At this mont, the fish in Lin Yang’s view resembled a sea wolf, but it was almost two ters in length. This size absolutely couldn’t be that of a sea wolf, and sea wolves couldn’t possibly swim this fast. The swimming speed of this fish could even be compared to that of so golden spearfish.
Just as Lin Yang was puzzled, the large fish in the sea suddenly accelerated and bit down on his bait, and he felt a trendous force transmitted from under the water.
Fortunately, Lin Yang was prepared, so the mont the big fish bit the hook, he hugged the fishing rod tightly.
"Co up, you!"
He instantly lifted the fishing rod and leaned back, starting to reel in the line.
This was because Lin Yang had the rod and line protection buffs. If it were a normal fishing rod, or if soone else used his rod and line set to catch this fish, it might have broken off and unhooked just now.
Due to this feature, the hooked fish was quite helpless. Yanked by Lin Yang, the pained creature almost instinctively lifted its head towards the surface and, leveraging its strong body power, it twisted and leaped out of the water.
When the fish jumped two or three ters out of the water, many viewers in Lin Yang’s live stream gasped; the fish looked incredibly long!
Of course, Lin Yang wouldn’t let it end there. Taking advantage of the mont it couldn’t leverage in the air, Lin Yang reeled in furiously and quickly brought the fish close to the stern. And at that mont, it fell back into the sea.
Though it had just fallen back into the sea and attempted to swim towards the deep, the shortened fishing line didn’t allow it to swim far; it could only struggle incessantly on the surface.
At this point, it was like those people who liked to hang behind yachts and surf, swaying left and right. No matter how much it struggled and thrashed, it could only futilely deplete its strength rapidly.
In just over twenty minutes, it felt like two hours had passed for the fish; its strength was drained.
Lin Yang took this opportunity to pull the creature over from the side of the boat. Then, with a gaff hook, he secured the fish’s gill and dragged it onto the yacht.
Once the fish was aboard the yacht, the live stream chat erupted even more.
"Whoa, that fish is so long, it must be two ters, seems even longer than the strear."
"The fish looks thin, but it’s pretty thick; that’s got to be over a hundred pounds, right?"
"What kind of fish is this? It looks a bit like a barracuda, yet also resembles a ribbon fish."
Looking at the comnts streaming on his phone, Lin Yang walked over to the big fish with a smile, then stroked its body and started to introduce it.
"This fish, it’s neither a ribbon fish nor a barracuda; it’s called a Stingray fish."
"Stingray?"
"Does this fish have a lot of spines, aren’t sea fish supposed to have few of them?"
Hearing Lin Yang na the fish, the viewers started to crack their jokes.
"Hahaha, whether it has many spines or not, I don’t know, because I’ve also caught it for the first ti. This species exists in our country as well, known by the common na of Ma You fish, and it is quite rare because they are not caught in large numbers. However, this creature is quite common in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Many people who go out to sea for fishing see this fish, but because it’s incredibly fast, swimming at speeds over 85 kiloters per hour in the sea, it’s usually seeable but uncatchable."
Stingray fish belong to the mackerel family and are similar to Mian fish, usually dying once they are brought ashore, so they can’t be kept alive.
However, the value and taste of this fish can’t compare with that of Mian fish. A sizable Mian fish can sell for at least 150 yuan each, but this Stingray fish would barely fetch 50 yuan.
It’s just because it’s a big fish; if it were a bit smaller, it might sell for just 30 yuan per pound.
Regardless of how much per pound this fish could sell for, Lin Yang had no intention of selling it. He planned to try it himself, with this fish serving as the ingredient for lunch and dinner. He had been worried that one Ma You fish wasn’t going to be enough, and now a gigantic Stingray fish had conveniently shown up.
This Stingray fish was also Lin Yang’s last catch for the day because after fishing for two or three hours, he had just managed to land such a large one, and catching another like it was not going to be easy.
Indeed, he fished for a while afterward and did not catch anything else.
Noticing the ti, it was just about noon. He then went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Wang Feng and the others were amazed to see him reel in such a large Stingray fish, but they seed to have slowly gotten used to such occurrences.
Upon entering the kitchen, Lin Yang’s main task was to prepare the Stingray. He began by making a cut near the fish’s gills to bleed and kill it, followed by descaling and gutting.
This fish’s scales couldn’t be scraped off like other fish due to its thick skin. They had to be peeled instead.
He simply took a knife and lightly peeled around the skin, which removed the scales in one piece without damaging the flesh underneath.
He then proceeded to remove the innards. Lin Yang actually enjoyed fish belly, but the belly of this fish was quite thin and seed to offer an average flavor when fried. Nevertheless, Lin Yang decided to keep the belly, discarding the rest of the innards.
