Ah Qing shouted, "Old Fu, hurry up, let's get over there quickly."
He excitedly slapped the side of the boat with his hand, making a "bang bang" sound.
Without him saying anything, Old Fu had already taken action, turning the engine up to maximum speed.
The fishing boat had barely started moving when it reached the buoy.
Wu An was about to hook the float.
The float darted into the sea with a whoosh and disappeared instantly; anyone who didn't know better would think it was deliberately dodging.
Everyone looked at the sea with some tension.
At this moment, the wind and waves are calm, with only ripples caused by the float moving the longline.
"Brother, he can't just leave our longline fishing line stranded on the seabed, can he?"
"It shouldn't be that bad."
"Although the buoyancy of the float is not that great, this longline fishing is thousands of meters long, and it is not easy to pull it to the seabed."
Ah Qing was in a hurry and ran to get her diving suit, shouting, "I'm going down to take a look."
Wu An stopped him and said irritably, "Are you crazy? It's one thing if it's normal, but now there's a big fish nearby. If it lashes out at your head with its tail, it could turn you into an idiot."
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
"The float has come up."
Wu An quickly tried to hook it, but his hand slipped and he missed. A Qing, however, managed to catch it.
It was hooked.
He quickly grabbed her.
I tried to pull him up, but I couldn't lift him up no matter what I did.
The giant grouper in the sea seemed to sense something and began to dive back into the water.
The float suddenly sank.
Wu An and the others rushed over to help.
It took several people a lot of effort to pull the buoy back up. As they pulled, they could clearly feel something in the sea struggling against them.
Even with several people working together, they almost couldn't hold him back.
"Holy crap, that was way too strong!" Aqing shouted through gritted teeth, using all her strength.
Mei Wu and he pulled on the hook together, their expressions incredibly ferocious.
The two of them clung tightly to the side of the boat; if it weren't for the brothers Wu An and Wu Ping holding them back, they probably would have been dragged into the sea.
Old Fu also came over.
I stood by and watched, feeling anxious and helpless.
"Don't panic, don't panic."
"It's like fishing; everyone has to work together and not scatter."
Old Fu quickly shouted, "I'll call the chants."
With their efforts, the float was hooked up again, and with a "splashing" sound, the float slowly rose.
"It's hooked!"
Everyone was excited and quickly attached the float to the winch.
Wu An pressed the start button forcefully.
The winch began operation.
It's clear that the winch is struggling to operate, but it's still running quite stably.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Ah Qing rubbed her hands together excitedly.
At this time, the sea was calm and the visibility was very high. They could clearly see a huge dark shadow in the sea from the side of the boat.
But it quickly became unclear.
The longline was shaking violently, creating ripples on the sea surface.
"My God, how big is that?"
"It's definitely bigger than a person."
"That must weigh several hundred kilograms."
"Hooray, hooray, hooray, I've struck it rich! I've struck it rich!" Aqing danced with joy.
Mei Wu was also beaming with excitement: "This is so interesting!"
"This trip was worthwhile, this trip was worthwhile."
"When I get back to the factory, I'll have a lot to brag about."
Wu Ping also clapped his hands and clapped the side of the boat.
Wu An ran to get his phone; how could he not record the moment the giant object emerged from the water?
Old Fu looked at the winch, initially smiling, but gradually his brows furrowed.
Wu An noticed: "Old Fu, what's wrong?"
Old Fu hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid we can't pull it up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the winch, which had been struggling to reel in the heavy load, suddenly sped up considerably.
Then.
What was retrieved was a broken piece of longline fishing.
Everyone was stunned.
I couldn't laugh anymore, and I even felt like crying.
Not only was the longline fishing trip ruined, but a large grouper also escaped!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their hearts were bleeding.
Wu An shut off the winch, and the whole ship fell silent.
“What a pity…” Aqing sighed, and everyone nodded in agreement. Then he continued, “If only I had pulled him up, I would have slapped him twice.”
Mei Wu waved his fist: "I'll give him three punches, like a farmer's three punches, to let him taste whether it's sweet or not."
Wu Ping stroked his stubble and muttered, "The giant grouper was quite clever before, how come it got caught this time? I feel something's fishy."
"Could it be that we caught him with a longline earlier, and he couldn't find any food, so he's coming to get revenge on us?"
Wu An slapped the side of the boat and said, "Damn, that's possible."
"If we catch it later, we'll hang it up and beat it like a punching bag."
Everyone agreed.
Then they all laughed.
The first longline fishing was ruined, so Lao Fu quickly set sail to retrieve the second longline fishing. Fortunately, it was not damaged, and the catch was quite good, with a school of spring fish.
The fish were hanging all over the top, and everyone was happy again.
Put away the second longline fishing setup.
Wu An and Lao Fu found the "wreckage" of the first longline fishing rod. It was tangled up beyond recognition, and many fish were stuck on it. It was quite difficult to remove it.
This longline fishing setup is now useless.
Wu An insisted on salvaging them because, on the one hand, he could still catch some fish; on the other hand, these longline fishing rods, if left unattended in the sea, would be worthless and just pure garbage.
Mei Wu, A Qing, and Wu Ping were cleaning up their catch, while Wu An and Old Fu were struggling with a problem.
Old Fu asked, "Are we still going to cast the hook?"
Wu An nodded: "Go!"
It definitely has to be downloaded.
He still has a little over a hundred luck points left to use, so if he doesn't use longline fishing, he can only fish.
There will be another ebb tide later.
You can go beachcombing and explore the ponds, but judging from today's situation, it's probably difficult to use up all that luck.
Wu An was troubled.
If only we had a trawler, we could definitely use up all that luck points in the next few trawls.
Old Fu looked at the sea: "What if... that giant grouper?"
"Are you saying the giant grouper has its eye on us?" Wu An gritted his teeth: "Run far away."
Although it's unlikely.
But that giant grouper was incredibly clever.
Old Fu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and started the fishing boat.
What he actually wanted to say was...
That's not how you do it at sea.
Who would sail around on the sea in a fishing boat? Only Wu An, the fishing boat owner, is truly unique.
The fuel cost of ten thousand yuan or so will barely be left after a trip at sea.
Thankfully, the harvest is always large.
Otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to withstand such exploitation.
This time, Old Fu chose a different sea area. After driving for almost half an hour, he stopped and Wu An took a look. There were islands on both sides, but they were not very big and looked quite ordinary.
The spot Old Fu chose was in the sea area between two islands.
I glanced at the time; it was exactly 4 p.m.
He started fishing, using only half a longline. He quickly cast the line and tried to increase his luck, but found that he could only increase it by 10 points.
It's better than nothing, I suppose.
If all goes well, it might rain again after dark, but that would be a drop in the ocean.
He still has a full 98 points of luck in his hand!
What to do?
How do I use it?
Wu An scratched his head in a worried expression.
It just goes to show that plans can't keep up with changes.
