Upon hearing this, Fu Wan hurriedly grabbed a net and went over, but after scooping the fish up, everyone was no longer as excited as before.
"Why is it a ghost-head dagger? What a waste of such a big size!"
If we're talking about the sea fish that Fu Ming dislikes the most, then the Ghost Head Knife is definitely on the list.
Although mahi-mahi looks vibrant in color, its taste is really nothing to write home about. The flesh is quite firm, and even the skilled cook Ye Xiaocui sometimes struggles to cook it properly. To prevent everyone from forgetting what mahi-mahi looks like, I've included a picture from the internet. They've tried braising, steaming, and pan-frying—all these methods—but unless there's nothing else to eat, Fu Ming and the others would rather eat vegetables than mahi-mahi.
However, I heard that a restaurant in the county town tried making sashimi by bleeding fresh mahi-mahi, and the taste was much better than when it was braised or steamed.
"This ghost-head knife isn't even that expensive. Oh dear, my mouth!"
Fu Ming was now filled with regret. He wondered if his good luck had been ruined by his nonsense earlier!
Ye Lin tossed the mahi-mahi aside into the fish basket, and his fishing hook also caught something.
"Oh my, it's a giant grouper!"
Jiang Chunlan exclaimed in surprise and quickly stretched out the net in her hand.
Just as the net was being held up to the gentian grouper in the sea, Ye Lin called out to Fu Ming.
"Amin, come help your aunt! This grouper is too big for her to lift out."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming immediately dropped the fishing hook in his hand and ran over.
"Wow, such a big gentian grouper! Da Linzi, you're amazing!"
Fu Ming was a strong man after all. After taking the net from Jiang Chunlan, and with Ye Lin's help, they quickly scooped up the grouper.
Fu Wan was helping Fu Liang pull the fishing line on the other side, but that didn't stop her from glancing over to see what was happening on the other side.
The result is often more surprising than a casual glance!
Now she had to admit that the giant grouper in front of her was really huge!
This giant grouper is not the same size as the one we caught while beachcombing before; it's dozens of times larger.
"Good heavens, this fish must weigh thirty or forty pounds!"
It truly lives up to its reputation as the largest grouper in the sea. This was the first time Ye Lin had ever pulled up such a large grouper by hand, and his face immediately lit up with a wide smile.
"Dad, let me lend a hand too!"
Ye Zhenxing, standing nearby, was so envious that he wished he could take his father's place. He also wanted to catch big fish and try longline fishing!
Since he was Ye Lin's biological son, and Ye Lin was in a good mood, he picked out a float for him to try out.
"Keep an eye on your hand. If you can't pull it up, don't force it."
After giving Ye Zhenxing his instructions, Ye Lin started hooking another buoy on the sea surface.
Ye Zhenxing nodded as he pulled on the fishing lines at both ends of the float; his hands were even trembling slightly with excitement.
I pull, I pull, I pull la la la!
Fish, come, come, come!
Ye Zhenxing almost shouted out his innermost thoughts. After all, he was a farmer's son, and he never hesitated to shout when helping his family with farm work.
So this kid was quite strong, and before long he saw a fish he'd never seen before, appearing and disappearing in the water.
"Fish! There's a fish!"
Ye Zhenxing was so excited that he almost dropped the fishing line. Ye Lin, who had just pulled up an empty hook, glanced over casually, and the next second his pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed in astonishment.
Holy crap!
"Come here, let Daddy help you!"
It's true that beginners are more likely to catch good fish. He suppressed his excitement, threw aside his empty hook, and grabbed Ye Lin's fishing line.
Even while he was busy, he didn't forget to call for help, "Auntie, quickly bring the net!"
He had met a lot of fish at the dock with Fu Ming before, and if he wasn't mistaken, the fish Ye Zhenxing pulled up was a valuable tuna!
Ye Zhenxing wasn't unhappy when his father came to help. After all, he knew his own limitations. The fish was quite strong, and if he relied on himself, he might be dragged into the sea by it.
Ye Xiaocui was about to stretch the net into the sea when she looked down and, lo and behold, it was a tuna! So she quickly replaced the net with a large fishing hook.
Using a fishing hook is better than a hand net for this type of tuna. Just aim the hook at the gills and dig hard to hook the gills and pull the fish onto the boat.
"This is a yellowfin tuna!" (Image of a yellowfin tuna, please delete if infringing copyright) The yellowfin tuna that the group pulled up weighed about seven or eight pounds. It jumped around a couple of times and then stopped moving.
Jiang Chunlan immediately picked up the knife next to her and bled it. If the tuna is not bled clean in time, it will easily affect the quality of the meat and it will not fetch a good price.
"This fish is the most valuable one we've caught so far. Zhenxing, you're really something!"
Ye Xiaocui, Fu Wan, and the others couldn't help but give Ye Zhenxing a thumbs up, and Ye Zhenxing beamed with joy when he saw it.
"I told you, I could definitely catch a big fish!"
Fu Liang's side only had the large pepper snapper that was valuable before; the ones he pulled up later were all sea bass, the largest of which weighed only three or four pounds.
"Strange, we've really stirred up a hornet's nest today!"
Fu Liang, somewhat annoyed, unhooked the bass from the hook and tossed it into the fish basket next to him.
He didn't count, he only remembered that after the pepper snapper, he pulled up sea bass.
She wasn't in such a bad mood at first, but when she saw the tuna Ye Zhenxing brought up, she instantly became envious.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
No, I must change the current situation.
He thought for a moment and then said to Fu Wan next to him, "Wan, why don't you pull the fishing line and I'll help you?"
Ah Wan has the best luck he's ever seen; she's sure to catch some valuable fish!
Seeing Fu Liang's expression, Fu Wan knew exactly what he was thinking.
However, there weren't many longline fish left at this point. Fu Ming's longline fish had all been pulled up, and Fu Liang didn't have many left either.
"Okay, I'll pull the rest!"
Fu Wan handed the net to Fu Liang, then took the silk thread from his hand.
There were only two floats left in the sea, meaning there were still three hooks that hadn't been pulled up.
Under Fu Liang's expectant gaze, Fu Wan pulled the fishing line twice, and the float rose with the line, but the hook hanging below was empty.
When Fu Liang saw there were no fish, his mood soured even more. He felt that his bad luck must have ruined Fu Wan's good fortune.
Fu Wan was not discouraged. When you go to sea, there are always good times and bad times.
Even if none of these fishing hooks caught any sea fish, the basket was still more than half full!
Thinking this, Fu Wan pulled on the remaining fishing line again, and the next second, she felt the pull on her hand.
There's fish!
Fu Wan quickly called out to Fu Liang beside her, "Brother Liang, hurry up!"
Fu Liang had already extended his net, but when Fu Wan saw the fish on the hook, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Good heavens! The thing on the fishhook is constantly wrapping around my body and struggling violently.
That was clearly a sea eel weighing at least ten kilograms!
Although Fu Wan disliked long, thin creatures like sea eels, she didn't slow down her movements at all.
