Chapter 759 - 759: Successful Fishing
With an ear-splitting sound, the huge rock rolled down from the rock below and fell into the water with a plop.
[Ah! Dan’s d*mn boyfriend power.]
[Sharon is really a walking encyclopedia. Is there anything she doesn’t know?]
Dan carefully moved the huge rock away and the results did not disappoint everyone. Sure enough, a small fish floated up from under the rock.
After successfully capturing the first prey, everyone was very happy. They came over to admire and observe the small fish curiously. The small fish should have been knocked unconscious and was not dead. It lay quietly in Dan’s palm.
The small fish had zebra-like stripes on its body and six horizontal stripes on its body. It looked very good. Not only was this fish edible, but it could also be used as an ornamental fish. This fish was called the Stream Grouper. It had high requirements for water quality and its meat was very delicious.
“It’s quite good-looking.” Melinda felt that it was a pity. If not for the fact that they were in the wilderness and there was no food, she really wanted to bring this small fish home to raise.
“It should taste quite delicious.” Sharon looked at this little fish and felt that it was cute, but when she was hungry, she felt that it was more delicious. She could finally have a fragrant grilled fish or boiled fish soup to drink.
“I’ve heard that this kind of fish sells for dozens or even hundreds of dollars per catty,” Dan said.
“Then let’s continue searching and try to fill this bucket,” Shane said.
After successfully capturing the first small fish, everyone was even more confident. The three girls weren’t that strong, so the task of smashing the fish was mainly left to Shane and Dan.
The girls were in charge of looking for large rocks that had a gap at the bottom of the stream and might provide a place for the little fish to hide in. Soon, Sharon, Melinda, Melissa, and the others discovered several large rocks that might contain the fish.
Hearing that, Shane and Dan rushed over.
Shane was already eager to try. He tried to move a round stone beside a large rock that might have fish under it, but after moving it, the stone did not move at all.
Shane looked around and could only try another stone that was a little further away. He walked a few meters away and brought back a slightly smaller stone. This stone was neither big nor small, so it was relatively easy for him to move it.
“You have to be careful when you smash it. Don’t hit your feet,” Sharon reminded.
“Alright, everyone, try your best to stay away,” Shane reminded.
Everyone walked a few meters away to prevent getting hit by the small stones that flew out after the rock was smashed.
With a clang, both the stones that had been smashed and used as “hammer” were shattered. A few pieces of stone residue fell into the water.
Dan helped Shane and the both of them moved the big rock in the water away. Everyone was staring at the stone that was slowly being removed, in excitement.
To their surprise, as the rocks were moved away by the two of them bit by bit, the three small fish floated up. Two of the small fish floated up. When they were grabbed by Sharon and Melinda into the bucket, the two small fish still struggled for a while, but they were helplessly put into the bucket. The mouths of the two small fish bulged, making them look cute.
Only one small fish had blood seeping out of its body and it was grabbed by
Dan. The small fish lay in his palm, looking like it was on the verge of death.
“He should have been stunned,” Dan said as he looked at the fish in his hand. Then, he put the captured fish into a bucket.
[The fish said: I’m bleeding. You said I fainted.]
[I’m dying of laughter.]
[Under normal circumstances, the fish should be stunned. Brother should have used too much strength.]
“Let’s continue searching,” Sharon said encouragingly. “If we get more today, we can arrange for grilled fish and fish soup.”
After all, these small fish were still too small. If they wanted everyone to eat their fill, they probably still had a long and tough way fishing today.
Sharon discovered another large rock that was half submerged in the water. She found another large rock and wanted to smash it. When hitting rocks and shocking fish, many people would use sledgehammers. It was not easy to hold rocks due to their shapes, and it was not as energy-saving as a sledgehammer. Sharon hugged the heavy rock and smashed it into the big rock in the water.
With a clang, Sharon’s hands went numb from the shock.
Fortunately, because the water quality in this area was better, there were so many fish of all sizes here that they could pick them up for free. They found a lot of big fish, although they failed to catch them.
Firstly, these small fish were too small to be easily discovered. Secondly, they liked to hide in the cracks of the rocks. Not only could they hide themselves in the cracks of the rocks, but there was also abundant food like moss.
Sharon and the others smashed for a long time. Although there were many fish in this area, they couldn’t guarantee that there would be fish under the rocks every time. There were many rocks that didn’t have fish under them..
