Chapter 274 Sunfish
Chapter 274 Sunfish
Fishing is a physical activity. Even though I had eaten a lot of skewers before, I had digested them long ago.
As soon as the radio announced that it was time for lunch, Chen Zhiyao pulled her family and hurried into the kitchen.
The lunch provided on the boat was mixed fish pot, pan-fried pomfret and fried pork belly with cabbage.
Seeing that the dishes were just average, Chen Hu took out a sea bass weighing more than three pounds and asked the kitchen to steam it.
Chen Zhiyao and three other friends occupied a small table and sat around it to eat lunch.
When a few people gathered together, they began to proudly brag about their catches and superb fishing skills.
"The fishing conditions are pretty good today. I caught several nice-sized groupers. The last two were both over 20 kilograms."
"Huzi, your vision is still narrow. If you want to fish, go for the big fish, like the sailfish I just caught."
Grandpa Chen ate his lunch calmly, "You two should keep a low profile. I caught an 80-jin swordfish and didn't tell anyone."
The people who were sitting next to them heard that they were being Versailles, so they cursed and took their lunch to other places.
Chen Zhiyao was afraid that they would be beaten, so she urged them to eat quickly and talk less.
But she was also secretly proud of herself in her heart, because the combined catch of the twenty fishermen on the boat was not as much as that caught by their family.
Well, today is a really good day!
The fishing conditions were good in the morning, and right after lunch everyone returned to their fishing spots to continue working.
The biggest fish caught on the boat so far is the swordfish caught by Chen Zhiyao and her two companions. Now everyone is ready to catch tuna.
Chen Zhiyao turned on her X-ray glasses and walked around the boat.
I was disappointed to find that there were no big fish in the nearby waters, only small ones weighing less than 10 kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao picked up a large shrimp and looked at the large squid provided on the boat.
There were only four squids on the boat, and she thought they would all be gone in no time. But she didn't expect that there were still two left in the afternoon.
The prawn on the hook slowly sank into the water along with the lead weight, and was soon eaten by the fish in the sea that were eyeing it eagerly.
The fish was not big, but unexpectedly it was very strong, and the reel made a squeaking sound as it was pulled.
Chen Zhiyao quickly turned on the force release of the pole and turned off her X-ray glasses.
The fish in the sea were very ferocious. At this moment, they were biting the fishing hook and swimming desperately towards the deep sea.
Chen Zhiyao had just finished her meal and had recovered the energy she had consumed in the morning. She was leisurely playing with the fish below.
The other fishermen on the boat heard the commotion here, and when they saw that she caught the fish so quickly, they all looked at her with envy.
The more he struggled, the more painful it was to pull the fishhook in his mouth.
The fish in the sea sensed the danger and began to struggle frantically.
The man and the fish were pulling each other back and forth, but their states were very different.
The sea fish below were beginning to feel a little tired, but Chen Zhiyao was still energetic and vigorous.
This guy has a lot of explosive power and strength, but his endurance is a bit lacking. He was tired in less than 10 minutes.
After walking for a few more minutes, Chen Zhiyao felt that the fish below had completely lost their strength.
Now it was her turn. The handle of the reel was shaken vigorously, and the fish was pulled out of the water little by little.
Soon, a sea wolf with its mouth wide open was caught.
"No wonder there was no big fish, but we encountered such a strong creature. It turned out to be a sea wolf."
Sea wolves are very strong and have very sharp teeth. If they don't bite straight, they will be easily cut.
Moreover, the price has remained stable at 10 yuan per catty all year round, so many anglers don't like it.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the ferocious sea wolf in her hand, and the smile on her face faded a little.
I don’t know if my luck in the morning had run out, but I caught several sea wolves weighing seven or eight kilograms each.
But she was not the only one. Almost all the fish caught by the people on the boat in the afternoon were sea wolves.
And those who are not as big as her are basically around four or five kilograms.
Needless to say, we must have encountered a school of sea wolf fish.
Chen Zhiyao turned on her X-ray glasses and prepared to see if there were any other valuable seafood on the seabed.
At this moment, a ball-like black shadow suddenly appeared in the front left and slowly swam upwards from the bottom of the sea.
This black shadow was different from any fish she had seen before. It looked like an oval ball, and the fins on both sides were wide and large.
She could tell from the fins on both sides that it was a fish.
This guy moved very slowly and looked a bit clumsy. Chen Zhiyao couldn't guess what kind of fish it was.
She no longer wanted to fish for sea wolves, and when she saw this big guy, she quickly changed to a larger hook.
The bait was also changed to a large squid weighing about half a pound.
The shadow was quite far away, so Chen Zhiyao used all her strength to throw the bait to the front left.
Under the action of the lead sinker, the bait falls rapidly into the sea, while the fish in the sea rises slowly.
Soon, the two met.
With the help of the bait companion, the big guys swimming upstream were quickly attracted.
The big guy opened his mouth wide, ready to eat the delicious squid.
Unexpectedly, his movements were too slow. Just as he opened his mouth halfway, the squid in front of him continued to fall under the influence of gravity.
Facts have proved that no matter how bad a fish's behavior is, it will become proactive in front of delicious food.
Chen Zhiyao watched the rolling fish chasing the squid downstream, and quickly grasped the fishing rod in her hand, ready at all times.
Less than two minutes later, I felt a strong pulling force on the fishing rod in my hand.
This fish is quite strong, but it feels weird, just like the red carp I caught this morning, it doesn't like to move.
Chen Zhiyao had just been fishing for a few minutes when she suddenly thought of a strange sea fish.
"It's a giant oval-shaped creature that doesn't like to move. Isn't it a sunfish?"
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, I finally caught a large sea wolf.
Although the appearance of the sunfish looks very different from that of the sea wolf, the fish meat on its body is exactly the same as that of the sea wolf.
The texture of the sunfish is loose, and even my husband, Ah Huang, doesn’t like to eat it.
This fish is only suitable for making fish balls and the price is very low.
To Chen Zhiyao, this guy is no different from a large sea wolf, both of which cost 10 yuan per pound all year round.
In less than 10 minutes, a sunfish with round eyes and a round body was pulled out of the water.
Sunfish
The scientific name of the sunfish is Mola mola, also known as stingray or sting fish, and it is usually called sunfish here.
Sunfish usually appear alone or in pairs, but occasionally you may see more than a dozen of them appear together.
When the sunfish is small, its movements are quite agile. As it grows up, I don’t know if it’s because its body is too big, but its movements become very slow.
However, because this fish is not tasty, other marine creatures in the sea will not actively attack it.
Therefore, the sunfish is also famous for its love of playing badly.
When the weather is good, they will float on the sea to bask in the sun, living a very leisurely and comfortable life.
This fish weighed at least several dozen kilograms, and just pulling it out of the water had consumed most of Chen Zhiyao's strength.
Finally, it was lifted up using the ship's crane.
