Chapter 1106: Overflowing, no empty hooks (Monthly ticket +3)

~14 min read 2,762 words

They did it at the same time yesterday, and they also discussed changing it, so they put down the same relatively dense ones. One line had five or six hundred hooks.

Those who went into the water went to salvage sea urchins, while those who were idle on the sea surface, Ye Yaodong also started calling them to collect longlines.

"Be careful when collecting. Don't get tangled with other fishing lines. Try collecting one first to see how the harvest is?"

The deckhand on the side echoed, "The bottom is all silver and shining, and they were all accurately thrown into the trench. There must be quite a few biting the hook."

"Yes, that large group, the biting rate definitely won't be wrong. Maybe one after another, and they can even bite their tails and come up."

"Other people put longlines and just throw them into the sea to try their luck, seeing how many can bite the hook, all depending on luck. Ours today is different. We threw them directly into the dense school of fish. How can the probability of biting the hook be bad? What's more, ribbonfish are also greedy."

"Right, this wave coming up definitely won't have a bad harvest..."

"It's a pity. After collecting them, the fishing lines will be messy. We have to take them back and reorganize them before we can continue to use them. Otherwise, there is still time today. We can take some small ones with poor quality and cut them to use as bait..."

"Isn't that a pity? This fish is very expensive. Cutting it directly to use as bait is a pity. This is fishing for ribbonfish, not net ribbonfish..."

"Who told us to have no bait? We didn't go trawling yesterday. The fish we ate last night were all brought by Old Pei..."

The deckhands all gathered together to chat and crane their necks to watch the longline fishing. They discussed everything chattering. When it wasn't their turn to go into the water, they were all very idle on the shore. Now just in time, there were things to pass the time.

Everyone was very optimistic about this wave of harvest. After all, all of them had gone into the water many times and knew the situation under the water surface. Although they couldn't go that deep, they fed the fish bait to their mouths. There was no reason for them not to eat.

"Coming, coming, feel the line at the bottom is very heavy..." The deckhand who was collecting the line with his hands reported the situation with a full face of smiles.

Everyone listened and couldn't help but urge.

"Coming..."

Ye Yaodong also stood on the side watching. However, theirs hadn't been pulled out of the water yet, and the people on Ah Guang's fishing boat on the side were already exclaiming in surprise.

"Wow, it's really glowing..."

"So the ribbonfish just caught are really glowing. The ribbonfish I usually see are all dead. This is the first time I've seen a live ribbonfish just out of the water..."

This is really true. Generally, ribbonfish explode as soon as they come out of the water because the deeper the water, the greater the pressure intensity.

Ribbonfish mainly live in sea areas below 30 meters and cannot adjust the pressure difference between high and low pressure, so the pressure intensity in the ribbonfish's body is equivalent to the pressure intensity in the deep sea.

When the ribbonfish is caught, because the air pressure intensity outside is much smaller than that in the ribbonfish's body, when it leaves the water surface, because the air pressure intensity is too small, it cannot withstand this pressure, causing fatal damage to the inside of the fish body, such as the sudden expansion and rupture of the swim bladder.

That's why you can't see live ribbonfish on the market, and many ribbonfish have their stomachs exposed, and the quality is not good.

The ribbonfish there had just been collected, and immediately ours also emerged from the water. After the deckhand shouted, everyone put their attention back on their own longlines.

"It's really bright..."

"It's really beautiful. The ribbonfish just out of the water is really good-looking..."

"This is fishing ribbonfish, net ribbonfish is not good-looking..."

"Like a glowing big sword..."

"You even know big sword?"

"Just kidding, I've also watched TV series, and I've also seen people in them holding swords. It's really the same, also long and silver..."

"Indeed, that group gathered in the trench at the bottom looks like it's turned on the lights. We are catching them during the day now. If we catch them at night, it's estimated to be brighter and better-looking."

The glowing of ribbonfish is related to its food chain. Ribbonfish often eat some algae containing glowing bacteria. These algae will emit fluorescence in the ribbonfish's body, which is a normal phenomenon.

In addition, the ribbonfish's body surface has many fine scales, which will reflect light, so the ribbonfish looks like it's glowing. Just out of the water, it will ripple in the sun, emitting silver light.

Just at this moment, a burst of exclamations came from the fishing boat on the side. Everyone had just turned their heads to look, and immediately ours also exclaimed one after another.

"Boom..."

"Damn..."

"Damn... it's hung full..."

"My god... it's really hung full..."

"Heavens, so many... all hung up..."

Ye Yaodong also opened his eyes wide and watched, saying "damn" one after another. Originally, he only saw a large, bright ribbonfish being pulled out of the water. Before he could finish appreciating it, he saw the fishing line behind it being pulled out of the water immediately, and every fishing line below was hung with large, silver-glowing ribbonfish.

The distance between the fishing lines caused the area of the ribbonfish behind to emerge from the water surface to be different. Finally, fish heads were also exposed on the fishing lines that could be seen.

Because the fishing lines were made denser, each fishing line was tens of centimeters apart. So after the main line was pulled up, the first line emerged from the water, and a ribbonfish had just floated more than half above the water surface, and other fishing lines with short intervals also followed and were pulled out of the water surface.

All the fishing lines that emerged were shining with silver light, and the length of the fish body exposed on the water surface of each fishing line was different, so everyone was surprised and widened their eyes.

At first, they thought it would be good if half of them bit the hook. Unexpectedly, just after being pulled up, the first ribbonfish hadn't been collected yet, and every fishing line exposed behind was actually glowing, without a single empty hook.

"Collect fast, collect fast..."

"Collect it fast and take a look. These are all full hooks..."

After everyone was pleasantly surprised, they urged to collect it quickly, and some even excitedly went up to help collect it.

"I'll come, I'll come..."

"Ah... there's still more, there's still one biting the tail..."

"Really... one dragging one up... can it still be like this..."

"Damn... head to tail connected..." Ye Yaodong also said in surprise, "It really is like this."

I saw that after the first ribbonfish was completely pulled out of the water, there was actually another ribbonfish biting its tail behind, one dragging one.

He also praised, "This one fish hook can catch two fish. Awesome..."

"This is really okay..."

"Will there be another one biting behind..."

"Hard to say..."

Amidst everyone's continuous surprises, Ye Yaodong first unhooked the first ribbonfish and carried it to the deck.

This ribbonfish had another ribbonfish biting behind its tail. The two were connected head to tail, almost as tall as him. He even took it to his side and stood it up to compare.

"Are these two connected together as tall as me?"

"Yes, yes, almost as tall. The tail was also bitten for a section. This one is over one jin, so wide, and the meat is so thick."

"The two together are over three jin." Ye Yaodong knew the weight just by holding it in his hand.

A ribbonfish that is nearly one meter long and weighs about one and a half jin, and it's still fishing ribbonfish, the price won't be low.

Ribbonfish are distinguished into net ribbonfish and fishing ribbonfish according to the fishing method.

Net ribbonfish are small, the specifications vary greatly, and the fish scales are seriously damaged, so the quality won't be very good. While the individual fishing ribbonfish will be relatively large, the quality is good, and every ribbonfish has a short fishing line hook left in its mouth, which is very easy to distinguish.

Usually, the price of fishing ribbonfish is high.

"Come, come, come, the basket is here, put it here..." The deckhand who couldn't squeeze in on the side actively went to move a basket to load it.

Ye Yaodong finished unhooking on this side, and the fishing lines behind were also pulled up.

"Damn, all so big, so long..."

"Look, look... a whole string of full hooks..."

"Saw it, wow... it's really hung full... not a single empty hook, struck it rich..."

"This belongs to fishing ribbonfish. Fishing ribbonfish is more expensive than net ribbonfish. Really struck it rich again..."

"If every hook is hung with a fish, that would be insane... one is over one jin... my god, can't calculate, can't calculate anymore... so many fishing lines, how much harvest will there be?"

Ye Yaodong's fishing lines were made relatively dense, and contrary to reason, five or six hooks were hung on each fishing line. Normally, one hook is hung under one fishing line.

Ye Fu temporarily changed it yesterday afternoon, thinking about the school of fish in the trench, and targetedly added a few more hooks. Unexpectedly, he really bet right.

Now, under the long fishing line collected, five or six fish hooks were hung with ribbonfish, a whole string of ribbonfish, a large silver-glowing area hanging there, so everyone exclaimed one after another.

"Adong... Adong, hurry and look... there's more behind..."

The main line was wrapped around the deckhand's hand and pulled a few times, pulled tight, and the fishing lines behind followed and moved up out of the water. Everyone issued even greater exclamations.

"Damn... so many... really all hung up..."

"Really no empty hooks..."

Everyone couldn't say any novel words anymore. One by one, they just repeated these few sentences. Originally, they thought it was enough, but after pulling the main line tight, more fishing lines were pulled up, and more ribbonfish floated up. Everyone's eyes widened.

No one could imagine how terrifying the 100% cargo rate of a longline could be. And this was still an enhanced version of the longline that had been changed. There were 500 dense hooks on a shortened longline.

"Collect fast, collect fast, don't scream..."

"Old Pei's side is also screaming all the time, it's estimated to be the same..."

"Definitely the same. All put into the trench to fish. There are so many densely packed down there. My god, really going to earn a fortune..."

"This is also too scary... all ribbonfish..."

The deckhand collecting the line was also excited to death. He didn't expect longline fishing to be able to load cargo like this. He also worked harder, hurriedly collecting the main line with force, and letting others go to collect fishing lines and unhook.

Everyone was constantly unhooking and collecting fishing lines. Some fish hooks were swallowed too deep, so they could only use scissors to cut the line above.

If they collected head-to-tail connected ones, they could still excitedly click their tongues twice.

Of course, it was impossible to be really full of hooks. There were still empty hooks, but most of them were run away, and the bait was gone. However, there were also head-to-tail connected ones, and the quantity was not small.

Ye Yaodong kept watching them harvest. When you become a boss, you have to point at others to work and do less yourself.

Just in time, he saw that after the current fishing line was pulled up, it was head-to-tail connected again. Everyone just said "another one" and was already a bit unaccustomed to it. But he saw another one biting under the second tail.

"Damn... three..."

"Ah, this time it's three, broke the record..."

"Awesome, it can still be like this..."

"Haha, if every hook is loaded with cargo like this, then it's really going to strike it rich."

"Even if it's not loaded with cargo like this, it's still struck it rich. A whole main line is almost finished, how many empty hooks are there..."

"It's a pity. This kind of head-to-tail connection, biting the tail, is all broken. Either there is a large wound, and the skin and meat on the surface are broken. The quality is not so complete."

"Some are also okay..."

This kind of head-to-tail connection, although it looks pleasantly surprised, one after another, the tail part has a relatively large bite wound, and it doesn't look so beautiful. These have to be picked out separately. This kind is not as good as the complete quality.

Just this kind of head-to-tail connection, they also collected half a basket in one main line. These are all damaged.

Just when everyone was collecting vigorously, and the surrounding deckhands were discussing enthusiastically, the two people digging sea urchins at the bottom also surfaced one after another.

After they approached the fishing boat, before being pulled up, the two shouted excitedly: "Damn, why are there so many ribbonfish at the bottom..."

"Damn it, the first time I saw longline fishing underwater, it's too exaggerated... all are ribbonfish, all hung full, one line is hung with several, and it glows..."

"Actually so many... I was startled when I was catching sea urchins, just saw a large string of ribbonfish floating up beside me..."

"It was a whole line hung with a large string, rising from the trench behind us... and it was glowing... I was so surprised I peed..."

"Yes, yes, yes, floating up from behind us, then rising to the top of our heads, all glowing. My eyes were widened, just watching a line being pulled and pulled up to the water surface, hanging a pile of ribbonfish underneath. It was really a pile..."

"More than that, one tail was connected to another, saw many..."

"Watching us all want to come up immediately to check the situation. This is also too scary. Never knew longline fishing could load cargo like this? Overflowing, almost didn't see empty fish hooks, one line hung several, like grapes, one string after another went up."

"Oh my god, it's so spectacular, it really blinded my dog eyes, a string of ribbonfish rose from the top of my head..."

"I didn't even have the heart to catch sea urchins. This is the first time I've seen this situation underwater..."

"You didn't have the chance to go underwater before either."

The two said while being pulled to the water surface. Their expressions were all excited, and their mouths were chattering endlessly.

"Is it really that spectacular underwater?"

Everyone listened and was extremely curious. Just now when they collected, they were pleasantly surprised. Imagining the scene underwater, it was indeed quite shocking.

"Why would I lie to you."

"Of course it's spectacular, much more exaggerated than what you see on this sea surface. You can't see a few on the sea surface, you can only see it floating out of the water. You don't know what it's like underwater. Floating one after another is like a white ribbon. It's really a long strip, and it's glowing."

"Yes, yes, mainly it's glowing, and it's hung full."

"Hurry and take it off, take it off, it's my turn. I want to go down and take a look. Just in time, it hasn't been collected yet..."

"It's also my turn... I'll go down and take a look."

Ye Yaodong listened with a full face of smiles. He could imagine that when catching sea urchins, a string of glowing ribbonfish suddenly floated up behind him, which was indeed spectacular and shocking enough.

It was mainly because it looked like there were no empty hooks. One fishing line was hung with five or six, which was indeed exaggerated.

It looked exaggerated enough on the shore, let alone being able to see the full landscape underwater. ===== CHAPTER 1107 =====
