Chapter 323: Sea Bass
"Okay!"
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh in her heart. What's the difference between this competition and directly asking them to do the dishwashing?
Thinking about her previous achievements, Fu Wan was still confident in her luck and fishing skills.
Seeing that she agreed, Fu Ming excitedly brought out all the fishing rods nearby for Fu Wan to choose from.
Ye Zhenxing was originally very bored, but when he saw how lively the adults were, he also clamored to join in.
“I want to fish too!”
Ye Zhenxing has never tried sea fishing!
At best, I had used bamboo poles used to herd cattle to catch small crucian carp in the river.
Ye Lin had never thought his son so annoying. He had been reluctant to confront him about skipping school, but now that he was clamoring to go fishing again, he couldn't help but raise his fishing rod.
"You're just a kid, you don't even have time to sleep, and you're fishing. Are you looking for a beating?"
Which good person wants to be beaten? Seeing that his father was about to stir-fry the meat with bamboo, Ye Zhenxing could only give up cowardly and ran to Boss Fu and lay down obediently.
Ye Lin threw his spare thick clothes over and said, "Cover yourself up. If you catch a cold, I'll punish you when I get back!"
You little rascal, you skipped school without even saying goodbye. He could imagine how angry his wife must be at home.
Who knows, he might even be implicated and criticized as well.
Although Ye Zhenxing felt a little unconvinced, he still obediently covered himself with clothes.
He knew his father's temper. If he continued to make trouble, he would not be able to escape the beating even in front of so many people.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. At worst, he can just lie down and watch them fishing secretly.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenxing closed his eyes, then secretly opened them a little to see what was happening over there with Fu Wan and the others.
However, there is a lot of preparation work before fishing. Fu Wan and Fu Ming also have to make bait and lay the nest.
As Ye Zhenxing watched, his eyes closed unconsciously, and he didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Ye Lin prepared his bait and saw Ye Zhenxing, who had fallen into a deep sleep. After all, he was his son, so he ran to the side and got a spare piece of clothing, and covered his legs tightly.
"Brother Alin, we can start now."
Fu Ming called out in a low voice, Ye Lin responded, and then the three of them began to choose fishing rods.
In fact, the fishing rods brought on the boat were carefully selected by Boss Fu and Fu Ming, so Fu Wan didn't look at them much and just picked up the one closest to her.
Seeing that Fu Wan had already made her choice, Fu Ming picked out a longer fishing rod from the remaining ones.
"This one's long. Turn around and cast it farther. Look, I'll catch a big fish for you to see!"
Men's competitive spirit is always inexplicable. Fu Wan just raised her eyebrows and smiled without saying anything when she heard this, then walked aside with her bait bucket.
It’s hard to say who will catch the big fish!
Before hanging the bait, she took out her watch and checked the time. It was exactly midnight.
The moon was still looming in the clouds, waves on the sea were breaking one after another, and many seabirds were following the boat, rushing down from time to time to catch a small fish.
Fu Wan took out an octopus tentacle from the bucket. Boss Fu had made some improvements to this fishing rod and tied two fish hooks on the fishing line.
So Fu Wan thought about it, and retracted her hand that had originally picked up the sardine pieces, then reached into the bucket next to her and grabbed two handfuls of small prawns that Ye Xiaocui had picked out for her own consumption.
These prawns were just pulled up by the trawl net, but because there were not many of them, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan picked out the bigger ones and prepared to sell them to Fu San. The smaller ones were half-dead, so if they were thrown back they would just feed the seabirds, so it would be better to take them home and eat them.
Whether blanched or stir-fried, the taste is very fresh and sweet.
As long as shrimps are fresh, they won’t taste bad.
This small shrimp is also a very tempting delicacy for some fish in the sea.
Perfect for fishing!
After hanging the two baits, Fu Wan grabbed the fishing rod and swung it hard. The fishing line flew out with the hook with the bait, and then fell into the sea a few meters away.
What follows is a long wait.
Fu Ming and Ye Lin didn't hesitate either, and cast their hooks out just as quickly. The three of them didn't stand together, but each found a position they liked on the deck.
The fishing rod made this time also has a plastic fake fish model hung on it, which Boss Fu specially bought from a small shop. He said that when the fish in the sea see this fake fish and the smell of bait, they will easily be fooled into eating the bait.
Fu Wan didn't have time to carefully study whether this fake fish model was good or not, because less than two minutes had passed and she seemed to have caught a fish!
"I've got a fish!"
Fu Wan lifted the fishing rod with force. Pulling and playing with fish are both technical jobs. Although Fu Wan has just started, she also knows that she cannot fight the fish on the seabed head-on.
"Awan, relax your grip first. Don't fight the fish head-on. You have to handle it gently and follow its lead. Fishing is like fighting. If the enemy chases, I retreat; if the enemy flees, I fight. You just slowly lead it along. When it gets tired, quickly reel in the line and pull it up!"
Veteran angler Fu Ming was also extremely anxious, wishing he had the fishing rod in his own hands, but he was a little far away from Fu Wan, and it was difficult for him to abandon his fishing rod, so he could only chatter on and on about his experience.
Fu Wan nodded in response. She estimated that the fish she caught was not light because she could feel the gravity of the fishing rod in her hand and the pulling force from the other end of the fishing line. If it was a fish weighing about one kilogram, she would not be able to pull it out like this.
It probably weighs at least three or four kilograms.
Although three or four pounds is not very heavy in daily life, in the sea, due to the effect of seawater, the pulling force of three or four pounds is not small and it takes a while to contend with it.
As Fu Wan reeled in and let out the line to fish, about six or seven minutes passed. The fish underwater was tired and gradually got closer and closer to the sea surface, so Fu Wan could see the true face of the fish.
It's sea bass!
It’s still a pretty big sea bass!
This sea bass is not the small-nosed one-pound fish that Boss Fu caught on the island before. The one that Fu Wan caught looked to weigh at least five pounds.
"Oh my goodness, this sea bass is so beautiful!"
Fu Ming held his motionless fishing rod in his hand with envy, and even enthusiastically picked up the hand net with his bare hands to help Fu Wan catch fish.
Fortunately, the hand net is big enough, otherwise the sea bass would not be able to fit in it.
The striped seabass is actually one of the seabass that we usually call. It is also called the seven-star seabass or white seabass. It is a typical ferocious carnivorous fish in the sea.
The sea bass' favorite food is naturally the small fish and shrimp that Fu Wan hung on the fishhook.
Although this fish is not a rare fish, it is very popular among people because of its thick meat, few bones, tender texture, sweet taste and no fishy smell.
The striped bass itself is also very beautiful, with a beautiful streamlined body, a blue-gray or blue-green back, a silvery-white belly, and many star-like spots on its back.
