A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   (Thanks to the readers of "Braised Peanuts" for their 2000 starting point coins!)

   In the sea water, one after another huge shadows appeared in everyone's field of vision. They moved so fast that they disappeared from everyone's sight almost in the blink of an eye. It was estimated that they could not see it when they dived deeper into the sea. During the period, you can also see a small sea fish the size of a slap being overtaken by a yellowfin tuna and swallowed in one bite.

   "My **** of the sea, I estimate that there are yellowfin tuna within a 2-kilometer radius! The school of fish I encountered this time is so big!" Ueno Tanimura looked at the surrounding waters with a telescope and said in shock.

   "We were lucky this time, too. We didn't expect to encounter tuna while we were sailing! We did a few longlines a few days ago and didn't encounter tuna, but I didn't expect to encounter them today."

   "The yellowfin tuna I encountered today is so big, no smaller than the last time we encountered it."

   "Haha, look! Those little sea fish were chased and jumped out of the sea, what a poor little sea fish."

   "Boss, what are we waiting for, let's take the hook!"

   "Okay, get off the hook!" Minano Xiu nodded.

   Fishing nets are not suitable for large fish such as yellowfin tuna. The distribution range of this fish is too large. If you want to use fishing nets, the two fishing boats may be a little busy. Longline fishing is the most suitable.

In traditional longline fishing, a vinylon rope with a diameter of about 6 to 10 mm and a length of more than 100 kilometers is released from the boat. in water. There is an aluminum alloy round barb hook below the branch line, once the target is hooked, it is difficult to escape. To identify the position of the fishing gear, buoy lights are installed on the buoys on the dry line.

  This traditional longline fishing is to place a range of hundreds of kilometers to wait for the tuna to automatically come to the door to forage when it encounters a bite. This fishing method belongs to the wait-and-see type. This is not to take the initiative to attack, it means to cast a wide net, the number of placement is large, and the range is wide, and there will always be tuna caught in the bait. In addition to tuna, other fish will also bite. But none of that matters anymore.

   Now, Minano Shuichi uses longline fishing methods that are different from others. Others use long lines to wait for the tuna to catch a harvest. This kind of wait-and-see mode of fishing is very lucky. If you place the place without tuna passing by, it is equivalent to useless work.

  Minano Shuichi's work method is to first find the tuna school and then place the longline fishing, so that the longline fishing is in the fish school pile, and basically there will be fish hooked as soon as it is put down! Unlike traditional longline operations where you have to wait half a day or even a full day to see if you catch tuna.

  The way of fishing is the same, there is only one different place. Others use longline fishing to catch tuna to wait for the rabbit, while Minami Shuichi takes the initiative! Because he has the ability to locate schools of fish. Others can only rely on experience and wait for the rabbit, and they can take the initiative to find the fish directly and then act.

  On this point alone, Minami Shuuichi has dumped others for N streets!

   Fortunately, the current longline fishing is not as rampant as later generations, and the placement range is as long as hundreds of kilometers. It is estimated that it is at most tens of kilometers now. In fact, this fishing method is very harmful to the fishery. Therefore, the cause of the depletion of fisheries will appear in later generations.

  Imagine that hundreds of kilometers are longline fishing, and almost all the fish passing by will bite the hook. How many fish do you think you will catch? At that time, it was calculated by tons, and it was common for a fishery to catch tens of millions of tons of fish!

  The current traditional longline fishing methods have not yet achieved mechanization, and now they are basically artificial. But Hideichi Minano knew that within ten years, no matter what aspect of ocean fishing, there will be rapid development!

   "Boss, how many ticks?"

   "The King's Attack will start with a thousand ticks, and the rented fishing boat will also have a thousand ticks, and we will continue to add more later depending on the situation." Nanye Xiuyi thought for a while.

"it is good."

   "Bring out the frozen herring you caught last time."

   "Come on, let's help you put on the bait and adjust the fishing line to a depth of 100 meters."

   The bait used in longline fishing in this era was all frozen fish as bait, unlike the more scientific bait used in later generations - light rod bait (chemical bait). The great thing about the stick bait is its unique chemical smell that attracts tuna.

  Longline fishing is usually done early in the morning and starts at noon or midnight. This is completely unnecessary for Minamino Shuichi. Others do it because they sit back and forth. You don't need to do this yourself, the fish is here, and you can catch any fish when you put them down anyway!

   "The dry line is ready, you can cast the bait!"

   "Understood, the movements are quicker." Minano Shuichi directed the audience, and at the same time switched his vision to the water to monitor the school of fish.

  In this era, there is no electric wire pay-off machine and wire take-up machine, and it is all done by manpower. The fishing boat was driving forward, and the speed was about 8 or 9 knots. A group of sailors are quickly putting on the bait, and a few sailors are throwing the hooks of the bait into the sea.

   After a hook of bait was thrown into the sea, it quickly attracted the attention and **** of yellowfin tuna. Originally, the upper sea fish here were eaten by them. Now that they see a new "food" appearing, of course they are going to grab it.

   It's just that they know it's a trap until they bite the hook! Deadly trap!

   "I'll bet on a fish in ten minutes!" One sailor bet another sailor while throwing the bait in his hand.

   "I bet for five minutes!" The sailor continued with a smile: "What bet!"

   "If you lose, I will wash your clothes for you, how about it!"

   "Okay, if I lose, I'll wash your clothes for a week!"

"it is good!"

   "Haha, a tuna bit the hook. It seems like it's just over four minutes and less than five minutes. You lose, remember to wash my clothes for me."

   "So soon..." The sailor who made the bet was downcast.

   "A fish took the bait?" Minami Hideyoshi returned his vision.

   "Yes, boss, there seems to be more than one. It seems that seven or eight tuna have been bitten." Ueno Tanimura said excitedly.

   "Okay, hang it up and deal with it quickly. We have to race against time, this time is really time is money." Nanye Xiu said.

   Soon, a few Popeyes began to shake the spooler vigorously. The spooler in this era all relied on manpower to take up the thread, which was a cool job.

   "Crash!"

  A yellowfin tuna with a body length of about 2.5 meters appeared in everyone's field of vision.

   "Drag up."

   As the first yellowfin tuna was pulled up there was the second, third, fourth…
