Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 534 Red Spotted Grouper

After releasing Hong Gu, Boss Fu picked up a few more floats, then turned around and asked Fu Wan.

"Awan, what time is it?"

Fu Wan took off her gloves and took out her watch from her pocket.

"It's past twelve."

"I guess I can drag two more nets."

Boss Fu nodded in agreement. "Then quickly retrieve the remaining extended lines and try to drag two more nets so we can get back to the dock as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin also quickened the pace of his men to fish out the float.

They were divided into three groups: Fu Shi and Ye Lin in one group, Fang Min and Ye Xiaocui in one group, and then there was Fu Lao Da and Fu Wan, father and daughter.

Today's extended fishing had yielded a good catch. Although Fang Min was a novice, catching fish required no special skill. Furthermore, she was even quicker than Boss Fu and the others. In between catching the float, she even helped pull the line.

"Huo, this sea bass of mine is quite big!"

Ye Lin muttered something, and Fu Wan looked at it. It was indeed not small, about three pounds!

"Our yellowfin snapper isn't bad either!"

Ye Xiaocui said with a smile, and her men neatly untied the fish and threw it into the live water tank.

The fish caught were not injured and could be sold alive at a higher price when brought back to shore.

Seeing that others had caught a lot, Boss Fu was even happier. Fu Wan suddenly pulled the fishing line in her hand back. Who would have thought that when she picked up the hand-net on the ground and was about to see where the fish was, she didn't hold it firmly in her hand, and the fishing line was pulled back a lot more.

Wow, he still has a bad temper!

"Awan, I'll take it, you fish it out!"

Boss Fu took the fishing line and wrapped it around his hand a few times, then pulled the line towards the boat with force. Fu Wan searched in the sea with a hand net for a few minutes, and sure enough, a fish weighing about four or five pounds gradually appeared in the sea.

"Haha, Dad, it's a grouper!"

Looking at the dense spots on the fish, Fu Wan also laughed out loud.

However, after catching the fish, Fu Wan also became troubled.

"Why haven't you seen this grouper before?"

It doesn't look like the common gentian grouper, nor does it look like the eastern star grouper or the mouse grouper.

Boss Fu frowned and took a closer look. When he matched the appearance of the fish with his memory, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Haha, red-spotted grouper, Awan, this is a red-spotted grouper!"

Red-spotted grouper? Fu Wan's eyes widened in shock. She had only heard of the red-spotted grouper but had never seen one.

"Dad, is this true? Is this a red-spotted grouper?"

"No doubt about it! I saw it once more than ten years ago. This fish must be the red-spotted grouper!"

Ye Xiaocui and Fu Shi heard the noise and came over to see what the fish looked like.

"Hey, it really is a red-spotted grouper!"

Ye Xiaocui obviously knew this fish and immediately laughed.

"Awan, don't be distracted! Quickly take this fish down and put it in the live water tank. This fish is more valuable than the grouper!"

Such a big red-spotted grouper will definitely sell for a good price!

Fu Wan took off the fishhook and looked at the fish again.

It was covered in small, round, orange-red spots, its body flattened laterally and oval in shape. Despite its unassuming appearance, it was surprisingly a rare grouper. The red-spotted grouper is now farmed. "Awan, let's quickly pull up the other hooks and see if there are any more red-spotted groupers."

"Hey, such a rare fish, if we could get a few more, it would be amazing!"

When Ye Xiaocui and the others heard Boss Fu's muttering, they hurriedly sped up to pull up all the fish hooks on their side.

Fu Shi couldn't help but mutter in his heart while pulling the fishing line. This red-spotted grouper can be regarded as the most expensive grouper. He had only heard Fu San talk about it a few times, but only today did he see what this fish looked like.

How could they catch so many such rare fish at once?

Fu Wan was being urged on by Boss Fu, so she couldn't pull the line in slowly. Before she could even admire the red-spotted grouper, Boss Fu placed it in the livewater tank like a treasure.

"Dad, is this fish better than grouper?"

Before Boss Fu could say anything, Ye Xiaocui saw her daughter's expression and knew what she was up to.

"Hurry up and work, this fish is so big, we can't eat it and sell it!"

The grouper she caught two days ago had made her heartbroken. After so much trouble, she finally found a red grouper. How could Ye Xiaocui let her daughter take it home and eat it herself?

Her plan was discovered, so Fu Wan could only stick out her tongue secretly, but she still had the evil intention to do so.

"Mom, I'll pull up another one later. I can always take it back with me, right?"

"Do you think this red-spotted grouper is a cabbage? I've been with your father for so many years, and I've only seen it once at the dock!"

After saying this, Fu Wan was still a little dissatisfied.

She pulled two or three hooks in a row, and in addition to two yellowfin snappers, there was even a tiger fish.

Like the Shi Jiugong, the tiger fish has a bizarre appearance. The front half of the fish is relatively large, the head is a bit short, and there are many well-developed barbels on the mouth.

This fish has no scales and a dorsal fin with 16 or 17 spines. It also has a well-developed venom gland behind the base of its dorsal fin. A puncture by a venomous spine can be extremely painful or life-threatening. (Tigerfish image, please delete if infringed) Another remarkable ability of the tigerfish is that its color changes depending on its environment.

When it is in shallow waters near the shore, its body is black and brown. When it is in deep waters, it is red or yellow, and often has red and blue spots on its body. Because its pectoral fins often have yellow or white markings, it looks a bit like a tiger, so it is called tiger fish.

"Awan, let me get the fish. Be careful not to get pricked."

Boss Fu carefully took the tiger fish from Fu Wan's hand. Although this thing is poisonous, it tastes good if handled properly.

Fu Wan didn't hesitate after hearing this. She let Boss Fu put the tiger fish into the live water tank while she went to pull out the remaining fish hooks.

"Dad, come quickly, there's another grouper!"

Hard work pays off. Seeing the faint spots in the sea, Fu Wan was so happy that her teeth were about to burst out laughing.

However, the next second, her smile froze on her face.

"Nima, what is that!"

A black shadow emerged from the swift sea, and before Fu Wan's grouper was completely pulled out of the water, it was swallowed by it.

The fishing line in Fu Wan's hand was instantly pulled into the sea.

Fu Wan immediately came to her senses and wrapped the remaining fishing line around her hand.

Damn it, no fish can snatch anything from her hands!

Seeing this, Boss Fu came over to help and asked, "How's it going? Did the fish get away?"

Fu Wan gritted her teeth and shook her head, "No, there's weight on the other side of the fishing line!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Fu hurriedly pulled the fishing line back. The father and daughter worked for a long time before the shadow of the fish appeared on the water.

"Big red-spotted grouper!"

Seeing that the fish seemed to be about to slip away, Fu Wan quickly took out the hand casting net and scooped it up, and the fish fell into the net.

The father and daughter worked together to lift the hand net onto the deck.

"Wow, this fish just swallowed a small fish, and the fish head is still in its mouth!"
