275: Dogtooth Tuna School

As soon as Yao Shanshan heard about taking a photo with a big fish, she immediately became interested, taking off the mask and hat she had momentarily forgotten.

She tidied her hair, stood in front of the hanging Dogtooth Tuna, smiled sweetly, and made a V-sign.

Yang Qi quickly pressed the button.

"How is it? Did you turn on the beauty filter?"

Yang Qi was a bit speechless, recalling that Bai Xue was the same when she first started; she would always add a little beauty filter to every photo before she would take it.

She was clearly a great beauty, yet she was afraid of not looking good in photos.

In fact, by Yang Qi's aesthetic standards, both Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan were top-tier beauties. Even without makeup, they would definitely surpass most celebrities.

"Don't be so lacking in confidence, okay? You're beautiful whether the beauty filter is on or not."

Yang Qi handed his phone to Yao Shanshan, letting her look at the photos he had just taken.

He re-hooked a live Mackerel and continued fishing. Bleeding, acid removal, and gutting were still handled by Yao Shanshan.

However, after she finished, she went to retrieve the Tuna on her own fishing rod. By then, this Tuna no longer had much strength to struggle.

As she occasionally manually reeled in the line, this Dogtooth Tuna, weighing nearly 280 catties, was pulled to the vicinity of the boat's side.

Yang Qi used a rope to loop the big fish's tail and then used a gaff hook to pierce the Tuna's head.

With a final spasm from the Dogtooth Tuna, it quickly lost its vitality and died.

The two of them hoisted this large Dogtooth Tuna onto the deck.

"Hahaha, this Tuna is even bigger, isn't it? I caught it."

Yao Shanshan exclaimed excitedly,

"Xiao Xue, look, I caught a super huge Dogtooth Tuna. Hehehe."

Bai Xue's second Tuna was at a critical moment, so she ignored her.

"Xiao Xue, do you want me to take over for a bit?"

Yang Qi came to Bai Xue's side and asked.

"No need, I can do it. You go help Shanshan take a few photos. After all, this is the first time she's caught such a big fish. She's still excited right now, so go ahead, husband!"

"Come back and help me later."

Bai Xue said to Yang Qi with a smile.

"Uh... alright!"

Just then, Yao Shanshan saw Yang Qi approaching and quickly called out to him:

"Yang Qi, help me take a few photos. This is the first time I've caught such a big fish; it's so memorable."

"Okay!"

Yang Qi took the phone and began taking photos for Yao Shanshan.

As Yang Qi was focused on taking photos of Yao Shanshan, he suddenly heard a gasp from Bai Xue's side.

He turned his head and saw that the Tuna Bai Xue had hooked suddenly pulled hard, causing her to stumble.

Yang Qi quickly put down his phone, rushed over in one stride, grabbed Bai Xue's fishing rod from behind, and began to wrestle with the Tuna.

The Tuna was extremely strong, bending the fishing rod sharply. Because this was a professional-grade rod for large fish, he didn't have to worry about it breaking.

Yang Qi gritted his teeth, his feet planted firmly on the deck, and slowly reeled in the fishing line.

Bai Xue also recovered, instinctively leaning into Yang Qi's embrace, extending her hands to firmly grip the fishing rod. Their bodies pressed closely together as they both raised the rod and bent their backs.

The scene couldn't have been more beautiful!

Indeed, when husband and wife are of one mind, they can cut through metal.

Yang Qi took the opportunity to free one hand and quickly reeled in the line.

Just then, Yao Shanshan also came over, picked up her phone, and recorded this beautiful moment.

Then, seeing that she couldn't really help, she just stood by and cheered them on.

After an intense struggle, the Tuna finally began to lose strength.

Yang Qi seized the chance to increase his effort, and together with Bai Xue, they pulled this large Dogtooth Tuna to the surface of the sea.

At this point, Yao Shanshan brought over the crane boom, and the group worked together to hoist the Tuna onto the deck.

This Dogtooth Tuna was even larger than the one Yao Shanshan caught, weighing about 320 catties. Such a large Dogtooth Tuna was indeed very rare.

The three of them looked at the big fish and cheered excitedly. Yao Shanshan also ran over and joined them in taking photos around the big fish, filling the deck with a joyful atmosphere.

Yang Qi finally saw that the school of Dogtooth Tuna in the sea had disappeared; they must have eaten their fill and left.

From this school of Dogtooth Tuna, the three of them caught a total of nine.

The bow of the boat was a sea of blood, flowing steadily into the ocean along the scuppers, staining the sea surface red.

Nine large Dogtooth Tuna lay haphazardly across the deck. Yao Shanshan collapsed in the middle of the Tuna pile, utterly exhausted.

Because each Dogtooth Tuna had to be moved to the side after being processed to make room for the next one before another could be handled.

Each Dogtooth Tuna weighed over two hundred catties, and although Yao Shanshan was 1.72 meters tall, she only weighed around 106 catties.

Just imagine dragging something more than twice your body weight, and doing it continuously; how tiring it was needs no explanation.

Finally, Yang Qi finished his tasks and stepped forward to take the water gun from Yao Shanshan's hand, beginning to rinse the bodies and cavities of the Tuna.

Finally, the group pushed these Tuna into the freezer and stored them. By now, even Bai Xue was too tired to move.

"You two go take a shower first. I'll make you some fish soup. Drink it and then go to sleep!"

Yang Qi said, looking at the two exhausted women.

"Okay! Husband, pull me up. I can't get up."

Bai Xue began to act coquettishly, showing affection in front of Yao Shanshan. Yang Qi bent down and scooped Bai Xue into his arms.

"Ehh..."

Yao Shanshan glanced at the two with a look of disdain.

She struggled to stand up, but her legs were sore, and she couldn't get up for a moment. This was a bit awkward; she had been force-fed a mouthful of affection by the two of them.

"Come, I'll pull you up."

Yang Qi held Bai Xue with one arm and extended his other hand to pull Yao Shanshan.

Yao Shanshan paused for a moment, then took Yang Qi's hand and stood up.

"Hmph, you two can show off all you want. Those who flaunt their love die quickly!"

She said this, slowly walking towards the resting cabin.

Yang Qi put Bai Xue down and then went to the freezer to retrieve two Red-spotted Grouper, heading towards the kitchen to prepare the fish soup.

He skillfully processed the fish, and before long, the delicious aroma of fish soup filled the air.

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan emerged from their showers, exuding the fresh scent of shower gel.

"Wow, it smells so good."

Yao Shanshan sniffed, eagerly sitting down at the dining table.

Yang Qi served the fish soup, and the three of them sat together, drinking the soup. Their fatigue seemed to dissipate considerably.

"The harvest today was really great. These Tuna will definitely sell for a lot of money."

Yao Shanshan said excitedly.

"Yes, but your health is still important. Get a good rest tonight."

Yang Qi added another bowl of fish soup for the two women, then said.

After drinking the fish soup, Yang Qi said a word to the two women and then went to take a shower first.

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan tidied up the trash and sat on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.

After showering, Yang Qi returned to the cockpit.

Lying on the small bed in the cockpit, he thought about the day's experiences, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips, looking forward to more harvests to come.
