After examining the large yellow croaker for a while, Bai Yu put it into the freezer to keep it fresh.
Regardless, this large yellow croaker is one of the most prized seafoods, so it's only right that Bai Yu treats it with some respect.
As for his wish to catch two more large yellow croakers of the same size, whether he can do so depends on his own skills.
If you catch one, then you're incredibly lucky; if you don't, that's perfectly normal.
After all, if large yellow croakers of this size were so easy to catch, their prices wouldn't be so outrageously high.
Especially considering that so many anglers have come here to fish before, no one has ever heard of anyone catching a large yellow croaker weighing over ten pounds.
Anyway, after Bai Yu caught that big yellow croaker, for the next two hours, he didn't catch a single big yellow croaker of the same size, let alone a smaller one weighing about a pound.
However, he did manage to do one thing: he fulfilled his wish to eat white-scaled fish for lunch. He subsequently caught a considerable number of white-scaled fish, enough for them to have a meal.
Lunch was cooked by Bai Yu. Among the group of people who went out to sea, Bai Yu was the only one with better cooking skills. Under these circumstances, who else would cook if not him?
Although having the boss cook for the employees is a bit rebellious, Bai Yu would rather cook for herself than eat the unpalatable food prepared by Bai Yue, Li Shuang, and others.
Anyway, they're all our own people, and we're on vacation right now, so there's no need to be so clear about who's who and who's who.
Bai Yu also cooked a few simple dishes for lunch: braised whitefish, stir-fried chicken, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a seafood fish ball soup.
After a simple lunch, none of Bai Yu and the others rushed out to fish. They all stayed in the living room of the fishing boat, resting either sitting or lying down.
Even after learning that Bai Yu had caught a ten-pound yellow croaker that morning, Li Shuang and the others could only feel envy, but had no intention of chasing after him.
After all, it was midday, and it was early October.
Although it is now autumn, the late summer sun is still very strong, and since they are fishing at sea, they can safely be exposed to the sun.
On October 4th, the temperature reached 34 degrees Celsius, and the deck, which had been exposed to the sun all morning, had a surface temperature of at least 40 degrees Celsius.
It's much more comfortable to stay in the cabin with the air conditioning on at 26 degrees Celsius, chatting and watching movies, than to fish on the deck during the hottest part of the day.
To pass the time on the high seas, Li Xue, Ke Ke, and the others downloaded a lot of movies and TV series before setting sail.
During the two days they spent traveling, the five girls gathered together every day to watch the show and discuss the plot.
Sometimes, Bai Yu and the others would even go along to take a look.
Although they watched mostly romance dramas, modern films, and period dramas that Bai Yu and others weren't interested in, it has to be said that these videos were actually quite entertaining without internet access.
It's perfectly fine for killing time, and it won't make you too bored.
It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that Bai Yu and the others left the cabin again and came to the deck to continue fishing.
The afternoon fishing session was basically the same as the morning session. The catch was mainly whitebait, with barracuda, yellowfin tuna, pomfret, black sea bream, and rockfish as secondary catches. These were the main types of fish.
It's not that there aren't other sea fish in this area; it's just that with the current weather, only these kinds of fish are relatively active. Other sea fish can be caught, but in very small numbers.
Even the more common red sea bream, for some reason, they've been fishing all day and only caught three or four red sea bream among a dozen people.
As for grouper, despite all those people working for half a day, they didn't catch a single one.
It wasn't until around 4 p.m., when the temperature on the sea had dropped considerably, that Bai Yue finally caught a pearl grouper, their first grouper of the day.
As for the large yellow croaker, it's also around this time that fish start to bite the hook.
However, Bai Yu did not see a single large yellow croaker weighing around ten pounds, which was what he wanted.
From 4:00 to 5:30, in that hour and a half, a total of thirteen people on the fishing boat caught eight large yellow croakers.
I've examined all these large yellow croakers. Only one weighs over two pounds, while the remaining seven weigh around one pound each. Several of them weigh only about nine ounces each.
This was Bai Yu's greatest disappointment. He had thought that not only were there many large yellow croakers here, but each one would also be very large.
But who could have known that the truth was actually like this?
Although this size of yellow croaker meets the standards for market sale, it is still a bit too small for whitefish, which mainly catch large fish.
It wasn't that Bai Yu had high standards, but rather that he had seen too many top-quality large yellow croakers, and he genuinely looked down on these small karaomi.
Bai Yu then reeled in his fishing rod and went to make dinner, hoping to catch some big yellow croakers tonight.
After all, it's not completely dark yet, so maybe the bigger yellow croakers haven't come out yet.
In any case, the fact that Bai Yu was able to catch a 9.7-pound yellow croaker here proves that the resources here are quite good, and there are indeed relatively large yellow croakers.
For Bai Yu, nothing is more important than eating. Even if he wants to go fishing, he has to eat and drink his fill first.
For dinner, let's just have a simple seafood noodle dish. He bought quite a lot of noodles when they went out to sea this time, so we can cook some today and pair them with the seafood they brought. That'll make a delicious seafood noodle dish.
Moreover, the seafood that Bai Yu brought was all produced in their own processing plant. Sometimes the best advertisement is that you are willing to eat your own food. This is sincerity and the best advertisement.
After a simple meal of seafood noodles, Bai Yu and the others rested for a while before preparing to begin their first night fishing trip.
Nighttime is the best time to fish for large yellow croaker, and everyone present hopes for a good catch tonight.
