Chapter 178 Continuous Big Red Moray Eels
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong got up and opened the window to check the weather.
It's cloudy, there's not much wind, the ground is dry, and it didn't rain at night, so you can go out to sea.
He put on his clothes rustlingly, and the two children were sleeping in a mess on the bed. He took the sheets and covered them up. It was very cold in the morning and evening, so don't catch a cold.
A small bed was originally placed in the room, but the boss was unwilling to sleep there and insisted on squeezing in with them. He was looking forward to finding an auspicious day to make him move over.
He is already so old and sleeping next to his mother all day long is so shameless.
After a simple wash, he ate rice porridge with pickled mustard and dried fish. After filling his stomach, he poured the bowl of sea centipedes he had left yesterday into the bucket. After saying hello to his wife, he listened to a few words of advice from her and started again.
He took two large rice cakes she had fried and two baskets of coiled fishing lines and went out to sea.
Dilong just collected the goods yesterday, so he didn’t need to collect them today. He only collected one at random, not much, mainly to use it as fishing bait. Sea centipedes are a bit luxurious to use as fishing bait. He didn’t take much, and still needed some small fish.
Shrimp.
After collecting it, he rowed the boat to the place where the hook was placed. The surrounding sea area was only that big, so he was not afraid of not being able to find it.
After finding a familiar buoy, he stopped the boat and started to reel in the line. He didn't know what good product he would catch today if he threw the hook into the sea overnight.
This means that it only works if you are close to the shore. If it is far away, you still have to retract the line every day.
He started to reel in the line with great expectation, and the first fish surprised him, a grouper!
Looking at the blue spots exposed on the water, he instantly beamed. They were blue melon seed groupers.
When he was pulled ashore, he was even happier. The fish was estimated to weigh 8 kilograms.
Blue melon seed grouper is a grouper with fine points. Its body is flat on the side, like a melon seed. Its body color is mostly light blue, sometimes white and sometimes black. Some fish have some light brown spots on their body.
The ones don't.
The common size is around two or three kilograms, but there are also individuals weighing more than four or five kilograms or even ten or more than ten kilograms. This one is already quite good in size. Groupers of this species are all relatively large, and they are the richest among groupers.
It is known as "Chicken of the Sea".
Ye Yaodong muttered, "The head and belly can be steamed, the fish meat can be stir-fried, and the fish bones can be made into soup...Forget it, just think about it."
Although this fish is worth a lot of money, the weight is there, and it is already dead. It is not as good as the manta ray yesterday. This one is worth about 20 yuan, which is a good start!
When he took in the first fish, he also saw the small boat heading towards this sea area in the distance. It was Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao coming over.
After taking a look, he reeled in his own line, and ended up reeling in 3 fish, each weighing about 2 pounds. He had a hunch that there would be no shortage of fish coming next, as these fish were active in a whole school.
"Dongzi, why are you here so early?"
"Well, I didn't take the thread back yesterday. If you don't worry, I came out early to take it back."
"How's it going?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and put down the main line in his hand first, picked up the blue melon seed grouper and showed it to them.
"F*ck!" the two of them said in unison!
"What the hell kind of luck are you having?" Ah Zheng glared.
"It's not bad. You have to focus on quality and weight, right? I've got a good start, so my luck won't be bad today."
Xiaoxiao said sourly: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come over to say hello. It would make people jealous if I did it so early in the morning! Let's go, let's quickly go lay out the hooks."
After Ye Yaodong waited for them to leave, he continued to reel in the thread. Suddenly he felt that the main thread could not be pulled at all. He was overjoyed. Is there something big? He couldn't even pull it.
He continued to exert force, but still couldn't pull it. He couldn't help but wonder, how big a fish must this be?
After thinking about it, he rowed the boat forward for a certain distance, and then continued to reel in the line. Unexpectedly, he saw a mess of knotted lines!
It turned out that the main line and the line for hanging the fishhook were completely entangled together, forming a big ball. Ye Yaodong was so angry that he vomited blood, and Bai was happy.
"Bullshit, I thought it was such a big fish, but it can't even be pulled. Damn it, you've been fooled."
He cursed and pulled up the rope, trying to untie it, but found that it was difficult to untie and it was a bit time-consuming. Now he was busy reeling in the thread, so he could only untie it slowly after returning home in the evening.
He jumped over the knotted line and continued to collect it along the rope. This time, what came up was a big red moray eel, which was estimated to weigh seven kilograms. Looking at the figure of the big red eel, he suddenly felt depressed.
It was soothed.
This is a big red moray eel that strangled itself to death!
After biting the hook, the moray eel likes to curl its body. In the crazy twisting, it becomes more and more entangled with the fishing line, entering an endless loop that cannot be escaped, and finally strangles itself to death.
He cut the limp red moray eel off the hook, threw it into the bucket, and continued to reel in the line.
Then there was another red eel weighing seven or eight pounds. At this time, the bait was still hanging on the hook. This bait was a small fish that Ye Yaodong casually hung yesterday. Because there was no small tube, he hung it casually to try his luck. This bait was unlucky.
The red moray eel only took one bite and couldn't escape.
Life is really unpredictable, the big intestine wraps up the small intestine!
I don’t know why, but there were suddenly a lot more big red eels today.
Surprisingly, another one came up right after, this one was bigger than the previous two, and this time the hook was hung very deep. Maybe the hook was too small, and the moray eel was too big, and it swallowed the hook directly.
It goes in and penetrates its lower jaw.
The moray eel was already terrifying in appearance, but now it opened its huge mouth, revealing its fangs that had never been brushed, and seemed to be roaring in disapproval.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to pick up a knife and perform a small operation on it. He took out the fishhook and threw it on the boat. He would repair it when he took it back at night and threw the fish back into the bucket.
Three more conger eels were harvested at once, and Ye Yaodong's confidence doubled again. He harvested several in a row and there were no empty ones. Except for the front section of the main line that was entangled by a fish hook, the next one should be the same. After all, they all hung up in the sea.
At night, unless the bait is eaten, the big fish will run away.
He happily continued to receive the goods, and sure enough, there were no empty hooks at all, and the worst one was a 5-pound stupid fish. As he expected, the most fish were caught by the squid.
Fortunately, as long as it is not a cheap minnow, it will be fine at most. A pound of catfish is worth 20 cents. If the quality is not good, at least it still has weight and quantity.
After loading the goods one after another, he came across the joint between the two baskets of fishing lines. He looked forward to it again. Oh boy, it was another big red eel, and it was still alive.
After Ye Yaodong dragged it up, he pinched its head, took off his rain boots and knocked it unconscious before removing the hook. If it was so big, if it took a bite, he would lose a large piece of meat.
It's not easy to gain weight these days.
