Chapter 169: Spotted Mackerel King



However, Mayor Gao's anger did not last long, as Zhang Baiyang withdrew due to exhaustion.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, you have to know that time is unforgiving." Mayor Gao did not hesitate to mock him after taking the fishing rod.

Now it was Zhang Baiyang's turn to get angry. He was already 65 years old. It was already very powerful that he could fight with a giant weighing nearly 200 kilograms for four or five minutes.

"You don't have to be so arrogant. I want to see how long you can hold on."

Mayor Gao did not retort, but just sneered. Although he is now fifty years old, he has started exercising since he followed Zheng Gan to catch a big ship last time, just to deal with the situation today.

Five minutes later, Zhang Baiyang just sneered.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Baiyang forced a smile.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Baiyang could no longer laugh.

"Well, I'll let you play with it for a while, so that people won't say I don't respect the elderly and love the young." Mayor Gao handed the fishing rod back proudly. Today's pretense was simply perfect.

Zhang Baiyang wanted to refuse the fishing rod, but he was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity. He just snorted coldly and picked up the fishing rod, continuing to experience the fun of fishing without saying a word.

But after all, he is old, and this time he could only hold on for three or four minutes.

In the end, Zheng Gan came on the field to give the big mackerel the final blow.

"Alas, I am really useless when I get old." Zhang Baiyang sighed. He didn't think so before, but through this sea fishing, he realized that he is indeed old. However, he also made up his mind to start exercising after returning, if for nothing else, just to have more fun when he catches big goods next time.

Lin Hao, who was originally prepared to help, ended up doing nothing and could only drag the big mackerel up with Jiang Feng.

"Wow, such a big mackerel is so rare." Zhao Xing squatted next to the mackerel and poked it with his hands from time to time.

Jiang Feng also came over at this time, took a look at the big mackerel, and then started a scientific education session for everyone.

"This isn't an ordinary swordfish, but a spotted swordfish. Usually, swordfish weigh between a few and a dozen kilograms, but this one is estimated to be over 200 kilograms. It's extremely rare and can be called the spotted swordfish king."

After hearing the explanation, everyone came up to check it out out of curiosity. They all knew a little about the spotted swordfish. This thing is very popular in the south and is very expensive, especially in southern Hainan, where the market price can be as high as 200 yuan per catty.

It tastes delicious and is considered a rare fish species.

After working together to lift the big spotted mackerel king onto the scale, they found that its weight was 189 kilograms.

In other words, if sold alone, this fish could be worth nearly 40,000 yuan.

"Agan, why don't you sell this fish to me?" Zhang Baiyang came over and said with a smile.

Zheng Gan agreed after a brief thought. The key reason was the distance and freshness issues. If he took the fish home, the freshness would definitely be greatly reduced.

"Okay, since Chairman Zhang likes it, I'll give it to you."

Zhang Baiyang was overjoyed and immediately notified the finance department to transfer money to Zheng Gan. Mayor Gao, who was standing next to him, was very envious. He also wanted to buy it, but he couldn't afford it. Of course, it doesn't mean that as a mayor, he couldn't even come up with 50,000 yuan. Everyone knows the reason.

The big boss is the big boss, he is generous. The fish originally had a market value of 40,000 yuan, but he directly transferred 50,000 yuan to me. When I asked, I found out that the extra money was considered the reward for this trip and the deposit for the next reservation.

Now it was Zheng Gan's turn to smile. He made 50,000 yuan from one fish, which was very good. Even if it was not as good as going out fishing, it was still very good.

The morning fishing time ended and lunch was about to begin. Although the two bosses were in high spirits and didn't want to eat at all, Zheng Gan and the others were already starving.

The boat that Zhao Xing rented had its own chef, so the lunch was simple, just a few stir-fried dishes and braised fish.

The chef’s skills are quite good, on the same level as Jia Teng.

However, there were two big guys who kept urging us to continue fishing, so we couldn't stop eating.

"Let's continue after eating. If you don't go now, the two bosses will probably be very worried." Zheng Gan's unpleasant words made the two rookie bosses feel quite embarrassed.

Of course, these words went straight through their ears, and they were only slightly embarrassed for a moment.

I don’t know if it was because it was too hot at noon, but the catch in this direction was much less, and there was no need to cast the rod, so Zheng Gan notified the captain to set sail. Under his command, they searched for more than an hour before they arrived at a pretty good place.

Zheng Gan had run out of bait fish, so he tied a string hook and planned to fish it out. The small bait he bought was not enough to catch a big fish.

However, when fishing for this type of bait fish, you don't need to hang bait on the hook. You just need to get some rotten fish and shrimp, mash them up, and throw them in to make a nest.

You can see from the map that the sea surface at the place you chose has turned black and gray. If you didn't bring a big net, you would probably catch a lot of fish by just casting the net.

"These should all be pond fish. If you want to catch big fish, you can catch a few first." Zheng Gan said as he threw the hook down.

The scientific name of pond fish is blue round scad, also called stick fish in some places. It is a pelagic fish with weak phototaxis at night and will float up in groups during the day. This fish itself is considered to be relatively delicious, and its meat is also a traditional Chinese medicine.

Pond fish is one of the important targets of light fishing in the southeast coast.

"Oh my God, this is so exciting." Zhao Xing stared at the four pond fish on the hook in amazement, a little shocked.

"Of course, as long as the bait is laid, it will bite vigorously even if the hook is empty." Jiang Feng kept putting in and putting in the rod, and soon there were more than a dozen fish in the pond.

This kind of fish that is easy to bite the hook is of no interest to Zheng Gan and his friends. They are just catching some bait. But for novice players, this amount of fish is very satisfying.

"Okay, it's almost done." Looking at the dozen or so fish in the fish box, Zheng Gan also stopped. The preparations were done, and it was time to start the real sea fishing.

The two big guys are also ready to fight. The aura of both sides has changed a little, and it is obvious that they are already competing with each other.

"I say, you two should take it easy, otherwise I won't dare to take you out fishing in the future." Zheng Gan reminded with a wry smile.
