"Ah, such a big one, this one is half a meter long, right?"

Everyone looked at the red anchovy still hanging on the hook in surprise.

"Ah, I've moved here too..."

"Me too……"

No one else could care to look at Hong Wenle's amberjack, and all turned their attention to their own fishing rods.

Hong Wenle happily took the fish off and threw it on the deck.

Compared with the black snapper, this red sweettail is more than three or four times bigger.

For sea fishing, fish prefer to bite hooks at night, because fish eat not only by sight, but also by smell. Although it is night, the fish's bait-finding skills are no worse than during the day.

Moreover, some small fish that like to make nests return to their nests to rest at night, and big fish begin to come out to look for food. The probability of catching big fish at night is greater.

In addition, tidal changes seriously affect the activities of marine fish. Most offshore fish will migrate short distances with the rise and fall of the tide.

When the tide is high, they swim to the shallows on the shore to look for food, and when the tide is low, they swim back to the deep water.

High tide is the best time for sea fishing, followed by ebb tide. Fish are least likely to bite the hook during flat tide and dead tide.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. At 12 o'clock at night, the tide level was at its lowest. Now it is only after 7 o'clock, and it is still high tide.

Hong Wenle watched the others reeling in the line and was not in a hurry to bait. He wanted to see what fish the others had caught.

Ye Yaodong looked at the Du's amberjack on the deck and was about to remind him when he heard their excited shouts.

"Ah, it's coming, it's coming..."

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a "clucking" sound, which was a bit like a pig grunting.

"Ah...it's yellow chicken fish..."

"mine too…"

"Damn, mine too."

They took up the pole one after another, and when they saw that they were all yellow chickens and fish, they were all a little confused.

"Why are they all yellow chicken and fish?"

Hong Wenle laughed loudly there, "Maybe a group of yellow chicken fish just happened to pass by? So you are all yellow chicken fish?"

"It's so possible..."

"Did that cry just now come from the yellow chicken fish?"

Ye Yaodong felt itchy and couldn't help but give them some popular science, "The yellow chicken fish is a bit special. It can use the teeth in its throat to make a sound similar to a pig's grunt, and then use its swimming bladder to amplify it, so you only hear it when you fish it ashore.

Its 'clucking' sound."

"Ah, like this? It's really special."

"It's really special. Although this yellow chicken fish is not big, only 1 to 2 pounds, the impact of catching the fish is not ordinary. It feels so full that I thought I had caught a big fish.

"

"Me too, I thought I caught a big fish just now..."

"You were lucky enough to catch a half-meter-long red sea bream first," said the young man named Zhiming who lent the fishing rod to Ye Yaodong. "You are all better than me, and mine is still a black sea bream. Come again,

Next time, I also want to catch a big fish."

"Maybe there are still schools of yellow chickens and fish down there now, haha."

"That's okay, anyway, we just got out and have a lot of time."

When Ye Yaodong saw them teasing and throwing the Du's amberjack into the bucket, he couldn't help but remind him, "You're just going to throw this fish into the bucket and ignore it?"

Just when he saw him throwing it on the deck, he wanted to ask.

"Ah? Otherwise?"

He said dumbfounded: "Mr. Hong, as long as a fish in this sea is hooked, the first thing to do after removing the hook is to bleed it. You can't just throw it there like this."

"Ah? Bloodletting???"

These young people don’t know anything, but they still want to learn how to fish?

"Marine fish swim fast and have strong athletic ability. As the fish continues to struggle after being caught, the accumulation of lactic acid in the fish meat will become more and more serious. The sour taste in the meat will increase at mild cases, and the fish meat will change color significantly. Once the blood vessels are damaged

If the fishhook is punctured, blood will seep into the muscles and cause congestion, which will greatly affect the color and taste of the fish.

"As lactic acid accumulates, the fish meat will be 'burned' or damaged. The more damaged fish meat, the lower the value of the fish."

"So the purpose of bleeding is to make the fish die quickly and keep the meat fresh to the greatest extent."

Hong Wenle was stunned for a moment. He had fished before, but only on the shore of the pier when he was bored. He had never caught such a big fish. He had always only been responsible for eating.

Others were also confused when they heard this, but they also understood that this fish must be bled to preserve its freshness to the greatest extent.

"Thank you. I don't know if you don't tell me. I don't understand bloodletting either. Can you help me do it?"

"OK."

Anyway, I am idle, so let’s send Buddha to the West!

The method of bleeding is very simple. Use scissors or lure pliers to pull out part of the fish's gills, or directly cut off the connection between the gills and the body, place it in a bucket until the blood flows out, and then bury it in ice cubes for storage.

If you have a larger fish, you can add a knife to the tail to speed up bleeding, but this is not necessary.

There was a small kitchen countertop on the yacht, which had everything. Ye Yaodong just took a pair of scissors and dealt with it, then threw it into a bucket and let it bleed slowly.

Those young people watched him handle it with great interest, and they were lucky to have found someone who knew what he was doing, otherwise it would have been a waste.

After the blood was drained, they started swinging the pole again.

Ah Zheng looked at Ye Yaodong washing his hands and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "You don't understand anything and you still come fishing..."

"Shh..."

With the experience of being hooked for the first time, this time they were much calmer when the fish took the bait, but they didn’t expect that everyone was hooked this time by yellow chicken fish!

Listening to the discussion of those people, the fat man couldn't help but poke his head out, "There are really a school of yellow chickens and fish down there!"

Ah Zheng nodded, "Definitely."

Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful, "Oh, it would be great if I brought a fishing net? If I catch them all in one catch, I would make a fortune. Fishing one rod at a time is so slow."

Ye Yaodong looked at the dark water. Due to the night vision, he couldn't see anything. Even if there were schools of fish passing by, he couldn't see clearly unless they caused waves or jumped out of the water when they were hunting.

"Who doesn't think so? But the key is that people go to sea just for fishing, and what they enjoy is the fun of catching fish during sea fishing."

"Let's go out to fish at night sometime. There seem to be a lot of fish at night, and it looks like good fishing."

"Then it's better to go out and hunt at night. It might be more efficient."

Unfortunately, when they went out to sea at night, by the time the boat arrived at its destination, it was already dark and they had never truly hunted at night.

"Everyone has his own fun..."

Just as they were whispering and chatting, Ye Yaodong suddenly discovered that there was a large golden light under the sea in the distance, and it was still moving.

"Damn it, it's a school of big yellow croakers!!!"

His exclamation directly attracted the attention of the three people who were chatting and the young people fishing. Everyone looked into the distance. In an instant, there were exclamations one after another.
