Chapter 249: More Expensive Than Grouper
"I wonder if it's the sandworms that attracted the baogong fish, or the green willow clams? Why are there so many baogong fish here?"
Zhu Tianpeng followed Liang Ziqiang's example and put two baits, sandworm and green clam meat, on the hook at the same time. Seeing more and more fish being caught, he couldn't figure out which bait was working.
"It should be mainly the green willow clams, right?" Liang Ziqiang estimated, not sure.
After all, although sandworms are also very attractive to fish, they are found on many islands, while green willow clams can be considered a "specialty" of Niu Shit Island, and are most likely one of the reasons why various sea breams come to settle here.
Normally, if they want to eat the green willow clams, they have to find an opportunity, when the clam shells are wide open and the clam meat is fully exposed. Of course, the "hard-toothed monsters" like the spotted bream, which can directly bite through the clam shells, are another matter.
For most sea bream, it is still difficult to eat green willow clams, and it seems a bit out of reach.
Now Liang Ziqiang and his team directly smashed the shells, took out the clam meat inside, and put the long-coveted green willow clams into their mouths. Wouldn’t they be excited to bite the hook? After catching many Bao Gong fish in a row, a bigger surprise came again.
After Liang Ziqiang's fishing rod sank into the water, it was dragged back. There seemed to be a fish under the water, trying to drag the entire fishing rod deep into the reef.
Naturally he would not let it succeed, so Liang Ziqiang decisively lifted the rod.
A fat sea bream with fins as sharp as knives and forks and a body covered with spots was hanging in the air, struggling fiercely, accompanied by a series of hair-raising cutting sounds!
"Spotted sea bream?! You finally waited for this fish to come out!" Zhu Tianpeng seemed to be congratulating Liang Ziqiang.
Congratulations indeed. The last time he passed this island, Liang Ziqiang saw two spotted rock snappers coming out, but unfortunately he only caught one of them with a hand net. This time, in addition to fishing for cow dung, he was hoping to encounter one or two more spotted rock snappers.
If the spotted rock bream goes to Yuehai, it can be sold for more than four yuan, which is twice as much as the Baogong fish that I just caught! This spotted rock bream is also reckless. Seeing that it has been fooled, it directly uses its trump card and bites with its teeth, trying to bite off the fishing line and escape.
But this time Liang Ziqiang used a special steel wire, how could he bite it through?! The sharp teeth rubbed against the steel wire, like the teeth of a saw sawing something hard, which made people's teeth ache.
Liang Ziqiang picked up the desperate spotted sea bream and threw it into the bucket.
When I turned around, I heard my eldest brother say, "My luck has come. I also caught a grouper... cool!"
The word "snakehead" at the end directly became an exclamation. Because just as he was excited, the spotted snapper bit the fishing line, fell into the water next to the reef, and ran away! "This fish needs to be caught like Ah Qiang, using a wire rope!"
Mr. Liang next to him shook his head and sighed.
Next, cow dung snapper, baogong fish and spotted sea bream were all vying to take the bait, and fish would bite the hook from time to time. Of course, the most numerous were black sea bream and cow dung snapper.
Liang Ziqiang caught three grouper sea breams in a row, which made his elder brother very envious.
They did catch some spotted snappers, but each time the hooks were bitten off and they escaped.
Fortunately, they had extra fishing rods on board this time. After the fish broke, they went to change fishing rods. After a few bites, they were bitten again...
The voices of regret never stopped, coming from his father, eldest brother and Zhu Tianpeng, one after another.
There was no other way. Liang Ziqiang was the only one who had a specially modified steel wire fishing tackle. The other fishing rods were all made of nylon ropes, which were not thick enough.
It seems that there are quite a few grouper in this place, but you need attractive bait to lure them out.
Later, Liang's father was very helpful. He pulled the fish out of the water and quickly threw it into the bucket. The spotted bream was a little slow, bit the rope and fell into the bucket.
At this point, all the fishing rods were destroyed by the grouper sea bream, leaving only Liang Ziqiang standing out and still fishing.
The other three people turned from participants into spectators. They all sat there, watching him fishing with greedy eyes.
With nothing to do, those guys started to talk a lot. Whenever Liang Ziqiang hooked a fish, they would inevitably start chatting.
"Huang Jiaoli? How come Huang Jiaoli has joined in the fun!" The eldest brother Liang Tiancheng couldn't help but say when he saw him suddenly catch a big fish with a bright yellow body and bright yellow ventral fins.
"Yellowfin snapper is not cheap anymore!" Liang's father said lightly.
"The yellow-legged crab is usually not this big. It must weigh more than two kilograms!" Zhu Tianpeng also sighed.
The yellowfin snapper, also known as the yellowfin snapper, is also a very popular species of snapper. A snapper over one kilogram can be sold for one yuan, which is almost the same price as the red snapper.
It's really strange, sometimes when a certain type of fish comes, they come in large numbers.
In the morning, a bunch of black porgy and bull dung porgy came, and later there were continuous Baogong fish, and in the afternoon, several spotted porgy appeared and came. Now, yellow-legged porgy are coming one after another, and they are constantly being caught.
In the blink of an eye, he had caught seven or eight yellow-legged fish, some big and some small.
Seeing his father and elder brother sitting there, waiting and watching him fishing alone, Liang Ziqiang felt a little guilty about his one-man show.
"Forget it, I've almost finished fishing, so I'll go back with you guys. There are eight or nine kinds of sea bream that have popped up today, and we've caught so many, that's enough!"
Liang Ziqiang saw that the sun was setting and it was time to return.
When he was about to reel in the hook, he saw the fishing line tremble again and the float sank.
Since there are still fish coming, let’s catch them first.
As he raised his hand, several people exclaimed almost simultaneously.
The fish that was pulled up was dark gray all over, and the gray was so evenly distributed, as if all the light from every inch of its body from head to tail had been eaten away, and not a single inch of sunlight could get in.
It is rare to see someone so black and yet so exquisitely and beautifully black.
Liang Tiancheng and Zhu Tianpeng were still a little unsure and were just amazed, but Liang's father said to Liang Ziqiang with certainty: "Heimao! You caught all the black hair in this net!"
The scientific name of the black-haired fish is Myna spheniscus, and it is not an ordinary fish! Liang Ziqiang was also excited at this moment.
He quickly took the fish off the hook, fearing that he would miss the treasure if he was delayed for even a second.
To be honest, this kind of fish can be compared with the top-quality grouper, the eastern star grouper. Its value is even higher than that of the eastern star grouper!
The cow dung snapper, baogong fish, and spotted rock snapper mentioned above are more expensive than each other, but they are generally within the range of more than one yuan, two to three or four yuan per catty.
Black-haired fish are not at the same level as those! "There are even black-haired fish on this Niu Shi Island?" Liang Tiancheng was very surprised this time.
"I have only come across this kind of fish twice in decades. Ah Qiang, you are lucky. If you try fishing again, you may still find some. Let's wait. It won't be a big deal if we go back later!"
Liang's father had clearly been packing up and preparing to go home, but now that he saw that Aqiang had caught such a big catch, he was in no hurry to go back. He put down the small stool again and planned to sit and watch Aqiang catch a few more waves.
Liang Ziqiang himself didn't want to leave. Who would be willing to leave if they could catch blackfish?
The bait in the bucket was almost gone again, so Zhu Tianpeng picked up some more green willow clams for him and took out the clam meat for him to eat.
Thrown into the water, Liang Ziqiang’s “one-man show” had to continue.
Quite a few fish were caught, but most of them were flathead fish. These fish, which weigh only three or four centimeters, are not very worth fishing for, but there are still quite a few of them.
After a series of flathead and black bream were caught, Liang Ziqiang was about to give up.
After all, black hair fish is too rare, so it is unlikely to get another one.
When the time came and he had to go back, he saw a freshly peeled green willow clam in the bucket, so he cast the last hook in order to avoid wasting.
Unexpectedly, this hook caught another black-haired fish that looked like a black pearl.
This black fish is even bigger than the first one!
