113: Sea Wolf Storm

“I left in a hurry today and wore the wrong shoes. These shoes are a bit small, brothers, what should I do?…”

Zhang Jun compared the shoes on his feet to a pearl Grouper weighing over thirty catties on the deck, and seriously filmed a video.

Finally, with a sly smile, he sent the video to the group.

Zhang Fei and Bai Lang were stunned by this flashy move. "Holy crap, you can do that? I've learned something new."

Yang Qi hadn't done this in a long time; he just wanted to make a fortune in silence. He gave Zhang Jun a thumbs up without speaking.

Showing off your catch is not as envy-inducing as showing off wealth; it’s a powerful way to brag that only works on a specific group of people.

Some say: Fishing is a form of male hunting behavior, inherent in our genes.

Others say: It's an expression of control; the rise and fall of the float, the feeling of hooking and fighting a fish, is indescribably wonderful.

Still others say: Every angler carries a world within their heart. Perhaps it's a large river or small stream deep in the jungle, or a secluded pond far from the hustle and bustle.

Perhaps it's a pristine lake in a picturesque setting, or the vast, boundless ocean.

Regardless of the cold or heat, no matter where they are, a place with water is where an angler's heart yearns to be.

Fishing involves anticipation, and this anticipation is indescribably wonderful.

The fish caught can also be shown off, bringing joy and satisfaction.

At this moment, the fishing group, as Yang Qi had imagined, was boiling with excitement.

Wei Yu Da Shi: “@Air Force Commander, Old Zhang is awesome!”

Hu Bu Shi Lang: “@Air Force Commander, Old Zhang is awesome! +1”

Wei Yu Da Shi: “@Air Force Commander, Old Zhang is awesome! +1”

…

Often Breaks Rods: “@Air Force Commander, Old Zhang, where did you catch such a big pearl Grouper?”

Air Force Little Prince: “@Air Force Commander, Old Chief, where did you catch such a big pearl Grouper? +1”

…

Zhang Jun just chuckled "hehehe" and didn't reply.

"If you don't ask me for my fishing spot, we can still be friends. But if you ask me for my fishing spot, aren't you trying to raid my old den! Hehehe! I won't tell you."

Using precise feeding, Yang Qi eventually brought up the remaining few Groupers. They all weighed over twenty catties.

In two hours, the three of them caught many Yellow Chicken Fish, Black Sea Bream, and some smaller Groupers at this spot.

Yang Qi piloted the setting sail, leaving to find another spot. He drove south for over an hour.

Yang Qi spotted a long, strip-shaped school of fish, surging towards the setting sail from 100 meters away.

That's right, it was a long, strip-shaped school of fish, because the fish were speeding along.

"Holy crap, a barracuda storm!"

In Yang Qi's view, there was a dense swarm of barracuda, with the larger ones thicker than a calf and over a meter long.

At this moment, the fish finder also sounded a "beep beep beep" alarm.

"Brothers, get ready, a large school of fish is coming."

Yang Qi stopped the boat and ran out of the cockpit. He grabbed a box of frozen bait from the freezer and started chopping fish.

"Brother Jun, chum the water."

"Alright." Zhang Jun immediately understood Yang Qi's meaning. He began to pick up the chopped fish pieces and throw them into the sea.

Before long, many large barracuda and some small, upper-level miscellaneous fish were frantically feeding on the surface of the sea. Countless bright white specks of light shimmered on the water.

Many keen-eyed seabirds began to circle in the sky nearby.

“Whoosh~!” Many seabirds adjusted their posture, diving down like fighter jets and plunging into the sea.

"Hehehe! A bunch of silly birds, there are many big guys in the sea. If you dive in recklessly like that, aren't you just delivering snacks to the barracuda?"

Yang Qi secretly thought.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jun, Zhang Fei, and Bai Lang were all stunned by the spectacular scene.

They exclaimed in admiration, shouting "Wow, wow, wow!" non-stop, and even took out their phones to record videos.

Yang Qi didn't have so many exclamations. He quickly changed to a steel leader and a large hook. He put on the bait and cast it into the school of fish.

“Woo woo woo!”

"Here it comes, what a monster, incredibly strong!" Yang Qi shouted loudly. It turned out to be a barracuda of at least thirty catties that had taken the bait.

He picked up the fishing rod, forcefully lifted it to set the hook, then inserted the rod into his belly pad, and used his right hand to lift the rod upwards.

He squatted slightly, and his left hand began to exert force, vigorously reeling in the fishing reel.

Squeak squeak squeak~, woo woo woo~.

The metallic sound of the fishing reel turning and the sound of the taut fishing line cutting through the water intertwined, making one's blood boil.

"Hahaha! This is so exhilarating, it's been a long time since I caught a big one! I almost forgot what it feels like to catch big fish."

Zhang Fei's loud shout came from beside him. It turned out that the other three had all hooked fish. They were all similar in size, barracuda weighing between twenty and thirty catties.

The barracuda, feeling pain in its mouth, frantically fled underwater, stirring up splashes.

Yang Qi's left hand reeled in a blur, finally pulling the barracuda to the side of the boat. He scooped the large barracuda into the landing net in one swift motion.

Looking at the barracuda's long fangs, it was still thrashing on the deck. He picked up a towel and covered the fish's eyes, and the barracuda quieted down.

Yang Qi carefully removed the hook with pliers and bled the barracuda to remove lactic acid.

Barracuda, also known as pike, have slender, cylindrical bodies. Their teeth are sharp, and they are very ferocious and difficult to catch. They also have a very strong temperament and usually die shortly after being caught.

Barracuda have pointed mouths, shuttle-shaped heads, wide lower jaws, and sharp, wolf-like teeth. They are known as the "wolf of the sea" in the fishing community.

China has now broken through the full freshwater aquaculture technology for barracuda, leading to overcapacity, so the market price of barracuda is only twenty to thirty yuan per catty.

However, large wild barracuda can fetch around 50 yuan per catty.

Yang Qi kicked the bled barracuda aside and ignored it. He re-baited and cast into the water.

Less than ten seconds after the bait hit the water, a group of large barracuda surrounded it, snatching at the food.

He set the hook without hesitation, and the large barracuda, pierced through the mouth by the hook, began to thrash wildly.

Yang Qi, with surprising strength, pulled the thirty-plus catty barracuda out of the water in four or five minutes.

He extended his gaff hook, and with a "snap," hooked the large barracuda. He then quickly pulled it onto the deck.

Holding the gaff hook, he took out a knife and skillfully bled the large barracuda to remove lactic acid.

The other three also nearly had their barracuda pulled to the side of the boat, and Yang Qi quickly helped gaff the fish onto the deck with a "swish, swish, swish."

Of course, he couldn't help with the bleeding; they couldn't waste everyone's time. Each of them, including Bai Lang, took out their own knives to bleed the fish and remove lactic acid.

In this way, the few of them continuously fished and hooked fish. Soon, the fish baskets behind them, as well as the deck, were filled with large barracuda.
