Father Ye drove the boat towards the floating position in the distance. When he reached the destination, he stopped the boat and asked Ye Yaodong to reel in the line.

He also walked forward. He had never tried longline fishing, so he didn't know what the harvest would be like. How did it compare to trawling?

Ye Yaodong pulled up the buoy, pulled up the dropped rock rope, and then began to reel in the line.

"Ah? Yellow-striped amberjack? Grass, a big one ran away, and a small one came."

Father Ye looked at the struggling figure that had just emerged from the water, and beamed with joy, "That's right, this one looks quite big. I estimate it is half a meter long and weighs more than 20 kilograms. It can be sold for a lot of money."

The yellow-striped amberjack lives in the warm, middle and upper layers of the ocean, so this can barely comfort him.

This fish was struggling desperately in the water. The fish caught by longline fishing are all very active. Except for the eels that can strangle themselves, other fish are very lively.

The branch line is very thin, so it is not easy to pull big fish, so tools are needed.

"Dad, go get the fishing net. It's in the cabin. It's not easy to pull. Don't let it escape again."

Father Ye quickly went to the cabin to get it, and then gestured in his hand, "Your handle is a bit short. I will make a longer one when I go back tonight."

Ye Yaodong watched his father struggling to salvage it. It was indeed a bit short. It had been put on a small boat before.

The short-handled hook I made was also too short, so I had to make a longer one when I got home, otherwise it would be difficult to hook fish.

When Ye's father fished up the yellow-striped amberjack with his hand, Ye Yaodong felt relieved, now he was no longer afraid that it would run away.

The size has shrunk by more than half compared to the one I just caught, and the weight is even worse, but it’s still okay, it’s a good fish!

More than what is lacking is more than what is inferior!

After the yellow-striped amberjack was fished out, it was still swaying its tail and shaking its body. Ye Yaodong did not bother to continue to reel in the line. After taking off the hook, he removed its gills and bled it.

If such a large fish does not land immediately after being caught, it must be bled immediately to keep it fresh.

"You go and tie up your thread, and I'll do the bleeding. Just leave it to me."

"That's okay."

It really saves trouble to have someone help, otherwise he would be too busy all by himself, and setting the hook would be a big problem.

Handing the knife to his father, he continued to reel in the line. Fortunately, a piece of soft silk came up on the second hook. It was bigger than the one he caught. It weighed only eight ounces without weighing a pound, and it was also very active.

When unhooking the hook, he was sprayed with water in his face just like Father Ye, and was thrown into the bucket, causing splashes all over the ground.

"What? Throw it away like this?"

"Ruxi, I have a hunch that there will be no shortage of soft silk today."

Many marine creatures live together in groups, and it is easy to catch the same species continuously when fishing.

No, here comes another one. The soft silk looks very transparent in color and has a very good appearance.

He continued to reel in the line. It felt like opening a blind box, with a special sense of anticipation.

By pulling one end of the fishing line, you can know whether there is fish or not, whether it is a big fish or a small fish.
