Matt started to throw bait, while Bei Hai stayed in the cabin and listened to the voices from the public channels on the radio. They were all the voices of the captains. From here, Bei Hai knew which boat caught fish again, or the captain who had not caught it, with envious words.
Just as Bei Hai was listening, he heard the radio on his boat ringing.
"Hello, Corrugation" Bei Hai was still a little happy when he received someone else's radio for the first time, and even his tone was a little excited.
Digo's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hull, it's me Digo! Have you left the port?"
"I have left the port and I have all gotten off the anchor and started fishing," Bei Hai said happily to Digo, "How are you doing there? Have you gained anything?"
When Bei Hai heard Digo's tone, he knew that this person had something good, and the excitement in his words could be felt through the phone.
"Yes! Of course there are gains." Bei Hai's words touched Digo's itch and immediately said to Bei Hai: "I haven't told anyone about this place yet. I have caught two of them from yesterday to today. Yesterday one was just enough in size, and today one was more than 400 pounds, which is estimated to be at least 5,000 US dollars. This year it's a good start. Thank you, Hull!"
"You're welcome!" Bei Hai was so happy after hearing this. It was probably because the original fish had returned. The food at the bottom of the sea was quite rich. Even if the previous fish did not go back, other fish might have passed. In short, Digo caught fish, which was also good news for Bei Hai.
"No wonder I didn't hear others discussing your gains on the radio," Behe said to Digo.
Digo laughed loudly after hearing this: "No one else asked me, they probably didn't know that I caught fish! By the way, why didn't I see your boat?"
At this time, Digo remembered that he hadn't seen the Behaviori Rogue around him, and then he called to ask, and this ripped up his catch.
"I'm not there, I've changed the anchor that I just got off in a new place. Matt is throwing bait..." Bei Hai said to the telephone.
Beihai was talking to Digo here, and Matt heard the call in the cockpit clearly. When Digo arrived at Beihai's previous instructions, he caught two fish. Although it was not too big, a catch line that had just passed the lowest 185 cm. However, for fishermen now, every bluefin tuna is precious. No matter how big or small there is a catch, it can be obtained. Although some fish are small, they may be of higher quality than those that are twice as big.
After hearing these words, Matt finally let down his heart a little bit. He heard this. His "little captain" was a little more powerful than Digo. Although Digo is not the best among all the tuna captains, he is not as good as those who are outstanding in the fishing season every year. However, he has been working for more than ten or twenty years, and his level is still a little bit.
If Beihai's level is above Digo, will his work be more stable this fishing season?
"New place? How about the fish?" Digo immediately asked when he heard that Beihai had arrived at the new place.
"Do you want to come here?" Bei Haixian didn't talk about the coordinates and just asked Digo back.
"I'd better be here first. There are still a few fish on the radar, which are 150 meters under the water. Isda is luring them up, and they look very small," Digo said to Beihai.
As soon as Digo's words fell, Bei Hai heard the sound of the radar on his boat from the telephone.
"I won't tell you anymore, fish are coming up again. What a great place!" Without waiting for Bei Hai to answer, Digo hung up the phone immediately. He probably went to the stern of the boat to see if the fishing rod was bent.
Putting down the phone, Bei Hai walked to the stern of the boat and watched Matt throw the bait.
Matt looked at the 'little captain' who stretched his head and looked at the sea water and asked, "Why don't you go to Digo's place? It seems that you told him that place."
Matt thought it was a little strange. If there was a new fishing spot, even the generous tunic fisherman would not tell others. Not to mention that he could catch a few at once, even the old fisherman would not tell others that he had caught one place.
Even though the two of them have a good relationship on the shore, it is difficult to get new fishing spots from others. This is also a survival for some people. Tuna is an important way to settle the bills at home.
"Tuna is also a fish, and there are still traces to be found in the analysis of life habits. After summarizing it, you can guess where there are fish, and the chance of having big fish can be seen through sea water. The greater the chance of having big fish in the water. These can be drawn out by some observations, and then luck is added. This is very important..." Bei Hai looked at the sea water and ran the train with his mouth full of attention.
In fact, if there were no underwater native dogs, Bei Hai knew a lot of tunas, what lived on the seabed, feeding on the fishing ground, and so on, fishermen knew about it a hundred or two years ago, and they said it to Bei Hai. The key is that Bei Hai knew that he said this, but others were not easy to ask. Even if he asked, he could not answer it if he saw the rich sea water. After all, this is a fisherman's food, and there is a catch in the tuna season. The United States now does not allow bluefin tuna to be caught by trawlers. It is hard to say that this kind of competition is fierce.
Bei Hai was talking nonsense, and the radar on the Corrugated Blade emitted a cheerful sirens in Bei Hai's hands for the first time.
After hearing this, Bei Hai immediately ran to the cab and saw several red lines on the radar that looked like thermal imaging, accurately and clearly displayed on the screen.
"All of them are good fish." The old fisherman Matt stretched his head and saw the length and thickness of the red line on the screen. He knew that the tuna under the boat was not small. After that, Matt returned to the edge of the bait box and started to throw bait two or three pieces together.
Just after throwing it twice, a fishing rod at the stern of the boat immediately shook lightly, and then turned into a bow shape.
"It's hooked!" Matt immediately put down the small iron fork that was throwing the bait and ran towards the bent fishing rod.
Bei Hai immediately wrapped the fishing lines on the other two rods. He rolled the lines at a rapid speed as quickly as possible to prevent the two fishing lines from wrapping around the fishing lines that catch fish. As soon as they are wrapped, the fishing lines will basically break and the fish will be gone.
After putting away two rods, Beihai stood behind Matt.
Matt concentrated on rolling the thread, pulling it firmly.
"Do you want me to help?" Bei Hai asked.
"No! You can control the ship later," Matt said happily to Beihai. For a fisherman, there is something happier than pulling a big fish.
Bei Hai also wanted to test Matt's level. Being an old fisherman has rich experience means fewer mistakes. Bei Hai wants to see if the fish can be dragged onto the boat with Matt alone from now on, without the help of a native dog. Of course, as long as Matt does not fail, when it comes to using a harpoon, Bei Hai will not let the fish run away.
“Go ahead!”
When Bei Hai heard Matt say this, he immediately pushed the control console on the side of the ship. This control console makes it easier to see the fish in the water. Tuna fishing boats usually have such a simple control console at the stern, but each boat is naturally different in position according to the captain's habits. The control console of the Corrugated is in the middle of the port side of the stern.
According to Matt, Beihai controlled the ship for more than ten minutes, and the first fish of the Corrugated was pulled to the side of the ship by Matt.
"I saw it, Captain, prepare the spear, it's such a bigfish! It's so beautiful," Matt said to Beihai.
After Matt said this, he turned his head and saw that Bei Hai had stood beside him, and the super-long fishing gun in his hand had flew out. The super-long fishing gun almost did not splash, and it accurately pierced the fish's back.
"Beautiful!" Matt couldn't help but praise. With his years of experience, if it weren't for a coincidence, there wouldn't be more than five fishermen of this level in Gloucester.
The horse spear accurately pierced the fish's back. Bei Hai held the rope at the tail and pulled the tuna to the side of the boat. Soon the fish was pulled to the side of the boat. Matt picked up the lasso and put it on his tail.
Although it was the first time they did it together, the two of them were like walking, opening the gate and dragging the fish. In just five or six minutes, the bluefin tuna was dragged onto the boat.
"YES! This fish is over 500 pounds," As soon as the fish got on the boat, Matt and Behai slapped their palms and began to prepare for the fish.
First, I cut a knife at the base of the fish tail to bleed, then took out the gills on the fish head, then took out the internal organs, and waited for a series of movements to finish, and the fish blood had been released. The whole movement was very fluent by Matt, and there was almost no pause in the middle. After the blood on the deck was flowing, the fish was processed.
Next, the two of them used the small crane on the boat to hold the fish tail, hang the fish into the storage compartment, and finally covered the fish body with ice. This was the real process of completing the work on the boat.
After doing everything, he re-loaded the bait and threw the fishing rod into the sea again. Only then did Matt happily twist his body and dance an unknown dance, singing a song in his mouth while throwing bait into the sea.
I didn't understand what song the old man was singing. It was Old Morgan's pleasure and funny movements that made Bei Hai feel very happy.
"Our first fish! HI! Captain, you are awesome!" Matt twisted his body and waved to Bei Hai: "Come together!"
