Their purpose of fishing at this time was purely to relieve boredom. They had been on the boat for such a long time and had already played enough of the entertainment activities prepared before. They were almost sick of playing cards.
So fishing is like saving lives for them at this time.
Especially people like Zheng Gan, who claimed to have achieved certain results in the domestic fishing world, were very excited at this time because he had never caught foreign fish.
Another point is that this is a new copy. According to previous research, if you open a new copy, there is a high chance of getting big stuff.
However, he learned from his previous embarrassing experiences and did not try to show off to others. He planned to wait until he got the real big stuff.
Zheng Gan had just lit a cigarette and was about to start smoking, waiting for the fish to bite, when he heard a movement on the fishing rod. He immediately spit out the cigarette in his mouth and shouted excitedly,
"A good start! A good start! Hahahaha!"
This excited laugh also attracted the attention of others, and they all ran over to watch. After all, this was the first cast, and a fisherman's first cast was no small matter.
"Beautiful!" Engineman Yang Junhui couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Double-spined grouper!"
Zheng Gan caught a double-spined grouper weighing more than five kilograms. This kind of fish lives in this sea area and is a pretty good fish. Usually in China, it can be sold for 150 yuan per kilogram.
It can be considered a good harvest.
"Tsk, what's so great about that? It's because there is no Shi Jiugong here, otherwise the fish that came up would not be this one." Lin Hao felt a little unbalanced. Of course, this was just the mentality of a fisherman.
"Hehe, Haozi, if you are not convinced, come over too." Zheng Gan said happily, and then put the fish into the live fish box.
The fish caught here cannot be sold and can only be eaten directly, so this fish is also one of the midnight snacks.
Lin Hao snorted and went back to fishing. He admired Zheng Gan very much in other aspects, but he had never been convinced when it came to fishing.
After watching the excitement, everyone returned to their seats and started fishing. After this good start, Zheng Gan finally felt relieved. It seemed that the new copy was relatively friendly to him.
In the following time, other people on the boat also started to catch fish one after another, but the value of these fish was quite average. They were all small fish commonly found here and were worth very little. Their only purpose was to let everyone taste them.
Zheng Gan had already entered the mode of fishing for big fish at this time. He was very serious and focused. He had observed through the map that there was a huge red dot swimming towards the position where he cast the rod. It was definitely a big fish.
Completely isolated from the laughter and joy of others, he stared at the map, afraid that he would miss it if he was not careful. The main reason was that except for the competition in Beijing, he had not had a big cargo for too long.
"Get up!" Zheng Gan's sudden roar once again alarmed the other fishermen. They happily put down their fishing rods and ran over to watch.
Because this fishing trip was mainly for fun, they did not use electric reels, and relied entirely on their own strength and experience to fight the big fish. This resulted in Zheng Gan being almost dragged under by the big fish in the sea at the first moment.
Fortunately, Lin Hao was quick to step forward to help, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
"Holy crap! Bro, what the hell did you get?"
Lin Hao actually felt the powerful strength of this big thing through Zheng Gan.
"I don't know, we must hurry up." Zheng Gan gritted his teeth and said word by word. He didn't even have the energy to say anything else at this moment.
Seeing this, the onlookers hurried over to help. The big fish that bites the hook is the most ferocious at the beginning, and this is also the most critical time. After a while, the big fish will consume more energy, and it will be easier to catch it.
It was also thanks to the good quality of Zheng Gan’s fishing rod that the rod did not break, otherwise he would have been furious.
With everyone on the boat on board, it was only half an hour later that we felt the big fish's strength begin to decline.
"This big fish in the sea must weigh more than 300 kilograms." Zheng Gan came down panting, he could hardly hold on any longer.
When it comes to sea fishing, Zheng Gan has a lot of experience. He has caught fish weighing many kilograms, so he can easily judge how heavy the big fish in the water are.
At this time, the main angler has been replaced by Lin Hao. This is also his own strong request. It would be a huge loss if he doesn't take advantage of such a big fish.
Another half an hour passed, and Lin Hao could no longer hold on. However, the big fish was almost in its final stage at this time, and its strength had dropped to half of its previous level, so the other people present were clamoring to go up and experience it.
Zheng Gan expressed his understanding of this. After all, a fish weighing more than 300 kilograms is not something you can come across easily, and it is a fatal temptation for anglers.
After everyone had a good time, Zheng Gan went up himself and dragged the big fish to the side of the boat.
"Oh my god! How could it be this fish?"
Zheng Gan was confused, Lin Hao was confused, and everyone present was confused.
"Let's drag him up first no matter what." Zheng Gan said helplessly.
Everyone could only work together in silence to drag the big fish onto the deck.
"Brother, why don't you let it go? It's a humphead wrasse!" Jiang Feng said cautiously.
The scientific name of the humphead wrasse is undulate wrasse. It is a very expensive and rare fish species and is listed as a protected animal in many countries around the world.
In the past, because this fish was precious, it was hunted in large numbers by humans, resulting in its current population on Earth being less than 100,000.
The largest humphead wrasse is three meters long and weighs 380 kilograms, but the humphead wrasse in front of us definitely weighs more than 300 kilograms, which is already an extremely precious creature.
Zheng Gan is now very conflicted, because the price of this fish is absolutely sky-high, more than enough to buy a house, but it is a protected animal, and privately catching it is illegal, but it feels too pity to let it go.
"Agan, the humphead wrasse is not a protected animal here, and it is not illegal to catch it." Captain Song Zhao reminded him.
Zheng Gan knew it, but even if it was not illegal here, it was a precious marine animal, almost extinct, and it would be a shame to sell it like this.
Don't say he is a saint. He had no such idea before, but since he got the map plug-in and called himself the son of the ocean, his ideas have indeed changed.
