"It's so fucking tiring!" Zhang Ze complained as he threw the oxygen cylinder aside after returning to the boat.
One oxygen tank has been used up and the progress is only one-third. Obviously, if we want to dig out all the corals, we have to continue tomorrow afternoon.
The sun was already in the west and would probably set in two hours. Zhang Ze simply drove the trolling boat back, took a shower, had a meal, and then started his evening work.
Returning to the Fishman and hoisting the trolling boat up, he rinsed the tools with fresh water and laid them on the fly bridge to dry.
These tools are made of iron and will rust quickly if they are not rinsed and dried.
Then Zhang Ze went to take a shower and prepare dinner in advance.
Diving is actually very physically demanding. At least he is very hungry now and feels like he has no strength at all.
But this is a very magical thing. After I replenished my energy with dinner, the strength in my body came back before the dinner was even digested. I don’t know where it came from.
The harvest in this sea area in the afternoon was so amazing, especially the large number of king-grade seafood, so he had no intention of returning to Jin Sanbao.
Anyway, I told you in advance that it’s okay not to go back at night.
Zhang Ze found a good position to cast all six longlines. It was a bit troublesome to fish with longlines at a depth of 200 meters because there were no such deep waters nearby, so he could only go to a place farther away.
After all the longlines were deployed, Zhang Ze sailed back to the archipelago.
There is no light at night, so diving is not suitable. Let’s just continue fishing!
Because of the big harvest today, my experience points are almost approaching 20,000. If I am lucky enough to catch two or three more king fish tonight, I can level up today.
Then maybe I can work hard in the next two days and try to accumulate 10,000 experience points to upgrade Mouse Spot.
As for manta rays, forget about it. They already weigh more than three tons, and if they increase by another 30%, it will be a problem to transport them.
This time, the Duoyu was parked above the coral reef where he had dived in the afternoon. He had a great harvest here in the afternoon and also saw quite a few large groupers while diving, so he decided to fish here in the evening.
After attaching the bait, Zhang Ze swung the fishing rod lightly, and the hook hit the water surface with a "plop".
He turned on the line-release switch and was waiting for the bait to sink, but the water surface suddenly surged and headed straight for the location of the bait.
"Zizi" the fishing line was suddenly pulled out quickly, this familiar feeling, obviously a fish intercepted the food.
Is this a fish? Zhang Ze skillfully turned off the line release switch with his fingers and pulled the fishing rod upwards at the same time.
"Swoosh~"
“Clatter, clatter~”
Right in front of him, a big fish struggled in the water.
It was just chasing small fish and shrimps on the water surface, when food suddenly fell from the sky and attracted the fish.
It swallowed it in one gulp without thinking, but before it could taste it, it felt a sudden pain in its mouth, and then a huge force lifted it to the surface of the water.
The fish shook its head and tail in an attempt to break free from the strange thing that had hooked it, and its swung tail easily smashed a small wave that was rushing towards it.
"Yellow croaker?"
With the help of the light, Zhang Ze saw the fish on the water at a glance.
This fish looked very much like a yellow croaker, but it was too big, so he was a little unsure.
Zhang Ze immediately showed a look of joy. If it was really a yellow croaker, then with its almost one-meter length, it was definitely a king fish and he would definitely be able to gain a lot of experience points.
Large fish of meter size are very strong. This fish has a strong pulling force and keeps trying to dive underwater.
But they are already on the sea, so there is no reason for Zhang Ze to let it run into the water. That would waste a lot of time.
So he tugged on the rod and the crank and pulled hard.
“Crunch~”
The fish was just a few meters in front of him on the water surface, so Zhang Ze didn't need to reel in the line. He just needed to let the fish take a short break after the first round of outburst, and then he could reel it in.
The yellow croaker kept swimming back and forth on the water surface, turning over and struggling from time to time, splashing water.
Being dragged like this quickly drained its energy, and after a few minutes it became tired and began to rest.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Ze quickly reeled in the line, pulled the yellow croaker to the side of the boat, and then scooped it up with a scoop net.
However, the yellow croaker had not exhausted its energy. When the net was used to scoop it up for the first time, it nimbly swung its tail to avoid it, then began to struggle again.
Zhang Ze was not in a hurry. Seeing this, he continued to hold the fishing rod and eat it.
Another two minutes passed, and seeing that the fish had calmed down, he stretched out the scoop net and tried again.
This time, perhaps the yellow croaker was too tired and was successfully caught by him.
Seeing this, Zhang Ze picked up the fish with one hand.
The reason why he didn't just pull the fishing line up is mainly because the fish is not tired enough. It is most likely to get off the hook when it struggles in the air, so he uses a scoop net.
After putting it into the space, Zhang Ze couldn't wait to check it out.
[Successfully caught a yellow croaker, weighing 33.35 catties, experience (fish king) +500. ]
"Oh my god, it's really the king of yellow croakers. I've learned a lot. Yellow croakers can be this big!" After his rebirth, Zhang Ze's knowledge of the creatures in the sea has been constantly refreshed.
The various oversized fish and other marine creatures were very novel and unexpected to him.
For example, the largest yellow croaker he had ever seen was 43 centimeters long.
When the angler caught such a big fish, he excitedly took a ruler to measure it and took a lot of photos.
If he took out this meter-sized yellow croaker, the angler would probably be astonished.
And it's not just the yellow croaker, he was also shocked by the rice-grade yellow croaker.
The largest one he had ever seen was only 87 centimeters in length, and he saw it in online news. But now there was a meter-long yellow croaker quietly lying in his space.
As for manta rays with a wingspan of nine meters, they do exist in later generations.
The main reason is that it is protected, otherwise such a large building would have disappeared into history long ago.
After catching this yellow croaker king, the experience value in the system officially exceeded 20,000. He was only 10,000 away from upgrading, which made Zhang Ze very motivated.
He thought about it and recalled the large number of groupers he had found during his afternoon dive.
Although I’m not sure if there are any king fish in there, at least there are many big ones.
There is too much randomness in fishing with ordinary bait, so he decisively exchanged ten groups of grouper bait and went fishing for grouper tonight.
I put the bait on and threw it into the water. Maybe because the bait was changed, no fish came to eat it this time.
At this time, Xiao Hei suddenly came over, circled around his feet, and stuck out his tongue and made a "hachi hachi" sound.
Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, then he installed the fishing rod in the base, squatted down and stroked its head: "Why did it suddenly run over here?"
Xiao Hei has long adapted to life at sea. Every time he goes fishing, he either lies quietly and watches, or sleeps in his own nest. This is a bit abnormal.
However, after playing with him for a while, Zhang Ze found that Xiao Hei was fine and seemed to have just come over to get close to him.
Seeing this, he continued to tease the fish a few more times, but he didn't notice that the tip of the fishing rod was already getting a little off.
“Squeak~”
The sudden pulling sound alerted Zhang Ze who was still playing with the dog. He quickly stood up, grabbed the fishing rod, lifted it up, and shook the crank.
“Crunch~”
Unfortunately, it was a little too late this time. After two pulls, the fish successfully spit out the hook and ran away.
Zhang Ze smiled helplessly. It had been a long time since he last caught fish, and this made him taste the flavor again.
But he didn't blame Xiao Hei for disturbing him. Even though he was using the special fishing rod rewarded by the space, it was still normal for the fish to escape.
The fishing rod just won't get damaged, but it has no function to prevent the fish from escaping.
Moreover, escaping fish is also an important reason why anglers become addicted to fishing.
Not to mention the emotions such as regret, remorse and anger that you will feel after the fish escapes, afterwards you will constantly imagine in your mind what kind of fish you just caught.
Is it particularly big? Is it particularly rare? Will I be able to catch a bigger one later? And so on. Then the anticipation rises in my heart again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When I pulled the fishing line in, the bait had disappeared.
Zhang Ze put the bait back on and threw it into the water, but this time he did not put down the fishing rod.
The fish bite was obviously good tonight, so he decided to respect the groupers at the bottom of the water.
Just as he expected, the bait sank to the bottom for a while before being swallowed by a grouper that was attracted over there.
"Swoosh~"
Zhang Ze stabbed the fish very timely this time. He raised the fishing rod the moment the fish was hooked, and the fishing rod immediately formed a semicircle.
This fish is not small, and the pulling force is very strong.
The water here is twenty-seven meters deep. Considering the force, it would normally take a while to walk.
But Zhang Ze relied on his strong body and the power of his fishing gear and didn't give the fish any chance at all.
He simply pulled the fishing rod hard and then shook the crank vigorously to bring the fishing line back in.
About five or six minutes later, a huge blue spot was pulled to the surface of the water. This blue spot was estimated to weigh more than 20 pounds, so it was difficult to use an ordinary scoop net, and a hook had to be used.
But Zhang Ze kept all these shallow-water groupers in the space, so he pulled the fish to the stern exit, pulled the fish in, and then reached into the space.
It was about the same as he estimated, the blue spotted fish weighed twenty-three pounds.
It’s a pity that it’s not other groupers. If it was a rat grouper or something like that, it would be a king fish. It is far from the twenty-plus kilograms blue grouper!
After reeling in the fishing line, Zhang Ze returned to the fishing spot.
He fished right next to the exit at the stern of the boat. There was no need to specifically collect the small fish into the space through the exit. He would use a scoop net whenever possible because it was more convenient.
Put on the bait and continue.
After a while, the tip of the rod moved again. Zhang Ze seized the opportunity and decisively pulled the rod to stab the fish.
"Swish~" The fishing rod bent and the fishing line was tightened, and the fish was successfully pierced.
The force this time surprised him even more. He didn't expect it to be much stronger than the blue spot just now. It was definitely a big one.
Zhang Ze, who had just relied on his strong body, did not fully rely on brute force this time. The big fish under the water was in a stalemate with him, which made him very satisfied.
Are you kidding? He used grouper bait, and more than 90% of the fish he caught were groupers.
And judging from the struggling sound and the brute force of pulling, it does look like a grouper.
This time, Zhang Ze took a little longer. After about fifteen minutes, a big fiery red fish appeared on the water surface. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a meter-sized fish.
"Fuck, such a big grouper?"
The resources of this coral reef are constantly refreshing Zhang Ze's vision, even meter-sized groupers have appeared.
In later times, the chance of catching a meter-sized grouper is very small, but you have to go abroad.
It can be said that only one or two pieces are published in a year, which is truly a rare opportunity.
Not to mention the meter-sized one, even a grouper weighing over 20 kilograms is extremely rare.
However, the breeding industry developed in later generations and grouper was also farmed in China, so farmed grouper weighing over 20 kilograms can occasionally be seen.
However, under normal circumstances, the aquaculture industry does not raise fish that big as it is not cost-effective, and they can basically be sold at a little over one kilogram.
Those that are particularly big are the lucky ones. They usually escape capture, and some are deliberately kept by the breeders to grow big.
But this was the first time that Zhang Ze saw a wild rice-grade grouper. He had never even heard of it before.
[Successfully caught a grouper weighing 45.61 catties, experience (King Fish) +3000. ]
Zhang Ze was very happy seeing that his experience points had increased significantly again.
In just a short period of time at night, I caught two king fish. The resources here are really exaggerated.
Zhao Xianghua will probably be very happy when he goes back this time. With so many king fish in the store, the store's reputation will definitely increase significantly.
It seemed that his luck had run out. Even though the fish were biting very well afterwards, Zhang Ze didn't catch even a single king fish.
There were quite a lot of groupers, almost all of them were caught, and he never stopped for a moment.
It was not until after ten o'clock in the evening that Zhang Ze stopped fishing.
He looked at the space and found that he had caught more than 389 kilograms of grouper in more than three hours, a total of 33 fish.
Because the fish hooks used are large, these groupers are also quite large. The smallest one weighs more than three pounds, which is a batch of hard goods.
I checked my experience points, which were over 23,400. Even if I'm unlucky when I collect the rope later, I guess it won't be far from 30,000. At most, I can upgrade if I work hard tomorrow.
Zhang Ze is even more looking forward to the new functions that will soon appear in the space.
Putting away the fishing rod, Zhang Ze drove the boat to the place where the longline was cast. Just like before, he first collected the longline for fishing deep-sea fish.
When he arrived at the two longest ropes, Zhang Ze pulled up the float, tied the rope and started the winch.
He first looked at the space. Most of it was occupied by manta rays, and the rest were occupied by other marine creatures. It seemed a bit difficult to collect all the catches from the six longlines in the remaining space.
Fortunately, the four longlines were all used to catch deep-sea fish. After thinking about it, he decided to bring all the bamboo baskets over.
After collecting the experience, just throw it into the bamboo basket and put it in the refrigerator. If you can upgrade tomorrow, you can bring up the coral and go back. In this way, you don’t have to worry about the fish not being fresh enough for a day or two.
The two longlines here were quickly collected, and the catch filled five bamboo baskets, totaling about five to six hundred kilograms. The experience value increased by more than seven hundred, and the harvest was slightly worse than the average level.
Zhang Ze was not surprised by this, because it was not easy to find a 200-meter-deep water area nearby. Before launching the fishing vessel, he knew through the fish finder that the fish situation here was average.
He was just too lazy to go somewhere else, and there were so many resources in the archipelago, so he didn't really care about the gains here.
After moving the fish into the cold storage compartment and throwing the longline into a frame, Zhang Ze drove the boat back to the archipelago. The next step was the highlight. (End of this chapter)
