The captain was overjoyed and said quickly:
"It's red snapper. This fish is delicious and very tender. Eating it will make children healthy and smart. This fish of yours must weigh 2 pounds. Don't let it get away. The supply and marketing cooperative is buying it at a high price, 0.40 cents per pound. It's very popular."
Gu Xingzhou had already taken the net bag and was waiting by the side to help her scoop up the fish. He knew what she was focusing on, and continued:
"I've had it once, the meat is sweet, and steaming is great, it preserves the sweetness of the fish."
"Is it delicious? Let's go back home tonight and have this one steamed."
Yang Mumu started drooling as she watched the fish. With Gu Xingzhou's cooking skills, she knew it must be so delicious. It would be better to eat it instead of selling it for 3.2 yuan. She had never eaten a sea fish that she caught herself.
Song Yan was more excited than if he had caught a fish himself: "Sister Mu, let me touch the rod and try to fish. I've never caught a fish before."
"Here, let me touch you."
Yang Mumu generously handed the rod to him, and Song Yan only slipped away for a moment, just three seconds, and then the rod returned to Yang Mumu's hand, fearing that the fish would run away.
Even with just this moment, Song Yan was satisfied. The feeling of touching the rod with a fish caught was different. He felt a little happy, and then looked expectantly at the sea, waiting for the fish to take his hook.
But his eyes were still on the fish on Yang Mumu's side. It was the first fish, a good start.
The fish had no strength left to slip away and stopped struggling. Yang Mumu began to exert his strength and reminded it:
"I'm going to exert my strength. Set the boat and get the net ready."
"Okay, we're ready." Gu Xingzhou bent down, held the net bag and stretched out his hand, staring intently at the fish on the hook.
The other people on the boat didn't even look at their fishing rods. They focused their attention on Yang Mumu and prayed silently that the fish would come up.
Yang Mumu lifted the fish up and dragged it slowly towards the boat. When he was about to lift it up, the fish suddenly struggled by slapping the water with its tail. At this moment, the bamboo pole made a cracking sound.
This sound made everyone on the boat's heart beat faster and their hearts rose to their throats.
The captain was anxious: "Hurry, Mumu, the pole is going to break."
The bamboo pole was broken in half at one of the joints at the tip. If the fish moved again, it would fall.
Everyone gasped.
Yang Mumu quickly let go of the rod and slid it down, then grabbed the broken bamboo tip before it broke completely, lifted the fishing line and pulled it forward, and the fish reached the side of the boat.
Gu Xingzhou immediately stretched out the net bag and caught the fish.
Only after seeing the fish being put into the boat in the net bag did everyone start to breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts finally settled.
Song Yan yelled "Hoo!"
The captain touched his forehead and sat down to rest. "Oh my god, it's so scary. I'm sweating."
"You know what, it's quite exciting." Gu Xingzhou smiled and squatted down to help her take the hook out of the fish's mouth.
"It's worth it to exchange a bamboo pole for a big fat fish!" Yang Mumu divided the bait in his hand into four portions and gave them one by one. "It's up to you guys now."
"Wait, I want to catch a big fish too."
Song Yan took the bait, put it on his own hook, and started fishing with high morale.
“I have to catch one, too.”
The captain's fighting spirit also rose. He did not want the bait provided by Yang Mumu and only used his own.
Yang Mumu smiled and took it back, then sat next to Gu Xingzhou to watch him fishing.
With the help of her bait, Gu Xingzhou first caught a spotted fish weighing about three pounds.
This made those who didn't catch any fish very envious.
Song Yan kept calm and continued fishing. After waiting for five minutes, he saw a fish taking a bite from his hook. He clenched his fist excitedly, waiting for the fish to take a bite. When he saw that all the floating heads had been dragged away, he quickly pulled it up.
"Haha, I have fish too."
He caught a long cutlass fish. Its silvery-white color shone particularly brightly under the sunlight after it came out of the water, and was extremely eye-catching. This one weighed about four pounds.
Yang Mumu's eyes lit up, "Braised, this fish is delicious when cut into pieces and braised."
"Haha, then we'll braise it when we get home. It's such a big fish. I'm pretty good at it." Song Yan picked up the fish and showed off proudly, "Captain, look at my fish!"
The captain was envious and said sourly, "It's not that big. I can catch it too."
Then after Uncle Qingshan also caught a fish, Gu Xingzhou caught another fish at the same time. The captain still had nothing to show for it, and he could no longer sit still.
"It must be that the position I'm sitting in is not good. There are no fish. Hey, Xiao Gu, let's go fishing in other places. Let me try your excellent fishing position."
When Yang Mumu heard the captain's stubbornness, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
The other people were also trying to hold back their laughter.
Gu Xingzhou coughed lightly, picked up the fishing rod and stood up, "Okay, Captain, let's switch, you come over to me."
Yang Mumu didn't move, he sat next to the captain to see when he would catch his first fish.
After sitting down, the captain excitedly swung his fishing rod down. He was very much looking forward to this fishing spot and was already thinking about what he would do when he caught a fish.
However, after waiting for five minutes, Gu Xingzhou also caught a red carp at the captain's original position.
The captain was still an air force, but it would have been fine if he hadn't used any air force. But when he saw the other side catching the fish at the same position as before, his defense was completely broken.
"I'm not going to fish anymore. Today's fish only know how to bully an old man like me. Fish only know how to pick on good-looking people to eat the hook."
The captain looked like he had eaten ten lemons. He put down his fishing rod and walked to the stern of the boat and sat down unhappily.
Yang Mumu even added insult to injury by shouting, "Captain, let me try with your fishing rod."
"You can use it."
The captain didn't believe it and sat over to watch Yang Mumu fishing.
Yang Mumu confidently took out a small piece of his bait, pinched it and hung it up, waiting for the fish to eat it.
Within two minutes, Yang Mumu caught a fish with the captain's fishing rod.
team leader:"???"
Even more angry! !
He beat his legs and was angry.
You dead fish, you are here today just to piss him off, why don't you take his hook? You will get nothing! !
"The fish in the sea have also learned to judge people by their appearance. Humph, they are all blind dead fish!!!"
"Hahaha, Xiangdong, don't be angry, I'll give you this fish in my hand, it's yours, haha."
Uncle Qingshan was so mean that he handed the fish he had just caught and the fishing rod to the captain.
The captain was so angry that his mouth was crooked. He pushed the fishing rod to him and said firmly, "No, who wants your fish?"
Yang Mumu was laughing so much that she got a crow's feet at the corner of her eyes. Seeing that the captain was so angry that his hair was standing on end, and seeing that it was getting late and the waves were getting heavier, she stopped teasing the captain, re-baited the fishing rod, threw it into the sea, and called out to the captain.
"Captain, how about you try fishing again? Maybe you can catch something this time."
