Chapter 227: It's just the beginning

"Old Burke, look, there's a light over there!"

Not far from the castle, a fishing boat is floating on the sea.

The fishing boat was small, but there were seven or eight people, and it looked very old, and the small wooden boat was full of visible "wounds" that did not affect the hull, and only a little oil lamp provided the light.

Night fishing is very dangerous, especially in this era, there is not so advanced technology, the black light is blind, and there is a possibility of hitting the reef at any time if you are not careful.

However, it is undeniable that many economically valuable fish surface at night, and if you are lucky, you can earn enough money for a year's living expenses in one night.

Hearing a young man's shout, many people gathered around.

"Where, Babi."

"East." Said the young man known as Babi.

People cast their eyes into the distance and soon saw the light there.

"What is that place, and why is it so bright?"

At this moment, a gray-haired, thin old man walked out of the cabin.

"Let me see."

He took out a binoculars from his body, which had been repaired many times with bandages and stained with kerosene, and looked at it.

Tonight, there were no stars in the night sky, and a dark cloud obscured the moon, so it made the sea extremely dark.

Therefore, the old man could only see the courtyard illuminated by the light, but could not see the whole castle clearly.

"It seems. It's a ship, and there's a very bright oil lamp on board. Old Burke said.

"Show me." Barbie took the telescope from Old Burke's hand and looked at it, and then said enviously, "What rich people, there is grass on the deck, and they seem to be eating." ”

"Let me see, let me see."

Next, the only telescope was circulated many times by them.

Old Burke directly signaled the boat to come closer, the night hunt itself is more dangerous, and getting closer to each other can also take care of each other.

"What are they doing in this area at night?" Babi said suspiciously.

"What else can you do, come and fish at night, haven't you seen it?" Old Burke said.

"I've seen a few in the past.

But this is the first time I've seen this group of people.

Come to the sea to fish with such a small fishing rod, there are many tuna in this area, this group of people is not afraid of being carried by tuna directly into the sea. ”

It's not uncommon for people to catch tuna with a fishing rod, but it's too difficult, tuna is fast, and powerful, it's common to break the rod and line, and if you're unlucky, you'll even be pulled off the boat by the fish.

So these fishermen generally use fishing nets.

When a school of tuna is found, a small boat is lowered, a net more than 1 kilometer long is dragged out, the fish are surrounded and killed with spearguns.

The sea breeze at night is stronger than during the day, and the waves roll one after another, so loudly that even the fishing boats begin to sway from side to side.

Although this fishing boat is not small, it can only be a drop in the ocean when it is taken to the sea.

But the boat of the group of "rich people" not far away was always stable.

The castle's illumination was projected on the sea, so the experienced old Burke quickly spotted something swimming in the sea with the light.

He laughed, "Believe it or not, even if these guys don't get pulled down, the rod will definitely break."

Babi, wait and be prepared, if someone falls, remember to drive over and save them immediately.

Falling into the sea at night is not a trivial matter. ”

"Yes."

And at this moment, Tony, who has been waiting for a long time and has not caught the bait, is also ready to take the bait and change the fishing method.

But suddenly.

Hai Dongqing on one side flapped his wings and issued an early warning.

Tony came back to his senses, and Hai Dongqing also made this sound when he was a grouper just now, indicating that it should be a big fish.

Char also stared at the sea, watching the waves churn, his perspective was better than that of ordinary people, so he could also see what was under the sea.

"It looks like it should be a few hundred kilograms." Char said.

"A few hundred kilograms?" Tony's eyes widened, "Is it a bluefin?" ”

"I don't know bluefins." Char said, "Still, it's eating the bait. ”

Tony saw the shadows in the sea, too, constantly attacking the bait floating around the boat.

Tony didn't hesitate and directly began to shake the rod in his hand to attract the attention of the tuna.

The intense excitement gave his adrenaline pumping and his eyes lit up.

The surroundings fell silent, and Tony felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

Everyone was staring at the rod and the sea, their hearts beating fast.

A few hundred kilograms, this fish must be at least two meters taller, taller than ordinary people, and it is definitely a giant in the sea.

If you can catch this thing, you can say that you are the one who stands at the top of the fishing world.

Anyone can get excited.

And right in this moment.

The sea rod in Tony's hand was suddenly pulled down and bent into an arch, and the fishing wheel also rotated rapidly, and the fishing line in the wheel was pulled less and less!

Hooked!!

Tony's feet were on the ground, his hands were like eagle claws, and he grabbed the rod and the fishing wheel fiercely, stopping the fishing wheel from turning, but it was also in an instant.

The sea breeze fluttered in his hair, and the rod was drawn in an astonishing arc.

He quickly lifted the sea rod, and the rod made of the Arvak Tree was full of toughness, soft and hard, and when he moved it like this, the sea rod was like an ancient warrior swinging a red tassel spear.

In a sense, sea fishing is actually another form of martial arts.

Humans and the giants of the sea compete for their own power above the sea.

"The fishing rod, the fishing line and the person are all holding up?"

Old Burke on the fishing boat on one side said with some confusion.

"What kind of material is this fishing rod made of, and it hasn't broken when it bends like that?"

"It seems like a big fish." Babi looked at it from afar and said.

"It's a big fish indeed." Old Burke looked through his binoculars, "Look at the curvature of the splash and the pole, at least hundreds of pounds, probably tuna." ”

"Hundreds of pounds!?" Bobby's eyes widened, and he looked at Tony, who was wrestling with the fish, "Good boy, how angry is this man?" ”

Tony's strength is not great, but the rune on his hand armor has blessed him a lot, but even so, he is now a little struggling.

This big fish is fierce and keeps ramming the line.

He knew that at this time, he must not use the rocking wheel to fight hard and forcibly reel in directly.

As a result, in addition to increasing the risk of wire breakage, it may also lead to decoupling of the fish's mouth.

He's waiting for an opportunity.

Alicia and Isabel are usually not interested in fishing, but at the moment, watching Tony battle his wits with the giant beast is also a little focused.

The next moment.

His waist and abdomen erupted, his chest swelled, and he lifted a breath, and a metal plate on his hand armor opened, spewing out a little steam, and with the help of his hand, he jerked up the sea rod!

Swish!

At extreme speed, the tip of the rod even made a sound in mid-air, and the moment the rod head fell again, Tony's left hand quickly turned the fishing wheel!

He is using the elasticity of the sea rod to recycle the line: first raise the sea rod, you can raise it behind you, when the rod body falls, the fishing line will naturally loosen, and then the rocker reels are effortless.

Keep the rod and the wheel working together, the longer rod, each time from the high to the bottom, can retract more than 3 meters of fishing line, and his middle rod can also retract more than 2 meters of line.

Tony definitely has fishing experience in the past and he's very skilled.

Whoop......

They watched Tony's smooth take-up operation, accompanied by the mechanical sound of the bearings rotating by the fishing wheel, which was very kind and pleasing to the eye.

In the distance, on the sea dozens of meters away, a wave suddenly set off, and a huge blue-black shadow was being pulled by a white fishing line, struggling wildly!

See the two iconic small dorsal fins that are close to each other.

The excitement in Tony's eyes grew stronger.

"It's bluefins, yes."

Old Burke, who was not far away, also saw this scene through the telescope, and he whispered.

"Good boy, it's been a long time since I've seen a big guy like this."

"How big?" The rest of the crew on the fishing boat asked.

"Five or six hundred pounds, almost."

Several crew members widened their pupils together, this kind of big cargo, if no one said it was tuna, it was a small shark or a small whale.

"Don't worry."

Old Burke continued.

"It's just the beginning."
