Livestreaming the Hunt

Is this the Blue Devil?

Although the name is rather weird, in fact, the blue devil is the blue catfish. It has similar characteristics: no scales all over the body, a lot of mucus on the body surface, a flat head and a wide mouth, but it is different from the blue and black back surface color of ordinary catfish. This guy is grey-blue in color and has an extraordinarily large belly. Ordinary catfish have a flat body shape, but like the Siamese giant carp, it has a huge beer barrel belly and looks very strong.

The most eye-catching thing is its huge mouth.

If the mouth of the alligator gar is infinitely long, then the mouth of the catfish is infinitely wide.

The "1"-shaped mouth is the widest and largest part of the blue catfish's body. The upper and lower jaws also have the four iconic hard blue whiskers of the catfish.

A mouth.

Following the light, the audience can see the densely packed circles of tiny nails-like teeth in this guy's mouth. This is even more exaggerated than a crocodile gar, and can almost catch up with a shark!

"Hmph! Hmph!"

【Hey! Sound again! 】

[Ever since I was a child, I have always listened to fish talk! 】

[Is this fish the reincarnation of a pig? 】

[Silly pig, is that you? 】

…

The audience didn't see it clearly just now because it was blocked by a net. This time they saw with their own eyes that the pig-like sound really came from a fish.

"In fact, fish can make sounds, and they even use a variety of low sounds to convey messages to each other, including moans, grunts, gurgling, banging, hissing, squeaking, screaming and wailing. However, these sounds are not ours. Humans normally think of vocalization, because fish don’t have vocal cords, so they can only use other parts of their bodies to make noise, such as vibrating muscles in their bladders.”

"One of the characteristics of the blue devil is that it can use the fish cavity to squeeze air, compress and collide with the inner wall, making a sound like a pig's cry. This guy's scientific name is the long-finned catfish. It is the largest catfish in North America and the largest in the United States. One of the freshwater fish, the mature blue catfish is a "beast" that can swallow American herring, white bass, clams, and even stones. Many biologists are shocked by the degree of greed of this fish, and even call it the most popular fish in the world. The “Bengal Tiger” in the water is also called the Blue Devil!”

While Wang Kui was talking to the audience, the blue catfish was still biting in the air, making a clicking sound with its teeth, while squeezing out strange pig noises from its cavity. Hibiki, side evidence proves that this guy is indeed very fierce.

Despite this, this guy's ability to devour is strong, but he still can't break through the crocodile gar's top defense.

Therefore, in North America, even though the blue devil is widely distributed, the alligator gar is still the well-deserved leader.

After returning the fish to the tank.

Wang Kui saw that the fish caught by Robertson was also blue catfish. With some thought, he put live bait on the fishing rod in his hand and threw it back into the water.

After more than ten minutes, another fish was hooked, a 1.3-meter blue devil.

"It seems there are a lot of catfish under this water!"

Touching his chin, he found the basin where the nest material had been mixed before. There were still some large snapping turtle internal organs and shrimp and crab pieces left in it. After several hours of "fermentation", the blood and water from the internal organs were mixed with intestinal excretion, fat, and fresh water. The shell meat of seafood now smells straight to the nose.

"Since there are so many blue devils, we have to slightly change our strategy. Conventional catfish like loaches, earthworms and leeches, especially bait with a strong taste. Because catfish are scavengers, some areas will specifically raise them. Catfish come to clean up garbage, and most wild catfish basically contain excessive heavy metals, which is why Americans don’t like to eat catfish and allow them to breed in large numbers.”

“We don’t have time to get leeches and earthworms now, but the foundation of the internal organs we collected in the afternoon is still there. We put more commercial bait with a strong smell, mix it, and apply it on the live bait, which will increase the attraction to catfish. !”

So, Wang Kui stirred the bait with the dark red bloody viscera debris for a few times to form a mixed liquid of red, green and gray. Then he wrapped the small carp in these fishy fish fillets like bread crumbs. It was soaked in turbid mucus.

【啕! I'm going to vomit! 】

【It stinks to look at! 】

[Big Butt (excited): Don’t throw away the remaining soup, keep it for me to use as pickles! 】

[Fish: Don’t tell me you’re going to vomit, I’m going to vomit too! 】

[I really wonder if Lao Kui has lost his sense of smell. I always feel like he has no reaction at all to the stench of feces and urine! 】

[If a butcher feels that meat is fishy, ​​he cannot be a butcher at all. The same goes for Lao Kui. If he is afraid of these things, how can he become a professional hunter? 】

…

After preparations were completed, Wang Kui washed his hands and threw out the bait.

thump.

What he didn't expect was that the effect of Lao Kui's move was immediate. Not long after the live bait fell into the water, a huge pulling force came from the tip of the rod in the next second.

A fish is hooked!

"Hmm! This is a big fish! Oda, help me!"

In an instant, Wang Kui almost couldn't hold the fishing rod. After shouting these words, he hurriedly stepped on the edge railing of the fishing boat, pressed his hips back, and lowered his center of gravity.

at the same time.

More than ten kilometers away, on the bank of the Mississippi River.

A white fishing boat approached the weighing point, and two men stepped out of it. The older man was wearing a hat, and the other was wearing a face scarf. It was Pavimer and his assistant Means. .

The two worked together to pull up five big fish, including a blue devil that was even more than two meters long!

"712.5 pounds!"

When he heard the weigher talking about this number, Pavimo couldn't help laughing proudly, "Let's see how Wang Kui can beat me this time!"

While talking, he deliberately took out his mobile phone to see Wang Kui's weighing number.

Although he has been refreshing the data this afternoon, Wang Kui has not updated it for a long time. Now when he looks at it, it still shows "0".

"Is this kid giving up?"

Means is very confident in his fishing skills. He has lived in the Great Lakes region of North America since he was a child, and what he is best at is wild fishing.

"possible!"

Pavimo said this, but he was still a little worried in his heart, "But this Chinese guy is not easy to mess with. We can't underestimate him. There are still 3 hours left. Let's go out and catch a few more!"

"Okay boss!"

Means said this, but in his heart he didn't think Wang Kui would have a chance to surpass him. Apart from anything else, this kid couldn't get just a two-meter giant blue catfish!

"Damn it! Oh my god!"

In the Discovery Channel live broadcast room, Charles couldn't help but cursed in front of North American netizens.

but.

This swear word did not attract the attention of netizens.

Because all of their eyes were attracted to the deck of the fishing boat where Wang Kui was on the screen!

Asking for a monthly ticket! La la la!
