Chapter 145 Seeing Tiger Spots Again
Previously, all the goods in the ground cage were poured into a bucket, and he did not sort them. Now he had to pick out the small shrimps to use as bait.
Live shrimp worked great as bait yesterday!
He put all the fish and crabs into another bucket, leaving only some shrimps at the bottom. He poured them all onto the boat, freed up the bucket to catch the seawater, and later used it to hold the fish.
After all the preparations were done, he followed the same example as Azheng and Xiaoxiao did yesterday, choosing a larger white shrimp as bait, hoping for a good start to make up for the loss of a row of his ground cages being stolen.
Ye Yaodong confidently hung up the bait, threw the hook into the sea, and waited quietly.
I waited and waited...but I felt something was wrong. Yesterday I was hooked very quickly and I kept getting on the rod. Why is it not working today? Is there no big fish?
I lifted the hook and looked at it. The bait was still there! Could it be because the shrimps were too big and there were no big fish nearby and the small fish couldn't bite them? So there was no movement for a long time.
He tried to take the shrimp off the hook, picked a small one and hung it up, and sure enough, before waiting for a minute, there was movement.
He lifted up the fishing rod and felt happy. It was a huge red fish that weighed two kilograms. When he caught it, its tentacles were still hanging in the air and squirming.
"I let you be greedy, now it's over, right?"
Taking it off the hook, the big guy immediately wrapped its tentacles around his arm.
Ye Yaodong could only put down the fishing rod, free up his other hand, and grab it from his arm, but it refused to give up and kept hanging on his hand. However, it was big and its tentacles were too long, so it was really caught again.
It's entangled.
This sticky soft thing was really troublesome. He used both hands to throw the big red seal into the bucket. Its slippery mucus remained on his arms. It was so disgusting.
I heard that the octopus is the most intelligent among fishes.
After the anatomy, experts said that it not only has three hearts, but also has two memory systems. Some people say that this octopus may have nine brains, because each of its arms has independent thinking ability.
He even once saw it in a short video, saying that it was proved in some scientific experiments that the octopus has complex thinking, and his intelligence may not be lower than that of a six or seven-year-old child.
It's a pity that technology is underdeveloped now. Let alone watching videos, most of the big brothers have not yet entered their country.
Fortunately, he doesn't stick to his cell phone either. In his last life, he didn't even have anyone to call with his cell phone, so forget it as a son. If he can make one call in half a month, that's pretty good.
The purpose of his mobile phone is to watch videos and pass the time.
He is now busy making money every day, sleeping at night and getting up at dawn. He is very fulfilled and does not need a mobile phone to kill time.
After catching such a big octopus, his confidence increased greatly. He felt that it was probably because no big fish came just now, and he should wait patiently for a while.
He hung up the bigger white shrimp without giving up, threw the hook into the sea, then took a small stool and sat there, lowering his hat. It was already autumn, and they were still hot during the day.
to death.
This time he waited patiently. After waiting for almost five minutes, the fishing rod finally moved. He stood up and pulled up the fishing rod with a smile on his face.
"What a fool! Are you so greedy? Why did I wait so long?"
Although this one looks like it weighs four to five kilograms, the value of this fish is really...too low!
The purchase price was only two or three cents, which was nothing to sell. He untied the herring from the hook in frustration, threw it into a bucket, took it back and cut it into sections for marinating in a small basin.
Now he didn't dare to use big shrimps as bait anymore. If he was still stupid, wouldn't it be a waste of time? The same bait can catch five or six taels, and a fish of about one kilogram is enough.
Another small shrimp was hooked up, and this time the hook was hooked quickly. In just ten seconds, the fishhook felt like it was pulling.
"Damn it, such a big Shi Jiugong?"
As soon as Ye Yaodong pulled up the fishhook, he saw a red fish. He thought he had seen it wrong, so he pulled the fishing line closer, only to see that it was really Shi Jiugong!
"Isn't it rare to see such a big Shi Jiugong?"
There was a small wooden boat nearby that happened to be rowing to this area. I saw him fishing and came over to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect to see him lifting the pole.
He smiled and looked over. This man was not from their village. "Good luck, I have never seen such a big Shi Jiugong."
Although this fish is not big in size, it has a big mouth and has a variety of food habits and will eat anything.
"Is it half a catty?"
"almost!"
"That's ok. You bring your fishing rod to go fishing, it's quite leisurely. I've only seen this Shi Jiu Gong in two or three taels in the past. This one must be Shi Jiu Gong. It's quite rare."
"Yeah." He smiled and unhooked the fish from the hook and continued to bait.
The man also found it interesting and was reluctant to leave. He stopped directly next to his boat.
Ye Yaodong also felt bored alone, so he struck up a conversation with him when he had nothing to do, "Are you interested, uncle? It would be nice to make your own fishing rod and go fishing on the sea next time."
"Haha, that's what I thought. Today's calm weather is quite suitable for fishing. Who do you belong to?"
"My father is Ye Jianzhang. It was him who caught a large yellow croaker some time ago! I am the third oldest, Ye Yaodong."
The uncle suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out to be Ye Laosan's family. I know you, Dad. I am from Xishan Village next door. You go back and tell your father about Lin Laoliu. He must know that we ran on a big boat together a few years ago."
"
"Oh, hehe...here he comes..."
While he was talking, he hit the target again. Unexpectedly, it was another stupid one. It was better than nothing, so he threw it back into the bucket.
"You're quite fast on the pole, and the fish you catch are pretty big, right?"
"I use shrimps as bait. Fish that are too small can't be bitten. They have to be at least half a kilogram or more. These are the small shrimps I took specially for this moment. I just caught one weighing about four or five kilograms with larger shrimps.
It's stupid, not a good product, and the hooking speed is a bit slow, so I just use the smallest shrimp, at least it can be hooked quickly."
"It's true that big fish are difficult to catch and there are only a few of them."
He took out a small red shrimp that was almost like a shrimp and put it on the bait. Let's see what can be caught with such a small bait.
After waiting for a while, there was another Shi Jiugong, which was pretty good. Shi Jiugong was also worth a lot of money.
"He has a big mouth and is greedy, so he is destined to be easily taken advantage of." Lin Laoliu muttered with enthusiasm.
"Haha, you are indeed greedy."
Ye Yaodong thought it would be good to catch more Shi Jiugong, so he went fishing with extra small shrimps one after another. Unexpectedly, he got hooked on several Huangshan fish and two red seals, both weighing about six or seven taels, and one Huangshan fish weighed more than one kilogram.
Already.
Huangshan fish is the name of the local people. It is called Huanggu fish. It is also a good thing. It looks like a large yellow croaker. It is usually steamed. It costs 70 to 80 cents per pound.
Seeing him fishing one after another and getting good results, Lin Laoliu was very excited and itchy. He wished he could go home quickly and make a fishing rod for fishing, but he couldn't bear to leave at this moment, he really wanted to go fishing again.
Watch for a while and see what other fish you can catch.
"You always fish with shrimps, why don't you try fishing with fish meat? See what kind of fish you can catch?"
"It's not much different. There are only these fish in our sea area. Even if you want to catch big ones, you won't be able to catch them."
"Try it."
"It's okay." Anyway, there is no loss for him, and it doesn't make any difference what kind of fishing he uses.
He took a small fish. There were no scissors or other tools on the boat, so he cut off small pieces of fish meat and put the bait directly on it.
Lin Laoliu watched for a long time using shrimps as bait, and was curious whether using fish meat as bait would catch anything different? He kept staring at it, "It's moving, it's moving."
"Holy shit, Tiger Spot!"
He looked even more nervous and excited than Ye Yaodong, and his saliva was spitting out.
"Grass... this one weighs at least two pounds!"
Ye Yaodong was also excited and quickly untied the fish, holding it in his hands and looking through it. The body of the fish was dark brown, with spots and distinct black and brown markings. Although it was an ordinary species of grouper, it was not a grouper.
?
Among the fish in this bucket, it is the most valuable one.
The corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and when he was about to put it in the bucket, his tail flicked it, causing it to slip and fail to hold it properly.
Grass……
At this moment, his heart suddenly rose, his pupils contracted and he stared at the parabola in mid-air. He quickly picked it up with both hands, weighed it several times, and exclaimed, "Oh, yo... yo..."
But don’t, fetching water with a bamboo basket will be in vain!
Bang...it fell on the fishing boat!
He breathed a sigh of relief, as he had been panicking just now.
"Made, I was scared to death. I thought I was going to let it fall back into the sea."
At that moment, Lin Laoliu's heart was pounding and he was screaming, wishing he could rush over to pick it up, for fear that this treasure would fall into the sea.
"Oh my God, it's okay. Fortunately, it fell off the boat and it's still there. Hurry up and pick it back up in the bucket."
Without his reminder, Ye Yaodong knew that he had to quickly pick up the jumping tiger stripe and throw it into the bucket. If it jumped back into the sea, he would cry...
"Ah Dong, you've got a good harvest. It's such a big Shi Jiugong from Huangshan Mountain, and there are other good products. Finally, there's a tiger stripe, which is worth several dollars." Lin Laoliu
He stretched his neck and looked at the contents in his bucket, saying with envy.
"It's not bad. You can also build a fishing rod and come fishing tomorrow. Maybe you can catch a lot of good things." Ye Yaodong said with a cheerful smile.
Everyone saw that he fished in the sea here, and the harvest was pretty good. Whether he said it or not, Lin Laoliu would definitely get a fishing rod when he went back.
This is the herd mentality that most people have!
He smiled and said, "That's what I think. I just don't know if it's good for fishing."
Having just caught a tiger stripe, Ye Yaodong was in a good mood and said generously: "I'll lend you a fishing pole!"
"Really, that's so embarrassing!"
"It's okay, just give it a try and return it to me after you catch one rod."
He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give it to you no matter what fish I catch. I'll try to catch it and see."
Chapter completed!
