230. A good start
The Sea God Consciousness quickly visited the seabed for more than half an hour, but he didn't even encounter a tuna, let alone the shipwreck. This made him quite depressed. Didn't it say that George's shoal has the richest tuna resources? Why didn't he meet one of them?
Shaq, who was throwing bait, saw Qin Shiou feel depressed and asked him the reason. Qin Shiou said that after he looked around, he felt that there was no black tuna here.
Shaq said: "Be patient, boss, tuna is not cod, this thing is hard to come by. There must be fish in the Georges Ford, and there are a lot of fish, but they won't be waiting for us honestly, so all we have to do is throw the bait and attract them to get close."
Qin Shiou shrugged, put on his headset and listened to the explosive music of Phoenix Legend and sat in the cab to blow the sea breeze.
After a while, a small raft came over and the Americans on the boat shouted, "Hey, guys, are you here for vacation? Why not stay away from us? This is our territory, we have been here for half a month!"
Shaq said: "Are you sure you've been here for half a month? You're here to catch black tuna, right? According to the law, this kind of fish is allowed to be caught in August. In this way, is there something wrong with my calendar book? I thought the first week of August had passed less than half."
The American said impatiently: "But it was indeed the one we came here first, so you guys leave ok?"
Qin Shiou came out and asked what was going on. Shaq said that the American wanted us to leave this sea area. Qin Shiou frowned and said, "These Americans are too domineering, right? Don't worry about them, I want to see what they can do to us."
The sea monster explained: "It's like this when fishing for black tuna. Fishermen have their favorite locations. They think that the probability of encountering fish in those locations is higher, so they don't want anyone around them."
Qin Shiou shrugged, the sea god's consciousness was still wandering in the water. In a trance, he saw two large fish with smooth bodies chasing herrings at the bottom of the sea just north of the fishing boat.
Seeing these two fish, he was happy. How could he not tell whether these two fish were bluefin tuna?!
The two fish are both short, one is more than one meter and one is longer, so you can catch them.
Canada and the United States have strict requirements on the accurate fishing size of bluefin tuna. It must exceed 73 cm and be less than this length, so the fish cannot be sold and can only be taken back and eaten by themselves. If the fisherman sells it secretly, once it is reported, then no one will ever get the accurate fishing license for rare economic fish in this life.
To a certain extent, the laws of Canada and the United States are very desirable, and the people also have enough awe of the law, so once North America decides to protect what wild animals it will be successful immediately.
When Qin Shiou encountered these two bluefin tunas, without hesitation, he immediately inputted the sea god's energy into it first. This was considered to have his mark. He can control these two fish at any time in the future.
Two fish were found. Qin Shiou did not control them, but instead directed the sea monster to transfer the fishing boat.
Shaq stopped throwing the bait, and Qin Shiou said, "Don't stop. Man, continue throwing the bait. There are big fish around here. I have a premonition, and my premonition is often not wrong."
Shaq shrugged and continued to throw bait into the sea. The rhythm was maintained very well, and he was obviously a master.
A fishing rod beside Qin Shiou suddenly bent. Seeing this, Qin Shiou hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod and started to close the wheel.
Fishing bluefin tuna is different from ordinary fishing. Because this kind of fish is large and has strong strength, the fishing rod is not held in the hand, but stuck in the fishing position of the fishing boat. When a fish is hooked, all people have to do is turn the wheel seat to retract the fishing line.
Qin Shiou rolled his wheel seat and knew that it was not the bluefin tuna that was hooked. Because the fish had too little power, he caught it casually. It was a small Atlantic male fish.
The Atlantic male fish is a type of the Anchovies family of the Radiant Finfish. It is distributed in the Atlantic Ocean region of the Central and Western Atlantic Oceans. It has a residence depth of up to 50 meters. It likes to swim in groups and lives on the coast. It feeds on plankton and can be used as edible fish or bait fish.
This fish is already a relatively large among the little male fish, about ten centimeters. Qin Shiou grabbed it and smiled and prepared to throw it into the breeding bucket to make bait in the future.
As a result, Shaq took the little male fish with malicious intentions, cut it open and took out his bloody heart, handed it to Qin Shiou and said, "Boss, eat it."
In the cab, the sea monster poked his head out and laughed: "Yes, boss, eat it quickly, this is our Newfoundland tradition. In order to get good luck, every time the captain goes out to sea, he must eat the fish's heart when he first catches fish."
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "What if he caught a whale?"
Shaq said: "As long as you have the ability to get it up, you have to eat its heart. So every time a smart captain goes out to fish, they will guess the size of the fish based on their weight. The big fish will be let go, and the small fish will be pulled up, which is why."
Qin Shiou shook his head and refused, saying, "I respect your customs, Shaq, but I really can't do this. This is so disgusting. Look, this heart is still pumping blood out!"
After hearing this, Shaq and the sea monster pretended to be injured. Qin Shiou shrugged and said helplessly: "Ok, ok, guys, you really make me embarrassed."
As he said that, he took the fish's heart as big as an index finger and threw it into his mouth and swallowed it directly.
The sea monster smiled and poured him a glass of wine. As soon as he walked out of the cab, the sonar fish detector suddenly made a sharp "drip" sound!
Hearing this sound, the sea monster threw away the wine glass, rushed to the screen of the fish detector and looked at it, turned around and shouted at Shaq: "Drop the bait quickly, change the live bait! Two big fish are approaching, one is about forty meters below the bow of the boat, and the other... Damn, hurry up! It's definitely bluefin tuna!"
Shaq's hand was very quick and he chopped the little male fish he had just killed into two pieces and threw it into the water. Then he took out a live herring from the breeding bucket and hung it on the fish hook and threw it down.
While working, Shaq said excitedly: "Look, look, boss, this is the power of tradition! You just eat the heart of the little fish and good luck comes! We must catch at least one of the two bluefin tunas!"
Qin Shiou rolled his eyes and thought to himself what does this have to do with my little fish's heart? Is it clearly found it with the consciousness of the sea god?
But Shaq was right. They could catch at least one of the two bluefin tunas. Qin Shiou was about to catch the big fish and keep the small fish for taming it.
Unfortunately, both fish are male, otherwise Qin Shiou wanted to bring them back to the fishing ground for Dalan to breed.
It is better to teach him fish than to teach him fish. Qin Shiou understands this truth very well.
Shaq's confidence makes sense. Bluefin tuna is very gluttonous. They usually swim under the sea. When they swim to the sea, they find food ready to prey. There is no doubt that it is now the herring segment that Shaq has thrown away, which attracts them.
Because bluefin tuna continues to swim and consumes a lot of energy, the bait in the sea is not rich enough to be seen everywhere, so it never misses any food. This is why fishermen can catch them with fishing rods. (To be continued)
