Not only Bai Qianzhou and A Cai, but even Fang Min, who was originally watching the excitement with a net, was now holding a fishing rod and pulling in the fish with all her might.
He Guohua was delighted that the inspectors could now see his back molars.
"Haha, great, great, all the fish have been caught! All the fish have been caught! Now I really don't have to worry anymore!"
Li Zhong wasn't as happy as He Guohua. Of all the workers on the speedboat, he was the only one who was free. He hurriedly grabbed a hand net, looking at this and that, and for a moment he was even more nervous than Fu Wan and the others who were reeling in the fish.
Oh dear, it'll be fine if these people pull their fish up one by one, but if all three of them pull their fish out of the water at the same time, where will he put his net?
"Li Zhong, quickly bring the net!"
Bai Qianzhou's voice rang out, and Li Zhong hurriedly turned around and ran over.
Fu Wan looked over at the sound and saw that Bai Qianzhou had indeed pulled the fish out of the water. To Fu Wan's surprise, the fish he caught was not a large golden tuna barbarian, but a star grouper, which is the most beloved fish in the port city!
"Wow, what a beautiful grouper! Mr. Li, let me fish it out!"
He Guohua rolled up his sleeves, eager to try. He strode forward, pushed Li Zhong aside, and picked up a net to scoop up the fish that were still slapping the water with their tails.
Li Zhong was speechless. The boss was the boss, and there was nothing he could do. So he could only step aside and see if Fu Wan and A Cai had caught their fish yet.
He Guohua is at least a man in his prime, and even though he is usually busy with social engagements, catching a grouper shouldn't be a problem for him.
Soon, he scooped the Emperor Starfish onto the boat safely.
Two inspectors took out a measuring tape and dragged it over the fish box. "28 centimeters long, Mr. He, congratulations!"
Those who know the truth would think they've caught a fish, while those who don't would think He Guohua has been born.
He Guohua laughed heartily, "Congratulations! Oh dear, hurry up and put it in the fish tank, don't let it die!"
This emperor grouper was very active. Bai Qianzhou removed the hook, and the sardine that had just been hooked was eaten clean.
Just as he was pondering whether to cast the line again, Ah Cai shouted.
"Oh dear, I've pulled up my fish too!"
"Li Zhong, come help me quickly!"
Li Zhong had been preparing for a long time. In order to prevent He Guohua from taking over the fishing job again, he hurriedly picked up the hand net and went into the deep water before he could even see the fish in the water clearly.
Fu Wan turned her head and immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Hey, don't use the net, use the iron hook instead, there's a horse down there!"
"Okay, I'll change it right away!"
Li Zhong was too busy to find the iron hook, so Bai Qianzhou picked it up and handed it to him.
And so, a ten-pound threadfin bream was hauled onto the boat.
Before everyone could catch their breath, Fang Min's fish also burst out of the water.
With a loud crash, Fu Wan and the others looked over, as did He Guoli and his group who had come from afar after spotting the flock of seabirds.
"Damn, Blue Marin!"
A blue figure resembling a sailfish appeared before everyone's eyes. It was about one meter long, and its ferocity caused Ah Cai and Li Zhong to roar in alarm.
"Oh dear, be careful! Marin's beak is very sharp; don't let it puncture the speedboat."
"Haha, that's impressive! This Marin must weigh at least twenty pounds, Miss Fang, you're amazing!"
Fang Min was a little embarrassed by the praise, but her hands remained steady as she firmly gripped the fishing rod and played the fish.
As expected of a marlin belonging to the sailfish family, its ferocity rivals that of the sailfish Fu Wan had seen before.
This fish looks very similar to the sailfish, but people usually call the one with a large dorsal fin like a sail a sailfish, while the one with a small dorsal fin a marlin.
Marlins are generally distinguished by their body color. The marlin that Fang Min caught was mainly dark blue with a silvery-white belly, making it a genuine blue marlin.

When the fish was pulled up, everyone could see it more clearly, and Ah Cai exclaimed in surprise.
"Tsk, Marin's mouth is indeed rounder than a swordfish's."
Bai Qianzhou nodded and added, "Not only is it round, it's also shorter."
If the swordfish's upper jaw is a long and sharp sword, then the marlin's upper jaw is a veritable short knife.
The inspector picked up a tape measure to measure the fish's length, but Fu Wan, who was still playing with the fish, quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Wait a minute, don't go near Marin right now. This kind of fish is very intelligent and will play dead. It's not too late to measure it after it stops moving completely."
The inspectors were somewhat skeptical after hearing Fu Wan's words.
Because they had never heard of marlin attacks on people.
"I don't think so, the fish isn't moving anymore."
"Hey, don't be stupid, let me try first."
When Ah Cai saw that they actually questioned Fu Wan's words, he picked up the fishing rod and poked the marlin without saying a word.
"thump!"
Before Ah Cai could reel in his fishing rod, the marlin, which had been completely still on the ground, suddenly leaped up and charged towards Ah Cai.
Even though Ah Cai was prepared, he was still so frightened by the marlin that he fell on his backside.
Fortunately, Bai Qianzhou reacted quickly enough, picked up the big iron hook and imitated Fu Wan's previous action of hitting the shark, giving the marlin a loving lesson.
After knocking more than ten times, the fish finally stopped moving completely.
Ah Cai, still shaken, let out a breath and then looked at the two inspectors who also looked terrified.
"Hey, did you see that clearly? Damn it, I saved your lives!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for Miss Fu stopping you, you two would definitely be stung by the marlin by now!"
The inspectors looked at each other, and in the end, they could only honestly apologize.
"I'm sorry, we were wrong."
"Thank you, Miss Fu and Mr. Cai. If it weren't for you, we would definitely have been injured."
"That's more like it."
Ah Cai stood up, thinking to himself that these two were indeed much better than the initial inspectors.
Fu Wan shook her head and took a deep breath. Now all the fish on the boat had been hauled up, and only hers was left!
However, she was almost there. She had been playing the fish for over half an hour, and there were still more than fifty meters of fishing line left to reel in.
Fu Wan had a strong premonition that this fish was definitely extraordinary!
"Hahaha, Marin, we've got Marin on board too!"
A burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out, the exaggerated sound startling the seabirds circling above the sea so much that they almost fell into the ocean.
Fu Wan and the others looked up and saw He Guoli and He Guoqiang holding fishing rods and laughing exaggeratedly on the sea about ten meters away.
There were indeed two marlins at the other end of the fishing rod. Judging by their size, they were larger than the ones Fang Min caught, and they seemed to be about two meters long.
"Damn, those two bastards actually hooked up with Marlin!"
Ah Cai muttered a curse under his breath, while He Guohua remained indifferent.
So what if it's big? Marlins aren't particularly valuable in the market, at least not as much as bigeye tuna or bigeye tuna.
And they haven't even hauled the marlin aboard yet; such a big fish is a problem to haul onto the boat safely.
Fu Wan's attention was only distracted for a moment before she refocused on her fishing rod. By this time, it was already getting dark, but that did not prevent Fu Wan from suddenly catching a glimpse of golden light across the unfathomable sea.
