After bringing the tarpon onto the deck, Bai Yu only observed it briefly before starting to process it.
Unlike other sea fish that need to be bled and gutted after being taken out of the water for preservation, the large silver carp needs to have its scales and flesh stored separately.
In other words, what Bai Yu needs to do now is to scrape off all the scales of this big tilapia, then wash it clean and store it properly.
As for fish, there aren't many requirements; normal freezing is sufficient.
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so Bai Yu picked up a wooden board and started scraping the fish scales.
The reason for using wooden boards is that their cross-section is wider, allowing for the removal of more fish scales at once.
Bai Yu took a wooden board and poked around on the big tilapia a few times, removing large patches of scales. Then he flipped it over and continued poking the other side of the tilapia.
Before long, the scales on both sides of this bighead carp had been almost completely scraped off. While it wouldn't be said that not a single scale remained on its body, very few were left.
At this point, the large silver carp can be stored in a cold storage, and the scales on the deck can be cleaned off.
However, before Bai Yu could put the cleaned tarpon into the cold storage, he heard a series of heavy thuds hitting the deck.
Bai Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Wang Hai and Lu Sheng also had a large silver carp in front of them. The two silver carp were about the same size as the one Bai Yu had caught.
The last sound came from the back of the yacht, presumably indicating that the crew had also caught a big fish.
Three months after Bai Yu and his crew began their world tour, Bai Yu relaxed the restrictions on the people on the yacht. If they wanted to go fishing, Bai Yu wouldn't say much, as long as it didn't interfere with their work.
Whether it's the yacht crew or the security personnel, they can fish if they want.
Just like when they set crab traps before, they wanted to earn some extra money for themselves, otherwise they would just be idling on the yacht anyway.
Bai Yu had already made this suggestion, but at first the staff thought that just setting crab traps to earn some extra money would be enough, and they didn't intend to fish.
However, as the time spent at sea increases, even though the yacht has internet access, the facilities on board are limited.
Gradually, some of the crew members started fishing to pass the time. However, the security personnel did not fish. Even someone like Wang Haojun, who also liked fishing, would not touch the fishing rod except to help Bai Yu and the others.
In their words, the salary paid by Baiyu was for their safety; the seven-figure salary did not allow them to fish, and even when they had nothing else to do, they were not allowed to fish.
Bai Yu didn't insist anymore. If Wang Haojun and the others didn't want to fish, then they shouldn't. He respected their wishes.
However, it seems that the security personnel on duty on the deck have something to do now; they seem to have encountered a school of bighead carp!
It's no wonder Bai Yu had this idea; it's based on his judgment of the current situation.
He had just caught a large silver carp weighing over 100 jin (50 kg), and Wang Hai and Lu Sheng, who were right next to him, also caught one, both of them a meter or two long.
That wasn't all; Li Shuang, Li Xue, Zhang Yuxin, and the others were also fishing with fishing rods in hand.
Of the eight fishermen at the bow of the boat, apart from Bai Yu and his two companions who had just caught fish, none of the rest were idle.
Oh, wait, now there are two more people just sitting around doing nothing.
Li Shuang and Ke Ke, they didn't know what happened, one second they were fishing hard, the next second they both lost their lines.
Either the fish got off the hook or the line broke, so the two of them didn't catch any fish and ended up losing dozens of meters of fishing line.
The reason why Wang Haojun and the others are also busy is that now that they have all caught fish, the bighead carp on the deck has not been cleaned.
And these big bream need to have their scales scraped off and stored, so that task would fall to Wang Haojun and the others.
After Bai Yu told Wang Haojun about this, the latter agreed without hesitation and immediately called over his security team to start dealing with the large trevally on the deck.
Bai Yu rebaited his fishing hook, cast it out, and then went to Li Xue's side.
"Xue'er, is the fish you're fishing for big? Do you need my help?"
Bai Yu asked Li Xue the same question again.
"It's okay, Brother Bai. I can still hold on. I want to try to catch this fish myself. If I can't, I'll call you."
"Okay, call me if you can't hold on any longer. Oh my god, I caught some fish over there too. I'm going back to fishing now."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he returned to his fishing spot and then suddenly pulled his fishing rod upwards.
As Bai Hao lifted the rod to set the hook, he also took the opportunity to get a feel for the size of the fish that had taken the bait. This time it was another big fish weighing nearly 100 pounds!
'Oh my god, another big fish! What's going on? Could it be a school of giant tuna?'
At this point, Bai Yu was also a little undecided.
What he told Wang Haojun before was just a casual remark; he didn't really know the specifics of the situation underwater.
But judging from the current frequency of catching fish, it seems they have actually encountered a school of bighead carp, and there seem to be quite a few large fish in this school.
If Bai Yu had X-ray vision at this moment, he could see a large school of tarpon swimming beneath their yacht.
This school of giant silver carp contains a great many large fish, with many exceeding one meter in length, and even giants exceeding two meters in length appearing from time to time.
As for the 20-pound tilapia that Bai Yu and his group caught first, it was like food to these guys, and it wouldn't last more than three minutes.
That's right, small tarpon become food for giant tarpon. You don't know if these tarpon eat them intentionally or unintentionally, but they do eat them anyway.
As for why a large group of giant tarpon appeared in this sea area, they were actually chasing a group of anchovies. They were in the process of feeding, and all the smaller fish in this sea area that they could swallow whole were their food.
In this situation, the bait that Bai Yu and the others hung on their fishing hooks was naturally a type of food, something that could be swallowed by the giant tilapia.
Then, the frequency of their catches naturally increased. As long as they cast their bait, within two minutes, a bighead carp would inevitably bite.
Moreover, it would be at least a large tarpon over a meter long; smaller tarpon would have already been driven away or eaten.
Bai Yu's fishing rod was in the same boat; another big fish had taken the bait, and all he had to do now was reel it in as quickly as possible.
The faster he catches a fish, the sooner he can catch the next big bream.
It's a pity that Bai Yu doesn't have X-ray vision.
