Chapter 213 Hammerhead Shark
Since they didn't need to take a shower, Zhang Ze was too lazy to care about them for the time being. After all, he was catching a big fish! As time passed, the big fish's explosive endurance was very strong. It carried 60 kilograms of unloading force and ran more than 1,200 meters. The fishing line in the fishing reel was visibly reduced by one third.
Fortunately, it finally got tired and stopped for a while, but more than half an hour had passed at this time.
The fact that he was able to run so far was also due to the fact that Zhang Ze didn't put in too much effort to stop him.
If he tried harder, he might be able to keep the fish within 800 meters, but that would be very tiring.
But even so, it shows that the fish under the water is big enough.
The big fish that was resting at this time did not give up struggling and lie down immediately. Instead, it looked as if all its strength was exhausted.
At present, the big fish can no longer sustain the high-speed swimming, so it slows down to take a break. In fact, it is still very difficult to pull the fish back in this state.
The fishing rod was still bent and the fishing line was still taut, but Zhang Ze had to start trying to reel in the line. If he kept running, he wouldn't know when he would catch any fish.
He still did not take the fishing rod down and put it against his stomach. Instead, he grabbed the crank, which was rotating much slower, with his right hand and began to reel in the line quickly.
Why do fishermen have well-developed arms? Isn't it because of this training? His fishing method is a bit like trolling, with the fishing rod on the side of the boat and the fisherman is only responsible for turning the handle to reel in the line.
But even so, it is very physically demanding, just like using a Z-type starter to start a tractor in winter. Even if you start the tractor, you will become numb from the rotation and the tractor will not start.
After retrieving about twenty meters of fishing line, the crank that had been turning got stuck there.
The fishing rod bent again and the fishing line became tighter. It was obvious that the fish was exerting force again.
However, the strength this time was much weaker than before. Any animal would get tired after sprinting for more than half an hour! How could it be possible to compare to the previous burst without rest?
So Zhang Ze held the fishing rod tightly, and he couldn't let the fish escape at this time, unless the fish was still much stronger than him.
But he is not an ordinary person, and the effect of the physical BUFF is always in effect.
Compared with a month ago, his physical fitness has improved by about three levels across the board.
Zhang Ze has tried it privately and found that he can lift 600 kilograms of weight with a shoulder pole. With this strength, he can support his family by moving bricks instead of fishing.
With the help of the fishing rod, he successfully withstood the second round of attacks from the big fish.
This time the fish didn’t last long. After only three or four minutes, its strength weakened again. It was obvious that its physical strength had exceeded the red line, and each outburst could not last long.
Zhang Ze knew the time was almost right, so he took out the fishing rod and placed it against his stomach, then he raised the rod and reeled in the fishing line.
Fortunately, he knew he was going to catch a big fish, so he put on a belly belt in advance, otherwise his solid abdominal muscles would have suffered.
The fish in the sea are becoming increasingly tired and their strength is gradually decreasing.
As Zhang Ze kept lifting the rod and reeling in the line, the amount of fishing line in the fishing reel gradually began to increase.
This time he spent five or six minutes reeling in the fishing line. Only after he pulled the fish within a thousand meters did the fish have enough rest.
Five or six minutes was enough time for the big fish to recover some of its strength, and the stinging pain in its mouth continued to stimulate it, causing it to go crazy again.
A huge force was felt and Zhang Zeren could not stand still. He immediately took two steps forward and leaned against the side of the boat.
Jin Sanbao, who was watching from a distance while smoking, immediately said the same thing he learned from Zhang Ze: "What kind of fish is this Ze catching? It's been more than 40 minutes, how come he still has the strength to pull him?"
Jin Fan showed an envious look in his eyes: "That must be a very big fish. You all know how strong Aze is. He can still pull him at this time. I think this fish is at least over 300 kilograms."
Chen Xudong is usually quite silent, but he joined the chat this time.
He shook his head: "I feel it's more than that. This fish may be 400 kilograms, or even more than 500 kilograms."
"Hiss~ 500 kilograms, you really dare to think so." Jin Sanbao took a deep puff of his cigarette, "How big is this 500-kilogram fish?"
Jin Fan imagined in his mind: "We need five bamboo baskets to carry five hundred kilograms of fish."
After getting this answer, the three of them looked at each other, and then sighed together: "Another day of envying Aze."
However, Chen Xudong was silent for a moment and then said, "Now our houses are being built, and we have everything we need for food and clothing. How about saving some money and buying a boat with a fish finder together?"
Jin Sanbao's eyes lit up: "Of course, Aze usually catches a lot of fish, isn't it just because of the convenience of the fish finder!"
Jin Fan also nodded repeatedly: "Not only Aze, his brother-in-law and his family are trawlermen, but they always come back with a lot of fish. I heard him say that they use fish finders to find the fish schools."
"But how much does a boat with a fish finder cost?"
Chen Xudong thought for a moment and replied, "I remember hearing Aze briefly mention it before. He wanted a metal boat with few functions. If it only had simple functions like a fish finder, the price might only be seven or eight thousand, or at most ten thousand."
"We don't need a navigation system. It's not that expensive."
Hearing this, Jin Sanbao understood: "So, the three of us have to save at least ten thousand yuan to buy a new boat!"
Jin Fan nodded. "About 3,500 yuan per person. This old wooden boat can be sold in due course, and the money from the sale can be used as daily expenses for the new boat's initial voyage."
The three of them would calculate their daily expenses and income clearly, and would have 500 yuan for daily expenses. When they had spent most of the money, the three of them would each contribute to make up for the difference.
The accounts were clearly settled, so there were no problems in their cooperation with each other.
They are childhood friends who know each other well, and their relationship has become stronger after buying a boat and going out to sea together, so they plan to continue to cooperate by buying a new boat.
While the three of them were gathered together to discuss the new boat, the time required to deposit the money, etc., Zhang Ze on the other side was still fighting with the big fish with sweat all over his face.
He didn't expect that the big fish, which had only rested for five or six minutes, would suddenly become full of energy again, and he couldn't pull it together for a while.
Although he tried hard to hold the crank handle with his right hand, it still spun outwards uncontrollably.
"What kind of fish is this? It's harder to catch than marlin." Zhang Ze's arm muscles bulged and looked noticeably bigger. It was obvious that he was using all his strength.
As for what he said was harder to fish than marlin, it was just talk. In fact, the fish at the bottom of the water did not give him as much pressure as the marlin.
At that time, there was someone helping to catch the marlin, and it took an unknown amount of time before we started fishing back until we were completely exhausted. The pressure was naturally not as great as this fish.
It is normal to spend several hours fishing for a big fish weighing several hundred kilograms.
Zhang Ze also knew this. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Just based on the enthusiasm for the big fish under the water, it would take at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening for him to catch the fish by himself.
Besides, he will probably be very tired by then, and it is hard to say whether he will have the energy to fish after letting out the longline.
In order to avoid being too tired, Zhang Ze decided to call for external help.
There was nothing he could do. Jin Sanbao and the others just watched him. He couldn't cheat and wrap the fishing line around the winch, so he could only ask them to come and help.
After a while, Zhang Ze felt the force coming from the fishing rod weaken. He knew that the big fish had started to rest again, so he shouted, "Come and help me, the three of you. I can't catch this fish by myself."
"Fuck, and you can't handle the fish?"
Jin Sanbao himself wanted to try the feel of this big fish, and Zhang Ze’s call was exactly what he wanted.
So he hurried over to start the boat, but he did not forget to tease him before starting.
"There are too many fish that I can't handle. The organization needs you, come quickly." Zhang Ze was of such an old age in his previous life that he would never be the kind of person who would try to show off his strength.
You will need help from others at this time, so there's nothing wrong with admitting you're a coward.
Soon, Jin Sanbao and the other two came over. Zhang Ze took the opportunity to install the fishing rod on the base and handed it to them when they arrived.
The first one to come up was Jin Sanbao. He grabbed the crank and the crank turned uncontrollably, which made him widen his eyes immediately: "What the hell, what kind of fish is this? It took you so long to catch it and it still has so much strength?"
"Hurry up and use some strength. I have managed to control the fishing line within a thousand meters. Don't wait for me to come over and the fishing line will be out of fifteen hundred meters."
"Fuck, who are you looking down on?"
Jin Sanbao immediately exerted his strength, and his dark face immediately turned red, becoming dark red.

The way he gnashed his teeth showed that he was using all his might.
Jin Fan and Chen Xudong were also eager to try, and seemed to want to experience the feel of this big fish.
Zhang Ze watched for a while, and seeing that Jin Sanbao was able to remain calm, he went to the kitchen to drink water with peace of mind.
Although he was in a hurry before fishing for the big fish, he was well prepared. He had already poured a large bowl of boiling water and added some salt and sugar.
Now that Jin Sanbao and his friends had arrived, he would probably need to drink some water soon, so he slowly drank a small bowl of salt water, then took out a large soup bowl, poured boiling water into it, and added a small spoonful of salt and sugar.
After sitting down to rest for a while, he came out and found that the person had been replaced by Jin Fan, while Jin Sanbao was slumped on the ground, panting heavily, obviously exhausted.
Zhang Ze was not surprised that he had to be substituted after only ten minutes.
When you are trying your best to fight with the fish, those who can last for ten minutes or so are considered very strong. Most people in modern times are sub-healthy, and they may get a stitch in the side if they try their best for three or four minutes to catch such a big fish.
That is why these people who have been doing hard labor since childhood can persist for so long.
Seeing him coming, Jin Sanbao stood up panting and slapped him on the shoulder with a powerful Vajra Palm: "Damn, what did you eat to grow up? You are as strong as a calf, but you can hold on for so long? I got a stitch in the side after just a short while."
Zhang Ze smiled and responded with two Tathagata Palms: "Maybe the food is better, so they are strong. Look at those pig butchers, who isn't fat and strong?"
"Hiss~ You're really strong, kid." Jin Sanbao grimaced in pain. He only knew that Zhang Ze was strong before, but this time he had a better idea of how strong he was.
After two days of mutual teasing, Jin Fan was soon defeated, and it was Chen Xudong's turn to take over.
As it turned out, he was very lucky. Not long after he took over, the fish got tired and lay down to rest. He took the opportunity to reel in more than 50 meters of fishing line.
In this way, he lasted the longest, a full seventeen minutes.
"Hehe, you two are no match for me. You have to look up to me." Chen Xudong said proudly.
This surprised Zhang Ze who took over: "Oh, so you are this kind of Adong, I thought you were a quiet and serious person!"
Jin Sanbao laughed: "Who said Adong was serious? It was you who said you were flirty. That's right, you were stuffy and flirty."
"You said before that I was a bit shy, but actually the one who was really shy was A-Dong."
"Who is the one who is sultry? You are the one who is sultry. Your whole family is sultry."
"Fuck, it's ok to talk about me, but why are you talking about my whole family?"
Zhang Ze listened to the two people bickering, smiled slightly silently, and then began to fish seriously.
Although Jin Sanbao and his two companions only fished for more than half an hour in total, this not only consumed a lot of the fish's energy again, but also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The fish's strength was decreasing, while his strength had recovered a lot, so the balance of victory had tilted infinitely towards him.
In just ten minutes, Zhang Ze had recovered about fifty meters of fishing line. Now the big fish was still about eight hundred and fifty meters away from him.
It looks far away, but in fact the next speed will be much faster than before.
After spending another half an hour and successfully reducing the fishing line to only 500 meters, Zhang Ze handed the fishing rod to Jin Sanbao next to him and continued to rest and recover his strength.
Four people rotate, and each of them bursts out with all their strength as soon as they come on, and then they are immediately replaced when they run out of energy.
With this operation, even though the fish in the water is large and strong, it still approaches the fishing boat steadily and quickly.
It was not until it got dark that traces of a big fish in the water finally appeared beside the boat.
The fish's head looks very strange, as if it has two strange buns tied on it, and when viewed from the side it looks like a sickle is installed on its head.
The eyes are on both sides of the double bun, making him look a little cute.
However, the mouth full of sharp teeth and ferocious face immediately allowed the people on the boat to recognize that it was a shark.
Sharks are as difficult to catch as tuna, no wonder they have to go to so much trouble.
What is in front of me is obviously a hammerhead shark. It seems to be about three and a half meters long and weighs at least four hundred kilograms.
"Wow, this shark looks really strange." Jin Sanbao leaned against the side of the boat and watched curiously.
"Adong, give me the javelin!" When Zhang Ze saw the length of the shark, he knew it was not a king of fish.
This hammerhead shark only had a few dozen experience points at most, and he could accept the loss of such a small amount of experience points, so he planned to kill it directly.
It is impossible to store so many people around me into the space. If I don’t kill them directly, it will be unsafe to bring them onto the ship rashly.
If a shark twists and bites a person, it can bite off a large piece of meat in an instant.
Chen Xudong helped to get the javelin, Zhang Ze took over, and let Jin Fan hold the fishing rod, then raised the javelin and aimed at the shark's neck.
Originally, piercing the brain could be a fatal blow, but a damaged head would not look good and would affect the appearance, so he settled for the second best and chose the neck.
Raise the javelin and throw it with all your strength.
With a "whoosh", the javelin pierced into the shark's neck.
