They continued fishing, and the fishing was going well, with fish coming in one after another. The two of them were very busy and happy.
As dawn approached, the others woke up and picked up their fishing rods.
Unfortunately, around 7 o'clock, a group of barracudas came and disturbed the fishing spot, and sharks also came over, so it was impossible to fish.
The group had no choice but to pack up their fishing rods and move to a different spot.
Stopping and starting, fishing at one spot and catching one or two waves of fish, three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
It was the fifth day since we set sail.
At five o'clock that afternoon, the yacht arrived at a new fishing spot.
Everyone prepared their fishing rods, bait, and other equipment, and then cast their lines again.
A short while later, Feng Ye felt the fishing rod move.
He shouted excitedly, "A fish has taken the bait!"
As soon as I picked up the fishing rod, I immediately felt a strong pulling force.
It's definitely a big fish.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind: "Could there be tuna nearby?"
However, after only a short while of sawing, he determined that it was not tuna.
The reason is simple: this fish doesn't have the explosive power of a tuna.
Based on his experience, the fish wasn't particularly large, probably less than 100 pounds.
As for what kind of fish it was, he couldn't guess; he would have to wait until it was out of the water and he saw the fish to be sure.
Just as he was struggling with the fish, Yang Wei, who was fishing at the spot next to him, shouted loudly, "I've caught a fish too!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this side of the yacht.
Yang Wei's fishing rod was bent from the strain, the fishing line was taut, and the fish was struggling in the water.
"This fish is quite strong; it doesn't feel any smaller than the one Xiao Feng caught."
Cai Guoqiang said from the side.
Qin Aijun also said, "It seems we chose a good fishing spot today. Two big fish bit the hook as soon as we cast our lines."
Feng Ye was still locked in a stalemate with the fish, which would occasionally yank hard, making a buzzing sound as it pulled the fishing line.
He was completely focused, not daring to relax in the slightest, and slowly reeled in the thread with alternating hands.
Yang Wei was also having a tough time. His face flushed red, he gripped the fishing rod tightly, and leaned back, trying to steady himself.
Qin Aijun reminded them, "Be careful, you're standing so close together, don't let the lines get tangled."
It would have been better if he hadn't brought it up, because once he did, Feng Ye really started to worry.
They were on the same side, but Yang Wei's fish-playing skills were still lacking, and he couldn't completely control the direction of the fish's struggling movements.
If the fish suddenly darts around, it can easily get tangled in your fishing line.
Thinking of this, he quickly called out to Qin Aijun, "President Qin, please help him!"
"Uh... okay."
Qin Aijun quickly stepped forward and took the fishing rod from Yang Wei.
His technique was much better; he quickly stabilized the situation, widened the distance between the two fish, and eliminated the risk of tangling.
Before long, Feng Ye was the first to flip the fish over and bring it to the surface.
The onlookers exclaimed in unison, "What a huge, strange fish!"
Hao Aiguo still remembered the golden wrasse he caught a few days ago, and added, "Why is it this kind of weird fish again?"
Qin Aijun also turned his head and glanced at it, asking curiously, "Xiao Feng, what kind of fish is this?"
"The horned-nosed fish is a relatively rare type of fish."
As Feng Ye answered, he continued to reel in the fish, pulling it to the side of the boat so that Xiao Chen could help him scoop it up.
This fish is elongated oval in shape, relatively flat on the sides, and white in color.
Horned Nose Fish
It is called a strange fish because it has a long nose on its head that is slightly upturned and forms a 60° angle with its snout.
All fish actually have noses, but the noses of most fish are very small, so small that they are almost invisible.
Fish do not use their noses for breathing like other animals do; instead, they are olfactory organs used to find food or distinguish water quality.
The nose of the horned-nosed fish is unusually prominent and very eye-catching.
However, this long nose is not related to the sense of smell, and its specific function is unknown. It may be related to species recognition or sexual selection.
In addition, this feature is only present in adult fish; small horned-nosed fish do not have such a long nose.
As the horned-nosed fish grows, a long, blunt, rounded horn-shaped protrusion gradually protrudes from the forehead in front of its eyes, and its length increases significantly with age.
This is a relatively docile and timid fish that mainly feeds on zooplankton.
However, in the marine food chain of "big fish eat little fish," there must be ways to adapt and survive.
The horned-nosed fish has two sharp spines on each side of its tail, which it uses to swing its tail to attack enemies when threatened.
These two spikes can cause serious damage to any attacker.
The horned-nosed fish is also a fish with great economic value, possessing both edible and ornamental value.
As an edible fish, it is a delicious seafood, but be careful of its two sharp spines, as people can easily get injured if pricked.
Because of its distinctive "long nose," it is easily mistaken for a pinocchio and is highly valued for its appearance in aquariums.
Feng Ye was also somewhat surprised when he saw the fish.
Unlike others who thought it was strange, it was simply too big.
This horned-nosed fish is quite long, about 1.5 meters, and weighs approximately 80 kilograms.
According to the information he learned in his previous life, the largest horned-nosed fish can only grow to a little over one meter.
However, the ocean itself is full of unknowns, and human knowledge is limited. Some fish are able to defy convention and grow even larger.
This horned-nosed fish may be an exception, its unique environment allowing it to grow to such a huge size.
After the fish was pulled onto the boat, everyone gathered around to examine the horned-nosed fish closely.
It thrashed about on the deck, its tail slapping loudly.
Seeing Hao Aiguo reach out to touch it, Feng Ye quickly reminded him, "Be careful, don't get hurt by the thorns on its tail."
"I'm not touching its tail, so it's okay to just touch its long nose, right?"
Hao Aiguo smiled and said, still carefully avoiding the tail, and touched the fish's long nose: "This nose feels quite firm."
"It's not a real nose, but a protruding bone, part of the skull. It would be strange if it weren't hard."
"Is this fish tasty? Is it expensive?"
These two issues were not only of concern to Hao Aiguo, but also to the others.
Every time I catch a fish I don't recognize, I have to ask it.
However, Feng Ye couldn't answer that either, as he had neither eaten nor sold it.
Fortunately, at this moment, the fish that Yang Wei had caught gradually lost its strength under Qin Aijun's handling and slowly floated to the surface, attracting everyone's attention.
Feng Ye also peeked out and saw that it was a large croaker, weighing about 60 or 70 pounds.
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
The difference in the time it took to catch a fish was only a short while, so why is there such a big difference?
The horned bream I caught myself was larger, but in terms of value, it was much less.
