"It's so big, and that mouth... is so long, like a saw..."

"Wow, this one must be more than three meters from beginning to end, right? It's so big..."

"I don't know how much this fish can be sold for. It looks really weird. I don't know if anyone wants it."

"Oh, I only thought about catching big fish and didn't think about whether anyone would want it. It's not like no one wants such a big fish, right? It just looks a little weird, but it looks a lot like a manta ray."

"You can't sell such a big fish for money, but it's an honor to tell it."

A several-meter-long sawfish is like a large five-flowered board entangled in a fishing net, with only the end of its snout exposed. The long snout is about the same proportion as the body, and wide, and the tusks on the sides are like saw teeth.

No wonder it's called a sawfish.

Seeing that the boatmen were going to borrow ropes, Ye Yaodong quickly stopped them and said, "Wait a moment."

"Isn't he dead?" Everyone immediately backed away nervously, looking at the big fish with vigilance.

"No, I want to take pictures first."

"Ah? I thought the fish was still alive. You told us not to get close."

"I was so warped, my eyes were closed, and the big saw couldn't move."

"You want to take pictures again? Your camera is only used on the fish. You don't take as many pictures of people as you do of fish?"

"What do you know?"

It will be very difficult to see this fish in the future. This is his brilliant achievement, so of course he has to take pictures and keep them as evidence.

From now on, if you randomly pick out any of his ocean photos, they are all mythical. Who can be as awesome as him, as experienced as him, and moreover, he has the credentials to say it.

This is his glorious history and bragging rights.

Ye Yaodong quickly returned and took two pictures before letting him put them down. However, he didn't take any more pictures after putting them down. He couldn't take any pictures because he was tied up. When the fishing nets were untied, he took another picture.

"First untie the big net. Now we have to go back to the shore. It has been cut and needs to be repaired. The transparent thread of the hand-thrown net can be cut off with scissors later. Be careful with the big net.

One thing, don’t damage it too much, you’ll have to use it after repairing it.”

"Know."

Father Ye ran down to take a look excitedly, "It's such a big one. Fortunately, I caught it."

"Why are you running down here? Hurry up and drive the boat to chase the dead fish floating on the sea."

Father Ye turned his head and looked at the sea. He was already far away and all he could see was darkness. "Okay, okay, I'll drive the boat to chase you right away."

After saying that, he took a fish out of the fishing net and took a look at it. It was all fresh and not poisoned, and then he went to the cockpit again.

When the fishing net was thrown, it not only covered the big fish, but also caught a lot of small fish. The small ones are actually relative to the size of the sawfish, but they are not actually very small. What I see in the fishing net now are all those that can be sold for money.

Good stuff.

Ye Yaodong also squatted down and took out a few fish to check to see if they were poisoned by red tide. After all, the color concentration of red tide was quite high at night, but he didn't know whether it was poisonous or not.

Red tides are formed by different types of algae, some of which are poisonous and some are non-toxic.

Fish eyes contaminated by red tide will become cloudy, lose their normal luster, and some may even bulge outward.

Heavily polluted fish will also have abnormal shapes. Some have large heads and small tails, some have curved spines or even deformities, and some have yellow skin and blue tails.

This type of food cannot be eaten at all, as it may cause poisoning in the human body.

If the water environment is simply severely hypoxic and causes fish, shrimps and crabs to suffocate to death, they can still be eaten.

He looked through several of them, and they all died normally. They were all fresh and edible.

Other fishermen were also untying the fishing nets and digging out the small fish to create space. They also saw that these fish were all edible.

"Fortunately, there is a new hand-thrown net in the cabin, which can be taken out for use, otherwise the dead fish floating up..."

"You have to be more prepared when you go out, but don't be afraid. Don't we still have hand nets? You can cast the net later and catch what should be caught with the hand net. Try to catch everything in one catch. It's rare.

It's such a big wave. Let's go and get it now. This fishing net won't be untied for a while. Let's leave it for now and talk about it later."

"good."

Ye Yaodong also dropped the fish he was looking at, stood up and took a telescope to look at the sea in the distance. The dead fish that floated up were drifting in the water. They were originally scattered due to the violent struggle of the sawfish, but now they were scattered due to the current.

The flushes came together again.

The main reason is that there are enough of them, the water flow and the wind direction are in the same direction, and they are not washed away by the waves, but are concentrated again.

If you can get all the naan from this piece, the income will be very good, which is worth working at sea for a few days. It's not a loss to just go back this time.

If everyone had seen such a large group of dead fish before, they would have been extremely excited. These were all picked up for free, and Mazu gave them money.

However, in the past two years, everyone has followed Ye Yaodong when fishing, and their horizons have improved, and their thresholds have also increased. These fish are not exciting to them yet.

After all, I had caught a 110,000-jin plum boy fish in a net before. These fish on the sea probably only weighed tens of thousands of catties. How could they compare with the 110,000-jin plum boy fish?

But they were still happy. After all, it was a bumper harvest. There was no need to haul the goods one by one. The goods were all right in front of them. They only had to work hard to catch them and it would all be theirs. There was no need to gamble on luck.

Everyone's enthusiasm was quite high and they all rushed to get ready.

Father Ye drove his fishing boat to chase the black shoals of dead fish that gathered on the sea. They were all dead and had no vitality. They could only sway in the wind. They didn't run very fast, but they caught up with them in a few seconds.

The boatmen also took out new hand-thrown nets, and as soon as the fishing boat stopped, they immediately threw and collected the fish on the sea surface. The other two people also used hand-thrown nets to salvage the goods beside the fishing boat.

What was supposed to be used to catch jellyfish is now used to catch dead fish.

"There are all kinds of fish, there are so many..."

"Speak less and save more energy. With such a large amount, it won't be possible to salvage it all in a while. We will have to work hard for several hours."

"It seems that the red tide has spread over there. From a distance, it looks all brown. The sky is not blue and the water is blue like before." Ye Yaodong said with a telescope.

"This red tide seems to be quite serious."

"Originally, the scope of the diffusion is quite wide. If you happen to encounter it, it will be fine. You can fish it out slowly. These fish are suffocated to death, so it is not a big problem. We will go back after finishing it."

"Okay, okay, catch all these. The fish bin is probably full."

Ye Yaodong also took a hand net and fished with everyone, and Ye's father also picked up a hand net after the fishing boat stopped.

Everyone on the boat was fishing, and all the fish they caught were dumped on the deck. No one had time to sort and sort them. They just wanted to catch all the fish in the sea as soon as possible.

The early morning sun had completely risen when they were fishing. Under the bright sun, everyone's faces were burned red by the sun, and sweat dripped directly to the sea. There was still only their fishing boat floating in the middle of the sea, working hard.

of salvage.

No one had time to run to the cabin to get a towel to wipe the sweat on their heads. They just took off their clothes and hung them around their necks to wipe them with.

Ye Yaodong had been exposed to the sun intermittently during this period, and his face was already several shades darker than in previous years, but compared to the dark faces around him, he was considered fair.

When he goes out, he doesn't wear sunscreen like a ghost like he does at home. He just pays more attention to it when he is at sea. After all, the sun at sea is the most poisonous.

"If you are tired from casting the net, or if you have stayed up all night, take a rest first and help cook a meal. We haven't eaten since early in the morning, so we probably don't have any energy anymore. Let's take a rest first and take it easy."

Father Ye wiped the sweat from his face and said to him: "You haven't slept all night, so you should take a rest first."

"Then let's all take a rest first. We won't finish fishing so quickly. People are like iron, and food is like steel. You won't be hungry until you eat a meal. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Let's take a rest."

Those who cook cook, those who rest rest.”

Everyone quickly put down the nets they were working on. Everyone was either sweating profusely or looking exhausted. They divided the work. Those who had not slept all night had a rest first, and the two who had slept went to cook first.

Father Ye took the fishing net everyone put aside and continued to cast the net.

"Why don't you take a break, Dad."

"I'm not tired. I took a nap, and when I woke up, I kept sailing there without doing much work. You can rest while I catch more."

"That's up to you."

Ye Yaodong leaned against the side of the boat tiredly, not daring to close his eyes at all. He was afraid that he would fall asleep immediately and be unable to get up later.

After resting for a while and feeling that my arms were no longer so sore, I stood up and took the binoculars to look at the surrounding sea. They were still the only boat alone.

There are too few fishing boats that can travel such a distance these days, and offshore resources are abundant. Most of the time, one trawler is enough to make a profit fishing offshore.

While they were fishing, the red tide had already spread, and it spread around their fishing boat, covering all the fish in brown.

Originally, the fish looked black and white, with black on the back and white on the belly. Now, at first glance, they are all brown.

If it had been covered by red tide before, they probably wouldn't have been able to see the dead fish floating on the sea here.

Ye Yaodong watched the fishing boat rippling in the water and deviate from the fish, so he climbed up to the cockpit and moved the fishing boat closer to the dead fish so that his father could continue to cast the net.

By the way, he was also sitting in the cockpit to rest and avoid the sun.

It wasn't until everyone called him to start dinner that he realized that he had fallen asleep at some point. When he was woken up, he felt exhausted all over and could hardly open his eyes.

But he still held on, relying on his willpower to wake up again and go down to eat.

It is really hard for fishermen. It is common to have difficulty eating and sleeping on a fishing boat. It is even more difficult to sleep if you encounter a school of fish.

Everyone simply ate some porridge, had enough rest after filling their stomachs, and hurried to salvage.

After the sawfish was fished out, no one encountered any problems. At most, the fishing boat diverted the fish and then moved over.

After several hours of exposure, everyone finally successfully fished out all the dead fish from the sea. The entire deck was piled up like a hillside, taller than a person, referring to Father Ye and the others.

The younger generation is shorter.
