The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded Chapter 163

  Chapter 163 Oarfish?

  From the fish finder, the fish are active in the middle and upper layers.

  But Chu Mingcheng always felt that the water here was very deep, so he took a fishing rod and set the line to test the depth, but he did not expect that the water here was more than 80 meters deep.

  Generally, the waters around isolated islands are very shallow. It is more than 30 meters away because it is a cliff. I didn't expect the other side to be more exaggerated.

   But it is normal to encounter weird terrain at sea, as long as there are fish.

  If the fish is in the middle and upper layers, then catch the middle and upper layers.

   Throw the dead shrimp caught in the afternoon into the water to make a nest, then cut the sardines in the afternoon into pieces as bait, and try to catch a rod first to see what fish it is.

  As a result, the fish felt very familiar after taking the bait, but when he pulled the fish to the surface, the sub-line suddenly broke.

   It was rare to catch a fish once, but Chu Mingcheng did not feel any disappointment or regret. He had already seen clearly what kind of fish it was, a small-eyed octopus.

   No wonder the hand feels so familiar, that is, it has been a long time and he didn't remember it for a while.

  As for the hairtail's teeth, it's not surprising that his thin sub-thread was bitten off.

  The electric twisted pole was sent out again, because there was no Tianya hook prepared, he had to choose to use a string hook.

  The hook bait of the electric spinning rod was put down first, and then he continued to tie the line group of another fishing rod.

   Hairtails don't need to be bled, just take the hook and throw them in the box. If you have one more rod, you can catch more hairtails.

  The wire group on this side is half tied, and the electric twisting pole on the side of the ship starts to move.

  Because the thick electric reel of the fishing rod is powerful, he tied seven hooks.

  In addition, the movement of the fish eating the hook is also more fierce, so the movement is quite loud.

  Press the button to take up the line, and the fishing line is quickly retracted by the electric winch, without any resistance like the bonito at noon.

   In just a short while, three hairtails were pulled up.

   Not bad, all three are three fingers wide. Compared with bonito, the price of hairtail is not only twice as expensive, but it is also easy to sell.

   Waiting for the line group of the fishing rod on the other side to be fished together, Chu Mingcheng realized that the number of hairtails tonight is not as much as before, and only a few will be picked up after half a meeting.

   "Could it be related to the water layer?"

  Although the hairtail will swim to the upper layer at night, it is not absolute. Many of the larger ones are in the middle or even in the bottom.

  So this time he tried to let the hook bait sink to a water layer of about 40 meters to see the situation.

  But after five or six minutes, the electric reel took the bait again, but the fishing rod in his hand hadn't moved yet.

  Seeing this, he first pressed the button to take up the line, and then continued to sink the hook bait to a water area 70 meters deep.

  In fact, in this water layer, his purpose is not just to bring fish, he also wants to see if there are other fish.

   After a while, he took the hairtail off the electric reel, and threw the bait back into the water. Just as the depth was set, the fishing line on this side finally moved.

  He lifts the rod to stab the fish, then turns the handle quickly.

   Judging from the movement and movement, it seems to be hairtail again, but unfortunately it is not the big hairtail he imagined. The movement is very small, and the fish is probably not big.

  Unexpectedly, when the fish was about to reach the surface of the water, he saw a little red under the light.

  After pulling them all up, Chu Mingcheng was a little stunned.

   What was caught was hairtail, but it was red hairtail.

  He has never seen this kind of hairtail, and has no impression at all, which means it is an extremely rare fish.

   A total of two fish were hooked, and the fish died after being pulled up from the deep water area.

  He took out the hook and found that although this fish was three fingers wide, it was shorter and lighter than hairtails of the same width, probably only about two taels.

   Judging from the appearance, it is an edible fish.

  Chu Mingcheng threw the fish into the box, washed his hands and took a look at the aquatic product guide.

   Then I learned that the scientific name of this fish is dorsal-spotted red saury, because it has a black dot on its red back, and the name may be because of this.

  But more specific information is not given in the Aquatic Illustrated Book, but the Aquatic Illustrated Book can display it, which also shows from the side that this kind of fish can be bought and sold.

  He walked into the cockpit, took out the encyclopedia and rummaged through it.

   It took me a long time to find out the specific information of this fish. It turns out that this is a bottom-dwelling fish, which generally lives in waters with a water depth of about 80 meters.

  The book actually said that this is a relatively common fish, but Chu Mingcheng really didn't pay attention to it.

   This fish is soft to the touch, and the taste should not be bad. You can check the price when you get a signal.

  If there is less, take it home and eat it yourself, if there is more, sell it.

   But obviously, there are quite a few of them below.

  Chu Mingcheng sinks the hook bait of the electric twisting pole to the bottom this time to catch fish at the bottom.

  The fishing rod in your hand catches the hairtail in the upper layer, so as not to be too tired to pull.

  Even if the density of fish is not as high as when fishing hairtail before, they still hit the pole from time to time until the time gradually came to three o'clock in the morning.

  Hearing the sound of the mobile phone alarm clock, Chu Mingcheng yawned, and then turned off the alarm clock.

  Using a life transformation, most of his original drowsiness disappeared immediately, and so did his fatigue.

  It's almost time, Chu Mingcheng started to take back the fishing line, he was going to collect the shrimp and crab pots, and then went back to the pier to sell the fish.

  After fishing all night, the harvest is actually not bad.

   Hairtail fish caught seventy to eighty catties, and bayonet fish should also weigh twenty catties.

  While he was taking in the fishing line on his side, Chu Mingcheng was about to press the button to take back the fishing line of the electric reeling rod.

   At this moment, a fish nearly two meters deep was slowly swimming over.

  When it noticed the sardine meat exuding a faint **** smell, it turned around and approached.

  The bayonet fish around suddenly scattered and were scared away.

  This fish is white all over and has a slender body like hairtail. It has a crown on its head, but it is actually its dorsal fin.

   A pair of Kaziran big eyes are piercing, looking quite scary in deep water.

  Different from hairtail, his tail is not pointed, but has a scissor-shaped tail fin like tuna.

  It swims like a piece of soft cloth, not like a hairtail standing upright like a steel plate.

   Its mouth is not as sharp as hairtail, but its teeth are also very sharp. When it swam up to the sardine meat, it opened its mouth and swallowed the fish meat immediately.

  Chu Mingcheng on the boat is about to press the button to take back the fishing line on the electric reeling rod.

   As a result, before he could press it, the electric wringer suddenly had a big reaction.

  Of course, this big reaction is compared with the reaction after the bayonetfish took the bait before.

  Looking at this, it should be caught by an unknown big fish!

  Press the button quickly, and the moment the fishing line is retracted, it drives the slightly loose hook, making it tighter and deeper at once.

  The big fish that had a chance to spit out the hook had no way to escape now.

   Despite the fact that this fish is nearly two meters long, it has no chance to struggle in the face of the high horsepower of the electric winch.

  Even because of rising from the deep water area to the shallow water area, the organs in his body burst due to the pressure.

  This leads to the fact that the fish is almost cold before it is fully pulled to the surface.

   "Hey!" Chu Mingcheng thought it was a fish like grouper, but he didn't expect it to be such a long hairtail.

  It is very different from ordinary hairtail. The back is red and the belly is translucent silvery white. This fish is very beautiful.

  Chu Mingcheng lifted it to the deck, arranged it for a photo, and then put it away in a foam box and covered it with ice.

  He didn't know this fish, so he looked at the aquatic product guide and found that the fish was called striped narrow-headed hairtail.

   Then I went to the book and checked again, only to realize that this kind of hairtail is not economical because there are not many of them.

  But it is an edible fish, and friends who like to hunt novelties can buy it and taste it.

  So even if the customers in the group don't want it, he can still sell it to Brother Haiwang or Jiang Yuqi. As a gourmet UP owner, it's impossible for them not to.

  Go back to the cockpit, sail the boat and collect the cage.

  Because the shrimp bait was used last night, after the float was collected, it was all snapper.

  And seven of them are black bream, and the remaining one is yellowfin. The bait on two more hooks was eaten.

   The hit rate is good, but unfortunately the fish are not very big, about two or three catties.

  Put away the shrimp cage, there was still no surprise, but I caught some more shrimp.

  The mouthful of shrimps can be used as bait to attract some grouper or other fish this afternoon.

  The crab pots harvested a lot. They caught a total of more than 30 catties of crabs, and they were very fat and almost weighed in. Only two thin ones were released.

  The fuel cost at night is about 3500 yuan, it depends on how much the fish can be sold after returning to the pier in the morning.

   Back to the pier, exactly half past five.

  The pier is already very lively, and the first batch of fishing boats come back around this time in the morning.

  The people who come to the pier to collect fish are not only fishmongers, but also some fish shop owners, and some customers who want to buy fresh fish.

  On the pier, a middle-aged man with gray hair and clean clothes was picking fish.

  He spotted a fishing boat returning to the pier in the distance with sharp eyes.

  Thinking that there might be good goods on the fishing boat, he walked over with some curiosity.

  Chu Mingcheng was a little surprised to see someone boarding the boat.

   "Boss, what kind of fish do you have here?"

   "There are fishing lines, bayonet fish and swimming crabs."

   "Huh, there is a bayonet fish?" When he saw the red figure in the box, the middle-aged man became a little moved.

  But he didn't say much, but opened the boxes one by one to look, and then found a large hairtail packed separately.

   "This is an oarfish?" The middle-aged man was surprised.

   It's not surprising that he can't recognize it. Some large hairtails may have the title of oarfish.

  But in fact, this big hairtail does not have this title, but it looks quite similar, and people who don't know it will definitely not recognize it.

  Chu Mingcheng shook his head and explained: "No, this is called the striped narrow-skulled octopus, which belongs to the octopus family. The real oarfish is not from the octopus family. It looks similar but they are completely two species, and they are not closely related."

   "I see!" The middle-aged man nodded knowingly, "Boss, how do you sell your big hairtail?"

   "The price is 151 catties without bargaining. There is no shortage of people wanting this kind of hairtail. People who run hotels like this kind of fish that is rare but tastes good. It can also have a lot of gimmicks."

  Chu Mingcheng has already checked the price, and the chilled ones can sell for one hundred and one for several days.

  His one is bigger and fresher, and the price of 150 is already very reasonable.

  The middle-aged man originally wanted to make a counter-offer, but when he heard that Chu Mingcheng directly refused to make a counter-offer, he couldn't help but smiled wryly.

   "Okay, then boss, you can weigh it, I want this one."

   "By the way, give me a pound of bayonet fish, how much is it?"

   Seeing that he wanted the big hairtail so simply, Chu Mingcheng also became more talkative.

   "Let me give you a cheaper bayonet fish. It will be calculated at fifty-one catties. You should know that this kind of bayonet fish that has just been caught can actually be sold at a higher price."

   "Okay, boss, calculate the price."

  Finally, Chu Mingcheng weighed the big hairtail. The length of this hairtail was 1.93 meters, but the weight was only 14 catties.

  The price was 2,115 yuan, plus a catty of bayonet fish, Chu Mingcheng charged him 2,150 yuan.

   A two-meter-long hairtail can't pay back its original cost, bad review!

   Thanks to Sirius Xiao Tianzhan and 352 for their rewards
