Some of the waves that have just been pulled up can still bounce around from time to time.
However, most of them were already lying still.
Even those who are not yet dead are exhaling more than they inhale, and are not far from death.
Feng Ye put the basket aside and reached out to grab the nearest one.
He thought the one that was motionless was dead.
But to his surprise, just as he reached out, the sea wolf suddenly sprang up and opened its mouth to bite him.
If you were bitten squarely by those densely packed, sharp teeth, it would be quite a challenge.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and instinctively pulled his hand back, avoiding being bitten.
"Damn, it can even play dead!"
Feng Ye cursed under his breath, still feeling a bit shaken.
He ran back into the cabin, grabbed a wooden stick, and hit it on the head with it.
"Try playing dead again!"
After being struck hard with the stick, the sea wolf finally quieted down completely and made no further noise.
Feng Ye then felt relieved and picked it up, throwing it into the basket.
To avoid any sea wolves surviving, he would give each one a whack with a stick before attempting to catch it.
The sea wolves that Ah-chan caught with his hand-thrown net varied in size.
Most weigh between eight or nine jin and more than ten jin, with only a few weighing five or six jin, and very few exceeding twenty jin.
The largest one should weigh around 32 or 33 kilograms.
However, all sea wolf taels are priced the same regardless of size, so there's no need to differentiate them.
All the sea bream were put into baskets, dragged into the hold, and neatly arranged next to the cargo that had been hauled up earlier.
Spanish mackerel, sailfish, and great white sharks were also moved into the cabin.
However, there weren't enough baskets big enough to hold the sailfish and great white sharks, so they had to be thrown on the ground.
This unfortunate great white shark wasn't small either, weighing about 130 or 140 pounds, but unfortunately it wasn't worth much.
After finishing these tasks, he returned to the deck.
There's still a huge amount of herring to process.
He figured he'd just give the stuff back to someone to feed their livestock anyway, so he figured he might as well just dump it back into the sea.
However, there were some valuable fish in that net of herring that were hauled up, so we had to search for them first.
Ah-chan stopped before picking them all out.
Under the blazing sun, after a painstaking search, I actually found dozens of kilograms of miscellaneous fish, shrimp, and crabs.
He moved them into the cabin as well, and then carried out a shovel.
"Is everything packed?" Ah-Can asked.
"Alright, all that's left is to dump these herrings back into the sea."
Feng Ye pointed to the herring on the nail plate.
"How much cargo did I bring up?"
"You pulled it up yourself, don't you know that?"
"I was so focused on working hard that I didn't take notes, and all I knew was a lot."
"Those sea bream should weigh eight or nine hundred pounds, the mackerel about thirty pounds, and then there are the sailfish and great white sharks. They'll easily sell for over a thousand pounds."
Upon hearing this, Ah-Can exclaimed with delight, "I pulled up so many? That's a bit unexpected. I've really struck gold today!"
"Hmm, there's also a trawl net. I wonder how much cargo is inside?"
"It's definitely going to be less, I'll stall a little longer."
"It's okay if it takes a little longer; the net has only been down for a little over an hour."
After chatting for a bit, Feng Ye buried himself in his work.
It scooped up herrings one by one with its shovel and threw them back into the sea, causing a scramble among the seabirds in the air.
Suddenly, Ah-Can's exclamation rang in my ears: "Ahhh... Brother Ye... Whale shark... Whale shark..."
Hearing Ah-Can's incoherent voice, Feng Ye looked up and was immediately startled.
Beside the ship, a colossal creature with its mouth agape, revealing thousands of densely packed teeth, was sailing alongside the Rising Sun.
It was the same whale shark from before.
After realizing it was a whale shark, Feng Ye felt much more at ease, but was still a little nervous, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
It was so close, only a meter or two away from the Rising Sun. I have no idea how it appeared so quietly.
Moreover, its wide-open, blood-red mouth looks terrifying and sends chills down your spine.
He had seen whale sharks in his past life, quite a few times, but never at such close range.
He could clearly see the patterns on its body, as well as the small fish clinging to it.
However, this word "small" is only relative to the enormous size of the whale shark.
Actually, these fish are quite large, about 30 to 40 centimeters long.
This thing is called a remora, and its specialty is "hitchhiking".
The remora is also known as the white short remora, sucker fish, sticky boat fish, and boat bottom fish.
The head is flat, gradually becoming cylindrical towards the back. The body length is generally 20 to 45 centimeters, and the maximum does not exceed 90 centimeters.
It gets its name from the oval-shaped suction cup on the back of its head that resembles a stamp.
?fish
Fish are lazy, so lazy that they hardly swim at all.
Instead, they rely on suction cups to attach to other large marine creatures or the bottom of ships to achieve their goal of traveling the world.
When they reach areas rich in food, they will automatically leave to find food, then attach themselves to a new host and continue to migrate to other areas.
It's not that it's really lazy, but rather that it's a poor swimmer.
Seeing these fish, Feng Ye felt an urge to catch them.
This is good stuff, of course it's not for eating.
Instead, it can be used for fishing, taking advantage of its ability to actively seek out and attract large fish.
He hadn't tried it himself, but he'd heard of it.
Some people use remoras to attract larger fish, thereby increasing their fishing efficiency.
Coincidentally, National Day is just around the corner after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he had promised to accompany Qin Aijun and Hao Aiguo on a fishing trip at sea, so he could use that promise.
However, he could only think about it.
Although whale sharks are docile, he wouldn't be so bold as to climb onto a whale shark to catch these fish.
While they were still bewildered, the whale shark suddenly began to flap its pectoral fins incessantly, as if trying to express something.
Feng Ye and A-Can were even more confused.
"What is it doing? Is it saying hello to us?" Ah-chan asked, frowning.
"It should...it should be, right?"
Feng Ye's tone also sounded very uncertain.
Suddenly, the whale shark swam a distance further away, maintaining a certain distance from the Rising Sun, before diving into the water.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, the whale shark reappeared.
It emerged from the bottom of the water and leaped out of the water.
However, its jumping ability is too weak, only about 20 or 30 centimeters off the water.
Even so, it still created a huge splash of water, shooting into the sky like a fountain.
After all, its size is what it is.
Feng Ye and A-Can were dumbfounded.
Large sprays of water fell from above, soaking Feng Ye, who was standing on the deck, from head to toe.
Even the Asahi was swaying precariously in the churning waves.
