A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   Just when Minami Shuuichi wanted to give up, suddenly Ishida Yu exclaimed: "A swordfish has bit the hook!"

   "Look, the rod is moving, no, it's bent!"

  I saw that the bus bar of one of the four fishing rods was stretched and stretched straight, and even the fishing rod was pulled slightly bent. The slight bend that can pull such a large rod can only be done by large predatory fish such as swordfish tuna! Ordinary fish don't have that strength at all.

   "It's there, that swordfish!"

   In the waves more than 100 meters away from the stern of the fishing boat Junxi, everyone vaguely saw a sailfish. This sailfish only had the flag crown on its back exposed on the waves, and the body of the fish was not seen. But Shuichi Minano was sure it was the one that bit the hook.

   This swordfish hurriedly dived into the water as soon as it bit the hook, and disappeared all at once.

   "Quick, let go of the long bus!" The old man Oda next to him is a seasoned man. He walked to the fishing rod with one quick step and let go of the bus.

   "Crash..." The bus pulley turned violently, and the bus line became longer and longer, allowing the sailfish in the sea to pull it.

   "Let it pull for a while, and then recycle it when the busbar is about 200 meters away!" The old man Oda explained while operating, apparently an old fishing driver.

   "On-site teaching." Minami Xiuyi's eyes were bright.

   "Oda, I'll leave it to you." Ishida Yu smiled and said, when it comes to fishing, everyone here is probably not as good as the old man Oda. Everyone can rest assured to let him operate.

   Soon, with the pulling of the swordfish, the busbar was pulled out by a length of 200 meters. At this time, the outlet of the busbar has become slower.

   "Bah! Close!" At this moment, the old man Oda shouted, holding the fishing rod with one hand and shaking the rocker arm of the busbar pulley with the other hand to recover the busbar fishing line.

The swordfish that was frightened in the sea originally thought that he could escape, but at this time, as the old man Oda retrieved the busbar, pulled and tugged, the hook in the swordfish's mouth caught the meat, and it hurt when he ate it. It became even more panicked.

   At this time, Hideo Minano cut his vision into the sea water, and he saw the swordfish in the water 200 meters away, frightened, and frantically running again.

   The contest between the two sides really started!

   Fishing for such a large fish is not easy, and it is very technical.

   If you want to catch such a big fish, you want to make the other party tired, and then you can drag it to the side of the fishing boat.

  Oda old man gave people a calm and composed look at this time. He pursed his lips, and from time to time, he released, reeled, and repeatedly guided the line, like flowing water.

   Anyway, everyone was stunned for a while, this is no longer ordinary fishing, it is completely an artistic performance!

"Oda-kun, you are really amazing." Noguchi Minamiki kept flattering, because they saw the sailfish jumping out of the sea from time to time, diving deep from time to time, but it didn't take long to be caught in the deep dive. The old man Oda used various means to jump up, it was like playing acrobatics.

   In fact, everyone thought that the old man Oda was a master at handling tuna, but he was also a master at fishing.

   As if he hadn't heard the flattery of the crowd, the old man Oda was still staring at the sea, and he kept putting his hands away.

   This sailfish is very large, three meters long, and it is estimated that it weighs more than 150 kilograms. Its strength is terrifying. Anyway, half an hour has passed and it is still thumping. Anyway, can the old man Oda bring it closer to the fishing boat so far?

   "This sailfish is too tossed! It's been so long and has so much strength." Minami was a little stunned when he saw it. This is also the first time he has seen such a predatory large fish.

  Like fishing for this kind of big fish, usually after about 1 to 3 hours, you can pull it closer to the side of the boat, and use the fishing aid to catch it on the boat.

   It's only been half an hour now, of course it's not that fast.

   This sailfish is not exhausted yet.

   Originally, sailfish are excellent swimmers, and their physical fitness is of course very good.

   "Oda, do you want to change people, do you still have the strength?" Minano Shuichi asked. Seeing that Oda's face was flushed and his blue veins were bulging, it seemed that he had put a lot of effort into fighting the swordfish.

   "It's okay, I can last for half an hour." Oda panted and said solemnly.

   "If I think my hands are sore, Oda-kun is really young."

  However, which fisherman who seeks a living at sea is not full of strength? Even though the old man Oda was in his fifties, he was full of strength.

   "If it was that kind of medium and small fishing rods, it would probably have been pulled off."

   "Yeah, this fish is so tossing."

   "I think the meat from the tail part of the fish is definitely good for sashimi."

   Another half an hour passed, and this big sailfish was finally exhausted.

   "Hehe... I'm finally out of strength, now it's my turn to take action." The old man Oda smiled and hurriedly retrieved the bus line, ready to pull the sailfish towards the fishing boat.

   "Sure enough, this swordfish has no strength."

"Ishida, come on. Just pull it back suddenly. Hurry up and get the hook ready. Pull it up in a while and then hook it up. Also, get a hammer ready to stun it. This guy is brutal. It will be bad if you get hurt." The old man Oda said.

  Ishida Yu, the new force, pulled up all his strength after he came on the field, and soon the sailfish was pulled close to the fishing boat.

   "Come on, take the handle, three people hook it up with the hook!"

  Three hooks were hooked on the swordfish. The swordfish struggled in pain, but it was of no use.

   Four or five big men were sweating profusely and finally pulled the swordfish up. In the process of pulling, the old man Oda knocked the swordfish unconscious with a mallet.

   "Haha... I finally got this big guy up. It took more than an hour to be really time-consuming and labor-intensive." Noguchi Nanki laughed.

   "It's still a big loss to Oda-kun. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't be able to catch this swordfish." Minami Shuichi smiled and praised Oda.

   "I haven't caught such a big fish for a long time, this time is really good." The old man Oda smiled naively, without taking credit.

  On deck, this sailfish is 3.1 meters long and weighs an estimated 160 kilograms!

   "I announce that there will be a swordfish banquet tonight!" Minano Shuichi said loudly.

"yeah!"

   Of course, old man Oda came for the planing of swordfish, and his art of planing is absolutely superb. In less than an hour, this sailfish was dissected and brought in. Each portion of the fish is sorted.

   In the evening, the sailfish feast begins. Sashimi, fried, grilled, steamed, swordfish sushi, all kinds of dishes have come out.

   "Sailfish sashimi is a little worse than tuna sashimi, but swordfish sushi is quite good." After eating the feast, Minamino Shuichi compared it with tuna.

   On the second day, continue fishing.

   Minami Shuuichi didn’t know that the ocean fishing team just established by the American Imperial Ocean Fishing Company was also fishing nearby.

   This fishing team is called the American Imperial Ocean Fishing Fleet, with a total of 20 fishing boats, which can be described as unusually large!

   The head of the fishing team is Brett, an old man in his fifties. However, his sailing experience is rich, and his fishing experience is also very rich. He also has two capable men Robin and Dennis. They were all sent by the US Imperial Ocean Fishing Company from the US Imperial headquarters.

   In addition to some technicians and backbones of the entire fleet, the rest are sailors recruited locally in the Nemuro fishing port. This super fishing team set out to fish for the first time a few days after Minami Hideyoshi left the port!

   This time can be said to be the first show of the US imperial ocean fishing fleet!

Brett smoked a cigar, looked out at the vast sea through the glass window in the cab, and said with a smile: "The waters on this side of Hokkaido are the seas where I have seen the most fish! Even the fishing grounds on the Newfoundland side are better than Not here."

"Yeah, it's a pity that this sea is not on our side, otherwise the fishery development on our side will definitely usher in a big explosion! Hmph, it's cheap for those islanders and red-haired people here." Robin rough Sheng said, he is 40 years old this year, but he has led three fleets, and he is a person with outstanding ability!

   "Hokkaido fishing grounds will become the world's No. 1 fishing grounds in the future!"

"Fortunately, General Manager Albert timely reported the situation here to the headquarters. At the beginning, the directors of the headquarters were not willing to set up a fishing team here. They said it was a waste of money. But seeing Albert After submitting the data, they still chose to form a fishing team." Dennis said.

"Mr. Albert's eyes are still very far-sighted and stern. He came here less than a year and saw that the Hokkaido fishery is a natural super fishery. The fish here is extremely large. Such a big piece of cake is still Not many people have intervened. This time our company is still relatively early, and we should be able to share a big piece of cake here." Brett said with a smile.

  From the establishment of a seafood processing factory here by the US Imperial Ocean Fishing Company, to the establishment of a distant ocean fishing fleet. Anyway, it is early to eat a little more cake. Because fishery resources will gradually decrease in the days to come.

   How can you not be tempted when a relatively huge cake is placed in front of you? No action? Now the US Imperial Ocean Fishing Company has acted. Not only the establishment of processing plants in the local, but also the formation of fishing teams to catch. This will cost more and earn more. Besides, their fishing team is definitely number one! Both in terms of quantity and fishing techniques.

   "We have only been out fishing for a week, and half of our fishing boats are full now. There are too many fish here!" Dennis said with emotion.

   "This is all thanks to Mr. Albert and the captain, as well as the advanced fishing technology of our fishing boats!"

"That's right, if Mr. Albert hadn't urged the headquarters to set up a fishing team, our company wouldn't be able to get a share of the pie. If it wasn't for the experienced captain, we wouldn't be able to catch so many fish!" The two men flattered each other.
