The pleasure of fishing lies in never knowing if a fish will bite in the next second, nor what kind of fish it will be.

Facing the blue sea and sky, there's a sense of peace and freedom, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.

After the barracuda, Su Yehao successively caught several skipjack tunas, his arm muscles aching, exhausted and panting.

The skipjack tuna's shape is somewhat similar to that of the tuna, belonging to the same family. The smaller ones are thirty to forty centimeters long, and the largest can exceed one meter. When Su Yehao pulled a skipjack tuna more than sixty centimeters long onto the boat, the feeling was indescribable.

It was clearly just a fish weighing a little over ten kilograms, but it took a lot of effort to catch them.

Nong Qingying originally wanted to go for a drive and have a late-night talk with Su Yehao, drink some wine, and chat about her feelings. But now she found that his attention was completely elsewhere. The girl said helplessly, "I thought only middle-aged men liked fishing. Why bother using a fishing rod when you can just cast a net and scoop everything up?"

Su Yehao didn't hear her.

Old Man Nong shook his head and said with a smile:

"Other people specialize in running fishing boats, charging one or two thousand yuan for a few days and nights, and there's always a large group of people fighting to go. There are also many women who like fishing. Seriously, fishing is much more interesting than scooping fish. Nowadays, there are fish finders, making everything underwater clear at a glance. Although you can make money to support your family, it's just not as interesting."

"Then what's interesting?" Nong Qingying retorted.

Her father recalled for a moment, and said, "When I was young, I went out to sea with your grandfather once and caught a large yellow croaker with an ordinary fishing net. A yellow croaker weighing more than one hundred kilograms could produce four or five kilograms of fish maw. At that time, one kilogram could sell for thirty to forty thousand yuan, and dried goods stores were scrambling to buy it as their prized possession."

"I didn't know that. What happened then?"

"Then... your grandfather and I both thought the fish was dying, and I was already holding it. But unexpectedly, as soon as it left the water, it suddenly broke free. If I had brought a harpoon at that time, I could have traded it for an apartment in the city."

Old Man Nong sighed, regretting, "Who would have thought that we could catch a large yellow croaker? Ever since then, I've had to bring a harpoon every time I go out to sea."

A yellow croaker weighing more than one hundred kilograms is indeed very rare.

Most fishermen can fish their whole lives and still never see such a fish. It's far rarer than bluefin tuna.

Nong Qingying saw her father sighing repeatedly, regret and reluctance written on his face, and was even more speechless.

She got up and came to Su Yehao's side, but even her usually effective charm didn't work. Su Yehao just asked her to help hold the fishing rod, and hurriedly went to the bathroom to relieve himself.

What could she say?

That night, Su Yehao discovered that Nong Qingying was inexplicably angry and even made him sleep with a fish.

Heh, unreasonable woman…

The fishing boat ran all night and finally arrived near the coordinates where the large yellow croaker school was said to have been discovered.

They wandered around for more than two hours, circling on the sea surface, but didn't find any trace of the fish school.

Going out to sea to fish is very dependent on luck.

After preparing, they first tried dragging a net. Silver mullet, grouper, black pomfret, and silver pomfret accounted for the majority. More than four hundred kilograms were scooped up in one net, sorted, and put into the freezer.

After finally waiting for the boat to stop, Su Yehao began to fish again.

In the eyes of Nong Qingying's parents, the importance of this "future son-in-law" was far greater than several nets of fish, so they weren't in a hurry to set sail, letting Su Yehao fish first.

The sailors on the boat had some minor opinions, because their income was related to their commissions.

Especially the several small boats accompanying the large boat. They hadn't even earned back the fuel costs for this voyage and just wanted to work overtime and quickly catch fish, not wanting to waste time.

Old Man Nong didn't mention the private conflicts to Su Yehao at all. He decided that next time they went out to sea, he would only charge for the fuel costs, and all the harvest would be divided among the small boats and the sailors. Only then did everyone leisurely continue to watch the Nong family's "son-in-law" fish.

Someone's hands were itching, and they followed along to fish, and actually... caught a yellowfin tuna weighing more than forty kilograms.

Others caught a halibut.

This made Su Yehao extremely envious.

He had some harvest last night, but today he had been guarding it for more than half an hour, and no fish had bitten the hook.

Not afraid.

There is strength in numbers.

He asked his bodyguards to help, and all of them took up positions guarding the fishing rods, a total of three people and four rods.

It wasn't until Nong Qingying's father couldn't stand it anymore and sailed the boat to another fishing spot that Su Yehao successfully pulled up a halibut.

"Sea fishing requires skill. Different fish like to live in different sea layers, and they have different preferences for bait. This kind of experience needs to be accumulated."

After Old Man Nong finished speaking, he called his friend using the satellite phone and specifically asked about how to catch tuna.

It was indeed different with an experienced person giving guidance.

For example, the bait had to be kept moving all the time, which Su Yehao hadn't done well enough, and the water depth was more than one hundred meters, so the line was too short.

He cut up some of the fish that had just been caught and tried to catch tuna again. When the next fish bit the hook, it was still a barracuda.

It could only be said that Old Man Nong was willing to spend money to satisfy his precious son-in-law.

Hundreds of kilograms of silver mullet were chopped into small pieces and poured into the sea along with the fish blood, attracting many sharks nearby, and the number of other fish also increased, but they still didn't encounter tuna again.

More than two hours passed quickly. Su Yehao guarded four fishing rods and successively caught more than one hundred kilograms of fish.

When a certain rod suddenly sank, another fish was hooked.

This time, Su Yehao found that it was different as he tightened the fishing line, and happily said, "This fish is so big! Could it be that I caught a shark!"

"Sharks are also good, we can have fresh shark fins to eat!" his bodyguard flattered.

Su Yehao was neither a vegetarian nor an environmentalist, but the practice of catching sharks, only taking their fins, and throwing the finless, live sharks back into the sea was a bit cruel in his eyes.

Delicious food can be eaten, but it shouldn't be wasted, especially for species with small populations, which should also be protected together.

Fresh shark fins didn't appeal to Su Yehao's appetite, he just said, "I'll pull it closer and take a look first. If it's a shark, let it go. Its nutritional value isn't even as good as oysters. This is the last fish for today. If I can't catch a big fish, then that's it. I'll continue fishing next time I go out to sea."

Nong Qingying had already returned to her room for a nap.

It was hard to have a chance to be together, but Su Yehao's mind was on fishing, so it was no wonder she was a little dissatisfied.

On this fishing boat, there wasn't much to do besides fishing and finding entertainment.

Investigating the reasons in depth, it was probably because Su Yehao had been visiting Nong Qingying less often recently, which made the girl feel unappreciated. It didn't have much to do with fishing itself.

It was also because he realized this that Su Yehao said that this was the last fish. After all, he could fish anytime, but it was more important to take care of his woman's emotions.

He fought with the big fish in the sea for more than twenty minutes, pulling it to the side of the boat little by little.

It was just a bigeye tuna, which was more common, weighing about sixty kilograms. After cleaning out the internal organs, Su Yehao had someone freeze it first, planning to take it ashore and share it with his friends. He would continue to find a sushi chef to help process it.

After taking a shower, he ran to the room to find Nong Qingying.

The girl was reading a magazine, rolling her eyes and not wanting to pay attention to him.

With a click, Nong Qingying found that Su Yehao had locked the door and immediately realized what was happening, anxiously saying, "Don't mess around. The broken boat only has one layer of iron plate. The soundproofing is terrible."

"Here, my socks, bite them yourself."

"… Go to hell."
