Chapter 258: Whale Fishing
After an hour of fishing in the central part of the country, where a lot of grouper and red-billed eel were harvested, the number of fish inevitably decreased.
Just because there are large schools of fish doesn't mean that there are also a lot of these high-value fish.
Zhang Ze didn't want to waste time on these ordinary fish, so he continued to come to the cabin to change places.
There are many isolated reefs in this fishing spot, and some of them are fish.
The Duoyu began to sail slowly on the surface, and Zhang Ze observed the fish finder from time to time.
Suddenly, a small red dot caught his attention.
Coming from the left front of the ship, slowly approaching his position.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up, there was a big fish!
In addition to schools of fish in the sea, if you occasionally encounter any big fish, the fish finder can also detect them separately.
I don't know what kind of big fish it is, but judging by its slow moving trajectory, it is likely to be a grouper.
Large groupers are not very fast swimmers, but they can't be absolute, after all, there are many large sea creatures that swim slowly.
For example, the sunfish, but this one is definitely not, the sunfish is too slow.
So after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Ze decided to use ordinary fishing bait, which is the safest.
A few hundred catties of fish can be caught by a small winch, so he is too lazy to use a big winch.
Zhang Ze didn't know that at this time, about two nautical miles away from his side, a massacre was happening.
An adult female Koch's beaked whale is lying flat on the surface of the sea, surrounded by bloodstains, and several huskies are enjoying their meal tonight.
If Zhang Ze was here, he might be able to recognize that these killer whales were the ones who hunted the great white sharks before.
Tonight, they hunted a female Kochk's beaked whale that had just given birth.
Normally, they will give priority to attacking newborn calves, but when large whales are weak after giving birth, they decisively choose the big ones.
As for the small one, he had already fled in fright.
And the small group of Ke's beaked whales wandered around for a while, and after screaming for a while, they swam in the direction of the calf.
They weren't looking for the calf, they were simply looking for a direction and leaving.
Koe's beaked whales are the most powerful cetaceans in diving, with a record depth of 2,992 meters, which is normally a way to evade prey.
In addition, these killer whales were eating, and they couldn't eat one Koh's beaked whale at all, so the other Kok's beaked whales did not dive and escape, but left normally.
Because they know very well that these natural enemies are full at the moment, and they will not come to harm them again for the time being.
As for the calf, it ran two nautical miles, tired and hungry.
Just when it didn't know what to do, a deadly attraction caught its attention.
Soon, it found something that appealed to itself.
It had little knowledge of the world and didn't know what it was, but it instinctively opened its mouth.
Kok's beaked whales feed mainly on fish and crustaceans, but they do not have functional teeth and hunt mainly by suctioning.
So the little whale, which opens its mouth, suddenly emits a suction force and sucks the hook bait into its mouth.
However, the moment it closed its mouth, the hook pierced its mouth.
The pain-biting calf instinctively began to shake its body, causing a series of chain reactions.
Zhang Ze, who had been waiting on the boat for most of the meeting, saw that the fish was finally hooked, and hurriedly started the winch to stab the fish and let the winch pull the fish up.
The newborn Ko's beaked whale is two meters seven and weighs five or six hundred pounds.
Males can grow up to seven meters five and weigh three tons, while females will be smaller.
So at the moment, the reaction of the fishing rod is very large, and the speed of the winch pulling the line is not fast, which looks a little difficult.
Zhang Ze observed and saw that there was no problem, so he went to pull the crane rope over and get a lasso, so that it would be convenient to pull the fish up.
With the lasso in hand, he stood by and waited.
The water here is also not deep, only about fifty meters, no matter how strong the creature is, it has the limit of endurance, and this big fish can't resist for long, and it is pulled to the surface.
"Damn, what kind of fish is this? Like a whale? β
Seeing the creatures on the water's surface, Zhang Ze was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would catch a whale, although this whale was small, it was still a cetaceans.
This thing has to be released, he is a valuable person who will not let it go, but the whale is not in his money-making project, and he has no interest in it.
However, the big hook had to be removed first, so he continued to tie the young whale to the tail with a lasso and lift it up with a crane.
The calf swayed helplessly in the air, but to no avail.
Zhang Ze took the hook off with a tool, and was about to release the calf when his heart suddenly moved.
So he reached out and touched the calf and took it into space.
That's right, I don't plan to buy and sell whales, but you can collect them in the space to gain experience points!
This is his first time fishing for whales, and he doesn't know if the experience of these whales is much, if it is, he will inevitably go to the whale hunt.
After all, there are also various cetacean bait for sale in the bait space, and it is possible to fish for whales.
[Successfully caught a Kok's beaked whale, weighing 587.56 catties, experience +500.] γ
βwhatοΌβ
Zhang Ze wiped his eyes and looked again, it was indeed five hundred points of experience, he was not wrong.
What the hell, whales give so many experience points?
Of course, a few hundred XP points for a normal whale doesn't mean anything to him, after all, catching a whale is not that efficient, and there are not as many of them as ordinary fish.
But in the case of the fishing king, it is completely different.
Zhang Ze didn't know what type of whale the Ke's beaked whale was, but judging from its size, he knew that it was not a large whale and was completely fishable.
It's about the same weight as a manta ray, he has even fished manta rays, and he is afraid of ordinary whales?
With a winch and a crane, maybe you can have a wave with the killer whale, but if you can't do it, go back and change to a bigger guy.
This is obviously the lowest level of the cetaceans, the Ko's beaked whale, all give 500 experience points, and the whale king's words directly give 50,000, so how fast is the upgrade.
It's a pity that killer whales are too vindictive, and after hurting them, they may be retaliated against, otherwise Zhang Ze would be ready to fish for them.
At the top of the food chain, the experience points given by killer whales are definitely very exaggerated.
It's so exciting, if he encounters whales in the future, he will have to pay attention.
There are many species of whales in the South China Sea, and Zhang Ze has gone to sea so many times, so he naturally encountered a lot of whales.
Many of them are not big, only about two or three meters, four or five meters, and killer whales are quite big compared to them.
Big guys like blue whale sperm whale Zhang Ze don't dare to mess with, these little guys he doesn't dare to mess with?
He seemed to see a large number of experience points swept in, and the spatial level was frantically improved.
Today's space is more than seven meters in length, width and height, and I am trying to rise to level 100, and when the time comes, I don't know how many fish can be held.
Zhang Ze was about to release the Ke's beaked whale, and the next moment, he heard a special cry from the sea in the distance.
This sound is quite familiar to him, isn't the call of the calf he caught just now similar?
Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted Cao Cao to come!
He didn't say a word, and immediately took out a 3,000-meter fishing line, which was exchanged for backup before.
The rope of the crane was untied, and then the 3,000-meter fishing line was tied to the large winch for about 1,800 meters.
The rest is tied to the wheel of the crane rope, so that the winch and the crane can exert force at the same time when fishing for whales, and the force can be used in one place.
Fishing for big guys, Zhang Ze had to do this, mainly because he was afraid that a single winch would not be able to pull the whales.
The distant shouts were getting closer, apparently coming towards him.
He immediately exchanged a bait for a Kok's beaked whale from the space, and when the bait appeared, it turned into a deep-sea fish, lying on its stomach.
Zhang Ze hung the bait on a large hook, threw it into the water, and then started the winch to slowly release the line.
As the line was released, the power of the winch also caused the small wheels on the crane behind to rotate.
However, Zhang Ze didn't put much fishing line, and stopped about fifty meters or so, waiting for the Ke's beaked whale to take the bait.
A few hundred meters away, five Ko's beaked whales were swimming towards the fishing boat, attracted by the lights and curious to come and see.
The second is that they just heard the signal for help from their own people, and it was the baby who escaped.
However, before they could get close to the fishing boat, a strong attraction came from the fishing boat.
The five Ko's beaked whales immediately went crazy and immediately sped up to swim towards the fishing boat.
I used to come here out of curiosity and hearing the cries for help from my fellow people, so it would be for the things that attracted me.
However, for every small group, there will be a leader.
Their leader is a male Koch's beaked whale that is more than 7.5 meters long and has reached the rank of a whale king.
The calf was its child.
The body type, which is more advantageous than its own kind, also allows it to successfully grab the thing that attracts it.
However, the next moment a sharp pain came from its mouth, and it knew that it had fallen into a trap.
Before it had time to resist, Zhang Ze decisively turned on the winch, and at the same time quickly went over and started the crane as well.
The two machines used force at the same time, and directly pulled the Kok's beaked whale over.
But it also reacted quickly, even though its mouth was in sharp pain, it still burst out with extremely powerful force, just enough to resist this huge pull.
", it's good to bring the crane with you, otherwise the winch won't be able to pull this big guy."
The body of more than 7.5 meters is larger than that of white sharks.
But because the tonnage is higher, the whales are also more powerful.
Fortunately, the winch and crane together have more advantages, or the strength on his side is greater, and the Ko's beaked whale just broke out, and was pulled in the direction of the boat little by little.
The other Ko's beaked whales were all swimming around in panic, not knowing how to help their leader.
As the minutes passed, Zhang Ze watered the already heated machine with cold water.
Fortunately, it's winter, and it's not good to dissipate heat in summer.
I don't know how long it took for the Ko's beaked whale to appear in the stern of the ship.
At this point, it had resisted to the point of exhaustion, and it had no more strength to struggle.
Fleshly creatures want to fight against machines, unless they are crushed by force, they really can't fight.
So the Kok's beaked whale slowly left the water, appeared in mid-air, and was about to be pulled onto the boat.
However, Zhang Ze didn't let it lie on the deck, and as soon as he showed up, he reached out and put this Ke's beaked whale into the space.
The side length of the space is not as long as this Kok's beaked whale, but fortunately, it can be placed diagonally, and the space is enough.
There are a lot of fish in the space, but fortunately, I only went out to sea today, and with this large Ke's beaked whale, the space has not yet reached the point of being full.
After receiving experience points, he immediately released the two Kok's beaked whales.
The leading Ke's beaked whale looked at the scene in front of him in confusion, found that his child was also by his side, hurriedly greeted it, and quickly ran away.
The anxious Ke's beaked whale next to him saw that the leader was back, and hurriedly followed.
Zhang Ze watched them leave, smiled slightly, and then upgraded the space to a level.
The leading Ke's Beaked Whale brought him 50,000 experience points, plus the original leftovers, a total of more than 53,000.
At present, it only takes 37,000 experience points to upgrade, and after clicking on upgrade, there are more than 16,000 experience points left, and you can upgrade again with another 22,000.
To put it simply, Zhang Ze only needs two more whale kings to raise the space to level forty, and it seems that he will have to pay more attention to this in the next few days.
After looking at the time, it was just over ten o'clock in the evening, so he simply continued to find a place to fish, and it didn't end until twelve o'clock in the evening.
After driving for an hour in the direction of the open sea, he stopped, put down the anchor and turned off the engine and went back to take a bath and sleep.
This location is generally not accessible to fishermen near the sea, and it is not easy to encounter few boats in the open sea, so there is a high probability that they will not be disturbed at night.
After the night, Zhang Ze got up at six o'clock the next morning, first came to the deck to contact the boxing technique, and went to make breakfast after the physical activity started.
After eating, he sailed to the south coast, preparing to stroll along the coast of Nanguang to see if he could encounter the dragon grouper.
Basically, every time he finds a fishing spot, or a location infested by big fish, Zhang Ze will give priority to putting down a bait exclusive to the dragon.
Wait for most of the fish to be baited, and then switch to something else.
A day passed, and a lot of fish were caught, and two hundred-pound big fish were also caught. An octopus, a gentian grouper.
There is also a variety of dragon grouper, but unfortunately they are all small goods of one or twenty catties.
Zhang Ze continued to go south, and when he was about to drive in the direction of Hailing Island, he unexpectedly encountered a group of cuties.
The cuties were curious about the Multifish, swimming around and spitting at him.
It turned out that he might just take a few pictures and watch the cuties leave.
But last night's experience with whales made him understand that many aquatic creatures can actually be fished and seen.
"It's you, spit on me, let you taste a little bitter!"
Zhang Ze immediately exchanged for a finless porpoise bait, and after hanging it, he started the winch to release some of the fishing line, and after feeling that the length was about the same, he directly threw the bait with his hand and landed in front of the naughty finless porpoise.
The little finless porpoise was originally just curious about what was thrown here, but a deadly allure was attracting it.
It immediately whined and swallowed the bait.
Then, it suffers.
Without the slightest resistance, he was caught by a winch.
Zhang Ze smiled and patted the face of the finless porpoise: "Make you naughty!" β
Then it was put into space.
[Successfully caught an Indo-Pacific finless porpoise, weighing 187.65 catties, experience +60.] γ
