Chapter 130： Mackerel

Chapter 130 Fighting the Mackerel

There were no big fish on the surface of the water layer, so Chu Mingcheng decided to dive deeper.

When he was about 17 meters underwater, his body didn't float like it was on the surface of the water layer, but sank automatically under the negative buoyancy of sea water.

When he came to a water depth of about 22 meters, he found traces of big fish.

So gently kick the flippers to keep yourself neutrally balanced and stay in this water layer.

The visibility of this water layer is not as high as that of the upper layer, only about ten meters long, a little cloudy, and the color is a little greenish.

At this time, several big fish came swimming from the south, and Chu Mingcheng raised his spear gun to prepare.

Perhaps because the water was too clear, the fish suddenly turned around and swam away ten meters away from him.

Chu Mingcheng checked his diving time, and after only a minute, he chased after him.

But the fish was getting farther and farther away from him, and he was not sure of hitting it, so he had to change his target.

Because another fish was approaching him.

Chu Mingcheng was not going to wait for it to swim close this time, so he raised his speargun to aim.

The lens, speargun and its own position all follow the fish rotation,

With a bang, he successfully hit a fish more than ten meters away for the first time.

The frequency of the fish's tail flicking at this moment reached its fishy peak, and it quickly went downstream.

Chu Mingcheng locked the fishing boat so that the fish could not go farther, and then he just pulled the line and swam towards the surface of the water.

surfaced, but was shocked to find that the boat was only tens of meters away from him.

Jiang Luoluo on the boat saw him, waved to him and shouted: "Did you catch the fish?"

"Hit, a horse mackerel!"

"You are amazing, you hit a fish in such a short time, awesome!"

Chu Mingcheng twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly understood the meaning of cheerleading.

Then he pulled the line back little by little, and the fish had stopped moving. After seeing it clearly, Chu Mingcheng realized that he had just shot it in the head.

No wonder there was no resistance at all when it was pulled up.

If you just hit it, it may let you know that it may not be in your pocket.

Just pulling it closer, the fish suddenly swung its tail and swam out again. Chu Mingcheng didn't notice that it broke free for a while, and after he realized it, he quickly pulled the fishing line again.

He also didn't expect that the fish could still struggle twice after being shot in the head. No wonder the fish with all its guts removed could still jump around in the oil pan.

This is a rice-level mackerel, which is not easy to carry around, and the boat is also close, so Chu Mingcheng swam to the side of the boat and handed the fish to Jiang Luoluo.

"This horse shark is really big!"

Jiang Luoluo took the fish and gasped in admiration.

Since getting acquainted with Chu Mingcheng, she found that the big fish that she would be surprised by are almost rare now.

Removed the fish arrow, put the fish in the fish box to freeze, washed her hands, then went to the fishing rod and waited for the fish to take the bait, while observing the movements of Chu Mingcheng.

Backing into the water, Chu Mingcheng dived directly to a depth of more than 20 meters.

There are still some big mackerel underneath. To deal with this kind of fast fish, it is impossible to catch up with them.

Instead, you need a stable mind and super endurance, waiting in the water for the fish to come by themselves.

And what needs to be done is

There was another bang, and the fish arrow penetrated the fish.

All that needs to be done is to deliver the fatal blow at the most critical moment, which is the main reason why slow players beat fast players.

This time, it only took him a minute and a half before he returned to the surface of the water again.

The spine of the fish was stabbed, so the fish only struggled a few times before being easily pulled back by him to grab the tail.

"So fast?" Jiang Luoluo was a little stunned.

"It's about the same. When there are many fish, you can basically catch a fish within two minutes."

"Emmm, take it easy and don't kill all the fish." Jiang Luoluo complained speechlessly.

Chu Mingcheng laughed when he heard the words: "Even if I fish and hunt to death, the number of fish I catch is probably not as many as others!"

Jiang Luoluo nodded in agreement: "That's true, go quickly, catch more fish and make more money!"

Chu Mingcheng laughed, and then returned to the water again.

This time he found a very good horse mackerel, which was very big, but it kept swimming fifteen meters away from him, with only a vague figure, which made Chu Mingcheng dare not act rashly.

It was not until three minutes later that it finally got a little closer. Chu Mingcheng grasped the movement of the fish and decisively pressed the trigger.

The fish arrow pierced into its fish body in an instant, and pierced out from the other side.

Today's hit rate is quite high, and he hit three times in a row, which surprised him a little.

It's just that when he wanted to swim to the surface, the resistance of this horse shark was unprecedented.

Chu Mingcheng hastily released the line, because the location of the hit was not very good, and it hit the abdomen.

If you fight the fish with all your strength, the fish will tear its belly to shreds during the desperate process, and then the fish arrow will be shaken off.

Therefore, when Chu Mingcheng exerted force, he could only choose to gently pull the fishing line, and then let the line inside the fishing reel be pulled out.

When it got tired and stopped, it dared to pull the thread to recycle.

Two minutes later, he emerged from the water, but the 40-meter Dalima line inside the fishing boat was completely shuttled.

The only good news is that the injured fish struggled less and less as their lives passed.

Chu Mingcheng seized the opportunity and began to reel in the thread, basically pulling the thread for several meters before he resisted and struggled a little, until he was pulled close and caught by the tail.

This horse mackerel measures 1.5 meters. Its scientific name is Kang's horse mackerel, and the two caught before are also of this species.

Kang’s horse mackerel can grow to a maximum length of 2.4 meters. Meter-sized ones are very common in the group, and they are at least five catties in size.

It’s not like the blue-spotted horse mackerel, they are generally small in size, basically around two or three catties.

And the prices of the two kinds of mackerel are also very different.

Blue-spotted mackerel is only 20 yuan a catty at most, but Kang’s mackerel is very expensive, and rice-grade mackerel can sell for 60 yuan.

His 1.5 meter one can sell for 81 catties no problem, even if there is a small hole in the belly.

One of the reasons for the high price is that mackerel is a migratory fish. Every November to February is when they swim from the north to the south.

The mackerel at this time is also the most plump, so the price is naturally higher than in other seasons.

The second reason is that this one was caught by fishing and hunting. Like the horse mackerel caught in the mouth, it will be very fresh in the market.

It takes at least ten days for sea-caught mackerel to reach the market, and the freshness varies greatly.

If there are several places in Qiongzhou that catch mackerel, the price may be even higher.

Mackerel has a stronger fishy smell in seawater with higher salinity.

The mackerel caught in some places where the sea and freshwater meet is the best.

Therefore, it is also Kang’s horse mackerel, and the price produced in Qiongzhou is more expensive.

When Chu Mingcheng transported the mackerel to the stairs, Jiang Luoluo grabbed the fish tail with both hands and dragged it up.

After a day, there are rice-level big fish, and she finds that she is used to it now, and she is even numb.

Chu Mingcheng fished in the turbulent water for more than an hour before he felt exhausted and returned to the boat to prepare for a rest.

All the fish caught were Spanish mackerel, and there were no other fish suitable for hunting.

There was no room for the fish box, and he just caught ten fish in more than an hour, all of which were of rice grade.

Fortunately, there was enough crushed ice, so Jiang Luoluo directly put the fish on the front deck and spread the crushed ice on it.

Originally, she wanted to use a raincoat to cover it with sunscreen, but Chu Mingcheng knew that it would not keep warm.

Let him cover the quilt that he has not taken out to use, so as to lock in the temperature as much as possible and slow down the melting of the crushed ice.

This is a fish worth more than 10,000 yuan. It must be kept well. A new quilt worth several hundred is nothing.

It is now 2:16 in the afternoon, which is considered the hottest time of the day.

Chu Mingcheng felt that he could take Jiang Luoluo to dive for a while now. If he just swims in the water, he hardly exerts much effort, and he can be regarded as resting.

The reason why I feel tired is mainly due to the physical strength consumed when fighting with fish.

"Lolo, do you want to play diving? The time is just right."

"Now, let's forget it, you can rest more." You can dive anytime, but Jiang Luoluo doesn't want Chu Mingcheng to be tired.

Mainly she has been in the air force for more than an hour, and she also wants to catch a big fish in her heart!

"It's okay, I just teach you how to dive without any effort, let's go to a place with less current."

Chu Mingcheng didn't know what she was thinking, so he made the decision for her.

Take the boat to the relatively calm waters, which is only more than a thousand meters away from the place just now.

Seeing this, Jiang Luoluo had no choice but to go to the bedroom to change clothes.

After a while, she came out wearing a diving suit.

The diving suit she bought is a conservative type, the same as Chu Mingcheng's, covering the whole body.

Unlike some women's diving suits, it is exactly the same as dead reservoir water.

Even so, Jiang Luoluo's figure was fully exposed, and she had never worn such tight clothes before.

Facing Chu Mingcheng's eyes, she felt her secrets were exposed, and she felt uncomfortable.

No, the secret is indeed exposed.

After watching Jiang Luoluo's dance video, Chu Mingcheng has always had doubts in his heart.

Why she can jump up and down, but she is so normal when dancing.

But through the wetsuit, his doubts were resolved.

He can be sure that when Jiang Luoluo danced, he absolutely sealed his big baby.

"Hey, when do you want to see it?"

Seeing that Chu Mingcheng was sizing up his figure all the time, occasionally pausing at key positions, Jiang Luoluo felt a little embarrassed.

The diving suit doesn’t see through, so what’s so interesting about it!

"When can I see?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Mingcheng's soulful question made her speechless and didn't know how to reply.

“.”

"Haha, stop teasing you, tie the safety rope and let's dive."

Jiang Luoluo rolled his eyes, then obediently tied the safety rope, and followed to the stairs with the buoy in his hand.

Chu Mingcheng entered the water first, and waited quietly on the surface of the water.

She puts on a snorkel, mask and fins.

The counterweight belt is not worn, because the main function of the counterweight belt is to allow people to sink more easily.

Jiang Luoluo didn't practice Franzo, and because he was diving for fun, he didn't know how to dive deep, so there was no need to wear that.

After getting everything ready, she didn't leap into the water like Chu Mingcheng, but walked down step by step, and then jumped upright.

Sinking for an instant, the sea water directly submerged her head.

This made her flustered and instinctively struggled.

But the next moment, a pair of powerful arms wrapped around her slender waist, and lifted her up.

After coming out of the water, she quickly spit out the breathing tube and the seawater in her mouth, coughing several times before she calmed down.

Chu Mingcheng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this, he thought that Jiang Luoluo would turn around, support the steps with both hands and go down slowly.

Unexpectedly, she was such a tiger, so she jumped down vertically.

But even so, there should be no problem, unless you can't swim.

If you can't swim, it's normal to choke on water without preparation.

"Are you okay?" Chu Mingcheng put the question in his heart for the time being, and asked with concern.

Jiang Luoluo stabilized his mind, patted his chest, still in shock: "I was scared to death."

Seeing that she was fine, Chu Mingcheng asked, "By the way, you can't swim?"

Jiang Luoluo hesitated for a moment, then said weakly: "I should be able to! I have swum in the swimming pool, but I can't swim fast!"

"." Chu Mingcheng confirmed, this girl just can't swim.

It seems that she is really a bit of a tiger. She can't swim, but she thinks about diving first?

Thanks to Kongshan Yinyue for the reward
