After Ah-chan lowered the trawl net, he took out all three hand-throw nets and placed them aside.
He quickly prepared the hand-thrown net in his hand and threw it out.
Immediately, some seabirds were startled and flapped their wings to fly away.
Some seabirds, in their panic, collided with other seabirds and fell into the sea together;
Some seabirds, unable to dodge in time, were caught in the hand-thrown nets and sank to the bottom of the water.
Without a long wait, Ah-Can quickly closed the net.
He tested the weight and estimated it to be around 100 pounds, so he didn't use a crane and just used brute force to lift it up.
While cranes can save effort, they are cumbersome for one person to operate and are far less convenient and faster than pulling by hand.
After all, this crane is not mechanically powered; it simply uses a pulley system to save effort.
Unless it is extremely heavy and cannot be lifted by manpower alone, a crane will not be considered.
After struggling to pull the net onto the deck, Ah-Can couldn't contain his joy when he saw the sea bream struggling inside.
"Brother Ye, there are so many sea wolves! I caught more than ten in this net, the smaller ones weigh six or seven pounds, and the larger ones weigh more than ten pounds."
Hearing A-Can's loud shouts, Feng Ye smiled with satisfaction.
He cautioned, "Be careful, and make sure you don't get bitten."
Sea wolves are fierce and extremely aggressive, with a mouthful of sharp teeth, making them look very ferocious.
They've just been out of the sea and are still very energetic. If you accidentally get bitten, it's no joke; your finger could be bitten off.
“I will be careful, and I also wore gloves.”
Ah-chan nodded.
He was also aware of the ferocity of the sea wolves.
Moreover, he was still a bit traumatized after being bitten by a red snapper last time.
He didn't want to go through that pain again, so he had already put on gloves.
He wasn't in a hurry to untangle the fish. He threw down the hand-thrown net, quickly picked up another one, arranged it properly, and threw it out.
The second net was also good, catching quite a few more sea bream. Although there were fewer of them, the weight was just as good.
The animals in this net were generally larger, with two weighing over 20 kilograms each.
Then a third net was thrown out.
Only after the third net was pulled up did he carefully begin to untangle it and pour out the catch.
This net was pretty good; it caught quite a few barracuda and a lot of herring as well.
As soon as the sea wolves realized that their restraints had been removed, they kept leaping and thrashing about, trying to jump back into the sea.
Ah-chan didn't have time to deal with them, letting them hop around freely on the deck.
Anyway, he was wearing rain boots, so the sea wolves couldn't possibly bite through them.
He had to hurry up and untangle the other two nets before continuing to cast them.
Such a great opportunity to make money, not a single moment can be wasted.
Feng Ye couldn't help but feel happy as he looked at the sea wolves scattered on the deck from the wheelhouse.
However, before they could rejoice for long, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
On the distant sea, a dorsal fin, like a sail, sliced through the surface and sped by like lightning.
The marlin has arrived!
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing?
Ah-chan had just untied three nets and was preparing to throw one of them when he saw this scene.
He paused for a moment, then turned and shouted, "Brother Ye, be careful, the sailfish are being attracted here."
“I saw it.”
Feng Ye calmly replied, "Be careful when casting the net, don't catch it."
Sailfish are not scary as long as you don't provoke them.
Consider the fate of Lan Xin'an, who is already dead; this is the consequence of angering the sailfish.
"I will be careful."
Ah-chan responded and cast the hand net.
The sailfish was very fast, and in the blink of an eye it rushed into the herring school, piercing through the giant cocoon formed by the herring.
"This sailfish is too fierce; it's thrown the herring school into chaos."
Watching the sailfish rampaging through the herring school, Ah-chan felt both anxious and helpless.
Once the herring swarm disperses, the barracudas will also scatter, making them harder to catch.
Feng Ye sat in the driver's seat, his brow furrowed, at a loss for what to do.
The sailfish were not something their tin boat could handle.
Even if you manage to catch it with a trawl net, it might break free, and you'll have to use another trawl net.
They could only watch helplessly.
If you can't manage it, then don't manage it; casting a wide net is the right way.
Ah-chan stopped paying too much attention to the sailfish's movements and continued to focus on casting his net.
He only checks where the sailfish is before casting the net, to avoid accidentally trapping it and causing it to go berserk.
But no matter how careful you are, there will always be times when you stumble.
Moreover, the sailfish isn't always on the surface; sometimes it dives underwater and disappears from view.
As Ah-chan cast the net out again and waited to retrieve it, he suddenly felt a tremendous force being transmitted to him.
Caught off guard, Ah-chan was pulled so hard he stumbled and almost fell onto the deck.
He quickly steadied himself, braced his feet against the gunwale, and gripped the rope of the hand-thrown net tightly.
At the same time, a bad thought suddenly popped into my head.
He exclaimed, "Oh no! I might have caught that sailfish in my net?"
"What?" Feng Ye's expression changed drastically. "We don't want this net anymore. Let go and throw it away!"
“I couldn’t throw it away, so I tied a safety rope to my hand.”
"Grass!"
Feng Ye immediately rushed out of the driver's seat, ran to A-Can's side, and reached out to help.
Upon first touch, I felt a heavy force, but it was still manageable and I could hold on.
Even with their combined efforts, the two of them could only retrieve a portion of the hand-thrown net.
Ah-chan quickly took the opportunity to untie the rope.
With one less person's strength, Feng Ye's burden immediately increased.
He gritted his teeth, his hands were bulging with veins, and he used every ounce of strength he had to barely manage to stabilize the situation.
Just then, the large fish caught in the net suddenly struggled, and an even stronger force was transmitted up to it.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still almost dragged into the sea.
