Fishing Livestream
Chapter 625 - 625 612 Fish Model

625: Chapter 612: Fish Model 625: Chapter 612: Fish Model Based on its size, Gu Qingtian recognized the species of the fish immediately.

The Big Marlin Fish, also known as the Blue Marlin, is a type of swordfish, elongated and laterally compressed with a pointed bill- like a sword.

It can easily exceed two meters in total length and is a widely distributed large fish species in the ocean.

“Great!” Yue Feng responded and, after making slight adjustments, began to observe every movement of this big fellow.

After the Big Marlin struggled to the surface, it still did not give up fighting, leaping out of the water to breathe through its gills three times in succession, much to the delight of live stream viewers.

But it was reaching the limits of its strength, and the fishing line was reeled in bit by bit until the fish was completely exhausted and pulled onto the boat.

The distant high-definition camera seemed very clear, but length and body details still weren’t as vivid as when the fish was pulled up beside the boat—now everyone got a much deeper understanding of the Big Marlin.

Its long snout, slender body, and blue-grey skin, combined with its length of more than three meters, created an immensely shocking visual impact.

It was much longer than the hundred-plus-pound big fish caught before.

Yue Feng might not know much about other fish species, but he was quite familiar with the Big Marlin Fish.

So after his fellow crewmates helped pull the fish onto the boat, he began to provide marine biology education for the viewers in the live stream.

“No wonder it swam away so quickly after being hooked; it turned out to be a Big Marlin Fish!

Mentioning this particular species might not ring a bell for most people, but if I mention another related name, I’m sure some brothers will know.

There’s a very famous novel called ‘The Old Man and the Sea,’ and the fish caught by the protagonist is a Big Marlin!

Now you all know, right?

This type of Big Marlin Fish is exceptionally good at swimming, and their hunting method is different from other opportunistic predatory fish.

They rely on their extremely high swimming speed, plus their long sword-like snout to attack schools of fish.

The little fish can’t escape in time and are stunned by the snout, then eaten!

Besides, this fish’s mouth is a very dangerous weapon.

Every year during the Marlin fishing season, there are fishermen who get stabbed by it.

If it’s not serious, they get wounded; if it’s severe, they may lose their lives!”

“Holy shit!

How big is this fish actually?

How many meters long?

How heavy?

It must sell for a good amount of money, right?”

“The scene where it leaped out of the water and shook its head like crazy was so exhilarating to watch; it made my blood boil!

My son tried to grab my phone, and I just gave him a slap on the butt!”

“Bro Yue is damn lucky!

These past few days at sea, he almost caught every fish species out there!

How nice!”

“This fish must weigh at least a few hundred pounds, right?

Is there any way to bring it back to the country so the brothers can have a taste?”

“Could this huge Marlin break the world record?

I’ve seen a similar kind of fish on TV channels before, but I remember them only being about one or two meters long.

This fish is a good bit longer than a person’s height!”

“I’ve seen the video that Yue bro mentioned, the one where the sword-like snout injured someone.

A foreigner was standing on the bow fishing when a Marlin leaped out of the water and stabbed the person in the chest.

It didn’t hit the vitals, but it’s scary just thinking about it!”

“Such a big fish, will you also take it back to eat?

I’m afraid you might not be able to enjoy it!

Are you planning to sell it instead?”

Yue Feng: “The length of this fish is roughly over three meters.

I don’t have an idea of its weight yet, but it has to be at least two hundred pounds or more!”

“We still need to discuss how to temporarily deal with it, but we’re definitely taking it back!

We went fishing with all the necessary permits and procedures, so the catch is legal.

We can deal with it however is appropriate!”

“We should still be cautious.

The fish is still struggling.

Feng, be careful!”

“Be careful +1!”

Just as the messages about safety flooded the public channel, Adong came over with the iron rod he had used previously for killing fish and decisively struck the fish’s head, nipping the risk of injury in the bud.

Catching such a big Marlin Fish, even Gu Qingtian was extremely excited.

He took out a tape measure from the cabin and measured it with Yue Feng.

Dang, the final length was 3.23 meters, almost as tall as two people combined.

Everyone on board, including the crew, took turns getting their photo taken with the big fellow, and the whole scene was bustling with excitement.

Victory smiles were plastered on everyone’s faces.

After the measuring and photo-taking were done, Yue Feng and the others faced an issue that needed to be resolved.

The fish was simply too huge.

If they wanted to store it whole and intact, it wouldn’t fit in the ship’s ice hold.

Short-term storage was fine, but once the temperature rose the next day, it wouldn’t take half a day for the fish to spoil and stink up.

To solve this issue, they either had to dismember the fish into several parts for storage in the ice hold, or rush back while it was still night.

If they dismembered the fish, its integrity would be destroyed and its value would decrease once ashore; they could only calculate its worth based on its weight.

Both Yue Feng and Brother Gu weren’t short of money; selling the fish was the last resort.

Other considerations meant this option was hardly a priority.

“Brother Gu, how should we handle this fish?” Yue Feng tossed the decision to Gu Qingtian.

Gu Qingtian thought for a moment, “This is the first time I’ve ever caught such a big Big Marlin!

If you guys don’t have any other plan, I want to keep the fish and find someone to make a 1:1 fish model!”

“Fish model?”

“Yes!

Using fiberglass and specially mixed dyes to create a 1:1 scale model of the fish, according to its actual size and proportions.

The process requires repeated measurement of various fish data, which causes certain quality damage to the flesh; basically, after it’s done, it’s not of much use anymore!

But the fish model can be preserved for a long time and makes for a very nice collectible!”

“Okay, then let’s keep it and make a fish model!” Yue Feng agreed without hesitation.

After all, even though Yue Feng caught the fish, the entire team contributed.

Whether eating, drinking, or anything else, it was all trivial.

Brother Gu had already shared his ideas and asked for opinions, so there was no way they could let it falter.

“If that’s the case, we can’t continue fishing tonight.

We need to return to shore as soon as possible!

The high temperature makes it very easy for the fish to spoil!”

Fishing at night for big-eyed tuna and Big Marlin had already sated Yue Feng’s appetite for adventure.

When Brother Gu suggested returning to shore, Yue Feng nodded in agreement to take care of this matter first.

After a brief discussion, Yue Feng greeted his viewers in the livestream: “Brothers in the chatroom, there’s a slight change of plans.

This Big Marlin is too big for our ice hold, so Brother Gu and I decided on a temporary return trip!

As such, today’s livestream will have to end here.

According to our schedule, we’ll still have two more days tomorrow and the day after, and I’ll continue to live stream then!

So we’ll stop streaming for today, see you all next time!”
