"Good heavens, Miss Fu, you've caught fish again!"
He Guohua laughed again. Because of the fish, the speedboat was swaying a bit. Li Zhong tried his best to balance the speedboat, while Fang Min continued to hold the landing net and wait.
Having fished with Fu Wan for a long time, Fang Min was also able to judge the size of the fish based on the reaction of the fishing rod.
The fish Fu Wan has caught now is significantly stronger than the hawksbill grouper from before, and it keeps pulling on the fishing line and thrashing about.
Li Zhong wasn't very familiar with how to drive a speedboat. Seeing this, Ah Cai quickly threw down his fishing rod, pulled Li Zhong away, and took the steering wheel of the speedboat back.
"Miss Fu, don't worry about reeling in the fish, I'll steer the boat and help you!"
Fu Wan had no time to respond to him at this moment. This fish was very irritable, and the reel kept spinning with a creaking sound.
Once it stopped spinning, Fu Wan quickly reeled in the line, but as soon as she tightened it a little, the fish would immediately start thrashing around, forcing her to let out the line again.
After several rounds, Fu Wan's hand was burning hot, so she hurriedly turned to Fang Min and gave her instructions.
"Fang Min, add water!"
"Oh, here it comes!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Min immediately picked up a mineral water bottle and kept pouring water onto Fu Wan's reel. The temperature instantly cooled down, but the fish was still locked in a stalemate with Fu Wan, as if it had inexhaustible energy.
"Damn it, they seem to have caught a big fish!"
He Guoli was so jealous that his eyes were almost red. He could see Fu Wan's fishing rod, which was bent into a crescent moon shape, very clearly.
Based on his experience, the fish below are definitely not small fry!
That damned Ho Kwok-wah, he actually found a formidable fisherman in the mainland!
"Hey, Guoli, don't worry. Look at her fishing rod. If she keeps going like this, the rod will definitely be ruined before she even catches a fish."
"It would be a miracle if we even managed to pull the fish up!"
Xu Zhiwei sourly comforted his nephew, saying that this woman from the mainland was really capable. If they didn't know that Fu Wan was coming to Hong Kong for the first time, they would have suspected that Fu Wan had been here countless times.
How come other people are catching fish in the same sea area, but I haven't had a single bite here?
Faced with this situation, Xu Zhiwei could only pray that Fu Wan wouldn't be able to reel in the fish, and that the fishing rod would break, preventing Fu Wan from ever catching any more fish.
However, Fu Wan was determined not to let them have their way; to her, this was a trivial matter.
We've pulled up moonfish, giant grouper, and bluefin tuna weighing hundreds of kilograms before, so what's this little commotion?
The stalemate has only lasted for less than ten minutes. If you encounter a particularly strong fish, the two of you could be locked in a stalemate from dawn till dusk.
That's the real fun of fishing, just like hunting in the mountains. The struggle between humans and their prey is one of the most primal instincts of humankind.
"Ah Cai, follow the direction of the fishing line and steer the boat; that fish is trying to escape!"
Seeing the fishing line slowly moving to the left, Fu Wan turned around and instructed A Cai.
Ah Cai is a good driver on land and a good helmsman at sea. Soon, their speedboat changed direction and followed the fishing line at a moderate speed.
At this time, the speed should not be too fast, because the noise of the speedboat will scare the fish. Of course, it should not be too slow either, otherwise the fish will find the reef before they can catch up and use the reef and coral to break free of the fishing line.
While the speedboat chased after the fish, Fu Wan was not idle, and she tried her best to reel in the fishing line from time to time.
He Guohua watched in horror, but he dared not speak, for fear of disturbing Fu Wanliuyu.
He could tell that fishing was no easy task. Just a moment ago, Miss Fu had been calm and collected, but now the veins on her forehead were bulging from the effort.
"Ah Wan, are you tired? Let me do it!"
Fang Min asked, although she wasn't very good at fishing, she had spent a year on the boat and had learned the basic techniques of playing fish.
"Okay, then you take my place, I'll have a drink of water!"
Fu Wan had indeed reached her limit. Taking advantage of the fishing line slackening again, she quickly handed the fishing rod to Fang Min, who then reeled in a few meters of fishing line.
Li Zhong handed her a bottle of freshly boiled water, and Fu Wan drank half of it in one gulp.
He Guohua then rubbed his hands together and came closer.
"Miss Fu, you have extensive fishing experience. Do you have any guesses about what kind of fish is down there?"
Fu Wan let out a breath and rubbed her slightly sore tiger's mouth.
"It's hard to say. With that kind of pulling force, it might actually be Gt."
"Gt?"
He Guohua was confused, but Ah Cai excitedly explained loudly.
"I know! Boss, Gt is the 'Ronin Trevally,' also known as the 'Bullback Trevally.' Wow, Miss Fu is amazing! She even managed to catch such a beautiful fish!"
Which fishing enthusiast wouldn't want a thrilling showdown with Gt? That's when Ah Cai has to take the boat, otherwise he would definitely ask Fu Wan to let him have a couple of swoops in and enjoy himself.
Oh dear, I wonder if he'll be able to invite Miss Fu out for a fishing trip after the fishing competition ends!
Ah Cai was incredibly envious, but He Guohua felt a pang of regret.
He didn't know Gt, but he had heard of Ronin Turtle.
This fish doesn't taste good and isn't very valuable. Isn't it a waste of effort to pull it up like this?
Fu Wan glanced at He Guohua and knew what he was thinking.
Tsk, it seems that a businessman like He Guohua probably doesn't understand the joys of fishing.
Fishing for monetary value is no fun at all. Sometimes, you have to go through a tug-of-war with the trevally to truly experience the joy of fishing.
Fang Min has better stamina than Fu Wan, but her fish-handling skills are not as good as Fu Wan's.
After only half an hour, Fang Min's forehead began to sweat.
During this time, Li Zhong poured water on the reel several times. After a while, the reel started squeaking again. If it weren't for the water, it would probably have produced sparks.
"Haha, we've caught a big fish too!"
Xu Zhiwei's smug voice carried on the sea breeze. Fu Wan and the others looked up and realized that they had followed them without them noticing, and the speedboat was about a hundred meters away from them.
At this moment, He Guoli's fishing rod also bent down quickly, and the fishing line was pulled straight, indicating that a big fish had taken the bait.
Li Zhong tensed up upon hearing this, but Fu Wan didn't look at them anymore. Instead, she found the fishhook that Ah Cai had prepared from the pile of tools on the speedboat.
Because the fish she had caught was about to be pulled out of the water, and after a stalemate of almost an hour, the fish was exhausted.
Fu Wan looked closely and realized it was indeed a bullhead trevally.
But perhaps sensing the approaching danger, the bull trevally exerted its strength again the moment Fang Min pulled it out of the water.
No sooner said than done, Fu Wan raised her fishing hook and quickly hooked the bullhead trevally. He Guohua and Li Zhong were dumbfounded. Before they could even come to their senses, Fu Wan threw the nearly one-meter-long bullhead trevally at their feet!
