262: School of Golden Spotted Fish

As soon as Yang Qi poured all the fish chunks into the sea, Bai Xue immediately set up two electric reels.

Yang Qi used a boat fishing rod, baited it, and the two began a new round of fishing.

Yang Qi was the first to hook a fish. Seeing that it was a Grouper, he slowed down the retrieval speed to ensure its survival rate as much as possible.

As a Green Grouper weighing about three catties was scooped up with his landing net, Bai Xue's electric reel also began to whir and reel in.

Yang Qi used his ability to take a look, and it was a Grouper and a red seabream, both around three or four catties.

The fish chunks used as chum earlier had attracted a school of fish from the other end of the underwater trench.

Yang Qi looked closely and saw it was a school of completely Red Sea Bream, identical in appearance to yellow Sea Bream, but red in color. They were called Red Sea Bream, also known as Red Snapper.

"Red Sea Bream, not bad!"

Bai Xue also reeled in two Red Sea Bream on her side.

Actually, any fishing trip is good if you encounter a school of fish. After all, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.

Thus, Red Sea Bream were caught one after another by the two of them. The entirely red fish looked festive.

This school of fish was quite large overall. The two kept catching fish continuously until sunset, when the bites finally stopped.

In nearly three hours, they had caught about three hundred Red Sea Bream, which was a very good harvest.

While Bai Xue was cooking, another type of fish school appeared on the seabed, which had previously stopped biting.

Yang Qi saw a dense school of fish, resembling a swarm of bottom-dwelling tigers, emerging from the underwater trench.

They seemed to bite very aggressively, with fish immediately swallowing the bait. The fishing rod was instantly bent.

Yang Qi immediately raised his rod to set the hook, which was seen by Bai Xue as she came out of the kitchen.

"Husband, is the fish big?"

"Not very big, just a few catties."

Yang Qi originally thought that with such aggressive bites, it should be a relatively large fish, but he didn't expect it to be small, only about two catties.

"Hmm? This should be a gold coin grouper, right?"

Yang Qi looked at the fish he had caught. He had never caught this kind of fish before.

However, it looked like a type of Grouper, with its body covered in coin-sized spots, and the color was a bit dark golden.

"gold coin grouper!"

Bai Xue heard the commotion, took a look, and immediately identified the fish species.

"This fish is not common now. The price should be able to sell for 300 to 500 yuan per catty. It's quite good."

Upon hearing the price of the fish, Yang Qi carefully removed the gold coin grouper and placed it in the live fish tank.

"Another new species unlocked. The name gold coin grouper sounds nice too. I'll keep some at home."

Then he cast his rod again and carefully observed the school of fish emerging from the underwater trench. He didn't expect most of them to be this kind of gold coin grouper.

"It's a school of gold coin grouper!"

Bai Xue also saw that the two electric reels were also catching fish. She turned back to turn down the gas stove fire, slowly simmering the seafood porridge. She decided not to cook other dishes; fishing was more important.

When she returned, she saw Yang Qi reeling in another gold coin grouper weighing four or five catties.

"Ah! Husband, you caught another gold coin grouper! So amazing!"

She turned her head and saw two gold coin grouper also hooked on the electric reels, shouting happily,

"Husband, it seems we've encountered a school of gold coin grouper. You're so lucky!"

"Hehehe."

Yang Qi laughed, secretly thinking:

"Isn't it a school of gold coin grouper? The seabed is covered with them."

"Oh ho, I have two more gold coin grouper here."

"Mine too."

"This isn't just gold coin grouper, this is money."

"Husband, since we've encountered a school of gold coin grouper, we should catch more."

Such opportunities are rare. They had been out at sea for so long and had never encountered a school of gold coin grouper before.

Yang Qi re-baited his hook and cast it into the sea. In less than a minute, he hooked a fish again, but this time the fish was clearly much larger.

Feeling the struggle and pull of the fish, he estimated it to be over twenty catties. Having caught so many fish, he could basically estimate the weight of a fish based on its pulling force.

Hearing the "woo woo" sound of Yang Qi's fishing line cutting through the water, and seeing him struggling with the fish,

Bai Xue asked, "Husband, did you catch a big fish?"

"Not very big, about twenty catties!"

Yang Qi could now catch fish of this size, around twenty catties, with ease.

However, to ensure it could be brought up alive, he also reined in his strength, slowly maneuvering with the fish.

After Bai Xue had reeled in two fish on her side, he finally pulled the fish out of the water.

"Wow! Such a big gold coin grouper! My husband is truly amazing."

Bai Xue timely showered him with praise, providing plenty of emotional value.

"Hehehe, hasn't your husband always been amazing?"

Yang Qi said smugly while scooping the half-meter-long gold coin grouper onto the deck.

Actually, gold coin grouper are usually one or two catties, and those around five catties are considered big fish. One like this, weighing around twenty catties, is indeed very rare.

Yang Qi carefully removed the hook and put this giant among gold coin grouper into the live fish tank to keep it alive.

With so many more gold coin grouper waiting on the seabed, he didn't have much time to focus on this large gold coin grouper.

"Husband, are you hungry? The seafood porridge is ready. Should I fry some dishes for you first? You can eat first."

Bai Xue came out of the kitchen and said to Yang Qi.

"Let's fish first! We'll eat later. What if the school of fish leaves?"

Yang Qi shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll go fishing too. Let's try to catch more."

Bai Xue said with a smile.

The two then raced against time, not wasting a single moment, not wanting to miss this rare opportunity.

Thus, one two-to-three-catty gold coin grouper after another was caught by the two and placed into the live fish tank.

Looking at the continuously biting gold coin grouper, both their faces were full of smiles.

After fishing for another two hours, the two finally used up all the live shrimp they had brought.

Yang Qi simply poured all the remaining fish chunks from the mid-way chumming into the fishing spot.

He took out his phone and marked this spot as "Grouper Den."

There are endless fish in the sea. By chumming and feeding the fish, they could come back to fish again later.

Encountering a school of fish is already luck. Just remembering the fishing spot is enough.

If they fished too aggressively, they might scatter the school, and then it would take a longer time for the fish to gather in that spot again.

"Husband, I'll go make you a few dishes. You can have some seafood porridge first."

Bai Xue hurried towards the kitchen.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I'll clean up the deck."

Yang Qi first put two boxes of Grouper that were unlikely to survive into the freezer. Then he picked up the high-pressure water gun and began cleaning the deck.

Just as he finished cleaning, he saw Bai Xue coming out of the kitchen with the dishes.

Yang Qi quickly brought a small table. He went into the kitchen and brought out a pot of seafood porridge.

The two, who were already ravenous, began to enjoy their delayed delicious meal.
