Rebirth of a Fishing Village: Starting From Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 835: You Must Not Let Others Take Advantage

Zhao Dahai looked at it and was extremely nervous. Lei Dayou looked at his second grandfather Zhao Shi who was extremely calm, and smiled and shook his head. The old man was really experienced, and Lei Dayou couldn't compare with him in this respect.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Who do you think can catch the fish first?"

Shi Guangming didn't fish, but smoked a hookah and glanced at Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai thought about it. No one could say who could catch the fish first in fishing. But if he had to say it, it must be the one with more experience and better skills. The second grandfather would have a greater chance.

Lei Dayou used the gun rack pole, which was indeed very labor-saving, but he couldn't feel the seabed conditions including the bite of the fish at the first time, which was far better than the hand silk in the hand of the second grandfather Zhao Shi.

"When it comes to fishing experience or skills, I'm definitely not as good as Uncle Zhao, but fishing is not just about experience and skills, it also depends on luck, right?"

"My skills are not as good as Uncle Zhao, but luck is absolutely 100%!"

Lei Dayou was not convinced, staring at the pole on the gun stand to see if there was any fish biting the hook.

Zhao Shi didn't say anything, holding the line in his right hand and letting it go to 135 meters and stopped, shaking it up and down a few times, without hitting the stone or getting stuck, not in a hurry to let the line go and hit the bottom, gently and slowly let it go about 20 centimeters and stopped, repeating the same action just now, making sure it didn't get stuck before continuing to let it go about 20 centimeters and stopped, gently lifted it twice, didn't continue to let it go, stood up and moved to the side about one meter, and continued to let the line go down.

Zhao Dahai saw this and was very impressed. Zhao Shi was very experienced. It looked like a simple up and down pull. In fact, he was trying to see where the bottom of the sea under the speedboat was stuck and where it was not. After trying twice to confirm that there were rocks underneath, he immediately changed to another position.

This looked easy, but in fact it was very difficult. This was not a few meters of water depth, but more than 130 meters. Without sufficient experience and skills, it was impossible to do it.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou did not have such ability.

Zhao Shi changed positions twice and released the line to about 138 meters.

"Ha!"

"Lei Dayou!"

"But I found the right place! The fish must be here, you just wait and admit defeat!"

Zhao Shi smiled, raised his hand, pulled up a line of about one meter, and then released the line suddenly. The lead weight hit the bottom of the sea hard.

Zhao Shi waited for two or three seconds, pulled it up, and just moved it, and suddenly the whole line rushed out.

Zhao Shi was prepared, and pulled the rope hard with his right hand.

"Wow!"

"Not small! About 20 pounds!"

Zhao Shi's right and left hands were wrapped around the line and pulled it hard, and his right foot kicked on the boat's string.

"Second Grandpa!"

"Is it okay?"

Zhao Dahai was a little worried. It's not that Zhao Shi didn't have the strength to do that. The pulling force of a grouper weighing 20 pounds is indeed not small, but don't look at the second grandpa Zhao Shi who is already 70 years old. He has been fishing at sea for many years and is in very good health. He can definitely pull it. However, the biggest problem with hand-line fishing is that once the fish is hooked, the fishing line is taut and it will be very tight when there is a certain tension.

"Ha!"

"It's okay!"

"I have calluses on my hands from working all my life. Don't look at the tightness of this line, but there is no problem at all."

Shi Guangming waved his hand. Generally, it would be very painful to be tied by a mermaid line, and it would definitely bleed and even the palm or at least the fingers might be broken.

But for people like Zhao Shi and I who have been fishing at sea all our lives, our hands and feet are already covered with thick calluses. Not to mention the tightened line, even if we step on the oyster shells barefoot, there will be no problem, and we will definitely not get cut.

Zhao Dahai carefully looked at the line wrapped around the hands of his second grandfather Zhao Shi, and the thick calluses were like armor. There was indeed no problem, so he didn't say anything.

"Ha!"

"Lei Dayou!"

"Now you know what it means that old ginger is spicy?"

"There are only three of us in the afternoon, but none of us caught any fish, only Uncle Zhao caught a fish!"

Liu Bin lit a cigarette and took a puff. The fish on the hook tried desperately to jump down, but Zhao Shi held it tightly.

"Ah!"

"What else can I say?"

Lei Dayou had to admit it.

Zhao Shi was indeed amazing. In less than ten minutes, there were already fish biting him. He, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin could not compare to him.

Are you using the fact that I, Zhong Shizhu, and Liu Bin didn't use hand fishing but electric fishing reels as an excuse?

It's not that we don't want to use it, it's that we can't use it at all. We don't have the ability to do so. Hand fishing is a traditional and simple method and way of fishing, but it requires more experience and more skills.

Zhao Shi pulled the line hard to hold the big fish on the hook. With the first step of his strength to drill under the bottom, he used his hands alternately, reeling the line up from left to right, and it didn't take long for the fish to be pulled out of the water.

Zhao Dahai had been waiting with a scoop net, and immediately reached out to scoop up the fish and put it on the deck.

"Wow!"

"Old man Zhao!"

"Your luck is really incredible. How did you catch such a big red grouper?"

Shi Guangming looked at the fish pulled out of the water, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was shocked. The water pipe in his hand almost fell into the sea water. He originally thought it was just a blue grouper weighing more than ten or twenty pounds, or a sesame grouper or something like that. What he didn't expect was that after pulling it out of the water, he saw that it was a dark red stone grouper, and then he saw that it was an old red grouper.

Zhao Dahai took off the hook with pliers, pinched the belly of the red grouper with his right hand fingers to see if it was bloated, held it in his hand and put it in the live tank, and it sank to the bottom of the water at once.

Zhao Dahai took a look at the sea bass in the live tank, thought about it, took a scoop net to scoop them up, and moved them to another live tank. The entire huge live tank was left with only one grouper, Red Spot.

"You clearly look down on those sea bass! You know, this is a live 30-jin sea bass, and the price is not low."

Shi Guangming shook his head when he saw Zhao Dahai doing this.

"What can I do? Who said this is the real valuable goods? What about the sea bass? Even if it is 30 jin, I don't put it in my eyes. It is definitely not as good as this 20-jin old red spot!"

"Seeing our speedboat running so far, we burned a lot of gasoline to get here. Such a fish can make money!"

Zhao Dahai looked carefully for a while. There was no problem with the red spot in the live tank. It was alive and kicking, so he was relieved.

This is a real valuable goods. There are many kinds of accidents in the process of pulling up the fish from the bottom of the sea 130 meters.

This time, the fish was caught by hand-line fishing. Zhao Shi had a lot of experience and controlled the speed very well, so there was no problem.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"A speedboat is approaching!"

Zhong Shizhu narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Dahai looked up and saw two speedboats coming towards him, one closer and the other farther away. Needless to say, it must be the red spot that had just been caught that attracted the other party's attention.

Zhao Dahai sneered.

These two speedboats, including another speedboat farther away, were coming towards him. Thinking that he could grab the fish at this point in this way was really thinking too much.

Zhao Dahai didn't pay much attention and immediately took his own rod, but not the rod with a gun mount, but the rod with a hand-cranked spinning wheel. He walked two steps forward and stood at the position where Zhao Shi had just caught the red spot. He let the line go directly and let it go all the way to 135 meters. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to let the line go and hit the bottom.

Zhao Hai had just been watching Zhao Shi fishing. He knew exactly where the fish was caught. He also knew that the place where Zhao Shi caught the fish was a little lower than the surrounding places. If there were any fish within a radius of 10 to 20 meters or even 50 to 60 meters, they would definitely be hiding in this sunken or lower place.

What if the speedboats around came over?

His speedboat was right above the spot where the fish was caught.

These speedboats could only stop at least 7 to 8 meters away from him, and it was impossible to grab the fish.

Zhao Dahai hit the bottom of the sea with a lead weight, shook the spinning wheel, and reeled it up two meters. He did not continue to reel in the line. He held the rod in his hand and swayed gently with the ups and downs of the speedboat.

"Here it comes!"

"Big one!"

Zhao Dahai held the rod with both hands and lifted it up hard. The tip of the rod bent in the opposite direction toward the sea surface.

Zhao Dahai was very experienced and knew that the fish he hooked was quite large, weighing more than 100 jin. He held the rod with both hands to support the force of the fish escaping downwards, and shouted to Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to reel in the line quickly.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Xue Dayou all pushed the switch of the electric reel to the bottom, and the electric reel spun rapidly.

"Ha!"

"This one is really big!"

Zhong Shizhu shouted loudly and looked at the two speedboats that were less than ten meters away at this time, and then looked up at another speedboat that was farther away.

"Haha!"

"It's just a grouper weighing 100 to 80 jin. Isn't it necessary to be so excited? It's not the first time we have caught such a fish!"

Liu Bin was very calm and not excited at all. He was not a person who had never seen the world. He followed Zhao Dahai to go fishing at sea. He didn't know how many groupers weighing 100 to 80 jin were caught, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Ha!"

"We've caught tuna weighing more than 400 kilograms, and this fish is really not that good!"

"But then again, it can definitely be sold for a lot of money. Just for this reason, we have to catch a few more."

Lei Dayou picked up the big iron hook, thought about it, put it down, and picked up the big scoop net. The fish caught by the speedboat with Zhao Dahai and others, especially the big fish, had to be alive as much as possible, so that they could be sold at a better price. The big iron hook would hurt the fish's mouth, and it would not be easy to keep it alive, and even if it was kept alive, it would not last long.

Zhao Dahai waited for the first wave of the big Shiqiong on the hook to end before reeling in the fish, not in a hurry at all.

"Damn!"

"Old man Zhao!"

"Your luck is really invincible!"

Shi Guangming glanced at the bend of the pole in Zhao Dahai's hand, and the arc that came out, and then looked at Zhao Shi, who was standing next to him and smoking a water pipe, and this was not a joke. It takes a lot of luck to catch an old red spot weighing more than 20 kilograms, but even more luck is that the fish Zhao Shi just caught was not the one Zhao Dahai caught now. The two fish were caught in the same place. If it was this one that bit the hook just now, Zhao Shi would definitely not be able to pull it up.

"Ha!"

"What can I do? My luck is so good."

At this time, Zhao Shi really had to admit that his luck was really good. If this fish bit his hook, he would not be able to catch it even if his hand was broken. He could only cut the line.

Zhao Dahai steadily reeled in the fish one by one. After a while, a huge blue spot rushed up from the sea water more than ten meters deep. At first, it was wobbly and slow, but the closer it got to the water surface, the faster it rushed to the sea surface and stopped about half a meter before floating sideways.

Zhao Dahai pulled the line and the fish back to the side of the speedboat.

Lei Dayou stretched out the trawl net in his hand to catch the fish, and pulled it back, and the whole fish slipped into the huge scoop net.

Shi Guangming was a little speechless. The scoop net in Lei Dayou's hand was very large. Not to mention a big fish of 100 kilograms, even a big fish of 150 kilograms or even 200 kilograms could be easily dealt with. It was specially made. Other speedboats running in the open sea would not prepare such a large scoop net. Not to mention a year, there would be no chance to catch such a big fish in two or three years.

Zhao Dahai opened the line of the spinning wheel and the line was loosened.

Zhong Shizhu walked to Lei Dayou's side and the two of them worked together to carry the scoop net to the deck. Although the speedboat was relatively low, it was only more than one meter and less than two meters from the sea surface, but one person really couldn't deal with this fish, and he definitely couldn't lift it up.

Zhao Dahai ignored the fish he caught, took off the hook with pliers and hung a big crab, exactly the same position, and immediately put it into the sea and directly released the line to 135 meters, and immediately hit the bottom.

"Hey!"

"Will there be fish in such a small place?"

Shi Guangming was shocked.

Zhao Dahai had made it very clear when he came here. It was just a very small spot. Generally, there were only one or two fish in such a place.

Zhao Shi caught a red grouper weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Zhao Dahai just caught another blue grouper weighing more than 100 kilograms.

How could there be more fish?

"Old Shi."

"Whether there are fish or not, we just caught one. We can't not try to see if there are more, right?"

"If there are fish, we can fish. If there are no fish, we can't fish. It's just a matter of sharing the wealth. Could it be that others will come here to fish after we leave? If they really catch fish, we will regret it when we know it."

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming felt that there were no fish in this place. One was that they caught two fish, and the other was that these two fish were not small. In addition, grouper fish have their own territory. The spot under the speedboat is too small to accommodate more fish. But this is not important. The important thing is that we must catch more fish with a few rods. There are several speedboats nearby, watching covetously. We must not let others take advantage.
