Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

As the crane rattled, the tuna that had been hanging in the water to cool down was truly revealed.

"Oh my God, this is the biggest fish I have ever seen." Xiao Zeng exclaimed.

"It's very beautiful. I think it can be sold for a good price." Gene's eyes were also shining. In his eyes, this is money.

Yu Fake was also surprised. This was the first time he actually saw the process of catching tuna.

"Measure it quickly, then put it in the library and keep it on ice."

There are clear regulations on local tuna fishing, because the United States has national regulations and state regulations, which vary.

One is large-scale longline fishing by large-scale operating vessels. The requirements for this kind of fishing are that the distance between the jaws and the fins of the fish is less than 75 centimeters and must be released;

The local state's requirement for open season fishing is that the distance between the forks is no less than 73 inches, which is equivalent to 185 centimeters.

There is no problem that the fish in front of him meets the standard. Gene needs to measure it, firstly because of the standardization of the work, and secondly because he also wants to know how long this big fish is.

Zhao Qin helped, and soon the size of the fish came out. It was 115 inches, which is equivalent to more than 290 centimeters.

Moreover, this fish is very fat and has a round belly. Although I don’t know the quality of the meat, the oil content should be quite good. After measuring it, it will naturally be bled and stored in the warehouse.

When they heard that it was nearly 3 meters long, everyone exclaimed again.

"Zhao, shall we go back?" Jean asked.

When many ships harvest such a fish, they will choose to return to port and sell it. If the fish becomes stale again, the loss will be huge.

Zhao Qin looked at Yu Fake, who quickly shook his head, "I haven't opened yet."

"Okay, let's continue fishing. Akko, take off the bait on your hook and hang a live mackerel. This will be more effective."

Zhao Qin took advantage of the bait and opened the system and took a look. The merit value increased by 2060 points, while the real-time luck value dropped from 77 to 49 points.

It seems that the system evaluates fish in different sea areas separately. Tuna has 2000 points more, and 60 points should be obtained from mackerel fishing before.

While he was thinking about it, Jean walked up to him quietly, then reached out and touched his arm lightly. Zhao Qin waved his hand reflexively.

"Don't be nervous, Zhao, I'm not bent, I just want to make sure, is your arm really okay?"

"of course."

Gene's eyes lit up, "I understand, Kung Fu, is Kung Fu right? You know Chinese Kung Fu. I heard that it is very magical and can make very thin people burst out with huge strength.

I also heard that he can be invulnerable and even more powerful than Iron Man. "

Xiao Zeng smiled while translating for Zhao Qin. Zhao Qin also looked confused. That was kung fu, not magic.

"Can you teach me? Don't worry, I can pay for the tuition. It's so cool. When I learn it, I will beat everyone in Dennis..."

Tim became excited when he heard it and pointed back at himself, "Zhao, there's me, I want to learn too."

"Damn it, I asked first." Gene said unhappily.

Zhao Qin could teach him how to use a hammer, but he flatly refused, disappointing the two of them.

It took almost an hour to catch the fish just now. If Zhao Qin had been fishing for the whole process, 40 minutes would be enough. I just had to experience it at different times, so some time was wasted.

"Zhao, do you want to change positions?"

After waiting for almost half an hour with no movement, Gene glanced at the fish finder and asked.

Zhao Qin shook his head, "Forget it, that's all we'll spend today."

Jean stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, he already had one tail, so he wouldn’t lose anything today.

The radio station was particularly lively at this moment. It seemed like two groups were quarreling. Other fishing boats also participated in the quarrel. Gene looked excited, and then he ran into the wheelhouse and picked up the pager.

Immediately, a string of greetings came out of his mouth crazily.

"It seems that a man named Robert got angry. As soon as his boat came out, it was surrounded by several boats.

Then two of the several boats surrounding him caught fish, which made him very unhappy. He thought that these people were blocking his way of making money, so he cursed on the radio. "Xiao Zeng listened to the general idea and explained it to Zhao Qin.

"What's Gene talking about?"

"Jean is also scolding Robert, saying that he is domineering and the sea does not belong to him."

Zhao Qin smiled and shook his head, it's the same everywhere,

He had heard from Tim before that Robert was the best fisherman in Dennis. They probably saw how unhappy he was fishing last year, so they started to fight him at the beginning of this year.

After a while, Gene walked out of the wheelhouse. After a while and greeting Robert's family, he felt comfortable all over.

"Aren't you afraid that Robert will cause trouble for you?"

"He can't beat me. We did it once as early as two years ago. At that time, my boat and his boat met at sea, and there happened to be a fish in my boat.

As a result, this guy actually took out his gun and shot into the sky, causing me to run away from the fish. "

"Have a gun?" Zhao Qin didn't care about the grievances between Jean and Robert, and decisively grasped the key point of this sentence.

"Sorry Zhao, there are no guns on board, and you don't have a gun license. You'd better not touch such a toy."

Yu Fake saw that Zhao Qin was a little disappointed, so he smiled and said: "There should be a shooting range in Philadelphia. Then we can go and shoot."

"Okay, then it's settled."

There is no man who doesn't like guns. Although he was a soldier in his previous life, their troops and combat readiness have nothing to do with each other. It would be nice to have target shooting once a year.

So after a few years of retirement, he even forgot about military boxing.

Everyone was chatting, and the next moment the fish finder in the wheelhouse made a beeping sound. Gene was just about to see where the big fish was, and then there was a crazy buzzing sound from Zhao Qin's fishing rod.

"I caught a fish, I caught another fish." Xiao Zeng was overjoyed.

"I'll go, Aqin, you're just out of luck." Yu Fake said depressedly while putting away his fishing rod.

On the other side, Gene was equally excited. Although the fish he caught had little to do with him, after all, he had led others to catch it.

If the reputation spreads, then this speedboat of yours will soon become a star boat. Will you still be in need of contractors in the future?

The reason why Gene doesn't fish by himself is because he has suffered heavy losses in the past two years. Earlier, he and his brother-in-law went fishing together, but they harvested one fish the year before last. Last year, he went directly to the Air Force.

Not only has he not made any money in two years, but he also owes a debt to the bank. If he doesn't get any more money this year, his boat will not be saved.

Because his brother-in-law saw no hope, he left Dennis to find another way out. As a last resort, for the sake of stability, Gene gave up fishing by himself this year and planned to rent out the fishing boat.

The advantage of this is that the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods, and there is no shortage of fishing experts from other places who rent boats to go out to sea.

It had been a long time since he had caught two tuna a day. Even if it wasn't his own, he still felt the joy of the harvest.

"Zhao, if you can't hold on, let me know." Gene finally offered to help.

Zhao Qin thanked him and continued to retrieve the line. It was difficult to judge whether this fish was bigger or smaller than the previous one because this fish was so smart.

Just after hitting the hook and exerting force once, and feeling Zhao Qin's pulling force, it actually seemed to give in and never exerted force again.
