Chapter 316: Chapter 175: Giant True Sea Bream_4

Seeing the yacht approaching from the opposite side, Lin Yang and his companions were at a loss for words, but they were also powerless. After all, they couldn’t tell them to stop fishing here, plus even if they did, the others might not necessarily listen.

Just as the three of them decided to ignore the other party and continue fishing, one of the four bosses, Boss Lei, said to Lin Yang, "Hey, young man, how do you fish like that? Can you give us some tips? We can offer the fish we catch as a reward."

Indeed, for the four bosses, the catch itself wasn’t all that important; what mattered was the experience of landing a fish.

After hearing their request, Lin Yang pondered for a bit and then nodded in agreement, thinking there wasn’t any secret technique involved—anyone with a little understanding of sea fishing would know.

Under Lin Yang’s guidance from a distance, the four men began adjusting their fishing rigs, baiting, and casting, while Ah Jie listened and watched from the side. The more he watched, the more he realized Lin Yang was no ordinary fisher.

That was perfectly normal. He was only a fisherman, and even with decent sea fishing skills, he was far from a fishing master, let alone compared to Lin Yang.

Although sea fishing is different from freshwater fishing, much of the knowledge and techniques are transferable. As long as one learns to adapt them flexibly, a freshwater fishing master would be unlikely not to catch a fish even on their first sea fishing attempt.

At this time, Ah Jie stood to one side, ignored by everyone else. There was nothing he could do, as each of the bosses was a customer, and he was the one being paid for service. Considering his earlier attitude, he now regretted it so much that his guts turned green with it. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets, as the other four bosses were now preoccupied with fishing and no longer paid him any mind.

The four bosses deepened their fishing lines by about seven or eight meters, which was the depth Lin Yang deemed to have a higher probability of catching fish.

After five minutes of fishing together, Boss Lei, who had not been there for long, noticed his rod tip trembling.

"I got a bite!"

He was thrilled but didn’t forget the method Lin Yang had taught them; he quickly lifted the rod to set the hook, and sure enough, he felt a tremendous force from the rig—the fish he had hooked was clearly not small.

After reeling in some line, he started playing the fish on the deck.

While he played the fish for five or six minutes without bringing it to the surface, one of the bosses next to him also got a bite: "Holy shit, I’ve got a bite too!"

Meanwhile, Li Xiaopeng watched the lively scene on the opposite yacht, only to see his own rod tip begin to shake violently. He quickly lifted the rod to set the hook, equally ecstatic.

Soon, both yachts had scenes of people reeling in big fish.

After a struggle, the large fish underwater gradually surfaced, but unfortunately, this time they didn’t catch sea bream or grouper but the same species—sea bass.

Looking at the sea bass they pulled out of the water, it seemed each weighed over seven or eight pounds.

Although they were only sea bass, the fish still made the bosses extremely happy. At this point, Ah Jie suddenly became much more sensible and took on his role as captain, quickly helping the two men net their fish.

True to his profession as a fisherman, his netting skills were not bad, and he soon landed both fish on the deck.

Looking at the large sea bass they had caught, the two bosses were so excited, they couldn’t stop grinning, while sitting on the yacht and gasping for air.

"This is just too thrilling; catching one fish is even better than that one time, and more exhausting than that one time too."

"Hahaha, Old Lei, you’re just getting weak," replied one of the bosses, both of them overjoyed. At this time, the other two bosses had also hooked fish and were going through the exhausting process Boss Lei had described.

However, Lin Yang had now stopped fishing because he noticed that a sizable school of sea bass had arrived below some time ago.

Although sea bass weren’t cheap, selling for about 50 yuan a kilo, they were too tiring to catch, far less satisfying than sea bream and grouper.

After about half an hour of frenzied fishing, the four bosses opposite began to feel the strain on their bodies. Fishing is delightful but truly exhausting...

Captain Ah Jie noticed this and after thinking for a bit, he said to the four bosses, "Bosses, you’ve got plenty of Sea Bass already. Do you want me to take you to try something different?"

"Different?"

"Yeah, like Yellow croaker!"

"Ah?"

The moment they heard this, their eyes lit up, and even Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng pricked up their ears.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge about seafood has almost definitely heard of Yellow croaker, especially the wild kind, known as the ’gold bar of the water’, a golden legend. Just the name alone signifies its value and rarity.

For any fisherman or fishing enthusiast, catching a wild Yellow croaker while sea fishing is a story to boast about for a while. For these bosses, who were sea fishing for the first time, they had already had their fill of Sea Bass fishing. Now, if they could find a wild Yellow croaker, even just one, it would be worth it.

Upon hearing Captain Ah Jie’s suggestion to go after Yellow croaker, all four were filled with anticipation, yet also a bit incredulous.

"Captain Ah Jie, can you really take us to catch wild Yellow croaker?"

"I can’t guarantee it 100%, but there is a very high chance. That spot is a new one I discovered not long ago; aside from me, no one else should know about that location."

This time, Ah Jie was truly putting all on the line. He had stumbled upon that spot last time, discovering that it had Yellow croakers, but not many, and that fishing and catching them would be extremely difficult.

He had thought long and hard without finding an effective way to catch those Yellow croakers. The terrain there was complex, and nets were out of the question. The best option was to invite a master of sea fishing for help.

But since Yellow croakers are so precious, he did not dare to invite just anyone to fish. After all, a spot known for the appearance of wild Yellow croakers could definitely be considered a little treasure trove.

Seeing how serious Captain Ah Jie was, the four bosses looked at each other. The next moment, Boss Lei urged, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go, let’s go, let’s not waste any time!"

United in purpose, they set off under the guidance of Captain Ah Jie, their yacht heading toward an area of sea to the south.

Seeing this, Li Xiaopeng quickly asked Lin Yang, "Cousin, what do we do? Should we follow them?"

"What do you think?"

Lin Yang gave him an exasperated look—wasn’t that obvious? This was the Yellow croaker they were talking about. If it were true, catching just one would be enough to match all the fish they had caught that morning.

Hearing his response, Li Xiaopeng immediately ran off, giggling, to start the boat.

The drone flying overhead had also picked up everything said by the people below.

"No way, for real? A spot with wild Yellow croaker? Isn’t this a ticket to riches?"

"I’d say it’s probably a scam. Wild Yellow croaker aren’t that easy to find, and even if you do, they’re not so easy to catch."

"Who cares if it’s real or not, let’s follow them for now and see..."

The spot Captain Ah Jie mentioned was actually not far from where they had been fishing. After sailing for less than ten minutes, their yacht came to a halt.

Li Xiaopeng followed behind in his yacht and found a spot to stop as well.
