My fishing game syncs with reality

Chapter 325 The Big Water Monster in the Lake

The mountain road was not easy to walk on, but there were no small animals along the way, which made Gu Nan relax a lot. It seemed that he would not encounter a brown bear.

He was relieved about this. Even though they were in the game, he still didn't want to face the brown bear alone.

After walking for an hour and a half, we finally heard the sound of rushing water in the woods.

Gu Nan knew that the destination was approaching, so he quickly quickened his pace to hurry over.

Walking out of the jungle, what comes into view is a stream about seven or eight meters wide. It looks like a shallow beach. You can clearly see the pebbles under the stream and the salmon swimming upstream.

At the same time, about thirty meters upstream, Gu Nan also found a particularly shallow area where many salmon were exposed above the water.

He immediately walked over there. The water here was about half a meter deep. It was difficult to catch fish at this depth with bare hands or with a scoop net.

But you can catch fish easily in the shallow area above, and you can always catch them accurately with a scoop net.

As for silverfish, because they are small and transparent, they are difficult to catch with the naked eye and are usually caught with nets.

There are traps in the game store, but they have requirements for the usage environment and cannot be used in such shallow waters.

Gu Nan couldn't use it here either. The water was rushing and the cage would be easily washed away. Besides, there were not many silverfish here.

Since he had already spent so much time traveling today, he decided to catch the salmon first.

When you have time later, walk slowly upstream along the stream and put the cage after you reach the lake.

After spending two hundred gold coins to exchange for a scoop net and a large bucket, Gu Nan came to the shallowest part of the stream.

Then I saw a salmon with a dark brown body color that gradually lightened from the back downwards, a silvery white belly, and white round spots scattered all over the body.

The salmon's fins are reddish brown with gray-white edges and a slightly yellowish snout.

They were not small in size. Most of those he saw were over half a meter long, and occasionally a few even reached one meter.

There are many types of salmon in the Far East, but Gu Nan recognized this type of salmon with obvious characteristics at a glance. It is called Far East char.

There are also some in the Northeast region of China, but Gu Nan doesn’t know how many there are, after all, he is not from the Northeast.

This is a commonly produced salmon and its price is not that high. It is only slightly better than the cheapest rainbow trout. The market price should be around 70 to 81 kilograms, but it is not widely available.

Gu Nan didn't know how much mental energy he had left, so he quickly picked up the scoop net and started fishing.

One catch at a time, and the number of Arctic char in the fresh-frozen restaurant is increasing rapidly.

Farmed salmon is generally fatter and tastes better than wild salmon.

However, the spawning season is an exception. Since the Arctic trout are running from downstream to upstream, they are obviously going to the upstream lakes to spawn. Therefore, each of these Arctic trout is very fat, and selling them will not affect the reputation of his seafood store.

His two stores are doing good business. He doesn't actually have any price advantage; his main advantage is his good products.

If you bring back some salmon with bad taste and low fat content, people will definitely hesitate to buy it next time.

The salmon were migrating to spawn, and there were simply too many of them to count. Gu Nan couldn’t catch them all, there was no way he could catch them all.

There were already a large number of fish in the fresh ice shop, at least four or five hundred, and the place where he was was still crowded with fish, probably not even a drop in the bucket.

Gu Nan thought this map would be a good place to purchase salmon.

The salmon in his store has always been in short supply and he has not been able to expand his business. With this sea-hunting map, he can guarantee at least three months of production.

Before I knew it, the game's electronic reminder sounded, and it was time to enter the sea-hunting map today.

Back to reality, Gu Nan fell into a deep sleep instantly.

I woke up around nine the next morning, walked out of the room and came to the deck. Just like before, there was no one on the deck.

I don’t know if my fellow anglers stayed up all night again last night.

The ship is still here on the coral reef and its position has not changed.

Maybe Wang Junhe didn’t have any news about big fish for the time being, so he might as well continue fishing here.

After breakfast, Gu Nan took out his fishing rod and went fishing.

We haven’t caught many fish this time, so let’s catch some first.

Last night's bad luck seems to be gone, and my luck is pretty good this morning.

The first one is a very interesting fish. Its body color is mainly light green, with some parts being light yellow. You can tell at a glance that it is a coral fish.

The main thing is that the lips are interesting, they look like they are always pouting for kissing.

It was also the first time that Yu Gu Nan saw it, so he asked for an appraisal.

It is called blackfin thick-lipped fish. It is an ornamental fish, but its flavor level has reached six stars. Obviously, it can also be used as an edible fish, and it tastes very good.

This fish belongs to the genus Rhapis in the family Wrasses, and it looks like it has a very delicious head.

Unfortunately, the fish were not big, only about 40 centimeters long at most, and Gu Nan's fish weighed a little over two kilograms.

Received!

Soon after, the second one came, which was a huge spotted sea bream that was more than 70 centimeters long.

As soon as the fish came up, there were several shouts of "Oh my god!" from the deck.

Then three nearby boatmen all came over to look at the fish.

The spotted sea bream is over 70 centimeters long, and the minimum weight is more than 10 kilograms.

Gu Nan himself was stunned. He had never caught a fish weighing more than five kilograms, but he didn't expect to catch a bomb today.

Lehehe collected the fish and put them into the live fish tank himself.

If he could make it back to shore alive, someone would want him for 350 yuan. It's so rare.

Next, Gu Nan caught valuable fish such as black hairtail and peppered sea bream from time to time, which made several idle boatmen nearby couldn't help but take their fishing rods to fish. The fish situation was so good that it was hard to resist!
Seeing that the boatman next to him was not in the mood to work properly, Gu Nan simply sent him away. Anyway, he usually did the job of scooping fish himself.

The fish we caught in the morning were all small, so it didn’t matter if no one helped.

Time soon came to the afternoon. Gu Nan continued fishing after lunch. After a few hours, he had caught more than fifty valuable fish, with the lowest price per fish being one hundred and fifty.

He didn't pay special attention to the prices lower than this, but he made a lot of money anyway, much more than last night.

Groupers do not come out during the day, and snappers and other coral fish also begin to rest in the afternoon, and come out again at night after recharging their energy.

No wonder anglers like night fishing. There are more fish at night and it is not easy to catch empty-handed.

However, this does not mean that there are no fish in the afternoon. Many small fish are still active, and some migratory fish will also appear.

After hanging the bait, Gu Nan just threw the hook and bait into the water. Before it sank, the fishing rod was suddenly pulled, and then a huge force was transmitted from the fishing rod to his hand.

This force is no less than that of the sunfish I caught last night, and the impact is even stronger.

Gu Nan's face fell. Could he not catch big fish while he was fishing for small fish? It would be very tiring to fish like that.

He sighed, but didn't say it out loud, otherwise people would think he was being pretentious. But since he had caught a big fish, Gu Nan cheered up and started to fish well.

There is no other way. The fishing line is too thin and the fish hook is too small. If I don’t use a hard hook, the fish will definitely escape.

After feeling it for a while, Gu Nan found that the fish's strength was actually not as great as that of the sunfish.

If he hadn't loosened up a bit, the fish might not have been able to move.

Several boatmen who were fishing nearby immediately moved away from him and looked at him with envy.

Another big shipment of goods was delivered, and Gu Nan's name became known among this group of people.

There was no other way. There were so many people on the boat and he was the only one who caught big fish one after another.

Their catch in the morning was okay, with only two or three small fish caught at noon. If the other anglers hadn't gotten up yet to go fishing, they would have packed up their fishing rods long ago.

Gu Nan reeled in the fish slowly, not in a hurry at all.

Therefore, it took more than half an hour before the fish felt tired and its strength began to slowly weaken.

Gu Nan noticed this, so he picked up the fishing rod from the side of the boat and began to reel in the line quickly.

It took more than ten minutes to collect, and a large yellow-green ghost-head knife appeared in front of everyone. Gu Nan sighed.

I don’t know if I’ve been possessed by a ghost, but these past two days, I’ve been catching big fish with thin lines, but none of the fish I’ve caught are valuable.

This sword is over 1.5 meters long, which is not small. But unfortunately it can only be sold for around 1,500 yuan at most, which is not worth his time and effort.

Fortunately, there was only this big one, and no further accidents happened afterwards.

After a day of fishing, there were no special surprises, but the harvest was quite good.

Gu Nan had a great harvest, catching various coral fish and snappers during the day and various valuable groupers and parrotfish at night. He could sell them for at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan when he returns.

Wang Junhe and Guo Xiao were not idle today. In addition to fishing, they also used their mobile phones to ask people for information about schools of big fish and tuna.

The main purpose of going out to sea is tuna. The probability of encountering giant grouper and other fish is even smaller, and most of the fish are giant groupers that cannot be brought back, so tuna has become their main target.

Late at night, Gu Nan entered the Sakhalin Island sea-hunting map again.

His final destination was to go to the freshwater lake on the island, so instead of continuing to fish for char like he did last night, he walked upstream along the river.

Relying on your own legs, it will take a long time to walk even if the distance is not far.

In order to save time, Gu Nan just ran. The map showed his real body speed, so he didn't feel particularly tired even though he ran fast all the way.

It still took Gu Nan more than an hour to reach the nearest freshwater lake.

It can't be said to be particularly large, it feels like only about a hundred acres, which can't be compared with the natural large lakes in the deep mountains, but it is not small either, at least it is enough to breed arctic trout.

The first thing Gu Nan did when he arrived here was to spend one thousand gold coins to exchange for ten traps from the game store, and then lower the cages along the lakeshore.

The ropes were tied to the rocks on the lakeshore to ensure that he could retrieve the trap.

Afterwards, he walked towards the mouth of the stream, where there was also a shallow water area. Although it was not as shallow as the place where he fished last night, he could still catch fish directly with a scoop net.

After taking two steps, there was a sudden splashing sound from the lake. Gu Nan turned around and saw only a tail.

It seems that the species making the noise is quite large. Could it be the "water monster" in this lake?
Gu Nan immediately became interested.

He opened the game store and found the rental of fishing rods.

It is also one hundred gold coins, which can be used until he leaves the map.

After exchanging the fishing rod, the matching fishing line, fish hooks, etc. are directly given to you, and the line set is already matched.

When he saw the fishing line, Gu Nan knew that the "water monster" in the lake would not be small, so he had to make some preparations.

Fishing on the shore is difficult, so he dug a hole and buried stones just like he did when he fished for catfish.

In order to prevent the stones from loosening, he also compacted the soil around the stones to avoid the situation that happened last time when he was fishing for catfish.

Not knowing what this water monster eats, Gu Nan thought about it, caught a char, cut off a piece of fish meat and hung it on the hook, then threw the bait out to try it out.

The result was very good. It seemed that he guessed right. After waiting for only about five or six minutes, the fishing line suddenly became tight, followed by a not small force.

Gu Nan leaned forward slightly, but quickly stabilized.

Instead, he was a little surprised. He had thought the water monster was very big and he was prepared for a long challenge. However, he didn't expect that the strength seemed a little weak.

Did I fish the wrong way?
But no matter what, he still caught a pretty big fish, and the pulling force was estimated to be similar to that of a tuna weighing over 100 pounds.

It’s just that this fish, like the grouper, seems to like to dig to the bottom of the water.

Therefore, Gu Nan immediately locked the unloading force, then lifted the fishing rod high, and leaned back hard to pull the fish to the surface of the water.

He can withstand the force of the fish, and he can use the rocks to gain leverage, so it doesn't matter if he unloads the force to the fullest.

He was very strong, and the fish at the bottom of the water seemed unable to withstand the force, or its mouth was pulled too painfully, and finally it was pulled to the surface uncontrollably.

In an instant, huge waves surged, but the noise was much smaller than the giant catfish last time.

Gu Nan held the fishing rod and began to pull it back and forth to consume the fish's energy first.

If you are not on the boat and don’t use up all the fish’s energy, it will be difficult to catch the fish later.

Fortunately, he had caught fish of similar size frequently in the past two days, and he always used the method of walking the fish, so Gu Nan was extremely skilled at it.

Time passed slowly, and the fish was still holding on, which made him feel a little strange.

I originally thought that the fish in freshwater lakes were not as strong as the fish in the sea, but the result was surprising. This fish was also extremely enduring and felt no worse than the fish in the sea.

After more than ten minutes, the fish seemed to be exhausted and was completely pulled to the surface by Gu Nan.

The Pinocchio-like nose made him realize that it was a sturgeon!
Sturgeons can live in fresh water as well as in the ocean.

If he guessed correctly, this sturgeon should be the Sakhalin sturgeon, a very rare species, not much more numerous than the wild Chinese sturgeon.

However, in recent years, fish fry have been released, and the number should have increased slightly.

The Sakhalin sturgeon usually lives in the ocean and lays eggs in river estuaries every year, but I didn’t expect it to run into lakes.

There is no law in China to protect this fish, so Gu Nan decided to get the fish first.

After I go back, I will look for the information. If I am sure it is not protected, I will ask Lao Wang and the others if they want it.

If they wanted it, they would probably keep it as an ornamental fish, so he had to make sure the fish was alive so he couldn't kill it later.

Therefore, Gu Nan spent another twenty minutes to pull the fish until its belly turned over, and then he pulled the fish to the shore.

The fish was about 1.8 meters long and weighed about 100 kilograms.

Gu Nan went into the water, brought the fish ashore, unhooked it, and then successfully put the fish into the aquarium. (End of this chapter)
