Chapter 297 - 297 252 A Slap Knockout
?Chapter 297: Chapter 252: A Slap Knockout Chapter 297: Chapter 252: A Slap Knockout With all the fishing lines reeled in, the deck was crawling with Emperor Crabs.
Chu Mingcheng, holding scissors, released the crabs from the lines one by one, then tossed them into the live well.
Since Emperor Crabs are large in size, about five hundred pounds of them filled the live well to the brim.
If later the crab pots were pulled up, the crabs would probably have to be stacked.
Fortunately, their shells were hard enough, and considering the crabs inside the pots were smaller, there was no fear of crushing those below.
After all the crab pots had been hauled up and all the Emperor Crabs placed into the live well, the morning had passed.
Working alone indeed slowed things down, which is why it’s standard for a boat to take some crew when sailing out to sea; a division of labor naturally increases efficiency.
Chu Mingcheng didn’t immediately go to prepare lunch, but instead steered the boat towards the coral reef to collect the lobster pots.
The Australian lobster catch was mediocre; he threw back those that didn’t meet the size requirements, keeping only sixteen, weighing a total of seventy-three pounds.
The average weight here was about three to four pounds, mainly because there were three exceptionally large ones that each weighed just over ten pounds.
Such weight is considered quite large for Australian lobsters and might fetch a higher price.
The Tiger Crabs, however, were rather extraordinary, with the lobster pots nearly full to the entrance.
Chu Mingcheng was surprised to find so many Tiger Crabs here since he hadn’t noticed that many the previous night while diving.
After releasing the smaller ones back into the sea, there was still a weight of one hundred and fifty-six pounds left.
It was only because his lobster pots were relatively large that there was enough space to contain the Tiger Crabs.
Unfortunately, that was about as big as Tiger Crabs got, with the largest one weighing only two pounds.
Since Chu Mingcheng skipped lunch, he simply took the two-pound Tiger Crab into the kitchen with him.
