Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 165 We'll definitely reap more rewards than him.
On the ship next door, the roar of the winch was deafening.
Chen Yongqiang controlled the speed of the winch, and the main line wound around the drum round and round.
Chen Yang held the long hook, with most of his body leaning out of the boat's side, his eyes fixed on the water.
"Here it comes!"
With a splash, a moray eel was pulled out of the water, writhing as it was pulled.
"This thing is disgusting." Chen Yang hooked the eel's gills with a hook and pulled it up onto the deck.
The moray eel writhed wildly on the deck, tangling several of the fishing lines together.
Wu Gang walked over, stepped on the eel's head, and deftly removed the hook with pliers.
"Stop with the wiring, just cut it, and hurry up!" Wu Gang shouted.
The two knew there was nothing they could do but continue collecting the rest.
Although Wu Gang had the help of a winch, he still had a lot of empty hooks, and he could catch a fish with about three or four hooks.
But they were moving so fast that the fish baskets on the deck were soon half full.
On Wu Sui's side, the scene was a bit frightening.
Wang Dazhu kept pulling the main thread, his hands never stopping.
"Brother Sui, Brother Lei, hurry, they're here again!"
Wu Sui held the pliers, and Wu Lei held the net; the two worked together seamlessly.
The water broke open, and a perfectly round blue stone slab was pulled up.
"Goodness, this grouper must weigh five or six pounds." Wu Lei scooped it up with a net and carried it onto the deck.
Wu Sui went up and removed the hook, then casually kicked the fish to Wu Lei.
Wu Lei took the air release needle, turned around, and threw it into the live water tank.
Before Wu Lei could even turn around, Wang Dazhu started calling out again.
"Hey, hey, this one's strong."
The fish underwater were desperately trying to dive down, making the main line creak and groan.
"Hold on, don't pull too hard, let it slide for a while," Wu Sui reminded him from the side.
Wang Dazhu let out a little line, and when the fish's strength waned, he pulled it back sharply.
After several rounds, a large red sea bream with a completely reddish body was pulled out of the water.
"Goodness, this red snapper must weigh at least ten pounds." Wu Lei's eyes widened in surprise.
The red sea bream splashed around in the water, spraying water all over the three of them.
When the fish were thrown into the live water tank, Wu Lei exclaimed in amazement.
"Ah Sui, did you cast some kind of spell on these longline fishing rods you picked?"
Wu Sui wiped his sweat and laughed, "Brother Lei, you're being superstitious. This is called skill, don't you understand?"
"I've been sailing for over ten years, and I've never seen anything this strange."
"Every pull is accurate, not a single empty hook, and they're all high-end stuff!"
Indeed, the longline fishing on the new boat seems to have eyes.
The fish that come up are either grouper or red sea bream, with a few large mackerel and red snapper mixed in occasionally.
Those worthless small fish were nowhere to be seen.
The fish in the live water tank were rising at a visible rate.
Wang Dazhu was sweating profusely, but the smile on his face never stopped.
"Brother Sui, I've never pulled such a cool line in my life."
"If it feels good, poop as much as you want! I'll let you poop your fill today!"
Wu Sui lifted his clothes, wiped the sweat from his brow, and turned to look at the next room.
The two ships were not far apart, only a few dozen meters apart.
I could hear everything that was happening on my older brother's side.
Wu Gang stood on the ship's side, watching Wu Sui pull up one big fish after another, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"What's the situation with the second brother? Why are all the items valuable?"
Chen Yang peeked out and said sourly.
"Brother, my brother-in-law's side is definitely not as fast as ours. We have a winch, while they're relying entirely on manual labor. They'll be exhausted."
Upon hearing this, Wu Gang's competitive spirit immediately flared up.
"Yongqiang, turn the machine up to the maximum speed, and hurry up!"
"Okay!"
The winch roared even louder as the main line rapidly retracted.
"Big brother, look at this one." Chen Yang hooked the hook and pulled up a sea bass weighing seven or eight pounds.
He deliberately held the fish high and shouted towards the new boat.
"Brother-in-law, look at our sea bass, isn't it big?"
Wu Sui heard the shout, turned around, and laughed.
He casually picked up the bruise he had just removed.
"Xiaoyang, look what this is?"
Chen Yang was immediately deflated upon seeing this.
Although sea bass are large, their price is far lower than that of grouper.
"Brother, my brother-in-law is making me angry with the grouper."
Wu Gang slapped Chen Yang on the back of the head: "If you're angry, then poop out more good stuff. Did you not wash your hands after peeing? Why are you only pooping out worthless stuff?"
Chen Yang felt incredibly wronged.
Who can he complain to about his bad luck?
The two sides are now locked in a fierce competition.
You pull a big mackerel, I pull a red snapper.
You pull up a black sea bream, I pull up a red sea bream.
The sea was filled with shouts, laughter, and curses from both sides.
"Dazhu, put in some effort, don't let Gang Ge and the others look down on us." Wu Lei chimed in as well.
Wang Dazhu gritted his teeth and swung his arm rapidly.
"Don't worry, Brother Lei, my strength is definitely no less than that broken machine."
Although the new ship relied on manpower, under Wang Dazhu's burst of energy, its speed was no slower than that of the old ship.
The main problem is that the catch rate is too high, and the live water tank is almost full.
Wu Lei looked at the crowded live water tank with some concern.
"Ah Sui, there are too many fish. Our live water tank probably can't hold them all."
Wu Sui glanced at the fish on the deck that hadn't yet been put into the live water tank and frowned.
"Put the valuables in the live water tank and open the cold storage; put the worthless items in the cold storage."
"Alright, that's the only way."
Although Wu Lei was reluctant, there was no other way now.
Time passed second by second.
The afternoon sun was so strong it could scorch your skin, and the sea temperature kept rising.
Everyone on both boats took off their clothes and worked shirtless.
But no one complained of being tired; their eyes were shining with excitement.
A total of 10 sets of longline fishing.
Aside from the group destroyed by the baby sperm whale, there are 9 groups remaining.
With the help of the winch, Wu Gang's speed was much faster.
I breathed a long sigh of relief as I watched the last set of longline floats being pulled up.
"Alright, that's a wrap."
Chen Yongqiang turned off the winch and plopped down on the deck, exhausted.
Chen Yang threw away the hook and leaned against the side of the boat, panting heavily.
"My goodness, this is even more tiring than working in the fields."
Wu Gang looked at the overflowing fish basket, his face beaming with joy.
"What's a little tiredness? Look at all this stock, this trip should bring in at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately perked up and moved closer to the fish basket to start rummaging through it.
"Big brother, our harvest here must be more than my brother-in-law's, right?"
Wu Gang proudly raised his chin: "That's right, we rely on machines, they rely on manual labor."
"Your brother-in-law is just lucky; he's hauling all expensive goods, and in terms of quantity, he can't compare to us."
He clapped his hands and walked to the driver's seat.
"Yongqiang, Xiaoyang, tidy up the deck, let's move over."
"Pick out the biggest fish, and we'll give them a good look later."
The two chuckled and began carrying the fish from the deck into the cabin.
