"What a pity, they've all sunk to the bottom, there's no way to catch them now."
"Forget it, forget it, stop complaining. It's already pretty good that we caught these."
Feng Ye was also quite disappointed, but the thought of the trawling net ahead filled him with hope.
Small manta rays float on the surface of the water and are only suitable for catching with hand-thrown nets; bottom trawls are ineffective.
But now that they've sunk to the bottom of the water, and happen to be in the direction the Dong Sheng is heading, that's the perfect opportunity for the trawlers to show their skills.
Compared to hand-thrown nets, trawl nets have a wider coverage area and higher capture efficiency.
He even had a greedy thought: maybe he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
"They can't escape, the trawl net is still behind them."
Upon hearing Feng Ye's reminder, everyone perked up and no longer felt it was a pity, excitedly pulling the net back in.
"Holy crap, it's too heavy, I can't pull it up!"
Ah-chan exerted all his strength, his biceps bulging and his face turning red, but he still couldn't pull the hand-thrown net onto the boat.
Feng Ye also noticed this problem; his net was incredibly heavy, feeling like it weighed at least two hundred kilograms.
Previously, the buoyancy of the seawater allowed them to pull the net to the side of the boat, but they couldn't pull it out of the water using only their arm strength.
"Crane, use the crane."
He quickly tied the net rope to the side of the boat, then ran to pull over the hook, hung the net rope on the hook, and then ran to start the crane.
As the crane roared, the heavy fishing net was slowly hoisted up.
As the fishing net leaves the water, the little manta rays inside struggle desperately, splashing water everywhere, trying to escape the cage that confines them.
