"There's a large shipment, and it's still alive."
He was overjoyed and shouted out happily.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye and Feng Xuan immediately perked up, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"How big is it?" Feng Ye asked impatiently.
"I'm not sure, but this fish is very strong; it must be a big one."
Ah-Can replied, while simultaneously intensifying efforts to recover the main storyline.
The three of them immediately became excited; they had finally made a gain.
Despite Ah-Can's efforts, he didn't see the big fish, but instead saw a tangled mess of lines.
It turned out that the main line and the sub-lines were tangled together, and it wasn't just one or two sub-lines, but countless lines that were intertwined in a huge, messy tangle.
There was indeed a fish, and it was alive. It wasn't a big problem; it weighed only a little over a pound. The key issue was that it was a worthless bluefin bream.
The three of them were so angry they almost vomited blood; their joy was all for nothing.
"Damn, I thought it was a big fish, but it turns out I've been tricked. Damn it..."
Ah-Can, grumbling and cursing, pulled up the large mass and continued gathering it along the main thread.
Feng Ye untied the bluefin tuna, threw it into a bucket filled with seawater, and kept it alive.
This is at least the first gain of the day, so it's only right that I get better treatment.
Normally, mackerel are only fit to stay in the basket, whether they live or die is irrelevant.
Feng Xuan tried to untie the knotted thread, but found it difficult, requiring a lot of patience and time.
There's no time to solve it now; I'll just have to wait until I get back this afternoon to solve it slowly.
Helpless, they had no choice but to put away the other end of the baited bait as well.
This basket of longline fishing is unusable today.
Perhaps thinking he wouldn't catch much with longline fishing today, Ah-chan's reeling technique became much rougher, no longer as careful as before, and the speed was much faster.
Several more threads were collected, but none of them were fresh.
These fish must have been hooked the day before yesterday, and after soaking in the seawater for a whole day and night yesterday, they're no longer fresh.
After being caught, these fish were temporarily left aside, to be chopped up and used as bait for the next basket of longline fishing.
Fresh fish have value; stale fish are just waste that can be recycled.
...
In less than an hour and a half, all the longline fish had been pulled up.
Apart from the first basket, there were no more knots, and the catch rate was quite high with very few empty hooks, although there weren't many fresh fish.
It has to be said that this is a frustrating thing.
A thousand hooks yielded less than fifty fresh fish, mostly mackerel, barracuda, sea bass, and black sea bream; not a single valuable fish.
The results were terrible compared to the previous two days.
