As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 399 - Chapter 399 Chapter 293 The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing

Chapter 399: Chapter 293: The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing Tycoons_2 Chapter 399: Chapter 293: The Highly Regarded Sea Fishing Tycoons_2 The radio was silent, and all the Fishing Men who had planned to show off were now cursing in their hearts, “This damn Wang Lao Liu is really too much.”

He hadn’t spoken earlier, nor later, but chose instead to pop up just when they had almost finished reporting last night’s catches. If anyone had caught more than him, Old Six would definitely have been lurking and eavesdropping.

Hearing the sudden silence in the radio, Wang Lao Liu smiled smugly.

That Bluefin wasn’t actually caught by him, but by the fisherman he called Xiao Liu; however, it didn’t stop him from showing it off.

He had indeed fished last night, but he had been catching a different kind of “fish,” metaphorically speaking, so-called female internet celebrities.

These “fish” were easy to catch. A little teasing, and it would only take three minutes to hook one, and they could also be kept oxygenated.

Facing Wang Lao Liu’s bragging, the other competitors couldn’t do anything about it.

In this competition, since it was the total price of the catches per boat that counted, clearly the highest-valued Bluefin Tuna was key to winning.

After all, a large Bluefin Tuna could be worth more than a whole boatload of Yellowfin Tuna.

Wang Lao Liu’s three hundred and fifty-pound Bluefin Tuna might be something the other competitors couldn’t come across in a month.

The competition had just started, and the gap had already widened significantly!

But faced with Wang Lao Liu’s boasting, someone definitely wasn’t pleased and started to make snide remarks.

“The competition has just begun. The seventy-thousand-dollar Bluefin auctioned by the organizers half a month ago was caught by one of the competitors. Who knows, maybe he has already caught a five hundred-pound top-quality Bluefin by now.”

Everyone in the sea fishing circle naturally paid attention whenever a high-priced fish appeared.

Even if they didn’t pay attention, it was likely that someone in their circle mentioned it, and then the news spread.

This incident was known throughout the sea fishing circles around Modu.

So when someone brought this up, another person immediately chimed in, “That young guy seems really young. I remember seeing his fishing video online; he’s really impressive.”

“It seems like he owns the Sea God, just moored not far from me. His boat is a top class fishing vessel; if it weren’t for the organizers banning fishing in the Public Sea, his advantage would actually be huge.”

“That young guy is even better at fishing than hunting. If it were a hunting competition instead, we might not even stand a chance to win first place.”

“Yeah, no matter how expensive Bluefin is, it can’t compare to what he hauls in at sea.”

“Speaking of which, I always feel like the no Public Sea rule is a trap!”

“It’s definitely a trap, but who knows if the organizers will suddenly allow us to go to the Public Sea later? After all, there are not a few boats that can access the Public Sea this time, and the resources for Golden Spearfish in the East Sea are too scarce, without going into the Public Sea it feels like encountering a big fish is unlikely, which might affect the viewership rates.”

“Damn, you might be onto something there!”

“Right now, they’re probably trying to create a fair environment for the regular competitors! Once there are fewer boats, the competition won’t be as fierce, and they will share a larger amount of fish resources.”

“To be honest, this young guy must be from a well-off family, being able to afford such a top-class fishing vessel and also having such a beautiful girlfriend. He’s truly a winner in life!”

Those praising Chu Mingcheng weren’t really impressed or admiring, it was purely to make Wang Lao Liu feel less comfortable.

As for why they didn’t mention any famous fishing champions, it was because they didn’t take these so-called fishing masters seriously at all.

Everyone was a fisherman; who would willingly acknowledge someone else?

Just like those who fish with lures look down on those who fish from piers, and those who fish from piers also look down on those who use lures.

And Chu Mingcheng, a young sea fisherman, had gained a bit of fame in their circle because of that Bluefin Tuna.

But no one considered him a true competitor, so bringing him up to divert the topic and to put down Wang Lao Liu was the best move.

Wang Lao Liu clearly understood their intent, but his originally pleasant mood was thoroughly spoiled.

Knowing he couldn’t out-talk many voices, he kept quiet, starting to direct the fishermen on deck to fish, waiting to fish more top-quality Spearfish to properly shut these people up.

Chu Mingcheng, mentioned by these people, woke up around noon.

Despite having stayed up late and expended a lot of energy fishing for spearfish, his recovery was impressively fast.

In just about six hours, he had returned to his best form, feeling only a bit hungry.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo still deep in sleep, Chu Mingcheng quietly got up and left the bedroom.

After sorting out lunch, he headed to the cockpit.

He started up the Sea God first, then checked the fish finder, but unfortunately, the fish finder didn’t reveal anything special; he was obviously planning to leave the area.

During the few minutes waiting for the engine to warm up, Chu Mingcheng opened the fishing competition app and checked the latest developments.

Aside from information about several fishing boats dropping out of the competition, there were no other changes.

Clearly, the boats that caught fish on the first day had not yet returned; they would likely wait until their cold storage was full.

None of the competing boats had a larger cold storage than the Sea God, so it wasn’t likely they had filled up their storage just from last night and this morning.

Even if they came across a school of fish, the amount they could catch was still very limited. Last night, Chen Yang and his group, four people together, only caught four.

Chu Mingcheng, who was extraordinarily skilled, had caught only the same number, as catching spearfish was not an easy task.

For instance, in the fishing area where spearfish were abundant, fishing boats and vessels were still everywhere.

Many, like Chu Mingcheng and his crew, had been busy all night, then switched shifts to let the other two continue.
