My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 191 No, this is the Bohai Knife

"Huh, there's this thing too?" Yu Muzhou subconsciously turned around and saw that it wasn't a yellowtail but a bighead cod, so he got up and walked over.

"We fished too late. The fish is so tender. If we fry it with some butter, it'll be just as good as imported silver cod."

Zhou Miao was skeptical of this: "How could it possibly compare to silver cod? If it were that delicious, would it be so cheap?"

"Just like the big yellow croaker from our area, if you hype it up and then use scarcity to drive up the price, won't it go up?"

After Yu Muzhou finished speaking, he even picked up the fish and touched its bulging belly.

Seemingly having found something, his face lit up with joy: "Great! Great! There should be a white piece on this one. We're in for a treat tomorrow!"

"Why are you so concerned?" Zhou Miao grinned mischievously when he heard Bai Zi's name. "Brother Zhou, you can't just let yourself go after the divorce. You still need to take it easy."

"Go away, I've been training every day lately, I don't have time to do those things. I just like eating this."

"I know, you are what you eat!"

"Hey kid, that's enough! Go back to fishing."

Fish are less active at night than during the day, and the yellowtail amberjack also becomes more docile.

Zhou Miao fished for most of the day but didn't catch a single yellowtail.

The fish are definitely still there, they just won't bite.

Fortunately, bighead cod have been brought in. Although the price is not high, there are many of them, so you can catch them as soon as you cast your line.

Zhou Miao's small electric winch was working like crazy, while the heavy electric winch remained completely still.

This is specifically designed for catching big fish; the hook is so big that small fish at the bottom of the water can't bite it.

Zhou Miao simply put the hook and bait back in and focused on fishing with a small electric reel.

He threw these bighead cod directly into the freezer and froze them at low temperature. When they were transported to Nanzhen by refrigerated truck, the price would be at least 20 yuan higher than here.

Even if he didn't catch enough fish, Zhou Miao planned to buy a batch of fish from here and take them back with him to make a profit.

After all, Luo Hao himself was short of money, and Tingtao Fish Raft was also eager to renovate, so it was really not good for him to keep owing this money.

As night deepened, Yu Muzhou caught a few cod, but couldn't stand the cold wind of the Yellow Sea at night, so he went back to the living room early to turn on the heating, leaving Zhou Miao alone on the deck, working hard.

Fortunately, there were fishing boats all around, and their lights were on, so he didn't feel lonely.

Zhou Miao kept fishing for cod, one after another. Just when he thought tonight would be all cod, a silvery ribbonfish that was seventy or eighty centimeters long was caught.

The ribbonfish, measuring a meter in length, was four and a half fingers wide, but that wasn't the main point. The main point was that the ribbonfish was also very thick, about the thickness of two fingers held together.

"Wow, it's so fat, could it be a scallop?"

Zhou Miao was a little amused. He had originally planned to wait until December to discuss with Yu Muzhou whether to go deep-sea oil fishing, but he didn't expect to catch one first in the Yellow Sea.

Oil belt, that's good. This one should weigh about two pounds and sell for at least two hundred yuan in the market.

Zhou Miao had to treat this valuable item well and put it in a separate styrofoam box.

Holding the fishing line, Zhou Miao took out the hook remover and was about to remove the hook from the fish's sharp mouth when Yu Muzhou came out carrying a pot of hot tea.

When he saw the ribbonfish on the deck, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he immediately grabbed the teapot and ran over.

"Damn, I thought you'd be cold fishing outside, so I brought you some tea. I never expected you to catch a Bohai knife fish!"

"Bohai knife fish?" Zhou Miao was taken aback. He had certainly heard of the famous Bohai knife fish. Although its price was not as exaggerated as that of the large yellow croaker in East China, it was still extremely expensive.

"That can't be right, isn't that the small-eyed ribbonfish from the Bohai Sea? What does it have to do with the Yellow Sea?"

"No, this is a Bohai knife," Yu Muzhou said confidently, then countered, "Who told you that all Bohai knives are made in Bohai?"

"It's not far from here to there, and it's all cold-water ribbonfish, so calling them Bohai knife fish is no problem at all."

"That's right!" Zhou Miao's eyes lit up. Just like the large yellow croaker, almost all the high-quality large yellow croaker from Nanguang are taken to East China to sell, and then passed off as Zhoushan large yellow croaker.

In fact, there are differences between the large yellow croaker from Nanguang and the large yellow croaker from Zhoushan.

The ribbonfish he caught here, which he said was from the Bohai Sea, is actually more likely to be true.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miao quickly wiped his hands, then took out his phone to search online and found that the price of Bohai knives was indeed very high.

A pound of this kind can sell for five or six hundred yuan, and this one weighs three or four pounds, so the price is even more outrageous.

"Brother Zhou, how much do you think I can sell this for?"

"Theoretically, it could sell for 1,500! But we don't know anyone here, so whether we sell it to a restaurant or a fishmonger, the price will probably be much lower."

"It's not cheap anymore. I have to keep fishing. Maybe I can catch a few more."

Zhou Miao was immediately motivated. Wouldn't fishing for this be more fun than fishing for yellowtail or bighead cod?

"Don't even mention you, I want to try fishing too." Yu Muzhou turned around, placed the teapot on the folding table, and then quickly took out his fishing rod.

Bohai knife fish! If I could catch a few and bring them back, I'd definitely look good in front of my fellow anglers.

However, there's a reason for the high price: this thing is indeed extremely rare.

Even after fishing until dawn, Zhou Miao only managed to catch a mere seventeen fish.

Fortunately, they were all large ribbonfish, each weighing at least a pound.

Yu Muzhou only caught one fish, and it was only because Zhou Miao got lucky that he was able to catch it, but that was already exciting enough for him.

I'm thinking of taking it back home and having my family's chef make a "Dragon and Phoenix Dance" dish, and then inviting some friends over to taste it.

After midnight, the cod stopped biting, and the ribbonfish also disappeared.

However, "one fish finishes its song and another takes the stage," and even if they are gone, there are other fish.

Sure enough, Zhou Miao's electric winch was suddenly hit by a big fish, and the rod was almost broken.

In the end, the fishing line couldn't withstand the strain and broke, which allowed the rod to be saved.

Zhou Miao, who had originally planned to go back to sleep if he didn't get any bites after a few casts, suddenly felt wide awake.

He quickly pressed the button to retract the cable, and finally discovered that the sub-line had been forcibly pulled off. How much force must have been used?

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Miao immediately opened a box of baby squid, grabbed some, and threw them into the water.

The big fish might run away after being hurt, but it still has a chance to come back once there is plenty of food here.

He didn't dump all the squid in at once, but threw them in a few at a time, creating a large clump in the water.

Only with enough food can the big fish be brought back.

After throwing in two boxes of baby squid, totaling forty pounds, Zhou Miao quickly took out his boat rod.

The fishing line was already tied on, specifically for big fish.

Originally, a heavy-duty electric reel was the best choice for fishing, but Zhou Miao hadn't caught any big fish since his physical condition improved, so he didn't have a clear understanding of his own abilities.

Today is a good opportunity. If I can catch a fish, I'll understand my current skill level once I bring it ashore.

When fishing for big fish, the bait chosen is no longer small squid, but the bighead cod that we caught tonight.

There happened to be a half-box next to him, and he picked out the smallest one, which weighed only about one and a half pounds.

He hooked the fish onto a small hook, about the size of his palm, and then cast the bait into the water.

Instead of holding the fishing rod, Zhou Miao installed it into the fishing hole and then quickly took out his belt and tied it on.

You can't catch big fish without this.
