Tuna in the South China Sea are generally small in size.
The most common is yellowfin tuna weighing forty or fifty kilograms, and yellowfin tuna weighing eighty to one hundred kilograms is also common. Larger individuals are relatively rare. As for yellowfin tuna weighing two to three hundred kilograms, then
Got very good luck.
In addition to yellowfin tuna, there are also bluefin tuna occasionally in the South China Sea.
The largest bluefin tuna ever caught in the South China Sea seemed to weigh more than 700 kilograms. But such a big bluefin tuna cannot be caught in a year or two.
"If it's bluefin tuna, I'll make a fortune." He Fei brought mineral water to cool down Yang Xun's fishing boat.
Looking at this posture, it must be at least 150 jins, and if it is larger, it may be over 200 jins.
Chen Yuan is now controlling the fish, and the fishing boat has not heated up. Seeing He Fei bring mineral water, Chen Yuan waved his hand: "I don't need it here."
Yang Xun didn't know how to control the big fish. It would be better to say that the fish was trying to lure him away.
About ten minutes have passed.
For such a big fish, every minute of delay brings more uncertain risks.
Zhou Sheng saw him walking over and said, "I'll help you escape."
"Okay." Yang Xun handed the boat pole to Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng looked at the main line, turned on the manual, lifted the pole suddenly, then bent down and quickly retracted the line, lifted it again, and returned it again...
It had been running for about ten minutes, and the fish was much less powerful than before, so the line was retrieved more smoothly this time. But when the fish was fleeing, Yang Xun's fishing line still got entangled with Chen Yuan's fishing line.
Chen Yuan cooperated with Zhou Sheng's movements and gathered the fishing line together.
In more than a minute, Chen Yuan and the others had already seen the fish, a yellow-fin tuna, like a big cannonball, very big.
Tuna is different from grouper, or squid...
Moreover, this fish was trolled and brought close to the boat, and its vitality is still very good.
"Be careful." Chen Yuan said.
Fishing lines are tangled together, which can easily lead to problems.
"I know." Zhou Sheng slowed down.
The fishing line has become entangled.
The two of them pulled the fishing line together, carefully...
The fish suddenly exerted force, and the two of them let go at the same time. When the fish calmed down, the two of them slowly pulled on the fishing line.
He Fei and the others lay beside the boat and watched nervously. After another ten minutes, Yang Xun's fish finally came to the side of the boat, and Zhou Sheng controlled the fishing line...
Lin Xinhai brought an iron hook and hooked it on the back and side of the tuna.
Seeing this, Yang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's stable." Zhou Sheng said.
"Stay steady, you can't run away."
Zhou Sheng put down the fishing rod, took the iron hook and went to the side of the boat. Lin Xinhai took the rope and tied a knot, tied the fish's tail, and lifted it a few times: "It's strong." Lin Xinhai said with a smile.
Zhou Sheng gave the hook to Lin Xinhai. He held the rope and lifted the tuna up hard: "It's done."
"It's safe." Yang Xun said.
"Hurry up and get the scissors." He Fei looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan is now controlling the fishing line with his hands. Although he has a towel on his hands, it is uncomfortable for the fish to exert force suddenly at this time.
Yang Xun quickly got scissors, cut his main line short, and then cleaned out the twisted fishing lines.
Chen Yuan loosened the fishing line and continued to retrieve the line.
Yang Xun's fish is as long as a person and quite fat. It is estimated to be over two hundred pounds...
Chen Yuan's fish may be even bigger. With Chen Yuan's strength, he switched from electric to manual and turned the brake to the maximum. As long as the fish exerts force, the fishing line cannot be retracted at all.
Lin Xinhai began to bleed the tuna. He did not kill the tuna and then bleed it, but directly bled it.
Yang Xun and the others brought in sea water and continuously washed the gills and tail of the fish.
After they finished handling the fish, Chen Yuan also pulled the fish over. Zhou Sheng took the iron hook and hooked the fish, and Lin Xinhai continued to use the rope to wrap the fish's tail...
"We have to hurry up." Lin Xinhai said after the fish came up.
"Sail the boat and we'll handle it ourselves," Chen Yuandao said.
"Yeah." Lin Xinhai went back to the cabin, started the fishing boat, and pushed the throttle to the bottom.
Zhou Sheng skillfully bled the fish, while Yang Xun and He Fei helped fetch water and rinse it.
"Good guy..." Zhou Sheng said: "This tuna weighs more than three hundred kilograms. Let's first ask what price the supply ship can give. If we can't negotiate, we will go back."
"Okay." Chen Yuan looked at Yang Xun and the others.
Yang Xun also nodded.
Zhang Cheng and the others hesitated to speak...
"Your shipping fare is waived." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay." Meng Jianshan said with a smile.
Meng Jianshan is in the Air Force. Of the six people fishing, he is the only one in the Air Force...
"Where's my shipping fare?" He Fei asked.
"No need." Chen Yuan said.
"Okay." He Fei smiled and looked at Yang Xun: "You have gained a lot. You must not cover the fuel expenses for our trip to sea."
Yang Xun smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem... By the way, how much is the fuel cost?"
"No matter how much it is, just fill it up." He Fei said.
"Okay, okay..."
Yang Xun harvested two tails, one with big red seals and one with yellow fins.
If I go back and sell it.
Da Zhanghong is conservatively estimated to be worth about 15,000 yuan. Yellowfin tuna costs at least 150 yuan per catty, or even 200 catties... that's still 30,000 yuan.
"The fuel cost for a round trip is about 8,000 to 9,000 yuan." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "I must start running when I go back, with full power."
"Okay, no problem. I'll pay for today's gas... hahaha." Yang Xun smiled and said, "Will you come out tomorrow?"
Chen Yuandao: "If you go back, sell the fish and rest for a day before coming out."
"OK."
He Fei nodded, he was very happy with his decision to go back. He also caught a big Zhanghong. If he goes back to sell it, the price will definitely be higher. The important thing is that the boat fee is waived...
Chen Yuan went in and said to Lin Xinhai: "Master, we will go back directly and come out tomorrow."
Lin Xinhai thought for a while: "Okay, let me tell Lao Dong."
Lao Dong, whose name is Wang Dong, operates a Shanghai supply ship.
Lin Xinhai contacted Wang Dong: "Hey, we caught two big tuna and are going back. We won't go to your place for supplies."
“How big is the tuna?”
"One weighs more than two hundred kilograms, and one weighs more than three hundred kilograms." Lin Xinhai said.
"I will send it to the market for auction for you, and I will get 15%." Wang Dong said.
"Wait a minute, let me ask." Lin Xinhai shouted: "Chen Yuan... come here."
"What's going on?"
"The tuna can be handed over to the supply ship and sent to the fish market for auction, and they will take 15%." Lin Xinhai said: "What do you think?"
Wang Dong's voice came over the radio: "Fifteen percent is too low."
"Is it a market in Shenzhen?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Yes. My ship came from Shenzhen..."
"Fifteen percent is too high." Lin Xinhai said.
"I'll take a look at the fish first. If the quality is good, it should be at least 10%." Wang Dong said.
Lin Xinhai looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked outside...
Zhou Sheng cleaned the freezer, and the length of the freezer was only two meters. But Chen Yuan’s fish was more than two meters long...
If you want to stuff it in, you have to cut off the tail of the fish.
It doesn't matter if you chop off the tail of tuna, that part is worthless.
Chen Yuan walked out: "How about the supply ship sending our fish to auction for a fee of 15%?"
Yang Xun looked at He Fei.
Yang Xun doesn't know much about these...
He Fei said: "Is there any guarantee?"
"After seeing the fish, let's talk." Chen Yuandao said: "Our two tuna are too big, so they have to be frozen at ultra-low temperature. As for the red octopus, if we want to sell it at a good price, it is best if it is chilled..."
"Then go over and have a look first. If we can negotiate, we will send it to the supply ship. If we can't negotiate, we will go back..." Yang Xun said, "Anyway, if we go back now, we won't be able to sell fish until tomorrow morning."
"I don't have any objection, whatever happens is fine." Zhang Cheng said, "I still want to fish at night."
"Me too, everything is fine." Meng Jianshan said: "It seems that I don't have the right to speak. I am the Air Force..."
