325: Crazy pull of sea bream

"How much money? Just this one cast is over six thousand yuan? Oh my god!"

Liu Yan exclaimed in shock!

Although Yao Shanshan was curious, she had also been to the South China Sea to fish with Yang Qi and Bai Xue, so she wasn't too surprised.

Bai Xue then explained the information and prices of these fish to everyone, and they finally understood.

"I hope my cast has valuable fish too."

Liu Zheng, who was struggling to reel in his line, thought to himself secretly.

"Let's go, let's go make some money. Let's go fish on the other side. Hopefully, we can catch six thousand yuan in one cast too, hehehe!"

Bai Xue called out to Shanshan and Liu Yan to go fishing.

"Sister Yan, when you catch something, put it in this Live Well."

Bai Xue said to Liu Yan while pointing at a small Live Well.

She had discussed it with Yang Qi; the fish that Liu Zheng and his wife caught over these few days would be theirs to sell, as a roundabout way to help them out, since they were friends after all.

Liu Yan originally had no interest in fishing, but now that she saw Yang Qi catch over six thousand yuan worth of fish in one cast, she felt an itch to try it herself.

Yang Qi unhooked the four Sea Bream and tossed them into the Live Well; since they weren't in the South China Sea, these fish were qualified to be kept in the Live Well.

"Let's get it!"

He re-baited with Shrimp and cast his line into the water. Turning his head, he saw that Liu Zheng had also brought his fish to the surface.

"Yang Qi, how much are these fish of mine worth? Are any of them valuable?"

Liu Zheng turned and asked.

"One seven or eight-jin red seabream, one six or seven-jin oriental pepper seabream, and two Black Seabream. Not bad! Over three thousand yuan!"

Yang Qi looked and said.

"This is worth over three thousand yuan already? This... this..."

Liu Zheng was stunned into incoherence. Was it really this easy for fishermen at sea to make money?

"It's because we're lucky and ran into a valuable school of fish. Normal fishermen usually can't make that much money, and sometimes they even lose money on fuel when they go out to sea."

Yang Qi explained, fearing that he might give Liu Zheng the wrong impression.

"Oh, I see. Then let's take advantage of our good luck and catch a bit more."

Liu Zheng nodded, indicating he understood.

The rig sank near the school of fish and was once again met with a frenzied feeding.

This time, three Sea Bream bit the hook simultaneously: one Sea Bream and two spotted Sea Bream.

As Yang Qi lifted his rod to set the hook, they struggled fiercely in the water, churning up the spray.

Yang Qi gripped the rod tightly, steady as a rock, calmly and unhurriedly engaging in a fierce battle with the three Sea Bream underwater.

However, even three against one was useless; the three of them were simply no match for Yang Qi.

Before long, these three Sea Bream were pulled out of the water by Yang Qi.

After scooping them up with the Landing Net, Yang Qi immediately re-baited and cast his line again, busy as could be.

On the other side of the boat behind him, the fishing girl group led by Bai Xue frequently let out shouts of excitement as they hooked and reeled in fish; it was quite lively.

"Fish on!"

A loud shout came from Liu Zheng's side again.

"Mine too!"

Yang Qi smiled lightly and then lifted his rod to set the hook.

"Hehehe, three more spotted Sea Bream! And one oriental pepper seabream."

Hooking, reeling in, netting, unhooking, baiting, casting, and hooking again...

Just like that, Yang Qi didn't stop for a single moment. He maintained this rhythm and kept catching fish continuously.

Fishing until 12 noon, the bite never stopped, and Yang Qi didn't rest for a second.

Liu Zheng, this Angler, felt his arms aching and sore; he could barely lift them anymore.

He was currently holding a cigarette in his mouth, standing beside Yang Qi, rubbing his arms, and watching Yang Qi fish with a look of envy.

"Your stamina is really good. It seems like you aren't affected at all. I really admire you!"

"Hehehe, I fish often, so I've trained for it."

Yang Qi said while reeling.

Along the way, Yang Qi went to the Freezer Hold, grabbed a box of frozen fish, chopped them up, and chummed the spot for everyone.

Although the five of them had been catching fish non-stop all morning, in his Supernatural Ability vision, the school of Sea Bream hadn't diminished in the slightest.

On the girl group's side, only Bai Xue was still persevering; Yao Shanshan and Liu Yan couldn't keep going.

Although they were using an Electric Reel, they still had to swing the Landing Net, scoop up twenty or thirty jin of fish at a time, and pull them onto the deck; it was exhausting after a while.

However, after resting for a while, the two of them started preparing lunch.

Some of the Sea Bream just caught with the Electric Reel had died because they had swallowed the hook too deep.

Yao Shanshan took three or four different fish from the fish box behind her and started preparing lunch.

She also knew Yang Qi liked eating seafood, so she picked the ones that weren't caught often and tasted good to eat.

After resting for a while, Liu Zheng started fishing with the Electric Reel again. There was no helping it; standing next to Yang Qi and watching him catch fish non-stop was a kind of torture.

Although the Electric Reel was a bit slower at catching fish, at least he didn't have to reel in the line himself; just netting the fish made him feel like he could do it again.

After all, the harvest from one cast was at least one or two thousand yuan, which was something he hadn't dared to imagine before.

Even if he wasn't fishing for himself, but for Yang Qi, he still wanted to catch a bit more.

What he didn't know yet was that Yang Qi and Bai Xue weren't planning on taking his fish; they were keeping them separated so that when the time came to sell the fish, they wouldn't get mixed up.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Qi, it's time to eat!"

After a while, Yao Shanshan came over to call them for lunch. Only then did Yang Qi realize he was indeed hungry; he had been fishing the whole time and hadn't thought about it.

"Brother Zheng, let's eat first."

"Oh, alright, coming right away!"

Yang Qi threw the remaining fish chunks into his and Liu Zheng's chum spot, then together with Liu Zheng, they put the dead fish and the less valuable fish into the Freezer Hold.

The five of them sat down and began to enjoy the meal. Indeed, the fish they had worked so hard to catch themselves tasted fresher and more fragrant!

This was Liu Yan's feeling; after a morning of labor, it was truly tiring, but it was also truly satisfying!

"Little Snow, is it always this easy for you fishermen to make money? Thousands of yuan in one cast. I really didn't dare to imagine it!"

Liu Yan said to Bai Xue.

"Hehehe, Sister Yan, you might have misunderstood. Today, it's because we're lucky, and plus Yang Qi is good at finding fish, that we encountered a valuable school of fish."

"Usually, fishermen earn hard-earned money. Near-shore resources are becoming increasingly scarce. My family has been fishermen for generations, but my dad switched to doing renovations with some villagers a few years ago because he couldn't catch any fish."

"We only bought this fishing boat in partnership with Yang Qi about half a year ago. It's only better when we go a bit further out."

"There are even many fishing boats that lose money on fuel on a single trip out to sea."

Through Bai Xue's explanation, Liu Yan nodded:

"It's hard to do business in every industry now. In the small place where I'm from, there are few companies, and it's hard to even find a job. I originally wanted to open a small restaurant, but after looking into it, the difficulty was too great, so I gave up."

After finishing his meal, Yang Qi didn't join their conversation; the school of fish underwater was still waiting for him!
