This fish is considered a premium sashimi in Japan, and in the hands of chefs in our country, there are no shortage of ways it can be prepared.

The profit generated far exceeds that of ordinary seafood, and since Chu Mingcheng’s journey passes through Wen City without the need for shipping fees, these fish naturally become even more popular.

Other seafood on the ship have also nearly all been sold, with even the Spiny Armored Shrimp attracting interest.

With no shipping fees, most people are willing to try these unfamiliar delicacies.

If there were shipping fees involved, some would consider cost-effectiveness and the potential losses upon receiving their goods, among other issues.

With a notebook in hand, I listed all the seafood the customers wanted and also itemized the remaining catch.

There wasn’t much seafood left, which meant I could give some to relatives and friends when the time comes.

Upon closing the notebook and looking up, I noticed several thick lines on the fish finder, and they were displayed at the surface of the water?

Chu Mingcheng paused for a moment, surprised at his luck, could it be that he was about to encounter a large school of fish on his way back?

He immediately stood up, took his binoculars, and scanned for the fish’s location.

Then he saw a school of Golden Spearfish preying on the smaller fish trailing behind the Sea God, occasionally causing a splash as they hunted.

Unexpectedly, the Sea God had accidentally entered a fish migration route and attracted a school of Golden Spearfish.

Chu Mingcheng was overjoyed and quickly called for Jiang Luoluo, who was practicing her dance, to come over.

There was still space in the cold storage since the foam boxes could be stacked.

Additionally, the Bull’s Eye Green Mackerel placed on the outside were much smaller in size than the Golden Spearfish.

Once frozen into ice pops at ultra-low temperatures, Chu Mingcheng had taken the time to organize them into a small mound.

So, there was absolutely no problem with adding more Golden Spearfish to the cold storage; at worst, they could be stacked as well.

A fish weighing two or three hundred pounds couldn’t be lifted by an average person, but surely he could?

After waiting for only a few minutes, Jiang Luoluo rushed over: “What’s the emergency that you wanted me to come immediately?”

“A school of Golden Spearfish is following us. You stay in the cockpit to keep an eye on the ship, while I go fishing,” Chu Mingcheng instructed as he handed her the binoculars and pointed at the Golden Spearfish at the stern.

“We’re that lucky?” Jiang Luoluo took the binoculars, looked for herself, and exclaimed with surprise, “Then you should hurry up, I’ll stay in the cockpit.”

“Hmm.” Chu Mingcheng didn’t waste any time and immediately brought out the heavy trolling rod they had purchased but never used.

As for the fishing reel, he hesitated for a moment between the electric winch and the drum reel and eventually opted for the drum reel.

Though the electric winch made fishing much easier, with his own strength, using the drum reel with trolling was actually better for maneuvering.

After all, the Golden Spearfish trailing behind were not small, they were only smaller than the ones he had caught previously.

There was still plenty of bait in the cold storage, with the Mackerel bait hardly used at all, still weighing over seven hundred pounds.

The Squid, however, had been completely used up, and both live and frozen Spiny Pomfrets were gone; aside from being used as bait, the rest were fed to the sea lions.

Consequently, in the second live storage tank, there were Orchid Crabs totaling over a hundred pounds. Another hundred pounds or so were placed in two fish tanks, supplied with oxygen so they wouldn’t die for the time being.

However, for trolling at this time, Chu Mingcheng didn’t actually need any of these baits. He took out the Iron Plate Bait, which was the most suitable for the current situation.

He installed the heavy trolling rod into the rod holder, then attached the Iron Plate Bait and cast it into the water.

Upon loosening the line spool, the fishing line swiftly unspooled, releasing about thirty meters before he locked the spool again.

The Sea God continued to sail, and with the propulsion, the Iron Plate Bait, like a small fish, zipped along the water surface, instantly attracting the attention of many predators chasing the fishing boat.

The Golden Spearfish were much faster than the Sea God and, lured by the Iron Plate Bait, burst into high speed.

“Zzzzz~”

Suddenly the fishing rod bent sharply, and the reel made a straining sound as it was pulled.

The fish was hooked, and Chu Mingcheng immediately grabbed the rod with both hands to heft up the fish, then his right hand spun the handle rapidly.

In just a short while, a Golden Spearfish appeared on the water’s surface.

It seemed helpless, struggling to break free, but the Sea God’s thrust made it nearly impossible for it to steady itself.

Of course, Chu Mingcheng deserved some credit for this.

He rotated the handle, gathering the fishing line and preventing the Golden Spearfish from turning around to fight against the force; otherwise, pulling out several hundred meters of fishing line would be no difficult task for it.

The handle was actually hefty, and rotating it was not easy.

After continuously spinning for several dozen turns, Chu Mingcheng’s arms began to tire slightly, so he slowed down a bit, as the fish was nearing the stern of the ship.

The Golden Spearfish, hardly fatigued from being hauled in, flapped its tail vigorously and occasionally leapt, trying to use this to shake off the hook in its mouth, far from submissive.

Therefore, as it neared the stern, Chu Mingcheng first let go of the rod with his left hand, then grabbed the gaff nearby, readying it to extend outside the ship.

After preparing, his right hand exerted force again, continuing to pull the Golden Spearfish closer.

This Golden Spearfish was quite sizeable, and by his estimation, it weighed around a hundred pounds.

That was why he used brute force to reel it in, not too worried about the fishing line breaking under strain.

After turning the handle a dozen more times, the Golden Spearfish finally came within reach of the gaff.

Chu Mingcheng seized the moment, hooking the fish’s head accurately with the gaff.

The fresh blood of the Golden Spearfish burst forth, staining the white waves red and leaving behind a long trail of crimson foam.
