Chapter 109: Letting others help me fish, my heart can't bear it
"Look, I have another grouper." Zhang Ze seemed to be showing off and picked up another three-jin grouper to tease Zhang Qinghe.
Take advantage of my luck? Are you kidding me? I am cheating, okay?
Zhang Qinghe was almost unable to hold back. He had seen the continuous fishing and had tried it himself. The hairtail was very good, but the continuous fishing of grouper was too much! Why did he catch two black porgy, while others caught five fish, and all of them were grouper?
Zhang Qinghe suddenly realized that he didn't come here because of luck at all, he was clearly sending bad luck here, and even the little luck he had was sucked away by Zhang Ze.
I can't afford to offend you, I'll just slip away! "You're so cruel!" Zhang Qinghe quickly packed up his things and left in disgrace, returning to his front deck to pretend that he didn't see anything.
Zhang Ze chuckled and didn't take it seriously.
He had seen fellow anglers nearby catching fish one after another, but nothing happened on his side. He knew this feeling very well.
Especially when you spend thousands of dollars to rent a boat to go to the high seas, it is the most difficult to endure when you want to make back your money.
It’s a pity that nowadays, let alone electric spinning rods, there is not even a proper boat rod.
Hand fishing line can indeed be used to catch deep-sea fish, but unfortunately the efficiency is too low.
Nine out of ten baits were quickly used up. Zhang Ze hung the last grouper bait and threw it into the water, with no intention of exchanging it any more.
Ten portions of grouper bait have attracted all the groupers here. Then he exchanged them for ten portions of ordinary bait, which can further attract the groupers at the bottom of the water to gather, and also attract other fish nearby, forming a very good nesting effect.
As for hanging fish bait, put an iron cage around it to use the bait as nesting material, and then use ordinary fish bait to fish.
Zhang Ze felt that it was not very reliable. The fish that were attracted here could not bite the bait and kept being attracted. How could ordinary bait make them bite the hook?
If the fish really took the bait, Zhang Qinghe, who was fishing with him, would not be affected so much.
Not to mention before, just now, I caught five groupers, but he only caught two black sea breams. Isn’t it because grouper bait is not very attractive to black sea breams?
As for casting nets, when fish gather in schools, such activities may not necessarily yield results faster than fishing.
The effect of guiding the player into the fishing net might be better, but the fishing space also gave any BUG prompts before. He felt that it was unlikely to succeed, but he could try again when he had time.
As he was thinking, the fishing line in his hand tightened and a huge force was transmitted to him.
"Oh my god, I'm so lucky today that I caught such a big fish?" After coming back to his senses, Zhang Ze immediately went to find the bug and tightened the fishing line with excitement, to prevent the line from being too slippery and the fish from slipping away.
It has been so long since he was reborn. Except for the last time when his fishing rod broke and he was unable to resist the great white shark, today he finally got a big fish that he could handle and it was very powerful.
Zhang Ze leaned against the side of the boat for leverage and held the fishing line tightly with both hands.
The fishing line wrapped around the gloves became tighter and tighter due to the two huge forces, and it hurt his hands a little.
What kind of fish is this? Is it so difficult to deal with?
Images of large and strong fish such as red snapper, yellow snapper, and trigger fish flashed through Zhang Ze’s mind.
It can't be grouper, right?
There are super-large groupers in the East China Sea, so it is not impossible that they are attracted by his grouper bait.
He was instantly excited when he thought of this. The largest grouper he had ever caught was a large blue grouper weighing just over 50 kilograms. If he caught another grouper weighing more than 10 kilograms, he could show off for a month.
He leaned against the side of the boat and kept wasting his energy with the fish. Whenever the fish wanted to stop to rest, he would take the opportunity to pull it back a little and give it a hard tug. The fish, feeling the pain, would struggle again and waste its energy.
Zhang Ze himself didn't know how much time had passed. He was now covered in sweat. Fortunately, he was able to lean on the side of the boat for leverage, so the actual physical exertion was not very great.
This also shows that although the fish is big, it does not exceed the standard.
Feeling the force in his hands getting weaker, Zhang Ze knew it was time, so he began to slowly reel in the fishing line.
The water here is not that deep, only about twenty meters. At the beginning, the fishing line was pulled out more than thirty meters, and then Zhang Ze slowly pulled it back, so the fish was quickly pulled out of the water.
"Huh, is it a big sturgeon?" He was a little disappointed when he saw that it was not a grouper, but when he saw that it was a sturgeon he thought it was pretty good.
Compared with red snapper and others, the actual value of such a big sturgeon is actually higher.
Now it is not like in later generations where all big fish have higher unit prices than small ones. The unit price of fish like red snapper hardly changes.
But the cod is different, the belly is valuable! Small cod is not valuable, that is because the fish maw is too small. The yellow croaker can be sold for more than 40 cents now, also because the fish maw is valuable.
If the isinglass of large yellow croaker has no value, its price may not be much better than that of small yellow croaker. There is no concept of hyping large yellow croaker now.
Thinking of isinglass, Zhang Ze suddenly exclaimed in his heart: “Shit!”
It seemed that I had planned to collect fish maws from the fishermen on Lumen Island, but I completely forgot about it.
If he hadn't caught such a big sturgeon today, he would probably have continued to forget about it for a while.
It was difficult to collect isinglass then, but now it is no longer a problem.
When I returned to Wenshui City, I went to the market to ask about the market conditions. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any friends from other places, otherwise I would have made more money by selling to other places.
While thinking about what to do next, he did not stop working. When he was about to pull the fish to the side of the boat, he suddenly shouted, "Qing He, quickly bring me the hook I asked someone to make. I caught a big fish."
"Big fish! How big is it?" Zhang Qinghe heard the shout and hurried over with the hook in his hand. When he reached the stern and stretched his head out, he immediately exclaimed "Oh my God!"
"Stop screwing up and help pull the fish up." Zhang Ze urged again and again. He was afraid that the fish would get off the hook if it struggled.
There are many cases in the fishing world where people are about to reel in a big fish, but then the fish gets away, and he doesn't want to be one of them.
“Okay, okay.” Zhang Qinghe quickly stretched out the hook and tried to pierce the fish with the tip of the hook, but he missed the first time.
Zhang Ze panicked at that time: "Look carefully, aim at the head!"
"I know, I know, don't rush me!" Zhang Qinghe was a novice himself and had only learned how to use the hook once. He felt a little nervous after being urged.
He aimed at the fish's head and was about to take action when the time came, but the fish suddenly struggled and changed its position so that its belly was facing the hook.
Zhang Ze was so scared that he quickly shouted to stop: "Don't move, don't move, it's over the fish's belly. If you hook it, my fish's belly will be gone."

He was already numb now, but it happened to be a fishing boat. If it was a fishing boat, he could just pull the fish to the small gate and drag it up directly. Why would he be so frightened?
Fortunately, Zhang Qinghe was still aiming and didn't hook it, otherwise it would be useless for him to shout stop.
But now Zhang Ze didn't dare to let him come again, his heart couldn't take it.
"Help me hold the fishing line, I'll do it myself."
Zhang Qinghe took the fishing line with a wry smile and pulled it in. Zhang Ze picked up the hook himself and quickly and accurately inserted it deep into the area below the fish's head, hooking it firmly. No matter how the fish struggled, it could not get free.
This was not a fatal injury, but the sturgeon struggled for a while and then slowly became motionless. However, it was still alive. The two took this opportunity to grab the hooked handle and pulled the fish up.
"Wow, this sturgeon is almost as tall as me!" Zhang Qinghe couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the big sturgeon on the ground. Having seen a six-meter great white shark, he didn't make a fuss like before.
"This one is probably the king of fish. It's the first time I've seen such a big sturgeon. Go get the beam scale and weigh it." Seeing that the sturgeon was almost cold, Zhang Ze quickly found an excuse to send Zhang Qinghe away.
Zhang Qinghe did not doubt it and was really interested in the weight of the big sturgeon, so he ran to the tool warehouse to get a beam scale.
After he left, Zhang Ze quickly put the sturgeon, which was still breathing, into the space. If he waited any longer, it would die and he would not be able to put it in.
[Successfully caught a sturgeon, weighing 108.17 catties, experience (fish king critical hit) +200. ]
Zhang Ze blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that catching a big fish could give him experience points and a critical hit. This reminded him of the sea oil crab, which also gave him critical hit experience points because of its high pathological value.
Ordinary blue crabs can increase two experience points, while a critical hit from a sea oil crab can increase twenty.
An ordinary sturgeon gains two experience points, but the fish king gives it two hundred. Is this a difference of ten times or a hundred times?
So the fishing space also subdivides the experience points of small bosses and big bosses? "If you want to play like this, I'll be motivated!" Zhang Ze suddenly felt the pleasure of beating the boss to get experience points, but it was a pity that it didn't drop gold coins and equipment, otherwise he would like it more.
At this moment, a huge sturgeon suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhang Ze was stunned, and when he looked at the space again, he found that the sturgeon inside was gone. He did not issue any command, and it was obvious that the sturgeon was actively expelled from the fishing space.
Looking at the sturgeon again, it turned out to be dead.
If a fish is seriously injured, it will die even in the fishing space. Only uninjured fish can stay alive in the space.
This made Zhang Ze think deeply. It seemed that he would have to go fishing near the winch in the future.
If there is a big fish, tie a rope around its tail and then pull it up with a winch.
Regardless of whether the fish needs to be stored in the space or not, there must be room for use at all times.
At this time, Zhang Qinghe also came back with a large bamboo basket and a beam scale. Although he already knew the weight of the fish, he still cooperated to weigh the bamboo basket first, and then put the fish into the bamboo basket to weigh it.
The weight measured is the same as in space, but not as accurate to two decimal places.
"One hundred and eight kilograms, this is truly the king of sturgeons!" Zhang Qinghe was really envious. Today, Zhang Ze caught both a grouper and the king of sturgeons.
He only had a few small fish, so he now doubted whether his behavior of going to the stern of the boat was right or not, and whether his luck was really sucked away by Zhang Ze.
Then the two of them carried the sturgeon into the fish hold together, and Zhang Ze spread the prepared ice cubes on it.
Normally, the fish should be sent back to Wenshui City as soon as possible to be sold, but the newly gathered fish nests cannot be wasted, and the hooks can be collected again after two hours.
There is nothing wrong with wrapping the sturgeon in ice for a day, but it just won't be as fresh as when you first catch it.
