Chapter 8 A large grouper weighing more than [-] kilograms

Fishing offshore.

What fishermen fear most is swordfish.

Even if the price of swordfish is good, the profit is nothing compared to the risks involved in fishing for swordfish.

Cao Guang pushed the fishing rod hard and was very confused.

If he could be sure that the fish caught the bait was Swordfish, then he should give up the car now to save the boss and cut the line without hesitation.

But if the hook is another big fish.

Not to mention how much this big fish is worth.

The loss of the fishhook and line set alone is half a spirit stone.

When Cao Guang was hesitating.

The big fish seemed to have given up its struggle, and the fishing rod and line suddenly became very loose.

"Oops, it's really a swordfish!"

The fishing line that had been tight suddenly became loose, not because the swordfish ran out of strength, but because the swordfish was angered and was rushing up the fishing line, and might strike him with a sword at any time.

The swordfish swims very fast in the water, covering a distance of 30 to [-] meters in just an instant.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, Cao Guang's quick eyes and quick hands quickly activated the soul-protecting talisman.

Just when the amulet had almost formed a spherical shield.

A blue-gray swordfish with a length of more than one meter and a streamlined body rushed out of the water like a flying shuttle, flipping in mid-air and using the bone sword to cut off the main line in one fell swoop.

Then he aimed at Cao Guang very carefully.

Shooting out the sharp bone sword above his head.

Chi Chi!

The sharp bone sword, which was more than two feet long, hit the spiritual shield with great momentum.

The spherical shield shook for a while. Although it blocked the swordfish's blow, a hole was poked, and then it slowly disintegrated as if it was leaking air.

Cao Guang narrowly escaped death and sat down on the boat with a thud, breathing heavily and looking pale.

Wait for a long time until your mind calms down.

Cao Guang put away the bone sword left by Jianyu and settled the accounts. He was almost losing blood.

This time I went out to sea, and so far, I have only caught a total of 7 silver fish. They are not very big, only two pounds at most, and can be sold for 6 broken souls.

As for the cost, a solid armor talisman and a frost talisman add up to 5 broken spirits. The fishing boat also consumes 3 broken spirits to go back and forth, for a total of 8 broken spirits.

I originally thought that if the fishing boat turned around and floated again, I would be able to catch a few more fish and almost break even or make a small profit.

But just now, I used a soul-protecting talisman worth 1 spirit stone, and I lost blood immediately.

Cao Guang turned around and returned to the mouth of the bay with lingering fear.

After thinking about it, let’s just go.

Taking advantage of the early weather, I switched to fishing for grouper.

Cao Guang looked up and checked the direction.

Then he drove the fishing boat, rode the wind and waves, and headed straight to an uninhabited island in the distance.

Grouper is a common marine fish that lives near islands. Because it likes to hide in places with complex structures such as seafloor rocks, gravel, and coral areas, it is not easy to catch and is very easy to get caught on the bottom.

However, grouper meat is delicate and tastes excellent, so the price is good, usually three or four times that of ordinary fish.

And groupers are usually quite big.

If you can catch a grouper weighing twenty to thirty pounds today, you can get your money back directly.

On the vast sea, the six-meter-long small sampan boat was like a small black spot, constantly moving forward.

In view of the grouper's wide mouth and sharp teeth and ferocious temperament, live shrimp is needed as bait.

So when Cao Guang passed by an area with crab pots and shrimp pots, he stopped the boat and bought several kilograms of live shrimp and small octopuses from others.

Wait until the afternoon, when the fishing boat sails to the island and reef area where grouper is found.

Cao Guang discovered that the few fishing boats that often fished for grouper here might have all gone to Jiaolong Bay.

Fishing for grouper is different from fishing for black sea bream. It is usually divided into "fixed-point fishing" and "drift fishing".Among them, "fixed-point fishing" means knowing where the grouper is hidden, and then constantly changing the bait to tease the fish and stick to the fixed point.

"Drift fishing" is to control the fishing boat to follow the flowing water and drift continuously in the grouper activity area. Every time it reaches a structural point, it uses the method of knocking the bottom with a lead drop to attract the attention of the grouper and lure the fish to bite the hook.

Of these two methods of grouper fishing, it’s unclear which one is better and which one is worse. Among them, fixed-point fishing has low cost but is limited by the environment, while drift fishing, although it covers a wide area and has a high chance of catching fish, has a high chance of fishing for planets on the bottom. Also big.

If he was fishing for grouper on a regular basis, and the good fishing spots would have been occupied early, Cao Guang would naturally choose drift fishing.

But today, there are few fishing boats here, and the four or five good fishing spots where groupers are often found are deserted.

Cao Guang thought for a while, chose a sunken fishing position, and parked the boat above the sunken ship on the seabed.

Returning to the cabin, he chose a hard pole, tied the line set, and directly hung a two-pound lead weight.

Cao Guang is no stranger to this shipwreck location.

Take out a large live shrimp from the live cabin, and hang a three-finger-wide fishhook on the shrimp cavity.

The lead plummeted into the sea with a thud, and the fishing line flew more than 50 meters before reaching the bottom.

Next, every time you burn incense.

Cao Guang gently lifted half a meter of fishing line and let the lead pendant hit the sunken ship to attract Grouper's attention.

But after waiting for a full cup of tea, the fishing rod didn't move.

Cao Guang picked up the water bag next to him and poured some water into his mouth.

Then he reeled in the line, took out the half-dead prawn, and hung up a new, lively prawn.

This time, wait for the lead to fall to the bottom.

After holding the incense for half a minute, the tip of the fishing rod suddenly shook slightly.

good sign!
Cao Guang held the fishing rod firmly with both hands, his eyes unblinking.

A proficient in fishing skills told him that although the tip of the rod was shaking just now, there was no fish biting the hook.

But it was probably the live shrimp on the hook that was frightened and bounced away.

Therefore, there is a high possibility of grouper coming next to the fishhook.

The reason why he didn't bite him right away meant that he must be an old grouper and very cunning.

Cao Guang stared at the tip of the rod with all his concentration. After four or five breaths, the live shrimp hanging on the hook pulled hard on the line and bounced several times.

Cao Guang knew that once the grouper found its prey, it would not give up easily. Even though the grouper on the seabed was very cunning and very patient, Cao Guang, as a hunter, would be more patient.

Soon, the time of a stick of incense passed.

The live shrimp on the hook have not been moved for a long time.

The fishing rod suddenly pulled straight down without warning.

Cao Guang never relaxed and was well prepared. As soon as the grouper bit, he held the fishing rod with both hands and lifted it up.

The newly hooked grouper is very strong and tries its best to drill down.

Cao Guang directly mobilized the few spiritual power in his body, poured it into his hands, and lifted them up fiercely.

The entire fishing rod instantly bent into an arc.

The two sides were in a stalemate for dozens of breaths.

Finally, Grouper drilled down with less force.

Cao Guang seized the opportunity and quickly reeled in the line until the fishing line had gone up five or six meters.

He knew that this grouper was stable.

As long as the grouper fails to penetrate low at the beginning, the fish will basically not escape.

After all, this is the world of immortality. The fishermen have no physical strength, and the fishing rods and hooks are also very strong.

Next, I am afraid that if the fish is pulled too fast, the big grouper will lose pressure and bloat.

Cao Guang was not in a hurry or slow, and retrieved the line at a constant speed.

Slowly, an extremely large group of fish emerged from the sea. Visual inspection must have weighed more than a hundred pounds.
