308: Bigeye Tuna School

Yang Qi pointed at the display screen with a dark expression: "This weight is truly speechless."

Bai Xue and Yao Shanshan looked up, and the next moment, burst into giggles.

It turned out the number "250" was clearly displayed on the screen.

Yang Qi quickly took out the bleeding knife and bled the Bigeye Tuna hanging from the crane to remove lactic acid. There was no time to gut it for now, that would have to wait.

"Xiao Xue, shall I help you?"

"Thank you, hubby, I can do it myself. You should go help Shanshan. It's her first time catching something this big with a boat rod."

Bai Xue smiled at Yang Qi.

"Alright then, I'll go take a look."

Yang Qi saw that Bai Xue was almost done, at the final stage of reeling in, so he nodded.

"Shanshan, you rest for a bit, I'll help you reel it in."

He arrived at Yao Shanshan's fishing spot and saw that she still had quite a way to go, with at least five or six hundred meters of fishing line still out.

He saw Yao Shanshan turn her head, her face flushed red, and her hands even trembling slightly, but she was still gritting her teeth and persevering.

Her large, clear eyes showed an expression of reluctance to give up.

This gave Yang Qi the illusion that he was stealing someone's peach.

"What a sin! I didn't mean that at all!"

Yang Qi secretly grumbled.

"Uh, Shanshan, I'll help you reel in for a bit, but you'll definitely have to pull it out of the water yourself at the end."

"Really? That's great, thank you, Brother Qi, hehehe!"

Yang Qi's words immediately made Yao Shanshan beam with joy, grinning and thanking him repeatedly!

"This Yang Qi is truly considerate!"

Yang Qi, of course, understood the Anglers' obsession with catching big fish themselves. Yao Shanshan started it, he helped her midway, and then let her land it herself, which completed the cycle.

Otherwise, it would truly feel like stealing someone's peach.

"You go help Xiao Xue get the Tuna onto the boat first, then come back here to take over.

Yang Qi took the fishing rod from Yao Shanshan's hand, inserted it into his Fighting Belt, and began to reel in with force.

"Oh! Oh, I'm going now, I'm counting on you here, Brother Qi, don't let the big fish get away!"

Yao Shanshan walked towards Bai Xue, turning her head back three times.

Yang Qi began to reel in intently, the boat rod swaying rhythmically in his hand.

As the fishing line was reeled in little by little, the big fish underwater began to resist more strongly, pulling the boat rod into a bow.

Yang Qi gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his hands, as if every meter of line reeled in expended all his strength.

Just then, the fishing rod suddenly shook violently. It turned out the big fish had fiercely thrashed its tail, almost breaking free from the hook.

Yang Qi's heart tightened, and he quickly steadied himself, increasing the force in his hands.

Meanwhile, Bai Xue and the other person had successfully brought a 230-jin Bigeye Tuna onto the boat and were now nervously watching Yang Qi with Yao Shanshan.

After Bai Xue bled her own Bigeye Tuna to remove lactic acid, she also gutted Yang Qi's fish.

"Brother Qi, don't let the big fish get away, keep it up!"

Yao Shanshan shouted loudly.

Yang Qi took a deep breath, exerted force again, and finally, only the last few tens of meters of fishing line remained.

"Shanshan, your turn!"

"Thank you! Brother Qi, hehehe"

Seeing that Yao Shanshan could handle it completely on her own, Yang Qi returned to his fishing spot and began assisting the Electric Reel in fighting the Tuna below.

He saw that there were still about three hundred meters of fishing line out. The big fish's struggle had noticeably weakened, so Yang Qi simply picked up the fishing rod from the rod holder and began to reel in manually.

"Wahahaha! Xiao Xue, this Bigeye Tuna must be over three hundred jin! I feel like it's bigger than your Brother Qi's 250!"

Yao Shanshan grew more and more smug as she spoke.

"Hahaha, yours is indeed a bit more than 250, but it won't reach 300 jin."

Bai Xue also burst out laughing upon hearing this. On the other side, Yang Qi's face darkened when he heard it.

The three of them worked together to successively hoist the other two Tuna from underwater onto the deck for bleeding and lactic acid removal.

Yang Qi looked into the water; the Tuna had long since vanished. This wave of luck was quite good; the three of them caught a total of six Bigeye Tuna, a truly fruitful harvest.

All of them weighed over two hundred jin, with the largest one, weighing 285 jin, caught by Yao Shanshan using an Electric Reel.

During his fishing earlier, Yang Qi also heard the clamor from several other fishing boats, suggesting that someone else had also caught Tuna.

However, he didn't know exactly how many they had caught.

As the Tuna school dispersed, this sea area was left with only some fish schools that lacked a sense of danger, continuing to prey on small fish under the lights.

The prosperity ended, and everything returned to calm.

Because of the appearance of the Tuna earlier, like a dream, it raised the expectations of all the Anglers considerably.

People who were originally happy catching a two or three-jin Black Sea Bream now felt no excitement at all when catching red seabream, Flounder, and other fish.

Everyone was fully geared up, hoping to catch another Tuna.

Just like that, time quickly came to one o'clock in the morning.

Although there were constant bites during this period, they were all small fish or medium-sized fish.

The gap between reality and ideal was quite large, diminishing much of the joy of harvest for the Anglers.

"Brother Qi, Xiao Xue, supper is ready!"

Yao Shanshan came over to call them for supper. Yang Qi tossed a Sea Bream in his hand into the fish box behind him as if it were trash.

He turned and followed the two to eat supper.

After dinner, the three took turns showering, changed into loose clothes, and went to the Flybridge to drink tea and aid digestion.

They saw the Anglers on several nearby fishing boats that had arrived later, all vigorously casting their rods.

"These are truly a group of real Anglers!"

The young masters on the vast sea were also having supper; for them, today's fishing had been very satisfying.

It was estimated that they were not planning to fish anymore; they had even started drinking small wines. They generally don't fish after drinking alcohol.

Yang Qi admired them for this; these few people were very disciplined.

He was the same; before getting on the boat, Zhang Jun had given him a box of red wine, and after several days, he hadn't opened a single bottle.

Sure enough, not long after, many of the lights on the vast sea went out. Only two captains and a helper remained on the deck, fishing.

Everyone else went back to the cockpit to sleep.

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Yang Qi woke up. He heard bursts of cheers and excitement coming from the nearby fishing boats.

He figured the fish bite must be good at this time, and they must have caught big fish to be so excited.

Yang Qi used his ability to check and, sure enough, another school of Tuna was approaching.

However, the Tuna's size was much smaller than the Bigeye Tuna from last night. And there were clear Yellowfin markings.

"So it's a school of Yellowfin Tuna!"
