As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 322 - Chapter 322 Chapter 275 Grandpas Friend Needs to Replenish_3

Chapter 322: Chapter 275 Grandpa’s Friend Needs to Replenish_3 Chapter 322: Chapter 275 Grandpa’s Friend Needs to Replenish_3 I had initially planned to ask Chu Mingcheng to join me, given his good luck.

But I was delayed by some matters, and little did I know that this junior had quietly purchased a boat for the Far Sea.

Now I found it even more interesting and told him to make sure to notify me when he returned.

When the time came, I wanted to be the first to inspect the catch on Chu Mingcheng’s boat, eager to see if there would be any surprisingly good finds.

The sea eel had just been fished out and was already reserved, selling for three thousand wasn’t a problem.

Chu Mingcheng, satisfied, pressed down on its neck to remove the hook from the corner of its mouth.

He then picked up the sea eel and threw it into the live well, right next to the Spiny Armored Shrimp, taking up a small space for itself.

The sea eel, finding itself in a strange environment, was a bit restless at first, slithering around the live well like a snake, but after a while, it calmed down and lay motionless at the bottom.

Chu Mingcheng couldn’t be bothered with it and re-baited his hook with a small squid, continuing to fish.

Furthermore, to speed up the fishing process, he took out another fishing rod and equipped it with a different electric reel.

With two rods in the water, the chance of catching a fish was greater, and he could well handle both.

After a short while, he managed to catch a Leituo’s Grouper as well as a Gem Big-eyed Bream.

These were species unique to the waters around Treasure Island, not found in other domestic seas, and their prices were far from cheap, at least one hundred per pound.

If they could be brought alive to shore, the price would be at least two hundred per pound.

Unfortunately, both fishes were not very big, weighing only around three or four pounds each.

In the time that followed, Chu Mingcheng caught various deep sea fish from the waters of Treasure Island.

It continued until around nine o’clock when the efficiency finally slowed down.

And the last empty live well was now aerated, with more than ten deep sea fish slowly swimming inside.

Chu Mingcheng deflated these fishes, and as they seemed to be able to survive, he temporarily placed them in the live well.

Those whose stomachs had bloated to their mouths, had no choice but to be frozen.

However, these fishes were not very large, the biggest being just sixty to seventy centimeters long.

Luckily, there were no especially small ones, with the smallest being about forty centimeters, which was partly related to the size of the fish hooks.

More than twenty fish together might weigh over seventy pounds, and if they could all survive, they might sell for over ten thousand.

Moreover, these fish were free from ciguatoxin and safe for consumption.

But after nine o’clock, the efficiency of catching fish significantly dropped.

It was possible that the school had dispersed since the fishing light had been in the water for several hours, and Chu Mingcheng decided to check the fish finder in the pilot house to see the situation.

Upon seeing two thick red lines on the fish finder and their position at sixty meters in the water layer, his face lit up with joy.

The fishing light was placed at sixty meters depth, clearly there were two large fish attracted by the light down there.

Considering the phototaxis of species, these two were very likely to be tuna.

Chu Mingcheng, who was about to rest if there were no more fish, hurried out of the pilot house, grabbed the heavy fishing rod to replace the electric reel, and then cast a fresh, lively Spiny Pomfret into the water.

The weight of the sinker made it nearly impossible for the Spiny Pomfret to swim, but the vigorous flicking of its tail proved it was still alive.

Moreover, this type of injured fish is more likely to attract predatory fish.

He then moved the squid back to the refrigeration chamber, took out some leftover mackerel from the morning, not worrying about thawing, and swiftly chopped them with a butcher’s knife into pieces before tossing them into the water.

The chunks of fish thawed rapidly as they descended, and whether or not the big fish would eat them, at least the sinking process had already drawn the attention of the two big fish below.

As they approached, they instantly shifted their attention from the chunks of fish to the wounded Spiny Pomfret.

The shadow rushed forward, and the gaping jaw swallowed the Pomfret without hesitation.

“Zi zi zi…” The fishing rod on the boat instantly bent down, and the commotion made Chu Mingcheng stop throwing more fish pieces and quickly grabbed the fishing rod for a strong lift.

He was just in the right spot at the stern for the hook set, so it was very timely.

If he had still been chopping mackerel, then his timing would have been late, and it would have been down to luck whether he hooked the fish.

After hooking the fish, Chu Mingcheng quickly removed the rod from the rod holder.

Angling the rod to his left side, and lowering his center of gravity, he pulled with force: he wanted to first gauge the size of the fish before deciding how to reel it in.

If it was the size of the tuna caught in the morning, then he would stand and reel it in quickly with brute force.

After all, it was already past nine at night, quite late.

If it was particularly large, then he would take his time and sit down in the chair, regardless of how late it was because it would be worth it.

However, the fish’s sudden burst of power almost made him lurch forward, narrowly avoiding a collision with the boat’s gunwale.

Fortunately, Chu Mingcheng was strong, and he quickly steadied himself after reacting.

The fishing rod bent even more, and for a moment, he couldn’t turn the handle, but his eyes shone brightly.

This feel and power, it seemed no smaller than the Southern Bluefin Tuna he had caught in the South Sea before!

Even if it were the cheaper yellowfin, with this kind of strength, it must weigh at least three hundred pounds, which could fetch at least fifteen thousand.

Of course, with this much power, it definitely couldn’t be longfin tuna; that kind of tuna tops out at one hundred fifty pounds.

After a brief standoff, the large fish at the bottom sensed the pain in its mouth and the enormous force coming from above.

It instinctively started thrashing its head, trying to spit out the foreign object in its mouth.

But Chu Mingcheng yanked upwards on the rod sharply and pulled the handle, feeling the line was about to snap before he eased off the handle slightly.
