359: Snow White's Record

About an hour later, a Bigeye Tuna weighing around two hundred pounds was hoisted onto the deck by Yang Qi and Yao Shanshan.

The entire process of catching the fish was filmed by Wang Yan. Yao Shanshan immediately bled and chilled the Tuna.

Yang Qi then ran over to help Bai Xue catch that Bluefin Tuna.

"Xiaoxue, how is it going?"

"Hubby, I'm doing okay! Let me try first!"

Bai Xue said while panting slightly, controlling the fishing rod.

Yang Qi could understand Bai Xue's mindset; when Anglers encounter a big fish, as long as they can hold on, they all hope to catch the fish from beginning to end by themselves.

"Alright, I'll watch from the side for you. This fish might break your record. Take it slow, no rush!"

Yang Qi looked at the excited Bai Xue with eyes full of love.

As Bai Xue continuously pumped the rod, the fishing line was slowly reeled back in bit by bit. The line in the large reel finally recovered to about half its capacity.

After all, over an hour had passed, and the Bluefin Tuna's first burst of strength had ended.

When she had reeled in another three or four hundred meters, the Tuna exerted its strength once more.

"Steady, don't rush! We have plenty of time!"

Yang Qi saw that Bai Xue was a bit flustered and comforted her.

"Mhm."

Bai Xue loosened the drag switch a bit, using the reel's drag to wear down the Tuna. She engaged in a tug-of-war with the big fish, shaking her arms and moving her wrists whenever she loosened the drag.

After another hour or so, the Bluefin Tuna's struggling strength clearly weakened significantly.

Yang Qi grabbed a Fighting Belt and quickly put it on Bai Xue from behind. His movements were much more natural than when Yao Shanshan had put it on him.

He pressed his body close to Bai Xue's back, wrapping his arms around her waist to buckle it for her.

"It's your show now, take your time!"

Yang Qi stood by her side, cheering Bai Xue on.

"Wow, such a huge Tuna! Hubby, look, it's a Bluefin Tuna!"

As the giant Tuna surfaced, Bai Xue shouted excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Yeah, it's a Bluefin Tuna, at least 450 pounds! Xiaoxue, you're truly amazing!"

Yang Qi said with feigned surprise.

"Hehehe, right? Hubby, I caught this all by myself! Such a big Bluefin Tuna! Hahaha."

Bai Xue grinned and giggled at Yang Qi's praise.

The large Bluefin Tuna on the surface was pulled to the side of the ship, its large mouth opening and closing weakly, its fins twitching sporadically.

Seeing Yang Qi pick up the gaff to secure the fish, she hastily stopped him:

"Hubby, let me do it!"

Bai Xue took the gaff and fiercely gave it its final send-off.

This was also the result of Bai Xue's greatly increased strength after gaining her powers. If it were the old her, she wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long just now.

The display on the crane arm showed that this Bluefin Tuna weighed 487 pounds.

Bai Xue's hands trembled as she took the Bleeding knife from Yao Shanshan. Even though she was exhausted, she insisted on personally Bleeding and chilling the Bluefin Tuna.

Catching such a large Bluefin Tuna for the first time in her life was very commemorative.

It was understandable that she wanted to personally use the knife to bleed it.

A full-service experience, from start to finish, she participated and completed it herself—a perfect closed loop!

To be honest, it was already incredibly lucky for Yang Qi and the others to encounter two Bluefin Tuna in these few days.

After all, Bluefin Tuna are very rare in the South China Sea. It's possible they followed the ocean currents from the Pacific during a typhoon and then got lost, staying in this sea area.

"Hahaha! This is awesome!"

By this time, Bai Xue had already processed the Bluefin Tuna and sat on the deck, laughing triumphantly.

Her laughter was full of arrogance. Her originally flawless face was stained with quite a few blood splatters.

Yang Qi wiped her cheeks with a mix of amusement and heartache, then casually picked her up.

"You worked too hard! Do you want to take a photo with your big Bluefin Tuna?"

"Yes, of course I want a photo! This is my first big Bluefin Tuna! I'll develop the photo and frame it when we get home. Hehehe!"

Bai Xue tidied her hair and stood next to the Tuna, making a peace sign.

"Hubby, come over, let's take a photo together!"

Yang Qi obediently stepped forward and matched Bai Xue by also making a peace sign.

Afterward, Yao Shanshan and Wang Yan both stepped forward to get in on the photos.

Looking at the nearby seabed now, those two Bigeye Tuna had long since vanished without a trace.

But it didn't matter; the most valuable Bluefin Tuna had been caught, and any other Tuna would just be icing on the cake.

With the help of Yao Shanshan and Wang Yan, Yang Qi moved the two Tuna into the freezer. Then he put the Tuna's stomach, liver, heart, and kidneys into a large basin.

"You guys fish around here for a bit; I'll cook today."

Yang Qi spoke up.

"Great! We'll have to have a good taste of President Yang's cooking later!"

Wang Yan said with a smile, but before long, she still went with Yao Shanshan to help Yang Qi cook.

However, Bai Xue was excluded; even if she wanted to go, the others wouldn't let her help since her hands were still trembling.

"Wow, this Tuna stomach is so delicious! The liver is great too! It's so fragrant!"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, delicious!"

Yao Shanshan heartily agreed with Wang Yan's praise.

"Come, come, this Free-range chicken and sea snail pot is also delicious and nutritious! Everyone's been tired these past few days; nourish your bodies."

Bai Xue spoke up to invite the others.

"It really is good, so fragrant and fresh! My body feels warm after drinking it!"

Wang Yan said after taking a sip of the chicken soup.

"Hehehe, Great Beauty Wang, my hubby even invested in my grandpa and the others to raise a lot of free-range chickens. They'll be ready for market after school starts next year. If you want to drink it, just come to my house, and I'll make it for you!"

Bai Xue said to Wang Yan with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be coming over often to feast on you rich folks in the future. Just don't get tired of me constantly mooching meals at your house!"

Wang Yan also said with a smile.

"No way, we'll definitely welcome you with open arms! Hubby, don't you agree?"

Bai Xue said with certainty, pulling Yang Qi into the conversation.

"Yes, Xiaoxue is right. We're always happy to have Teacher Wang come over as a guest!"

Yang Qi also nodded and said with a smile.

The four of them weren't in a hurry to fish or travel, so they slowly enjoyed a rich lunch.

"Teacher Wang, I'll give you a 3% commission on this catch. You've worked hard these past few days."

Yang Qi took a sip of tea and said to Wang Yan.

"What? No, no! I don't want it! I didn't really help with much! I already got a free trip to the South China Sea."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan quickly waved her hands, her head shaking like a rattle-drum.

"Teacher Wang, listen to me. On this South China Sea trip, if it weren't for you and Yao Shanshan helping, we wouldn't have been able to catch so many fish!"
