174: Blue Fat Man

"Yang Qi, you're so lucky! You have to let me have a go later!"

Liu Yao babbled behind Yang Qi, like Xianglin's Wife.

Fishermen, if they can't catch a big fish themselves, they're happy to share in someone else's big catch.

If some people nearby weren't unfamiliar with him, they would have already gone up to say something. Didn't you see Chang Jianqiang and Wang Hu over by Zhang Jun, already surrounding Zhang Jun, constantly telling him how to operate?

Fishermen always believe that they are the most powerful and the most correct.

"Alright! You come!"

Yang Qi said to Liu Yao.

Liu Yao didn't react for a moment:

"No, you haven't even started fighting the fish yet? Is your stamina already failing? Are you that weak?"

If Yang Qi knew Liu Yao was mocking him, he would definitely retort:

"You're weak, your whole family is weak."

Liu Yao began to take over the boat fishing rod. Of course, he didn't pick up the rod from the rod holder yet; he just held the rod with one hand and operated the large drum reel with the other.

It wasn't that Yang Qi particularly trusted Liu Yao's stamina and skill; in his heart, the best candidate was Wang Jinxi. But he had been called to get the buoys.

Instead, he clearly saw the two Bluefin Tuna heading towards his hooks, which had two Skipjack Tuna on them.

The two buoys on the surface of the sea suddenly sank underwater. Yang Qi was already prepared. He pulled the rope with all his might and yanked it back hard.

Immediately, a huge pulling force came from his hand, dragging him towards the sea. Yang Qi stumbled and was almost pulled into the sea.

"What great strength!"

Yang Qi immediately let go of the rope in his hand. Wang Jinxi, who had just arrived, immediately understood Yang Qi's need for the buoys. He quickly hung the buoys on the rope.

Watching the buoys being pulled into the sea, bobbing and sinking on the distant surface, sometimes completely submerged, sometimes only two visible, sometimes all four floating up.

Yang Qi was very happy in his heart, knowing that this time he had a chance.

"How did you come up with this method? No wonder you always catch so many fish. You're so smart."

Wang Jinxi exclaimed.

"Hehehe, A Xi, keep it low-key, low-key."

Yang Qi was a little embarrassed by the praise. Only he knew that this fishing line could only achieve maximum efficiency when combined with his special ability.

If others learned it, there might be some success, but first, you have to find Tuna, right? Moreover, pulling fish with this line is more tiring than using a fishing rod.

Since Yang Qi gained his special ability, he found that his strength was growing, definitely exceeding two times his original strength, and his appetite was the same.

The current situation was that he himself was in charge of this fishing line, Liu Yao was in charge of that boat fishing rod, and Wang Jinxi was in the middle helping both sides, mainly helping Liu Yao's side.

After all four buoys floated up, Yang Qi immediately started pulling the rope. When the fish began to exert force again, he let go of his hands, letting the big fish run with the buoys.

The buoyancy of the four buoys greatly offset the pulling force of the Bluefin Tuna.

The four buoys and Yang Qi working together made this Bluefin Tuna suffer immensely. Just as it wanted to rest for a while, its mouth was pulled, causing intense pain.

It exerted force to dive into the deep water, but there was always a pulling force tightly holding it, constantly draining its stamina.

Yang Qi casually glanced at the water. The group of Tuna was startled and had already run off to who knows where.

In the nearby waters, only the three Tuna on their lines were struggling for their lives.

The first to be pulled out of the sea was Zhang Jun's Yellowfin Tuna. Although it weighed over two hundred jin, it couldn't withstand three or four people taking turns to fight it!

As the Ship worker's gaff hook precisely pierced the Tuna's eye, and amidst the cheers of the onlookers, the crane slowly lifted the Yellowfin Tuna.

Immediately, crewmen came to process the Tuna: bleeding it, draining the acid, gutting it, removing the internal organs. A water pipe was inserted into the incision near the gills, constantly flushing it with water.

Taking photos with the big Tuna was, of course, essential. First, it was definitely the owner, Zhang Jun, followed by Chang Jianqiang and the others who had helped.

Finally, other fishermen on the boat came over for photos. They might claim later that they caught it themselves, which is very normal and not surprising.

Zhang Jun continuously accepted congratulations from the other fishermen, regardless of what they were thinking at the time. After the fact, the words spoken were still pleasant to hear.

"Yang Qi, are you tired? Do you want your big brother to take over?"

Zhang Jun walked towards Yang Qi, lit two cigarettes, put one in Yang Qi's mouth, and asked.

"Alright! Let you have a taste too. This pull is even fiercer, be careful not to strain your back!"

Yang Qi reminded him.

It was fortunate that Yang Qi warned him beforehand. Even with preparation, Zhang Jun was still pulled off balance.

"Holy cow, why is it so fierce!"

Zhang Jun's face turned ashen from the strain, and he only managed to pull the fish a few dozen meters closer. Chang Jianqiang and the others, disbelieving, came over to try.

The result was even worse than Zhang Jun's. At least he exercised daily, and his physical condition was much better than the others.

Yang Qi could tell that only Wang Jinxi was slightly less capable than him, followed by Zhang Jun. The others were not in the same league, so there was no need to mention them.

The boat fishing rod, with Wang Jinxi as the main angler and Liu Yao and Lu Hua assisting, also reached the moment of harvest.

With the help of another Ship worker, a Yellowfin Tuna weighing over two hundred jin was finally hoisted onto the deck by the crane.

The Ship worker handled the Tuna processing with ease, finishing it quickly. Blood was flushed out of the Tuna's body by the water pipe and flowed into the sea through the drain.

The internal organs and gills were thrown into the sea, immediately surrounded and pecked at by countless fish.

With Wang Jinxi's addition, the rope was quickly pulled closer. When a Tuna, like a fat pig, was pulled out of the sea,

exclamations immediately erupted around them:

"Holy cow, it's a Bluefin Tuna!"

"What a big Bluefin Tuna!"

"At least 500 jin!"

"This Bluefin Tuna is so fat!"

As the Tuna was slowly pulled closer, Zhang Jun and the others finally saw its true appearance.

Its spindle-shaped body, deep blue with a hint of purple on its back, silvery-white belly, short pectoral fins, and crescent-shaped caudal fin.

All indicated its identity—a Bluefin Tuna.

Its plump physique, combined with its deep blue and slightly purple body surface, was very beautiful, truly a blue fatty.

After the Ship worker nearby secured the Bluefin Tuna's tail, Wang Jinxi took the gaff hook and plunged it fiercely into the Tuna's head.

The Bluefin Tuna convulsed as if having an epileptic fit, trembling rigidly, and finally breathed its last.

As the crane hoisted this Bluefin Tuna onto the deck, everyone cheered.

Among these cheers were blessings for Yang Qi, but more so, encouragement for themselves:

"Look, this kid caught a Bluefin Tuna, which proves there are such fish here. Maybe I'll be the next one to catch it."
