Chapter 220
Following Zhao Qin’s shout, Zhao Ping and Ah He also looked in the direction of his finger. Because they were still far away, they couldn’t see clearly either.
But those two white spots should be the floating balls tied to both sides.
“Did a killer whale do it?” Being able to pull a basket of hooks is not something that a small fish can do, Zhao Ping asked doubtfully.
“Brother, we won’t get Huzi hooked, will we?” Ahe’s tone was urgent. Huzi was their benefactor. If his hook hurt the other party, it would be like repaying kindness with enmity.
Zhao Qin was originally excited about the big fish, but now he couldn’t help but worry when he heard what the two said.
“It’s not a tiger. The tiger won’t be that close to the island. The hook is also dragging to the deep sea.” Zhao Ping rejected his previous guess.
Zhao Qin didn’t say a word from beginning to end. He had already driven the boat slowly over.
“Brother, I’ll come.” Zhao Qin said and was about to jump off the bridge.
“You drive the boat and I’ll do it. Don’t worry, if something goes wrong, I’ll let go.” Zhao Ping looked solemn. There were too many unknown dangers on the sea, and no one could guarantee what was underneath.
Zhao Ping threw out the salvage hook, first hooked up one end of the float, and then pulled it along the float. At first, there was no resistance at all, and the hooks were all empty.
Most of the bait hung above was also intact. They must have been dragged here shortly after setting the hook.
When he pulled it to a third of the way, Zhao Ping felt the weight. “I don’t know if it’s stuck, or if the fish underneath is too big and I can’t pull it easily.”
Just as Ah He was about to help, Zhao Ping said overjoyed again, “It’s a fish or not hanging on the bottom, the line shook a little.”
Because of this shaking, Zhao Ping was able to pull the thread again, but it was very difficult. Ah He came to help, and the two of them exerted force at the same time, and then they could barely reel in the thread normally.
“Brother, your fishing rod.” Ah He shouted with joy.
Zhao Qin simply anchored the boat and came over, just in time to see the fishing rod that was towed away yesterday. Oh my God, how powerful this fish was. It dragged the fishing rod all the way from the fishing place to here.
Although only the tail section of the pole is left, I can still recognize it as the one that fell yesterday.
“Brother, how far is it from where we fished yesterday?”
“It’s been around four or five seas. Tsk tsk. This fishing rod was broken several times. Ah Qin, where did you buy this line? It’s so strong.”
Zhao Qin was also secretly lucky. If it weren’t for the system’s cable, it would have been torn off at this moment.
As we approached the middle of the basket line, we found that we had also caught two fish, both of which were Shijiugong. It must have been because the line was pulled here and the other party bit the hook. They are a very greedy fish.
“Aqin, please be careful about reeling in the fishing rod’s line, while Ahe and I reel in the basket hook first.”
The two threads were entangled for more than ten meters and then separated. One thread was pulled straight. Zhao Qin pulled the thread back hard. It felt the same as yesterday, like he was pulling a stone.
Occasionally, I can feel the slight exertion of the fish, which is not strong. This is easy to understand. This fish is not dead yet, and it is already considered very good.
“Brother, give me a hand, I can’t pull it anymore.”
Zhao Ping had no choice but to give up his plan of sorting out the hooks and let Ah He put the basket hook up first, while he helped Zhao Qin pull the fish.
The two of them stretched the nearly 100-meter line for about ten minutes. Their arms were shaking and they were sweating profusely. Finally, a pale yellow figure slowly emerged from the bottom of the sea.
“Such a big yellow croaker?” Zhao Qin was stunned. How many kilograms does it weigh?
“It’s not a big yellow croaker, it’s a yellow-lipped fish, and it’s not cheaper than a big yellow croaker.” Zhao Ping said with trembling lips when the fish completely lost its strength and floated on the sea.
The three of them were in a daze for a moment. Zhao Qin and Ah He had never seen such a big fish, a fish longer than themselves. Anyone who saw it at first sight would be shocked. Zhao Ping was shocked by the fish. precious.
“Brother, how do you get it on the boat?” It took a while for Zhao Qin to realize that the fish was not on the boat yet. He couldn’t be 100% sure that it was his.
If it releases another wave of power at this time, the three of them will have nothing to do with it.
“Yes, yes, yes, we must seize the time to get on the boat.” Zhao Ping said, and then circled around the boat, getting more and more anxious and chaotic. There was no good way for a while. The fish would definitely not be caught by the net.
“How about I go down and see if I can lift it up?” Zhao Qin suggested a way.
“No!” Zhao Ping and Ah He said in unison. If the fish suddenly exerted force, it could seriously injure people with its tail. It would be too dangerous.
“Brother, use a rope to tie and make a circle. One person will tie the head and the other will tie the tail.” Ah He is getting smarter and smarter.
“Yes, yes, this is a good method.” Zhao Ping said, taking the rope, tying two slip knots, handing one end to Ah He, and holding the other himself, “Aqin, be careful, see if you can pull it closer. ”
Zhao Qin had been holding the thread in his hand and he didn’t dare to let go. At this moment, he carefully headed towards the boat.Side pull.
The big fish was at the end of its fight, and its gills were still opening and closing from time to time, but there was no other struggle.
When both sides were locked, Zhao Ping took a deep breath and said to Ahe: “I count one, two, three, and we both push hard at the same time.”
Zhao Qin saw that the two of them tried once but still couldn’t do it, so he simply tied the fishing line to the hook next to him, jumped into the water before the two of them could react, and emerged from the other end of the fish in a moment.
He said to the two of them: “I’ll help you in the middle, otherwise you two won’t be able to pull together. Come on, let’s work together.”
The two of them had no intention of accusing him anymore. Zhao Qin found that his feet were empty and he couldn’t use any strength at all. With a thought, he directly put his hands on the boat clapper and pressed his head against the middle of the fish.
Sure enough, it worked this time, and the three of them worked together to finally get the fish to the deck.
“Come up quickly.” Zhao Ping stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Qin onto the boat before he could see the fish.
The three of them watched the fish for a long time, and all of them had overjoyed expressions on their faces. Zhao Qin suddenly thought about it and took out his phone and opened the convenience bag. Thinking about the pixels of the phone, he put the phone back in it.
He took down the surveillance camera fixed on the top of the cabin and stared at the big fish for a moment. Then he handed the camera to Ahe and said, “Help me take the picture.”
Then he lay down next to the big fish. Only when he lay down did he really feel how big the fish was, because it was really longer than him.
“Brother, I want it too.” Seeing him get up, Ah He handed the camera to him and lay down next to the fish.
Zhao Qin looked at this picture and couldn’t help but twitch on his face. Ah He was less than 1.7 meters tall and extremely thin. He couldn’t even see it when he was lying next to the big fish.
“Well, Ah Qin, help me take a video too.” Zhao Ping felt itchy, and when he saw Ah He getting up, he lay down again.
The three of them took photos with the big fish one by one, and then looked around the fish carefully.
So big!
This fish is more than two meters long and at least 70 to 80 centimeters wide. The back of the body is brown and the ventral side is grey-yellow. Each fin has darker pigment and is gray-black. There is a round shape under the armpit of the pectoral fin. dark spots.
Yellow-lipped fish is a unique fish species in the South my country Sea, also known as golden croaker. I heard that the taste of the fish meat is not very good, not as good as that of large yellow croaker, but its isinglass is expensive!
The complete picture cannot be taken. The yellow-lipped fish is very similar to the large yellow croaker, and the two species are close relatives.
“Brother, this must weigh one hundred twenty or thirty pounds, right?”
“More than that, it must be over 150 pounds.”
Zhao Qin exclaimed again: “No wonder such a powerful force dragged us both out of the sea yesterday.”
“Don’t look at it now. Let’s go into the cold storage while it’s still alive. Ah Qin, this fish is too valuable. We can’t delay. Hurry up and put away the line hook and ground cage. Let’s go home.”
It is now past two o’clock. It is unrealistic for this fish to return to the harbor alone and come out again. And it will be windy tomorrow, so it is impossible to put the ground cage and basket hook into the sea.
