I rely on fishing to achieve freedom in life

Chapter 85 Super large orchid crab!
"3800 meters to the southeast, there are 12000 sand pointed fish, each weighing three taels."

Suddenly, a very eye-catching message caught Bai Lang's eyes.

When he saw this information, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He had never seen such a large school of sand pointed fish gathered together.

The most important thing is that these sand pointed fish are not small in size, reaching three or two.

People who have no idea about fish may think that the sand pointed fish weighing three to two is just a small fish.

In fact, this is already considered a very big size among sand pointed fish.

This kind of sand pointed fish is very popular in the market, and the price is not low. It can be sold for at least 30 yuan per catty.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a large group of sand pointed fish in a place like this."

Bailang couldn't help but sigh.

The sea area where they are now is still within the scope of the town's fishermen.

Even if you can usually find schools of sand pointed fish here, they are only a few hundred, or at most thousands, and they are much smaller.

But the fish group in front of us actually exceeded ten thousand, and the average weight reached three taels.

It can be said that this is a rare and large school of fish.

"Should we go offline?"

Bailang hesitated for a moment, then gave up his idea.

This group of sand pointed fish is indeed not small and has certain economic value, but compared with the target fish I went out to sea today, it is still a little bit worse.

Within a few minutes, he found that the group of sand pointed fish quickly moved away from him.

"Hey, it seems you are still a little too greedy."

Bai Lang couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

If you are an ordinary fisherman or if you don't have a system, you will definitely try your best to catch them all when you encounter a school of sand pointed fish like this.

But now his appetite is too big.

With the fishing system in place, he couldn't care less about such schools of sand pointed fish.

To put it bluntly, I am a bit greedy. I feel that the economic value of sand pointed fish is not high, and even if I catch them all, I won’t be able to sell them for much.

"This kind of weather seems to be only suitable for setting fishing nets, not for placing hooks."

Looking at the turbulent sea, Bai Lang suddenly thought of this.

As time goes by, the wind and waves will definitely get bigger and bigger, and in this case, it is really not suitable to release the discharge hook.

Because in such wind and waves, it would be more troublesome and dangerous to pull up the row hook.

Even if you really catch a fish, the rolling sea surface is likely to cause the sub-lines of these row hooks to get entangled or simply break.

Especially if the release hook hits a big fish, such a thing is more likely to happen.

Bailang thought about it for a while, then simply came to the village chief who was driving the boat.

"Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you. If we encounter a school of fish later, should we lower the hook or lower the fishing net?"

The village chief must be more experienced in such matters.

Sure enough, when the village chief heard what he said, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Today's wind and waves are too strong and the waves are undulating. The effect of lowering the fishing net is much better than lowering the hook!"

Although in such weather, whether it is setting the hook or lowering the fishing net, it will be more difficult than usual.

But relatively speaking, it is more convenient to launch a fishing net.

The most important thing is that if a fish is caught, it is not easy for those fish to break free in the fishing net.

But if it is a row hook, it will be easy to break free.

After listening to the village chief's suggestion, Bai Lang knew that his judgment was correct.

In such weather and windy waves, it is indeed better to lower the fishing net than to lower the hook.

After confirming this, Bailang returned to the bow of the boat, and then began to concentrate on searching for fish.

"1200 meters northwest, there are 365 sand pointed fish, all weighing three taels."

"2700 meters to the southeast, there are 462 sand pointed fish, each weighing three taels."

Bailang looked at the information refreshed by the system and was really speechless.

Although there were many fish and shrimps in the entire sea area today, what he found the most was the sand pointed fish, and they were all in groups and quite big.

“Is the only life I have left today is fishing for sand pointed fish?”

Bailang shook his head.

He really didn't want to catch this kind of fish.

Although he encountered a lot of sand pointed fish and they were relatively large in size, he always felt that such fish were still too cheap.

If you catch such fish, even if you work all night, you will only earn more than 20 to [-] yuan, which may be less than what you usually earn when going to sea.

But he didn't encounter any other valuable fish species along the way. This was the most deadly place.

If there is, he can directly target a certain fish and then find where this fish gathers in large numbers.

"Ten meters due east, there is one orchid crab, each weighing one pound and four taels."

Looking at the latest message that appeared on the interface, Bai Lang was stunned.

How could such a big orchid crab suddenly appear 10 meters away from me?

What's going on? Where did this orchid crab come from?
Bai Lang muttered in confusion, then looked towards the east.

Sure enough, there was a very large orchid crab floating on the sea not far from him.

"It's really big."

Bailang couldn't help sighing again.

Orchid crab is a very common sea crab with good economic value, especially the big one.

The orchid crab in front of me actually weighs one pound and forty taels, which is simply the Big Mac among orchid crabs.

Seeing the orchid crab in the waves floating towards the side of the boat, Bailang couldn't help it. He picked up the long-handled dip net at his feet and fished the orchid crab out of the sea. .

"Where did the orchid crab come from? This head is too big. I have never seen such a big orchid crab before!"

Wang Jianguo saw Bailang fishing out a crab from the sea, and immediately came over and asked.

He has been fishing for more than ten years and has seen many orchid crabs, but he has never seen such a big one.

If the two pincers of this large orchid crab are extended, it is estimated to be half a meter, and the crab body is thicker than an adult's arm.

Such orchid crabs can definitely fetch a very respectable price in the market.

Generally speaking, an orchid crab weighing five or six ounces is already very large, and one weighing more than one kilogram is considered the best. The orchid crab in front of me now weighs one and a half kilograms, which is considered the best among the best.

"Indeed, I have never seen this kind of orchid crab. If you were in a high-end hotel, one crab like this might cost hundreds."

Bailang also nodded.

Orchid crabs, like other seafood, are more valuable the bigger they are.

Generally, the fresh orchid crabs sold in the market come in 20 or [-] pieces, and the price per pound is about [-] yuan.

If a Big Mac like this weighs more than a pound and is really sold in some hotels, it can definitely be sold for hundreds of dollars.

Because such an orchid crab can be made into a dish by itself.

A large orchid crab is placed on a large plate. It is very decent. It sells for 588 or 688, and some people can afford it. After all, the rich eat the cards. "Prodigal Son, if we can catch some such big orchid crabs, we will definitely not have to worry about selling them, and we will definitely be able to sell them at a good price."

As a fisherman, Wang Jianguo knows the price of seafood very well, and he also knows very well how rare this big orchid crab is.

It can be said that even if you squat on the dock for a year, you may not encounter such a big orchid crab once.

This is something that real money cannot buy.

Bai Lang didn't particularly care about what Wang Jianguo said.

But suddenly, he felt a flash of inspiration in his mind and figured out something.

That is, he failed to track the fish for such a long time, which was actually a mistake.

Who said you have to fish when you go out to sea?
In addition to fish, there are also various crabs and various prawns in the sea.

Since he didn't find any fish that could be netted, he could try crabs and prawns.

Just like the orchid crab in front of you, it can also be sold at a very good price.

In fact, there is no need for such a large orchid crab. Orchid crabs of about one pound are already very popular in the market, and the price is definitely not low.

"Hey, how could I forget this? Who said you have to fish? Crabs and prawns are also good."

Bailang patted the back of his head.

When he searched for fish just now, he only locked the fish option alone, or there was no filtering at all.

As a result, there was a lot of information. When he checked just now, he may have missed many seafood groups.

Now an orchid crab of this size suddenly appears on the surrounding sea surface. Maybe there is a swarm of orchid crabs nearby.

After figuring it out, Bailang locked the Orchid Crab directly on the interface without saying a word.

next moment.

"3200 meters due east, there are 340 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound or two."

"3800 meters due east, there are 846 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound."

"6700 meters due east, there are 974 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound or two."

"."

Bailang was stunned when he saw a series of information suddenly refreshed on the interface.

He had no idea that there would be so many orchid crabs not far from them, and they were all huge orchid crabs.

"Could it be that the orchid crab just now was one of this large group of orchid crabs? And then for some unknown reason, for example, it was scattered by the waves and slowly drifted to our side?"

Bailang knew that this was probably the case.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the orchid crab to suddenly appear less than ten meters away from him.

The reason why he has not found this large orchid crab group is probably because they are far away, so they have not been refreshed yet.

"Haha, it seems it's hard not to make a fortune today."

Bailang was somewhat grateful for his good luck at this time.

If this orchid crab hadn't suddenly appeared not far from him, he might have missed this huge group of orchid crabs today.

"Boss Bai, where did you get such a big orchid crab? Can I steam it later?"

Tang Dahai, who had been seasick just now, finally recovered some strength.

He walked over slowly, and when he saw the big crab in Bailang's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had vomited everything in his stomach just now, and now he was feeling hungry and wanted to get something to eat.

"Haha, if you want to eat, you can eat whatever you want, it will definitely be enough!"

If there was only one orchid crab of this size, Bailang might need to consider it.

But after discovering that large group of orchid crabs, Tang Dahai can now eat whatever he wants.

Tang Dahai was very smart, and he immediately understood the meaning of Bailang's words.

"Boss Bai, have you discovered a swarm of orchid crabs? If so, that would be great!"

It can be said that Tang Dahai has suffered a lot from going to sea to now.

But that was nothing. What he was worried about was that Bailang would not be able to find the fish this time, or something else would happen.

But what he didn't expect was that Bailang actually found a group of orchid crabs now, and looking at the size of this orchid crab, he knew that the other orchid crabs were definitely not small.

If all the orchid crabs caught by then are of this size, he will definitely make a fortune.

Although it was uncomfortable to be bumpy on the sea, as long as he could make money, no matter how much suffering he suffered, he felt it was worth it.

"Haha, Boss Tang, don't be so excited. I do suspect that there is a swarm of orchid crabs nearby, but I have to find them first."

Although he said that, Bailang knew that they were not far from the Orchid Crab swarm.

So we must be prepared now to catch them all in one fell swoop.

He came to the driver's cab of the ship and said to the village chief: "Village chief, due east, a large orchid crab floated over there just now. I suspect there may be a swarm of crabs over there."

The village chief had been waiting for a long time. Now when he heard Bailang say that he had made a discovery, he immediately began to turn the ship's bow and sail towards the east.

"Uncle Jianguo, take out our crab net. We must prepare in advance."

Seeing that the big ship had begun to move in the direction of the crab swarm, Bailang immediately began to arrange manpower.

The fishing gear they brought out this time was very complete, including a large crab net.

Wang Jianguo had been gearing up for a long time. Now after hearing Bai Lang's instructions, he immediately took out all the crab nets in the cabin.

A crab net is actually a fishing net with very large mesh.

Because crabs have a lot of claws and they are not small when they are all stretched out, so there is no need to worry about missing them.

As long as the crabs are caught in this kind of fishing net, if their claws move randomly, they will be easily entangled and unable to escape.

When Bai Lang saw that Wang Jianguo had prepared the crab net and everything else, he immediately took out the intercom on the ship and informed Dazhu behind him to follow him and follow his instructions when to lower the crab net.

The village chief drove the fishing boat and kept moving forward despite the wind and waves.

Bailang stared at the information that was constantly refreshing on the interface.

"3000 meters ahead, there are 340 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound or two."

"2000 meters ahead, there are 340 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound or two."

"1000 meters ahead, there are 340 orchid crabs, each weighing one pound or two."

Seeing these orchid crabs getting closer and closer to him, Bailang suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason.

When he set the hook to catch the bass before, he wasn't nervous at all, but now he found that he was really a little nervous.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Everyone get ready!"

"There's still 500 meters to go, let's set down the crab net!"

When Bailang saw that the first group of crabs were only tens of meters away from him, he immediately shouted.

Wang Jianguo had already made all preparations. When he heard his shout, he immediately threw the lead weight tied to the crab net.

I don't know if it was too strong or for other reasons, but when it hit the sea, it made a huge splash.

The village chief was very experienced. When he saw this situation, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the fishing boat suddenly accelerated.

The crab net that had been prepared long ago disappeared into the sea water quickly, like a wild horse that had taken off its reins, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.
