Chen Zhiyao had originally set her sights on a dark figure that was neither too close nor too far from her. The figure was slender and looked somewhat like a large yellow croaker.
Unexpectedly, not long after the bait sank into the water, a large black shadow rushed over and ate the delicious shrimp halfway there.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous pulling force came from the fishing rod in my hand.
The familiar, intense dragging sensation instantly energized Chen Zhiyao, making her as excited as if she'd been injected with adrenaline.
After the pressure was released, she looked down at the fish below.
Judging by its size, it was quite large and slender, but also rather round. For a moment, she couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.
However, she had no time to study it. The strong pulling force coming from her hand soon drew all of Chen Zhiyao's attention.
She turned off the X-ray glasses and focused on playing with the fish.
She hadn't caught a big fish in many days, and that familiar, intense pulling sensation instantly ignited her passion.
When the fish is swimming forward with all its might, turn on the drag to make it exert itself and consume its energy. When it changes direction or swims back, take the opportunity to reel in the fishing line.
The fishing line is constantly being pulled back and forth, and the fish's strength is gradually being depleted.
She had just reeled in seven or eight meters of fishing line when the fish changed direction.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the guy changed direction again and swam frantically in the opposite direction from the fishing boat.
The powerful pull stretched the hook into a terrible arc, and the reel was also pulled with a screeching sound.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Fish caught
Chen Zhiyao had been playing with the fish for 10 minutes, but the fish was still in great spirits and its strength had not diminished at all.
"Good stamina and strength. This guy must weigh at least fifteen or sixteen pounds."
Chen Zhiyao, a newly minted fishing enthusiast, finally caught a big fish, and at that moment, she felt her blood boiling.
Judging from the fish's strength and swimming style, she could roughly guess that it was a grouper of considerable size.
Just as the fish in the sea were rushing forward recklessly, Chen Zhiyao suddenly heard her father's excited voice:
"Haha, it's a big yellow croaker, a big yellow croaker."
Upon hearing the name "big yellow croaker," Chen Zhiyao immediately turned her head and saw a pale yellow fish being pulled out of the water.
Chen Zhiyao felt that the color of this fish was lighter than that of the large yellow croaker, and something seemed off.
At this moment, Grandpa Chen's exasperated voice rang out:
"What kind of look is that? This is a yellow croaker, not a large yellow croaker."
Upon hearing the name "yellow croaker," Chen Weiqiang, who had been laughing heartily, immediately froze.
The fish was completely pulled out of the water, and Chen Weiqiang could see clearly that it was indeed not a large yellow croaker. He smiled awkwardly.
"The sun was too bright just now, and the water splashed too much, so I misjudged it."
The yellow croaker is very similar to the large yellow croaker in both size and color, except that its color is lighter.
He was facing the sunlight, so it's normal for him to misread it for a moment due to visual illusion.
"hehe."
Grandpa Chen turned his head away in disgust, indicating that he didn't want to see his shameful and troublesome son.
After watching the commotion for a while, Chen Zhiyao finally felt that the tension on the fishing rod had decreased, and the speed at which the reel was spinning had also begun to slow down.
After waiting patiently for a while, seeing that the fish below could no longer swim, she suddenly began to exert herself.
Having fished every day during this period, Chen Zhiyao's arm muscles have become increasingly powerful.
She cranked the reel handle so fast it was almost blurry, as the fishing line pulled the big fish from the sea back in quickly.
And so, the exhausted fish was slowly pulled out of the water by Chen Zhiyao.
It's a wavy grouper weighing over ten kilograms, which is much more expensive than a regular grouper.
Although it's not a large yellow croaker, the price isn't much different; it should still sell for over 1000 yuan.
Grandpa Chen was getting a little anxious when he saw that his two younger relatives had caught fish while he hadn't caught any himself.
"Why aren't any fish biting? Could the bait have been eaten by small fish?"
Grandpa Chen, who was very concerned about his image, kept grumbling to himself. After waiting for a while and still not seeing any fish bite, he simply pulled the bait out of the water.
The bait had only been halfway pulled up, not even out of the water, when suddenly, the fishing rod felt a moderate pull.
The fishing hook, which was about to be pulled out of the water, was suddenly pulled back and went further and further away.
Grandpa Chen, who had been sitting there for half an hour, was so excited when he finally saw a fish bite the hook that his face turned red and his heart started racing.
Last night, the old man drank the honey water with added ingredients that Chen Zhiyao gave him, and his body suddenly felt 5 years younger.
Playing with the fish at this time of year feels much easier than usual.
The fish wasn't very strong; the old man figured it was about four or five pounds. He wasn't worried about the rod breaking or the line snapping, and he reeled in the line very roughly.
Grandpa Chen happily went against the fish's wishes, reeling in the line with all his might, regardless of whether the fish in the sea wanted to or not.
While Chen Zhiyao was still searching for the second lucky fish, the old man had completely exhausted the big fish in the sea.
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Chen pulled a bright yellow fish, its entire body radiating a golden glow, out of the water.
"See this? This is what a large yellow croaker looks like."
Grandpa Chen pulled the big yellow croaker onto the boat, and before he even had time to remove the fishing hook, he proudly showed it off to his son.
Large yellow croaker
Chen Weiqiang and Chen Zhiyao looked at the golden yellow croaker with identical expressions of envy.
Everyone's a lemon (sour grapes).
The big yellow croaker that the old man caught weighed over 4 to 5 kilograms, so it must be worth several thousand yuan.
Looking at this large yellow croaker that exuded an air of great value, Chen Zhiyao immediately felt that the wavy grouper from before was not as appealing.
Chen Zhiyao was still looking enviously at the large yellow croaker in Grandpa Chen's hand when suddenly she felt a slight vibration in her hand.
A fish has taken the bait, so I lift the rod to set the hook, and the pull quickly becomes stronger.
The fish was pierced by the fishing hook in its mouth. The excruciating pain made it lose its mind, and it frantically thrashed about below.
However, this force was much weaker than the more than ten kilograms of wavy grouper from before.
Chen Zhiyao felt that this fish weighed about five or six pounds and was a bit fatter than the big yellow croaker from before.
She compared it to the large yellow croaker the old man was holding, and her initial excitement vanished instantly.
She thought it was a big yellow croaker, but she was disappointed.
Seeing that it wasn't a large yellow croaker and wasn't particularly big, Chen Zhiyao started playing with the fish rather perfunctorily.
