The fish that Wang Shuo usually catches in the river, and the fish he caught on Coconut Island this morning, don't have such exaggerated pulling force.
Could it be that there's a grouper weighing over a hundred pounds under his fishing rod?
Upon thinking of this, Wang Shuo, who had never dealt with deep-sea fish before, was so excited that his hands trembled. But he quickly forced himself to calm down.
No, he had to listen to Boss Fu. Catching the fish wasn't something to get excited about yet; he could get excited after they were successfully pulled up.
Otherwise, if the fish escapes, wouldn't he have been disappointed?
Thinking this, Wang Shuo carefully followed Boss Fu's instructions and started playing the fish.
He had some fishing experience, and once he calmed down, reeling in the fish became much easier.
The boat was bustling with excitement, and Fu Wan and Fu Ming underwater were equally thrilled.
Because as soon as they came down, they encountered a huge school of fish!
And it was a pack of sea wolves!
Fu Ming's eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his harpoon to charge at the school of fish, but Fu Wan quickly stopped him and shook her head at him.
It wasn't that Fu Wan was disgusted; it was just that there was nothing to eat at home before, so she would fight back when she encountered sea wolves.
Now, everyone in the family has become picky about food. Sea wolf meat is tough and bony, and doesn't taste very good. If we drive the sea wolves back, they will most likely either be sold or given to Wangcai and the others to eat.
Since they've just come down, why don't we go check the coral reefs for other fish first?
Thinking this, Fu Wan stopped Fu Ming from going over.
Fu Ming was puzzled, but at that moment the pack of sea wolves was like a huge storm. Seeing two unfamiliar species suddenly appear in the sea, the alert sea wolves immediately turned and swam in the opposite direction.
The speed was so fast that even if Fu Ming raised his harpoon, he probably wouldn't be able to hit it.
Fu Ming immediately understood Fu Wan's reason for not letting him fight the sea wolves. Instead of wasting time on trouble, it was better to take the opportunity to appreciate the rare beautiful scenery in front of him.
After all, you can't see such a beautiful view from the shore.
The sea wolf storm lasted for less than half a minute before Fu Wan and Fu Ming could no longer see them.
Seeing this, Fu Wan made a downward gesture to Fu Ming, then swung her legs and swam towards the seabed like a mermaid.
Although this is a deep-sea area, the water depth is not particularly exaggerated, probably only about fifty or sixty meters at most.
The two swam downstream for about five minutes, and the unparalleled underwater world gradually appeared before their eyes.
Even though she had witnessed the beauty of the underwater world countless times, Fu Wan was still mesmerized by the magnificent sight before her.
The lush sea anemones sway from side to side with the current, and sea fish of different colors dart among the coral reefs and sea anemones.
At a glance, you can see parrotfish, goatfish, green grouper, yellowback snapper...
Oh my goodness, Fu Wan hurriedly picked up the harpoon gun. Good heavens, it was finally time for her favorite part: fishing.
Having not been in the water for quite some time, Fu Wan had been missing the feeling of hunting fish underwater back in Gangcheng.
The experience of hunting and fishing is quite different from fishing. Fishing involves more luck, and with the bottomless seawater obscuring the view, anglers have to reel in the fish for quite a while before they know what kind of fish they caught.
In contrast, fishing and hunting are quite different. To put it simply, fishing and hunting feel more like eating at a buffet or strolling through a vegetable garden; you can eat or hunt whatever you want, entirely depending on the hunter's mood.
Fu Wan inserted the bamboo arrow into the harpoon, then suddenly stretched the rubber band taut. The sea fish noticed her smile and scattered in all directions.
Fu Wan hurriedly chased after them, intending to search for traces of sea fish in the coral reefs, but at that moment, she suddenly heard a noise behind her.
Fu Wan turned her head and looked right at Fu Ming, who was holding a harpoon and had a sullen expression.
"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."
When Fu Wan looked over, Fu Ming gestured wildly. Even though his face was covered by a diving mask and his expression was not visible, Fu Wan could still feel his anger from his gestures.
Haha, you don't even need to guess, even a fool could tell that Fu Ming's first shot definitely missed, and the fish got away!
Fu Wan patted his shoulder and pointed in the direction of the coral reef.
It's just a fish; it's already gone. There are plenty more down there!
After comforting Fu Ming, Fu Wan picked up the harpoon gun again.
She's been in the water for so long, but she hasn't fired the first shot yet!
Just then, fish hiding in the crevices of the reef began to swim out one after another. Fu Wan immediately spotted a fish with colors and patterns that matched the coral reef. Judging from its appearance, it should be a Napoleon wrasse weighing about one pound.
Thinking that Su Mei tasted pretty good, Fu Wan swam over silently, then aimed at the fish and immediately pulled the trigger.
The bamboo arrow shot out suddenly, creating a series of bubbles. Before Fu Wan could see whether it had hit the target, the fish immediately began to struggle, and the seawater was stirred up into a murky mess.
Fu Wan swam forward, pulling the fishing line attached to the bamboo arrow, and finally pulled the fish that had been hit out of a crevice under a huge reef.
Only after taking it out did Fu Wan realize with surprise that the fish in her hand was not actually a grouper, but a wrasse.
The flavor of the grouper is also quite good. If the heat is controlled well when steaming, the fish meat is even more tender than that of the grouper.
With that thought, Fu Wan took the colorful eyebrow off the bamboo arrow with satisfaction, then untied the net and stuffed it inside.
With her first catch, Fu Wan picked up her speargun and prepared to catch a second fish.
While searching for her target fish, she didn't forget to look back at Fu Ming's catch.
Not far away, Fu Ming was also dissecting a fish. He and Fu Wan were less than ten meters apart. A parrotfish weighing about two pounds was stuck in the bamboo arrow of his harpoon.
Seeing Fu Wan looking over, Fu Ming excitedly picked up the fish and gestured to her.
Fu Wan also picked up her net bag and waved it at him.
Seeing this, Fu Ming gave Fu Wan a thumbs up. After the two showed off to each other, Fu Wan tied up the net and then continued searching for targets in the coral reef.
She hadn't swum two steps when she spotted another stonefish, which looked to weigh at least two pounds. This time, Fu Wan used a harpoon. The fish was too poisonous, so she waited until it stopped moving before daring to take out her scissors and cut off the poisonous barbs on its back.
Now that she has all the ingredients for steaming and stewing, Fu Wan plans to catch a few lobsters to take home.
But perhaps because the water was too deep, she lifted several large rocks but still couldn't find any lobsters.
Just as Fu Wan was feeling a bit disappointed and was wondering whether she should try looking in another coral reef, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a rhinoceros shrimp lying in the mud and sand under the seaweed not far away!
Hey, rhinoceros shrimp is good too, it tastes almost the same as mantis shrimp.
Most importantly, they both taste better than lobster!
Thinking of this, Fu Wan hurriedly stepped forward. The rhinoceros shrimp, lying in the mud and sand, was completely unaware of the approaching danger. Fu Wan didn't have to exert much effort and struck the rhinoceros shrimp with lightning speed. By the time the rhinoceros shrimp reacted and struggled, Fu Wan had already put it into the net bag with great satisfaction.
