Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Chen Yang cheered.

"Brother-in-law, I've caught a fish."

Wu Sui turned his head and saw Chen Yang's fishing rod tip shaking violently.

There are no electric reels available now; you can only crank them by hand.

Judging from Chen Yang's expression, he was shaking it quite hard. Unfortunately, it was late at night, and even with the boat's lights, it was impossible to tell what kind of fish it was.

Wu Gang put down his fishing rod and came over to lend a hand.

It didn't take the two of them long to pull up a stone sculpture.

"Wow, it's a stone carving, quite a big one." Wu Gang picked up the fish, his face showing surprise.

"Brother-in-law, I'm opening for business now, haha..." Chen Yang was extremely excited.

Wu Sui glanced at it and thought it was indeed quite good. The stone carving was thick and heavy, and this fish weighed at least three or four pounds, worth several tens of yuan.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang pulled too fast, and due to the water pressure, the fish's intestines burst out from its rear end, so it definitely couldn't survive.

This put Wu Gang in a difficult position. They had made a fatal mistake: they forgot to buy ice before setting sail.

These 12-meter boats typically have a live water compartment and a refrigerated compartment.

Unfortunately, there was no refrigeration equipment on board, so we had to buy ice at the dock.

"Second brother, this fish won't survive. We forgot to buy ice. What should we do?"

"Let's just steam it, since we can't take it back anyway."

Wu Gang felt a little regretful, as it was all money, but there was no other way to deal with it now.

The fish was thrown into a bucket to the side; it wouldn't die anytime soon.

Wu Gang gave Chen Yang a word of advice: pull slowly and don't use brute force. Then he sat back down and went back to fishing.

Over the next half hour, Wu Gang and Chen Yang caught fish one after another.

Wu Gang was lucky; he caught a red spot, but it only weighed a little over a pound.

Chen Yang caught another croaker, but Wu Sui's fishing rod didn't budge at all.

Fishing requires patience, but after waiting for almost an hour, Chen Yang had already caught his third fish, and Wu Sui was getting restless.

Just as he was about to give up on the blue dot and move to another spot, the slightly bent rod tip suddenly dipped down a little.

Immediately afterwards, the entire rod tip was pulled into an exaggerated large bend, and the fishing line rubbed against the guides, making a "hissing" sound.

"They're here!"

Wu Sui gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, exerted force from his waist, and suddenly yanked it upwards.

"call out!"

The drag force of the fishing reel was instantly released, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

The line was pulled taut, and the fish underwater was incredibly strong, desperately trying to dive to the seabed.

Hearing the commotion, Wu Gang and Chen Yang quickly stuck their poles on the gunwale and ran over to see what was going on.

"Brother-in-law, did you catch a big catch?" Chen Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes fixed on the taut fishing line.

Wu Gang also chimed in: "That's quite a bit of force. Be careful not to let it get stuck in the cracks in the rocks, or the thread will break."

Wu Sui remained calm, bending over and pressing the fishing rod against his thigh to withstand the impact of the large fish underwater.

When the fish lunges forward, he lets out a little line.

When the fish lost its strength, he quickly cranked the wheel to pull it back.

After several rounds of tug-of-war, the fish underwater had almost exhausted its energy.

Wu Sui increased the speed of the wheel.

A splash of water rolled across the surface of the sea, and a large fish was pulled out of the water, its white belly turned up.

With the help of the searchlight on the boat, the three of them were able to see what the fish looked like.

This fish is light brown all over, covered with black spots. The most peculiar thing about it is its head, which is pointed and looks like a mouse.

"A rat-spotted plant!" Wu Gang exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "This is a real treasure!"

Wu Sui grabbed the landing net next to him and scooped the fish onto the deck.

This rat-like creature weighed three or four pounds and was jumping around on the deck, splashing seawater all over Chen Yang's face.

Chen Yang didn't bother wiping his face; his eyes were fixed on the fish on the ground.

"Brother-in-law, is this fish valuable?"

"It's valuable, very valuable." Wu Sui squatted down and carefully removed the fishhook from the rat-like fish's mouth.

Wu Gang used a syringe to release the air from the fish and then threw it into the live water tank.

The mouse-shaped perch, scientifically known as *Hemiberlesia lataniae*, belongs to the genus *Hemiberlesia lataniae* in the family Serranidae, order Perciformes.

It is named "Mouse Spotted" because its head is long and its snout is pointed, making it look like a mouse.

Its flesh is recognized as top-quality among groupers, with very distinctive characteristics.

"This thing is an ambush hunter; it doesn't get much exercise, and its muscle fibers are very fine."

"Its fat is evenly distributed throughout the muscle like snowflakes, giving it a tender and smooth texture, almost like it 'melts in your mouth.'"

"The market price is several hundred yuan per kilogram, and one of these is equivalent to several months' salary for an average person."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang gasped.

One fish is worth several months' salary?

This isn't fishing, it's practically scooping gold from the sea.

"The price of the grouper is higher than that of yesterday's giant grouper?"

Wu Gang smiled and nodded: "Much higher. This big rat-spotted rat is worth twice as much as that grouper."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together, picked up his fishing rod, and looked on with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang could no longer sit still and turned to run towards his fishing rod.

A fish weighing three or four pounds can sell for over a thousand yuan.

If he catches ten or eight fish in one night, that would be amazing!

Seeing Chen Yang's excited expression, Wu Sui burst into laughter.

"Xiaoyang, how about we sell the fish you caught tonight separately? I'll give you half the money?"

He then turned to his elder brother and said, "Elder brother, you're the same."

"If we go fishing at sea in the future, whoever catches a fish can keep half of it, and the other half can be used as payment for the boat."

Chen Yang was even more excited: "Brother-in-law, then I won't be polite. Tonight I'm going to get a few big ones so my sister-in-law can see that I can make money too."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to run to his spot and put his hand on his fishing rod.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh".

The fishing rod stuck in the side of the boat suddenly bent downwards into an exaggerated U-shape.

Before Chen Yang could react, his hand slipped, and he instinctively gripped the fishing rod tighter.

But when he gripped the rod tightly, he not only failed to pull it back, but was also pulled forward by a huge force, with his upper body leaning out of the side of the boat.

Holy crap!

He screamed in fright, gripping the fishing rod tightly with both hands, half his body dangling above the sea.

Wu Sui reacted quickly, grabbing Chen Yang's belt and pulling him back forcefully.

The thing underwater was incredibly powerful, the drag of the fishing reel screamed wildly, and the line in the spool shot out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wu Gang rushed over and helped hold the fishing rod.

"Second brother, what's going on? He's even stronger than that giant grouper from last night!" Wu Gang gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

Wu Sui stared at the radar screen, his pupils suddenly contracting.

On the radar, a huge red dot is fleeing towards the deep sea.

Red dot?

This is the first time a red dot has appeared on the system's radar!

Wu Sui snatched the fishing rod and shouted, "Big brother, set sail and chase after them!"
