Chapter 324: Continuously Catching Fish
Chapter 324: Continuously Catching Fish
The price of sea bass is not expensive and belongs to the middle grade. Fu Wan had just put the sea bass into the fish basket filled with ice when Ye Lin's exclamation rang in her ears.
“I caught a fish here too!”
Ye Lin has been fishing for more than 20 years and is very skilled at fishing.
However, this fish was obviously much harder to catch than the one Fu Wan had just caught. More than ten minutes passed, and even Ye Lin, a man in his prime, was sweating profusely from the sea breeze.
"Awan, hold the fishing rod for me, I'll go take over for Brother Alin!"
Fu Ming was anxious because his fishing rod either had no movement at all, or when he picked it up, there was no fish but the bait had been eaten up.
Seeing Ye Lin looking like he was about to catch a big fish, he just wanted to help the gang out and have a go!
Especially seeing that Ye Lin was already exhausted, and there was still no sign of the fish in the sea.
Faced with Fu Ming's help, Ye Lin did not refuse stubbornly, and readily handed the fishing rod to Fu Ming who was walking over.
After Fu Ming took the fishing rod, he pressed it down with his hands, and then used both hands to control the fishing rod and pull the fishing line.
Ye Lin picked up the hand net on the ground, and while exercising his sore and painful right hand, he prepared to go into the sea to catch fish.
“The fish is out!”
Because he was too excited, Fu Ming's voice was a little loud, waking up the sleeping Boss Fu.
After Boss Fu wiped his face, he saw that the fishing rod was bent like a bow, and it looked like it was about to break.
"Yo, Niugang trevally!"
"Do you want me to pull it?"
You know, Niugang trevally is one of the best among sea fish. Although the veins on Fu Ming's forehead were popping out, he still shook his head and refused.
"Dad, this fish is definitely going to die, hurry up and grab your gear!"
Seeing that the fish had emerged from the water and was only one step away from success, how could he bear to let Boss Fu catch the fish?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin hurriedly handed over the hand-held net in his hand. Boss Fu took a look at it and waved his hand to refuse, then picked up a big fish hook.
"Hand-drawn nets won't work, we need this thing to catch tuna!"
The old fisherman is still an old fisherman. He raised the big fishhook and dug at the Niugang trevally in the sea. After hitting the target, he hooked the Niugang trevally's gills and pulled it onto the boat.
Looking at the big fish in front of him, which weighed at least ten kilograms, Ye Lin felt extremely happy.
He grinned and asked, "Uncle, how much can this fish sell for?"
Such a heavy fish must be worth at least dozens of dollars, right?
Boss Fu also laughed when he saw his nephew's silly look.
"Worth it? I guess it can be sold for a few dollars!"
How much? The smile on Ye Lin's face froze instantly.
"This fish is so big, how come it can only be sold for a few dollars?"
This shouldn't be!
Fu Wan returned the fishing rod to Fu Ming, who was watching the show, and explained Ye Lin's doubts.
"Niugang trevally is really not worth much. Although it is a favorite fish among anglers, it is challenging because of its great strength and explosive power.
But in terms of edible value, the taste of trevally is not as good as other fish, so the price is not very high."
Like the six-banded trevally that Jack Storm had previously spotted, the Niugang trevally belongs to the family of trevally. It also has an international abbreviation, GT.
As the largest carnivorous fish in the family of trevally, the Niugang trevally has an oval shape and a broad, flat body. As the fish grows, its body gradually elongates backwards.
The back of the head of the adult bull trevally is very obviously curved, but the upper abdomen is a straight line. Bull trevally is a migratory fish that lives near the coast and generally prefers to be active at night, so it is easy to catch bull trevally during night fishing.
After all, this guy is the Hercules of the sea. Ye Lin thought about the game he had just had with the fish and it was really exciting.
"It's okay. I'm satisfied with catching such a big fish. Come again!"
After saying that, he dropped the Niugang trevally and took the fishing rod to prepare to cast the next one.
At this time, there was new movement from Fu Wan's side. With the experience of fishing for sea bass just now, Fu Wan was able to catch the second fish much more smoothly.
Now she finally understood the happiness of those fishermen.
Just imagine that so many fish are biting the hook, just like opening a blind box, who wouldn’t be confused!
No wonder those anglers in later generations would go out fishing even if they had to leave their homes. What they enjoyed was probably the unknown surprise and the happiness after confronting the fish.
As expected, there are only zero times and countless times to fish. Once you taste the sweetness, it is easy to get addicted to it.
"Huo, it looks like a grouper!"
Fu Ming had completely given up and didn't even want to look at the fishing rod anymore, so he just stood by with a hand net to assist Fu Wan.
But this fish was not only not as big as the Niugang trevally that Ye Lin had just caught, it was not even as big as the sea bass that Fu Wan had caught.
So Fu Wan pulled it out of the water with almost no effort, and Fu Ming, who was waiting beside her, was also very helpful. He quickly used a hand net to scoop it up.
"It's not a grouper, it's Shi Jiugong!"
Ye Lin, who was standing nearby, came over and was about to help take the fish off when he was stopped by Fu Wan.
"Brother Alin, be careful, this thing is poisonous!"
What, poisonous?!
Ye Lin quickly retracted his hand. Although he was thick-skinned, who would want to get hurt for no reason?
Shi Jiugong is also called tiger fish in the local area. It is a small fish that is shaped like a grouper.
Compared to other marine fish, its appearance was somewhat ugly. The stone nine-tongued fish that Fu Wan caught weighed less than half a pound and was no longer than a palm, probably less than ten centimeters.
The reason it's poisonous is because the stone nine-headed dolphin has numerous spines on its gill cover and head. These spines are venomous, and if you're accidentally stung by one, you'll suffer. Not only will your skin swell rapidly, but you'll also experience a burning pain that will last for at least an hour or two.
The coloration of this fish also looks menacing. Its body is reddish-brown to dark brown, with five irregular dark horizontal bands running down its sides. Its body and fins are covered in numerous white spots. (Image of the Stone Nine-headed Fish (deleted if infringed)) Although small, the Stone Nine-headed Fish is a carnivore. It's adept at camouflage, preferring to hide under rocks and wait for passing shrimp before swiftly pouncing and capturing its prey.
Although Shi Jiugong looks like it's not easy to mess with, its fish meat is a rare delicacy if handled properly.
Especially when it is used to make a milky white fish soup, it is so delicious that you will be speechless after drinking it.
But it's not easy to make a big bowl of soup with just one fish. Fu Wan thought to herself, it would be better if she could have a few more.
Anyway, this fish tastes good, so I'm too lazy to sell it. I'll just keep some for myself to eat at home.
Fortunately, the reality was just as Fu Wan had hoped. The fishing spot she was fishing at seemed to be Shi Jiugong's lair. As soon as she cast the fishing rod, before Fu Wan had time to catch her breath, the float on the fishing rod sank rapidly.
When I picked up the fishing rod, I saw Shi Jiugong again.
At first, Fu Wan felt it was new and fresh, but after having sex with seven or eight palm-sized stone nine-gongs in a row, she felt a little numb.
This made Fu Ming extremely envious. He felt envious and depressed at the same time. Fu Wan was catching fish one after another, but he could only watch from the side with his fishing rod.
Is this even allowing people to live? Washing dishes for half a month is no big deal, but is he going to lose his reputation as the number one angler in Fujia Village?
