At more than nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Mingcheng and Chen Yang finally arrived at their destination.

They were located more than 190 nautical miles offshore, not far from the open sea.

The sea area in the country is vast, and they didn't encounter a single ship at all along the way, and they didn't even find a lighthouse when they came here.

When he was on the road, Chu Mingcheng actually encountered a wave of tuna fish, but unfortunately, after catching one, he found that it was a long-loined tuna.

This kind of tuna is not big, the basic body size is about 20 catties, and even albacore tuna is not comparable, and it is not in the list of competition fish.

There is a basis for the exclusion of this tuna from the fishing competition, the fish is too small, and it does not seem to have the passion and excitement of fighting for big things.

The fishing team of the contestants will be specially recorded by the tracking team, and then edited and published on the website in the form of a variety show.

If it weren't for the fact that the fishing is basically big and rough, the organizers would still be full of handsome men and beauties like Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo, handsome guys and beauties are always better looking at fishing than big bosses!

How much fishing can increase the number of broadcasts depends on passers-by...

After a short while, the Poseidon stopped at a water depth of about 180 meters, which is the continental shelf, and if you want to find a deeper water, you have to continue to walk, trouble.

Chu Mingcheng put the anchor into the water, and the iron chain with the thickness of his small arm rattled, and quickly sank towards the bottom of the sea.

"Let's try it here tonight!"

Obviously, today's Chu Mingcheng does not plan to follow his previous routine and sleep between twelve o'clock.

Whether he will go to bed early at night depends on whether he can meet tuna at night, and if he can't, he will naturally go to bed early.

"Well, I'll go get ready first." Jiang Luoluo didn't object, after all, he was participating in the competition, and it was normal to work hard.

And whether the family runs a fishing tackle manufacturing factory or not depends entirely on whether they can get a high ranking, relying on the traffic of this fishing competition to increase the fame of the two of them.

Although there were only two people, Chu Mingcheng's previous performance was too amazing, which made her full of confidence.

Jiang Luoluo first put all the fish trap lights into the water, and then returned to the wheelhouse, she needed help to keep an eye on the fish finder, and if there was a big fish coming, she had to notify at any time.

And Chu Mingcheng naturally went to prepare the assembly of the fishing rod and line first, and the bait had to be taken out to thaw.

This time he prepared 1,000 catties of sardines, which are not chopped into pieces like mackerel, but the cost is a little higher, requiring 10,000 yuan.

】

Compared to mackerel, sardines seem to have a better nesting effect.

Of course, if you can encounter small bonito, then fishing some as bait is the best.

Chu Mingcheng is preparing here, and the same is true for Chen Yang's side.

They also put fish traps to attract tuna, except that there were four men on the boat and it looked busier.

As for Zhao Jun's wife, she is in charge of the logistics of the entire ship. Of course, the main thing is to cook and clean the deck after each fishing.

You can't expect a bunch of men who are exhausted by tuna to do these chores again!

Time passed slowly, and Chu Mingcheng did not wait for the big fish after he was ready.

If he wants a big fish to be hooked faster, it's not enough to rely on a low-grade tuna panel, he needs to catch some live bait.

Tuna like to eat live bait such as sardines, mackerel, bonito, small tuna and mackerel.

But it is not easy for these baits to be bought alive on the shore, mainly because they are not sold early.

Even if you can buy it, the price will be high, and the cost performance is quite low for normal tuna fishing.

Therefore, there is no market for live tuna bait, and naturally no one gets it, which makes it difficult to buy, which is a cycle.

At this time, the big fish did not come, but Chu Mingcheng had already learned from Jiang Luoluo that there was a group of fish moving under the water.

Considering that the live bait needed was not large, he deliberately cut the sardines into small pieces and fished the bottom with a channeling hook.

After getting the hook and hanging the bait, Chu Mingcheng, who was just about to fish, heard Jiang Luoluo's voice: "Ah Cheng, a group of fish suddenly appeared in the water layer of the fish trap lamp, there are a lot of them, you can try fishing." ”

"It's a pity that the trajectory is too slow, I thought there was a group of tuna at first!"

Fish finders do not detect specific fish, and when a large number of fish gather, they will also show a thick red line, which makes people mistakenly think that a large fish is coming.

However, experienced people will judge whether it is a large fish such as tuna or marlin based on the trajectory of the thick red line.

And Jiang Luoluo, who has been following Chu Mingcheng for so long, obviously has experience.

When he heard this, he immediately changed his original idea of fishing the bottom, and the bait lamp was sixty meters underwater, he threw the hook into the water, and then opened the line cup.

When the hook came to about 60 meters in the water layer, he immediately locked the line cup, stopped the fishing line and continued to release it, and then waited quietly.

It didn't take long for the rod to move.

Chu Mingcheng immediately picked up the fishing rod and stabbed the fish, but this feeling made him a little strange.

The struggle of a normally caught fish causes the rod to flutter continuously, but this time the rod is trembling and rhythmic.

This kind of feel Chu Mingcheng is a little impressed, but because of the reason for the hook, there may be more than one, so the feeling is also a little different.

The unloading force of the spinning wheel has been driven to the maximum, and the things under the water are pumped one by one, making the spinning wheel make a "ding" sound.

Obviously, their strength is not very large, and they still can't pull when the unloading force is at its maximum.

If the thread can be pulled, the spinning wheel will make a continuous sound of "squeak~~".

Chu Mingcheng shook the shaker to quickly reel in the line, it was so troublesome without an electric winch, otherwise it would be good to press it lightly and wait for the fish to be collected.

After a while, the fish had not yet appeared, but the water surface was a little darker.

Originally, the sea surface at night was very deep and secluded, but fortunately, the lights on the fishing boat were bright enough for him to see the water surface clearly, and he could also feel that the sea water was a little green.

But there was an accident, because the five hooks were hung with three fish that looked to be about forty centimeters.

They sprayed ink, and it only took a few moments for the dyed sea water to expand again.

But when Chu Mingcheng saw the type of fish that was hooked, he suddenly showed a look of surprise, it turned out to be a big-tailed fish, this is the best among the spear squid!

Every year in July and August, the number of big-tailed fish increases dramatically.

Although the season has passed, it has not been long and the number of big-tailed fish is still considerable.

Chu Mingcheng didn't immediately bring up the big-tailed fish, but dragged the fishing rod and constantly stimulated them, making them spit out almost the ink in their bodies before lifting them up.

The ink feels dirty, and if you just get the deck dirty, it's not a good feeling if you give it a lot of ink to him.

Using a hook extractor to remove all the hooks, Chu Mingcheng picked up these big-tailed fish and put them into the living water tank, and turned on the oxygen.

Now there is live bait for tuna fishing, as long as you encounter a large tuna, attract it with sardines, and then use the big-tailed fish as bait, the probability of the tuna being hooked will be very high.

Moreover, these big-tailed fish weigh three or four pounds, and the taste is also superb, so you can add meals to the two of them.

Chu Mingcheng washed his hands and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Jiang Luoluo.

"Luo Luo, don't worry about the tuna, there is a batch of big-tailed fish in the water, you come over and fish together."

"Big-tailed fish? Okay, I'll be right here. ”

The fish trap didn't attract tuna, but a school of big-tailed fish was a surprise.

Soon, Jiang Luoluo ran down.

Chu Mingcheng didn't continue fishing while waiting for her to come over, but tied another fishing rod to a hook.

Because the string has already been made in advance, as long as the hook is tied, it is very fast.

When Jiang Luoluo came over, he noticed the movement of the living water tank, first leaned in to take a look, and then came to him: "It looks delicious, it's decided, tomorrow I will have a plate of braised fish." ”

"Okay, the chef has asked you to be the chef these days." Chu Mingcheng smiled and handed her the fishing rod he had made.

Jiang Luoluo agreed, took the fishing rod and started fishing.

However, before the hook sank, the tip of the rod lit up: "Eh, this is it?" ”

She was surprised to raise her fishing rod, and two big-tailed fish appeared on the surface.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the lights on the boat and understood.

The big-tailed fish is also expected to be phototaxis, first attracted by the fish trap lights at the bottom of the water, and then run to the surface because the lights from the surface boat are brighter.

That way it will be easier to fish.

He hurriedly threw the hook out, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the fishing rod to move, this time like Jiang Luoluo, there were also two.

But before she could take out the hook, she heard an excited shout from next to her.

"Wow, wow, five at a time, Ah Cheng, look."

“......”

Chu Mingcheng turned his head and gave a thumbs up.

He also tied five fish hooks, but they all bitten, Jiang Luoluo grabbed the fishing line with both hands and lifted the big-tailed fish, which seemed a little difficult.

One is three or four catties, and five is between fifteen and twenty catties, and it does take a little strength to lift the boat from the water.

Fortunately, because of the plug-in sharing, her physical fitness has improved a lot and she has successfully been promoted.

Jiang Luoluo happily took the fish hook, seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Ah Cheng, I came here to fish together, so what if the tuna comes and we miss it?" ”

Chu Mingcheng was very determined: "No, tuna also has phototaxis, and when you come, you will definitely be attracted by the fish attraction lamp." ”

"However, there is a school of big-tailed fish on the surface, which is their favorite food, and they will definitely prey on it and come to the surface."

"Then there will be tuna blowing up in the water, and then we will know that they are coming."

Jiang Luoluo suddenly nodded when he heard this, and he no longer worried about this matter.

Next, the two of them were in full swing fishing, and in just half an hour, the two of them combined to catch more than 30 big-tailed fish, and the living water tank was full of a little visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Chen Yang sent him a message.

"Ah Cheng, what's the situation over there? I don't have any hair here, I should be in the Air Force today! ”

Chu Mingcheng saw the information, thought about it and replied: "I don't have tuna here, but there is a group of big-tailed fish that have been attracted over, and there are very many of them, why don't you come over and fish together!" ”

"Bigtail fish can be kept in live water tanks as live bait to increase the chance of tuna biting."

Chen Yang immediately replied after seeing the message: "We'll come right away." ”

Obviously, even if it is a group of fish, he would rather spend some fuel to come, at least not need the air force today.

However, sometimes bad luck happens one after another, and the same is true for luck.

Chu Mingcheng was undoubtedly lucky tonight, just when Chen Yang came over, the sea on Chu Mingcheng's side suddenly exploded, making an uproar.

In the silence of the night, the voice was clear.

"Fish... Fish... It's tuna! Jiang Luoluo, who was still fishing for big-tailed fish, saw a huge tuna jump out of the water with his own eyes, and immediately pointed to the sea surface excitedly to remind.

"Haha, it's finally here!" Chu Mingcheng hurriedly threw the big-tailed fish on the water into the living water tank, and then hurriedly came to the side of the boat to observe the situation on the water.

You can't see much of it, but if you look closely, you can see that tuna occasionally appears on the surface of the water for a day or two.

"Lolo, you put away the rod first, I'm going to start tuna fishing."

"Hmm..."

Jiang Luoluo nodded and took the fishing line back.

The tuna doesn't need her to catch it, the main thing is that she's inefficient and no one rotates with her, so she just needs to do some auxiliary things.

After taking back her fishing rod, she put Chu Mingcheng's one away again, and put it aside first.

Then she found a bucket, filled it with some seawater, and then fished out a few of the big-tailed fish she had just caught from the live water tank and put them in, and brought the bucket to Chu Mingcheng's side, ready to take bait at any time.

There is no need to nest in this situation tonight, the tuna is attracted to the surface of the water by the big-tailed fish, and you can just catch it with the big-tailed fish.

Some people may think that it is full of big-tailed fish, why would these tuna eat his bait?

This can be seen from the hunting habits of animals, and the felines of the animal world will choose their targets first when hunting.

The first choice for this goal is the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, among which injured herbivores are more popular than grass-eating cubs.

Because the cubs are protected, the injured herbivores are the ones abandoned by the herd, and are generally on the fringes of the herd.

Obviously, the same is true for tuna, which will also attack if they spot an injured big-tailed fish in the water, preying on this significantly less labor-saving food.

This is also the main reason why Chu Mingcheng occasionally encounters large fish that prey on fish, but he can still catch the target fish, which is the law of the jungle in nature.

He installed two heavy rods in the fishing holes, and added one to increase the chance of getting hooked.

When there is a medium fish, Jiang Luoluo will immediately put away the other fishing line, so that it will not affect Chu Mingcheng, who is fishing.

Grabbed two big-tailed fish, and then used the big hook to run through the body of the fish, turning their pain from black to white.

Throwing the hook bait into the water, Chu Mingcheng adjusted the unloading force separately, and then began to wait for the tuna to take the bait.

At present, the number of tuna frieds is very small, and the night is dark, so he doesn't know what kind of tuna comes and how much there is for the time being.

Fortunately, when I observed just now, I saw a few of them, and it can be seen from the size that the fish are very large, at least more than 150 catties, which fully meets the weight standard of the competition.

While waiting, Chu Mingcheng also took the time to send a message to Chen Yang, telling him that there was a group of tuna here and asking him to come over quickly.

The White Dragon is about five nautical miles away from here, and it takes more than twenty minutes to come here.

Chen Yang got the good news and immediately told the others the news, which made Zhao Jun and his wife, who were originally a little worried, relax.

And Zhang Wei and Shu Ziqiang showed even more excited looks, obviously a good start is still very morale-boosting.

When they arrived at their destination, Chu Mingcheng had already dried up with a tuna.

Because a certain safe distance needs to be maintained between boats, Chen Yang and the others did not disturb him fishing, but took out the bait to prepare.

However, their sardine bait could not attract tuna at all, and the four rods waited for more than ten minutes without any movement.

And because the hook bait is so big, although it attracts some big-tailed fish, they can't swallow the sardines along with the hook.

"I don't think sardines are useless, why don't you divide into two groups first, one group to continue fishing for tuna, and one group to catch some fish as live bait?" Zhang Wei has the most experience in fishing here, so he was the first to react and make suggestions.

Zhao Jun has been fishing for more than a year, and his experience is okay, so he immediately agreed.

The remaining two naturally had no opinions, and they also called Zhao Jun's daughter-in-law, who was okay for the time being, over to fish together.

Later, they will definitely divide into two groups to go tuna fishing, so Zhao Jun's daughter-in-law will be responsible for fishing for live fish.

Compared with the busyness on the White Dragon, Chu Mingcheng's fishing was relatively easy.

After the tuna was hooked, he raised the rod and felt it, and he roughly knew the weight of the fish, which was heavier than he had expected, about more than two hundred catties, but not more than two hundred and fifty catties.

This is already a relatively good large tuna, and in terms of quality, there is a high probability that it will be above good, and it is not impossible to even appear excellent.

Now the competition is about the value of fish, the higher the natural quality, the better, and the more expensive it sells.

When the time came to half past eleven in the night, this tuna was finally pulled by Chu Mingcheng to the side of the boat alone.

Jiang Luoluo held the hook in his hand, saw the right time, leaned forward and probed with both hands, and accurately hooked the tuna's head.

The tuna suddenly flicked its tail very quickly and struggled, and even the hands holding her long handle kept shaking.

Jiang Luoluo pursed his lips and tried to control the fish and not let it break free.

Chu Mingcheng did not take over, but dragged the fishing rod to help control the tuna.

In fact, the fishing rod is handed over to Jiang Luoluo to control, and it will be easier for him to hook the fish with a hook, which he usually does.

But the reason I didn't do it today is that it's a competition, and it's two people participating together.

He can't do it all, which will make Jiang Luoluo feel no sense of participation, and even make her misunderstand whether she can't help at all.

Since we are participating in the competition together, it is natural that the sense of participation is very important.

Chu Mingcheng naturally wouldn't let Jiang Luoluo do a lot of hard work and physical work, and he would be distressed, but these things are not on the list.

After a while, the tuna stopped struggling, and she dragged the fish to the small door of the fish at the stern of the boat.

Now, Chu Mingcheng had to go over to help, and more than two hundred catties of fish were not something she could forcibly pull up.

After taking the hook, Jiang Luoluo hurriedly opened the small door and asked him to drag the fish up.

"It's off to a good start today. It's a pity that it's yellowfin tuna, which is the cheapest. ”

"It's good to have, after all, there are the largest number of yellowfin tuna, and there is a high probability that the tuna you encounter will be them."

For Jiang Luoluo's pity, Chu Mingcheng didn't pick it at all, it would be good to have it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't meet the Air Force.

Subsequently, he took out the fish-killing knife, however, he was snatched away by Jiang Luoluo.

"Let's save time, take this opportunity for you to continue fishing, and I'll take care of this."

"Okay." Chu Mingcheng did not hesitate and directly agreed.

However, after hanging the big-tailed fish and throwing it into the water, he turned his head from time to time, obviously agreeing simply, and feeling a little uneasy.

To bleed such a large tuna, you need to have a lot of strength in your hands, and you have to cut off the arteries in the gills and the tailbone of the fish.

Jiang Luoluo had never handled such a large tuna, but she was not stage frightened at all, and first took out the spikes and hammers used to kill fish from the toolbox.

Then ride on the fish that is still a little alive and aim the spikes at the fish's head.

The hook was indeed pierced in the head of the fish just now, but it was actually a bit off, and the serious injury was not a fatal injury.

Now that the fish is still alive, you will have to kill it completely if you want to bleed.

A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and in the end, Jiang Luoluo still picked up the hammer and hammered it down fiercely, because the force was lighter, the long nail only went in halfway.

The tuna, which had been dying, returned to the light and struggled violently again.

"Oops~"

Jiang Luoluo, who was sitting on the fish, was immediately a little unstable, and hurriedly pressed his hands on the fish to stabilize his body.

Fortunately, the tuna doesn't have much strength now, and she can still control it.

After a while, after the tuna stopped, she no longer hesitated, and immediately picked up the hammer and struck it again.

Compared with just now, the force this time was greater, and the spike was directly submerged.

The tuna's originally open mouth was directly expanded to the maximum, but this time its body stiffened, without any movement, and it looked like a pig's body stiffened for a moment when it was electrocuted.

Next, Jiang Luoluo got off the fish, opened the gill cover, and put the fish-killing knife into it, trying to cut the artery.

She has killed a lot of fish and knows how to let blood.

Although it was a little difficult, she managed to cut the artery, and the blood gushed out at once, and soon stained the deck beneath the tuna.

Next, she cut off her tail and put a hose into the fish's mouth, blocking the arteries and flushing out all the fish's blood.

The blood is washed away, and the final thing is to disembowel, clean the internal organs and throw them away.

Jiang Luoluo, who was busy, wiped a little fine sweat from her forehead with her arm, and breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw Chu Mingcheng's thumbs up to herself, she suddenly showed a bright smile.

When you get involved, you will get further satisfaction.

Just when Jiang Luoluo was about to tie the fish to the tuna's body with a crane and send it into the cold cabin, one of the fishing rods on Chu Mingcheng's side finally moved again.

She didn't care about putting the fish in the refrigerated cabin, and hurriedly stepped forward to take back the fishing line next to Chu Mingcheng, which can be regarded as a very good assistant.
