Chapter 178 Successfully Catching a Great White Shark
"Old Yan, my friend's luck is pretty good, isn't it?" Yu Muzhou raised an eyebrow at Yan Hongyi.
"Let me take another look, let me take another look."
Yan Hongyi stared intently at Zhou Miao. After Xiao Lu returned, he thought for a moment and asked him to bring a fishing rod as well. Then, he stood on the other side and fished with him.
Luck is a mysterious thing, and he wanted to know whether Zhou Miao was truly lucky or just lucky.
But after more than ten minutes, he hadn't hit the target at all.
Zhou Miao not only caught a sea bass weighing eight or nine pounds, but also a mackerel weighing a meter long. Yan Hongyi had to admit that Zhou Miao was indeed very lucky.
However, he was only slightly envious of Zhou Miao's luck and had no other thoughts.
There are many extraordinary people and events in China. Zhou Miao just had some luck while fishing, which is nothing special.
But after putting away his fishing rod, he still went to Yu Muzhou and asked, "Is your friend always so lucky, catching fish one after another every time he goes fishing?"
"It's not that exaggerated. It's impossible for it to be like this every time, otherwise it would be abnormal." Yu Muzhou chuckled and then explained, "Wherever there are fish, his catch will be better than others, that's for sure."
Yan Hongyi understood; no wonder his old friend had given it such a strong recommendation.
His friend is quite the expert when it comes to fishing.
Zhou Miao had already put down his fishing rod and carried the meter-long mackerel back to the crane.
First, let Xiao Lu retrieve all the steel cables, and the poached chicken was indeed intact.
After taking the items down, Zhou Miao hung the still-live mackerel back up, then took out a small knife and made a couple of cuts on the mackerel.
It should be injured and bleed, but not fatal.
Sharks are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. They can smell even a tiny bit of blood from a great distance, let alone when they are so close.
When you throw a fish into the water, the mackerel immediately wags its tail and disappears in an instant.
However, the heavy lead weight greatly hindered its movement, leaving it with no choice but to sink deeper into the water.
At this moment, a great white shark with a small wound on its forehead was swimming slowly underwater. It was aimlessly swimming, and staying underwater was just an instinct that made it feel safe.
It could smell the faint scent of blood in the water, but it was indifferent to the smell of pig's blood.
Actually, it's not much smarter than other sharks.
It had only tasted poached chicken before, and it didn't suit its palate. Plus, its gluttony had caused it to injure its head, making it even less inclined to touch that thing.
It doesn't like frozen fish; the fresh green chard and seal from a few days ago are more to its liking.
Great white sharks in the wild are very particular about the freshness of their food; if it doesn't suit their taste, they would rather go hungry than eat it.
It wasn't interested in the half-legs of bipedal animals either.
That day, I was just curious about what was at the bottom of the water, so I went over and took a bite.
But it wasn't its usual food, so it spat out what was in its mouth and turned to leave.
That fisherman was indeed very lucky. The great white shark had just eaten its fill that day and wasn't hungry, which is why he was able to swim back to the surface.
A great white shark can survive for several weeks or even three months without eating after a single meal.
It's only been a few days, so it's not hungry.
The junior manager who was in charge of this matter before, but was forced to return due to poor performance, also overlooked this point.
In addition, people don't understand the habits of great white sharks, which is why they couldn't lure them out no matter what methods they tried.
If only we had consulted an expert on great white sharks to understand the specifics, we wouldn't have wasted three days. I'm even considering applying for a torpedo now.
So when the injured mackerel was forced to sink to the bottom, the previously leisurely great white shark suddenly moved.
It smelled a bloody odor, the smell of food.
I'm not hungry, but it's really hard to get food in nature. After three days of digestion, my stomach is a little emptier, so I can eat a little more.
The great white shark instinctively swam towards the direction emanating the bloody scent. This sudden change in course prompted the coast guard, who had been monitoring the radar inside the cabin, to immediately notify the people on deck.
Yan Hongyi was overjoyed to learn that it was truly effective.
Sure enough, the next moment, the steel cable on the crane was pulled.
The great white shark's strength should not be underestimated; it made the crane creak and groan as it pulled on it.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Miao quickly started the crane and had it fish the great white shark up.
At first, the great white shark was at a standstill with the crane for a while, but how can a living creature fight against a machine? In just a few minutes, the crane successfully began to retrieve the steel cable.
The coast guard officer in charge of firing the shot raised his gun and prepared to meet the shark's death the moment it surfaced.
This great white shark was actually quite wronged; it had no intention of eating humans and simply took a bite out of curiosity.
But the fishermen who were bitten were even more wronged, as this was a completely undeserved disaster.
Therefore, the fate of the great white shark, once defined, is already sealed.
Therefore, the fate of the great white shark, once defined, is already sealed.
Zhou Miao and the others kept their eyes fixed on the sea. As the steel cable was pulled back more and more, a dark shadow began to appear in their sight.
The great white shark was still struggling, swimming back and forth to resist the force that it could not overcome.
But in the end, it was forced to appear on the water's surface.
On the water's surface stood familiar steel behemoths, and atop those behemoths were familiar people, especially the two standing beside the crane, who had stolen its seal meat.
With a soft "bang," a small hole suddenly appeared in the great white shark's forehead.
The great white shark seemed unresponsive, vigorously thrashing its tail and splashing seawater high into the air.
But in less than ten seconds, all its strength was quickly drained, and its struggles became increasingly powerless.
"Good!" Yan Hongyi shouted as he saw the shark killed, and then led the applause.
"Clap clap clap clap~"
The leaders applauded, and the grassroots coast guards and the two temporary workers quickly followed suit, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere on the ship.
Then, the crane continued to operate and lifted the great white shark directly onto the ship.
Standing next to its enormous size, which was nearly five meters tall, Zhou Miao and the others looked extremely small.
Even a dead great white shark is enough to instill fear; at least no one approached the area around its head.
Even Yan Hongyi, who had served in the military, only stood to the side of the Great White Shark.
(This is an old photo; it shows a five-meter great white shark caught by domestic fishermen. It's been a long time, so the photo isn't very clear.)
Zhou Miao was thanked by Yan Hongyi after shaking his hand, and then he and Yu Muzhou took a speedboat back first.
I'll send him a banner in a few days, and he should also get a 500 yuan bonus.
But that's not important. What's important is that Yu Muzhou has made plans to have dinner with Yan Hongyi and will take him along in a few days.
Making friends with a mid-level leader in the Coast Guard would naturally be a good thing for Zhou Miao.
But even if he really needs someone's help, they might not pay him any attention.
However, things will change as your career develops.
Yu Muzhou had also subtly reminded him that there was no future in just staying at sea.
Zhou Miao wasn't unaware of this, but he was completely clueless about his career path and didn't know how to proceed.
Although he owns shares in the fishing club, he doesn't focus on that; he just invests a little and earns a share of the profits each year.
Fish rafts...
If he could use cheat codes to add some special attributes and develop it into a key tourism and cultural industry supported by Nanzhen, then his identity wouldn't just be that of a fisherman or a small fish raft owner.
If we align our interests with those here, we shouldn't be subject to the one-yuan purchase offer.
After all, it's just a seaside city, not a place where rich kids hang out.
As Zhou Miao thought about it, he found it very troublesome.
He still prefers Yu Muzhou's carefree life of financial freedom.
However, the fish rafts definitely need to be managed well, and that will not change.
