As soon as Shi Chui heard that he was a friend of Shi Ye, he immediately became polite. After exchanging a few pleasantries, one referred to Li Ping, while the other called him Brother Shi. One patiently taught, while the other humbly learned.
"Brother Shi, I know this area well. Just follow my lead, and I guarantee you'll catch Dajinqiang! I'm quite good at catching this; I've frozen quite a few on the platform. Tomorrow, I'll bring you some to take back for your wife to try!"
"How can I accept your fish? They're valuable! You teach me how to fish, and once I catch one, I'll treat you to drinks! You can drink while you're out at sea!"
"Why are you being so polite with me? We all catch our own! Ye Ge and the others never hold back when they come over; they always bring a few back with them! I'll treat you to fish, and you treat me to drinks. Since I'm off duty tomorrow, let's enjoy a couple of bottles together!"
"Deal! I'll have Xiao Tian cook up a few dishes for us to enjoy with our drinks!"
Speaking of Xiao Tian's cooking made him salivate! It had been over half a month since he last tasted his dishes. Thanks to Brother Shi, he could finally satisfy his cravings!
Watching the two of them become so chummy, Shi Tian rolled his eyes at them and turned away, grabbing the Fishing Rod Holder and moving to the other side of the boat, preferring not to see or hear them.
"The weather's getting colder; let's fish deeper," Oka said as he set up his Fishing Rod Holder. Before casting his line, he turned to remind everyone, "First, let's locate the Fish Layer. I'll search from the bottom up; they’re fishing at forty meters over there, so you start from forty meters down. Dog Brother will handle anything below seventy meters, and Sister Lang, you take care of forty meters up to the surface. We still have nearly two hours left; let’s see if we can catch some big fish!"
The water depth here was around one hundred meters. The Fishing Spot that Pingtou Ge found was a bit deeper but only about one hundred twenty or thirty meters.
They weren't expecting to catch Tuna here; whatever fish they could get would do—this wasn't the time to be picky.
With two Xiaomis hooked up and the line released, they went straight for the bottom.
After reeling in two meters of line and giving it a jiggle, Shi Tian felt a tug—a promising start!
"Wow! Did we get a fish already? Is it on?" Shi Tianyi exclaimed as he reeled in while Sun Lang stared in disbelief. What kind of luck was this?
"It’s on the bottom; let’s see what we’ve got!" A fish from over one hundred meters deep didn’t need any niceties; he pushed the Electric Reel all the way down!
There was some resistance—not too big—likely a Shi Ban! Watching Shi Tian's reeling speed made Oka sigh in admiration.
This resistance definitely wasn’t from a Tuna; if it were a Tuna living at over one hundred meters deep, it would weigh at least a hundred pounds. In that case, he wouldn’t just be reeling it in now—he’d probably have already let out over a hundred meters of line.
Why do those fishing for Tuna like heading towards Xisha? Because of the deeper waters there. Young Tuna prefer to swim near the surface but dive deeper as they mature.
As the line came up, the Yu Jing on the Hook stopped struggling. Bringing up a fish from over one hundred meters deep at such speed would be miraculous if it were still lively!
"A Red Gourd Fish! What a good catch!" Shi Tian quickly shouted as he held up the Bait Cage. "Let’s get back down there!"
A Red Spotted Grouper weighing around a pound came up next. Shi Tian hurriedly exclaimed.
Red Spotted Groupers don’t grow large; weighing around a pound is considered big for them—reaching that weight is quite rare. Catching a pound-sized Red Gourd Fish on the first line was indeed a significant gain.
Red Gourd Fish are social creatures, so there must be more below. Taking advantage of their willingness to bite, they quickly aimed to catch another wave!
The price for Red Gourd Fish is quite appealing; farmed ones go for several dozen each while wild ones can fetch several times that amount—much better than Eastern Star Groupers which have been protected and are no longer allowed to be caught. The ones on the market are either farmed or imported.
The four of them placed the hook down, while Shi Chui began to feel conflicted. Xiao Yu, lacking a sense of touch, urged them to continue. "Only by holding steady can we catch the big fish!" Seeing Shi Chui's resolve wavering, Pingtou Ge immediately offered encouragement.
With a bite of Soul Food, Shi Chui forced himself to refocus. "Yes! We are fishing for big fish! We won't get distracted by those Bai Tiao!" As soon as he said that, Shi Chui felt his determination strengthen. His target was Tuna; he had promised Yun Wan'er before setting out that he would catch one and bring it back as a gift for her!
"Got one!" Wang Ergou shouted, and Shi Chui couldn't help but glance back, then quickly turned his head away again. "Xiao Yu! What are you doing over here? We need to focus on the big fish!" After reassuring himself, Shi Chui couldn't resist letting out twenty meters of line before slowly reeling it back in.
