quality of the fish.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng had to pick up the fish-killing knife, cut off the fish's arteries, and then cut off the fish's tail with two knives, put the water pipe into the fish's mouth, block the artery, and flush the blood out of the tail.

However, after the water pipe was put in, he didn't care, quickly disemboweled, took out the internal organs, put down the fishing knife, and jumped into the water with the internal organs to continue fishing and hunting.

Chu Mingcheng, who entered the water, directly threw away the fish entrails, and then saw a group of tuna come forward to bite the entrails, spit it out, and fight back and forth.

The tuna on the boat was swept away by the pipe, and the bloodletting may not be as fast as holding the hose with his hands, but he must hurry now.

The speargun was loaded, and soon he picked another fat fish.

There are at least 10,000 tuna, and there are so many fish to choose from.

I first looked at the trajectory of the fish twice, and after understanding it, I predicted it again and successfully hit this tuna.

It's just that this time the position of the hit was on the back of the fish, and although it was close to the head of the fish, it was not a fatal injury.

The tuna resisted more powerfully, and the strength of swimming could take Chu Mingcheng away.

Even if it weighs only seventy or eighty pounds, it is still not to be underestimated.

Chu Mingcheng didn't let it pull the idea of consuming its physical strength, and the next moment he grabbed the fishing line with both hands to exert his strength, and at the same time swam to the surface of the water.

When he showed his head, Zhang Wei, who had already started fishing, shouted again: "You hit the fish again, what about the stock?" ”

Chu Mingcheng extended a friendly gesture to him, but did not answer, shouting and talking was too tiring.

He grabbed the line and dragged the tuna back little by little.

The tuna has a lot of strength, but the fishing line is pulled enough, and the barb blades of the fish arrow are stuck, so he is not afraid of the fish running away at all, it is nothing more than that the wound will expand a little.

But for the sake of efficiency, he had to sacrifice this.

After about five or six minutes, the tuna was pulled back, and Chu Mingcheng hugged the tuna, picked up a diving knife and stabbed it twice in the head.

The tuna's mouth was originally open, but now it is even bigger.

After getting this tuna, Chu Mingcheng immediately swam back with it, and when he came to the boat, the tuna in front of him was still slowly retaining blood, and most of the water in the water pipe was wasted.

Fortunately, the water on the boat did not cost money, and he stepped forward to block the artery with a hose again.

The blood in the tuna immediately flowed out in large quantities again, but it was apparently similar to the blood he had been fishing and hunting, and it was washed away after a short while.

So he picked up the fish first and put it in the refrigerated cabin.

The moment he walked into the refrigerated cabin, Chu Mingcheng suddenly shuddered, it was so cold!

The main body is seawater, and the temperature loss after coming to the refrigerator is so bad that even he can't bear it.

After putting the tuna away, he quickly ran out and began to process the second fish.

It was also dealt with in the same way as the previous one, and during the bloodletting phase he still entered the water with the entrails and speargun, hunting the third one.

At present, the time has only passed about 20 minutes, and if the speed is fast in an hour, you can hunt six, which is faster than fishing, I don't know how much.

It is too much for normal people to be restricted in the sea, and if it is like on land, there is no doubt that the creatures will harm faster.

Perhaps it was the smell of blood that attracted the attention of other creatures, and after Chu Mingcheng entered the water again, he was stunned to find a few dolphins coming over.

Probably having enough to eat and have nothing to do, they all surrounded Chu Mingcheng after seeing it, which caused all the tuna around the bottom of the boat to stay away, making him need to swim farther away to hunt.

He was a little helpless, because of the existence of the affinity of the plug-in, the dolphins all came to him.

Chu Mingcheng reached out and touched the dolphin, and then swung his legs to hunt the next tuna, but he didn't have time to play with the dolphin here.

The dolphins didn't know what he was going to do and followed curiously, which caused the tuna to scatter again.

Although they are not afraid of dolphins, they also don't seem to like to get up close and personal with them.

This also caused Chu Mingcheng to be unable to get close to the tuna, which brought some trouble to the hunt.

He had no choice but to speed up his swim and hold a speargun before the dolphin could come, and immediately pressed the trigger when he got close to a tuna.

Tuna has a large body, and when swimming normally, it is basically shot within 10 meters.

The location of the hit this time was a little above the pectoral fin, so the tuna did not die so quickly.

However, seeing that the tuna was struggling, a dolphin following behind suddenly sped up and swam over and hit the tuna hard with its long beak.

The tuna, which had been struggling, immediately flipped its belly, and it was obvious that this time it hurt even more.

Chu Mingcheng didn't have time to stop it, and there was only a groove left in his heart.

Watching the dolphin push the tuna in front of him, he was visibly speechless.

'Thank you! ’

The tuna that was hit was not problematic on the surface, but in fact all the muscles in the area where it was hit were shattered.

In other words, the fish has no way to sell it, so it can only be eaten by itself.

Zhang Wei just said that there will be a fish banquet in the evening, which will really have a suitable ingredient.

Chu Mingcheng reluctantly took the fish back and lifted the fish to the boat.

Looking back at the dolphin that came after him, it was helping to solve the tuna just now, and it opened its mouth and made a unique dolphin sound, and it seemed to be laughing.

Chu Mingcheng looked at Zhang Wei and saw that he didn't pay attention to this side, so he squatted down and whispered to the dolphin: "Go back to your own group, I don't need your help here, but thank you for it." ”

The dolphin was just playing around with him, but he really didn't have time.

The dolphin understood him, so he accepted his thanks, nodded his head twice on the surface, and went back with his people.

The dolphins left this side, and the tuna appeared again in the originally empty waters.

Dealing with the tuna, which could only be eaten at night, he wasted no time and went into the water again.

When Chu Mingcheng's fourth fish was pulled to the boat, Zhang Wei was still trying to reel in the line.

As for Chen Yang, he fished on the other side of the boat to avoid tangent lines.

However, with the density of tuna, it should also be fished.

Such a rich harvest made Chu Mingcheng, who was busy, feel that time passed very quickly.

Today was already cloudy, and if he hadn't taken the time to look at his watch, he wouldn't have known that the time had come to more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

So far, he's hunted 21 yellowfin tuna, and the reefer is covered with a patch.

If the fish stay for two more hours, he will definitely fill the cold compartment.

Now there is still a third of the space where the fish can be placed, and if there are many fish encountered next, these seventy or eighty pounds of tuna can be stacked directly.

Twenty-one yellowfin tuna, the total weight is more than 1,600 catties.

It seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is worth about 60,000, judging from the harvest of Chu Mingcheng's last trip to the sea, this is only a fraction, so he has no excitement at all.

Bringing up the tuna that had been hit by dolphins, he went to the warehouse and took out the rubber boat, cheered up, and then took the fish to the White Dragon.

Although fifty or sixty thousand fish is average for Chu Mingcheng, today's harvest is still far more than that of Zhang Wei and Chen Yang, so the fish banquet in the evening is naturally invited by him.

"How's your harvest?" Chu Mingcheng moved the fish and rubber boat to the boat, and then asked.

"Okay, I caught four." Chen Yang said on the other side, after pouring himself half a bottle of mineral water.

Four tuna, with a drum wheel, is naturally not so easy to catch.

However, he didn't see Chu Mingcheng's record, so he was quite satisfied with his gains.

Zhang Wei was also tired: "I caught five, and the two of us together don't have half of yours, right?" ”

"Not half? Ah Cheng, how many hits did you get? Chen Yang asked in amazement.

"It's okay, twenty-one, it's just a drop in the bucket compared to the tuna fish at the bottom of the water." Chu Mingcheng waved his hand and said casually.

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth twitched, speechless.

And he doesn't have to hunt for himself, so much tuna can be hunted.

Fishing and hunting are fast, but the physical requirements are much higher than fishing, and it is difficult to get a lot of tuna.

Chu Mingcheng didn't notice his expression either, he was walking towards the cabin.

"You guys hurry up and pack up and move the table out, it's not hot today, we're going to eat out."

Zhang Wei and Chen Yang agreed to help do what they could.

Chu Mingcheng came to the kitchen and cooked some rice, so as not to be hungry at night if he simply ate fish.

Then open the fridge and get ready to see what's inside.

When he saw a few mangoes bigger than the palm of his hand, he took out two of them with satisfaction.

Then I opened the freezer area, only to find several boxes of top-quality snowflake beef.

The beef is thinly sliced and apparently used for hot pot brushing.

But the way to eat is not limited to brushing meat, so he decisively took out three boxes.

I also took some of the other scattered things, and then went to the deck with the ingredients I had found.

Chen Yang had already moved the table out, and there was an induction cooker and a carbon stove on it.

The plug of the induction cooker is plugged into the socket and connected to the wall switch used to charge the electric winch under the ship's side.

"I'm good at finding it, you've found all the good things in our refrigerator." Zhang Wei saw the ingredients he put on the table and smiled, "Do you need these things for the fish banquet?" ”

"Of course, just eat tuna sashimi, what's so delicious." Chu Mingcheng picked up the fish-killing knife and began to unravel the yellowfin tuna he had brought.

The head of the fish is cut off, the fins are removed, and the fish is divided into three parts directly along the bones.

He was not interested in touching these fish bones and fish heads, so let Chen Yang and them deal with them themselves in the future.

As for the fish, Chu Mingcheng flipped over the position where it was hit by the dolphin, and found that the fish meat in this position was really broken, so this piece was directly cut off.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei was curious: "What's going on with this piece, it feels like the fish is all broken?" ”

"When I was fishing and hunting, a dolphin came to help and was pinched." Chu Mingcheng explained, and then put the rest of the fish to be eaten on the table.

Zhang Wei looked a little surprised when he heard the dolphins helping, but there were tens of thousands of dolphins today, and it was normal for them to be naughty occasionally, so he didn't ask more.

Chu Mingcheng will cut a large piece of fish meat on the big belly, middle abdomen and back.

The rest was handed over to Chen Yang and asked him to wrap it up and keep it by himself.

"You don't want to take some back with you?" Chen Yang asked.

"I don't need to, just taste the sashimi, I don't eat it as often as you do." Chu Mingcheng shook his head and refused, then thought of something, and said, "How much beef did you buy, or will you give me some later?" ”

"I bought three boxes, most of them are in the refrigerator cabin, and you will carry one box by yourself later." Chen Yang said very generously.

"It's good to buy so much." Chu Mingcheng nodded with satisfaction, he still preferred to brush beef to sashimi.

Especially since these are top-quality snowflake beef, which he didn't prepare on his own boat.

However, this time it also reminded him that he must prepare more next time he goes to sea.

The refrigerator can't fit, and there is such a big refrigerator, I'm not afraid of buying too much.

The rest of the dinner is as simple as slicing the tuna meat on a plate, then frying the beef slices in a pan, wrapping the tuna meat in a pan, and dipping it in a dipping sauce to take a bite, which is much more satisfying than just eating sashimi.

By the time dinner was over, it was already completely dark, and Chu Mingcheng returned to his boat with a box of beef.

Find a suitable body of water to attract tuna with a fish trap light and prepare for night fishing.
