Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Everyone was very obedient. Seeing how nervous the old cat was, they all retreated back to the gangway.

Two steps up here is the wheelhouse. According to Lao Mao, if something goes wrong, everyone will retreat into the wheelhouse to escape.

"Brother Cat, what on earth is it?"

"Can't you recognize those tentacles?" the old cat asked.

"It looks like an octopus. Let me go. You wouldn't say there was such a big octopus, would you?" Zhao Qin exclaimed. It wasn't that he couldn't recognize it, but he didn't dare to think about it.

The tentacle that was just poked out probably weighed dozens of kilograms. It would weigh as much as an octopus.

The old cat shook his head and said, "King Squid, I also heard a boss mention this year on the ship that Japan caught a live one."

"So it's just a squid, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Xia Yingjie was puzzled.

"Its tentacles can directly break your neck, and its tentacles are not small suction cups, but small hooks. This is more convenient for the evolution of catching prey.

During the winding process, the small hook can be directly hooked into the human skin.

If you are accidentally touched by its tentacles, you will not be able to escape. This is not dangerous! After the old cat finished speaking, he glared at Xia Yingjie.

Xia Yingjie could only respond with a smile.

The so-called king squid, also called king squid or ruler squid, is similar in appearance to the ordinary rocket squid, with a gun shape and a long and narrow body.

But the size is as high as in the sky. The king squid can grow up to 6 meters long with its body alone, and with the tentacles, it can be up to 20 meters long, and its weight can reach an astonishing one ton.

Not to mention that if the tentacles entangle a person and there is no way to escape, even if the tentacles are not entangled, it will be swept over the person like a whip, which is not something ordinary people can bear.

This is why old cats get so nervous when they see tentacles.

"Damn, how did you catch this thing?" Zhao Ping was also standing at the helm hatch. After hearing what the old cat said, he also cursed in a depressed tone.

Zhao Qin's face felt a little hot. After all, it was his insistence on working in the trench that was to blame.

This trip was also fun. Previously, all we caught were small fish and shrimps, but now a big one suddenly came, but because it was so big, several people were helpless.

"Brother Cat, how long does it take for this thing to die if it's left out of water?"

"I don't know."

After hearing this reply, several people were even more discouraged. If they could survive without water for two or three days, it meant that they would have to live for two or three days.

Of course, such a behemoth cannot be dehydrated for so long. Just like people, fat people are less likely to be hungry and thirsty because their bodies are large and they are consumed faster.

"In this way, Brother Cat and I will watch from here, and you all can go into the helm and rest."

"Aqin, you go sail the boat, I'm here." Zhao Ping didn't want to put his brother in a dangerous situation.

"Brother, I'm not as good at sailing at night as you are. You can look for an island. Anyway, we don't have any work at night. If we stop the boat then, we'll have a lot of fun with it. If it's capable, it will give birth to its cubs in it."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Ping couldn't refuse anymore.

"Brother Aqin, I'll stay with you."

"I'll stay too."

After appeasing Zhao Ping, several other people were unhappy. No wonder, they were all in their prime of life, and it felt a bit unloyal to go to the cabin to rest at this time.

"It's not that dangerous. A-Qin and I just stay and watch to see when it dies so we can collect the catch."

The old cat explained, but the others remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Zhao Qin smiled and said, "Okay, then just wait here."

He took out a cigarette and gave one to several people. After a while, several pipes were lit at the same time.

Zhao Qin didn't plan to smoke one, but he thought there were several others smoking and it was unreasonable for him to inhale second-hand smoke, so he decided to light one.

Old Mao took all the hooks on the boat, and Zhao Qin went to the tool box and took the knives, even the kitchen knife, in case there was danger.

After waiting for about an hour, the boat slowly stopped. Achen and Ajie ran to anchor.

Zhao Ping also came out of the wheelhouse and sat with them, staring directly at the hanging net bag.

Everyone began to curse the previous big ship again. If they hadn't chased it away, the ship would not have come here, let alone encounter this giant squid.

"Brother Cat, is this thing valuable?" Ace asked in a low voice.

Old Mao shook his head, "I've never seen anyone selling it, and I've never eaten it, so I don't know what it tastes like."

"Damn it, if it's valuable, it's worth it for everyone, but if it can't even be sold, it's not worth it." Zhao Ping was indignant.

Zhao Qin was very sleepy at the moment and did not participate in everyone's chat. He had fallen asleep on the side.

Gradually, everyone's interest in chatting disappeared, and they all narrowed their eyes one after another. Only Lao Mao and Zhao Ping were left chatting quietly, looking at the net bag from time to time.

"Boom, bang, crash." The first two sounds were very loud, hitting the deck loudly, waking up all the people who were already asleep.

Zhao Qin also woke up. He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and looked towards the deck.

I saw that all the fish in the net had fallen down. At this moment, the mountain turned into a red hill. I rubbed my eyes. Yes, it was red.

The big king squid has been buried under the fish pile, and only two or three tentacles are still rolling and struggling from time to time.

"Don't worry, let's take a look. It will die quickly if it is pressed like this." The old cat still refused to allow anyone to come forward.

Fortunately, this happened in the middle of the night. If it were during the day and the sun was exposed for most of the day, other catches would probably be in trouble.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Lao Mao walked over first. Zhao Qin wanted to follow, but he stopped him.

When he came closer, he first used the hook in his hand to hang it on the tentacle. Perhaps because of the pain, the tentacle still curled up, but it had long lost its previous vitality. It only moved for a moment and then stopped.

"There should be no danger."

The old cat shouted to everyone, and everyone came closer together. There was no way to delay it any longer. At this moment, the sky was getting brighter.

If you don't seize the time to sort the fish and store them in the warehouse, by the time the sun rises, the fish will spoil and you won't be able to keep them.

Everything in his eyes was red. Zhao Ping only took one look and said with joy: "Oh my God, they are all like this fish."

The old cat couldn't hide his joy and said: "Everyone, hurry up and sort, and try to resolve the battle within two hours."

Zhao Qin refused to let the boat sail. He planned to sort the fish and have breakfast before starting work.

Looking closer, it is inappropriate to say that the hills are red. The body of the fish is closer to orange.

Xia Yingjie was a little depressed because it looked like he was the only one he didn't know. He arched Xia Shouzhu next to him and said, "Brother Zhuzhu, what kind of fish is this?"

"The golden pineapple is a deep-sea fish."

Then he pointed to the fish body again, "The one with a yellow spot in the middle is a male fish, the one without that line is a female fish, and the male fish is bigger."

Zhao Qin knew Jinpineapple. After all, the fish looked very good and the price was good, but this was the first time he knew how to tell the difference between male and female.

I picked up the two tails and compared them, and it was just as Zhuzi said, well, my knowledge has increased again.

The so-called golden pineapple is actually a name from the Guangdong area, and it has gradually extended to their side. Its scientific name should be Yingli fish, also known as Xifuluo fish and spot-eyed perch.

Golden pineapple is just one of the species, or one of its colors.

The beautiful fish is colorful and is well known as an ornamental fish. Later, people discovered that it tastes good, so their edible value was gradually developed.

The appearance is very similar to the big-eye snapper, both have a pair of large eyes, which is also one of the characteristics of deep-sea fish.

Strictly speaking, this fish is an exotic species. Its origin is in North America. It has appeared on the coast of China for some time. It is also one of the more common fish caught in deep sea fishing.

Golden pineapple, this should be a female fish.

This should be a male, with a brighter color.
