After the bluefin tuna was processed and the blood was drained, the two carried it into the cabin.
There are too many sardines, and they're relatively cheap, so it doesn't matter if they're on the deck.
But bluefin tuna is different; these fish are too valuable, and even slight damage can affect their price.
Therefore, it must be preserved properly; they even covered the fish with crushed ice to ensure its freshness.
In hot weather, every boat that goes out to sea carries some ice, in preparation for the valuable catch.
Afterwards, Feng Ye went to the wheelhouse to start the boat.
After Ah-Can lowered the trawl net, he picked up the landing net to scoop up the fish.
Feng Ye skillfully steered the Rising Sun slowly forward, constantly keeping an eye on the movements on the sea.
There are too many ships on the sea at this time, so we have to be extra careful not to trespass into other people's work areas.
Getting the trawl nets tangled together is a minor issue; with a little time, there's a way to untangle them.
If the propeller gets tangled in the trawl net, that would be truly terrible.
"Hey, Harvest!"
Suddenly, a familiar large ship appeared on the sea some distance to the left front.
"What? Harvest? Where is it?"
Ah-Can, who had been focused on catching fish, heard Feng Ye's voice and looked up, glancing around.
Feng Ye pointed: "There."
Ah-Can looked in the direction he was looking and saw it too. He exclaimed in surprise, "It really is the Harvest! Aren't they fishing in the open sea? How come they're here?"
They had just been talking about how they regretted missing the feast, but unexpectedly, they found themselves in it themselves.
"The Harvest has been out for several days, and it was probably on its way back for rest and repairs when it ran into the sardine run."
Feng Ye thought for a moment and then speculated.
However, the Rising Sun was also trawling, making it inconvenient to approach.
Moreover, there were two trawlers between them.
"I wonder how long they've been here, and whether they've made as much as we have?" Ah-Can said with a smile.
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that bluefin tuna.
A bluefin tuna weighing over 150 pounds is worth at least two or three thousand yuan.
"We'll find out when we go over and take a look during breakfast."
After saying that, Feng Ye stopped paying attention to the Harvest and focused on sailing.
More than half an hour later, Ah-Can was panting heavily, leaning against the gunwale, shaking his aching hands.
"Ah Chan, come and steer the boat, I'll go salvage some more."
Seeing this, Feng Ye stuck his head out and shouted loudly.
After resting for so long, its hands have recovered considerably, the soreness has been greatly reduced, and it can continue to fight.
"Damn, this job is really tiring. It was much easier catching small yellow croakers last time."
As he spoke, A-Can ran into the driver's seat and took the steering wheel from Feng Ye.
Both are about catching fish, but one is alive and struggling, while the other is unconscious, so the effort required is naturally different.
"Let's keep catching them. If we really can't catch them anymore, we'll stop and just use the trawling net."
Feng Ye shook his head, got out of the driver's seat, and picked up the landing net.
After several scoops, the net was mechanically extended back into the sea.
Every net was pretty much the same; he was catching sardines anyway, and it only took physical effort, which made him a little careless.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just then, a brightly colored big fish flew headfirst into the net.
Feng Ye was completely unprepared; the force of the impact almost caused him to lose his grip on the net.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, grabbed the net tightly, and lifted it up with force.
"Holy crap, a demon head sword!"
His face was full of astonishment as he looked at the big fish struggling and thrashing in the net.
The mahi-mahi, scientifically known as Mahi-mahi, is arguably the most beautiful of all marine fish, boasting vibrant colors.
Mahi-mahi: Beauty is a worthless quality to me.
The body is greenish-brown, the abdomen is silvery-white to light gray with a pale yellow tinge, and green spots are scattered on the sides of the body.
However, once the mahi-mahi is taken out of the water, as its life gradually passes, the fish's vibrant colors will quickly fade, eventually leaving only a dull, grayish-white color.
The reason for this is that the mahi-mahi's body color does not come from pigment cells on its body surface, but rather from its scales that can reflect light.
These three-dimensional, interwoven microscales are controlled by the nervous system and can be adjusted according to the body's level of excitement, capturing and reflecting light from different angles, just like tiny prisms.
Therefore, the demon head knife can shimmer with rainbow-like light.
When it dies, its scales become uncontrollable, revealing its original silver-gray body color.
Its body is elongated and laterally compressed, tall at the front and gradually tapering towards the rear.
It has a large head and a narrow back. The head and back of an adult fish are almost square. There is a bony protrusion on the forehead, which becomes more obvious as the fish grows, especially in males.
The fish-face shape is steep and resembles a ghost's head, which is the origin of the common name "ghost head knife".
Mahi-mahi is a very voracious fish that can be easily caught with simple fishing gear, making it extremely popular among sea fishing enthusiasts around the world.
Fishermen usually call it the "shade fish" because it always swims silently in the water or hides quietly under floating objects on the sea surface.
It also has the nickname "underwater fox" because, like a fox on land, it will lie down and play dead when in danger.
To exaggerate a bit, even seasoned and experienced fishermen sometimes find themselves at a loss for words when confronted with this "underwater fox."
For example, right now, after struggling for a while, Ghost Head Knife is playing dead, lying motionless in the net.
This ghost-head knife weighs about twenty pounds. If it keeps struggling, it will really take some effort to pull it up.
But now, it saved Feng Ye a lot of effort, and he pulled her up relatively easily.
"Holy crap, a mace! What kind of luck do you have? You actually managed to catch such a big mace with your net?"
Ah-chan was surprised when he saw it.
"It crawled in by itself."
Feng Ye grabbed the bottom of the net and shook the mackerel out of it, letting it fall onto the pile of sardines.
Perhaps sensing that the fishing net binding it was gone, it stopped pretending to be dead and started jumping around energetically.
"What? There are fish this stupid that they just walk into the net?"
Ah-chan looked incredulous, as if to say, "You're lying to me."
This is just too damn coincidental, isn't it?
They're not small sardines that will crawl into the net on their own.
This is a nearly one-meter-long dagger. How could it possibly have the misfortune of crawling into a net that's only fifty centimeters in diameter?
"Why would I lie to you? The moment I put the net down, it scurried inside. I was caught off guard and almost lost the net."
"Tsk tsk, the world is truly full of wonders. Speaking of which, if you eat such a silly fish, will you become silly too?"
Why don't you give it a try?
"I don't want to become stupid, and it's too big to eat. I'd rather sell it for money."
