Chapter 227: Bluefin Tuna
The sum of the three fish kings can probably be sold for more than 15,000, plus this harvest, Zhang Ze estimates that as long as the luck is not too bad, the total income may not be more than 20,000.
As for the cost, with such a large figure, it is negligible.
This is also thanks to the Napoleon wrasse fish king that has just been caught in the space, if it weren't for it, Zhang Ze would have accumulated 30,000 experience points for a long time.
Now there are two wrasses in the space, and the white coral at home.
Zhang Ze felt that he might have to pay attention to the situation of ornamental fish, if the seafood boat makes money, when building a big boat, he will get a super large fish tank by the way, which is also a feature.
Just as he was thinking about watching fish, there was a sudden heavy rain on the sea on his right, and there was a lot of movement.
Zhang Ze was stunned, did he encounter a storm?
That's not right, it's not very windy, he looked behind him and saw that there was no movement, only on the right side.
If you look closely, there is no rain in the sky, but there are simply "fish" on the surface of the sea.
Not surprisingly, a huge school of fish is approaching, and that number is more than 100 million points.
Zhang Ze did not continue to pay attention, but hung up the bait and continued to fish.
Of course, after catching an ornamental fish with a very high appearance and a name of the six immortals, the big fish finally came closer.
This is an unknown small fish, about the size of the middle finger, and it should be some kind of sardine.
For some reason, they kept jumping on the water, jumping very high, and a few of them jumped onto the boat.
"Wangwang~"
Blackie was suddenly alarmed, and stood on the deck barking at the sardines who jumped on the boat.
It seems that sardines have invaded the Multifish, causing it to be territorial or housekeeper.
However, after a while, Xiao Hei suddenly realized that these small fish with big fingers did not seem to be dangerous, so he stopped screaming and leaned over to sniff with his nose.
However, I didn't smell anything, just a fishy smell.
Zhang Ze is not interested in these sardines, which are measured in hundreds of millions, even if he can catch a lot of them with a throwing net.
These fish are not valuable, even if they catch tens of thousands of catties, it is not as cost-effective as his ability to catch reef fish.
But he still had some of his attention on the sardines, or rather, he was paying attention to the new situation on the surface.
Although I don't know if it's some other fish group chasing sardines, so they have such a special situation.
But even if it doesn't, such a large number of sardines will attract the attention of other fish, and Zhang Ze only needs to wait for other big fish to come.
He continued to fish for a black snapper, and the sardines were still bouncing around, but the big fish he was expecting finally came.
The surface of the water suddenly exploded, and when he turned his head to look, he found several tuna that appeared on the surface of the water to hunt.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to be tuna.
However, it was a little farther away, and he didn't see what kind of tuna it was for a while, but it was a bit big, at least more than a meter.
Zhang Ze put away the fishing rod, this time he didn't pretend anymore, and personally went into battle to fight the tuna.
I owe hundreds of thousands, so I have to make money quickly.
So he took out the big fishing wheel, pulled out the fishing line and tied it to the winch, and at the same time turned on the winch to make it turn and get all the lines in the fishing wheel out.
Later, he went to get the big hook and exchanged fifty XP for ten tuna bait.
This bait can be caught as long as it is tuna, and it has the same effect as grouper bait, not exclusive bait, so the chance of being hooked is only increased by 30%.
But even that is enough, it is difficult to attract tuna in a large school of sardines with real baits, but magic bait will do.
Hanging a tuna bait, Zhang Ze threw the bait into the sea at the stern of the boat, and then let the winch turn upside down and release some fishing lines.
Because the tuna is on the surface, he doesn't need to use a plumb sinker, but he doesn't tie a float and let the bait move in the water with the waves.
The flipped fish exuded a fatal allure to the tuna, and nearly a third of the tuna in that school of tuna immediately burst out.
It's about 30 meters away, and it's almost a blink of an eye for a tuna.
The originally relatively soft fishing line on the winch was suddenly tightened, but the unloading value of the fishing wheel was low, and the larger tuna could be pulled, but the winch was different.
The fish that can be pulled and rotated by the winch will be at least more than 500 catties.
Although the tuna that Zhang Ze saw just now was only a glimpse, he also had a general understanding of the size of the fish, and it was only one meter above and one meter and below one meter and five meters.
Tuna are all group-type activities, and one school of fish is basically the same size, unless another school of tuna comes.
Therefore, although the fishing line is tight and cuts waves on the surface of the water, the distance of more than 20 meters has not changed in the slightest.
Zhang Ze turned on the winch the moment the fish was hooked, because it was easy to get off the hook if it was not in time.
This time it was good luck that the fish did not unhook, but was pulled up mercilessly by the power of the winch.
Barely made Zhang Ze wait long before a round tuna appeared on the surface of the water and was pulled to the stern.
", bluefin tuna?"
Zhang Ze never expected to meet the bluefin tuna, which was very famous in later generations, under such circumstances, and he thought it was a very large number of yellowfin tuna.
This immediately let him know that he had made the right decision.
Even if the price has not yet been speculated in China, bluefin tuna is still much more expensive than yellowfin tuna.
It's a pity that this bluefin tuna is only about one and a half meters long, and the weight is estimated to be about 120 to 150 catties.
Most seafood is more expensive the larger it is, especially with tuna and grouper.
More than 100 catties of bluefin tuna, the price does not have a great advantage, but Zhang Ze does not know how much.
He usually goes back to the dock, and occasionally goes to the fish station and doesn't see bluefin tuna.
After all, almost none of the fishermen around the fishing village came to the open sea to fish like him, and bluefin tuna could only be encountered in the open sea.
At this time, the tuna had come to the stern, Zhang Ze immediately stretched out his hook, directly stabbed the fish with a hook, and then cooperated with the winch to lift the fish.
The tuna's physical strength did not consume much, and when it was mentioned in the air, the tail flicked quickly, which was a real electric small motor, which made Zhang Ze's whole person feel like sitting on a massage chair.
He quickly reached out and sucked the bluefin tuna into the space.
[Successfully caught a bluefin tuna, weighing 147.83 catties, experience +100.] 】
"Yes, there are a hundred experience points?"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised by this, but not too surprised.
The last babacore tuna you caught had 60 XP, so it's no surprise that the more valuable bluefin tuna has 100.
He estimated that the experience points of bigeye tuna that he had not encountered might be in seventy or eighty.
It's normal to have so much tuna experience, after all, if you don't cheat by fishing on your own, you won't be able to catch many in a day.
If tuna also has phototaxis, you can rely on purse seine nets to net tens of thousands of them at a time, then it is estimated that the sea in the future will be full of fishing boats specializing in tuna.
This bluefin tuna that has been stabbed by the hook can temporarily live in the space for a while, and even if the wound does not heal, it can live for several hours with the life force of the tuna.
So Zhang Ze was not in a hurry to kill the fish and bleed, but quickly hung up a tuna bait and continued fishing.
There was a group of bluefin tuna that had been lured to the stern of the multifish, so the moment the bait was put down, it was swallowed by a bluefin tuna that came to the surface.
Zhang Ze watched as it swallowed the bait, and then the hook pierced the fish's mouth.
The bluefin tuna swam away in pain, but only after a short distance did the line suddenly tighten, and the hook plunged into it again under the pulling force, and it could not wash its gills even if it kept washing it.
This scene was all seen by Zhang Ze, and he showed a look of sudden realization.
No wonder he has never unhooked with a winch fishing, it turns out that the moment the fish escapes and tightens the fishing line, the reaction force can help the hook to pierce deeper.
Unless the fish washes its gills in place, it basically can't escape.
At this time, he was completely relieved.
Next, Zhang Ze has been repeatedly turning on the winch and then collecting the fish.
It wasn't until the sardines ran away and the bluefin tuna followed that the morning's fishing was over.
Zhang Ze had no intention of chasing, the fish were always moving, and the speed was not slow, his boat was not easy to chase.
As for why they stayed around the Multifish for several hours, it was just that the fish were too large, not really a stay.
"Thirty-eight, a total of five thousand four hundred and forty-five pounds, cool!"
The experience points earned three thousand eight, and the bluefin tuna was even more than five thousand four hundred catties, Zhang Ze estimated that the unit price could be sold for more than one dollar, but I don't know if it could be sold for two.
The domestic tuna market is not large, and if it is in the East China Sea, he can directly try his luck in the sea area close to Xiaori.
In case you meet a fisherman who is small, these bluefin tuna can be sold to them at a high price.
In the 80s, bluefin tuna was already popular in the small days, so the price there is not much higher than in China.
Zhang Ze doesn't have many regrets about this, he can naturally make a lot of money if he has channels, and he thinks he is unlucky if he doesn't.
After a busy morning, it was already early eleven o'clock.
Zhang Ze looked at the bluefin tuna that he caught at the beginning, and was afraid that he would suddenly die and be excluded from the space while he was cooking lunch, so he decided to slaughter the fish and bleed first.
Otherwise, if he appears in the kitchen or living room, it will be very troublesome for him to take out more than 100 catties of fish.
Armed with a killing knife, hammer and spike, he went to the deck and the first bluefin tuna he caught appeared on deck.
As soon as it came out, its wound began to bleed, and then the fish began to shake at a rapid rate on the deck, just like an electric motor.
The deck was wet, and the fish was slippery, allowing it to move around on the deck.
"Eighty~"
As soon as Zhang Ze hammered down, the tuna's mouth suddenly opened to the maximum, and the originally shaking body stopped at once, and he knocked him out.
He didn't expect that after so much time, the tuna would still be so vibrant.
However, it also had something to do with him, as he deliberately didn't aim at the lethal spot with his hook, so the tuna with only a few minor injuries could survive very long in space.
Judging from this situation, he eats tuna for lunch and is alive.
But since they have already started to kill the fish, he can only finish the fish first.
Pick up the spike, aim it at the head of the fish and nail it directly with a hammer, so that the fish dies quickly.
Disemboweled it, took out the internal organs and threw them into the plastic basket next to it, and then cut off the tail spine bone with a knife in the gills
Inserting a hose into the fish's mouth immediately flushes out a large amount of blood from the fish's body, staining the deck red.
Just let the water pipe rush here, Zhang Ze's heart moved, and the next bluefin tuna also appeared on the deck.
After he got the fish and took out the internal organs, the blood that came out of the one next to him was already very pale in color, so he picked up the hose and rushed this one.
It's just that the first one has been dealt with, so it's left on the deck.
Today's cloudy weather and low temperatures are also low, so I am not afraid that the fish will spoil in a short time if left outside.
One by one, the 38 bluefin tuna took more than an hour to be processed, and the entrails were filled with two plastic baskets.
The fish, which was originally more than 5,400 catties, was directly lightened by a few hundred catties after the internal organs and blood were removed.
Zhang Ze was idle, so he took the big scale and counted the weight of these bluefin tuna by himself.
As a result, the fish that was originally nearly 5,500 catties directly became 4,923 catties.
Fortunately, the weight lost is not paid for by him, but by the buyer, and the unit price of the fish will increase a little.
After weighing the fish, he opened the refrigerated cabin, and he didn't bother to use the crane, so he directly hugged the fish one by one.
The fish of more than 100 catties is not particularly large, and it is still quite easy to hold without struggling.
After it was done, Zhang Ze took off his raincoat outside and was still on the side of the boat, and he would take it to wash it later and eat first.
He didn't feel sleepy after lunch, and now his mental condition is much better than in previous months, and he is very energetic after sleeping about six hours a day.
Went and washed the raincoat with laundry detergent, mainly the spot where the fish were held.
Then hang it on the edge of the corridor and tie it with a rope so that it will not be blown away by the sea breeze.
There was so much harvest today, not only the tuna, but also the white eel's income was also very good, and he had fulfilled his expectations for this trip, so he decided to go to the golden sambo boy in the afternoon to sail with them.
If they're idle, go play cards for a while, maybe trolling in the waters where they're located.
So Zhang Ze started the Duoyu and drove to the waters where he fished with Jin Sanbao last time.
This time, Jin Sanbao and the others went to sea a day in advance, and he estimated that they would most likely be over there.
It's only half an hour's journey to go there, and before Zhang Ze arrived, he saw a small boat on the sea from a distance, and looking at the appearance of the boat, there was a high probability that it would be Jin Sanbao and them.
When he got closer, he saw a trawler in the distance on the sea, which was his brother-in-law's.
A bit of a surprise, I didn't expect them to go to another place to trawl today.
