Chen Hong quickly steered the rubber boat back to the fishing boat, climbed onto the stern deck, and tucked the boat away. She patiently waited for another half hour, hoping that most of her hooks would catch fish.

She used the rod and hook to begin retrieving the end of the first set of fishing line. She untied the float and sinker, pulled the main line onto the fishing boat, looped it around the electric winch, and tied it to the crane.

He went back into the wheelhouse, raised anchor, went back to the stern, attached the longline to the electric caster, and turned it on! The main line was slowly pulled onto the boat, and along the rollers specially installed on the side of the boat, a big fish was pulled onto the boat.

Chen Hong sat in front of the electric winch, with a large aquaculture tank in front of her. Watching the electric winch pull large fish out of the water and up the tumbler to her, Chen Hong was very excited.

It seems that using a crane and electric winch can completely replace one person. Automatically pulling the fishing line onto the boat is feasible, allowing her to handle the fish herself.

Below the front end of the electric winch is a large, round plastic basket. The fishing line pulled up by the electric winch will fall into the round plastic basket in circles.

Chen Hong only planned to use each set of longline fishing lines once, and would give them to Uncle Erhu's family to slowly organize the hooks when he got back. Chen Hong sat in front of the winch, pulling in a fish from the side of the boat and untying it.

The spacing between her leader lines is relatively sparse; apart from leaving 15 meters at each end of the rope, the leader lines are spaced 2 meters apart.

In addition, every four or five leader lines are attached to the main line with a sinker to ensure that the entire longline can sink to the lower layers of the seawater.

Each fish she pulled up weighed at least six or seven pounds, with some even reaching over 30 pounds. Chen Hong thought to herself, "Luckily, I bought the thickest and strongest main line, leader, and hooks. Otherwise, the big fish would have broken my line."

The two-meter interval between the leader lines is just right to match the winding speed of the electric winch, and also just right to match the hand speed of manually cutting fish.

Looking at the large bigeye eagles, turbot, sea bass, sole, red eagles, tiger groupers, and wrasses in the breeding tank, Chen Hong's face lit up with a smile.

Basically, with the first set of longline fishing, not a single hook went empty; every single hook caught a fish. Chen Hong was secretly pleased, thinking to herself, "I knew the fish raised in this space would be a deadly temptation for all kinds of sea creatures!"

No big fish in the vicinity were missed; they were all hooked and pulled onto Chen Hong's fishing boat.

Looking at the first big fish pulled up by the longline in the breeding box, Chen Hong estimated that it weighed about 700 or 800 pounds. It seemed that her method was working.

Chen Hong's fishing boat slowly approached the second set of floats on the longline. This time, Chen Hong was more skilled at operating it. He unhooked the float, attached it to the hoist, wound it onto the electric winch, and started the switch.

Gradually, the first big fish slowly surfaced. Struggling fiercely, it was still mercilessly pulled onto the fishing boat by the winch.

Chen Hong quickly grabbed the fish with her left hand and removed the hook with her right, her movements becoming more and more skilled and faster.

In this way, all five sets of longline fishing lines set by Chen Hong were pulled onto the boat. Chen Hong had 70 fishhooks attached to each longline.

There are a total of 350 fishhooks in the five sets. Only about 20 fishhooks did not catch any fish, while the rest caught fish.

Chen Hong looked at the five large fish tanks overflowing with their catch. These weighed at least three to four thousand catties, more than Chen Hong had caught by casting nets in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea.

Although there weren't many of these fish, each one weighed an average of 10 to 15 pounds. It seems there were smaller fish nearby, but they hadn't competed with these larger ones.

Although they lacked strength and speed, they still managed to save the lives of these small fish. The big fish, used to bullying and dominating, never expected that this time they would embark on a path of no return.

The large aquaculture tank next to it contains more than 80 valuable fish species, including grouper, tiger grouper, large blue wrasse, large wrasse, red snapper, bigeye snapper, and mouse grouper.

They had all been deflated by Chen Hong and were now swimming leisurely in the water, no longer showing the panic and desperate resistance they had shown at the beginning.

These deep-sea fish that Chen Hong successfully rescued were among the first to receive her de-inflation service!

Chen Hong had never vented the fish before, but these fish became very temperamental and tried to spit bubbles from their mouths as soon as they got on the boat.

These fish demonstrate that the depth of the waters beneath the East China Sea is unmatched by the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

The dead fish were packed into boxes and thrown into the freezer, while the rescued grouper and other valuable sea fish were placed in the live water tank.

Chen Hong had already filled half the live water tank with water. This would absolutely guarantee that these valuable fish would return to the dock alive and kicking.

Although longline fishing does yield a good catch, most of the fish caught are large, which are too big and wasteful to use as live bait for tuna.
