After lunch, the group seemed to have nothing to do, because they did not go to the fishing ground, noon to five o'clock in the afternoon is not a good time for fishing, everyone can only sit together to drink tea and chat to pass the time.

Now the speed of the "Gulf" is maintained at 15 knots, which is neither fast nor slow, because there is a deputy captain and sailors in charge of sailing, and the captain Liu Changfu also comes to chat with everyone and tell some interesting stories about the sea.

"Looking at the appearance of several gentlemen, they rarely go to sea by boat, and fortunately they don't get seasick, otherwise the taste will be uncomfortable!" Liu Changfu saw that several people were in good spirits, sitting under the parasol as if they were in the living room at home, and he said, "I remember the first time I got on the boat at the age of nineteen and went to sea, I was so seasick and dizzy that I couldn't eat for several days, but I couldn't eat if I didn't eat, I vomited when I ate, and I had to eat if I vomited......

"How can such a stable ship be dizzy?" The Phantom Lion King looked disdainful, if this is all seasick, then when the imperial envoy's flying sword fights with people in the air, then he can't help but spit and fight at the same time? Thinking about this scene, he couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, there's tuna!" Liu Changfu turned his head to look at the sea, and suddenly shouted, and several people looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that not far from the yacht, on the sparkling sea in the sun, several big fish of more than one meter and nearly two meters were flying across the sea at an astonishingly fast speed.

"It's tuna, let's go, let's go trolling at the stern!" Liu Changfu stood up and walked to the cockpit, he was going to inform the deputy captain of the boat, Ah Huan, to reduce the speed of the boat.

If it is too fast, the hook will not be able to hang the bait if it exceeds 10 knots per hour, and the bait will be unhooked due to the resistance of the waves, and the swimming speed of some fish cannot keep up with the speed of the boat.

Tuna, on the other hand, are too fast, often reaching speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour, and are very agile, so the best speed for trolling tuna is seven to eight knots.

After a while, Liu Changfu led everyone to the stern of the boat and took out the fishing tackle that had been prepared long ago. Boat trolling is a recreational activity invented by the crew and passengers to relieve boredom during the boat, so there is trolling tackle ready on this boat at all times.

Liu Changfu inserted two heavy fishing rods into the socket at the back of the boat, and Xie Mingzhou and the others looked at the rear expectantly. Gradually, a flock of seabirds appeared in the sky above the sight, circling and diving.

This is a sign that there is food, and there must be schools of fish underneath the sea, and it is very likely that the fish that appear on the surface of the sea are tuna hunting underwater.

The Bay turned around and sped away towards the school of fish behind it.

At this time, the four fishing rods were ready, and Liu Changfu threw the bait into the distance. The bait is a large squid imitation, which is his experience, and he believes that this type of bait is most effective against tuna.

Of course, Xie Mingzhou and others will not doubt his authority, for them who have never been to sea, Liu Changfu's more than 20 years of maritime career is definitely qualified to boast.

The tentacles of the simulated squid hide a sparkling palm-wide hook, and the reel is also exaggeratedly large, with a diameter of more than a millimeter of line stored for more than a kilometer, and the thick boat rod makes people feel very solid and safe.

Liu Changfu skillfully laid out the wire and adjusted the deflection of the reel, and when several fishing rods were firmly fixed to the socket at the stern, he had time to make some explanations to Xie Mingzhou and the others.

"Tuna is one of the fastest swimming marine animals, and unlike most fish, it is cold-blooded, and its body temperature is higher than the water temperature, showing some warm-blooded characteristics. ”

"The gill muscles of tuna are degenerate, so they have to swim constantly, relying on the sea water to get oxygen through their gills, and if they stop, they will suffocate from lack of oxygen and die. So for the rest of its life, it can only continue to swim at high speed, even at night, without rest, but only slows down the swimming speed and lowers metabolism. ”

"Because it needs to swim constantly to keep breathing, it is natural to have good muscle and fat when you exercise a lot, so it can be a good seafood. ”

"Its weakness is also evident, because in order to replenish the energy expended by its swimming and vigorous metabolism, it must eat non-stop...... Tuna are gluttonous. ”

Xie Mingzhou and the others did not speak, everyone stared intently at the fishing rod, and Liu Changfu began to prepare the large net and hook in an orderly manner.

Through the clear water, you can see that the small fish under the water are showing the panic of being chased, and the seabirds are still swooping, and there are signs that the target is at your feet.

It took only two minutes for the "Bay" to break out of the school of fish, which was obviously not large. In the first round, there was nothing to be found, and the boat's co-captain, Ah Huan, reoriented the yacht and rushed into the fish again.

This time he slightly increased the speed of the yacht, he tried to use different speeds to tease the tuna's interest in the lure and chase, trying different speeds and lure swimming style are two important parts of trolling, so an experienced captain is often the key to successful trolling.

The third time I passed over the fish, I finally saw the phenomenon of the bait being attacked, and a fishing rod bent down without warning, and then the reel let out a sharp hiss, and the amount of line came out in just a moment to exceed 50 meters!

Sailor Ah Biao hurriedly stepped forward and tried to put away the fishing line, but the fishing rod bounced back again, and the fish had already unhooked!

"It's definitely a big fish! I can already feel its strength, it's fierce!" Ah Biao exclaimed with a little pity in his excitement.

The first fish ran away like this, but everyone's confidence rose, Ah Biao seized the time to adjust the fishing tackle, and the yacht went around in a big circle and plunged into the fish.

Ah Huan controls the yacht's speed steadily, and obviously he has enough experience in trolling among the fish.

Good luck came again, and it didn't take long for another fishing rod to bend down, and the reel began to fly out of the line, making a sharp hiss, Liu Changfu hurriedly lifted the fishing rod and pumped it violently, which was to prevent the fish from being hooked.

He began to readjust the reel, and Ah Huan hurriedly put away the other fishing rods, in order to prevent the fishing lines from becoming entangled with each other, and to make enough space for Liu Changfu to walk the fish, the speed of the boat has slowed down, relieving the load of the fishing line and the amount of the line.

"This feeling of pulling is really exciting!" Liu Changfu shouted, and the Phantom Lion King stepped forward to help him, but he refused: "I like the feeling of walking the fish! I will definitely be able to pull it up, and I will not let it slip away again." ”

He supported the side of the boat with his left hand, so that he could barely raise the rod, and the large tuna could pull more than 500 meters of line from the angler's hand with a single charge.

Ah Huan hurriedly turned the yacht around, increased the horsepower and went parallel to the escaped big fish, otherwise he would be unhooked by the crazy fish or pull off the fishing line and escape.
