301: Another large yellow croaker

"Wow, Bai Xue, you're amazing! A Large Yellow Croaker!"

Yao Shanshan exclaimed, her eyes gleaming.

"Hehehe, I can't help it, I'm just lucky, you have to work hard too."

Bai Xue said, smiling triumphantly.

"Hmph, don't get too smug too early. Just watch me catch an even bigger one later."

Yao Shanshan seemed a little unconvinced. The next moment, she shouted:

"Hahaha, I've got a bite too! It must be a Large Yellow Croaker!"

Since the two vessels were close, the news of catching a Large Yellow Croaker on the setting sail reached Zhang Jun and the others.

"Oh dear, they've all caught Large Yellow Croakers, why haven't we caught any yet?"

"Don't worry, since Yang Qi has Large Yellow Croakers over there, we'll have them here too."

"Oh, I've got a bite too! I hope it's a Large Yellow Croaker!"

"Hehehe, I've got a bite too."

For a time, Anglers on both vessels were getting bites. It was lively, and everyone hoped they had caught a Large Yellow Croaker.

Yang Qi, with his rich experience, quickly and steadily reeled in a Large Yellow Croaker weighing about 8 jin.

The fishing boat's lights on the sea shone on its golden scales, sparkling and very dazzling.

"Hehehe, 180,000 yuan in hand."

Yang Qi carefully wrapped the eight-jin wild Large Yellow Croaker, grinning.

"Are Large Yellow Croakers that expensive? Is this one really worth 180,000?"

Yao Shanshan exclaimed while reeling in her fish. She only knew Large Yellow Croakers were expensive, but not *this* expensive.

"Of course! A few months ago, my Uncle caught one this big and sold it for 180,000."

Yang Qi said matter-of-factly.

Not long after, Yao Shanshan also reeled in a Large Yellow Croaker weighing about six jin. While learning from Yang Qi to wrap the Large Yellow Croaker with a towel, she asked:

"Yang Qi, how much is this one worth?"

"A wild Large Yellow Croaker of five to six jin is about 12,000 yuan per jin, so this fish is worth around 70,000 yuan."

Yang Qi thought for a moment and said.

Yao Shanshan was about to ask why a difference of two jin would result in such a huge price difference. Then she remembered, aren't seafood items more expensive the bigger they are?

Besides, 70,000 yuan for one fish was already quite a lot. A 10% share would be 7,000 yuan, equivalent to two months of her internship salary.

This was far, far beyond her expectations.

"Hahaha, I also caught a wild Large Yellow Croaker, it's almost five jin."

From the vast sea, Zhang Jun's hearty laughter could be heard.

"Oh dear, why is mine a Spanish Mackerel?"

"Mine is a big black carp, not bad!"

"Damn it, mine is a Mackerel."

"Hehehe, no choice, it's a matter of luck."

...Shouts and cries came from the vast sea, drawing hearty laughter from the three people on the setting sail.

Every time the three of them caught a Large Yellow Croaker, they would sprinkle some fish pieces into the fishing spot, trying their best to prevent the fish school from scattering.

This was like performing a 'disappearing act for companions' for the fish school, and then tossing them some snacks to calm their nerves.

Yang Qi used his Golden Finger to specifically target large Large Yellow Croakers.

If he couldn't win by luck, he would use his Golden Finger for precise feeding. However, occasionally some smaller Large Yellow Croakers, or even other fish species, would snatch the bait midway.

Large Yellow Croakers weighing less than half a jin were all thrown back into the sea. Other fish species were thrown into the fish basket behind them.

Soon, Yang Qi noticed that his fishing spot no longer had any large Large Yellow Croakers.

He looked closely at Yao Shanshan's side and saw a Large Yellow Croaker weighing over fifteen jin. His eyes instantly went wide.

How could he let that one get away? Otherwise, he'd be kicking himself.

"Uh, Shanshan, I'll fish over here for a bit!"

Yang Qi said with an awkward laugh.

"Sure! Fish wherever you like."

Yao Shanshan said without hesitation.

Yang Qi controlled his strength, casting his rod with a 'swish', and the hook with bait quickly landed near the Large Yellow Croaker.

He gently twitched the fishing rod, making the Shrimp on the hook appear more lively. The Large Yellow Croaker instantly noticed it.

How could it let such a delicious meal at its mouth escape? The Large Yellow Croaker flicked its head and swallowed it.

Yang Qi, who had been staring at it, instinctively raised his rod to set the hook, and the Large Yellow Croaker's mouth was instantly pierced.

Feeling the pulling force from the fishing rod, Yang Qi was overjoyed.

While manipulating the fishing rod, he estimated the price of this super large Large Yellow Croaker.

Last time, his eighteen-jin Large Yellow Croaker sold for 660,000 yuan. This one, a little over fifteen jin, should be worth around 500,000 yuan, right?

Although this fish was only fifteen jin, Yang Qi was very patient and steadily reeled it out of the water.

"Wow! What a huge Large Yellow Croaker!"

Yao Shanshan was immediately overjoyed when she saw the gleaming golden giant Large Yellow Croaker floating on the water.

Bai Xue was also drawn by Yao Shanshan's exclamation and hurried over.

"Wow, husband, you're amazing!"

"Hehehe, keep it low-key, low-key. It's not like I haven't caught one before."

Yang Qi said proudly as he scooped up the super large Large Yellow Croaker.

"Quick, take a picture and wrap it up immediately!"

Bai Xue immediately said upon hearing this:

"Yes, yes, Shanshan, hurry, hurry."

Seeing Bai Xue grinning and tightly hugging the Large Yellow Croaker for a photo, Yang Qi also smiled.

The three quickly finished taking photos. Yang Qi let Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan wrap the Large Yellow Croaker together.

He himself quickly started precise feeding in Yao Shanshan's fishing spot, catching all three Large Yellow Croakers over five jin from there.

Then he went to Bai Xue's fishing spot to take a look. He found only four Large Yellow Croakers over five jin.

He certainly couldn't let those go, so he spent another half an hour catching those Large Yellow Croakers.

Afterward, he returned to his own fishing spot and found that only other fish species were swimming around there.

Finally, after Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan each successively caught another Large Yellow Croaker of about two jin, the Large Yellow Croakers finally vanished without a trace.

Yang Qi saw that the most valuable fish remaining below were some Wrasse, and immediately lost interest.

However, he couldn't very well say he wouldn't fish anymore, so he could only continue fishing with Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan.

Although the two felt some regret about not catching any more Large Yellow Croakers afterward, they were still very happy as long as they could continuously catch fish.

Yang Qi went to get a large foam box, put some crushed ice in it, and transferred all the Large Yellow Croakers into it.

He took the opportunity to count them. He alone, including the 15-jin one, had caught a total of fourteen Large Yellow Croakers.

Bai Xue had caught a total of five Large Yellow Croakers, two weighing five to six jin, and three weighing about two to three jin.

Yao Shanshan had caught a total of four Large Yellow Croakers, two weighing five to six jin, and two weighing about two to three jin.

Of course, Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan had caught many more other fish species than Yang Qi.

Yang Qi took out two Large Yellow Croakers weighing about two jin and handed them to Bai Xue, saying:

"Later, steam these two fish for a late-night snack!"
