Chapter 730: Chapter 306: Heading to Thailand

"Alright, let’s just leave this Bluefin Tuna here for now. We’ll stay here for another two days, taste the tuna after it’s marinated, and then head back,"

"Anyone who needs to leave urgently can go ahead. The club can take care of your share of the Bluefin Tuna. And really, we owe it to Master Lin for having such a big Bluefin Tuna. This trip was totally worth it!"

After settling the matters related to the Bluefin Tuna, the guide said to everyone.

The originally planned stay for today and tomorrow had inevitably been extended by a day.

Moreover, with the prior influence of ciguatoxin, this resulted in an extra three days over the planned duration of the trip in Australia. It was uncertain if anyone would have schedule conflicts because of this.

"It doesn’t matter to me—staying another day or two won’t hurt,"

"Same here,"

"Me too,"

"Though I had planned a meeting for tomorrow, encountering such a big Bluefin Tuna is rare. Even if it means taking leave, I need to stay here for another two days,"

Wang Meng, watching the Bluefin Tuna, also chose to continue his stay.

By now, everyone had returned to the dock. The data on the big Bluefin had also come in—it was a whopping 760 pounds!

Although it was less than half the world-record size that Lin Yang had caught last time, such a large Bluefin was still very rare, especially in the waters around Australia.

After discussing briefly, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

But since it was still early and Lin Yang felt somewhat bored, he went back to the dock.

When he returned earlier, he had seen a school of Big Sea Bass near the dock!

Watching Wang Meng hand-fishing Big Sea Bass over the past few days seemed pretty interesting, so he decided to give it a try today.

He even chose a time when the dock was less crowded.

After all, it was his first time; he was a bit nervous.

After first catching a small fish with a fishing rod, Lin Yang went to the area where the Big Sea Bass were roaming. Imitating Wang Meng’s actions from the other day, he held the small fish just above the water to attract the Big Sea Bass.

Of course, he was vigilant, his eyes constantly watching for any signs of movement in the water to avoid any mishaps.

Before long, a Big Sea Bass noticed the small fish in Lin Yang’s hand and leaped up toward it.

It opened its large mouth and aimed straight at his hand!

A fish mouth suddenly emerged from the water. Initially, Lin Yang was startled and instinctively pulled his hand back, causing the Big Sea Bass to miss.

"...."

This was an instinctive reaction, similar to pulling your hand back when someone chops at it with a knife, even if they assure you it won’t hurt.

After a moment of speechlessness, Lin Yang repeated his previous actions.

But this time, prepared mentally, he didn’t pull back his hand. Instead, he forcefully jabbed it into the open mouth of the Big Sea Bass.

His hand then passed through the gap beside the gill covers and bending his arm, he hooked the Big Sea Bass efficiently.

With a strong tug, he lifted the Big Sea Bass out of the water. No matter how fiercely it struggled, it couldn’t escape his grasp, like a feeble damsel, entrapped by Lin Yang’s hand...

Although the Big Sea Bass’s struggles were futile, during the struggle, the seawater and mucus inevitably splashed onto him, leaving a strange, wet sensation.

After satisfying his urge to catch Big Sea Bass by hand, it was about time, so Lin Yang returned to the hotel.

Over the next two days, the first day was still devoted to fishing, with various catches, though no significant big fish were caught again.

Therefore, even in a resource-rich place like Australia, catching a super-large fish was no easy task.

The next day, the group didn’t head out to sea for fishing. In the morning, they strolled around a local specialty shop. When the time was right, they headed to the dock, ready to taste the marinated Bluefin Tuna.

The Bluefin Tuna, having soaked in icy water for two days, didn’t appear much different from before, at least in Lin Yang’s view.

The task of slicing the fish was handed over to the captain, a long-time partner of the Global Fishing Club, well-versed in this task.

"This is the belly, arguably the finest part of a Bluefin Tuna,"

Said the captain as he cut two large chunks of belly meat and placed them on a plate by the side, explaining to everyone.

"Captain, please continue; we’ll start tasting now~"

Clearly, the guide was also accustomed to tasting Bluefin Tuna, having already prepared a bowl of soy sauce and wasabi. As soon as the captain sliced the prime belly section, the guide took a small knife and approached.

"Come on, everyone, try this. Freshly-slaughtered Bluefin Tuna—it’s incomparable to the ultra-low temperature frozen stuff from restaurants."

After cutting the belly of the Bluefin Tuna into thick slices, the guide invited everyone to savor the delicacy.

Actually, the most exquisite part of a tuna are the cheek muscles; however, the head and tail of this Bluefin Tuna were taken by the local fisheries department. Thus, the captain’s claim that the belly was the most exquisite part was acceptable.

Due to the lack of utensils, Lin Yang and the others simply used their hands.

As anglers, they weren’t too fussy about this. Besides, what’s a little dirt? Dirt don’t hurt.
