Fu Yongning kept busy, wielding his knife with swift movements.
Tuna are the kind of fish that will kill themselves if you don't let them swim.
Therefore, if they die as soon as they come ashore, and if they are not treated to remove the lactic acid in time, the lactic acid will affect the taste of the tuna, and it will not fetch a good price.
The tuna that was pulled up was not just one kind.
It has big eyes and yellow fins.
After he finished processing them, he had to sort and put them away. Luckily, the ones he pulled up were all around 100 pounds each, and none were bigger, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle them all by himself. Even so, he was exhausted.
Old Fu was in charge of the boat, and everyone else was frantically pulling in tuna. They couldn't find anyone to help them.
Ah Qing also pulled up a golden spear and was overjoyed: "Brother, your method is great, you can pull it up with one pull, hehe, this golden spear can sell for a lot of money."
Wu An glanced at it and saw that what he pulled up was a big eye.
The price can reach 100 yuan per kilogram, depending on the market conditions. If you're lucky, one of these can sell for five figures.
Finding a valuable big fish is a huge win!
But this kind of thing is all about luck. If it weren't for the chance encounter with the golden lance hunting flying fish, and the fact that he happened to buff the fishing boat with luck, keeping the flying fish swarm around the boat, he wouldn't be having this good fortune of pulling out golden lances like this.
Fan Dali said, "It would be great if we had a casting net."
Tuna are currently feeding aggressively, so as long as you cast your net, you're guaranteed a catch.
Mei Wu shook his head and said, "Throwing a net won't work. If the golden spear gets caught in the net, it will rush into the sea, and it will be difficult to pull it up."
"It's nothing like now, where we can easily pull it up by taking advantage of the tuna's momentum."
"Moreover, if the golden tuna brought up is of good quality, it can definitely be sold for a high price."
Wu An nodded.
He also pulled up a big-eyed tuna. Once the tuna stopped struggling, he unhooked it. He suddenly remembered that the hooks on the "one-fish" fishing rods were special; the hook would automatically detach after the fish was pulled up.
The fishing method they are using now is actually similar to "one-stroke fishing".
In his previous life, he had seen videos showing how, after reaching the target sea area, a small amount of sardine bait was scattered into the sea to attract bonito and tuna schools, drawing them near the boat. Then, water was pumped to create the illusion of "sardines gathering together" and the seawater "boiling," causing the tuna to become unusually excited and try to compete for the food.
Then it's very simple: the anglers quickly cast their hooks into the sea, and once a tuna bites, they quickly pull the fish up and use the momentum to throw it onto the deck behind them.
The video shows an artificially created environment, while what they have now is a naturally formed environment where tuna compete for food.
After pulling a few up, Wu An still felt a bit tired, even though he had used a clever trick.
Mainly the waist.
Fortunately, they were all young and had decent back strength. If it were Old Fu, he would probably be exhausted. No wonder Old Fu was so willing to switch boats with him; he probably realized this too.
Wu An rubbed his lower back and felt alright.
Fortunately, after the trawler returned home, he slept at home every day and didn't spend time with Gu Anran, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist.
He found a very large flying fish, entirely blue, unlike other flying fish. He suddenly remembered an interesting story that a video blogger had told him before.
It is said that in each group of flying fish, there will be a "Flying Fish King" leading the way. If you are lucky, you will catch the Flying Fish King, and the other flying fish will follow the Flying Fish King into the boat.
However, if you stop before you've made your move, the fishing boat may sink because there are too many flying fish coming up and they can't keep up with the pressure.
Wu An probably enjoys watching similar videos because he grew up by the sea. He feels a sense of familiarity when listening to the blogger talk about it. People in his area believe that if they can catch the Flying Fish King, good luck will follow them throughout the year.
It's a good omen.
Wu An smiled and said, "You're the one. The golden spears we've pulled up aren't very big. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the Flying Fish King's omen to see if I can catch a big golden spear."
The bait was laid and the sea was entered.
The pole suddenly sank shortly after it was lowered.
Wu An instinctively tried to lift it up, but instead failed and was pulled so hard that he stumbled and bumped into the side of the boat.
That hurt so much.
But ignoring his grimaces, with the fishing line shooting wildly outwards, he quickly called out to Fu Yongning, "Brother, come help!"
Fu Yongning ran over.
"Can't pull it up?"
"Holy crap, that's incredible?"
"It must be a huge golden lance weighing several hundred pounds!"
He helped lock the unloading mechanism and then pulled it to secure it to the frame.
With a pole and an electric reel, as long as the load is within limits, the fish won't get away.
After all, this is fishing gear with cheat codes.
If the fish gets away.
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the system?
The fish in the sea seemed to realize that they couldn't struggle anymore, so they stopped diving back to the bottom and instead suddenly rushed out of the water to try to wash their gills.
It's not far away.
It's clearly a big golden gun.
Fu Yongning was somewhat excited: "What a huge golden spear!"
Wu An nodded.
Fortunately, Uncle Li welded the pole to the boat immediately; otherwise, he might not have been able to pull up such a large golden spear.
As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
soon.
The golden spear was slowly pulled to the side of the boat.
"Holy crap, it's a Bluefin!"
Fu Yongning leaned over the side of the boat and shouted excitedly. It was a huge bluefin tuna, as big as a small submarine.
Wu An examined it carefully and thought to himself that it was indeed the "leader" of the tuna, and it was something special.
The two of them worked together to get the bluefin tuna up. Wu An lay down; the tuna was even longer than him, reaching two meters in length. Fu Yongning quickly took up a knife to process it.
While working, he said, "I estimate it weighs about four or five hundred jin."
"That's a huge guy."
"Ah An, you're really lucky."
Wu An smiled. He vaguely remembered that bluefin tuna had become a protected animal in the future, but he didn't have a deep impression of it. Mainly, he didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with it, let alone eat it.
Why?
Because it's expensive.
In his previous life, he didn't do very well. He rarely ate bluefin tuna, let alone salmon.
Mei Wu and his team were greatly encouraged.
"They even have bluefin tuna."
"Let's put in a bit more effort and pull Bluefin up too."
"come on."
Aqing ran over, grabbed Wu An's hand, and rubbed it against her face. Wu An glared at her and asked, "What's going on?"
Ah Qing chuckled and said, "I'll try my luck with your hand."
Wu An lifted his foot: "No luck with your hands, want to rub your athlete's foot?"
Aqing ran away.
Mei Wu walked over.
The Fan brothers also looked over.
Helpless, Wu An also helped them max out the luck value of their fishing rods again.
Aqing asked curiously, "Such a big bluefin tuna must fetch an astronomical price, right?"
Fu Yongning nodded: "Definitely."
"However, when it comes to tuna, it's not just about size, but also about how fat it is."
“The one that came up from A'anla is big and fat; it can be sent to auction.”
