The fishing line at the stern snapped suddenly
—only a fish weighing a few hundred pounds
could exert such force If it wasn't a shark then it must be the long-coveted Ranzhikin whale
Just thinking about this makes the captain nearly满分 high-quality Ranzhijing
whales can easily be worth tens
of thousands of dollars and
the foot-training line is
both convenient and effortless—less than three hours
The large fish was pulled to the stern
of the boat to prevent it from
breaking the hook so the old captain quickly used the hook to secure the fish's head
The large fish began to struggle violently the
companions kept the hook
embedded in its jaw and finally
subdued it completely After cooling it down underwater
for two hours they hauled the fish aboard the boat
This fish doesn't look very large
but its length reaches 84 feet
now let's see how much this fish could sell for in dollars
After trimming the head and tail the fish weighed 241 pounds next
the quality of the flesh
was assessed—though not large the fish had a good fat content and
beautifully colored meat
The clarity of the core section is also
good Overall the quality of this fish is above average Therefore the wholesaler
offered a unit price of twenty dollars
This fish ultimately sold
for $4 820—a solid price for
such a small specimen given the intermediary's offer
Captain Gray hooked a large fish at dusk
and the degree to which the fishing rod
bent clearly showed how big it was reeling
it in was an extremely slow process
It wasn't until late at night that they finally hauled
the massive fish to the boat's stern whereupon their
companion swiftly hurled the
harpoon ending the grueling struggle Quickly he
made use of the hook and rope
Successfully secured the tail
An hour after the temperature dropped he
hauled the fish aboard
the boat—this one looked
massive and plump measuring an astonishing 109
inches in length easily
weighing over 600 pounds
If the quality is good the price
is likely to be close to $20 000 Now
let's take a look at exactly how much this big fish is worth in dollars
After gutting and trimming it weighs
just 660 pounds next let's examine the
quality of the flesh—unsurprisingly this
fish has an exceptionally
high fat content
The fish's color and core are both
perfect this fish is of top-grade
quality so Zhongjin Trading offered a price of 25 dollars per unit
This large fish sold for $16 500—
just look at their faces to see how
thrilled they were they hadn’t expected
the fish to fetch such a high price
Bluefin tuna though expensive is notoriously
difficult to catch some
captains go a whole week
without landing a single one so when bluefin are unavailable they target yellowfin tuna instead
For household use the price for purchasing yellowfin tuna is extremely low
ranging from just $3 to $5 per pound and
Captain Will caught twenty yellowfin tuna
It sold for just $1 217—barely
enough to cover fuel costs—so to
generate income they'd have to find a way to catch bluefin tuna
Taylor stayed adrift at sea all night just
to go fishing and luckily he
hooked a big one tonight— it took the two of them three hours to haul it to the back of the boat
Taylor accurately speared the large fish with a harpoon then secured it by tying a rope around
its tail and finally threaded
the line through after cooling it down
This fish measured 87 inches in length
Now let's see how much this fish is worth in dollars
After removing the head and tail the net weight is 282 pounds
Finally the quality of the fish flesh is assessed
This fish has an exceptionally high fat
content with particularly beautiful flesh
color and a translucent glistening core
intermediaries hold it in very high regard
So he quoted a price of $28 per unit the
fish ultimately sold for $7 896 Taylor hadn 't
fetched such a high price in a long time
which once again boosted his confidence
Turning around he set sail back out to sea
