Despite being pulled closer to the fishing boat by the crane, this large fish, which had lived for countless years, was unwilling to be caught like this.
"Splash...smack..."
The large fish in the sea struggled desperately, its powerful tail slapping the surface of the water and creating waves more than two meters high.
Waves blurred everyone's vision, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't make out what kind of fish were in the water.
The more you can't see it, the more you yearn to see it clearly and find out what kind of fish this giant creature weighing over 100 pounds is.
At this moment, everyone else on the boat looked at the water with excitement, hoping it was a tuna, or hoping it was a worthless fish.
The fishermen had different expressions; some looked envious, hoping they could catch such a big fish later.
But most people were secretly praying that the fish would break the line and escape.
Watching others catch giant fish weighing over 100 pounds is a hundred times more disheartening for these anglers than if they themselves had caught nothing.
Everyone stared intently at the sea, silently chanting in their hearts: "Unhook! Unhook! Cut the line! Cut the line!"
When the fish was caught, only Sister Yan was happy, but when the fish got away, a whole group of people were overjoyed.
As the giant figure in the sea drew closer to the fishing boat, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but feel nervous, staring intently at the surface of the sea without blinking.
Suddenly, as if startled, the large creatures in the sea leaped out of the water with great force.
Amidst the splashing water, Chen Zhiyao finally saw clearly that it was a yellowfin tuna weighing over 100 pounds.
The others on the boat immediately got excited; it was tuna!
Although it's not as valuable as bluefin tuna, it's still worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Amidst envious glances, the 100-pound tuna was hauled onto the fishing boat by a crane.
The tuna, weighing over 100 pounds, was almost the same size as Chen Zhiyao, and looked quite spectacular.
This fish was caught by Sister Yan. At 1.65 meters tall, she looked quite petite standing in front of this big fish.
Looking at this behemoth, which was over a meter long and nearly two meters long, the fishermen on the boat were all as excited as if they had won the lottery.
Yellowfin tuna usually appear in groups; if you catch one, there might be others nearby.
At this point, everyone forgot about taking pictures and rushed back to their fishing spots with their fishing rods.
Instead of watching others catch fish, why not catch one yourself?
The Chen brothers, beaming with joy, carried the tuna over to be weighed.
"Sister Yan, this yellowfin tuna weighs a full 156 jin (78 catties)."
Chen Feng was so happy he couldn't stop smiling; he looked even happier than Yan Jie, the original owner of this body.
This is the first time this boat has caught a tuna weighing over 100 pounds. With this fish, we won't have to worry about anglers not coming to buy boat tickets to go fishing anymore.
Although Chen Feng doesn't know how to fish, he has one idea after another for making money.
He plans to use today's tuna as a selling point in the future, and bring more people to the South China Sea to fish for tuna.
Once the tuna is caught, it should be bled and gutted as soon as possible, otherwise the quality of the meat will be affected.
Sister Yan only took two photos before hurriedly working with the Chen brothers to bleed the giant tuna.
The fish finder showed that there were no more big fish nearby, only small shrimp.
But these anglers firmly believed that there were definitely more tuna nearby.
Thinking about the 150-pound tuna they had just seen, no one wanted to leave and insisted on staying there.
Several wealthy business owners bought over a dozen boxes of bait and frozen bait from Chen Feng and threw them into the sea as if they were free.
Various baits sank into the water, gradually attracting many fish to come and feed.
The greedy Napoleon wrasse even chased the bait into the deep sea.
Back at her fishing spot, Chen Zhiyao immediately turned on her X-ray glasses.
To her surprise, she discovered that many small fish had come to the bottom of the water, and the surrounding area was filled with densely packed small black shadows.
Moreover, further away, several larger dark figures were approaching this direction.
Chen Zhiyao chuckled and muttered, "It seems that baiting does have some effect after all."
Looking at the little black figures swimming happily in the water, she felt sincerely grateful for the generosity of these bosses.
Seeing that there were no big fish in the water, Chen Zhiyao quickly replaced the large hook on the fishing rod with a small hook and also changed the sinker to a smaller one.
I don't know if it's because I used too much bait to bait the area, and it satiated the fish below.
There were clearly many fish below the surface, but none of them were biting the hook.
Half an hour passed, and Chen Zhiyao's bait remained untouched. Even when she brought the shrimp right to its mouth, the fish wouldn't bite.
"That's strange. There are so many fish, why aren't they biting the hook?"
In the hour or so leading up to dinner, Chen Zhiyao had only caught one silver carp weighing a little over three pounds.
The other fishermen on the boat fared even worse; they didn't catch a single fish.
Everyone was focused on tuna fishing and was extremely enthusiastic. They would even squat on the deck while eating, holding their boxed lunches and staring intently at the sea.
The fishing was good today, and Chen Daqiang and his son Chen Hu caught several valuable big fish.
Today's food is mostly valuable stuff; dinner consisted of a stingray weighing over 10 kilograms, contributed by Chen Daqiang.
Shen Qingmei and Chen Feng, a young couple, made a big pot of braised stingray, which received unanimous praise from everyone.
While eating, Chen Zhiyao secretly checked the duration of the X-ray glasses in the system.
She spent the whole day fishing, and the two X-ray glasses took up a lot of her time.
We only have two hours left for fishing, and only one hour left for beachcombing.
That night, she dared not use the X-ray glasses again, planning to wait until the fish finder detected a large fish before using them.
After dinner, Chen Zhiyao took out a squid fishing rod, intending to catch some squid to use as bait the next day.
The fishing was good today; I encountered two schools of fish in a row. I used up almost all the shrimp I brought from home and the squid I caught yesterday.
If we don't find more fishing spots soon, we won't have any bait to use for fishing tomorrow.
Squid will automatically swim towards a light source, requiring almost no effort.
Chen Zhiyao caught these little guys one after another and became addicted to squid fishing.
She spent almost the entire night fishing for squid, catching three large buckets of them.
He even helped his own father and grandfather catch the fishing bait together.
She silently calculated in her mind that the three large buckets of squid weighed a total of 100 jin (50 catties).
If you take it to a purchasing station, you can sell it for at least 20 yuan per kilogram, which adds up to more than 2,000 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up. "Wow, it seems that squid fishing is quite profitable, no less so than fishing or beachcombing."
She's only been fishing for squid here for three hours, and the hourly wage is quite high.
Chen Zhiyao thought to herself with delight that it would be nice to go squid fishing at the pier at night in the future.
