Chapter 423: Chapter 304: The Fish You Bought Turns Out to be the Cause of Your Despair_3 Chapter 423: Chapter 304: The Fish You Bought Turns Out to be the Cause of Your Despair_3 It was already past ten in the morning, and he planned to go after lunch.

As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, the afternoon passed and Chu Mingcheng successfully caught three bluefin tuna, each weighing just over 200 pounds.

This time, it was a small school of six fish. He originally thought the tuna would be smaller, but to his surprise, they weighed more than 200 pounds each.

Unfortunately, after catching three, the remaining three were full and swam far away, and they were really fast; at least the Sea God couldn’t catch up with them, and there was nothing Chu Mingcheng could do.

Fortunately, the catch from last night to today reignited Jiang Luoluo’s hope for the championship.

On the other hand, at Chen Yang’s side, after sailing for over a dozen hours, they started to get busy when they stopped the boat at around nine in the evening.

They had arrived at the location mentioned by Chu Mingcheng an hour ago, but without sighting any big fish, they continued towards the boundary of the Public Sea.

Eventually, they were lucky enough to encounter a group of large fish.

However, their efficiency wasn’t as exaggerated as Chu Mingcheng’s; it took two of them alternating efforts for a whopping three and a half hours to bring up the first fish.

“Holy shit, a bluefin tuna!” The very tired Zhang Wei suddenly shouted with surprise as he saw the fish beside the boat, his fatigue instantly vanishing.

“Really?” Chen Yang had also hooked something big on his side and had just switched with Zhao Jun to take a rest. Therefore, upon hearing the words “bluefin tuna,” he immediately moved closer.

Those not familiar with these species could easily mistake a yellowfin tuna for a bluefin tuna.

But to those who regularly dealt with these fish, a bluefin tuna was instantly recognizable.

Once he confirmed it was a bluefin tuna, he hurriedly came forward to help, “Quick, quick, quick, pull the fish up fast before it gets away.”

After some hectic activity, they successfully brought the bluefin tuna onto the boat, and following the bleeding process, Zhang Wei couldn’t wait to hoist it up with the crane to check its weight.

“One hundred sixty-one pounds, I think it can sell for at least thirty thousand, not bad at all,” he remarked.

Chen Yang nodded, a smile on his face, “Indeed not bad, and if the quality is even better, it could sell for even more.”

Just then, Zhao Jun suddenly shouted, “Come help, I’ve got a bluefin tuna here too.”

Upon hearing this, smiles on everyone’s faces aboard the boat became even more apparent.

Regrettably, they weren’t cheating the game; even though there were plenty of fish here, by the time the sun came up and the school dispersed, the two teams had only managed to catch six in total.

Luckily, they were all bluefin tuna. The only disappointment was that none were particularly large, hovering around 160 to 170 pounds.

Even so, these six bluefin tuna could still fetch a nice price.

Over two hundred thousand for sure, and if they were lucky and had a couple of high-quality ones, they might make more from this catch than from their previous two combined.

After the fish school scattered, the crew, still longing for more, began to reel in their lines and clean up. Zhao Jun’s wife then came out to take over their duties, simultaneously telling them to go have breakfast.

However, after Chen Yang and the others went for breakfast, Zhao Jun’s wife suddenly rushed into the kitchen and said to Chen Yang, the captain, “Ah Yang, I saw a Japanese boat coming this way; could they be looking for trouble?”

“We are within our own national waters, not in theirs; it’s probably not likely that they’ve come to cause trouble. But let’s go out and see what they want anyway!”

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then dismissed the guess of Zhao Jun’s wife.

Uncertain about the other party’s intentions, they temporarily left their food and went up on the deck to check the situation.

But before stepping out of the cabin, he held back Zhang Wei, “Ah Wei, go to the wheelhouse. If they really are looking for trouble, just start the boat and get out of here immediately, and inform the patrol boats at the same time.”

Zhang Wei had no objections; he and Chen Yang were the only ones on the boat with driver’s licenses. In case something happened, he would be the one to sail the boat.

Once in the wheelhouse, he immediately started the fishing boat and then, through the window, he saw the Japanese boat.

An approaching fishing boat appeared, roughly the length of the White Dragon, with the national flag fluttering on top, clearly indicating where it came from.

After a little while, the fishing boat began to slow down and gradually approached.

Zhang Wei was somewhat reassured for the time being, because two of the other boat’s crew members were waving their hands at them from the gunwale.

There were also two crew members behind them, hoisting up a bluefin tuna that was more than two meters long with a crane.

From the wheelhouse, Zhang Wei couldn’t grasp their intentions; he could only observe Chen Yang exchanging text messages on their phones with the other party, feeling quite curious.

The exchange didn’t take long–just a brief moment.

Then, Zhang Wei saw the captain of the Japanese boat’s initially enthusiastic smile slowly fade away, after which he returned to the wheelhouse, started the fishing boat, and slowly left the area.

However, before the fishing boat had moved far away, he didn’t leave the wheelhouse.

A little later, Chen Yang and Zhao Jun arrived at the wheelhouse with unpleasant expressions on their faces.

“What did that Japanese boat want?” Zhang Wei immediately asked curiously as they approached.

“Selling fish!” Chen Yang replied, his face dark and his tone not very pleasant.

“Selling fish?” Zhang Wei was puzzled, “Japanese fishermen selling fish to our local fishermen?”

Zhao Jun responded to his query, “Some of the individual fishermen who come out to the Far Sea do trade with the Japanese fishermen, but it’s usually us selling fish to them, and the trade location is also typically in the Public Sea.”

“Japanese fishermen taking the initiative to come over to our side to sell fish is indeed something I haven’t heard of before.”
