Chu Mingcheng had a foam box on each side, dead Rat Spots were taken off and tossed into the left box, which was for keeping for himself or giving away; the fish meant for sale were all placed in the more accessible right-side foam box.
He then continued to pull in the longline, and the second branch line also had a fish, a Big Black Sea Bream that looked to be about three or four jin in weight, which he threw into the right-side foam box.
The longline was heavy, and indeed, there was a fish on nearly every branch line.
When the last foam box could not fit anymore, he just threw it onto the deck.
Out of one hundred hooks, seventy-seven had caught fish, and several of the hooks were damaged, clearly having had fish on them before they managed to struggle free.
Chu Mingcheng took the fish intended for sale to be weighed, three hundred and seventeen jin.
