As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 350 - Chapter 350 Chapter 283 Massive School of Fish

Chapter 350: Chapter 283: Massive School of Fish Chapter 350: Chapter 283: Massive School of Fish “So many yellowfin tunas, I really wish I could cast a net down there!”

Chu Mingcheng sighed inwardly as he continued to operate the drone.

After following for about another kilometer, he noticed a large swath of the sea surface had turned black, a swarming expanse no smaller than the scale of tens of thousands of dolphins and spearfish, indicating a super-large school of fish below the surface.

The dolphins were about to arrive, and since large whales hadn’t been attracted to the school, the area was still relatively calm.

Chu Mingcheng took this opportunity to lower the drone closer to the water to observe which type of fish made up the school.

He identified them as blue-striped snappers by the many jumping fish.

These were fish about the size of an adult’s finger, but there were vast numbers of them, filling the bellies of many marine creatures.

With a short life cycle and fast reproduction rate, coupled with Chu Mingcheng’s augmentation enhancer, it was guaranteed that other predatory fish would have a plentiful food source.

Having determined the destination of the dolphins and the spearfish, he immediately operated the drone to return.

Once the drone was back, Chu Mingcheng turned it off, carried it into the kitchen to set it aside, and then made a phone call to inform Chen Yang.

“Ah Yang, I found a large school of yellowfin tuna about three kilometers southeast of the boat, feeding. You should head to the wheelhouse now, and follow my boat shortly.”

Chen Yang was startled, “Holy shit, how did you spot them from so far away? You don’t have some kind of diving cheat that lets you find fish underwater, do you?”

“I have a drone, are you stupid or something?”

“Uh… I’m on it!”

After hanging up the phone, Chu Mingcheng shook his head and chuckled, “If you could guess my cheat, now that would be impressive!”

He hastily grabbed some western-style bread and prepared a large cup of milk before heading to the wheelhouse.

Starting the Sea God, the engine warmed up for a bit then headed straight towards the direction of the fish school.

While setting sail, he finished off the bread and gulped down the large cup of milk for lunch.

The White Dragon followed closely behind; in some aspects, those on board really had it easier than him.

A three-kilometer stretch was a short distance for the boat to travel.

Zhang Wei and Chen Yang, watching the spectacle of dolphins and spearfish feeding from the wheelhouse, were dumbfounded.

“Do you guys want to fish or angle? I suggest you just angle today, get more familiar with the feel of catching spearfish. After all, electric reels are not allowed in the fishing competition.”

“If you lose a fish due to poor angling skills, it will break your heart.”

“Oh, and you might want to catch some of those small fish in the water for bait, nothing beats them right now as bait.”

Chu Mingcheng suggested over the walkie-talkie from the wheelhouse.

Right now, they were not so concerned with how much money they could make, but rather with getting accustomed to the feel of catching golden spearfish–if they could rank in the fishing competition, that would be best.

But Chu Mingcheng only thought so; he believed that many skilled people partook in the fishing competition, and it would be difficult for them to stand out.

At least, the old hands who went out to sea often had an experience in finding fish that they could not match, even himself included.

Chen Yang acknowledged and immediately began preparations with Zhang Wei.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t idle either, changing into a wetsuit, donning a camera on his head, and holding a wooden spear in his hand.

Clearly, today presented an excellent opportunity for him, as he hadn’t encountered so many spearfish in a long time; he could have a blast.

Compared to other spearfish, yellowfin tuna had a very fast growth and reproduction rate.

All spearfish laid numerous eggs each time, that was the same for all types.

But yellowfin tuna grew much faster than the others, reaching two hundred kilograms in just three years. That’s a major reason why angling mostly targets yellowfin, as other spearfish couldn’t compete in numbers.

With his enhancer to support them, it was unlikely that the yellowfin tuna in the domestic waters could be fished to extinction.

Fully equipped, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water, not worried in the slightest about encountering sharks.

Within the East Sea fishing grounds, the chance of encountering a large shark had become exceedingly low, generally not something one would encounter.

With so many fishing boats, the area had long since lost the environment conducive to large sharks.

Moreover, even if there were still some adult great whites or tiger sharks and bull sharks lurking around, today was a day with tens of thousands of dolphins around–who would dare come close?

Upon entering the water, Chu Mingcheng was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

From above the water, you could only see a black mass; surprising sights were limited to various predators bursting through the surface. Below, however, was a luxurious feast of predation.

The countless dolphins were not fighting independently.

Each hunt was like a group of ancient cavalry charging under the leadership of the leader, repeatedly piercing the school of fish like sharp arrows.

The school of yellowfin spearfish also had their own method of operation; they didn’t charge at the school but roamed the periphery.

As the fish were scattered by the dolphins’ attack, the opportunity arose for them to feast.

Not only that, but a smaller cohort of rays joined in on the frenzy.

‘Smaller’ is relative to dolphins and spearfish; in reality, their numbers were also in the hundreds, with the larger ones being as big as a double bed and the smaller ones about the size of a basin.

Under the lead, they swooped through like airplanes, seemingly not fast, but each pass cleared a swath of the school.

Despite the multitude of hunters, Chu Mingcheng could barely see the edge of the blue-striped snappers in the water; they were dense and seemingly countless.
