Chapter 255 Ye Huimei's Little Red Hand
Today, most of the goods in the sticky net are toad fish. I collected a basket of about fifteen or six fish. There were also 3-4 flounder and devil fish each.
Barefoot, Ye Yaodong went to steer the boat to the waters where longline fishing was carried out.
After retracting the buoy and the sinker rope, he only retracted a few hooks before he heard the screaming in his ear.
"Third brother, let me come?"
"Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so big...Third Brother...Let me try it?"
"Ah, that's the yellowfin. I can see its golden fins."
"Tiger spots...Tiger spots...Ahh, third brother, you are so amazing, let me take it too? Third brother..."
Ye Yaodong felt a headache when he heard the non-stop chattering in his ears, "Can you be quiet for a while? Why didn't I know you were so good at screaming?"
While talking, he unhooked the four-pound tiger spotted fish from the hook. The fish kept wagging its tail and slapped his arm several times, and he threw it directly into the bucket filled with water.
This is the treatment for valuable live fish, and ordinary fish are only worthy of staying in the basket.
"Aren't I excited? There are plenty of goods on the hook at random. It's amazing. I even caught such a big grouper. The third brother is so amazing. Why didn't I know you were so amazing before?"
It feels good to have an extra little girl, but it’s also quite noisy...
He kept talking, he didn't know that his little sister could talk so much, and the excitement was as exciting as that of his eldest son.
"Hurry up, go ahead, let me try too?" She stretched out her hand straight away.
Ye Yaodong patted the back of her hand and stared at her, "What are you doing? Go aside. If you encounter a big fish in a while, I will pull you and drag you into the sea. Let's see who goes down to rescue you."
Ye Huimei touched the back of her red hand, and stared back, not to be outdone, "I'm such a big man, how could I be pulled into the sea? And I don't think the fish you pulled up was too big."
Ye Yaodong squinted at her, "That's because you didn't see it, don't make trouble, just stay and take a look at it."
Mother Ye also stretched her head to watch, "Will there be any big fish? How big? Otherwise, let me do it, and you go to the side to enjoy the fire. It's very cold without pants."
"Yes, third brother, I see goosebumps appearing on your legs."
"Who told you to watch it? Can you look at a man's legs casually?"
"Cut~ It's not like I haven't seen it before. I have seen you bathing by the back door in summer."
Ye Yaodong glanced at her, but felt that his hands were being pulled a bit too hard, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Isn't this coming?"
"What?"
"Show you the big fish."
He kept taking up the line in his hand, and stopped from time to time to see the fish in the sea. After letting go and letting go, he quickly took up the line again.
The eyes of the others were also fixed on the sea surface, only to see the ripples on the sea surface, and after a while, a big gray figure appeared under the water.
"Here it comes, it's really big. What kind of fish is this?" Ye Huimei cried out excitedly when she saw the figure appearing in the water.
"It's a shark!" She saw the wide mouth with a sharp bulge emerging from the water, and the shark fin on its back.
Mother Ye also said happily: "This shark is not small."
Father Ye also walked over curiously and took a look, "What kind of shark is this?"
There are various types of sharks in the sea, and most people don't recognize them all, but Ye Yaodong just happens to know them.
"This is a mako shark, I'll pull it up first."
He played with the shark for a long time, and when it stopped struggling, he slowly pulled it to the side of the ship, lifted it up, and dropped it onto the deck.
After playing games for a long time, his hands were a little sore. Just after a couple of squeezes, Ye Huimei came up to squeeze his arm with a smile, and smiled at him flatteringly.
"Are you tired, brother? I'll help you later!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and flicked her forehead, "I want to work so much, I will do it for you later, go, go, this one is a baby shark, not yet an adult."
"I'm not an adult, I'm already this big..."
Seeing the shark bouncing around on the deck, Mother Ye exclaimed, "My darling, it is so big that it is not yet an adult, so how big is this shark if it is an adult? Will it have to eat people? "
"It's not enough to eat people. Generally, fish will not take the initiative to attack people unless you smell blood on your body."
Ye Yaodong took a visual inspection, and the mako shark that was still jumping on the deck was about 1.56 meters tall, a little short of the adult fish.
This shark roams the oceans, sometimes traveling to coastal and offshore continental and island shelf waters.
Its body is spindle-shaped, the back is blue-gray, the mouth and abdomen are light-colored to white, the trunk is relatively thick, and the head and tail are gradually thinner.
There are 2 dorsal fins, the first dorsal fin is medium and large, and the second dorsal fin is very small. It also has pectoral and caudal fins.
The well-known shark fin is the filamentous cartilage in shark fins. It is made from the dried fins of the shark's chest, abdomen, and tail.
When fried, it is actually more like sweet potato vermicelli...
It's just that it's not as long as sweet potato vermicelli, it's shorter, and it's pointed at both ends.
Ye Yaodong waited for it to stop struggling, and then went up and knocked it unconscious with a stick. Looking at the little girl next to him, he turned his head and said, "I'm going to work on you, don't you want to help take up the line?"
"Ah, okay, I'll do it..." She turned her head and left happily.
"Be careful. If you feel the pull on your hand is stronger, call someone if it is heavier."
"knew."
After killing the shark, Ye Yaodong also went to look at her, but heard her exclamation.
"Ah...big yellow croaker? It doesn't seem to be..."
Ye Huimei pulled the line up, held the fish in her palm and looked through it, it seemed to be a large yellow croaker, but it didn't.
"Father, third brother, why do I feel that this is a big yellow croaker? I also feel that the color is wrong."
Everyone stretched their heads to see, Father Ye and Ye Yaodong said in unison, "It's the big yellow croaker."
"Damn it, I'm lucky! This big yellow croaker weighs more than a catty."
"But the color is wrong. Isn't the big yellow croaker golden? This color is a bit white."
Ye Yaodong explained: "The color of large yellow croakers during the day is a bit pale yellow, a bit lighter, and the ones caught at night will be golden yellow."
"Like this? So amazing?"
"Well, it's amazing! I just caught one at the beginning."
Ye Huimei opened her mouth suddenly, "Yes, that's fine, I just said let me do it, look!"
Ye Yaodong gave her a thumbs up, and then helped to remove the hook, and put the thread into the basket, "Go ahead, get a few more."
"hey-hey…"
She was very busy, and when encountering larger fish that were difficult to pull, Ye Yaodong started to help her.
Because it was released at night, the first wave is only received now. There are quite few hooks with empty baits, and the poor ones will also catch a dull fish or toad fish. Today even black mullet is less caught.
After the first yellow croaker was brought up, Ye Huimei took in several good ones one after another, and she also took in a yellow croaker, about 2 catties.
Ye Yaodong also threw the yellow dingba into the bucket, keeping company with the previous tiger spot.
Immediately afterwards, when receiving the last row, the hook exploded again, and it was very heavy. She shouted excitedly, "Third brother, come on, come on, there is a big fish, I pulled it so it sinks."
Ye Yaodong heard the words and hurried to help.
"Third brother, do you think it will be another shark?"
"Who knows, there was an earthquake in the sea two days ago, and the sea surface was turbulent for two days. I don't know how many fish were caught in it. Today, the trawler will make a fortune."
The fishing line was shortened little by little, and the face of the big fish in the sea was revealed, directly revealing the answer.
"Giant Cobia!"
"Huh? Haha...I'm too good...this fish is so big..."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy, "Well, that's awesome!"
"This fish is not small, and it's quite powerful, but it has caught a few good fish." Father Ye also praised her with a smile.
"Hey, third brother quickly pull up."
Ye Yaodong tugged for a long time, this fish was extremely fierce, struggling as hard as that mako shark, his arms and waist were sore, he just pulled it up, the hook fell straight away without releasing it. Let it bounce on the deck for a while.
This fish is also long and slender, with intercolor longitudinal bands on the body surface that are very attractive to the eye. The pectoral fins are light brown, and the upper edges of the pelvic and caudal fins are off-white. It is known as the "small warship" in the sea.
A small number of cobia not only have distinctive body colors, but also have neatly arranged luminous spots, which resemble metal buttons on military uniforms. There are as many as 300 of these luminous points dazzling.
So the cobia has the ability to "glow". But they hardly use their own light for lighting. Only in the mating season will the cobia display their "military" majesty and shine.
"This one is almost 30 catties, Huimei is very strong today!"
"That's... You are not happy to ask you to take up the cable for me?" Ye Huimei said triumphantly.
Father Ye smiled and said, "It's the right time to take you out to sea today."
"Fortunately, I didn't bring my aunt. You see how useful I am. The third brother was not happy yesterday. Now you know what I am?"
"Praise you a few words, are you still in heaven?"
Mother Ye also praised her, "She is a material that can go to sea."
Ye Huimei couldn't laugh or cry, her mother really doesn't know how to praise others.
"Mom, you should praise me for being amazing."
"Yes, yes, then go quickly, there is not much left, collect it."
"Yeah."
Today, she really experienced what it means to be soft when collecting fish. The series of hooks in this longline line hang there, which is equivalent to fish waiting in line to go ashore.
