Chapter 499 - 229: Broke the Record_2
Despite Captain Harry’s mental preparation, he was still visibly shocked upon seeing the gigantic Bluefin Tuna that defied all expectations.
"Captain Harry, I’ve decided to use my other slot. Let’s try to hoist this fish aboard! I want to take it back to our country," said Lin Yang with a smile.
The captain nodded, "Dammit, this is a record-breaking big fish. Are you sure you want to take it back to the country?"
"Of course, why? Is there a problem?" Lin Yang was slightly puzzled upon sensing something in the captain’s tone.
"Such a large Bluefin Tuna, I estimate it’s at least 1400 pounds. This could be a record-breaking fish. If you decide to process it yourself back in your country, that brings up issues concerning the fish’s weight recording and preliminary processing!"
"I understand about the weight record, but what do you mean by preliminary processing?" Lin Yang asked curiously after listening.
"Prolonged struggling results in excessive lactic acid build-up in the muscles and blood of the fish, which severely affects the taste of this fine fish. Therefore, the best approach is to bleed the fish as soon as possible!
However, bleeding the fish can affect the weighing after it’s ashore. Our boat’s hoist isn’t capable of weighing the fish or even hoisting it aboard!"
"Oh, you mean to ensure the finest quality and condition of the fish, we need to bleed it now?
