Chapter 614 - 614 601 Sharks Robbery

614: Chapter 601: Sharks Robbery 614: Chapter 601: Sharks Robbery “Let me see!” Gu Tianqing heard the call, set aside the rod in his hands, and strode over to Yue Feng.

Gu Tianqing watched the line being paid out for a few seconds and shook his head, “It must have been robbed by a shark!”

“What?

Robbed by a shark?

Can that even happen?” Yue Feng was puzzled when he heard this explanation.

The viewers in the live streaming room were even more animated upon hearing this, discussing all kinds of theories.

“Do sharks dare rob a Fisherman’s catch?

Isn’t that like a death wish going into a toilet with a lantern?”

“Such audacity!

Perhaps they know they’re protected, so they act recklessly?”

“But that doesn’t make sense either.

Even if they robbed the catch, the line shouldn’t be so sensational, right?

Isn’t the hook supposed to be in the mouth of the bait fish?

If the shark swallowed the bait, wouldn’t the hook come loose?”

Yue Feng was very curious about this question from the viewers, and turned to Gu Qingtian to ask, “Big Brother Gu, could you explain what’s going on?

Both I and the brothers in the live streaming room are very interested!”

Gu Qingtian nodded, “Maybe everyone has a fixed impression of sharks from movies or literature, always assuming they are invincible and imposing—the absolute bosses of the ocean!”

“Actually, this impression is not comprehensive, even incorrect!”

“Certain aggressive large sharks, like the Bull Shark, the Great White Shark, and the Tiger Shark, are indeed very aggressive.

Once they target something, it often spells disaster!”

“Apart from those few types, there are many varieties of sharks in the sea.

There are at least five hundred known species of sharks worldwide.

Aside from those top predatory species, many sharks do not have such outstanding hunting abilities.”

“Most sharks are opportunists!

They are not adept at high-speed chases after prey but prefer sneak attacks, especially on sick fish or those swimming awkwardly—they decisively attack these.”

At this point, an issue arises.

“Our fish hooked by Taiwan Fishing or other methods can’t swim away because of the hook in their mouth, and their swimming posture is different from that of other fish of the same species!”

“As opportunists, sharks can keenly spot this difference in swimming form and target the fish.”

“Now someone might ask, small fish eat the Lure, big fish eat the small fish, how does the hook end up in the big fish?

It doesn’t quite make sense, right?”

“The principle is simple; I’ll just show you the structure of our Lure!”

“Take the metal jigs we are using now.

Regardless of the color and bait shape, there are two treble hooks near the belly and tail of the bait fish.

Normally, when target fish attack the Lure, they mostly get hooked rather than swallowing the whole bait.”

“When a shark attacks our catch, one of the treble hooks’ points is exposed, and there’s a good chance it catches a First Level shark.”

“Indeed, such scenarios are common in sea fishing, and there are even more exaggerated ones!”

“For example, once we were fishing at an offshore oil rig.

Due to fishermen frequenting that area over the years, the big fish there are very cautious, and they definitely would not take normal Lures.”

“A friend of mine thought of a method, using Lures for small to medium fish to attract smaller fish.

Then leveraging the pillaging behavior of other fish species to catch bigger slippery fish!”

Gu Tianqing spoke knowledgeably, his thoughts clear and organized, and quite interesting, explaining the principles thoroughly!

While Gu Tianqing was telling his story, the fish hooked on Yue Feng’s rod gradually became exhausted, and when pulled out of the water, it turned out to be a shark just over a meter long.

It had a small yellowfin tuna clamped in its mouth, which was snagged by the lure’s triple hooks at the corner of its mouth.

“Gu Tianqing guessed right, a nurse shark!” Yue Feng adjusted the camera and said.

“Wow, are we going to perform another shark release?

But this time it’s with triple hooks on the lure, seems a bit difficult to release, right?”

Yue Feng also had this doubt and turned to continue asking Gu Qingtian, but Gu Tianqing just smiled, “It’s quite simple, with the hook under the chest hooked to the fish’s mouth.

Just use a homemade rod setup to remove it, much easier than the previous single hook!

How to describe it, it’s like the hook remover in freshwater Taiwan Fishing!”

With that explanation, everyone got a basic concept of the device.

Sure enough, the captain brought over a homemade tool, signaled Yue Feng to keep the line tight on the fish, and after shaking the fishhook out continuously twice, successfully removed the hook.

The shark was released.

Looking at the mutilated body with only more than half a tuna head left, Yue Feng scratched his head, internally lamenting the waste.

The meatier parts were bitten off, leaving only the head and a small half of the body behind.

He was about to toss the fish into the sea.

“Don’t throw it!” Gu Qingtian hurriedly stopped Yue Feng.

“What’s up?

There’s hardly any meat left on it, why keep it?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

“If you throw it, the blood inside the body will spread in the surrounding water, and if we’re unlucky, it might attract a school of sharks, which would be counterproductive!

Let’s throw it on the way back.”

“Oh!” Yue Feng gained a little nugget of knowledge.

For the next hour and a half, Yue Feng kept the fishing depth under control at a little over fifty meters, where the yellowfin tuna were continuously caught, prompting the crew and Captain Sofron to join the fray of targeting the tuna schools.

The first half went smoothly, but as time went on, the frequency of shark robberies intensified.

At the most intense moment, Yue Feng, A-Dong, and Captain Sofron all had their catches robbed by sharks simultaneously.

Even Yue Feng, a beginner at sea fishing, realized that what Gu Tianqing had worried about was happening, with lots of blood spreading in the water, attracting sharks.

Catching one fish only to have it robbed by a shark, while also having to risk releasing them, made any further fishing pointless!

“Yue, let’s change spots?

It’s not possible to fish here for the time being!” Gu Tianqing, after experiencing a shark robbery, couldn’t help but suggest.

“Sure!

I was about to suggest that, just didn’t want to interrupt your fun,” Yue Feng said, scratching his head and laughing.

“Then let’s hurry to the next mark.

It’s almost lunchtime, let’s try some freshly caught tuna sashimi for lunch!”

“Sounds great!” Hearing about the tuna sashimi, Yue Feng’s eyes lit up.

From here to the next mark would take about an hour and a half by boat, which was a perfect time to have lunch!

Having decided to change marks, everyone gathered their equipment, and the captain pulled anchor to continue toward the next mark.
