I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 135: Setting up the hook is also a tiring job!

"Village Chief, you are really amazing. You can tell it's a red octopus at a glance."

"We are lucky this time. We actually encountered a large group of octopus fish here feeding on small fish. This opportunity can be said to be very rare. I estimate that our harvest today will definitely be good."

Bailang saw that the village chief had guessed it, so there was nothing to hide.

"Haha, if you have been working in this sea all your life and have decades of experience, you can probably guess it."

When the village chief heard Bai Lang's exaggeration, he felt a little happy and proud.

I am proud that I really guessed it right, and I am happy that if these Zhang Hong can be caught, it will definitely be a huge harvest.

Wang Jianguo and the others were resting on the other side of the deck. Everyone knew that there would be another long and hard work ahead.

When they heard the village chief's laughter, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look over. Although they didn't know why the village chief was laughing so happily, they were sure that something good was going to happen.

Almost half an hour had passed while Bailang and the village chief were smoking and chatting.

He took a look and thought it was almost there, so he asked the village chief to drive the boat back to the first row of hooks. Since the distance was not very far, he arrived almost in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? Where's the buoy?"

Wang Jianguo held the hook in his hand. He remembered that he threw the row of hook buoys at this place.

Although a long time has passed, there are no currents in this sea area, and the water flow is relatively slow, so it is impossible for the buoy to go to other places.

"Under the water, under the water!"

Wang Dayong also searched for a long time. He accidentally looked down and found traces of the buoy under the sea water.

Wang Jianguo also looked down, and finally found the shadow of a buoy nearly one meter underwater. He had been staring at the sea just now, no wonder he couldn't see anything.

"How big are the fish on this row of hooks, and how can they pull the buoy so deep?"

Looking at the buoy floating in the water, several people were shocked.

We have been out to sea so many times, and even Wang Jianguo and others who have been fishing for more than ten years have seen this kind of situation for the first time.

"Uncle Jianguo, why are you still dawdling? Hurry up and pull the buoy up to see what kind of fish you caught!"

Wang Dayong couldn't wait any longer and immediately urged Wang Jianguo to pull up the buoy. He knew that a very big fish must have been caught below, otherwise this would not be possible.

Wang Jianguo also reacted. After taking a deep breath, he extended the hook into the water and hooked up the buoy.

"Wait a minute!"

Bailang saw that Wang Jianguo was about to reach out to pull the hook, and immediately rushed over to stop him.

"What's wrong, prodigal son, do we have to wait a little longer?"

I don't know why Bailang came over, but Wang Jianguo immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Dazhu, hurry up and get some gloves from the cabin. The fish caught this time is very big. You can't pull the hook directly with your bare hands. It's easy to hurt your hands!"

It would be fine if it was the same fish as before, but today's red gannets were all very big, weighing at least forty or fifty kilograms.

When pulling such a big fish, even though the thread is relatively thick, it is still easy to get scratched on the hands. Although everyone has a thick layer of calluses on their hands due to years of hard work, they still cannot handle such a big fish. .

After Dazhu heard Bai Lang's words, he immediately ran into the cabin and took out several pairs of gloves.

Everyone didn't dare to make excuses, so they immediately followed Bai Lang's instructions and put on their gloves one by one.

They knew that it was very necessary to wear gloves. Even the buoys with hooks were pulled into the water. There must be many fish below, and they must be huge.

Only by wearing gloves can you protect your hands, otherwise you will be causing trouble for yourself.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Wang Jianguo began to pull up the row hook in the water.

As soon as his hands grasped the main line, he could immediately feel that it was very heavy, and the entire main line was shaking constantly, which was something he had never encountered before.

Even the last time I fished for spotted snapper, it was nowhere near as powerful and shaking.

This proves that what is hanging on the hook now is definitely a fish much larger than the spotted snapper.

The star-spotted snapper weighing more than ten kilograms is already very large, and those much larger than them may have reached thirty or forty kilograms!
Wang Jianguo started to pull hard, and found that he felt like he couldn't move it. He pulled hard again, and then slowly pulled the main line up a little.

At this time, he felt as if he was pulling a 100-pound stone, and the veins on his hands popped out.

After Wang Jianguo pulled for a while, he couldn't help but take a deep breath before continuing to pull down.

"Hahaha, Uncle Jianguo, I think you didn't eat enough last night. Why can't you even pull a fish?"

Wang Dayong stood nearby and saw this situation, and began to gloat a little.

It had been agreed just now that he and Dazhu and the others would be the first to pull the hooks, but after Wang Jianguo rested for a while, he took the job away again.

Now that he is pulling so hard, he must have consumed too much energy in releasing the hook just now and has not fully recovered. From this point of view, he is definitely bringing it upon himself.

Wang Jianguo's face turned red. He really had no way to refute it. He did say this at the beginning and asked Dazhu and Wang Dayong to pull the hooks first. But when it came time to actually start lifting the hooks, he couldn't help but steal the job. , now he really feels like he can’t get off the stage.

The most important thing is that he didn't expect that the fish Bailang found this time would be so big, which was completely beyond his expectation.

Wang Jianguo didn't say a word. He had to finish the job he had grabbed, even if he gritted his teeth. At least he had to pull up a fish first, otherwise he would not be able to get on the boat at all in the future.

He gritted his teeth and pulled the main line step by step. Fortunately, they brought such a large hook when they went to sea this time, otherwise they would definitely not be able to carry it.

"Here comes the fish!"

Wang Jianmin kept looking down at the water, and after a while he saw the shadow of a fish slowly appear.

He was shocked at first because the fish shadow was so big, like a big torpedo.

According to his experience, the size of this fish must have exceeded forty pounds.

Wang Jianguo had actually seen Yu Ying a long time ago. After all, he was the one pulling the main thread, but he kept holding back his energy and pulled the main thread hard, unable to speak at all.

He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, his hands would definitely not have that much strength. The fish would definitely jump back into the sea, and he might also be taken into the water.

At this time, he had almost exhausted all his strength, holding the main line with both hands, kicking his feet on the side of the boat, and leaning back desperately. Only in this way could he fight against the big fish in the water.Wang Jianguo knew very well that if it was just a big fish weighing [-] pounds, it would definitely not have such strength. There must be more than one fish on this row of hooks, and there must be more fish of this size.

Pulling the hook is actually a very technical job, especially when encountering such a big fish.

Pulling such a fish requires not only strong strength, but also good control of strength.

You know, if you pull too hard, the fish underwater will definitely struggle with all its strength, and the sub-thread hanging on the fish's mouth is likely to break, so you must use skillful force and never use it. Brute force.

Wang Jianguo has been fishing for more than ten years. He never thought that one day he would be so embarrassed when pulling the hook, as if all his strength had been drained.

Wang Dayong had no intention of joking at this time. He had already seen that Wang Jianguo had tried his best.

The reason why he pulled so hard was not only that he had used up part of his strength to release the hook just now, but the bigger reason was that the fish in the water were too big, and there must be a lot of them.

Wang Jianguo must concentrate on dealing with the fish on the main line at this time. If he is distracted by joking at this time, all the fish on the main line may run away.

If any of the big fish weighing tens of kilograms escapes, it will be a huge loss.

Wang Dayong and Dazhu stood nearby, and they all became nervous, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"It's Da Zhang Hong!"

Wang Jianmin held a copy net in his hand and was ready for the attack.

Just now he could only see a huge shadow, but as Wang Jianguo pulled up more and more main lines, the big fish under the water began to slowly emerge from the water. Soon he also recognized the big fish. A strip of red.

Then he took another look at the net in his hand and shook his head: "No, this fish is too big, my net won't work!"

The Zhang Hong under the water definitely weighed over forty pounds. Although the net in his hand was not small, it was obviously not suitable for catching such a big fish.

"Uncle, use me to copy the net."

Wang Jianmin looked back and found that Dazhu was holding a huge copy net in his hand.

Not to mention the forty catties of fish he copied, there would be no problem even if he caught hundreds of catties of fish.

Wang Jianmin dropped the net in his hand and was about to take it from Dazhu, but he suddenly hesitated and then simply stepped back two steps.

"Dazhu, it's you who do it!"

Although he really wanted to copy the fish himself, he knew very well that these fish were too big.

When setting the hook just now, he and Wang Jianguo spent a lot of money. He might not be able to catch a fish of this size now, and even if he could catch it, it would be very difficult.

In order to prevent accidents, it is best to rest for a while. After all, for such a big fish, if one of them escapes, it will cost you thousands of dollars.

Dazhu nodded, without refusing, and immediately stood at the position given by Wang Jianmin.

Wang Jianguo saw that Da Zhanghong had emerged from the water, and the movements of his hands became more careful. Now he not only had to control the strength, but also the direction.

He had to keep the big red seal away from the hull of the boat as much as possible. If the fish got under the boat, it would definitely be a very troublesome thing, because there were a lot of oysters and other things growing on the bottom of the boat, which were very sharp and very dangerous. It is easy to break the sub-thread.

Dazhu saw the right opportunity, held the big fishing net in both hands and reached directly into the water, and copied the head of the big Zhanghong that was floating on the water without any movement.

Wang Jianguo had also been watching. After seeing that he had hit the fish head, the main line in his hand immediately loosened, and then the big red body naturally entered the net.

As Dazhu lifted the net out of the water, the big fish inside began to struggle desperately, but no matter how hard it struggled, it was of no use now.

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Jianguo let out a long breath.

He has been fishing for more than ten years and has let go of countless rows of hooks. This is the first time he has fished such a big fish. The main reason is that it is too laborious and tiring.

"Dayong, it's your turn next."

Although he was still reluctant to part with it, Wang Jianguo knew that he really might not be able to catch the fish now.

The fish just now had almost exhausted all his strength.

Wang Dayong will naturally not be polite, and he also knows that he must take over now.

Wang Jianguo obviously has no strength, and now there are obviously fish on this main line, and each one may be very big.

The following facts also proved that the result was just as they expected.

Although there are not many fish on the first row of hooks, maybe only ten, but each one is really big!
Fortunately, Dazhu and Wang Dayong are both young and strong, otherwise they would not be able to complete a row of hooks.

Tang Dahai stood behind the deck. When he was pulling the row hook just now, he was watching almost the whole process.

It can be said that each of the more than ten red octopus fish is bigger than the last one. The smallest one weighs forty kilograms, and the largest one is estimated to weigh more than fifty kilograms.

Any fish like this can be sold for 3000 to [-] yuan in the market, and there is no need to worry about no one buying it.

"Boss Bai, you are so awesome. With such a big Zhang Hong, even if there are only ten hooks on each row, each row of hooks is worth [-] to [-] yuan!"

Tang Dahai was very excited.

Although fish like Zhanghong are not considered valuable, the main reason is that these Zhanghong are wild and caught with hooks.

Now after these Zhang Hongs land on the shore, they are all alive and kicking, and they are all flicking their tails desperately.

You know, the fish caught with a hook is no different from the fish caught with a fishing rod. They are all the freshest, and the price difference between those caught with a net is very big.

Although these octopus fish may not necessarily survive, they are definitely still very fresh after being delivered to the shore.

"Boss Tang, please don't brag, okay? Twenty to thirty thousand dollars can't even cover my labor and gas money."

Bai Lang was a little speechless when he saw Tang Dahai was flattering him as soon as he came up. He didn't know if he was used to it or if he really felt that way.

Earning [-] to [-] yuan from a row hook is indeed very good to others, but it is completely unsatisfactory to him. Although it is not bad, it is definitely not good.

He had just taken a look and found that there were about three to four hundred Zhang Hong in this sea area. If he could only catch a hundred, he would definitely be at a loss. At least half of them would be considered good.

Of course, in his opinion, income is not the most important thing now. While making money, he is also trying his best to complete the system upgrade task.

Upgrading his fishing system to the next level requires about 20 kilograms of seafood. Even if he catches [-] large Zhanghong fish this time, it will only be about [-] kilograms, so the fishing task is still heavy. And it’s a long way to go.
