Cleaning the fish off the deck is a very tiring task, because some of the pomfret scattered on the deck are still alive and haven't died.
To catch it and put it into the basket or box behind you, you need to bend over, and to fill a basket or box, you need to bend over many times.
Over time, this can cause severe lower back pain, making it feel like you can't straighten your back.
Bai Yu was quick; in just a few minutes, he had collected about three baskets of pomfret. Just as he stood up to stretch, he caught a glimpse of the stern of the boat.
Then he saw a situation he didn't want to see: another trawl net had been taken back!
Before they had even finished their work on this side, another trawl net was brought to the stern of the boat, and judging from the condition of this net, the catch inside was about the same as the previous one.
Bai Yu glanced at the stern, then at the few remaining pomfret on the deck. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and work harder to clear the fish off the deck as quickly as possible, making enough space for the trawl net at the back.
A few more minutes passed, and while Bai Yu and the others were cleaning up their catch, Brother Huang and a crew member were working on another trawl net.
Once the deck was cleaned, the No. 2 trawl net had already been lifted by the crane above the unloading port, ready to begin unloading.
Taking advantage of a break while unloading the fish, Bai Yu plopped down on the deck, panting heavily.
Working on the deck isn't actually that tiring; it's not as tiring as running a 10,000-meter race.
However, this thing is not very friendly to the back. In order to quickly clean the fish on the deck, the crew can only bend over to handle it.
These pomfret are different from other sea fish. If they were filefish or yellow croaker, which are worthless sea fish, the crew would have already used large shovels to dig them up.
However, this is a fighting pomfret, which can sell for over a hundred yuan per kilogram. There are certain requirements for its appearance.
If the appearance of the pomfret is damaged, its price will also be affected, and then Baiyu's company will suffer losses for no reason.
Therefore, the crew members probably have to be extra careful when handling these slightly more valuable sea fish.
In that case, the crew members' backs would suffer.
Fortunately, they could take a short break while unloading the fish, and then continue working after they finished.
This net also yielded a catch of ten to twenty tons of fish, including some trevally. Just when Bai Yu thought the situation on the deck would be the same as last time, another accident occurred.
"Holy crap, holy crap, how come there's such a huge thing in here? Boss Bai, Lao Liu, Lao Li, stop resting, each of you grab a big shovel and get ready, we've got a big one in our net!"
Just as Bai Yu was resting on the deck, he heard Brother Huang's voice, so he grabbed a big shovel and went over.
"Brother Huang, what's wrong? A few brothers were helping you deal with the big fish, why did you call us in too?"
"Mr. Bai, look at the situation in the trawl net. Look in the middle, isn't there a big fish there? It looks a bit like a shark. This guy is hanging in the air, eating right inside the net!"
Regarding Bai Yu's question, Brother Huang pointed to the fishing net and said.
Bai Yu looked in the direction Huang Ge was pointing, and just one glance made him gasp in astonishment!
"Holy crap, where did this great white shark come from?! This guy is a complete menace! It must weigh four or five hundred pounds, with such a big mouth, it can eat more than ten pounds of pomfret in one bite! That's all money!"
That's right, what surprised Bai Yu wasn't the great white shark in the fishing net, but the speed at which this guy ate the pomfret!
Bai Yu is no stranger to great white sharks; he has caught them several times in the past.
To his dismay, the creature was far too greedy. Even after being caught in the trawl net, it kept eating, as if nothing could interrupt its feeding rhythm.
The key point is that the pomfret this guy is eating are all from Bai Yu and his team's catch. Every time this guy takes a bite, Bai Yu and his team will suffer a loss.
With their money threatened, Bai Yu and the others began to look at the great white shark with strange eyes, and they started to eagerly try using the large shovels in their hands.
However, when the great white shark actually came onto the deck, they discovered an awkward situation: they seemed to have a hard time getting it to move.
Although there were six of them, each carrying a large shovel, the shovel was far too small for the great white shark.
And this guy just happened to be blocking the top of the fish unloading opening, blocking it so tightly that all the fish caught behind slid onto the deck.
The unloading hatch on their fishing boat was a skylight in the form of a fence. This thing blocked the unloading hatch, which made the unloading hatch bring considerable resistance when Bai Yu and the others pushed it.
The key is that Bai Yu and his companions have an innate fear of great white sharks. Don't say they are cowards; anyone would be afraid of a great white shark weighing four or five hundred pounds and about three meters long.
Given the numerous constraints, the six of them were at a loss as to what to do with the great white shark.
They were unable to catch the great white shark, and the consequences were very serious: more and more pomfret were scattered on the deck, far exceeding the number caught in the previous net.
In this situation, Brother Huang decisively called for backup and summoned crew members from another shift.
