After a while, Chu Mingcheng finally pulled his first fish to the surface.

The color distribution of this fish was very interesting, with four to five short, brown stripes on its back, a body covered in white spots, and a mouth, fins, and tail that were yellow.

Chu Mingcheng immediately recognized this distinctive fish as a very precious Emperor Starfish, with a market price of five hundred yuan per half kilogram.

Of course, it couldn’t fetch that price in Qiongzhou.

Because resources were plentiful, fish that were rare in other regions weren’t necessarily so in Qiongzhou.

This type of grouper was the second largest fish in the gill spiny perch family, with adult lengths reaching up to 1.2 meters.

The one Chu Mingcheng caught was very large, nearly a meter in his estimation, and probably weighed around thirty kilograms.

Being more slender in body, this fish didn’t weigh as much as others of the same length like the green spot or tiger spot.

“Damn, caught such a big one right away?” Zhang Wei and Chen Yang both complained in unison, finding nothing to say about Chu Mingcheng always catching big and valuable fish.

“It’s fate, something you can’t envy,” Chu Mingcheng said with a laugh as he handed the fish over to the deckhand to quickly store in the cold storage.

The price of Emperor Starfish when frozen is much less, but with the weight considered, selling for two hundred yuan per half kilogram was still not a problem.

There wasn’t anything to be done about the price being lower than that of live fish, as the Emperor Starfish pulled from deep sea had already regurgitated its stomach up to its mouth, and even if he wanted to keep it alive in the live water tank, it wouldn’t survive.

Seeing Chu Mingcheng’s big catch right from the start made the others lose interest in chatting, each turning their attention to their own fishing rods, hoping for similar luck.

The rest of the people on the boat and some nearby anglers didn’t know that at the moment, the highest density of fish was right under Chu Mingcheng.

If someone went to the cockpit to check the fish finder, they would find that the fish were more concentrated around the rear deck area.

Out of a hundred fish, there would definitely be about ten that were attracted to the hooks on Chu Mingcheng’s side, and the fish drawn to them were some of the larger ones among them.

Additionally, the fish gathering function was continuous; if new fish came into the affected area, there was a ten percent chance they would be attracted, leading to an increasing accumulation of fish.

This also allowed the few anglers near Chu Mingcheng to enjoy this benefit, and their catches for the night were also quite good.

Not only Zhang Wei and his group, but even some strangers fishing nearby also benefited a bit that night, occasionally catching a deep-sea fish, likely making a nice return.

Paula’s face was constantly filled with joy from her catch. When had she ever been so wealthy before?

She normally loved lure fishing, but what was the situation with lure fishing?

Not ending up with an empty hook was already considered good fishing on her part.

She had actually fished for a while in the morning and the afternoon, but the catch was poor, amounting to only three fish all day.

But she never expected that due to Zhang Wei’s invitation, by fishing alongside them for just two hours that evening, she caught nearly fifty kilograms of deep-sea fish.

“Mingcheng oppa, do you know there are a lot of fish here, is there some trick to finding the spot?”

Chu Mingcheng was taken aback when suddenly called oppa, but remembering how she first called Jiang Luoluo “sister” and then switched to “onni”, he didn’t make much of the term.

After all, she was a Peninsular person and more accustomed to using her own regional terms, which wasn’t strange.

“What trick could there be, just ask the deckhand which water layer has fish, then fish in that layer, right?”

“But I asked during the day too, and still, I only caught three fish all day.”

“That’s different, most deep-sea fish like to be active at night, and now is their peak feeding time, so it’s not strange that the fish come up faster.”

“Oh, I see!” Paula nodded, but in reality, she didn’t receive any useful information.

She had a deep understanding of lure fishing and her equipment was entirely adequate, so she knew when the fishing would likely be good.

Before coming to Nansha to fish, she had looked up quite a few guides and watched many videos, but these seemed quite mystical and didn’t offer much help.

Now that she had met some fishing enthusiasts, she naturally wanted to learn more from following them.

After continuing to fish for a while, Chu Mingcheng decided to replace his small electric reel with a larger one.

Because of the continuous attraction from the fish gathering function, the fish clustering around his bait were not small.

This meant the small electric reel was quite slow and not very efficient.

Once he switched to the large electric reel, his efficiency immediately improved by a notch, pulling up fish nearly every short while that weighed around ten kilograms.

He had already caught over a hundred kilograms of fish, and like before, his catch was still more than twice that of people nearby.

Just then, an excited cheer suddenly came from not far beside him.

He looked up to see two deckhands using a crane to pull up a nearly one-meter-long Stone Fish, and importantly, it was the Seven-band Grouper he had been keeping an eye on.

Seeing that they used a Bomb fish about thirty centimeters long, Chu Mingcheng immediately made plans.

He instructed the deckhand to get him two of the same Bomb fish. Then he reeled in his line, replaced the leader, and hook, ready to aim for big game.

The deckhand soon brought him two Bomb fish. Jiang Luoluo and the others knew what he was planning, but they didn’t blindly follow suit.

Mainly because the fishing was good at the moment, they could occasionally pull up a deep-sea fish.
