Chapter 613 - 613 600 Monstrous Talent

613: Chapter 600: Monstrous Talent 613: Chapter 600: Monstrous Talent Yue Feng: “Mysterious fishing spots are just a way of saying; in fact, there are more official considerations,

just like on land, underwater also has various terrains.

Some are naturally formed, such as trenches, coral clusters, and others are man-made, like shipwrecks, underwater well sticks and the like!

The spot we caught today is an underwater fault line!

A fault line, by definition, is a relatively unique underwater geological structure, similar to a cliff above the water’s surface!

The uniqueness of the terrain causes large numbers of small fish to gather here to hide from predators, while large predators also come here to hunt.

Over time, it has become a spot where the fish are especially aggressive!

Following Gu Qingtian’s suggestion, today we’ll try fishing with the iron plate method to see if we can get lucky!

Speaking of the iron plate fishing method, it’s worth mentioning separately!

Iron plate fishing is a globally popular sport-fishing method used for deep-sea fishing!

We also touched on this yesterday.

By dropping iron plate baits of different weights and utilizing the up-and-down movements of the iron rod, you change the swimming layer of the bait and its pose, attracting bigger fish to attack!

Especially since today we are fishing in a relatively deep fault, the iron plate will be more effective!

Our target spot today is around one hundred meters deep, so we have chosen heavier iron plate baits, roughly 350-400 grams, which allow the bait to sink quickly to the designated spot!

Alright, stop the boat, the first cast, let’s first see how our luck is!”

After a brief introduction to the common knowledge of iron plate fishing, Yue Feng casually tossed an iron plate bait into the water, watching the fishing line in the reel and estimating the depth of the water based on the different colors of the line.

A moment later, the iron plate bait reached the bottom, and Yue Feng estimated the depth to be around one hundred and twenty meters.

Upon hitting the bottom, Yue Feng began the standard action of jigging the iron plate.

After yesterday’s practice, he had become more adept today.

Yue Feng kept reeling and releasing, teasing the iron plate bait back and forth within a certain layer at the bottom to attract large fish to strike.

Less than a minute after the first cast, Yue Feng felt a heavy tug on the rod, indicating he had hooked a fish!

“Fish on!” Yue Feng called out, beginning to strenuously reel in.

Jigging an iron plate from such a depth requires a fairly thick rod, which, even without a fish, gives you a feel of the enormous resistance from the ocean floor—let alone when you’ve actually hooked a fish.

Luckily, the fish wasn’t very large.

After darting forward twice following the hook, it was roughly yanked up by Yue Feng.

The fish was not very big, about seven or eight pounds, with a round belly and a spindle-shaped body.

Its dorsal side was blue-black, its sides and abdomen were grey-white, its tail fin was brown-black, and its other fins and anal fin were yellow.

It had been caught at a relatively high water level.

“Gu Qingtian, what kind of fish is this?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

“Well, it sounds prestigious—this is a tuna!” Gu Qingtian remained quite composed.

“Tuna?

The expensive kind?”

Upon hearing the word ‘tuna,’ Yue Feng immediately thought of those top Japanese restaurants where a single fish sells for a million or two, and wondered how he could have caught one so easily?

Gu Qingtian shook his head: “You money-grubber, what are you thinking!

Who told you all tunas are expensive?

There’s a lot to learn about this!

The one you’ve caught is a small yellowfin tuna!

In their population, it’s just a small fry!

Even if it’s larger, exceeding one hundred pounds, the price is still very limited!

It’s a very common fish found widely in the ocean!”

“Not valuable?

That doesn’t sound right, does it?

Don’t the news say that one fish can be worth millions?” Yue Feng became instantly curious when he heard it wasn’t valuable.

“That’s the top-tier Blue Flag Yellowfin Tuna!

Not the Yellowfin Tuna!

Even for Blue Flag Yellowfin Tuna, not all are priced that high!

The quality of this thing, along with its origin and size, greatly affects its price!

Only the top-quality ones with a certain standard of fat content can fetch a high price!

Right now, the large fish produced by Canadian fishing grounds are more likely to be of high quality!”

“Oh, I see!

I thought they were quite valuable, got excited for nothing!” Yue Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

“The tuna cans sold in supermarkets are made from these smaller-sized tuna!

They’re not too expensive!

But these creatures usually swim in groups.

Do you have an idea about which water layer they were in just now?

You could try again, maybe you’ll hook another one!

The sashimi tastes not bad too!”

“Can this also be eaten as sashimi?” Yue Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard sashimi.

“Of course, especially the fish freshly caught, the sashimi tastes even fresher and more delicious!”

“About fifty-five meters deep in the water!

I’ll try again, see if I can catch another one!”

Hearing Yue Feng accurately report the depth at which he had just caught the fish, Gu Qingtian got agitated!

It’s almost as difficult as remembering one’s own catch in freshwater Taiwan Fishing, sea fishing with iron plate techniques requires a good memory for water depths!

Once you find which water layer the fish are active in and accurately target that fish layer, you can achieve frequent catches and increase fishing efficiency.

But usually, everyone uses reels without a meter-counting feature, remembering the water depth just from the color of the pe line is something only a sea fishing expert can do.

Gu Qingtian had not expected Yue Feng could manage it.

“Are you sure it’s this depth?” Gu Qingtian asked incredulously.

“Yes, the pe line changes color every three meters.

I reeled in eighteen color sections, plus a little bit more.

Isn’t that about 55 meters?” Yue Feng, capable of dual-tasking, remembered very clearly.

“Try finding that depth again and see if there are fish!”

Soon, following Gu Qingtian’s instructions, Yue Feng cast the iron plate again, and this time even faster.

As soon as it reached the preset layer, he got a bite!

He pulled up another Yellowfin Tuna!

This left a confident Gu Qingtian speechless.

Indeed, there is such a thing as natural talent, and Yue Feng was a freak of nature with talent points added to fishing!

Two consecutive fish were caught, both Yellowfin Tuna, and the viewers in the live broadcast went wild.

“That’s good, although they’re not too big, but the fish is tasty.

If you hit a school of fish, they bite very quickly!

The drawing frequency is Yue Feng’s unique skill!”

“Strongly request Yue Feng to mail back the tuna he can’t finish, let the brothers have a taste of fresh fish!”

“You upstairs must be dreaming!

Shipping fish from overseas back here, with all the quarantine and inspection procedures, could cost a fortune, not to mention the hefty fee!”

Yue Feng: “I’ve thought about that before, but after looking into it, I gave up.

Just like what the commenter said, the procedures are very complicated, and the costs are extremely high!

What can be brought back is very limited!

Don’t even think about it for the short term!”

While Yue Feng was busy pulling up a tuna online, he suddenly felt a heavy pull on the rod, and the resistance abruptly increased.

“Damn, it’s been more than twenty meters and no strong reactions, why has it suddenly gotten so heavy, what the hell?” Watching the wheel unloading force crazily, Yue Feng felt terrible!
