My fishing game syncs with reality
Chapter 368: The Old Man Who Keeps Wild Dolphins as Pets
Fish soup, fish soup, you must have a sip of the soup first.
For a moment, everyone held their bowls, slurped the sweet fish soup, and then began to taste the fish meat piece by piece.
After eating a small bowl, Yi Linfei exclaimed: "This grouper is really amazing. It's so big, but the meat is not dry at all. It tastes so delicate and the taste is no worse than the grouper I had at noon."
Gu Dacheng agreed: "No wonder people say that the bigger the seven-banded grouper is, the tastier it is. The fat content of its meat is indeed much higher than that of a small one."
The higher the fat content of fish, the softer and more tender it tastes. If the fat content is low, the taste will be tougher.
For example, the white-spotted snapper and the redfin snapper, both types of snappers are similar in size and appearance, but their taste is very different.
The former has a low fat content and the meat is very tough, which caused a certain Aquaman to fail while shooting a video.
The redfin snapper is different. It is rich in oil and is a snapper that is not inferior to the seven-band grouper. The most important thing is that it has a large yield and is much cheaper.
Hearing what the two said, Gu Nan disagreed and said seriously: "I think the most important thing is Chenchen's cooking skills. Otherwise, no matter how good the fish is, it's useless if it's not delicious."
Qiao Xiuqin immediately laughed: "You wouldn't flatter your wife whenever you get the chance, would you? Doesn't Chenchen let you sleep on the bed?"
"Aunt, what are you talking about!" Yi Chen immediately said coquettishly. How could she stand being teased about her private life in front of a group of elders if she was not thick-skinned?
Seeing her blush, the others burst into laughter.
Only Gu Nan's two sisters-in-law looked confused, not understanding what they were laughing at!
Girls mature early, and Dongxue didn't really not understand, but she didn't understand what Qiao Xiuqin said in a vague way.
After dinner, they took a break. Around eight o'clock, it was not so hot outside, but a little cooler. Gu Nan and his friends came out to prepare for night fishing.
When I arrived at the boat and just picked up the fishing rod, a round object suddenly appeared in my sight. It turned out to be a dolphin.
Before this thing became a protected species, it was called a sea pig by fishermen.
If you can’t afford pork, can you afford sea pig?
However, most of the wild animals in the country have now become protected animals, which is a pity for their generation as they have basically not eaten much wild game.
Gu Nan stared at the dolphin, wanting to know if it was the only one or it had some friends.
With friends around, maybe you can encounter a valuable school of fish, or even a big yellow croaker.
Large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker are one of the favorite foods of dolphins. Generally, if you encounter a group of dolphins, there is a great possibility of catching large yellow croaker by following them.
Secondly, there are dolphins near the boat, which is not suitable for fishing.
Don’t think that dolphins are fun just because they are smart and can save people who fall into the water.
Just like sharks, if you fish in front of them, they will intercept you in minutes.
However, after the dolphin discovered them, it rushed straight towards them.
The little guy is only about 1.2 meters long and is still a child among dolphins.
Adult dolphins are generally over two meters long, and three or four meters is normal for larger ones.
Gu Nan was still wondering what the dolphin was going to do, but it turned out that it came directly to the stern of the boat, stood up in the water, moved its head up and down, and made a "chirp" sound with its mouth.
"What is this for?" Gu Dacheng didn't understand.
Yi Linfei shook his head, also not knowing, and then looked at him.
"."
What does this mean? Look at what he does. They are not the same species, so how would he know what the little dolphin is going to do?
The people in the cabin seemed to have heard the strange sound as well, and they all came out curiously.
Dongxue walked the fastest holding her sister's hand. When she saw the little dolphin, Miaomiao screamed and immediately came over.
Dong Xue was quieter, but her eyes were shining, and she was obviously attracted by this black cutie.
Seeing this, Gu Nan went to the live water tank and fished out some live fish, picking out some fish caught by his father and father-in-law, because most of the fish they caught were relatively small.
Dolphins are so small that they cannot swallow slightly larger fish.
"Come, try to feed him the fish." Gu Nan lifted the bucket to the stern of the boat and said to his two sisters-in-law.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" The two little girls thanked him happily, and then started to feed the dolphins with fish.
The two men did not dare to feed the dolphin directly with their hands, but threw it in front of the dolphin.
Unexpectedly, the little dolphin opened its mouth and caught the fish in one go. Although it was small, it was not polite at all when eating fish. It swallowed the whole fish in two gulps. Gu Nan suspected that it didn't even bite it.
"Oh, I ate it, I ate it." Zhao Suying was also happy to see this scene and pointed at the little dolphin and laughed.
The two sisters-in-law continued to feed the little dolphin, and the little dolphin ate it all.
Some of them couldn't be caught, so they dived into the water for a few seconds and came out with a fish in their mouths.
Obviously, although it is small, it can still handle these fish with average energy.
After being fed a lot, the little dolphin seemed full and stopped eating.
Instead, he grabbed the fish and threw it back into the boat.
Gu Dacheng was amazed: "Wow, this dolphin remembers to return the fish after it's full. It must be a spirit!"
These words made Gu Nan's heart move. In the past, he didn't believe that animals could become spirits.
But after experiencing the storm incident of the underwater treasure last time, and Wang Junhe's ambiguous words when selling the gold, he now believes in metaphysics a little more.
But he just watched quietly from behind without saying anything.
As ordinary people, knowing more is often not a good thing, and ignorance is also a kind of bliss.
The little dolphin was full and started performing acrobatics on the sea.
It suddenly disappeared on the water surface, and the next moment, it suddenly jumped up from about ten meters in front, turned five and a half circles in the air and fell into the water with almost no splash. Perfect score.
After performing this several times, a sharp spooning sound suddenly came from a distance on the sea.
When the little dolphin heard the sound of the spoon, it stopped playing and turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound of the spoon.
This scene stunned everyone on the boat.
Yi Linfei murmured, "How come the dolphins in the ocean look like the ones in an aquarium?"
"Let's go and take a look?" Gu Dacheng became curious and wanted to see who called the little dolphin away.
Seeing that everyone on the boat was looking at him, Gu Nan spread his hands and had to go over to drive the boat.
In fact, he was also curious. The spoon just now was obviously calling the little dolphin. In addition, the little dolphin was not afraid of them at all and could even perform after being fed with fish. It did show some signs of being trained.
The dolphin disappeared in the blink of an eye. After the fishing boat started and waited for several minutes before sailing away, there was no trace of it anymore.
Gu Nan could only drive in the direction where the dolphins left. If someone really called the dolphins away, he might see some lights or something after a while.
Even fishing boats have warning lights.
As a result, after driving for a few minutes, I didn't see any warning lights, but instead saw a lighthouse.
The lighthouse is a landmark on the sea and stays on at night. There was no sign of any ship yet, so Gu Nan simply drove towards the lighthouse.
The lighthouse is built on a huge reef exposed on the sea surface, and people can live in it.
Some fishermen do not want to go home at night, but do not want to hang around on the boat, so they will go to the lighthouse to spend the night.
When Gu Nan's boat approached, he actually saw a person next to the lighthouse. He was an old man who looked to be in his early sixties.
However, people who go out to sea frequently look older. This person’s actual age may be younger than he looks.
Not only that, they actually found the little dolphin just now, and there was more than one dolphin here.
The old man obviously saw them now, but he still interacted with the dolphins, and it looked like the dolphins were just like his own.
"Uncle, these dolphins are not raised by you, are they?" Gu Dacheng came to the old man and asked curiously after he landed on the island after the fishing boat docked.
The old man shook his head: "That's impossible. They are wild dolphins. I just feed them occasionally, so they are familiar with them."
Gu Dacheng was a talkative man and chatted with the old man from time to time.
Gu Nan and his companions did not land on the island, but because the waves were not big today, their voices could be heard clearly.
It turned out that the old man used to be an animal trainer in an aquarium. He not only trained dolphins, but also beluga whales, killer whales and other larger marine creatures.
Because he was a loner, he became a lighthouse keeper after retirement. He would come to live at the lighthouse for a period of time every month, and he became familiar with the group of dolphins.
He did not specifically train this group of wild dolphins, but just fed them some fish occasionally. Over time, the dolphins began to obey his commands.
This is also the reason why the little dolphin is not afraid of strangers and is willing to eat the fish fed by Dongxue and others, because it is used to it!
However, you cannot feed them frequently, as it would become a habit and cause them to lose their ability to hunt.
The old man seemed to have been lonely for a long time. Today, he was very happy and talkative to have someone to chat with.
He also took out a fishing rod and said he would catch some fish and treat them to seafood noodles.
Gu Nan and the others readily agreed, but they just wanted to show off their skills, and the chef was naturally Yi Chen.
They didn't dare to eat food from a stranger, even if the old man looked like a good person.
This kind of reef island is a natural small fishing ground. Many anglers who like sea fishing near the coast, if they are prone to seasickness, will choose to fish on this kind of small reef island.
It’s not easy to catch big fish, but there are plenty of small fish.
Gu Nan stopped the boat about twenty meters away from the reef island, dropped the anchor, and then went to the island with his father-in-law in a small kayak.
The women stayed on the boat and did not come down.
Four men stood in a row on the reef island, fishing for a midnight snack.
There are quite a few fish on the boat, but why not go fishing so late at night?
Gu Nan went to the island and was preparing to make a nest when he saw the old man suddenly pick up the spoon and blew three short and one long whistle.
The next moment, the group of dolphins suddenly dispersed, leaving them puzzled.
The old man just smiled and didn't explain.
However, under the sea surface that they could not see, a group of about ten dolphins began to find schools of fish using their own special methods.
Soon, the leader discovered a school of small fish not far away.
The dolphins immediately came over and then dispersed.
They directly surrounded the school of fish. The surrounded fish were very panicked, but there were dolphins all around, so they could only gather in the middle.
However, at this moment, the encirclement suddenly opened up.
The school of fish seemed to have found an opportunity to escape and immediately rushed towards the opening.
The dolphins that surrounded the school of fish also followed suit. They had an obvious purpose, because as long as the school of fish deviated from the direction, the dolphins would surround them again and adjust their position.
The dolphins did not stop until they drove the group of fish to the waters in front of Gu Nan and his team.
They are far enough away to ensure that the fish cannot leave, but they will not scare them and cause them to stop biting.
The panicked school of fish came here and originally planned to leave, but the next moment they were attracted by the nest made by Gu Nan and his team.
Some fish were brave enough to want to leave, but after swimming a few dozen meters, they discovered predators and went back quietly.
Except for the old man, Gu Nan and the others didn't know all this.
Gu Nan is changing the fishing line now. There are no big fish near the reef, so the fishing lines and hooks must be smaller.
Gu Dacheng and his friends did not change their fishing rods. As soon as the fish came over, they quickly took the bait.
"Not bad, there seem to be a lot of fish here. They took the bait right after I laid the nest." Gu Dacheng turned the handle with a smile. After a while, a golden color appeared on the sea.
"Hey, hey, it's a big yellow croaker!"
"It's true, Da Cheng, you are so lucky, you actually caught a big yellow croaker." Just as Yi Linfei finished speaking, a hint of gold appeared on his side, "Hey~ I have one too!"
The old man smiled without saying anything. Instead, he picked up the fishing rod and pulled up a golden fish before them.
"It looks like there are schools of large yellow croaker fish at night!"
"Okay, okay, fishing with yellow croaker is indeed the most fun." Gu Dacheng was happy. He had been fishing for two days and was hit hard by his son. Now that he had caught a yellow croaker, there couldn't be any gap!
Gu Nan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be big yellow croakers here. It seemed that he was lucky at night.
He changed the fishing line and cast the rod. After a while, he caught another big yellow croaker. Apparently, there were quite a few of them and no other fish could be caught for a while.
As big yellow croakers were caught one after another, the number of fish gradually decreased, and other fish finally had a chance to eat the bait.
Gradually, Gu Nan and his friends also caught black sea bream, striped rock sea bream, and stone nine-eared snapper.
The amount is definitely more than enough for a midnight snack, but it’s still early, so we just continue chatting and fishing.
By now, Gu Nan had become familiar with the old man, but still didn't know his name, only that his last name was Ye.
Thinking that the old man must be familiar with the situation in this sea area, I asked, "Uncle, do you know where there are more red-billed sturgeons here? I want to catch one that weighs more than 50 kilograms."
The old man was startled when he heard this, and then he sighed: "There are fewer red-billed sturgeons weighing more than 50 kilograms now. It's not that easy to catch one if you want."
"I know that. I'm just trying it. After all, I've come here with great difficulty, and I want to unlock new species and new records." Gu Nan said with a smile.
Of course he couldn't tell the real reason.
"Then you can fish here for a whole morning tomorrow and see if you can catch something." The old man didn't ask any more questions but spoke meaningfully.
"It's here?" Gu Nan was stunned, but since the old man said so, he might as well give it a try. It would only take half a day anyway.
After all, the old man was much more familiar with this sea area than he was. Although the whereabouts of the red-billed sturgeon were elusive, they could always find their locations at specific times and places based on their familiarity with the fish.
In fact, the old man didn't know where to find the red-billed sturgeon, but he could ask the dolphins to help him out, as a reward for their company in fishing and for making him a midnight snack. (End of this chapter)
