After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

Chapter 179 Recover the crab pot and head towards the depths of the Bering Sea!

After finishing the distribution of the treasures, Su Mo went back to his room to rest.

Of course, before leaving the warehouse, he also deliberately suggested that Jenny go have sex with him, but Jenny ran away in an instant.

Back in the room, Su Mo got into bed directly. He was really tired after a whole day's hard work, and when the sun came up, the crab pots would need to be harvested, and he still needed to keep an eye on them.

"It's been a busy day. I hope there will be a bumper harvest tomorrow!"

With this thought, he soon fell asleep.

......

When he woke up, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning. Su Mo sat up from the bed and resurrected with full health.

After he got dressed and had breakfast, he came to the captain's cabin, while the crew was already on deck getting ready.

Although the sea is still foggy today, the wind and waves are much lighter, which is a good time to recycle crab pots.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, Su Mo began to give orders: "Everyone is in position, prepare to recover the first crab pot!"

After saying that, he asked the driver to drive the boat to the vicinity of the first float.

The float used to catch king crabs is much larger than ordinary ones, otherwise it would not be able to bear the huge weight.

Although the float is large and conspicuous, it is not easy to catch it.

Faced with this situation, most crab fishermen in the Bering Sea will use a tool, which is a large iron hook with a long rope. As long as the iron hook is thrown out and hooked into the float, the float can be hooked back. .

Su Mo followed the local customs when he went to his hometown, and he also adopted this method.

On the deck, George, who had never done such a job, immediately volunteered to come to the side of the ship. He took out a big hook with a rope, rounded his arms and threw it out.

His strength was quite strong and he managed to throw the hook far away, but his accuracy was a little off and the hook didn't hit the float at all.

Su Mo in the captain's room didn't rush them. Although he was very good at this kind of work, and the old crew members were certainly not bad either, this kind of work was done through practice, and practice made perfect.

If these novices are not allowed to practice, they will never learn it in their lifetime.

In the future, when he becomes the boss, he can't just have one boat. He should come to catch crabs himself every time. Letting them practice is the right thing to do.

No, after trying many times, George finally hit the float with the hook.

Although he was tired, he was very excited.

This experience of achieving success after self-study is very exciting, just like the feeling of catching a big fish while fishing.

Then, with the joint efforts of several crew members, the float was finally pulled to the side of the crab boat. However, this float weighed more than 100 kilograms, and it was not easy to pull it up.

Although the wind and waves at this time are smaller than before, they are not completely absent. If several people pull the float together, it will be counterproductive because of the many people and complicated hands.

So the best way is to do it alone.

George was always bold, so he immediately leaned half of his body out of the boat and pulled the rope hard.

As a result, a wave hit at this time, and George's center of gravity suddenly became unstable and he almost fell into the sea.

This made some novice crew members break out in cold sweat, and they all ran over and pulled George's legs, which allowed him to stabilize his body again.

In this way, with the help of everyone, George finally pulled the big float on board with all his strength. At this time, the other crew members also cheered, and his courage successfully won everyone's praise. Of course.

Before there was any time to celebrate, the crew removed the float and tied the rope connecting the crab pot to the crane.

Just let the machine do the rest of the work.

At this time, the crew's hearts were in their throats. If the crab pot was empty, it meant that all the previous efforts were in vain. The feeling was like falling into an ice cave.

But if the crab pots pulled up are full of king crabs, the joy of the harvest is very touching, and every time a pot of king crabs is caught, they can get a large dividend.

Before going to sea, the crew members calculated that if they went according to the price offered by Su Mo, if they had a good harvest this time, everyone would be able to get at least 20!

This is a huge sum of money for the crew members who could only move bricks on construction sites or work as security guards before!

With the roar of the crane, time passed by, and the rope was retracted bit by bit.

After a while, the crab pot came out of the water.

When the first crab pot was pulled onto the boat, even Su Mo in the captain's cabin couldn't help but smile and joked: "A generous gift of crab!"

Not to mention the crew members who were watching from close range. They were already going crazy and cheering non-stop.

Because this crab pot is filled with a cage full of blue king crabs, roughly counting hundreds of them. However, it is not possible to pull up as many king crabs as you want and take them away. According to regulations, only king crabs with a back shell exceeding 178 mm can be taken away. Those below this standard must be released immediately.

A qualified king crab basically weighs more than 3 kilograms, and almost the smallest crabs in Su Mo's cage weigh more than 4 kilograms, and some even approach 10 kilograms!

In other words, they caught nearly 500 kilograms of king crabs in this cage!

As the crab pot was opened, the large cage of king crabs was poured into the screening table prepared in advance, waiting for the crew to screen.

After a while, the crew members took a ruler and measured all the king crabs. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the more than 100 king crabs caught this time were basically in line with the plan, and 95 were left in the end!

This was definitely a bumper harvest, and just when the crew was about to get new bait to put into the empty crab pots, Su Mo picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Put away the crab pots and move on to the next target."

This order is a bit beyond everyone's expectations, because the biggest difficulty in fishing for crabs in the Bering Sea is not the bad weather but the lack of crabs.

According to common sense, if there are so many large king crabs in one cage, it means that there is a crab group below, and the bait should be installed immediately and released again, so as to maximize the benefits.

But Su Mo didn't do this, which was a bit unreasonable. However, out of trust in the captain, the crew members immediately followed it.

Of course there was a reason for Su Mo to do this. He took away the treasure under the sea first. Zhang Wei and the others must have noticed it by now. If they came to the door, they would be in trouble. After all, they were a group of armed desperadoes. .

So he decided to just hold it back and head towards deeper sea areas.

By then, even if Zhang Wei wanted to look for him, it would be difficult to find him again.

As for the crab swarm, he doesn't have to worry about it. The red crabs in the northern Bering Sea are more valuable than the blue crabs. Not to mention, he has a universal fish detection radar, so he is worried that he can't find a new crab swarm?
