Chapter 371 Tuna Takes the Hook



The frozen bait that Qin Aijun brought out was actually herring, which Feng Ye hadn't expected.

He was quite curious and asked how much it cost.

What he knew was that herring was basically unwanted in the country at the moment.

Of course, it's also possible that he's just ignorant.

In the end, it turned out that he didn't spend any money at all; Qin Aijun got it from his friend.

His friend owns a fishing company that engages not only in deep-sea fishing but also in marine fish farming.

These herrings are used as feed for farmed marine fish.

Now, it's used to bait fish and attract tuna to feed, and the effect is excellent.

Fermented herring has a foul odor, but it doesn't actually smell bad; it's just an extremely fishy-smelling sea fish.

Their strong, fishy smell can quickly attract surrounding marine life, especially fish with a keen sense of smell.

Feng Ye scattered the herrings evenly around the yacht, hoping they would attract an underwater feast.

The ice on the surface of the herring slowly melts in the seawater, releasing an enticing aroma.

The surrounding small fish and shrimp were attracted and gathered together, seemingly warming up for the upcoming feast.

The three stood on the deck, their eyes fixed on the sea, feeling both excited and nervous.

The act of throwing herring into the sea, of course, could not be stopped.

Each of the three of them had a box of herring in front of them, and they would occasionally throw some into the sea.

You have to be willing to spend a lot of money to fish for tuna.

Although these herrings are free.

But if this were in later generations, it would cost a lot of money.

There are indeed tuna in this area, and quite a lot of them; it's a small school of fish.

Just then, a herring floated in the seawater and landed right next to a tuna's mouth.

Food offered to you is free food, so why not eat it? But even if you do, it's a waste of your time.

The tuna suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed the herring whole.

After finishing its meal, it was just about to flick its tail and go looking for more food when it saw more food falling, accompanied by a strong and very tempting aroma.

It immediately flicked its tail, swam over, and caught them one by one.

And so it came to the vicinity of the yacht and spotted the squid swimming around at a glance.

That's one of its favorite foods.

Without a second thought, it opened its mouth and charged forward.

With its intelligence, it was completely unaware that it was a deadly trap.

In the blink of an eye, it suddenly accelerated, like a bolt of lightning, and rushed to the squid, swallowing it whole.

However, it was too early to be happy.

Instantly, a sharp pain shot through my throat.

It paused abruptly, not understanding what was happening, but that didn't stop it from struggling violently.

On the yacht.

One of Hao Aiguo's rods suddenly bent into an arc shape, with the tip almost completely submerged in the water.

He immediately noticed something was wrong, quickly threw away the herring he had just picked up, and pounced on it.

I took the fishing rod off the stand and inserted it into the pre-made belly-top.

Then, the arduous tug-of-war began.

Having learned from his experience of going out to sea during the Dragon Boat Festival, he now handles fish with considerable skill.

"How come you're the first one to catch a fish again?"

Qin Aijun said with a hint of bitterness, but his eyes were full of envy.

He also wanted to catch a big fish and experience the feeling of being pulled to the limit.

Hao Aiguo didn't have time to answer; all his attention was focused on playing with the fish.

He stared intently at the taut fishing line, feeling the struggling force emanating from the seabed.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."

Feng Ye was also extremely envious.

But luck is something that can't be explained or defined.

If the fish don't bite, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

Is it tuna?

"Judging from its appearance, it should be, and it's quite large."

As Feng Ye spoke, he continued to throw in the herring.

Tuna like to swim in groups; if one tuna appears, another will follow...

"Mr. Qin, don't stop! Keep throwing in the frozen bait. There must be a school of tuna nearby. We need to keep them here."

"Uh, oh..."

Qin Aijun suddenly realized what was happening.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Attracted, Xiao Chen quickly snapped out of his daze, grabbed the herring from the box, and threw it out.

"You don't need to do this. Go and keep an eye on things with County Chief Hao and give him a hand."

Qin Aijun waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

"Oh well."

Xiao Chen responded and ran to Hao Aiguo's side.

"Xiao Chen, put away County Chief Hao's other fishing rods to prevent them from getting tangled and breaking the lines."

Feng Ye reminded him.

Although he was doing his own thing, he would occasionally glance at Hao Aiguo's situation.

He was prepared to step in and take over if Hao Aiguo couldn't handle it.

However, he immediately lost his attention because one of his two fishing rods started to move.

With quick reflexes, he swiftly removed the fishing rod and tucked it into the top of his waist.

Immediately, he turned the reel to tighten the fishing line.

Feeling the strong vibration and pulling force from the fishing rod, he was 80-90% sure that the fish that had taken the bait was a tuna, and a rather large one at that.

"Damn it, I haven't caught a fish yet."

Qin Aijun said with great frustration, "You two always open for business first, and I'm the last one. It's not fair."

Neither of them had time to reply; they were both focused on battling the fish that had taken the bait.

The two fishing rods rose and fell, like dancing silver dragons, drawing elegant arcs on the azure sea.

Every taut fishing line signifies the intense battle raging on the seabed.

Although Qin Aijun complained repeatedly, his hands never stopped moving.

They kept throwing herrings into the sea, trying to attract bigger fish to bite with more bait.

On Hao Aiguo's side, the battle with the tuna has entered a fierce stage.

He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, his muscles tense, engaging in a silent battle with the tuna underwater.

The tuna's strength was beyond imagination; every struggle made Hao Aiguo's arms ache.

But he could only grit his teeth and persevere, refusing to slacken in the slightest.

If you want to catch a big fish, hard work is inevitable.

The sun gradually disappeared in the western sky, and the sky gradually darkened, marking the transition between day and night.

As the saying goes, a person prospers once, declines twice, and is exhausted a third time.

After a considerable and intense struggle.

With his tenacious perseverance and not-so-skilled fishing, Hao Aiguo finally managed to play the tuna and pull it out of the water.

"Bluefin, it's a bluefin tuna!"

Xiao Chen shouted excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had caught the fish himself.

He gripped the harpoon tightly in his hand, ready to fire at any moment.

"Bluefin? That's great."

Hao Aiguo was still catching his breath, but his face was filled with indescribable joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Tuna all look pretty much the same, with little difference between them, and it's really not easy to tell them apart if you don't look closely.
