Golden Fishery

Alligator gar is a giant freshwater carnivorous fish special in southern North America. It belongs to prehistoric fish and has survived on the earth for more than 100 million years. Its name comes from the shape of the snout, and the body grows hard scaly superhard enamel fish scales, which are as hard as human teeth.

Common adult alligator gars can be up to 3 meters long and weigh up to 300 pounds, but in their habitat, there are multiple discoveries that prove their body length can exceed four meters, such as the alligator gar in the lake of Hilton Manor Just four and a half meters.

In order to catch this alligator gar, the Texas government even dispatched a water police force to catch it using power grids and pneumatic spearguns, which are strictly prohibited for private fishing. It took more than a day.

So now that Qin Shiou was able to catch this alligator gar within 20 minutes, not only Opus didn't believe it, but everyone in the farm didn't believe it. A group of people stayed on the pier and whispered, in fact, they were sneering in a low voice:

"Does this guy know what an alligator gar is? Does he think it's a pike? Twenty minutes? No way!"

"Even pike can't be caught in twenty minutes. Can you find the fish in twenty minutes? It's funny. You're right. This guy probably doesn't know what an alligator gar is."

"Then when he sees such a big guy later, will he pee his pants in fright?"

"Of course, that's for sure. The Japanese are very timid. When I was in middle school, I used a black mamba with my teeth pulled out to scare a Japanese. Haha, that guy was so scared that he fainted!"

Nelson and Byrd looked at these people who were arguing with strange eyes. Some people felt embarrassed, so they reminded them "kindly": "You'd better prepare a boat to save people later, he may not know alligator gar It would be terrifying if you slipped and fell into the water later.”

"Yes, the alligator gar is not a giant catfish - well, maybe a full-sized pangasius is more terrifying, but this alligator gar is much bigger than the one you just encountered!"

Nelson smiled and said in a low voice, "A bunch of idiots!"

Bird also smiled and said disdainfully, "A bunch of idiots!"

Qin Shiou released the sea god consciousness before sailing. All of a sudden, I found the giant alligator gar basking in the sun on the water in the middle of the lake.

This guy is really not easy to provoke from the outside, its left eye has disappeared, leaving only a big black hole, and the hard scales around the eye socket are covered with many scars. The huge mouth is occasionally opened, exposing the sharp teeth growing on both sides of the upper jaw. There are two rows in total, each of which is ferocious and sharp, completely different from the blunt giant catfish teeth.

look down.

Its mouth protrudes forward, similar to the snout of a crocodile. Its body is long and cylindrical, covered with bluish-gray diamond-shaped scales. The scales are crystal clear and hard, with dark black markings. The back is brown or olive, because it is basking in the sun on the surface of the water, so the sunlight can shine on the scales of its body, refracting bright rays of light.

In fact, from the appearance point of view, the alligator gar is still very beautiful. Of course, the premise is that they are smaller in size. They are quite famous among ornamental fish. They have the nickname of "ghost rocket". They are known as carnivorous machines with hard scales and living fossils in aquariums.

It's just that when a fish grows to four and a half meters, it has nothing to do with viewing in any case. All you can see now is horror!

Not only humans are afraid of it, other big fish in the water are also afraid of it, whether it is a giant catfish or a jellyfish when it surfaces to bask in the sun. I dare not provoke it, and occasionally swim past it, I must be careful and move as fast as I can.

When Qin Shiou approached it, there happened to be a Nile catfish swimming towards several North American pike. It may be deceptive to hold that the alligator gar has been floating quietly on the water surface. The North American pike swam past it in a panic, trying to get rid of the big evil star behind it.

As a result, when the North American pike twisted their bodies and swam into the figure of the alligator gar, it suddenly lowered its head and shot down, only to see its body twisting flexibly, quickly covering the bodies of these North American pike like a torpedo. The big mouth opened with a few 'clicks' and 'clicks', and several North American pike were buried in its huge mouth!

At this time, the one-meter-long Nile catfish just swam over. It is said that it is also a tough guy. It is the number one killer in African river waters, but it will be honest when facing the alligator gar. Seeing the food being plundered , honestly turned and left...

"It's really useless!" Qin Shiou said disdainfully, but this way he had a good chance to make a move, because when the alligator gar swooped down from the water to hunt these North American pike just now, its tail fluttered and produced a high Splash exposed its own coordinates.

It was easy for Qin Shiou to hunt and kill alligator gar. What he was struggling with was how to prevent these people from noticing the strangeness, especially finding the location of this fish. But now, the automatic exposure of the alligator gar gave him a reason.

Qin Shiou rowed the boat quickly, then combined the nylon rope, plastic foam, and long tube, hung a fresh pike on the double-sided hook, made seven or eight baits in a row, and threw them into the water. set up a hook net.

Seeing this scene, Opus showed a mocking smile on his face, shook his head and said: "No, the method of big floating fishing is useless."

The fishing method used by Qin Shiou is called big floating fishing. Fishermen are specially used to catch big fish. They use cut carp meat as bait, and cast many large floating fishing at one time on the water surface at night. Because of the buoyancy of the Styrofoam, they can't escape and are easily pulled up in the end.

But what Opus said is right, it likes to drag the food for a certain distance before swallowing the bait, so that when it emerges from the water and swims, it will find the plastic pipe and plastic foam that are moving behind it. Even if there is no pull, they will be alert and go away, so this method is useless against them.

But it was useful for Qin Shiou. After the pikes were put down, the alligator gar quickly found them, and the pikes swung their bodies in fright and wanted to escape, which quickly attracted the interest of the alligator gar. With a fierce roar, he rushed over.

Because of their body curves, the alligator gar swims silently like a ghost, and is as fast as a rocket ascending to the sky. This is the origin of their nickname "ghost rocket".

This guy is very greedy. After swimming over, instead of surfacing after biting a fish, he bit several pike into his mouth one after another, and then he habitually floated to the surface to swim.

It was too late and then too soon, at this moment, Qin Shiou swung his arm and shot the harpoon in his hand violently!

The people on the shore were dumbfounded, and someone shouted: "There are still twenty meters away, he thinks he is a sharpshooter..."

Before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly, because blood had already begun to boil with the splash on the lake! (To be continued.)
