Killing the bluefin tuna was relatively easy, but getting it onto the yacht was a more complicated matter.
After all, they are on a yacht now, which is mainly for sightseeing, not for fishing.
Even on this single deck, the distance from the sea surface is significantly higher than other fishing boats and dinghies, and given the sheer size of this bluefin tuna...
Even with their specially made extra-large landing net, they can't catch this bluefin tuna!
Previously, when Lu Sheng and his team were fishing for that bluefin tuna weighing over 700 pounds, it took them quite a bit of effort to get it onto the deck. Now that this bluefin tuna is even bigger, you can imagine how difficult it will be.
"Dude, stop making a fuss. You're offering a million for this bluefin tuna? Dude, please take a look at the sky over here first, and then take a look at the sky over there. Do you know how far apart we are?"
Come on, you who offered a million, come out here. I accept your price, but we don't offer free shipping. If you want it, you'll have to come and pick it up yourself.
Alright, enough with the nonsense, I still have work to do!
After seeing that the sea had returned to calm, Bai Yu stopped chatting with the viewers in the live stream.
After he shot the harpoon, he came to the computer and chatted with netizens. Many of them became interested in the bluefin tuna and said in the comments that they wanted to buy it.
Moreover, many of them are very sincere; their usernames are things like "XX Seafood" or "XX Hotel," which clearly indicate that they are shop accounts rather than private ones.
But as Bai Yu himself said, these people should really look at the background sky in the live stream before making their offers, and then look at the sky in China.
It's early morning in the Atlantic Ocean where Bai Yu and his group are, while it's afternoon in China. You can imagine the difference between them.
Furthermore, Bai Yu and his group have no plans to return to China, so even if someone buys this bluefin tuna, they won't deliver it to their door.
Bai Yu then ignored the comments in the live stream and went to the side of the boat to prepare to deal with the bluefin tuna.
To get this bluefin tuna onto the deck, a crane would be needed first; it's unrealistic to expect them to lift it up manually.
However, if they wanted to use a crane to lift the bluefin tuna up, they would need to tie the crane rope to the fish's tail; otherwise, they wouldn't know where to begin.
After some discussion, Bai Yu and the others decided to use the old method: they went down the rope ladder and then manually attached the rope to the tuna's tail.
Moreover, it's clear that one person isn't enough to attach the rope to its tail; it's best to have two people working together.
Finally, Wang Haojun and Wang Hai descended to the surface of the sea via a rope ladder, while Bai Yu turned the reel on the deck, adjusting the angle of the bluefin tuna to expose its tail as much as possible.
When this bluefin tuna was alive, the white fisherman certainly couldn't have dragged such a large fish, but now that it's dead...
Although Bai Yu still feels a heavy weight on the fishing rod when he pulls it now, it is much easier to pull it now.
It took Bai Yu and his crew another ten minutes or so to finally reel in the tuna and hang it on the deck at the bow of the boat.
However, Bai Yu and his group did not put the bluefin tuna down. Instead, they stopped after it reached a certain height.
Then, we started bleeding the bluefin tuna head down and tail up by holding it upside down so that the bleeding could be done faster.
For high-end seafood like tuna, which can be used to make sashimi, the freshness of the fish is extremely important. At the same time, the fish must not contain blood, otherwise the fish is essentially ruined.
With a few slashes from Bai Yu, blood flowed continuously from the man's body, and soon a pool of fish blood accumulated on the deck.
After draining the blood, the tuna needs to undergo surgery, specifically evisceration, to remove all of its internal organs.
As for the fish head, it doesn't need to be processed. In some restaurants, the tuna head is even useful.
Even the eyes of tuna are said to have some medicinal effects when eaten.
However, Bai Yu had never tried it, so he didn't know if it was real.
After a busy half-day, it took me a while to clean and prepare the bluefin tuna.
Then Bai Yu found a scale and weighed the guy briefly. It was just a simple weighing, because Bai Yu's scale was too small and the bluefin tuna was too long, so the weight wasn't very accurate.
Even so, after the results were announced, gasps of surprise rippled through the deck, and the live stream chat was flooded with awesome comments.
This Atlantic bluefin tuna, after being bled and gutted, weighed 1168 pounds. And this number is not entirely accurate; the actual weight may be even higher.
But none of that matters now. The conditions on the yacht are limited, and a catch of over 1,100 kilograms is enough. This has once again broken the record for the largest fish catch ever made by Bai Yu!
From just over a thousand pounds before, he jumped to over a thousand one hundred pounds, which is a huge breakthrough.
Once Bai Yu and the others had placed the bluefin tuna into the cold storage, everything was finally over, and everyone could rest for a while.
