The old fisherman didn't catch a fish for eighty-four days.But he was still full of fighting spirit, and finally caught a big fish with a length of 18 feet and a weight of 1500 pounds on the eighty fifth day.The old man was fearless as the big fish dragged the boat to the sea.No water, no food, no weapons, no cramps in his left hand, and he never gave in.
After two days and nights of fighting, he finally conquered the big fish and tied it to the side of the boat.This is the scene depicted in Hemingway's masterpiece "The Old Man And The Sea".The big fish fighting with the old man is our leading role today -- marlin.
Marlin,the common name for a large marine fish of the family sailfishes of the order Perciformes.Marlin is a kind of migratory fish. Its dorsal fin is like a sail, its tail is like a sickle, its body is blunt, round and strong, and it is in the shape of a spindle. When swimming, they put down their dorsal fins to reduce resistance.
When they are swimming, their long sword-like snouts soon separate the water to both sides.The tail fin of their tail handle swings constantly, like the propeller on the ship.With its streamlined body, developed muscles and powerful swinging force, and it moves like a flying arrow.They are recognized as the king of short distance sprints in the swimming, with an average speed of 90 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 110 kilometers.
Once they find their prey, they will immediately approach and attack with a long snout.The black shadow behind is enough to make the prey shudder.The ultimate dream of many sea fishing enthusiasts is to capture big malin.
