Even though he didn't catch it himself, Feng Ye was still quite excited, and his heart started racing.
"Stay calm, don't rush, take it slow."
Qin Aijun stared intently at the water, his breathing becoming rapid with tension: "I think I see the fish are golden."
"That's right, it's yellow."
Hao Aiguo affirmed, his voice filled with excitement.
Seeing their expressions, Cai Guoqiang roughly understood, but still asked, "Is this fish very expensive?"
Zhongcheng and Yang Wei, who were standing nearby, were also intrigued. While keeping their eyes on the water, they also pricked up their ears, hoping for the answer and the appearance of the big fish.
Whether it's expensive or not, we'll only know once we catch it.
Hao Aiguo swallowed hard and added, "However, if our guess is correct, it is indeed very expensive."
Qin Aijun said, "Boss Cai, let's not worry about the price for now, let's catch them first."
Feng Ye also said, "Yes, concentrate, don't get distracted, keep up the pace, walk it slowly, and it will be easier to deal with when it runs out of energy."
Cai Guoqiang was so nervous that sweat beaded on his forehead. He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, not daring to relax for a moment, and carefully adjusted the force.
The fish struggled incessantly underwater, the fishing line was stretched taut, and the fishing rod was pulled into a bow shape.
Finally, the water rippled again, and the golden figure reappeared, the fish's body gradually emerging from the water.
The water shimmered, and the golden fish scales sparkled in the sunlight.
"My God!"
Qin Aijun exclaimed in surprise.
Hao Aiguo's eyes widened, and he excitedly waved his arms and legs: "My God, how can it be so big?"
Feng Ye was also stunned, staring at the fish in disbelief.
He had thought it would be a large yellow croaker, but when he actually saw such a big yellow croaker, his heart still pounded wildly.
For experienced fishermen, they can roughly estimate the size and weight of a fish just by looking at it.
He estimated that the large yellow croaker weighed at least 30 kilograms.
He had never seen a yellow croaker of such a size in his two lifetimes; he had only heard of it in legends.
Before his rebirth, he happened to see a report about a giant yellow croaker. A fisherman in Fujian Province had caught a 68-jin (34 catties) yellow croaker, which was sold for 2 million yuan.
The 30-pound yellow croaker in front of us, though much smaller, is still quite valuable.
Based on the current market conditions, it should sell for nearly 10,000 yuan without any problem.
This voyage is special, so Qin Aijun's offer will likely be at least double.
"Is this the newbie aura?"
Feng Ye muttered to himself.
He was even a little jealous of Cai Guoqiang's good luck.
Boatman Xiao Chen was on high alert. Once the large yellow croaker was pulled to the side of the yacht, he extended the landing net towards the fish's head and quickly and accurately caught it.
Seeing that Cai Guoqiang seemed to be relaxing a bit, Feng Ye hurriedly reminded him, "Mr. Cai, don't loosen the line yet, keep it taut."
This yellow croaker is huge, over a meter long. Its head went into the net, but most of its body was still outside.
He was worried that when he pulled the net up, the large yellow croaker would suddenly exert its strength and break free.
Although Cai Guoqiang didn't recognize the fish, he knew it must be something special, so he worked with the boatman Xiao Chen to slowly tighten the fishing line.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw the fish being pulled onto the boat and jumping around on the deck.
Qin Aijun gestured with his hand to indicate the length of the large yellow croaker, and exclaimed again, "My God, this is fucking huge! I can't believe my eyes! How lucky do you have to be to catch such a treasure!"
Cai Guoqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile spreading across his face, and asked, "What kind of fish is this? Is it a very rare fish?"
"A large yellow croaker, a gold bar of the sea!"
Qin Aijun excitedly explained, "This is a rare item, priceless!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Cai Guoqiang's eyes: "So this is the large yellow croaker! I've eaten it before, but I've never really paid attention to what it looks like."
"I heard that large yellow croaker is very expensive, just how expensive is it?"
Zhong Cheng asked curiously, "Could this one sell for over a thousand yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
If it weren't for his status, I would have really wanted to tell him: "You think you can buy such a big yellow croaker for 1,000 yuan? You're dreaming!"
However, you can't blame them for being petty.
These days, unless you're an expert, you really don't know much about large yellow croaker.
Decades later, even those who don't live by the sea have almost heard of the ridiculously high price of large yellow croaker.
"The bigger the yellow croaker, the higher the price; a pound or two can sell for a hundred or two hundred yuan per pound. And this one..."
Qin Aijun picked up the fish and weighed it in his hand. "It's about 30 jin (15 catties), and the price will only be higher."
He glanced at Hao Aiguo, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'll offer 25,000 to take it."
"Is this fish really that expensive? It can actually sell for over 800 yuan per jin (500 grams)?"
"My God, this is too expensive! Is this eating fish or eating money?!"
Zhong Cheng and Yang Wei exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This price defied their expectations.
Cai Guoqiang hadn't expected the fish to be so valuable, and his smile grew even brighter. However, he said, "President Qin, please don't try to give me a high price just because of my status. Just give me whatever the market price is."
Qin Aijun smiled and said, "I won't do business at a loss. Since you dare to set this price, it means the fish is worth the money, and I can still make a profit."
Feng Ye was initially surprised by the price Qin Aijun quoted, which was much higher than he had expected.
But looking back now, it wasn't too outrageous.
Qin Aijun definitely has the resources to sell this large yellow croaker.
For wealthy people, tens of thousands of yuan is nothing; what they're buying is the rarity and the prestige.
"Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll sell it to you at the price you asked for."
Cai Guoqiang nodded and said, "I've always heard Xiao Hao say that sea fishing is a lot of fun, and he encouraged me to go sea fishing. I never expected that my first time sea fishing would make me so much money. It seems that I should go fishing more often in the future to earn some money to spend."
Everyone burst into laughter.
A hint of pride flashed in Hao Aiguo's eyes: "Sea fishing not only relaxes you, but it's also full of surprises and uncertainties, with unexpected catches every now and then."
"Yes, that's the charm of sea fishing."
Qin Aijun said with a smile, "If Boss Cai wants to go to sea in the future, just have someone give a heads-up, and I'll make the arrangements immediately."
"Keep going, keep going, I want to catch a big one too."
"Yes, ribbonfish aren't very interesting. If you're going to fish, catch the big, valuable ones..."
