Chapter 170： Fish representing the moon (5k)

Chapter 170 Fish Representing the Moon (5k)

At night, the sea is pitch black on all sides, and only the lights on the fishing boat illuminate a small area of ​​water.

Three electric twisting poles, there was no movement after ten minutes.

Before I saw that there were fish at the bottom of the water, Chu Mingcheng felt that the bait should be bad, and the fish at the bottom might not be interested in frozen mackerel meat.

"Grandpa, why don't you go fishing with live shrimp bait, this frozen mackerel is useless!"

"Get me some too." Wei Jiaguo turned around and said.

He couldn’t hold back anymore. He wanted to save some live bait and go to another better fishing spot, but it seems that he can’t save it now. At worst, he will get some live squid later.

"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng immediately went to the front deck, opened the live bait cabin, and fished out some live shrimps.

When the live shrimp was replaced, the fishing rod soon started to move.

Chu Mingcheng took the bait first. He pressed the button, and the electric winch immediately began to take up the line.

Judging from the change of the depth number on the screen, the fish should not be too big, because the number jumps very fast, which means that the fish has no resistance at all when it is pulled.

Jiang Luoluo wanted to take a look at it at first, so she took the net to help copy the fish, but there was movement on her own side, and she immediately pressed the button and started to rewind the line.

After a short while, there was also the sound of retrieving the cable from Wei Jiaguo behind them.

Sure enough, live shrimps are easy to use, no wonder the chances of baiting live shrimps for sea fishing are so high.

However, the cost is much higher than other baits, and being expensive does have its advantages.

Chuming City was the first to catch fish, and the power of the electric winch was the largest, so the fish were naturally the first to be pulled to the surface.

Most of the deep-sea fish he caught were red, so he put on gloves and, seeing that the fish was not too big, he directly grabbed the fishing line and lifted it up.

This is a golden-eyed sea bream, pink all over, big eyes with a little light yellow, looks very beautiful.

But this one is not the red golden-eyed bream that is particularly precious in Xiaotian, but the big-eyed golden-eye.

Bigeye goldeneye can be caught in the deep sea near the archipelago of our country, and the price is not bad. The preserved iced goldeneye can be sold for 120 yuan.

His fish is forty to fifty centimeters long, with a wide back and a big belly.

It is the same length as the money spot, but it weighs almost twice as much, about six catties.

It can be sold for six or seven hundred, which is probably the appearance of ordinary people working three to five days, not bad.

Of course, this is in no way comparable to the hundreds of catties of red golden-eyed bream in Xiaotian.

If the fish wants to fish in China, he can only venture to the northeast of Baodao. I hope that when his big boat can be launched next year, the country will have opened up that sea area.

After a short meeting, Wei Jiaguo's fish also came up.

Chu Mingcheng looked at it, and it was a sea bream, weighing three to four catties.

This kind of fish can really be found in any deep water area of ​​the South China Sea. No wonder the fish meat is also delicious, but the price is not comparable to the long-tailed sea bream.

Seeing that Jiang Luoluo's fish hadn't come up yet, Chu Mingcheng put on the shrimp bait to sink the bait to the bottom, and then walked over: "It hasn't come up yet, the fish is big?"

"That's right, look, the numbers are moving so slowly!" Jiang Luoluo pointed at the screen of the electric winch, a little annoyed

'This is my girlfriend, she caught mine' Chu Mingcheng thought to himself several times, and then praised, "You are very lucky, the first one is a big fish."

Jiang Luoluo waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to praise, if it's a good fish later, you can praise it later!"

“.”

Chu Mingcheng touched her head amusedly, but was dodged.

"I just touched a fish with my hand, it's so dirty!"

"Mistake error."

After a short while, Jiang Luoluo's fish hadn't come up yet, and the depth was still more than 70 meters. It might take more than ten minutes or even longer to wait.

Chu Mingcheng returned to his fishing position first, and pressed the button to bring the fish back.

This time it is a long-tailed sea bream, which weighs five or six catties, very good!

Just as Chu Mingcheng put away the third fish, Jiang Luoluo suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Ah Cheng, Grandpa, come and see, what a big fish!"

The two men immediately put down their work and moved over.

Wei Jiaguo looked at the water in surprise: "How is it possible that we have such a big thousand-year-old snapper in our country?"

Although Chu Mingcheng was surprised, he did not have his doubts, because he had already encountered several big fish beyond common sense.

But Jiang Luoluo caught such a big fish, which made him feel a little itchy, and he lost much interest in the five or six catties fish he had caught so far.

But this is not the time to hesitate, Chu Mingcheng quickly picked up the largest copying net and caught the fish.

Maybe the electric winch here is pulling slowly. Although this thousand-year-old snapper was pulled up from the deep water area, it still did not die, and its vitality was not bad.

Looking at the surface of the water, Jiang Luoluo kept hiding from copying the net, exclaiming and feeling nervous, for fear that the fish would run away.

Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng was still stable, successfully caught the fish head for the third time, and then exerted strength with both hands to lift the fish up little by little.

Seeing that a big fish weighing about 50 jin was lifted up easily, Wei Jiaguo couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder: "Young man is strong!"

Chu Mingcheng smiled and said: "That's necessary, how can I hug my girlfriend without strength."

"Fuck you!" Jiang Luoluo kicked his calf.

Wei Jiaguo burst out laughing when he saw this, it was the first time he met a couple who were funny and relaxed in front of him.

Chu Mingcheng was not annoyed when he was kicked, and went to get the ruler with a smile.

Wild thousand-year-old snappers weighing a few catties are very common, and it is estimated that there will not be one that weighs fifty catties a year.

Measure the length, it is exactly one meter, and the weight can be seen directly on the crane arm. This crane is relatively advanced and can be weighed directly. As a result, the thousand-year-old snapper actually weighs 53 kilograms.

Tsk tsk tsk, the same body length as a sea bass, but more than twice the weight, this fish can do it!

"Grandpa, how much can these thousand-year-old snappers sell for?" Chu Mingcheng asked.

This kind of fish market is also occasionally seen in Xiamen City. I heard that some farmed fish only sell for 30 yuan a catty, and the price of wild fish is unknown.

Wei Jiaguo thought for a while and said, "It's about a hundred yuan a catty! The exact price depends on the market price of the day, but the Lolo is big enough, and the unit price can be sold at a higher price."

Jiang Luoluo nodded in satisfaction after knowing the price: "It's not bad, the bottom line is 5,000 yuan! Boyfriend, take a photo for me!"

"Okay!" Chu Mingcheng took off his gloves and took pictures of her from various angles with his mobile phone.

Seeing this, Wei Jiaguo returned to his fishing position, saving himself from waiting for the young man to show his affection.

Having more contact with girls, Chu Mingcheng's photography skills have indeed improved a lot, and most of the photos Jiang Luoluo took are satisfied.

Then he put the fish into the refrigerated cabin and arranged it, and took it out when he returned.

Chu Mingcheng came out of the refrigerated cabin, not planning to catch these small deep-sea fish anymore.

He intends to try his luck and see if there are big octopuses in the middle waters.

"Lolo, look at my electric twisting rod. I'll go catch big fish with the rod. If you're too busy later, call me."

"Okay!" Jiang Luoluo nodded in agreement.

Electric reel fishing is very convenient, and she has no problem operating two machines by one person.

If you catch a fish that you can't lift, your boyfriend will be by your side, call at any time!

Chu Mingcheng went to take out his No. 80 boat pole, tied it to a big fishhook with a strong horse line, and then threw all the mackerel meat that Jiang Luoluo had cut before into the water to make a nest, and then hung a fresh big mackerel on it. Shrimp, throw the hook bait into the water to see if any big fish take the bait.

Many fish will eat mackerel meat, and the movement of its sinking will attract the attention of some nearby fish.

If a fish senses something falling nearby, it will think it is food, and usually swim over to have a look. Chu Mingcheng also learned this from fishing and hunting.

When you encounter a fish in shallow water, but if it does not approach, then dive to the bottom and lie down on the reef to wait.

Generally, if fish find something, they will swim closer and keep a distance to observe it. They will think that there is food.

And the small bowl of fish that Chu Mingcheng threw did attract the attention of a nearby fish.

It was swimming slowly in the middle waters, and when it found something falling, it swung its small tail and swam towards the fish.

It is in a hurry, but unfortunately it is very slow.

After swimming for a while, it reached the top where the fish fell.

Just swam to this side, it was surprised to find that there was a prawn in front of its eyes.

This kind of food is not easy for it to eat at ordinary times, and it can only pick up some leaks when it encounters a group of shrimps, so it opened its mouth without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

The main target of Chuming City on the boat is large fish, so there is no locking line cup, which can have a buffer.

The fish suddenly bites the hook, the fishing rod immediately bends down, and the fishing line in the line cup runs out unhurriedly.

He immediately raised his pole vigorously and stabbed the fish first.

Then hold the handle and start to take up the line. The result is that it can't shake.

"Hiss~ What a big fish!"

Chu Mingcheng felt the heavy force of the fishing rod, and knew that the fish was not small but not fast, so he slowly locked the line cup and increased the pulling force.

"Did you catch a big fish?" Jiang Luoluo came running over, surprised.

"Well, it's a big fish. But it's not fast, and I don't know what it is." Chu Mingcheng nodded, and the locking line cup increased the pulling force, allowing him to bear more force from the fish.

This feeling is like fishing a large grouper that swims very slowly.

Wei Jiaguo came over, he was actually a little speechless.

This young couple, each with a big product, made him, an old man, feel so embarrassed.

"squeak~squeak~squeak"

The rod is of good quality and the fish is not too big for the rod and line.

Chu Mingcheng put the fishing rod on the belly belt, and began to pull it back with all his strength.

But even if his physical fitness is comparable to that of ordinary athletes, and he has no partiality of athletes, he is strengthened in all aspects.

But his strength is still not as strong as the fish. This is just the beginning, and he can't fight the fish for the time being.

So even if the line cup is locked, the fishing line is still pulled out little by little.

That is to say, the speed of the fish is slow. If it is replaced by tuna, it will run more than 100 meters.

But the fish can’t exert force continuously. When it pauses, Chu Mingcheng will forcefully lift up the fishing rod, and then quickly retract the line several times.

So after more than 20 minutes of pulling, the fish is still in the same position as before.

Jiang Luoluo and Wei Jiaguo didn't stay around to watch the whole time, their electric winches were working, and they had to go to work when a fish was hooked.

Time passed slowly, and Chu Mingcheng's forehead was already sweating.

But he finally waited until the fish ran out of strength, and now it was his turn to exert strength.

Hold the fishing rod obliquely in your arms, clamp the handle of the rod under your armpit, and then start to reel in the line while lifting the rod vigorously.

When the rod handle is on the top belly belt, it is generally during the period when the fish is exerting force that both hands can hold the rod better.

In fact, when the fish is not easy to pull, you can also use this posture to pull hard, provided that you pull the fish well.

Now the fish’s resistance is not strong, so the fishing rod clamped under the armpit is more suitable for exerting force with one hand, and it is also convenient for the other hand to quickly reel in the line.

As the line was retracted little by little, he felt that the strength of the fish was much weaker, and the strength of resistance became weaker and weaker.

Starting now, he is going to make a big move.

Gripping the fishing rod with both hands again, the rod tip was lifted suddenly from parallel to the water surface, and the fish in the water was immediately pulled closer. The same was true for the fishing line, and he could retract several turns of the line at a time.

But the tip of the rod should not be pressed too low. If you don’t have a lot of time to catch such a big fish, it is difficult to completely exhaust their physical strength, and they will counterattack at any time.

Therefore, it is difficult to lift the fishing rod if it is pressed too low.

Ten minutes later, finally, a large silver-white fish with a round shape was pulled to the surface of the water.

Under the light, many white dots can be seen on its body, especially the long red fins, which are very conspicuous.

This fish is lying horizontally on the water surface and looks like a big disc.

"Ah, isn't this a sunfish?" Jiang Luoluo was surprised when he found the fish.

Wei Jiaguo walked over to have a look, his expression was stunned, and then turned to envy: "This is not a sunfish, this is called a spotted moonfish, which is different from the sunfish."

"Yes, no one wants sunfish, but the price of this fish is not cheap, and it can sell for a lot of money." Chu Mingcheng agreed.

"So that's the case, then Acheng, get it up quickly!" Jiang Luoluo understood, and immediately urged after hearing that it could be sold for a lot of money.

"Yeah" This moon fish is very big, but because of its round body, Chu Mingcheng couldn't estimate its weight.

But judging from the pulling force, this fish weighs at least one hundred catties, so it is difficult to pull it up so heavy.

The fish was lying flat, so he handed over the fishing rod to Jiang Luoluo to pull it first, so as not to let the fish run away.

Then start the small crane on the boat, turn the crane around, tie the fish tail with the rope above, and then pull the fish up.

The head of the crane rope is a loop like a lasso, which can be tied tightly after being put into the fish tail and pulled.

He looked at the weight displayed on the hoist, but he didn't expect it to weigh one hundred and sixty-seven catties.

The quantity of this kind of fish is extremely small, and there is no unit price in the market, and they are all sold directly by the piece.

However, an average can be calculated, which is almost two hundred and one catties.

Therefore, the estimated value of the moon fish in Chuming City is more than 33,000 yuan, which is not much worse than the average quality and weight of bluefin tuna.

Chu Mingcheng thought it would be appropriate to give this fish to Wei Jiaguo.

The ship is so luxurious, and there are chefs to cook and boatmen to clean.

With this kind of treatment, he would be ashamed not to send a high-value fish.

"Grandpa, are you interested in this fish, or if this fish is given to you, it will be regarded as the boat fare?"

Jiang Luoluo didn't have any objection when she heard that Chu Mingcheng was going to give away this valuable fish. She respected her boyfriend's opinion.

Wei Jiaguo glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Sell this fish yourself. I'm actually more interested in swordfish than moonfish or tuna."

"It would be even better if I could meet a marlin. Then you have to get me one. I can still make a specimen of the fish head and hang it on the wall!"

"Uh, I'll give you one if I meet you!" Chu Mingcheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard about the specimens being hung on the wall, and understood his plan.

Sure enough, it’s Wei·Jiaguoski who doesn’t show off and is uncomfortable. The fish is not for eating, but for showing off.

Since this fish is not needed, let’s bleed it first and put it in the refrigerated cabin, and sell it when we return to the pier.

During the bloodletting, Chu Mingcheng touched the fish blood, and it was indeed warm.

Moon fish is the first warm-blooded fish found in the world.

Its pectoral fins keep beating to generate heat, which is also the main reason why its blood is warm.

After handling the fish, the group continued fishing.

The far sea is the far sea. When it was past twelve o'clock at night, the group packed up their fishing rods and went back to sleep.

Except for a moon fish in Chuming City, he has never caught a big fish since then.

Jiang Luoluo was in charge of the two electric twisting rods, but the harvest was good, but no particularly large fish were caught, and there were very few fish weighing more than ten catties.

These fish will be sold at that time and will be placed on a general account.

According to her, it is called "Little Treasury of Love".

If two people usually go out to sea together, if they catch fish together, the money from the sale will be placed in this account.

In the future, when they go shopping together or something, the money will come out of this account.

As for the particularly large ones like the millennium snapper and moon fish, the money from the sale will be transferred to their respective hands, and there is no need to put it in a shared account.

But the person who proposed to share the account was not Jiang Luoluo, but Chu Mingcheng.

Because Jiang Luoluo's original plan was that all the fish she caught would belong to him, so she felt that the two of them were together, and the fish they each caught were purposely kept separate to show a sense of distance.

Chu Mingcheng didn't want to take advantage of her, so he proposed a shared account and handed it over to her for safekeeping.

So apart from the two big fish tonight, the remaining deep-sea fish were caught a total of 13.

Seventy to eighty catties, worth about ten thousand.

It can only be said that Yuan Hai is really cool. In just two hours, his earnings are no worse than when he was lucky in the offshore area.

Back to the cabin, just about to follow Jiang Luoluo into the bedroom, but she slammed the door shut and locked it.

If a boyfriend is a piece of wood, as a girlfriend, Jiang Luoluo cannot do without all kinds of temptations and intimacy.

But her boyfriend is a big pig, so she has to guard against it, lest she be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the closed door, Chu Mingcheng didn't care, but knocked on the door and shouted: "Luo Luo, I have something serious I want to talk to you about."

"You missed the word 'no'!" Jiang Luoluo's voice came from inside.

"Hey, you want to talk about something indecent? That's fine too, it's okay to talk all night!"

"Get out~"

"okay!"

Jiang Luoluo in the room noticed that there was no movement outside, and couldn't help puffing up: "Bad guy, hum!"

In fact, she also wanted to get close to Chu Mingcheng, but the time was not right, it was too dangerous.

Just the next moment, a familiar voice came from outside again.

"Lolo, is my toothbrush in your bag? I don't have it!"

“.”

Jiang Luoluo rolled her eyes. How could there be nothing she put there: "Go back to sleep quickly, this door will not be opened tonight. I put toothbrushes in the bathroom, neat and tidy!"

"Oh~" Chu Mingcheng sighed regretfully.

He was just worried that his girlfriend would be scared in an unfamiliar environment, and he just wanted to hug her to give her a sense of security!

What bad thoughts do you have?
