Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1624 There will be even bigger fish!
Five o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou squatted on the deck, each holding a large iron basin filled with rice. In front of them were three large iron basins: one containing large, fatty chunks of pork belly, another containing large pieces of chicken, and the last containing a pot of boiling soup made from the head of a sea bass.

The large fishing boat was rocking quite a bit, and every now and then some of the fish soup in the large iron basin would spill out.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou ate very quickly, stuffing pieces of meat into their mouths and mouthfuls of rice into their mouths, swallowing hard. When they couldn't swallow anymore, they would drink a sip of soup.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua were somewhat dumbfounded.

What does it mean to wolf down food?
Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou are eating like wolves at this time of year.

"Is it really possible to be this hungry?"

"Is this food really that delicious?"

Wu Weimin couldn't help but swallow.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou watched as they ate heartily, finding it truly delicious.

"These are all sea bass weighing over 30 pounds each. Zhao Dahai and his team have been fishing for so long and have put in a lot of effort. They must be very hungry."

"When you're hungry, everything tastes delicious!"

"But then again."

"Zhao Dahai and the others ate way too much, and just like you said, it looked so delicious to see them eating like that."

"If you don't eat like this, you simply can't hold on."

Like Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua couldn't help but swallow hard.

"How many fish did Zhao Dahai and his crew catch? Were both speedboats completely full? That must be five or six thousand catties of fish!"

Gao Zhicheng pointed to Ding Dawen, who was busy directing people to hoist sea bass from the speedboat onto the large fishing boat.

When he woke up, he found that Zhao Dahai had taken Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin and Lei Dayou out fishing in a speedboat, and they had already returned with the speedboat full of fish and were now unloading them.

"It's definitely going to weigh five or six thousand jin!"

"There must be this many fish. I estimate there must be seven or eight thousand catties."

"Zhao Dahai and his friends are fishing way too fast. Their hands and feet are really something else, and their strength is truly amazing."

Wu Weimin was extremely impressed.

Even if other people really encountered such a school of fish, they wouldn't be able to catch so many fish in such a short time.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou were incredibly fast.

"Have you noticed something? The fish that Zhao Dahai and his team caught are a bit bigger than the ones they caught at the beginning."

Gao Zhicheng kept his eyes on the sea bass being hoisted onto the large fishing boat. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but he soon noticed that these fish were indeed larger than the ones he had caught earlier.

"Really? A sea bass weighing around 35 or 36 pounds is already considered very large. Are there any bigger ones?"

Wu Weimin was a little incredulous. He immediately turned his head to look and immediately noticed that the sea bass that were being caught and put into the net bag were definitely much larger than thirty-four or thirty-five kilograms.

Wu Weimin was a little incredulous, so he immediately went over to take a closer look and found that it was indeed true, definitely weighing more than 34 or 35 kilograms.

"Lin Zuhua! Gao Zhicheng!"

"Some of these sea bass are already over forty pounds each!"

Wu Weimin walked back to Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua, his eyes widening as he spoke.

"About 10% of the sea bass are over 40 pounds, and sometimes we can catch sea bass that weigh around 45 pounds."

Zhao Dahai quickly finished his meal, filled half an iron basin with soup, and while drinking it, he turned to talk to Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua.

"Is it this big?"

Gao Zhicheng was startled.

Let alone a sea bass weighing forty pounds, even a sea bass weighing ten pounds or so is already considered very large.

It's already quite an achievement to catch a sea bass weighing over ten kilograms here, but what's unexpected is that these sea bass are getting bigger and bigger. As I just mentioned, there are even some that weigh over forty-five kilograms.

Gao Zhicheng has been fishing at sea for many years, and it is very rare to see a sea bass weighing 40 jin (20 kg). Most of the time, you have to go to the deep sea to have a chance. But this is not the deep sea. It is just an artificial reef that is a bit far away.

Its size is truly astonishing.

"I don't know where these sea bass came from, but their heads are really big."

"It's extremely difficult to pull it up!"

"If you want to catch fish like this, you really need to be mentally prepared!"

"It really is like a small tractor!"

While gulping down his soup, Zhao Dahai reminded Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua.

A sea bass this big is no joke.

The pulling force in the sea is very strong.

It was relatively easy for me to fish, but it was quite difficult for Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou.

If Kao Chih-cheng, Wu Wei-min, and Lin Tsu-hua want to catch such a large sea bass, they really need to think it over carefully.

Even a grouper of this size is difficult to catch using a rod on a gun mount, let alone a hand-held rod, where the person has to withstand the entire pull of the fish.

Although Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua are very experienced fishermen, they still have to rely on sheer force most of the time when facing such large fish.

Without sufficient strength, it's really impossible to do this kind of work.

Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and Lin Zuhua hesitated for a moment.

I've caught quite a few sea bass that weigh 30 pounds or 35-36-37 pounds. It's not that I have no interest at all, but I'm not particularly interested in them.

However, if it's a sea bass weighing over 40 pounds, I'm really interested. As soon as I confirmed this, I immediately thought about waiting for Zhao Dahai to go fishing at sea and then go on the speedboat to catch a few of those fish.

But talking about this now is really a headache.

Even a grouper weighing forty or fifty pounds would be a bit difficult to lift using the electric winch on the gun carriage.

But no matter what, you can use a gun mount to fish, which saves a lot of effort.

There's definitely no way to fish for sea bass with a rod holder; you have to use your hands and physically resist the pull of the sea bass.

This is no joke. The pulling force is truly astonishing. Or rather, it's not a big deal when you're catching one, but it's extremely difficult when you're catching two, and by the third, you simply can't pull it up. "Gao Zhicheng."

"Lin Zuhua".

What are your plans?

Wu Weimin pondered for a long time, unable to make up his mind, and turned to look at Gao Zhicheng and Lin Zuhua.

"They definitely wanted to catch a sea bass that weighs over 40 kilograms, but Zhao Dahai was right. They might not be able to withstand the pull of this fish."

Lin Zuhua hesitated for a moment.

I really wanted to catch a sea bass that weighs over 40 pounds, but the pull of a fish that big is really strong.

It's highly likely that Wu Weimin, Gao Zhicheng, and I won't be able to withstand it, and even if we do, we won't be able to withstand more than a few.

Zhao Dahai, Zhong Shizhu, Liu Bin, and Lei Dayou would only return after filling the entire speedboat with fish whenever they went out to sea to fish.

Once the group got on the speedboat, they had to wait until they finished fishing before they could all come back together.

Even though they're close to the big fishing boat, there's absolutely no way they'll come back early.

"Have you noticed that the larger the sea bass in the ocean, the bigger they are?"

"Who knows, there might be an even bigger fish later!"

Gao Zhicheng glanced at Wu Weimin and Lin Chuhua.

A sea bass that's only 45 or 46 pounds would certainly be attractive, but that attraction wouldn't be that great. However, if there's a possibility of finding a larger sea bass, or even other types of fish, then it's a different story.

Based on his years of experience fishing at sea, Gao Zhicheng knew that not only was such a thing possible, but the possibility was very high.

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua were stunned; they really hadn't expected this.

A sea bass weighing only 45 or 46 pounds wouldn't be very appealing, but if there are other large fish, that's a different story, and you really have to think about it carefully.

"Zhao Dahai".

"What do you think? Could there be other big fish?"

Wu Weimin thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't make up his mind. He turned to look at Zhao Dahai. This matter was not up to Gao Zhicheng, nor was it up to him or Lin Zuhua. Only Zhao Dahai's opinion mattered.

"Mr. Wu."

"Isn't what you're saying just stating the obvious?"

"Who can say for sure what kind of fish appear in the sea?"

"There are already sea bass weighing over 40 kilograms in the sea, and judging from the number, there are quite a few. It is very likely that other large fish will appear next."

"It's not unusual to find mackerel weighing over 100 pounds or even larger, or even a few mackerel weighing 200 pounds."

After finishing his meal, Zhong Shizhu carried a bowl of fish soup over, drinking it as he walked. He happened to overhear Wu Weimin's question to Zhao Dahai, and immediately shook his head with a smile. Asking Zhao Dahai about this kind of thing was useless, or rather, Wu Weimin could figure it out himself without even asking.

The fish in the sea are getting bigger and bigger, and their bites seem to be getting more and more ferocious.

This means that the current tides and currents in the sea are very good, and not only will large sea bass continue to appear, but there is also a real chance that other large fish will appear.

"Correct!"

"Mr. Wu."

"It's very likely that's the case!"

"No one can really say what kind of fish will appear in the sea, but judging from the current situation, it is very likely that large fish will appear."

Zhao Dahai thought for a moment and nodded very firmly. There really was a chance that other large fish would appear, and the chance was very high.

"The chances of it appearing are actually very high, it's just that there aren't many of those other big fish."

"But in the current situation, no one can guarantee how many of those other big fish will appear next time."

"Who knows, a group of large mackerel weighing over 100 or even 150 pounds might come!"

Zhao Dahai smiled.

No one really knows what's going on in the ocean, and it's entirely possible that something like what you described could happen.

"what!"

"If there were a hundred or so large mackerel weighing over a hundred pounds, that would be an extraordinary event!"

"If you really encounter something like this once, it will be the only time in your life."

Liu Bin finished the fish soup in his bowl, wiped his mouth, took out the cigarettes from his pocket, offered them to everyone, lit them, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

Having a good meal and a cigarette is pure bliss, better than being a god.

I need to take a short break now, and I'll have to continue fishing in about twenty minutes.

It's not unusual to find one or two mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms.

However, if a group of over a hundred mackerel, each weighing a hundred pounds, were to arrive, that would be truly extraordinary.

I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. And if I were to encounter something like this, it would only happen once.

"Zhao Dahai!"

"If that's what you said, then there's nothing more to say. Aren't we going to get on the speedboat?"

Gao Zhicheng couldn't take it anymore.

If Zhao Dahai now thinks so, it means that there is a real possibility that there are large fish, and the number of large fish is definitely not small.

Wu Weimin, Lin Zuhua, and I came here hoping to catch big fish; we absolutely couldn't miss this opportunity.

Wu Weimin and Lin Zuhua were initially hesitant about whether to go fishing at sea with Zhao Dahai on his speedboat, but after hearing this, they immediately nodded and made up their minds to go out to sea with Zhao Dahai.

"Mr. Wu."

“You really don’t need to come out to sea with our speedboat to fish. It’s completely unnecessary for you to do such a thing!”

After careful consideration, Zhao Dahai felt that there was no need for Gao Zhicheng, Wu Weimin, and Lin Zuhua to come with him on the speedboat to go fishing.
