Chapter 862 I’m Numb From Fishing!

"Fish school!"

"There must be a school of fish!"

"So what if it doesn't leave the bottom?"

"You can still pull it up!"

Liu Bin was very excited.

When we first came here, Zhong Shizhu, Lei Dayou, and I were eager to catch a grouper off the bottom. When we found that there was none, we were very disappointed.

Now that we have caught fish one after another, we find that it is not a bad thing for groupers to stay on the ground. It is even a good thing. You can still catch them by hitting the bottom.

We go out to sea to fish. As long as we can catch fish, who cares how we catch them? As long as we can catch them, we can make a lot of money.

Zhao Dahai shook the spinning wheel twice to reel in the line. The grouper that was hooked was pulled away from the seabed, so he did not continue to reel in the line. Instead, he waited for two minutes, waiting for the hooked fish to stop struggling before continuing to shake the wheel to reel in the line.

Zhao Dahai pulled the fish out of the water and saw that it was a grouper weighing about 50 kilograms. This basically confirmed that there was a school of groupers weighing about the same size on the seabed tonight.

"Hurry up!"

"Catch more fish in a hurry!"

"Don't rush to pull up after knocking on the bottom. Wait for about a minute. If you don't see the fish bite the hook, pull it to the bottom and try it."

Zhao Dahai reminded Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou loudly that they must speed up fishing.

Now it seems that there should be a grouper, but this kind of fish can't stay in one place for a long time. No matter what, groupers are fish with territory. It is very likely that these fish are just gathering in this place for a short time. They must hurry up.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou knew that it was very important to hurry up now. They fished quickly without saying a word. They pulled out a grouper weighing 50 to 60 kilograms, got on the speedboat, removed the hooks and pushed them into the live cabin.

Zhao Dahai moved the speedboat from time to time, but the movement was not particularly large. He kept circling in one place. It turned out that this method was very effective. He kept fishing and never stopped.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Zhong Shizhu looked at the rod on the gun mount and had a headache. It was completely stuck at the bottom this time.

"Zhao Dahai."

"What should I do now?"

Zhong Shizhu turned his head and called Zhao Dahai. Going out to sea for fishing, especially bottom fishing, it is common to get stuck at the bottom. Once it gets stuck at the bottom, there is only one choice, that is, to break the line, but the situation is different now. Fish are caught one after another on the seabed in front of him. If the line is broken, it is not likely to scare away the fish on the seabed. But no matter what, there must be such a possibility.

Zhong Shizhu did not dare to act rashly. Some things must be asked to Zhao Dahai. People with rich fishing experience or fishing experience know very well that sometimes it is just a small action, and the result may be very different.

Zhao Dahai shouted to Zhong Shizhu to cut the line without thinking. He absolutely couldn't break the line at this time. He really didn't know what would happen. This was actually the same as the fish taking the bait and running away. Sometimes, if only one fish ran away, the consequences would be disastrous. The fish at the entire fishing spot might not bite.

Zhong Shizhu immediately took the scissors and cut the line. Hundreds of dollars disappeared and sank to the bottom of the sea, but compared with scaring away the fish, this was very cost-effective.

"Ha!"

"Zhong Shizhu."

"Your technique is really too poor!"

Lei Dayou stared at the gun mount in front of him while talking. When he saw the steel bar shaking a few times, he immediately pushed the electric reel forward and turned the fish to hook.

"That's right!"

"This technique is really too poor. I guess I need to practice it well. How can it compare with us?"

Liu Bin said while patting his rod hard. There was a fish on it that was being pulled up. It would be pulled out of the water in about 20 meters.

"Pfft!"

"Where did we get the skills? It's just that we're a little more lucky!"

"How can you not get stuck when fishing in a place like an artificial island reef? But then again, why are there so few fish that get stuck tonight?"

Zhong Shizhu tied the pendant again, hung the big octopus again, and put it into the sea to fish again.

Zhong Shizhu had never thought about this matter, and even kept knocking on the bottom, but never got stuck, and kept catching fish. He had long forgotten about this matter, and now that he said this, he realized that this matter was indeed a bit strange.

Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were stunned for a moment, and immediately turned their heads to look at Zhao Dahai. This was indeed a very strange thing.

People who fish know very well that there are many fish in the artificial island reef and the fish are very big, but there are so few fishing boats and speedboats here to fish and fish. The most important thing is that the seabed structure here is very complicated, and it is very easy to get stuck on the bottom or the fishing net.

Under normal circumstances, if you hit the bottom, you may get stuck, but after fishing for several hours tonight, it is the first time that you have gotten stuck.

"Haha!"

"What's so strange about this?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is definitely very easy to get stuck. Even if the king of heaven comes, it will be useless."

"With the skills in your hands, you can indeed reduce the number of times you get stuck, but you still can't avoid it."

"Tonight, we have been fishing here for such a long time, but there are only a few fish that get stuck. The most important thing is that the seabed here is full of fish tonight. As long as the hook reaches the seabed, there will almost be fish biting the hook. In this case, how can the hook get stuck on the seabed?"

While Zhao Dahai was talking, he looked at the fish he was lifting up. It was about 50 kilograms, a little bigger, and fatter and shorter, maybe 60 kilograms.

Although the grouper on the seabed tonight did not leave the bottom, you had to hit the bottom to catch it, but there were indeed a lot of groupers tonight. All ran out of the hole and gathered at the fishing spot in front of you.

No matter what kind of bottom-knocking, as long as it hits the bottom, there is a chance of getting stuck. Artificial islands and reefs are more likely to get stuck. The reason for the bottom-knocking is very simple. The lead weight hits the bottom of the sea, and there is no fish on the hook. It is easy to get stuck when it is pulled up. If there is a fish on the hook, the chance of getting stuck when it is pulled up will be very low.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou just remembered that Zhao Dahai just reminded them not to rush to pull up after knocking the bottom. They have to wait for about a minute until no fish bites the hook before pulling. There are so many fish in the sea now. Almost all fish bite the hook after waiting, and the chance of getting stuck is very low.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou admire Zhao Dahai very much. He is really very accurate and quick to react. The ideas he came up with seem insignificant, but in fact they can play a huge role. If they don't wait a little longer on the seabed, even if they can catch fish, they may not be able to catch so many, and it is very likely that they will get stuck again and again. If there are too many bottom hooks, the fish on the seabed will definitely be frightened and become more cautious in biting. In turn, the fish caught will become less. All of them are linked together. As long as a small link is not handled properly, it is impossible to catch too many fish. Zhao Dahai is so good at this.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou continued to fish without resting. They just took the time to smoke or drink some water when the fish were pulled out of the water. If they were hungry, they would fill their stomachs with the bread that had been prepared long ago, or other things.

Five o'clock in the morning.

The dark sky slowly turned white, and only a small piece of the moon was left hanging in the sky.

Zhao Dahai stared at the rod on the gun mount in front of him. The rod shook twice and pushed the electric reel hard.

"Here comes the fish!"

Zhao Dahai shouted, but he was not very energetic. One was tired, and the other was that he had been fishing all night, one after another, and he had long been numb. At the beginning, I used a handheld spinning reel rod, but now I have changed to an electric reel to save effort.

"Zhao Dahai."

"Why are you like this?"

"I can't say how many fish I caught, but it must be 50 kilograms."

"If it's alive, it can be sold for at least 300 yuan per kilogram, and this fish is 15,000 yuan."

"Why are you not excited at all?"

Lei Dayou said while slapping his face hard. He has been fishing all night. Don't look at the electric reel, in fact, he is very tired.

"Ah!"

"What can we do? The average number of groupers caught by each of us is about 30, right?"

"1,500 kilograms of fish!"

"Total, we caught about 5,000 kilograms of groupers tonight!"

"Everyone feels tired after catching so many fish. I was really excited at the beginning, but now I'm really numb."

Liu Bin yawned. He just pulled out another 40-kilogram blue grouper. He reached out and grabbed it and carried it to the deck, unhooked it, and pushed it into the live cabin. He didn't know how many times he had done this tonight, and his hands felt a little tired.

"Thirty? I estimate that there must be more than 40 or even 45!"

Zhong Shizhu shook his head. The 30 that Liu Bin said was a bit conservative.

"Ah?"

"If you calculate it this way, wouldn't we have caught 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of groupers tonight?"

Liu Bin was shocked. If each person really caught 40, the four of them must have caught 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms tonight.

Liu Bin immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Dahai. He, Zhong Shizhu and Lei Dayou were concentrating on fishing and were not particularly clear about it, but Zhao Dahai must have been very clear about it.

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded. The groupers caught tonight must be at least 7,000 kilograms, and 8,000 kilograms is not impossible. He has been fishing for such a long time and has caught a lot of fish. It is not that he has never caught so many fish before, but if he fishes all in one night, such a number is really amazing.

Zhao Dahai knew very well that he could not catch so many fish in one night, even if the sea was full of fish. Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou got on the speedboat, which was a very correct decision. The money earned from the groupers caught in one night was already very considerable, and it was definitely more than two million.

Zhao Dahai turned his head to check the time on the speedboat. It was already past 5:30. He looked up at the sky again, thought about it, and called Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to put away their fishing rods and stop fishing.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou were very surprised. There were indeed fewer fish in the sea now, but they could still catch fish if they continued fishing, and they could still catch a lot. One more fish could earn them 10,000 yuan or even 15,000 yuan or more, which was not a small amount.

"Zhao Dahai."

"We are indeed a little tired after fishing for such a long time, but who doesn't get tired when going out to sea? When there are fish, you have to work hard!"

"It's still early now, and we can still catch fish. Let's fish for another half an hour and then go back!"

Zhong Shizhu thought that Zhao Dahai saw that they were a little tired, so he wanted to end the fishing early.

Zhao Dahai shook his head. They were indeed tired, but as long as they went out to sea to fish and could catch fish, there was no reason to rest. He decided to leave here now. He didn't stop fishing because he thought Zhong Shizhu and himself were too tired.

Zhao Dahai pointed to the sea in the distance. It was already light, and some speedboats that went out earlier might arrive at the artificial islands and reefs.

Only I know this fishing spot clearly and familiarly. Once another speedboat comes and sees me fishing here, they will guess that there are fish here.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou realized that there are indeed fish in the sea, and there are still many fish that can be caught if they continue fishing. However, if what Zhao Dahai said really happens, it will be more trouble than gain.

Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou immediately started to collect their fishing rods.

Zhao Dahai waited for Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou to collect their fishing rods and put them away, and shouted to leave here first. At this time, there may be speedboats in the distance at any time. In order to keep this fishing spot, the sooner you leave, the safer it is.

The speedboat driven by Zhao Dahai drove towards the village for almost an hour before slowing down and gradually stopping.

As soon as Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou saw Zhao Dahai stop the speedboat, they immediately started to get busy. In order to save time when fishing, they would remove the hooks and throw them directly into the live tank. Now they have to check the condition of these fish. It will take a long time to go back. You know, these fish can only be sold at a higher price if they are kept alive, so they cannot be careless.
