Chapter 482 Fat Tuna Breaks the Record(1/2)
After being disturbed by the killer whales.
Those who didn't catch the fish understood that all the fish in the sea should have run away at this moment and have missed this rare opportunity.
The captain saw that the figure that was originally moving at high speed on the radar disappeared and stopped sailing.
He turned off the engine, lit a cigarette and walked out the door, and looked at the anglers running around on the deck with a smile.
Bluefin tunas, even if they are almost powerless, will not stop.
Because "stop" is the same word for them as "death". Without the flow of water to hit their gills, bluefin tuna cannot breathe.
So some relatively weak bluefin tuna gradually slowed down after more than an hour
One of the sailors was sweating profusely, his chest was like a bellows, and he kept gasping for breath.
He also laughed and said, "Look! I can definitely catch this fish!
He is at least two meters long! He is considered a big guy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and took a knife, cutting off the only bond between himself and the bluefin tuna.
Han Xuan was surprised by his actions, and someone on the other side shouted: "I am a little bigger than yours, more than two meters two meters away.
I really can't bear to bear it. This is the first time I have caught such a big guy."
After saying that, he also cut off the fishing line.
The small bluefin tuna was released one by one by one by them. After they were not bound, the tuna gradually recovered and swam farther, dived into the sea, and disappeared.
The fish that can be caught just by looking at it.
I fought hard and spent more than an hour to catch the fish.
Just let it go?
Han Xuan looked up and asked the captain who walked beside him, "Why do they do this?"
"Release the animals, continue fishing, these bluefin tunas will die.
Fish as much as you need, and you cannot kill for entertainment. If it is for eating or selling, God will not blame it for this."
The captain walked a few meters away from the boy, continued to smoke, and said, "The hooks were not barbed. After cutting the rope, the hooks would fall off soon.
Even if they don't fall off, they won't die, but they can't eat a few days ago.
When I was young, I found six rusty hooks in the mouth of a grouper, which were like barbs, and they lived well.
Recently, people's concept of protecting marine life has become stronger. Unless they are fishing for special fish, such as eels, they do not use barbed hooks at other times.
don’t worry.
Look, they have already wandered and will be fine.”
"But such a valuable fish is willing to let it go like this?" Han Xuan agreed with this approach, but he really couldn't figure it out.
"Value? Bluefin Tuna?
It's OK, it's almost ten dollars per pound.
The boat is private, we have a high salary, and the additional condition is that we are not allowed to fish at will. Many people are staring at our boss, especially those animal protectors.
I remember that in 1972, the Japanese came to Canada to buy bluefin tuna, which was only a few cents a pound.
Nowadays, more people like to eat this kind of fish. The prices have risen sharply in recent years, but they are difficult to catch."
When Han Xuan heard the captain's indifferent tone and the price of bluefin tuna he mentioned, he immediately didn't know what to say.
Last time there was a yellowfin tuna stranded on the beach. It happened that the employees of the Snow Mountain Investment Company came to a party and ate some of them. The animals also ate a lot, and the rest were all distributed to others, so it was not clear about the specific price.
Compared with the bluefin tuna that can be used to move hundreds of dollars per kilograms, I don’t know how many times cheaper it is now!
The fish king can even be sold for millions of dollars in Japan every year!
Han Xuan murmured to himself that in twenty years, the number of bluefin tuna will drop sharply, and these people will regret it so much that their intestines will be blue.
Zaitsev, who was next to the railing, also cut the rope.
He caught a big tuna of about 2.5 meters, and when he let it go, he walked over and sat on the open space on the deck.
He took the captain's words and smiled: "We only have one fish, these are protected animals.
There was a bluefin tuna that he had killed himself just now. It was bitten by a shark and could still be eaten, so keep it.
We enjoy the fishing process, but we don’t sell it for money, and it’s useless to catch more.
Look at my hands, they are still shaking, it's so exciting!"
Unexpectedly, these second-generation ancestors paid great attention to protecting animals. Han Xuanchao was still competing with the big tuna and said, "Let's put it off too!"
“No, no!
Ours are small tuna, what a pity you put this one!
Maybe it can break the largest bluefin tuna record now, but I forgot the specific number.
It's too far away to see the length clearly. It must be over the age to breed, so catch it.
With its size, it will take several hours to catch it.
This time I used an 80kg fishing line, I don’t know if I can last until the end…”
Harris's mahi, who was eaten at noon, is now sitting cross-legged by the deck, concentrating on continuing to fish.
Isabelle completely thought it was a traveler.
Her bodyguards caught several species of fish, and even a large octopus!
At that time, I caught a salmon first, and then the octopus used the salmon as prey.
When he was caught, he still held the salmon and refused to put his paws on his head. Han Xuan planned to make it into octopus meatballs, or takoyaki, and so on. He hadn't eaten it for a long time.
In addition to the original sailfish and Jason's lackey, the big marlin that hit his boat was actually enough to eat for a long time.
However, Zaitsev said that this big tuna no longer has the ability to reproduce, and it doesn’t matter whether it can be caught or not.
It gradually came early at 3:00 p.m.
The other sailors have finished fishing, and the experience at noon is enough for them to digest for a long time.
At this moment, we were all looking at the bluefin tuna in the sea.
After the initial struggle, I just need to hold the fishing rod and not let go in the next time, and occasionally deal with the resistance of the tuna, which saves a lot of effort.
Everyone on the boat tried it, and Han Xuan was no exception to the sense of power brought by this big tuna.
In "The Old Man and the Sea", the big marlin can drag the old fisherman's boat, and the BB has no such concern.
Bluefin tuna can only spin in place or swim back and forth on both sides to ensure that the fishing line does not relax and there is no possibility of decoupling.
The bluefin tuna that had accidentally collided with a man-eating shark before, had no tail.
After measurement, the length is 2.15 meters, and if the part that was bitten off is added, it will probably be about 2.6 meters.
At this moment, it was hanging with the swordfish and the marlin with an iron hook. After the blood was released, it was temporarily stored in the refrigerator room, without giving bacteria and parasites a chance to reproduce.
The horizon gradually turned red.
The bb is moving along the ocean current and can already see the coastline of Shiqili Bay.
Starting from the hooking of this bluefin tuna, a total of four hours and fifty minutes have passed.
Now, it finally accepts its fate.
After struggling for half a minute, my belly floated on the sea and gradually sank.
When George started to close the line, he floated back.
After pulling it close, a sailor jumped into the sea, tied a chain at its tail, and then hung it onto the deck with a crane.
Very beautiful fish, with no extra space on its body and beautiful lines.
I heard that many torpedoes borrowed their bodies at first.
When Han Xuan saw it, the mouth of the bluefin tuna was still opening and closing, and he no longer had the strength to continue moving.
Reeves found the knife and stabbed it hard from the spine where its head and body were connected.
He said to Harris, who looked scared, "It is now equivalent to a human hypoxia state, but it feels comfortable if he dies."
"Well, I know the book says that sometimes cruelty is also kind of kindness."
After pulling out the knife.
Reeves asked someone to find something, blocked the wound, and the blood was part of the weight.
Zaitsev hurriedly took the tape measure.
The crew members suddenly became nervous. For them, catching a big fish that broke the record was equivalent to breaking the world record at the Olympic Games.
The tape measure is close to the surface of the tuna skin, measured from beginning to end.
Zaitsev's half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide at the moment of seeing the numbers, and said in surprise: "432.7 cm! It seems to be a record-breaking!"
"No."
