Chapter 372: Chapter 188: Back on the Shark_4

"Uh, this is not a dog shark, it’s actually a beard shark," Lin Yang spoke up.

Looking at the creature in the water that was at least a meter long, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited.

Sharks, in people’s minds, are always seen as ferocious and dangerous creatures, and most people prefer to avoid them at all costs, but this was the second time Lin Yang had caught one.

It should be noted that catching a shark is not an easy feat, especially here at the fishing raft, and he was using a rather thin fishing line, which required extra care as shark teeth are usually incredibly sharp.

Fortunately, he had a line protection buff, and the quality of the fishing line he used was also good, so the big dog shark didn’t get away and was swiftly netted and lifted out of the water.

Seeing him catch another shark, Yue’er and the others also gathered around, even Wang Feng, who had been fervently fishing, stopped what he was doing and curiously walked over.

"Wow, this is really a shark, Lin Yang bro, you’re amazing!"

Seeing the live shark right before his eyes, he was stunned. So sea fishing was this thrilling; even sharks can be caught.

"Haha, just a small shark," Lin Yang laughed.

At that moment, he was eager to check out the rewards from the pictorial guidebook, which displayed a reward of 2000 RMB, 20 experience and points, and 0.1 knowledge of aquatic products.

The reward was somewhat within his expectations, not particularly dazzling, but it was still a fairly rare occasion for rewards.

After placing the dog shark onto the net, Lin Yang removed the fish hook from its mouth, ready to throw the shark into the yacht’s live well as small sharks can be kept alive.

And watching him lift the meter-long beard shark, honestly, many fishermen’s eyes lit up with envy.

The Beard Shark from Japan, one of the eight types of beard sharks, mainly found in Japan, along the coasts of our country and some areas of Southeast Asia.

This species of shark is not under protection and can be consumed, but people generally don’t eat it often. It is mainly eaten in Japan, therefore, it is not farmed, and the catch size isn’t particularly large either.

In our country, this beard shark is referred to as a dog shark in some regions because its back indeed looks similar to that of a dog shark, and in other regions, it’s called a cat shark because its whiskers resemble those of a cat. Uh, although Lin Yang didn’t seem to notice.

Also, its price is slightly higher than that of a true dog shark, but only by a small margin, approximately selling for about 150 RMB per kilogram.

The one he caught now weighs around 20 kilograms, which means it could sell for about 3000 RMB. It’s no wonder the fishermen were so envious.

But for Lin Yang, the price of the fish was secondary; what made him happy was that it was a shark.

If it had been a big grouper that he had caught, he might have just glanced at it and then tossed it into the live well.

After carefully placing the shark treasure-like into the live well, Lin Yang resumed fishing along with everyone else.

Perhaps motivated by his catch of the shark, Wang Feng stopped fishing for big red drums in the cage and joined their wild fishing ranks.

The fisherman who had been fishing close to Lin Yang couldn’t help falling into doubt about his life again because his spot was just next to Lin Yang’s. Logically, it wasn’t possible that only Lin Yang kept catching fish while he hadn’t caught a single one.

This feeling of life doubt lingered for a long time, until just before noon, he finally caught a sea bass. After catching this one fish, he finally felt a bit better.
