Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 590 The Lightning-Fast "Shandong Golden Spear"

Qin Dahe is still putting up a fight; just reeling in the line will probably take two hours.

You have to slow down after pulling it up every few dozen meters, otherwise your back will hurt. You need to practice some kind of virginity training to do this.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lu, number 8, for catching a bluefin tuna weighing over 150 pounds."

A sudden horn blare drew everyone's attention.

"There really are bluefin tuna?"

"Yeah, we just caught a big-eyed golden tuna."

Wow, this is a big shipment!

Even Boss Li was surprised.

So far, we've seen skipjack tuna, golden tuna, bigeye tuna, barracuda, and even a giant manta ray.

It's quite rare to find bluefin tuna among such a chaotic school of fish.

"I guess this river is the same; it's incredibly powerful."

"Oh right, it's been over an hour and the line still hasn't been pulled back." Everyone suddenly turned their attention to this.

Qin Dahe forced a smile that looked like he was about to cry, but he didn't dare to say a word. This fish was a bit too fierce; it had just jumped up again.

I dare not lock the drain, but if I don't lock the drain line, it won't come back. I can only take it slowly for now.

I just tried the release lockout briefly, and it actually lifted me into the air. If it weren't for the rope behind me, I would have flown out.

Fishing for these damn big fish is a real ordeal.

But no matter how difficult it is to catch, he still has to get it. He even asked his partner to turn on the video camera and hang it behind him to film the whole process of reeling in the fish.

The arc of the mast was astonishing, making one worry that it might explode at any moment. The thirty kilograms of drag were pulled again for a while, but it quickly subsided.

Now, even the fiercest fish needs to catch its breath.

It's a pity that its internal organs didn't burst out; the fish swam up on its own, otherwise it would have been much easier.

Once the internal organs burst, the line is retrieved at a constant speed, and the job is done.

The loudspeakers around were blaring from time to time, and suddenly a figure rushed out of the water on the right and then disappeared back under.

"Whose fish was that just jumping around?" Boss Li suddenly asked, frowning.

"Oh my, Uncle Li, what's wrong?" Wah-jai was a little confused.

"Cut the line, don't fish for this big marlin anymore."

"Oh."

Boss Li was his elder, and he listened to him this time. Before he could even cut the line, a big fish came speeding towards the fishing boat.

"Squat down, quick." The waiter skillfully used an empty transfer box to block Qin Dahe, who was reeling in a fish.

"What's going on?" Before he could finish speaking, the big fish leaped into the air and then plunged onto the foredeck.

Unfortunately, the foredeck was made of steel, so the puncture didn't go through, and it crashed directly into Uncle Qing.

Upon seeing this, Boss Li quickly got up and covered the fish with a large transfer box.

"Pfft, we have sailfish!" He fiercely grabbed the "long sword" from the fish's head and chopped it off with an axe, and the people on the boat breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Dahe panicked for a moment too; he would be devastated if he had gotten the fish away.

I glanced at the swordfish on the deck and realized it was a "Shandong Golden Tuna".

The Shandong giant tuna is actually the marlin, also known as the swordfish, which has a sharp sword-like appendage on its head.

Qin Dahe had seen the information about this thing before and recognized it at a glance.

"Nobody's going to eat it, should we chop it up?" Boss Li said irritably.

This thing travels at nearly 200 kilometers per hour and is quite heavy; it even dented the deck.

If I had bumped into someone, a broken rib would have been the least of my worries; a moment's carelessness could have cost me my life.

"Chop it up," Hua Zai said regretfully, "this one weighs nearly 100 pounds."

If it were tuna, it would cost at least three or four thousand yuan.

After the marlin incident, another bluefin tuna weighing over 80 pounds was caught at the stern.

"Dahe, hurry up!" the crowd urged.

This bastard took almost two hours to load the big truck. "I wish I could take a break," Qin Dahe said, panting.

The guy even came over and fed him a sip of water.

Not only should you slow down when fishing, but you should slow down too. Every time you reel in the line, you should use your waist to lift the fishing rod up a bit.

It was already 10:30, and only 400 meters of fishing line had been reeled in, leaving about 300 meters remaining.

"Is it any good? If it can't handle it, let me take over." Boss Li curled his lip.

"Almost there, almost there." The fish was struggling much less, only being dragged a little over a meter at most each time. We should be able to handle it.

After resting for a while, I rallied and started reeling in the line. I figured I'd ruined one fish for the day, but I was still satisfied.

Seeing that he was moving faster and faster, the man started preparing the sampan so that he could go down below to fish and pull them up with a rope.

This fish must weigh over 200 pounds; it might need to be hoisted up by a crane.

As I pulled in the remaining 300 meters faster, I occasionally heard slight vibrations, probably because the fishing line had rubbed against other fish.

"Damn, it really is a bluefin tuna."

"This one's almost two meters long, isn't it?"

"If it were brought up online, this one alone could fetch 100,000 yuan," Boss Li said regretfully.

After three hours of fishing, too much meat was burned; at most, it could be sold for around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, which is far too little.

He personally operated the crane, lowered the rope, and the two men began tying up the fish.

After the ropes were secured, as the crane slowly rose, Qin Dahe mustered his strength and began taking pictures with his digital camera.

They also asked Uncle Qing to take a photo with the tuna.

He definitely couldn't lift this thing, so its suspended position is pretty good.

"Taller than you." Andy Lau was so envious his penis turned purple. It looked to be about two meters tall, and its massive size was awe-inspiring.

This was caught by one person, that's incredibly impressive.

Everyone had the same thought: No wonder this person was able to create a fishing tackle company, he's amazing.

"We're weighing the fish! Everyone, make way!" Boss Li called out, and began operating the crane to lift the fish into the transfer box.

It would be ridiculous if this thing hit someone.

"How heavy is it?"

"274!"

"Sharp, the biggest one."

Mr. Li was not surprised by the weight. He had spent more than three hours and cast over 700 meters of line. Normally, the fish would have been thrown away long ago.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin in position number five for catching a 274-pound bluefin tuna. Let's give him a round of applause."

A round of applause erupted from the boat, a sign of approval for his manual fishing of the giant fish.

Qin Dahe was quite satisfied. He didn't plan to sell the whole fish; he'd rather take the best parts home and enjoy them.

"Hurry up and deal with it, before it burns to ashes."

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately took action.

The gills and tail were cut open, and two cuts were made on the back. Then ice and seawater were poured in.

After three hours of exercise, the fish has accumulated a lot of lactic acid inside; if it's not treated soon, it will be ruined.

The blood is drained to cool it down, then it is cut and frozen at ultra-low temperature. It can only be eaten after it thaws.

Moreover, according to the waiter's description, the meat on the back was the most severely burned and therefore considered substandard.

At most, about 100 pounds of edible meat can be extracted from the whole fish.

"It's okay. Later, please store the belly, brain, and eye socket meat separately, and cut the fish fillets into two-pound portions."

"Boss Li, I'll take these back to eat. You can handle the rest, okay?"

"Okay, but leave me a piece, Big Belly."

"Easy to say."
