Chapter 261: Big Fish Emerge from Strong Wind and Waves

The concentration of fish makes it easy to attract larger predators in the vicinity.

Hairtail fish are ferocious, not only eating small fish and shrimp, but also eating their own kind, but they are also food for other large fish.

The area where Zhang Ze is located is a sea ranch with a lot of life and seaweed.

This group of hairtail fish didn't live here in the first place, but just because the food gathered here.

There are all kinds of small fish, deep sea snails, and so on.

These hairtail fish stand upright in the water like steel bars, and when food passes by, they immediately jump up and bite it.

However, at this time, three uninvited guests came, and they were like swordsmen, using their long beaks like sharp swords to easily penetrate a yellow-eyed hairtail fish with a length of more than one meter.

After swimming with it for a distance, he shook his head a few times, and easily tore the hairtail into two pieces.

The hairtail fish slowly floated down from the water, but the big fish caught the meat with a slight lift of its head and swallowed it in one gulp.

His companion arrived just in time to swallow the other half of the hairtail, and then continued the hunt.

However, they are located to the east of the fish, some distance from the fishing boats, so they are just not attracted by the bait.

But it was a coincidence, Zhang Ze happened to be a little thirsty, and he didn't continue fishing after collecting the fish from several fishing rods, but went to drink a bowl of water, and then went to the cockpit to look at the fish finder.

At present, when he goes out to sea to look for tuna, no matter what fish he catches, he will go to see the fish finder every once in a while.

Tuna rarely stay in one place for long periods of time and are always active, so if you look at the fish finder from time to time, you might be able to spot them.

At this moment, after Zhang Ze saw a red dot on the edge of the fish, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that this was the big guy who was attracted by the fish.

It was also a good luck that a big guy had just hunted a ribbon fish and was seen by him.

The other two are in the school of fish, but they are obscured.

Zhang Ze looked at the movement trajectory of the big fish and found that the speed was quite fast, and he suspected that it might be tuna.

So he immediately turned on all the lights on the boat, and then went to the deck, took out the bait, and began to throw it into the water, attracting the big guy.

The fishing boat has been turned off and anchored, and it is very troublesome to restart the boat if it wants to drive over.

The effect of throwing the bait is really good, Zhang Ze changed the hook on the bamboo pole back to a big hook, hung an ordinary bait, and threw it into the water and only waited for a short time to win.

"Crunch." The rod bends down in a very large arc, the winch has been started, and the result is a stalemate.

The fishing line trembled at a high frequency, and all the water droplets on it were shattered.

Zhang Ze was surprised, the fish was so big?

After a while, the iron shell on the outside of the winch engine became hot and overheated.

Zhang Ze hurriedly covered the plastic bag, and then poured water to cool it. Fortunately, it is winter, and the water temperature is very low at night, so it can be quickly cooled down even if you leave a plastic bag.

Time passed slowly, and he kept pouring water on the plastic bag outside the winch with a water hose, but the temperature of the winch's engine kept rising.

The engine was installed under the side of the boat, and the shell was rainproof, but it was not safe to flush it with water, so he put the bag on.

It's just that it is more difficult to dissipate heat by being stuffed by plastic bags, although there is cold water to cool it, but it is a drop in the bucket.

The fishing line was not recovered at all, and was even pulled away more than 100 meters.

At this moment, Zhang Ze doubted whether it was a shark under the water, otherwise how could he have such strength.

He removed the bag and turned off the winch and faucet, then grabbed the rod with both hands and tried to lift it up to prevent the fish from unhooking its gills.

At this moment, because the winch is closed, it has been pulled by the fish and rotated in the opposite direction, but the unloading force will be higher than his large fishing wheel, so the fish's physical strength is still rapidly consumed.

Zhang Ze gritted his teeth and grabbed the fishing rod, and his fingers began to turn white, obviously using all his strength.

This fish has a lot of stamina, and after fighting the winch for so long, it is still full of strength, just like a tireless fighter.

The first round of the outbreak has not ended until now, and the tuna still has a time to rest, as if the fish does not need to rest at all.

Carrying the fishing rod for most of the day, during which the tip of the rod will swing back and forth from time to time, and whenever this time Zhang Ze needs to pull the fishing rod hard to prevent the fish from washing the gills and spitting out the hook in the process of escaping.

Fortunately, the temperature is low, and the winch cools quickly, but after more than ten minutes, the surface of the winch shell is cold.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze turned on the winch again, and at the same time took a little rest himself.

This fish is so difficult to deal with, it feels more difficult to catch than a shark, a bit like the previous marlin.

"Huh!"

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh, such a tireless fish, isn't it a marlin or a big swordfish?

He has caught so many big fish, and it is only these two fish that have this characteristic at the moment.

The price of these two types of fish is not very high, but fortunately, the weight is sufficient, and it can still be sold at a good price.

But compared to the price, it seems to be more shocking to show it to others.

After the winch was turned on this time, the fishing line was obviously stunned, and then it was a stalemate again.

However, the first time it was the fish that won, and he ran more than 100 meters with the fishing line.

While the winch was closed, he ran farther, estimated at 400 meters from the fishing boat.

Now the winch is activated, and after a stalemate for a while, the line begins to recycle at a very slow speed, indicating that the fish are tired after running for so long, which is good news.

However, there is also bad news, the winch worked for a while and then it was hot, so Zhang Ze had to turn off and continue to grab the fishing rod to add weight to the fish.

After three more rounds of fighting, a big fish finally appeared in his sight.

As he guessed, it was indeed a marlin or a swordfish, because it was still more than twenty meters away from him, and he couldn't tell it for the time being.

At the last 20 meters or so, the fish had completely lost its strength and was lying on the surface of the water, so the fishing line was quickly retracted, and it reached the side of the boat in a few breaths.

At this time, Zhang Ze finally saw clearly, it was a black-skinned marlin, the length felt like it was more than four meters, and the estimated weight was more than 800 catties, or even more exaggerated.

The visual impact of this black-skinned marlin was much greater than the swordfish he had caught before, and the two were not of the same size.

That one is only more than 300 catties, and the weight of this one is estimated to be more than doubled.

Zhang Ze hurriedly took the rope to tie the tail of the fish and lifted the fish with a crane.

Under normal circumstances, it is very dangerous to do this, and a marlin can hurt people if it struggles, so it needs to be killed before being hoisted.

However, the tail of the fish had just reached the side of the boat, and Zhang Ze reached out and touched it, and the marlin whose body was still mostly in the water was included in the space.

[Successfully caught a black marlin, weighing 1006.54 catties, experience (king fish) +12000]

Seeing that the length was just four meters and the weight was just over a thousand catties, to be honest, Zhang Ze was a little disappointed.

Although it is the king of fish, it seems to be a little far from breaking the world record.

The largest of the world record marlin seems to be four meters three and weighs more than 1,400 catties.

Even if Zhang Ze uses the growth function, it is still a little worse.

In addition, there is a certain gap between the actual price of black-skinned tuna and bluefin tuna, and it does not feel very cost-effective with the growth function.

But he still used it, more than three hundred catties, such a large base is worth it, and his main purpose is not to sell fish and meat.

The bigger the more eye-catching, that's enough.

After getting one, Zhang Ze went to the cab to take a look at the fish finder, the bottom of the water was still red, and he couldn't see if there were any other big fish.

He thought about it and decided to keep trying.

But this time I don't need a small winch to fish, it's too strenuous, or the big winch is cool to use.

Take out the fishing line and tie it to the big winch, and the crane will not be needed.

No more than two tons of fish, a large winch is more than enough.

Tie a hook to a sinker, attach a copy of the marlin's bait, and throw it into the water.

Start the winch to let the bait sink quickly, and the next thing is to wait.

It takes a lot of time for a super-large fish like the black marlin to hunt and eat, and it took almost an hour just now, and the other two are still on the bottom.

Of course, Zhang Ze didn't know that there was still something underwater, he just tried.

Fortunately, the accidental collision and the stronger attraction of the exclusive bait made one of the black marlin, which happened to pass by and was almost full, turn around and swim towards the bait.

The speed of the outbreak was very fast, and the distance of more than twenty meters came in the blink of an eye.

The huge pull force drove the winch on the spot, and Zhang Ze naturally noticed such an obvious movement, and he quickly started the winch to fish.

This time it was different from just now, the pull of the big winch was very strong, although the speed was not fast, but it firmly grasped the black marlin at the bottom of the water.

But there is also a risk of this, that is, the strength of the fish is not exhausted, and it is easy to struggle and hurt people.

So Zhang Ze brought the javelin, if this one is a little smaller, then kill it directly, and sell it on this return voyage.

Anyway, there is already one in space, and there is no need for a second one.

In just ten minutes, a huge black marlin suddenly rushed out of the water, jumped out of its body and twisted its body and head frantically, trying to spit out the hook.

But it's already on the surface, it's too late.

The hook did loosen a bit, but the taut line also prevented it from jumping a second time.

Estimating the size of the fish, Zhang Ze was surprised to find that it was even bigger than just now.

This made him hesitate with the javelin, and he felt that such a big kill was a bit of a waste!

Even if you want to sell it this time, you can make a lot more money by growing it.

Experience points are rich and don't need to pay extra.

The hook completely penetrated the lower jaw of the fish, and it seemed that it was very firm and could not fall out, so Zhang Ze simply let the winch continue to work and pull the fish up first.

Soon, the long beak of the fish was pressed against the hull, but there was no danger.

They can penetrate the hull of the ship by rushing up at a speed, so I am afraid that they will not even leave a mark.

As the line continues to retract, the fish's body stands up, and its long beak begins to face upwards.

The fish seems to be honest at the moment, but perhaps its huge body has become cumbersome and clumsy when it comes out of the water.

Zhang Ze, who was standing far away, approached cautiously, and when the fish's long beak had all exceeded the side of the boat, he hurriedly bent over and touched the fish's throat.

"Whoosh~"

The fish disappeared, and Zhang Ze also breathed a sigh of relief.

[Successfully caught a black marlin, weighing 1256.78 catties, experience (king of fish) +12000]

Seeing the data of the fish, Zhang Ze's eyes lit up, and his visual inspection was indeed accurate, indeed much larger than the first one.

And the one that immediately surpassed the world record after using the growth function can eventually reach more than 1,630 catties.

This is the theoretical limit weight of the black marlin, but Zhang Ze has never seen such a large amount from the record.

There are some reports, but the veracity of them is questionable.

Many editors will tamper with the news and report untrue information for the sake of traffic.

Zhang Ze was satisfied tonight, although he hung up another bait, but he felt that there should be no big fish.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while and there were no fish, he put away the bait and took a bag to cover the winch and the line and hook.

At present, this big winch is also used for fishing, and it is better to stay on it for the trouble of changing the fishing line.

Without the idea of continuing to fish for hairtail, Zhang Ze went back to wash and sleep, and rested a little this morning.

The night was peaceful, but when he woke up again, he was shaken awake.

It seemed to be dark outside, and Zhang Ze looked at the alarm clock and realized that it was half past six in the morning.

He took his clothes and put them on as he ran out of the room to start the fishing boat, and when he encountered a storm at sea, he had to set sail quickly to find a safe place.

It took time for the engine to warm up, and he didn't immediately retract the anchor.

The anchor will make the fishing boat a little more stable, and it will not be too late to retract it when it is opened.

After a short while, the engine was warmed up, and Zhang Ze took back the anchor and started the fishing boat at the same time.

Don't panic in stormy weather, open the waves, and try to stay away from the center of the storm.

Fortunately, it is winter, and there will be no typhoon in the domestic waters, but if there is a storm, the ship will basically not have an accident.

After more than an hour at sea, the storm deflected, and the fishing boat naturally went out of its range.

But even if it weren't for the storm, the weather didn't seem to be good today.

Zhang Ze continued to sail and found that the wind and waves were still very strong, and white foam appeared on the sea.

The weather is not ideal for fishing, but it is a great opportunity.

Unsuitable for fishing refers to the danger of boat fishing and the fact that the current in the sea can easily take away the bait.

However, the wind blows the water surface to produce water convection, which will make the negative oxygen water and various foods on the surface of the entire water body flow to the lower layer, and the big fish will also run to the bottom to feed, so this will be a good time to fish for deep-sea fish.

Big fish came out of the wind and waves, no, Zhang Ze found a few red dots moving quickly under the water through the fish finder.

The speed and trajectory of this movement alone made him guess that it was a tuna.

There are indeed a lot of small fish under the fish finder screen, and it is clear that these foods attract them.

It seems that there is indeed tuna here, and if you want to fish for tuna in the future, you can really come here.

This bit of wind and waves is not a problem for the Multifish, it has a high level of wind and wave resistance, as long as it does not stay under the storm just now, there will be no problem.

Zhang Ze stopped the boat and lowered the anchor, and then walked out of the wheelhouse to the stern, the bag was tied tightly, and it was not blown away by the wind, but it was blown out.

But it's not a big problem, and it's okay if the hook is caught in the rain.
