Chapter 76 Another high-grade grouper, the effect of bait [First order required]
Zhang Ze reached into the small basket containing the bait and took out a small squid that looked inconspicuous.
This little squid is wet and there is really no difference if you just look at it on the surface.
I smelled it and it smelled like seafood, but it seemed quite fresh? It seems that there is really no difference on the surface. Let's see what changes will happen during the next fishing.
Hold the fishing rod in your right hand and release the bait with your left hand. The bait will swing forward due to gravity. When it reaches a position just in front of the tip of the rod, it has already drawn a short channel on the water surface and submerged in the water.
Zhang Ze lowered the angle of the fishing rod, trying to make the bait sink deeper, but suddenly there was a splash of water in the shadow near the cliff not far away, followed by a black shadow rushing quickly towards the bait.
When the black shadow reaches the bait, the tip of the rod bends down almost synchronously.
It took the bait already? This fish was easier to catch than he thought. The effect of the bait was completely beyond his expectations.
They said it would only increase the chance of catching the fish by 30%, but why does it make the fish look like they have never been full since childhood?
The fishing rod squeaked. After Zhang Ze stabbed the fish, he tried to lift the rod, but it didn't work. The fish was still a little big and he couldn't just pull it up with brute force.
Fortunately, the fish is on the water surface, so just walk around for a while. It will be much easier to catch it than at the bottom of the water.
Tong Yuanhang turned his head after hearing the noise. When he found that Zhang Ze had caught a fish and judging from its figure on the water surface, it was a grouper, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This has happened so many times, why is it that this brother-in-law always catches fish first? Can he at least respect his three hooks? The two of them have been fishing for more than 20 times, and he really hasn't found any special fishing skills of this brother-in-law, but why is it that when they fish together, he is always the first to catch fish? Tong Yuanhang couldn't figure it out.
Ten minutes later, a clouded grouper that looked to be about ten pounds appeared on the deck, flapping its tail continuously.
"Wow, what a big oil spot! This is an overly good start!" Zhang Ze has gone fishing at sea many times since his rebirth, but this is the first time he has caught a high-quality grouper.
There are 65 species of grouper belonging to 11 genera distributed along the coast of my country, but no more than ten species may be caught along the coast of the East China Sea, and the rest are all distributed in Taiwan and the coast of the South China Sea.
Among these types of grouper, the most expensive is the red grouper, followed by the clouded grouper he caught, also known as the oily grouper.
Tiger grouper is just an ordinary grouper, the price is just a little higher.
Moreover, this fish prefers warm water. It is possible to catch it in the hot summer, but forget about it in this weather.
"Isn't this spotted? You call it oil spot?" Tong Yuanhang was envious when he saw the big fish weighing more than ten kilograms. This fish is only worth twenty or thirty yuan!
"Is it called spotted? I see its belly is bulging, probably fat and juicy, so I call it oily spotted." Zhang Ze smiled and pretended to be stupid. After all, he couldn't act like he knew more than his brother-in-law, and he really didn't know what the fishermen of that era called some seafood.
"The fish are very fat now and taste much better than in the summer."
It is almost winter now, and fish have begun to eat in large quantities to accumulate fat in preparation for the winter. Fish with more fat will of course taste better.
In this era, the price of seafood does not change with the seasons. Throughout the year, whether it is seafood or other things, the prices are basically fixed.
It is worth being happy about catching an oil grouper, and Tong Yuanhang knows this fish, so he doesn't need to worry that Ou Shuxiang won't know its value and give him the price of an ordinary grouper.
But Zhang Ze is more concerned about whether the bait is still in the fish's mouth. If he is lucky, he can catch several fish with one small squid, and the bait can be reused.
But after he opened the fish's mouth and looked inside, he was a little disappointed. There was no trace of the bait. It seemed that the bait provided by the space was really disposable.
After removing the fishhook, he put the fish into the fish guard and then reached into the bait basket. Another grouper bait appeared in his hand.
I put it on a fishhook and threw it into the water, but this time no fish came to eat it.
The bait slowly sank, and some of the sea bream and other miscellaneous fish swimming nearby changed their behavior today and ignored the tempting bait in the water.
But some were still attracted, and a big black sea bream touched the bait with its mouth.
But as soon as it touched it, it suddenly smelled a smell that it found extremely disgusting. The next moment, it flicked its tail and left immediately.
It was lucky enough to trigger the passive ability of the bait and escape.
And just after it left, several groupers from nearby also came.
The bait that black sea bream hates is very delicious food in their eyes. Several groupers accelerated directly towards the bait, and everyone wanted to be one step faster than their competitors and grab the bait.
In the end, a gray grouper weighing just over three pounds swallowed the bait first because it was closer.
Zhang Ze quickly pulled the fishing rod and successfully inserted the hook into the grouper's mouth, hooked it firmly, and then began to pull.
He first pulled the fish to the surface of the water, and then dragged it to the side of the boat. When the fish came to the side of the boat, he took advantage of the fish's inattention, grabbed the fishing line and exerted force suddenly, lifting it onto the deck in one go.
In fact, Zhang Ze could also just lift the fishing rod to pull the fish up, but it would be too easy for the fish to come off the hook.
It’s okay if the fish runs away, at most you will not be able to sleep well for a few days, but the bait will be gone if it is eaten by your mouth.
By that time the fish had run away and the bait was gone, and he was afraid that he would still have the same dream when he was seventy years old.
Gray grouper, like blue grouper, is a common grouper. This fish has no special features in appearance, with mainly brown-gray skin. At first glance, it looks a bit like a Japanese sea bass, but it is shorter and fatter.

Two baits and two groupers gave Zhang Ze greater confidence in the fish provided by the space.
Moreover, the bait's attraction range reaches two nautical miles. If the bait is really effective today, he can go fishing over there where the shrimp cages are placed at other times.
Fishing with Tong Yuanhang can only be done on the same day at most. Even if we go out to sea, we won’t get much if the time is short.
The most important thing now is to continue fishing and see how many groupers can be caught with ten portions of bait.
More than an hour later, the ten baits were used up and Zhang Ze caught seven groupers.
Three of the baits were taken away by other fish, including a 15-pound sturgeon and two sea bass.
Even if the chance of catching is reduced by 15%, it is understandable that the fish may still be caught if they are hungry.
Moreover, Zhang Ze was quite satisfied with the effect of the bait. Even though he had found a good fishing spot before, it was very lucky to catch three groupers out of ten fish.
This is because they deliberately hung up the whole small squid and eliminated many fish with small mouths in advance, otherwise the proportion would be even lower.
Zhang Ze looked at the time and thought he could fish for another hour, so he used his experience points to exchange for another portion of bait.
The data of ten pieces of bait is a bit one-sided. Only ten more pieces can give a more accurate picture of the effect of the bait.
Soon, more than an hour passed, the sun was about to set, and the golden sea surface was quite beautiful.
After using up ten portions of bait, Zhang Ze caught a total of six groupers.
Although there is one less item than last time, the data error is not large, so he has an idea in his mind.
Before, there were one or two groupers out of ten, and three when I was lucky.
Now he didn't know whether his luck was good or bad, but catching six fish once and seven fish once, the actual data improvement should be more than 30% of the chance of being hooked.
All I can say is that this bait is more useful than he imagined, allowing him to fish more accurately in the future and officially embark on the fine-dining route.
