As a large fish surfaced, Old Lin's enthusiasm for fishing grew even stronger. Without needing Shi Tian's reminder, he quickly retrieved the Electric Reel that Shi Tian had given him and prepared to switch reels. When it came to sea fishing, using a shaking reel was simply too exhausting!
In fact, catching Tuna also required the use of an Electric Reel. Just like in North American Professional Tuna Fishing, they typically used large spinning reels that were designed for shaking.
"Xiao Tian, that fish just now had some serious strength! It nearly dragged me into the sea!" Old Lin exclaimed as he switched his reel, not forgetting to show off his catch to Shi Tian.
Sea fish are powerful, so one must be cautious. It's not just Tuna; many fish have significant strength. When dealing with spiny fish, you must be especially careful! You can swim, right? If you fall overboard, just toss the rod aside—your life is more important!
After reminding Old Lin, he switched to Xiao Gou and baited the hook with a piece of squid. Since there were Sea Red Spots around, he decided to search the seabed a bit more.
"Don't worry, I can swim! I've learned from experience this time; I won't let any fish drag me into the sea!" Old Lin replied confidently. "By the way, I saw you caught a fish earlier—it looked pretty nice!"
Hearing this, Shi Tian paused and turned to Old Lin, rubbing his nose in regret. "It can't compare to your Tuna; mine was only sixteen pounds. But at least that fish is worth a bit more—around a thousand bucks per pound!"
When Old Lin heard that Shi Tian's fish was only sixteen pounds, he felt a little better. However, when he heard about the price of a thousand bucks per pound, he was taken aback. Wasn't Tuna supposed to be expensive? By that calculation, the effort he put into reeling in his Dajinqiang wasn't even worth as much as Shi Tian's smaller fish!
Feeling defeated, Old Lin quietly moved over to Wang Ergou's side. He realized he had chosen the wrong person to boast to and thought it better to find someone from the Air Force to impress instead.
He hooked a live fish and tossed it into the sea. Just as he was about to speak to Wang Ergou, he saw Wang Ergou lift his rod—he had hooked a fish!
Sea fishing wasn't nearly as enjoyable as fishing by the river; if he had caught such a large fish by the riverbank, he would have tied it behind his old electric car and paraded around town. But here in the sea, they still had two or three days before they could return—what a torment!
By eight-thirty in the evening, after catching several Zhang Hong and a six-pound Sea Red Spot, Shi Tian informed Oka that it was time to head to the Oil Well; Head Brother was probably getting anxious!
With that command, everyone reeled in their lines. Shi Tian dashed into the kitchen to prepare dinner while Oka steered the boat toward the Oil Well.
When they reached near the Oil Well, Cong Jiang Qu Xing was already tied up at one of its posts. However, Mini Air Force couldn't get too close; Head Brother wanted to sneak aboard for some drinks without being seen. They could only anchor about a mile away from the Oil Well.
Before their boat even stabilized, Head Brother's small boat came over. For a bite to eat, Head Brother was quite determined; he even brought along several members of Cong Jiang Qu Xing—perhaps they didn't fully trust Shi Tian's cooking skills!
Climbing aboard, Head Brother asked Shi Tian for two bottles of liquor and stuffed them into his small boat's special compartment. He tossed a cigarette to the bro who was steering and waved goodbye as Bro happily took off with the small boat.
This time Head Brother had just switched shifts and hadn't had time to catch any fish himself; thus, he didn't bring any local specialties for Shi Tian.
The previous group on board had indeed caught quite a few fish but were heading back ashore now with their haul. There was no way they would trade their catch for just a couple of cigarettes and drinks like before!
"Ma Zong, how did you fare this afternoon?" Lobster quickly approached as several crew members boarded.
His day off wasn't easy to come by; he was on board with Zhang Junming's mission. If he could connect with Ma Zong for future deals, then Lobster wouldn't have to work this year—he could collect full attendance pay without clocking in!
"Oh! Long Zong! Not too bad; our boat caught three Tuna. How about yours?" Ma Zong replied proudly when Lobster approached him.
Three Tuna—one of which was caught using scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell! The three of them had managed to reel in two fish each; indeed something worth boasting about.
"We have more people here but only caught two Tuna—one of which is just a hand-sized gift!" they humbly replied while dragging Lobster into conversation about their afternoon fishing adventures.
This afternoon, we indeed only caught two Tuna. Old Lin's weighed around sixty to seventy pounds, while Oka managed to catch one that was about ten pounds heavier than Old Lin's. Once the fish were brought up, everyone started targeting the Sea Red Spot.
Shi Tian caught a sixteen-pound Sea Red Spot, and Wang Ergou also hooked one. Since we had Sea Red Spot, why bother with Tuna? The entire afternoon was spent with everyone fishing for Zhang Hong and Sea Red Spot, which was much more enjoyable than trying to catch Tuna.
I went to the kitchen to help out while Head Brother greeted me and then slipped into the cockpit. With a push on the throttle, the Mini Air Force took off again. We sped across the sea for half an hour before Head Brother finally stopped the boat and turned on the spotlight.
"Xiao Tian, where's your Rod? I’m going to cast a few lines outside!" After anchoring the boat, Head Brother ran over to ask Shi Tian.
"I'll go get it for you! Dinner is about to be served; why not wait until after we eat?" Shi Tian frowned as he opened his room and retrieved his Rod for Head Brother.
"There are a few Xiao Yu here; it won't be too late to eat after we catch them!" Head Brother casually replied to Shi Tian as he took the Rod and headed out of the cabin.
