The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

"Good to hear the host is fine; finally showing up."

Everyone's hanging hearts could finally settle down.

They were all half dead with worry because there was no live stream yesterday.

Don't be fooled by the calm when there's no wind or waves, looking all peaceful, but in reality, the sea is brimming with danger, like a sleeping beast.

It's not necessarily only dangerous when there are big winds and waves.

Sometimes, beneath the calm surface, danger is just as great.

Just like the Arrowfish we caught before.

If you don't dodge in time, you might end up paying with your life.

And the Stingray, although it has a gentle disposition, its poisonous sting is deadly if it pierces someone, turning it very dangerous once it attacks.

"I'm just afraid something unexpected might happen."

"Or encountering some big stormy weather or something."

"Don't worry, we're fine."

"Before leaving, I already prayed to the gods. With my luck, I won't encounter such stormy weather."

"We were just in transit at sea the whole day yesterday going to the next fishing spot, so we didn't go online to stream."

Fang Hao explained, and everyone finally understood what was going on.

So they didn't dwell too much on this issue.

We've arrived at the new fishing spot.

This time the Captain assured that this spot is his personal secret fishing spot, and also his favorite one; there are lots of Tuna here.

"I once caught the largest Tuna here, weighing around 200 pounds."

"Not to mention the ones around 100 pounds, I've caught even more."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to catch Tuna here today."

It's hard to say whether the Captain was boasting or telling the truth.

Either way, Fang Hao and the others believed him.

Even if they didn't, they wouldn't know where else to fish for Tuna.

Only the Captain, the old fisherman, would know.

Unless he was deceiving them or had forgotten, there was really nothing they could do.

But it probably wouldn't be like that.

Let's hope there are fish.

Fang Hao prayed inwardly, hoping it wouldn't turn out to be like before, with nothing at all.

Old Ye was also going all out today; like Fang Hao on this trip, he hadn't caught anything either.

Xiao Pang, on the other hand, was very relaxed; he caught the most fish this time, and they were all big ones.

His luck made Fang Hao and Old Ye envious.

Like last time, Old Ye also caught many fish, but they were all small.

Compared to that, there's really no contest, not even in the same league.

That's also why Old Ye is so determined today.

Both Fang Hao and Old Ye were fully spirited.

Go for it, give it your best shot.

Today we have to perform well, show our strength.

After setting up their fishing rods, the three continued to use small fish as bait.

This time they brought many small live fish for deep sea fishing, to serve as bait for bigger fish.

Some weighing a few ounces, some about two pounds.

Anyway, when they bought these bait, they spent a fair amount of money.

There were also some preserved small fish that could be used to create a baited area.

With nothing else to do, the Captain went to rest.

This time at sea, it's basically Fang Hao steering the fishing boat, and he had driven for more than ten hours just yesterday. He must be very tired and hardly had any rest.

Fang Hao would occasionally help out and take the Captain's place.

Having an extra person to help steer the boat, Fang Hao felt completely liberated and much more relaxed.

That's the benefit of hiring someone to sail; even though it costs money, you gain more freedom and ease.

Perhaps it really is a change of fortune.

It wasn't long after they dropped their lines when Old Ye got a bite.

However, judging by the pulling strength, it didn't seem too strong, probably just a fish weighing around ten pounds.

But it's better to have something than nothing.

When Old Ye finally reeled in the fish, everyone saw it was a long deep-sea Ribbonfish, its whole body shimmering with a silver glow, exceptionally beautiful.

This was a good start for Old Ye, catching such a big Ribbonfish of about one to two meters in length.

Still a decent catch.

A smile surfaced on Old Ye's face.

At least today wasn't a total loss.

Old Ye made a catch, and though it wasn't a Tuna, it still gave Fang Hao confidence.

This is a good omen for today.

Xiao Pang was also excited, circling around to see the Ribbonfish that was caught, salivating.

"Old Ye, how about we eat grilled Ribbonfish today."

Having eaten Arrowfish all day yesterday, Xiao Pang wanted to try something different.

Ribbonfish tastes very good, especially when grilled.

Back home, during holidays, Xiao Pang's family would also buy a Ribbonfish to cook themselves.

But the Ribbonfish they bought were frozen, not at all as fresh as what they just caught.

Now, this Ribbonfish was freshly caught, the best way to enjoy seafood.

Freshly reeled in.

"Of course we can," Old Ye had no objections.

Eating the fish you catch is another experience of fishing at sea.

It's just a Ribbonfish.

They had even eaten the big Arrowfish caught before, let alone a small Ribbonfish.

It's not a big deal.

"Sure thing," Old Ye smiled, "but let me say, I can't cook."

"Hey, how can we let you cook, Old Ye, leave it all to me."

Xiao Pang patted his chest, signaling he'd handle the cooking himself.
