The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded
Chapter 144 The Head of the Fish King
It turned out that what he caught was a corrugated lobster that is only found in the Baodao Strait in China, and normally needs to be imported.
The production of this kind of lobster is also very small, so it needs to be imported.
The one that Chu Mingcheng caught was only over two catties, which is considered a relatively large individual.
In terms of price, it is a little higher than green lobster, not much higher.
Chu Mingcheng put it in a net bag, and if he couldn't find other lobsters at night, he would take it.
The fish resources in the shallow water area were still less, so he simply checked the time on his diving watch and planned to go to the deep water area to have a look.
Sure enough, as soon as they came to the deep water area, groups of fish were swimming on the coral reefs, including sea wolves, snappers and other fish that Chuming City had seen.
There are more small ornamental fish, but he is only interested in food and not interested in raising them.
The main target of Chuming City today is some grouper fish that like to hide in the coral reefs. As for these fish swimming in the middle and upper layers, we will let them go for now.
The main reason is that they are not big enough or fat enough to have any economic value.
He climbed over a coral reef, and accidentally found a very large devil fish swimming slowly not far in front of him.
I can't tell what kind it is for the time being, but its size is estimated to weigh at least a hundred catties.
Chu Mingcheng hesitated again and again, but still didn't want to go back and bring the spear gun.
No matter how big a devil fish is, it can't be sold for money, don't look at it weighing more than one hundred catties.
Even if he worked hard to get it on the boat and transport it back to the pier, no one would probably want it.
Maybe it has to be divided into pieces and sold, and a few hundred yuan in the end is not bad.
But Chu Mingcheng still followed, adjusted the camera on his head, and captured all its swimming postures.
After following for a few minutes, Chu Mingcheng found a rather big hole at the bottom, even he could barely get in.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, he found a parrotfish with a whole body of green and yellow.
This fish is called green-spotted parrotfish, also known as green-coated fish.
Usually it is used to pretend to be a genuine Tsing Yi like Shu's Pigtooth Fish, but in fact it is just a fake Tsing Yi. Fortunately, the price is not cheap, and it can be sold for about 130.
The blue-spotted parrotfish inside is not small at all. It was hiding safely in this fully enclosed cave, but it was scared by this sudden intruder and ran around, but it didn't dare to run out of the cave. .
Chu Mingcheng stepped forward to block the hole, and then picked up the fish spear.
Because of his appearance, the cave suddenly became very crowded, and the blue-spotted parrotfish hid in a corner and shivered.
This is just convenient for him to hunt fish, the spear is aligned, and the arrow hits the meat with a "bang".
The blue-spotted parrotfish struggled desperately, but Chu Mingcheng pinned it inside with the fish spear, making it unable to resist at all.
After a while, the fish died and was taken out by his hands.
This fish is a bit big, at least ten catties or more, but its mouth is not big, and the live fish buckle doesn't seem to be easy to use.
So Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to go back to the boat and put it on the crushed ice in the foam box for preservation.
The fish is very fat and beautiful, which makes people like it.
Looking at the time, more than ten minutes had passed, Chu Mingcheng went to the trap to take a look when he went into the water again.
The result is also very gratifying, and the trap that was put down at the earliest has already paid off.
He lifted the bamboo stick, only to find that it was a green mantis shrimp with a reddish-black belly.
This kind is also a kind of shrimp aunt, but the body is not so big, and the largest grows to 18 centimeters.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the mantis shrimp that was entangled in the trap, and finally decided to take it back first.
Putting the mantis shrimp in the bottle, he went on to find the second trap.
Eight of the ten caves were hooked. Except for one mantis shrimp, the rest were all grouper shrimp.
The smallest one was as big as that mantis shrimp, Chu Mingcheng put it away, and the smaller ones would be eaten by himself.
After swimming around, the ten traps were placed again, and he continued to swim to the deep water area.
Then, a fish slowly wandering on the coral made his heart beat fast.
The body is brown and white, the brown is lighter and black dots are all over the body, the back is arched high, but the head is very small, a bit like a mouse.
This is an extremely precious wild mouse spot, but unfortunately it is a bit small, with a high probability of only a little over a catty.
Chu Mingcheng slowly approached with the fish spear in hand, but Mouse Ban was extremely cautious, he was seven or eight meters away, so he ran away.
He immediately chased after him, and the mouse spotted was swimming in a hurry, but only with high explosive power, it would slow down after swimming a certain distance, and could not continue to burst away.
This also allowed Chu Mingcheng to keep up completely, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch up.
Seemingly realizing that he couldn't escape, the mouse suddenly jumped into the crevice of the coral reef below with a swipe.
Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up, it really couldn't escape now.
Approaching slowly, he condescendingly looked for where Mouse Ban was hiding.
Soon, he discovered that the mouse spot was only hiding in one place, a bit like under a stone at the bottom of an arch bridge.
This space is not big, just enough for it to hide.
This hides beautifully!
Chu Mingcheng put away the fish spear and approached it obliquely from behind, so that the opponent would not be able to spot him by sight.
After getting very close to it, he suddenly reached out to block the front and back of its hiding place.
This is why he can almost ignore the resistance in the water, so he can move so agilely.
If it was a different person, the mouse spot would not be caught by this method of blocking the door. The resistance of the water would slow down the movement of normal people.
Moreover, the water flow brought up will also make Mouse Ban notice it, so it will run away directly.
Blocked from front to back, Mouse Ban wanted to escape from the gap, but was squeezed against the stone by Chu Mingcheng's hands.
Then, it was controlled by his hands and grabbed.
Successfully catching a fresh mouse spot, Chu Mingcheng was happier than the green-spotted parrotfish just now.
Don't look at the appearance of this mouse spot, which is only a little over a catty, the price might be sold for five hundred.
The price of mouse spots is so expensive, fresh ones cost four to five hundred per catty, and the bigger they are, the more expensive they are.
But if it is dead, it is estimated to be around 80 to 100.
There is not much difference between the price of some live fish and the price of dead fish, and even many marine fish cannot live on the shore, and there is no live fish price at all.
But this kind of mouse-spotted live fish is very different from dead fish, so Chu Mingcheng is so happy to catch a live fish.
He took Mouse Ban back to the boat directly, put the fish box on it and filled it with oxygen.
The first of the four fish kings on Hong Kong Island deserves such treatment.
Then he looked at his spear and felt that killing such a precious fish seemed a bit reckless.
So he stopped going into the water, took out the fishing line, hook and lead pendant from the fishing box and tied them up, and then cut some squid meat.
Sure enough, it is more reliable to lure them with bait at the entrance of the grouper. Now the time is coming to the evening, and the grouper will be active before 9:30 in the evening. At that time, the effect of fishing should be good.
After the squid meat was cut, Chu Mingcheng put everything aside and entered the water again empty-handed.
He wanted to catch grouper prawns before dark, and go fishing for grouper after dinner.
Busy until 5:30, Aunt Banqin Shrimp caught a total of twenty-seven. Chu Mingcheng took back the bottles and put them all into the live fish cabin.
This thing takes up a bit of space, and Xiagu would die easily if it was placed outside. Now he understood why others didn't do this thing in the sea.
Trouble aside, it takes up space and is not easy to save. They should be willing to catch some cheap fish and punch the number rather than get this.
Use a towel to wipe off the sea water on his body. It's okay in the water, he can't feel the cold.
But when he came up and was blown by the sea breeze, Chu Mingcheng immediately became unbearably cold.
After drying off the moisture, he hurried into the cockpit and turned on the air conditioner before he felt comfortable.
I had to go into the water at night, so I didn't take a shower.
Take out the Liujianshenxian and steam it directly. After steaming, pour steamed fish soy sauce, sprinkle chopped green onion and chili millet. Once the hot oil is poured, it will be fragrant immediately.
This fish is not sold in the market, but the fish is very tender and tastes very good, Chu Mingcheng is very satisfied.
I just don’t know why no one buys them on the market to eat them. Although they are rare, they are not as rare as wild mouse spots.
After eating dinner and resting in the cab for a while, Chu Mingcheng went into the water again with the half-cut squid meat in a net bag and the thread set fishhook he had made.
This time he was not wearing a video camera because he was carrying a diving headlight.
Now is the peak season of fish activity. As soon as it entered the water, Chu Mingcheng saw many rare coral fish and grouper swimming at the bottom, and occasionally saw big fish hunting small fish.
Chu Mingcheng swims at a height of about ten meters above the bottom. Generally, this height will not make the fish vigilant. Secondly, he can pull the bait easily after the hook hits it.
It uses a strong horse wire and a steel wire lead, but it is not afraid of breaking.
Soon, Chu Mingcheng locked on the target.
A grouper whose color is not clearly visible even if it has lights, looks a bit like the Eastern star grouper.
Chu Mingcheng slowly lowered the bait and stopped about twenty to thirty centimeters above the fish.
He could clearly see the fish being attracted and swimming back and forth under the bait.
Because of its existence, although the small fish gathered around are greedy for bait, they dare not get too close.
Then Chu Mingcheng watched the grouper come to the bait and swallowed the bait in one gulp.
Suddenly a strong force came from his hand, he happily pulled the line back, first pulled it to the middle waters, and then let it circle around him for a while.
After it got tired, Chu Mingcheng pulled all the fishing line back and grabbed the grouper with his hand.
Unexpectedly, it was really a western star spot, which should weigh three or four catties.
He put the live hook through the gills of the fish and secured it before taking the hook out of its mouth.
Let the fish float two meters behind him, Chu Mingcheng took out a piece of squid meat from the net bag and hung it up again, looking for the next suitable target.
There were so many fish that it dazzled him.
After swimming more than 20 meters, he found a suitable target fish again, which was a Zhengqingyi, also known as Shu's pigtooth fish.
The fish was very big, a circle bigger than today's blue-spotted parrotfish.
The resources of coral reefs at night are really good, but if you fish on a boat, the effect may be mediocre.
Compared with precious fish, there are more miscellaneous fish here, and they are easier to hit.
Although it is troublesome for him to do this, the accuracy is high.
Moreover, Chu Mingcheng was much more comfortable in the water. After all, he could swim freely, even in the icy sea, he would still feel comfortable, but fishing in the boat with the sea breeze blowing was not so comfortable.
Shu's pigtooth fish was a little dumbfounded, it just wanted to find something to eat to fill its stomach when it came out at night.
Its main food is some hard-shelled shellfish, sea urchins and slow molluscs.
Unexpectedly, a piece of meat suddenly appeared on its head. Under the two options of eating or not eating, it just hesitated for three seconds, and then took a bite of the food.
Unexpectedly, after eating a piece of squid meat, what he lost was all his worth.
The fish was very big, and it took a lot more effort to pull it than the previous Dong Xingban. Chu Mingcheng simply adjusted its position and let it pull itself in the open middle waters.
No hydro assist, but the weight is there.
Shu's pigtooth fish surrendered after running for a while, and was pulled to the front by Chu Mingcheng.
The teeth of this fish are ugly, but the bite force is not a joke, and the fish is big enough, maybe twenty catties.
So he took it directly back to the boat and raised the fish in the living water tank, and Dong Xingban was put together with Mouse Ban.
