Chapter 287
Zhao Ping turned around and planned to return to the driver’s seat, but the next moment he heard Zhao Qin exclaim, “Fuck you.”
He turned around and was about to ask, when he saw a fish hanging on the net. No, it should be said to be half a fish. The head of the fish was a small part of the body, and the lower part was bitten by something.
Thinking about the hole in the net that was torn just now, Zhao Qin cursed: “Fuck him, it must be that big fish who did it again and tore our net.”
Zhao Ping was also extremely depressed. Damn it, as a fisherman, this was the first time he was played by a fish.
Fortunately, the harvest of these first two nets was good. Although it was not as dense as the sole fish and pomfret before, the goods that came up were all good and worth some money, which barely soothed their souls.
As a result, as soon as the third net was brought up, half of the fish appeared again, and a big hole was pierced in the net again.
Now even Ah He couldn’t help but curse, while Zhao Qin glanced at the distant sea. At this moment, he was so looking forward to the arrival of the tiger to teach the big fish below a lesson.
Suddenly, the load of the winch seemed to increase again, and Zhao Qin also felt that the net in his hand seemed to be shaking.
This time it was different from just now. Just now, the windlass was heavy, and then relaxed again. This time, it was still heavy. Zhao Qin was overjoyed. It seemed that the fish had hit the net again.
The section of net that was pulled up again had been torn into pieces. In some places, no trace of the sticky net at the bottom was left, leaving only a row of thick nylon ropes on top.
“Ahe, look at the water.”
Because the net was so damaged, Ahe didn’t need to untie the fish. He was dazed there. When he heard Zhao Qin’s words, he quickly stood next to the windlass on the bow of the ship and looked at the sea surface where the net was being netted.
The next moment, he suddenly exclaimed, “Brother, come up, that big guy is really entangled in the net.”
Zhao Qin’s hands were shaking with excitement, and he pulled the net hard, trying to pull it up as soon as possible.
Zhao Ping couldn’t hear clearly what A He was saying, but he could see him jumping up and down on the bow of the boat with excitement on his face. He couldn’t help but go to the bow of the boat, just in time to see the fish slowly emerging from the water.
“Ah Chen, come here to help. Ah Qin, stop for a moment. The winch is stuck. You have to use manpower to pull it.”
Zhao Qin took the net off the winch and hung it on the fixed hook on the side of the ship. He also ran to the bow to help. However, he couldn’t squeeze in at all and could only stand aside and watch.
The fish was still struggling, and everyone looked serious, fearing that this guy would use some strange force at this time to tear the net and escape.
Gradually emerging from the water, Zhao Qin hurriedly turned around to get the hook, then handed the hook to his elder brother, first hanging the big fish’s gills, which could reduce the pressure on the fishing net.
No matter how ferocious the prey is, it cannot escape the hands of the hunter. Finally, with the concerted efforts of the three of them, the fish was dragged to the deck.
“Oh my God, it looks like a big fat pig. Ah Chen, have you ever seen such a big fish?” Ah He exaggeratedly patted the fish’s back twice and laughed.
Ah Chen was also grinning, shaking his head while laughing.
Zhao Qin came closer and looked at the fish’s mouth that opened wide from time to time. It was so big that his own head could fit inside.
Zhao Ping was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. The reason why he was able to catch this big fish was because the fish kept crashing into the nearby waters and hung two nets in a row. Then he struggled with tearing and tearing, and the net became more and more entangled. Come more and more,
Now it can be said that it has three layers inside and three layers outside. Otherwise, this fish would not be able to get up at all.
The big fish was naturally happy, but nearly three nets were lost because of this one fish!
“Brother, I estimate it weighs 150 pounds, right?”
“almost.”
“Damn, you dare to eat our harvest because of your big body. It’s not that easy to lick the edge of the knife.” Zhao Qin laughed, I really think I can’t do anything with you, right?
“Brother, is such a big thing worth a lot of money?” Ahe also leaned over and asked.
“It should be okay, but don’t expect to sell it for the same price as the yellow-lipped fish. I guess it can be sold for more than 10,000.”
The four people talked around the big fish, and their excitement was palpable. Regardless of whether it was worth the money or not, catching such a big fish would give them a sense of accomplishment.
After a while, Zhao Qin said: “Okay, let’s continue working. We will know how much we can sell for landing. First, untie the net and carry the fish into the cabin.”
Untying the net was also quite troublesome, mainly because it was too big. Zhao Ping wanted to untie it layer by layer. Zhao Qin shook his head and said, “Brother, the net is useless. Just cut it open with a knife.”
Zhao Ping glanced at the tangled net, turned around, found a pair of scissors from the tool box, and cut the net directly.
After the net was opened, Zhao Qin took out the rainproof cloth and spread it on the deck, and moved the fish onto the cloth. With the cooperation of Achen and Ahe, the three of them each pulled a corner of the cloth and moved the fish into the cabin.
“Okay, let’s go fishing with the longline.”
Wuzhang.com actually collected it for an hour or so. It was already past four o’clock at this time. Fortunately, tomorrowWe can’t go out to the sea, so we’ll have to wait a little later today.
When they arrived at the Cave Island, they saw a fishing boat nearby. The three of them looked at each other and saw worry in each other’s eyes.
Fortunately, the fishing boat seemed to be trawling, and I saw the longline buoy, so it didn’t get too close to the island and quickly changed the area.
Only then did Zhao Qin and the others approached and began to reel in the longline for fishing. Although there was a system luck bonus, it was still difficult to disobey the natural phenomenon.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the income from longline fishing is decreasing day by day. Today’s four basket fishing rigs with 200 hooks combined only caught 19 fish. Fortunately, I received two large yellow croakers.
They all weigh around two kilograms, which raises the entire value.
Due to the journey on the road and the time spent collecting the hook, it was already half past six, and it would be completely dark in half an hour. Moreover, the wind and waves seemed to have increased by now, and the four of them were a little anxious.
“Brother, regardless of whether we harvest something or not, let’s collect the net and go back. We can untie it slowly at the dock.”
“That’s all we can do. The wind is getting stronger. It’s not safe to let it continue.”
The two brothers agreed, and when they reached the direction of the lobster island, Zhao Qin started to close the net. As a result, the net end was filled with fish, and they were as densely packed with fish as the last time, and everything was hanging on the mesh.
The only difference is that the sole fish caught last time was brown, but this time it is actually red.
“Brother, they all seem to be dragon-headed fish.” The light was fading, and Zhao Qin couldn’t see clearly, but he looked long and narrow, almost the same shape as the dragon-headed fish.
“Don’t worry about the fish, just collect it first.”
The dragonhead fish is very cheap, only 35 yuan per catty, but today we have a big dragonfish, which is a guarantee, so Zhao Ping is not disappointed.
“Brother, it’s not a dragon-headed fish. Hey, what kind of fish is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
When Zhao Ping heard what he said, he jumped off the bridge and took a look. The next moment he said excitedly: “The red ribbon fish is much more valuable than the dragonhead fish.”
“There are also red hairtail fish?” Zhao Qin was a little confused. This was the first time he heard about it.
“Brother, it looks very similar to a saury. The head is round instead of pointed.” Ah He also picked out a closer look. The fish was too dense and there was no way to get rid of it. All he and Ah Chen had to do now was to close the net. , just don’t twist them together.
“Brother, how much does this fish cost per pound?”
Zhao Qin felt that the fish was red and would definitely not be cheap, but after asking twice, his elder brother couldn’t hear him, so he had to shut up.
Red hairtail fish is of good quality now, and the local price should be around 80 per pound.
