Liu Wei: "Okay, brothers, I'm putting this little guy back now. It's not our target today. I need to catch a bigger electric eel!"

Wearing plastic gloves, I carefully held the electric eel and placed it in the water.

A fish finder placed in the water can also pick up the sound it makes.

Liu Weidao: "The living environment of the electric eel has led to the degradation of its vision. Through long-term research by scientists, it has been discovered that electric discharge creatures are not limited to electric eels. The electric current emitted by their bodies is mainly used for communication and navigation, and is only used in extreme circumstances. for attack and defense.

Obviously, our capture behavior is one of the extreme situations. If I hadn't prepared the corresponding protective measures in advance, the scene the brothers saw might have been me lying on the ground twitching all over!"

"Hahaha, foaming at the mouth!"

"Roll your eyes!"

“It’s so similar!”

"The anchor has piqued my curiosity. Why don't you give it a try?"

Liu Wei smiled faintly, packed up his things, and entered the water again, followed closely by Mr. De in his rowing boat.

until noon.

Nothing gained.

I have seen a few small electric eels, but they cannot satisfy Liu Wei's desire.

What he wants to catch is a super electric eel that is more than two meters long.

Climb aboard to rest for a while and drink some water.

Mr. De said: "Liu, the boss of the fish market said that the villagers here sometimes catch electric eels to sell. We can go to the village and ask. Maybe the villagers have a better way to lure the electric eels out!"

"That's the only way!" Liu Wei nodded.

It was just after noon.

The wooden boat rests on the bank of the river.

Liu Wei and De Ye approached the village. In front of a wooden house near the river, three dark-skinned villagers were sitting. At this time, their eyes were cast on Liu Wei and De Ye at the same time.

Liu Wei walked up and handed a few cigarettes with a smile on his face, and the villagers took them in their hands and lit them and started smoking.

"Have you ever seen an electric eel?" Liu Wei asked directly.

A middle-aged man with a long beard nodded.

"How big is the biggest one I've ever seen?" Liu Wei then asked.

The middle-aged man opened his arms and made a gesture. He tried his best to spread his arms, but it seemed that he could not accurately describe the length of the electric eel because the arms were not extended enough.

Liu Wei smiled and then asked, "Is there any expert in catching electric eels in the village?"

The other two villagers turned their eyes to the face of the bearded middle-aged man.

It was definitely him.

He asked curiously: "Why are you catching electric eels?"

Judging from the clothing and temperament,

Liu Wei and De Ye are not like fishermen who make a living by fishing.

Liu Wei directly identified himself and promised to give him a certain commission.

The middle-aged man put out his cigarette butts, stood up and walked into the house. He took out some long strings with hooks hanging on them. He waved to his companion and began to sort out the long strings.

Liu Wei walked over and asked: "Are you going to use fishing?"

The tool he is sorting out now is also used by fishermen in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. It is called a hook. Many fishhooks are hung on a long line. Fish bait is hung on the fishhook, and then it is spread across the water area.

Liu Wei did not expect that local villagers would actually use fishing to catch electric eels.

Because of the danger of electric eels, some primitive tribesmen will drive their livestock into the water. After the electric eels are discharged, they go into the water to catch them. This method is safer, but it consumes a lot of livestock.

The middle-aged man arranged the hooks and looked back at Liu Wei, "There are many ways to do it. This method has a greater chance of catching electric eels!"

Liu Wei chose to believe in the villagers’ experience.

After arranging the hooks, the middle-aged man cut off some small fish and hung them on the hooks. The bait does not need to be too big. The main food of the electric eel is small fish and shrimps, which is enough to lure it to the bait.

Wait until the afternoon.

The villager got on the boat with tools and drove to a wider river. He slapped the water with his palms and set the hook.

In his words, electric eels are very curious fish and will definitely come to observe when they hear any noise.

Three sets of rows of hooks blocked the river channel horizontally.

Liu Wei asked: "When can I close the hook?"

He couldn't wait.

The villager glanced at the sun and said, "In two hours!"

“Will electric eels take the bait?”

The villager said: "The small one will definitely have it, but the big one can't guarantee it!"

Liu Wei nodded.

The wooden boat docked and went to a villager's house to rest for a while.

When the sun is about to set, the setting sun hits the water, making the waves sparkling and very beautiful.

The villager stood up and said: "You can close the hook!"

The time is very accurate.

Just two hours and a few minutes passed.

"Brothers, high energy is coming!" Liu Wei explained with enthusiasm.

"I'm already asleep!"

"Look, fishing is a tough job!"

"If you don't catch the big one, today's gift will be torn!"

"looking forward to!"

The villagers were sitting on the bow of the boat, with a cigarette in their mouths and a normal look on their faces. They were rowing and retracting their hooks.

The hook gradually surfaced empty.

The first set of hooks, Air Force!

"This is the second group, there must be goods!" Liu Wei said excitedly.

The villager picked up the hook, looked at it, and pointed at the empty hook, "The bait has been bitten away!"

Prove availability.

Sure enough, I received the third hook and found an electric eel, but it was very small.

The villagers used a net bag to pick it up and put it in a fish box. Although it was small, it could still be sold for money.

Mr. De suddenly exclaimed: "Liu, look!"

Point your fingers towards the end of the row of hooks.

Suddenly something stirred in the water and splashed.

"Is it an electric eel?" Liu Wei looked at the villagers and asked.

The villagers were unsure: "It might be a two-bearded bonefish!"

The boat slid past.

The moment the villager reached out to lift the hook, his body trembled, and he immediately retracted his hand. He sat on the bow of the boat, lost in thought, and fell into a sluggish state.

"It must be an electric eel!" Liu Wei confirmed.

The villager came back to his senses after a long time, looked at Liu Weida and said, "It's an electric eel, a big electric eel!"

"Did you get shocked just now?" Liu Wei asked.

The villager nodded, "It didn't release the strongest electricity, but I can already feel it with my hands on the water."

"Have you ever been shocked by an electric eel before?" Liu Wei asked.

The villager smiled and said, "I often get electrocuted!"

oh!

It was as if the body had an insulating effect, and he didn't look panicked at all.

Liu Wei handed him the rubber gloves, "Be careful!"

The villager nodded, and instead of using Liu Wei's gloves, he directly picked up the net bag and went deep into the water to fish out the electric eel. The technique was skillful and the positioning was accurate. Without ten years of fishing experience, he could not have done it so smoothly. action.

Liu Wei and De Ye's attention was attracted by the electric eel in the net bag.

"Liu, we caught it!" Master De said excitedly.

The villager also had a happy smile on his face. He put the electric eel into the foam box. The one-and-a-half-meter-long foam box could not fit it, and its tail was rolled up a lot.

The electric eel in the foam box behaves very quietly, as if it is not frightened. If you just look at the appearance, you will be deceived by the appearance. Now if you put the fish finder in, the sound of the electric current will definitely make it... People were frightened upon hearing this.

"Big, big, big..."

"Can such a big electric eel electrocute a crocodile?"

"I guess it's ok, I'll test its discharge later and we'll find out!"

"Master De, prepare the tools!" Liu Wei instructed, turning back to the villagers, "Please send us to the shore!"
