Jiang Han frowned. He had been fishing on his own boat all this time, and the people he went out to sea with were his regular friends.

They had absolute trust in him, and he hadn't heard anyone say that to him in a while.

"Old Zheng, just follow my instructions."

For him, whether to lift the hook or not depends mainly on whether the fish bites the hook.

He asked them to cast their hooks at a location where there were a lot of silver cod.

For him, whether or not to hook the ball depends not on experience but on his eyes.

At this moment, the silver cod had almost finished biting the hooks and were slowly coming off the hooks.

Compared with ordinary single-rod fishing, the probability of decoupling in this longline fishing is much higher.

The later they took to hook the fish, the more fish would fall off the hook.

Jiang Han didn't want to waste time with Lao Zheng. "I'm the captain of the boat. Just do as I say."

A higher-ranking official can crush anyone, and he is the most powerful person on this ship. Others have to obey him even if they are dissatisfied.

Old Zheng was immediately choked up, his face flushed. He had come to remind him out of kindness, but he hadn't expected that young Jiang Han would be so unyielding.

"Okay, you're the captain, I'll listen to you. So, can you tell me what fish you're targeting this time?"

Jiang Han didn't shy away from saying this, "Silver cod."

Lao Zheng was so angry that he almost laughed. He had helped other boats catch silver cod using longline fishing before.

The time it takes to cast the hook for silver cod is at least 6 hours, and the ideal time is generally 6 to 8 hours.

As a result, their young captain told him to start fishing in less than an hour, or to be exact, more than forty minutes.

Aren’t you afraid that all the hooks you pull up are empty?

Old Zheng gave Jiang Han a thumbs-up in a sarcastic tone, "You're good, you're amazing. I'll have everyone pull up all the hooks now."

The other crew members had already told him to forget about any commissions on this trip. Just getting the basic salary would be enough.

Originally, he still had some extravagant hopes, thinking that he could get some commission from sailing such a large and good ship.

Now, if you meet such a guy, you can get a commission.

When Lao Zheng walked over, the crew member next to him was still asking, "What's going on? Have you explained it clearly?"

Old Zheng was so angry that he kept shaking his head, "Don't mention it, let's pick up the hook."

"Ah? Is it really hooked so quickly?" The crew members nearby were also stunned.

"Don't ask so many questions. He's the captain of the boat, and we're just working for pay. Whatever he says is what we have to do. Even if it's a row of empty hooks, we have to pull them up for him."

Lao Zheng asked the crew to get ready, and the boat slowly started to move, with the speed steady at around six knots.

Moreover, the boat and the line maintain an angle of 30 degrees. When the boat starts moving, the boat carries the line along, making it much easier to hook the line.

When the first hook came up, Lao Zheng couldn't believe his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes and saw that there was indeed a cod on the hook.

Lao Zheng threw the fish into the fish basket. The fish was quite heavy and looked like a silver cod weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Is this guy so lucky?

There will definitely not be such good luck later on. This hook is just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

The crew member next to him called out to Lao Zheng, "Lao Zheng, what are you standing there for?"

Once the ship starts, they must move in precise rhythm like screws on an assembly line.

Lao Zheng came to his senses and continued to fish. Soon, the second silver cod was in the basket.

Then, the third, fourth, and fifth silver cod all went into the basket...

When one basket was full, another was replaced.

Basket after basket, all the crew members moved at a high pace.

Lao Zheng was completely dumbfounded, and the other crew members were almost as dumbfounded as well.

"Old Zheng, this isn't right. Did we get the time wrong? Have these hooks been in the sea for hours?"

Lao Zheng also wondered if he had made a mistake?
