"It's almost time to lower the fishing nets."
Song Weiguo said: "We have reached a place far away from the shore."
"good."
Song Ye called some crew members over to help and threw down all the fishing nets.
The fishing nets they used this time were matched with the big boats, and they could catch more fish than the fishing nets used by the small boats.
They were busy on the deck.
In particular, Song Ye, Song Weiguo, and Song Jun all went fishing in the open sea for the first time, and they even felt a sense of freshness.
"It's a whale."
Just then, one of the crew members standing on the edge of the deck shouted.
Song Ye, Song Weiguo, and Song Jun quickly walked over to watch. They saw a whale swimming quickly towards the distance, as if it wanted to eat the fish in the fishing net.
"The whale is also a fish, and we caught it."
Song Ye made a bold decision.
There is no ban on whaling yet, they can catch whales.
Song Weiguo and Song Jun nodded in agreement.
If such a big whale is captured, it will definitely be sold for a lot of money.
They came to the harpoon on the edge of the deck and used it to target the approaching whale.
These spearguns have ropes tied to their tails so they can be retrieved at any time.
"Shua..."
Song Ye aimed the speargun at the whale and fired it first.
Unfortunately, he had little experience with the speargun.
The first blow missed, not even damaging the whale's scales.
Song Weiguo, Song Jun, and other crew members all fired the spearguns they controlled.
Except for the speargun used by one of the crew members, which penetrated into the tail of the whale, all the spearguns used by the rest of the crew missed.
"Hurry up and retract the rope."
Song Weiguo quickly gave orders to the crew members next to him.
Song Jun and some crew members had already started to take action, turning the wheel on the deck to quickly recover the hemp rope connected to the speargun.
The whale, whose tail was pierced by a harpoon, was pulled closer to the ship by the hemp rope connected to the harpoon to hoist it onto the deck.
Song Ye had little experience in fishing, so he could only stand by and watch.
This is a whale. If you are not careful, it will escape.
This whale is really huge, estimated to be about fifteen meters long.
It was struggling desperately to break free.
"Crash..."
The water in the ocean was constantly splashed by its body.
"Hurry up and recycle the hemp rope and pull it up."
Song Weiguo urged.
If this whale is caught, it can bring them a lot of income, which is much more profitable than the big yellow croaker.
Song Weiguo and some crew members turned the wheel faster and faster, using all their strength.
Song Ye grabbed the guardrail at the edge of the deck and looked at the whales below.
He felt that this time, the chance of success was very small.
The speargun only pierced the whale's tail, not its body, and did not cause fatal damage to the whale.
A small wound is negligible to a whale and will not affect its strength.
Moreover, the harpoon pierced into the whale's tail slowly separated from the whale's body as the whale continued to struggle.
Unless they can pull the whale to the deck within one minute, the plan to capture the whale may not necessarily fail.
The result was exactly as Song Ye expected.
When the whale was about to be slowly lifted from the ocean by the hemp rope of the spear gun.
The whale, which was more than ten meters long, struggled violently again, swung its tail vigorously, got rid of the spear gun, and dived into the bottom of the ocean.
"Pity."
Song Weiguo couldn't help but sigh when he saw the whale escaping.
Song Jun and other crew members all felt a little regretful.
But if you run away, you just run away. No matter how much you regret, it is useless.
The wheel does not have to lift the huge whale, and the resistance is much smaller.
Not long after, they recovered the speargun tied with hemp rope on the deck, ready to wait for the next use.
Song Ye said: "It's better for this whale to run away, so as not to disturb our fishing and scare away the fish in the fishing net."
"That's right."
Song Weiguo nodded, thinking it made sense.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
As long as there is one of these aspects, you will gain a lot.
Furthermore, this whale appears near this area, and they still have a chance to catch it tomorrow.
Time passes very quickly, minute by minute.
Unknowingly, dusk gradually fell.
Song Ye, Song Weiguo and others did not know how many times they collected the fishing nets or threw them down.
The fish they caught had already filled the entire deck, forming a thick layer.
There were so many fish, at least fifty times more than they usually had.
You will never be able to catch so many fish using a small boat.
Not only cannot large fishing nets be used, but they cannot hold so many fish.
Song Ye and Song Weiguo did not let the captain return.
They had dinner directly on the boat, and then continued to collect and lower the nets.
At night, many fish become more active, especially under moonlight and starlight, and deep-sea fish are easier to catch.
Song Ye's family, together with all the crew, caught fish for a whole day and night.
It wasn't until early the next morning that they began their return voyage.
If the big boat had not run out of room to put fish, they would have continued fishing for several hours.
At this moment.
At the pier of the small fishing village, there are already many fishermen, who came to the pier early to prepare to fish in the sea.
"Song Weiguo and his two sons went out fishing in a big boat yesterday morning. They haven't come back yet. Do you think their big boat has sunk in the ocean?"
A fisherman in his forties whispered.
"It's very possible that it's been the second day and he hasn't come back yet. Song Weiguo wouldn't have fished for so long before."
"Well, Lao Song was quite a nice person. Every time he saw me, he greeted me with a smile and handed me a cigarette. Seeing that he died, I felt a little bit sorry in my heart."
"Song Weiguo had two sons. The younger son married a wife and gave birth to a little granddaughter. He was originally happy."
"I don't know what he was thinking. He insisted on renting a big boat and going fishing in the distant sea. Now it's better. The incense of the ancestors has been cut off, and there is no successor."
…
Some of the fishermen preparing to enter the sea sighed, while others felt that Song Weiguo, Song Ye, and Song Jun should not be greedy for wealth.
The result was good, no money was made, and even lives were lost.
Zhang Dahai, who arrived at the dock early, sneered in his heart.
If Song Ye's family could die in the ocean, it would be the best thing for him.
That way, he wouldn't have to ask anyone to take action.
Song Ye's family was all wiped out, and he lost a strong competitor.
