Chapter 208: Caught a Big Tridacn
Because it was already late, Zhang Ze didn't need to save his strength.
So he put the fishing rod on his stomach, and every time he lifted the rod, he could pull the fish back more than half a meter, and his right hand cooperated with the reeling line, and it only took five or six minutes for a fish about seventy or eighty centimeters to appear on the surface.
It is indeed a red-billed eel, and it must have exceeded ten catties, which is worth a lot of money.
Copy it up with a copy net and put it into the space.
At a glance, there are more than fifteen pounds, which is very good.
Next, Zhang Ze kept connecting the rods and directly used up all the remaining six red-billed eel bait.
The red-billed eels caught ranged from three catties to eighteen catties, and none of them exceeded twenty catties, which is a pity.
However, the fish mouth is so good today, even if it is now more than twelve o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ze still continues to exchange the red mouth eel bait.
Two more were fished, but the two times they took longer to catch the bait, and apparently there were fewer and fewer red-billed eels nearby.
Looking at the posture of the rod just now, Zhang Ze thought that he could catch at least 20 fish today, but now it seems that it may only be more than 10.
Continue to hang the bait and throw it into the water, this time the bait is not directly intercepted as before, but slowly sinks to the bottom.
Feeling that the fishing line was no longer released, Zhang Ze closed the fishing boat, and then withdrew a few circles of the line to avoid hanging to the bottom.
After waiting for a while, the rod finally moved again.
As a result, Zhang Ze lifted suddenly. Didn't lift!
"What's the situation, hanging to the bottom?" Zhang Ze tried to pull it back hard, but the fishing line didn't move at all, which made him sure that it was indeed hanging to the bottom.
Hang the bottom, either pull hard, tear the strand off, or take the cut and cut the fishing line.
Either way, it's a loss for Zhang Ze.
After all, it is a fishing line and hook produced by the system that will not be damaged, and it takes a lot of experience points to exchange one.
Zhang Ze continued to drag and tried a few times, and found that he really couldn't drag, so he had to go and get scissors and cut the fishing line.
Just as he was about to put down the scissors, his heart suddenly moved.
Since the hook and line will not be damaged, he can't pull it himself, and he can use the winch on the boat to pull it!
Although the 1,000-meter fishing line is less than 20 or 30 meters, it is definitely better if it can not be lost.
So Zhang Ze put down the scissors, picked up the fishing rod, and released the fishing line.
Pull all the way to the position of the winch next to it, and then pull out some more fishing line and wrap it around the winch.
Turn on the winch, and the loose line begins to slowly tighten.
Under the condition that the fishing line will not break, Zhang Ze is not worried that the hook will bounce back and hurt himself, and the depth of more than 20 meters under the water is enough to buffer this force.
Sure enough, having a winch to help is different.
The fishing line, which he couldn't pull by himself, only lasted for a short time under the rotation of the winch, and was pulled up.
Seeing this, Zhang Ze hurriedly turned off the winch, untied the fishing line that had only been wrapped five times from the winch, and then picked up the fishing rod and turned it to shake Bing, and took the fishing line back.
Spinning around, the loose line was quickly retracted in half.
Just as the fishing line was straightening, Zhang Ze felt a heavy weight again.
He looked stunned, wouldn't he be so unlucky, what was hanging on the hook he just pulled out?
Then, after continuing to collect the line, he found that the hook was indeed still hanging something, but he pulled it hard, and the hanging thing could still be pulled, obviously when he used the winch just now, the thing hanging on the hook was directly pulled up together.
Zhang Ze thinks what kind of coral it should be, and he doesn't know if it's good-looking, if it's good-looking, clean and dispose of it, but it can be put at home as an ornament.
But this thing is really heavy, heavier than the yellowfin tuna caught before.
Of course, it shouldn't actually be as heavy as a yellowfin tuna, after all, there is a difference between pulling dead and living things.
"I wouldn't have taken the line off the winch if I knew I wouldn't have taken it off!" After a few tuggings, Zhang Ze sighed and wrapped the fishing line around the winch again, asking the winch to pull up the thing that was suspected to be coral.
To be honest, he was a little curious about how big this coral really was and how it could sink so much.
However, when something hanging from the hook came out of the water, it was a big surprise to him.
It's not an imaginary coral, but a giant clams.
The width of this clam is seventy or eighty centimeters, which is very large. Its shell clamped the hook tightly inside, no wonder Zhang Ze couldn't pull it himself.
"I didn't expect this to be caught!"
Catching a big clams Zhang Ze is unexpected, this thing is generally more southerly, but I didn't expect it to be here.
Tridacnus is not very common in Nanguang, but it is estimated that there are quite a few on the island further south.
It's not too difficult for a diver to get this stuff, but it's so inefficient that fishermen usually plow it directly through trawling.
Reaching out and touching the lower clams, it was immediately retracted into space, and the intact hook fell to the ground.
[Successfully caught a Cooceli's clams, weighing 192.32 catties, experience +150.] 】
"Hey, that's a bit outrageous!"
It's a pity that the number of clams is not large, especially in this sea area, and it is considered lucky to encounter it.
I just don't know how much this thing can sell for, the clam shell is a rare organic gem, and it is also a Buddhist holy relic, and its own value is very high.
Fortunately, in a few years, the clams will be caught wildly and forced to enter the protection list!
In particular, this kind of Cootoni clams in Zhang Ze space are distributed in the South China Sea Islands, and it is also the largest species of clams.
It itself is known as the king of bivalve shellfish, with a maximum weight of 400 catties and a shell width of 1.2 meters.
Accidentally caught such a thing today, Zhang Ze suddenly felt a little excited and wanted to get more.
It's better to go back and inquire how much this thing can sell for, and if the price is really high, then he will go and get a set of diving equipment at that time.
In the future, every time you encounter a place with a lot of corals, you can go into the water to look for it.
Although the clams will become a protected animal in the future because they are overfished, Zhang Ze can't stop this kind of thing.
If you can't beat it, you can join, and if it's cheaper, others might as well be cheaper yourself.
Although it was late at night, Zhang Ze didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply untied the fishing line and continued fishing.
He hesitated when he hung the bait, but finally chose to fish for the red-billed eel again, and then change it when the fish was no longer hooked.
The bait sank to the bottom again, and this time Zhang Ze collected more fishing lines.
Obviously, the bottom terrain is undulating, and the hook is easily attached to high corals or other things when driven by the current.
This was the case with the clam just now, he had already collected some fishing lines, and the hook happened to be driven by the current and floated into its shell.
After waiting for a small meeting, maybe the nearby red-billed eagle was almost caught, but there was not a single one.
In this case, Zhang Ze can only choose to replace the bait, the red-billed eel is gone, and it does not mean that there are no other fish.
Now that he has changed to ordinary fishing bait, the hook bait has just reached the bottom, and the fishing line is suddenly tightened when he is reeling in the line, which is a fish interception.
The fish was sleeping, but a particularly attractive food suddenly fell in front of its eyes.
Originally, it was still wondering if this was a trap, but the next moment the food ran up.
It gave up thinking and hurriedly chased after it, swallowed the food that had only taken out a short section of food, and then was hooked in the mouth by a fishhook.
Feeling the foreign object and pain in his mouth, the fish that bit the hook subconsciously drilled into the place where he was hiding.
It was a shelter it had recently found, and it had been hiding from many predators.
And Zhang Ze felt the movement from the fishing rod, snapped and turned off the pay-off switch of the fishing wheel, and then lifted the fishing rod hard.
The rod swished slightly, and the line tightened, and at the same time, the force caused the hook to penetrate deep into the fish's mouth, firmly hooking the fish.
However, the familiar touch of hanging the bottom came, which made Zhang Ze feel a sigh in his heart.
It won't be so unlucky today, right?
After all, the line is tight at the moment, and there is no sign of the fish struggling.
Don't panic when you encounter something, first take your mobile phone and send it to a circle of friends.
Oh, it's okay without a phone!
Zhang Ze tried to pull hard, and found that he could pull it, and at the same time, the fishing rod finally heard the movement of the fish struggling.
His eyes lit up, and it seemed that the fish had burrowed into the coral burrow.
Groupers and some parrotfish have a habit of hiding in burrows and pretending to be dead when they are frightened.
After fishing for grouper for so long, Zhang Ze is very familiar with it.
There are different techniques for fishing this type of fish, and when the fish burrows into the hole, you have to pull it hard to keep it in.
But if you don't react, and the fish has already gotten in, then you have to change the way.
If you are deadlifted, the fishing line will rub against the coral reef or reef, and then the tangent will occur.
At this time, deadlifting is the next step, and the correct way is to deceive the fish.
You can release the line first to let the line relax and reduce the vigilance of the hooked fish.
When it feels that it is no longer in danger, it will leave the place where it is hiding, and this is a good time to fish.
However, it also requires a certain amount of experience, and novices will not be able to detect whether the fish has run or not.
Zhang Ze doesn't need to be so troublesome, this is considered unlucky for this fish, and he encountered a fishing line that will not break.
He directly dragged the fishing rod upward, judging from the movement, the fish was not too big, even if the fish hid in the cave, it was impossible to resist his brute force.
Sure enough, the fish struggled to resist this inexplicable strange force, but it was still pulled out of the cave little by little, and the main thing was that the sharp pain in the mouth made it unbearable.
The fish is pulled out of the burrow, and the rest is easy.
Zhang Ze quickly retracted the line, and after a short while, a red-dominated grouper appeared on the surface of the sea.
The fish is not very big, estimated to be three or four catties, so he didn't have to copy the net, grabbed the fishing line and lifted it directly.
It was an expensive sea red spot, which made him very satisfied.
These fish are put into the space, not only because the freshness of life is guaranteed, but even the lactic acid produced by the violent struggle after the fish bite the hook will naturally dissolve, which Zhang Ze learned from the restaurant manager.
Of course, the manager didn't know that the lactic acid produced by the fish after a violent struggle would have an effect on the fish's flesh.
Because deep-sea fish basically do not survive after being hooked, many fishermen do not provide bloodletting services, which also leads to the quality of the deep-sea fish they buy are very average.
The more lactic acid accumulates, the greater the damage to the fish, which will affect the price of fish in the future.
After these deep-sea fish are collected into the space, lactic acid naturally decomposes, and even if Zhang Ze takes it out without bloodletting, the fish blood will not affect the meat quality in a short time.
Therefore, except for some specific fish, most of the deep-sea fish are too lazy to bleed, but the quality of the fish has been praised by others.
Now the restaurant has gradually shifted the focus of acquisition to his side, and even a lot of more popular fish have to be collected from him, which is why Zhang Ze considered getting a truck first.
Selling to a restaurant is always more profitable than selling to Jin Guangcheng, and now there are more and more big boats in the fishing village.
Without his share, the impact on him is not as great as it was at the beginning, after all, Zhang Ze, a high-priced fish, will not sell it to him.
A sea red spot came up, and Zhang Ze's interest in fishing was high again.
Continue to use regular bait, although it will be more likely to fish for grouper with grouper bait, but coral reefs are not just worth grouper.
For example, the price of some parrotfish, Tsing Yi and even Napoleon wrasse is very high, and it can be compared to the highest-grade batch of grouper, so it is best to use ordinary bait and not miss these fish.
Gently pump the rod to make the ordinary bait that has turned into a shrimp move like a live shrimp.
Twenty seconds passed, without any warning, and suddenly there was a big pull from the fishing rod.
If you eat it so violently, maybe it's a grouper again.
This time, Zhang Ze's hook bait stayed in the water layer at a depth of about 20 meters, and at this depth, the fish could not hide in the cave like the sea red spot before.
Before, it was when he was taking in the thread, and the thread cup was just open.
Feeling the pull of the fishing rod, Zhang Ze went directly to brute force.
With the unloading force of the fishing boat, he can basically drag up the fish under 20 catties under the water.
The strength of this fish is a little more than that of the red-billed eel that is more than fifteen pounds at the beginning, but not much.
Zhang Ze immediately showed his good waist and kept lifting the rod to reel in the line.
However, when the fish exploded his strength during the period, he could briefly stalemate with him for a few seconds.
The fish lasted less than three minutes before it appeared on the surface of the sea, and it took about three minutes for twenty meters, or with his full strength, this fish can be proud.
Luckily, it's a Zhengqing Yi, that is, Shu's pigtooth fish.
This fish is very famous, and the price is good, about 18 pounds in later generations, and the price is naturally far less than that of Shanghai Red Spot.
After all, there is only one pound or even seven or eight taels of sea red spots, and the price is more expensive than it.
Zheng Tsing Yi is still very popular in the restaurant, especially this one of more than fifteen catties, the unit price is estimated to be about three yuan.
A few dozen dollars a fish is already very expensive!
Next, not only Zheng Tsing Yi, but also fake Tsing Yi, spotted sea bream, east star grouper, west star grouper, and all kinds of high-value fish were caught by Zhang Ze one by one.
Of course, there are expensive ones and cheap ones, such as black sea bream, rock snapper, yellowfin sea bream, and even a few cheap parrotfish and skinned fish.
This is also the disadvantage of ordinary bait, which can catch any fish, but the value is also uneven.
"Ha~"
I don't know how long I fished, until I yawned involuntarily, and Zhang Ze came back to his senses.
I looked at my watch, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning.
No wonder there are more than seventy more fish in the space, it turns out that so much time has passed.
