Chapter 637
Gene was driving the boat, and Zhao Qin did not go to the wheelhouse to join in the fun this time.
When the sea area became wider, he put the pole on the railing beside the boat, then let out the line two or three hundred meters and began to check the line bit by bit.
Although it was a system, just like the net rewarded by the system, it would also be damaged.
After checking it out and finding no problem, he began to boil water and make tea.
This time the driving time was a little shorter, and the speed of the boat dropped in less than two hours. Gene notified that it was time to cast the hook.
Zhao Qin looked out at the sea and found two boats in the distance.
Gene walked up to him, “This sea area has always been a star venue. Many fishing boats gather here every year at the beginning of the season. I guess many of them went to the south today.”
Zhao Qin nodded, took a sip of tea first, and then slowly put the bait on the hook.
The process was roughly the same as yesterday. He borrowed Gene’s lure rod and started fishing for mackerel.
There is really no technical content in fishing this kind of fish. As long as you put the hook down, there will be fish to eat. It feels like the whole sea is full of these fish, waiting to be fed.
He caught more than ten fish in a short while. The reason why he caught a few more fish was that he planned to take them back and make a crispy mackerel dish in the evening. They had to go back early tonight because Wu Shuigen’s family was coming to visit.
“Jin, how many children do you have?” Zhao Qin chatted with Jin because he was bored waiting, and of course Xiao Zeng was indispensable as a messenger.
“Four, the oldest is fifteen years old this year, and the youngest is two years old. Except for the third child who is a daughter, the other three are all bad boys.” Jin had a happy smile on his face, but it turned into distress in a moment.
“Oh, then you are under a lot of pressure.”
Gene’s face was more bitter, “Who said it wasn’t? My eldest son will be sixteen soon. I promised to give him a car on his birthday…”
The concepts of parents here are not that different from those in China. If conditions permit, they also want to give their children better.
As for some people saying that parents here don’t buy houses for their children, this is a bit too one-sided. It’s just not as common as in China. More importantly, mothers-in-law here don’t regard houses as the first standard.
“Then you don’t have any other plans?”
“What plans can I have! My parents divorced when I was a child, and my father was an alcoholic. I barely finished the eighth grade, and then I started to support myself.
I have been looking for money in the sea since I was a child, and I have been doing it for half my life.”
Zhao Qin changed the subject and asked, “Do you have a good relationship with that Qiao Xi?”
“No, Qiao Xi’s friends only have money, and we are just his tools to make money.” Gene said a lot more, which probably means that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Yu Fake was listening on the side, and he probably understood Zhao Qin’s idea a little bit. He was about to interrupt when the next moment, the fishing rod next to him made a buzzing sound of line coming out.
“Ah Qin, you… Shit, it’s my rod that caught a fish.” Yu Fake instinctively thought that Zhao Qin had caught a fish. After a closer look, he found that it was his own fishing rod, and he jumped up in excitement.
Everyone was naturally happy when they caught a fish. Tim and Gene both cheered loudly.
Yu Fake’s rod was equipped with an electric reel. After Gene put on gloves, he stood aside to help pull the line manually. Zhao Qin found a pot and filled some water and handed it to Yu Fake, asking him to pour it on the electric reel to cool it down.
After a long stalemate, the electric reel seemed to be reeling in the line, but in fact, it was releasing more line, and the sound it made also confirmed that the load was a bit heavy.
“Yu, it must be a tuna, and it’s quite strong. Haha, it’s rich.” Gene said excitedly while helping to reel in the line.
Yu Fa Ke was also very excited. He watched Zhao Qin fishing like crazy yesterday, but he didn’t expect that he would be the first to open the business today.
Well, Zhao Qin caught four fish yesterday, which was not a big deal. Look, I caught five fish today.
He was very excited after catching a fish, and his goal was a bit vague.
He caught a fish yesterday, so the real-time luck value today had little impact. Zhao Qin didn’t open the system to check. At this moment, he opened the system while reeling in his fishing rod.
The system’s luck value today was neither good nor bad, 43 points, and the arrow that originally indicated the direction was not pointing to any direction, but was circling.
What the hell?
But after a moment, he guessed a possibility. It should be that the real-time luck value today fell in the sea area of his hometown, which was too far away, so the system did not give clear instructions.
He turned off the system and planned to reel in his line quickly. The next moment, the power in his hand stagnated, and the tip of his rod suddenly bent down.
“It’s over, they must have gotten tangled.” Zhao Qin was a little depressed. A Ke had finally caught a fish, and if he got tangled up in the line and ran away, it would be too unfair to him.
“Oh, Zhao also caught a fish, haha, it’s a good harvest early in the morning.” Gene looked at Zhao Qin’sThe tip of the rod shouted excitedly, it seems that today’s harvest will not be less than yesterday.
Zhao Qin also looked into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. It was not tangled. Although the two people caught fish in the same direction, it was obvious that there was still some distance between them.
However, there were fish on both lines next, and the possibility of tangling was greatly increased.
He took his rod out of the ring, held the rod and turned in a direction, trying not to let the two fish intersect.
He exerted all his strength to compete with the fish, but after a while he felt something was wrong. It seemed that he was not catching a tuna.
As I said yesterday, the opponent’s force was not so strong, and he kept a relative pulling force.
He was thinking, about a hundred meters away, the fish caught by Yu Fa Ke began to wash its gills. It looked big, and it should be four or five hundred kilograms.
After determining the fish species, everyone became more and more excited.
Almost ten minutes later, Yu Fa Ke’s fish was accurately hit by the harpoon thrown by Gene, and the tail rope was put on and the job was done.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Zhao Qin again.
“Don’t look, it’s not tuna.” Zhao Qin said with a wry smile. Although he didn’t see the fish, he was at least 80% sure it wasn’t.
All fish have signs of exerting force. For example, yellowfin bream will deviate after being caught. Another example is grouper, which reacts very slowly and doesn’t exert much force at the beginning. It feels like it has caught a stone.
After fishing a lot, you will have experience. Just by the feel of pulling the line, you can judge it.
“Zhao, it’s a thresher shark, cut the line quickly.” When the fish was pulled closer, Gene finally saw its true form and roared nervously.
“Can’t this fish be eaten?” Yu Fa Ke was a little puzzled.
“You can eat it. Among sharks, the thresher shark tastes the best, but its tail is very powerful and too dangerous.” Gene said as he was about to step forward, and he had already taken out a small knife in his hand.
“Don’t come over.” Zhao Qin shouted. Although the English he used was poor, it didn’t prevent him from understanding it.
Not only did he not allow them to come, he also drove everyone into the wheelhouse. Only Gene was unwilling to stay and help him.
Zhao Qin hesitated. He only prepared one sub-line. If he cut it, he could only use the one bought in the market, and then the system would be greatly discounted when granting the luck bonus.
Although there was only one hook, he could take it out of the system when everyone was not paying attention, but the sub-line would be difficult to get.
And although there was a certain danger, it was not as exaggerated as Gene described, so he still wanted to try to subdue this big guy.
When he pulled the fish close, he suddenly had an idea and shouted to the big fish that was tumbling: “Don’t move, I will take off the hook and let you go.”
