Chapter 133: Winch to fish sharks, man-eating shark appears
At this time, Dahuang actually ran over from the cabin. He was obviously frightened by the shark and his whole body was trembling with his tail tucked between his legs, but he was still baring his teeth at the dead shark in front of him.
Zhang Ze laughed, squatted down and touched its head: "You know how to judge the situation. You only show your loyalty after the shark is dead."
When Dahuang felt the warmth of his master's palm, he stopped baring his teeth and let him touch his head. He even turned around and licked his palm.
Zhang Ze touched it a few times and took it back to the cabin, then went to the kitchen to wash his hands. The salt water prepared earlier had become ice-cold, so he picked it up and drank several sips.
He was no longer thirsty but very hungry, so he picked up the egg cake he had not brought back.
After fishing for sharks for several hours, he was already starving, his body felt soft and weak, and he felt like he had no energy at all.
After eating a few egg cakes and filling his stomach, Zhang Ze's feeling of weakness slowly disappeared.
Dahuang has always been by his side and is now lying at his feet, looking very clingy.
Zhang Ze was a little tired at the moment, so he went to tease the puppy. The puppy's milk teeth hadn't grown out yet, and his finger kept chattering in its mouth.
After playing for a while, Zhang Ze felt less tired. He walked out of the cabin, closed the door and stopped Da Huang from following him out, then came to the stern.
He removed the drum from the fishing rod, pulled out the fishing line and tied it to the winch.
The winch was started and the fishing line was slowly pulled out from the drum and entangled on the winch.
In just a short while, the two thousand meters of fishing line was emptied from the drum.
There were also eight special baits for tiger sharks. Zhang Ze thought it would be easier to fish with a winch, so he just continued fishing.
As for the longline, it is still at the fisherman’s house and has not been brought back yet, so we can only wait until tomorrow.
He tied the fish hook again, without the need for a lead weight, hung the tiger shark bait on it and threw the hook and bait into the water. He started the winch and let the hook and bait sink a little, about ten meters underwater, and then stopped the winch.
Perhaps attracted by the blood of the tiger shark on the deck, Zhang Ze could see fish fins occasionally appearing on the water around the fishing boat.
Obviously, many sharks were attracted here, but the bait did not move, which meant that there were no tiger sharks in the nearby waters. If he wanted to catch tiger sharks, he had to go somewhere else.
Zhang Ze didn't have to target the tiger shark, but the bait was exchanged in ten portions each time, so he wanted to use up the bait first.
But now that other sharks have come, he will not waste this opportunity.
Zhang Ze opened the Magic Bait Mall and found the shark bait.
Then he found that shark baits of various families and genera were generally divided into two categories. For example, the relatively mild sharks such as Squalidae and Scalloped Shark with 100 experience points were one kind of bait, and the relatively ferocious sharks such as Scalloped Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Tiger Shark, Mackerel Shark and so on with 200 experience points were another kind.
The bait exchanged for 100 experience points can be used to catch sharks that are gentle and non-aggressive, while the bait exchanged for 200 experience points can be used to catch sharks that are aggressive and larger in size.
There is no specific family or genus that will produce specific baits; it is rather general.
Zhang Ze thought this was a good idea. There were too many types of sharks, and if you break it down, the number of each family is quite large. If that were the case, he wouldn't know how many types of shark bait he would have to exchange. This way was better.
For example, sharks attracted by the blood of tiger sharks would probably be more ferocious, so he spent two hundred experience points to exchange for ten ferocious shark baits.
After taking back the underwater tiger shark bait and putting on a smaller ferocious shark bait weighing only about ten pounds, Zhang Ze threw the bait back into the water.
When the bait was thrown into the water, the ferocious sharks that were attracted and wandering nearby turned around and gathered at the location of the bait.
Zhang Ze once killed a sharpfin mako shark. This is a shark that may swim the fastest in the water, and female sharpfin mako sharks can grow to about four meters.
Among a group of sharks, a male mako shark about two and a half meters long was moving very fast and bit the bait at the bottom of the water before any other sharks.
When the sharp-nosed mako shark felt the sting in its mouth and realized it had been tricked, it quickly fled.
However, unlike the drum, the winch is not so easy to turn.
Because of the sudden burst of speed, the fishing line suddenly tightened and a huge rebound force was generated, causing the fishhook to pierce into the fish's lips.
The sharp-nosed mako shark was also bounced back by the elastic force of the tightened fishing line. Seeing this, Zhang Ze quickly started the winch.
The power of the winch is beyond the reach of humans. The two-meter-and-five-meter-long sharp-nosed mako shark underwater weighs over two hundred kilograms, but it is completely unable to resist.
He was easily pulled to the surface of the water, his open mouth showing that he looked very ferocious.
The other sharks around were very aggressive and they had already planned to disperse after the bait was snatched away.
However, the sudden struggle of the mako shark immediately aroused their interest.
Large and ferocious sharks will eat their own kind, not to mention that those around them are not of the same kind.
However, they were still a step too late. The mako shark was pulled up by the winch first, and then fell on the rear deck with a snap, and even hit the tiger shark's body.
This mako shark had not consumed any energy at all and was very energetic. It jumped and bit around on the deck, and under normal circumstances it was impossible to get close to it.
But Zhang Ze acted extremely quickly. He took advantage of the shark's inconvenience in moving after it came out of the water, rushed behind it and grabbed its tail. In an instant, the mako shark was sent into the fishing space.
After gaining fifty experience points, he picked up the harpoon and a sharp-nosed mako shark appeared on the deck.
As soon as he appeared, his dart pierced the mako shark's jaw accurately and went straight to its brain.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised when he found that the shark was motionless.
He thought that sharks turning over and being forced to remain still would only happen to sharks such as tiger sharks and great white sharks, but he didn't expect that the shortfin mako shark would also do it.
It seems that most sharks have this characteristic, which makes it easier for him to kill sharks.
As long as he put the shark into the space, it would not pose any threat to him at all.
It only took him about twenty minutes to catch this sharpfin mako shark. It seemed that his method was correct, so he continued to use this method to fish for sharks.
Time passed unknowingly and it was already morning. Although the sun had not yet risen from the sea level, the sky was already slightly bright.
Zhang Ze looked at his watch and it was only a little past five.
In another month, the sun will probably rise at five o'clock.
At this time, the front and rear decks of the fishing boat were almost filled with dead sharks.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Except for the tiger shark at the beginning, the rest are all other types of sharks.
These sharks are all on the bulletin board and should be able to get a lot of rewards today.
It is indeed faster to use a winch to catch big fish. Although it lacks the joy of fighting the fish yourself, the joy of harvesting is no less.
All ten sets of ferocious shark bait have been used up, and a total of eight have been caught.
The time it takes also varies, and some sharks are more difficult to catch than others.
Two of them got off the hook and ran away due to gill washing. This is unavoidable as there is a probability of fish escaping when fishing.
The fishing rod given in the space only has a setting that it will not be damaged, but there is no setting that will prevent the fish from escaping once it is hooked.
The fishery station is not open yet, so Zhang Ze has to catch up on his sleep when he goes back home during the day, and it will be night before he goes out to sea.
So he simply sailed to the vicinity of Lumen Island. Since the fierce shark bait had run out, he used tiger shark bait to fish for a while. He changed the location and wondered if a tiger shark would come. After throwing the bait into the water, Zhang Zegang leaned against the side of the boat to take a rest, but the fishing line was immediately tightened. Apparently there was a big tiger shark near the fishing boat.
He was about to start the winch, but unexpectedly found that the fishing line was straighter than ever before, and even the winch was turning slowly, being dragged by the shark under the water.
"Hiss~" Zhang Ze took a breath of cold air. How big a tiger shark must be to drag the winch! He looked serious. This tiger shark must be very big. He even had a hunch that he might catch the man-eating shark this time.
He started the winch, but instead of pulling the fish back in, he continued to let out the line.
With a winch, he was not afraid that the shark would run too far and he would not be able to pull it back, but he was afraid that the shark would struggle and bite while its strength was not depleted and damage his fishing boat equipment.
As the winch turned and the fishing line was released, Zhang Ze could clearly see the angle of the fishing line gradually rising, and it was obvious that the shark was running away.
The fishing line was paid out about six or seven hundred meters. He stopped the winch and then reeled in the fishing line.
The speed of releasing the line is quite fast, but the speed of reeling it in is much slower.
His winch could easily pull up two tons of fish, but unfortunately, facing the huge tiger shark that might weigh about one and a half tons, and the tiger shark's own strength, it was not so easy for the winch to pull it.
Fortunately, Zhang Ze’s purpose was to consume the shark’s physical strength, until it was tired and didn’t want to move, so as to minimize the danger of this giant tiger shark to himself.
The fishing line kept shaking and swaying, and it was obvious that the tiger shark that was pulled back was washing its gills.
However, the hook was deeply embedded in the fish when it was first hooked. No matter how it struggled, the barb of the hook was firmly embedded in the flesh, making it impossible for it to get rid of the hook in its mouth.
At the same time, the tiger shark's mouth kept opening and closing, and its sharp teeth bit the fishing line again and again.
Unfortunately, the fishing line can only be cut by Zhang Ze himself using scissors, otherwise it will not break.
After more than ten minutes, the tiger shark was pulled from six or seven hundred meters to about one hundred meters. Then he changed the direction of the winch and let out the line again to let the shark run.
The sky gradually brightened and he could see fishing boats on the sea starting today's fishing work.
However, there are still no small wooden boats on the sea. Making money is more important than life, and no one will go out to sea before the man-eating shark is caught.
So Zhang Ze can fish quietly in the waters near Lumen Island without being disturbed by other fishermen.
The tiger shark was tossed back and forth with a winch, and the speed of the winch's line reeling became faster and faster. It was not as difficult as at the beginning. It was obvious that the tiger shark's physical strength had been almost exhausted.
Zhang Ze thought about it and decided to pull the tiger shark to the side of the boat to take a look at the situation first.
He changed the direction of the winch to the line-reeling mode, then picked up the javelin and stood by the side of the ship ready.
The bigger the shark, the more dangerous it is, so he planned to put this tiger shark into the fishing space after it was seriously injured in the water.
