Chapter 195 Keep Going Until You’re Tired

Ye's father sailed the boat in the direction where the sardine swam, intending to chase it. With a compass in hand, he was also an excellent helmsman when he was young and was not afraid of getting lost at sea.

What's more, more and more boats are gathering on the sea at this time, all attracted by sardines, and they are all trying their best to cast their nets.

Father Ye just passed by a trawling iron boat and clearly saw that there were several large deep-sea fish piled on the boat, as well as a boat full of sardines, all of which were caught during the sardine storm.

He was extremely envious, "You know, I asked your mother to weave a net in advance a few days ago. Trawling is easy, has a wide range, and can catch a lot."

"There is no net hoist, and the small boat has to pull the net manually from the stern chute to the deck. Suddenly the cargo is too heavy and there are only a few people and they can't pull it up."

"It's also less labor-intensive than hand-throwing a net. You threw 6.7 nets and still didn't catch a big fish."

"There is no way. I couldn't have known it earlier. If I had known it earlier, I would have asked my mother to weave a net earlier. The light at night is not good."

He is also very greedy for the big fish on other boats. Just now he saw a bluefin tuna on one boat.

"It's daybreak and the light is good. By the time we finish setting out the rows of hooks, we'll have had enough rest. We'll have our sights set on the target and catch two big fish."

Father Ye wished he had to rest and kept spinning, but he had no strength in his hands, so he could only watch at the moment.

After dawn, more and more boats gathered on the sea, attracted by the overwhelming seabirds, and the exclamations became louder and louder.

When passing several fishing boats that were collecting their nets, you could hear their cheerful discussions, guessing what kind of big fish this net was.

The fishing boats on the sea are really going to make a fortune today.

Father Ye looked at the storm of sardines on the sea with joy and regret at the same time, "I don't know if your eldest and second brothers are in this sea, and if there is a chance to encounter them. It would be a pity if not. This is completely out of the sky. You can pick up the money as you please."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Who knows, the sea is so big and broad, who knows where they went to work. I hope they can catch up."

"There are more and more ships, and everyone will make a lot of money today."

Looking at the goods on other people's ships, and then on his own ship, Father Ye didn't feel that there was too much, he only felt that there was less, and he felt very distressed. His facial features were all wrinkled, and he no longer felt as happy as when he first started loading the goods.

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was a pity that he did not catch big fish such as tuna and ghost head sword, but thinking about it, he was quite lucky. Fortunately, he temporarily borrowed a fishing net as a backup, otherwise he would have vomited blood and died.

"Huh? A Guang's boat."

Ye Yaodong put the hook and looked into the distance, and a familiar iron boat appeared in his sight.

Father Ye also saw it, but he was releasing the hooks and it was inconvenient to get close to the fishing boats there. They were all trawling, and their hooks could easily get tangled up if they were not careful.

Ye Yaodong deliberately did not release the float this time, and let all the hooks sink to the bottom of the sea to perform bottom longline fishing to avoid being entangled in the hooks of trawling fishing boats on the sea.

Those fishing nets are now working on the surface, specifically catching sardines and the big fish that prey inside.

An hour later, all the hooks were released. He threw the buoy down and ignored it. Longline fishing is so trouble-free.

Looking at the endless group of sardines on the sea, he boldly picked up the hand-thrown net.

….

Keep working until you are tired!

After resting for more than an hour, he regained some strength and asked his father to sail the boat closer to the fish. Fortunately, there was no wind today and the waves were caused by the big fish.

He spotted the ghost-headed swordfish that was hunting not far away. He saw that its color was bright and conspicuous, so he operated on it.

Ye Yaodong threw the net towards it and covered it very smoothly.

"bingo!"

Father Ye immediately beamed with joy and quickly went to help drag it.

The fish's happy meal was interrupted. It struggled furiously in the fishing net and swung its tail. The father and son worked harder to close the net than to pull the sardines, and did not dare to let go at all.

The Ghost-headed Knifefish, also known as the Mahi Mahi, is the most beautiful fish in the ocean. It is green in color, so some people say: "This fish looks like a fake fish."

It is also particularly greedy and often pursues surface fish such as flying fish and sardines. Sometimes it will jump out of the water to catch food. It is a companion fish of tuna and swordfish.

In fact, there are many types of marine fish with different shapes. Even fishermen who live by the sea cannot recognize all the fish nearby. The ghost-head knifefish is still very recognizable because of its bright colors.

Its body is elongated and flat on its sides, tall at the front and gradually tapering toward the back. The head is large and the back is very narrow. The back of the male head is raised and square, and the fish face is as steep as a ghost head. This is also the source of their common name of "Ghost Head Sword".

At the same time, it also has the nickname "Underwater Fox". Like a fox on land, it will lie down and pretend to be dead in times of crisis.

At this time, it was pretending to be dead. It struggled for a while and then stopped moving. This made it easier for them to pull it up.

When the fishing net was untied, the fish was dancing happily among the sardines. It was too big compared to the sardines. When the net was closed, it was just above it, and even the sardines in the net could not squeeze it to death.

With a beautiful big fish, Ye's father was also happy. If there is one fish, there will be two. There is still a lot of time today. If you can't finish it, keep doing it!

He excitedly used the long-handled fishing net he made yesterday to move the ghost-head knife from the pile of sardines to the front. After such a tossing, it also released more air and took in less air.

As life gradually passes, the brilliant colors of its fish body will soon fade away, leaving only a dull grayish white.

Father Ye held it directly in his hand. This was the first time he had caught this kind of fish. He said cheerfully: "It's one meter long and weighs more than 20 kilograms."

"A few more!"

"You go and bleed, let me cast a net!" Father Ye put down the ghost head knife that kept opening his mouth, and excitedly went to try the hand-thrown net.

Ye Yaodong also let him go, letting him feel good too!

He picked up the ghost-head knife that had lost its beautiful color on the deck, patted it, and stood on tiptoes to get the knife. At this moment, sardines were scattered everywhere on the deck, and there was almost no place to step on. There is a small open space in front of the cabin.

The hand was using too much force, and the knife was shaking when I held it. It would be difficult to even eat when I went back in the evening.

Shaking his hands, he painstakingly cut open the albuginea between the gill filaments and gill covers, cut off the arteries, and allowed the blood to flow to the gills. He then raised the pectoral fins and cut a short and shallow cross-section under the pectoral fins, so that the fish could be cut off. Another major blood vessel.

….

He also cut a hole in the small fin of the fish's tail to ensure that the last accumulated blood could be dealt with, and then threw it aside to slowly bleed out.

"Dongzi, come and help!"

Hearing his father urgently calling him for help, he quickly stepped forward to help pull it out, "Is it a bomb fish? Didn't you catch the Ghost Tou Dao?"

"I haven't seen any around. Those over there are too far away. There are more and more ships on the sea now. We don't want to run around, lest we can't get a good position. We just grab whatever is in front of us."

There are indeed more and more. At dawn, you can count the boats on the sea with ten fingers. As the sardines migrate forward, more and more boats will be attracted.

"This bomb fish is not bad. It is bigger than the Ghost Tou Dao. Although the price is not comparable, the weight is there. Dad, you are really good at catching it."

Father Ye was very happy. For fishermen, nothing makes them happier than catching a valuable big fish.

"Hurry up and pull it up as hard as you can. There are a lot of sardines in this net."

Needless to say, he knew to use force, but this net was heavier than the previous ones.

The father and son worked hard to finally pull up the net, and casually scattered the fish on the deck and piled them up.

There were so many that I could only throw them on the deck casually.

Ye Yaodong dragged the bonito out alone. Knowing that his father was in high spirits, he took the initiative to bleed it and let the old man have a good time catching it.

Just like the Ghost Tou Dao, cut the artery first, then cut the pectoral fins, and finally cut the small fin of the fish's tail, and then throw it aside, letting it bleed together like the Ghost Tou Dao.

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

His father needs him again...

At this time, as the sea water moved, their boat gradually got closer and closer to A Guang and his friends. When A Guang and his father were closing the net, they also saw the father and son working hard to close the net.

"Dongzi, Dongzi."

Ye Yaodong looked up when he heard the sound. His hands were shaking a little from exerting too much force. Now he changed his attention. The net he was holding was almost released by the big fish inside struggling. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught it again. .

This time there was still a bomb fish inside. Who allowed this fish to be closest to their boat? Father Ye could only catch the closest one. Fortunately, there was another gannet inside, and Father Ye netted it very accurately.

After pulling up the net again with great difficulty, Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm exhausted."

He swung his arms and looked at A Guang's ship not far away, and saw that their net had also been pulled up. Although he took a quick look just now, he also saw a ghost-headed sword inside, and the color was conspicuous. , you can see it at a glance.

He didn’t know how many good ones A Guang had caught. He shouted to the guy: “How many big ones have you caught?”

Aguang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Many."

The two boats were a bit far apart and it was inconvenient to talk, so the two said hello and went about their business.

Father Ye also felt sore in his arms, and planned to take a rest and eat before continuing. Physical work consumes energy quickly, and he was hungry before the morning had passed.

Ye Yaodong also felt that manual labor made him hungry quickly, but he was not in a hurry because the fish had to be bled first.

By the way, put the first ghost-head sword that has almost finished bleeding into a large plastic box with ice cubes.

Of course, big fish must be treated like big fish, and they must have deluxe single rooms. This is something he has newly prepared. The yellowfin tuna did not enjoy it a few days ago, so he neglected it.

Ye Yaodong held the lunch box in his hands. The lunch box almost fell to the deck with trembling hands. Fortunately, he caught it quickly, otherwise he would have suffered from the northwest wind or licked the deck.

Return to the small fishing village of 1982.
