As one of the economically important marine fish in our coastal areas, the bullhead trevally may not look impressive, taste particularly delicious, or be very expensive.
However, this guy also holds a place in the seafood market, and a relatively important one at that.
After all, saying it doesn't taste good and has a strong fishy smell is only relative.
At its price point, around ten yuan per kilogram, this product offers relatively good value for money.
Besides being bought and eaten directly, this type of bull mackerel is also often processed into various fish products, such as fish balls and fish paste.
At the very least, this type of sea fish can be used to make various canned foods, pet food, cat and dog food additives, etc.
So don't be fooled by their low prices; they still have their own market, even if they earn less.
As for Bai Yu, the same was true for the bullhead trevally he caught. This guy was floating on the sea, but judging from its size, it was almost a meter long.
Moreover, this thing is nearly a meter long, and it is also quite wide, with a somewhat protruding head.
Regarding weight, even just by looking at him, Bai Yu could tell that this guy weighed over fifty pounds, well over fifty.
Bai Yu then grabbed a net from the side and scooped it up from the head of the bullhead tuna.
The landing net used by Bai Yu was an extra-large net specially prepared for this competition; it was more than capable of catching this small bullhead trevally that was less than a meter long.
It's the tuna I caught yesterday. White fishermen also use this landing net, and it can hold it.
The only troublesome thing is how to get this bull tuna onto the deck. It's a little troublesome for him to do it by himself.
So Bai Yu decisively sought outside help, calling a staff member to assist him. The two of them worked together to get the bullhead tuna up.
In addition, for sea fish like the bullhead trevally, catching it in a competition has a relatively good advantage.
That means you only need to bleed this type of sea fish, without removing its internal organs, which can save the contestants a lot of time.
For some fishermen, they can even skip the bleeding step, since whether or not the bream is bled doesn't significantly affect its price.
That's the advantage of a low price; no matter how much it drops, there's not much room for further reduction.
However, Bai Yu would not do that. He had just bled, so he still had to do it. Besides, the blood that was released wouldn't take up much weight anyway, so there was no need to skip this step.
Moreover, bleeding this bull trevally wasn't too difficult; he simply brute force his way onto the hook, fishing very quickly.
Under his control, when the bull trevally came to the surface of the sea, the changes in water pressure and the continuous struggle left the creature in a state of near-crippled condition.
If Bai Yu wants to bleed the fish, he only needs to make two cuts on the gills of the bullhead trevally, and everything will be fine.
After cutting it, place it in a box of ice water, and then wait a few minutes before putting it in a box of ice.
The whole process isn't too complicated, so why not do it this way?
Anyway, Bai Yu bled the bullhead trevally, then put it in a box filled with ice water. He then baited the hook and threw it into the sea.
On the second day of the competition, his first catch was a bull mackerel weighing over 50 pounds, which can be considered a great start.
Bai Yu is also full of expectations for what he will achieve next, hoping to get even better results today.
But after he cast his line, he casually took out his phone to check the time, and the time displayed on it made him pause for a moment.
If he remembers correctly, he should have started fishing around 6:00, so how come it's already 7:00 after he caught a bullhead trevally?
Bai Yu didn't waste much time in order to catch this bullhead trevally. He fished at the fastest speed, and it took him no more than fourteen or fifteen minutes.
Could it be that the wait has been too long?
He waited for the bull trevally to bite the hook for more than half an hour before it finally arrived.
In other words, while he was dozing off, time had already slipped away unnoticed...
Bai Yu initially thought he was having a good fishing day, catching a fish weighing over 50 pounds on his very first try. However, after realizing that this was only his catch after an hour...
His joy also waned. After an hour, this was all he had accomplished; the result seemed so-so, not something worth mentioning.
Let's see how things go next and see if we can change the current situation and make his gains even greater.
The bullhead trevally is a type of sea fish that usually appears in groups in one place. Once you catch the first one, you can catch the second one.
In addition, the bullhead trevally, which is usually disliked by anglers, is a very popular sea fish in fishing competitions, especially those that only value weight.
Because they appear in groups, are ferocious and gluttonous, they are very friendly to anglers.
As long as there are trevally in the surrounding waters, the contestants in this competition will not lack fish to catch.
Just like Bai Yu now, after casting his second line, he didn't have to wait long before he heard the sound of a fish biting on his rod again.
This time, Bai Yu didn't doze off; he was full of energy and reacted immediately.
However, the fish that took the bait this time were not very big, only about 20 pounds.
Although the fish wasn't very big, Bai Yuhua didn't waste any time either. He only took a few minutes to pull the bull trevally up, completely disregarding whether the fish lived or died. His main focus was efficiency.
Then the third and fourth casts were the same, the frequency of catching fish was not slow, and the fish that bit the hook were all quite large, weighing at least ten or twenty kilograms.
He didn't catch a single bullhead trevally weighing less than ten pounds. He didn't know if it was because there weren't any small fish like that here, or if the small bullhead trevally couldn't swallow his bait.
Bai Yu was puzzled, but he didn't intend to delve into it...
