Although the fish wasn't very strong, it was unusually active, completely ignoring the pain from the hook and darting around in the water.
Chen Zhiyao hadn't had any expectations for the little guy in the water.
However, after walking around for a while, she felt that the fish in the water looked somewhat like groupers.
In an instant, she thought of the grouper her mother had just caught and the red-spotted fish that had been posted in the group chat.
"Red-spotted fish and mouse-spotted fish are usually not very big, so maybe this fish is one of them."
The thought that this might be a valuable, top-quality seafood item immediately cheered Chen Zhiyao up.
She stopped trying to fight the fish and immediately started spinning the fishing reel at an astonishing speed, quickly reeling in the line.
She couldn't wait to find out what kind of fish she had caught.
The spinning reel was spinning so fast it was almost sparking.
As the fishing line gradually tightened, Chen Zhiyao felt a sense of tension and excitement, as if the mystery was about to be revealed.
At this moment, the fish in the sea are still swimming forward desperately, trying to break free from the pull of the fishing hook.
Unfortunately, its own strength was too weak, and it could only helplessly be pulled back by the fishing line.
In less than two minutes, this contest, in which the odds were heavily against each other, ended in victory for Chen Zhiyao.
With great anticipation, a red-spotted fish was finally pulled out of the water.
This fish isn't very big, but it is definitely a red-spotted fish worth several hundred yuan per kilogram.
Upon seeing it, Chen Zhiyao immediately jumped up excitedly from the small stool:
"It's a red-spotted fish. I never thought I could actually catch one."
With so many people fishing today, she had given up hope, but she actually managed to catch something.
Carefully removing the fishhook, Chen Zhiyao smiled broadly and held it in her hand, weighing it in her hand.
This fish weighs about two and a half pounds. If we're lucky, we might be able to sell it for 2,000 yuan.
This red-spotted fish gave Chen Zhiyao great confidence, and she quickly cast her fishing hook back into the water.
This time, she spotted a large, dark shape that, judging from the fish's shape, resembled a grouper.
The prawns, exuding an enticing aroma, had barely struggled a few times in the water when they were swallowed whole by hungry fish.
The originally loose fishing line was suddenly tightened and instantly became as straight as a string.
The fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand was also bent over by the taut fishing line, forming a crescent shape.
This fish is clearly more than twice as strong as the red-spotted fish from before.
It's strong, but its movements are somewhat clumsy and not very agile; it seems to be another grouper.
After reaching this conclusion, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but subtly lift the corners of her mouth.
A powerful will to survive drives the fish in the sea to struggle frantically.
She felt the tension on the fishing rod suddenly increase significantly, so she immediately readjusted the rod's drag and started playing the fish.
At this moment, the fish in the sea did not give up and frantically swam towards the deep sea, trying to break free from the fishhook in their mouths.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhiyao had already caught tuna weighing over 100 pounds, so this little guy weighing only five or six pounds was no match for her.
She didn't even need to use the power-doubling ability; she easily exhausted the fish underwater.
She seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the fish's exhaustion, and frantically turned the reel handle to start reeling in the line.
The difference in strength between the woman and the fish was vast, and within minutes she had pulled a grouper out of the water.
Seeing the enormous spotted rat weighing five or six pounds, Chen Zhiyao's eyes widened instantly, and she excitedly whispered:
"Haha, it's actually a grouper weighing over 5 pounds! This is the biggest grouper I've ever caught."
Chen Zhiyao's face was practically overflowing with joy; it was as if she was saying, "I'm rich! I'm rich!"
The three people next to her were busy playing with the fish and hadn't noticed what was happening on her side.
Hearing Chen Zhiyao excitedly shouting about rat spots, everyone else looked over.
Yan Shuting was particularly excited and specially took out one hand to give her daughter a thumbs up:
"It really is a rat-like creature. Tangtang, your luck with money is unparalleled."
"I also think I have good luck with money. How about I buy a lottery ticket later and try my luck?" Chen Zhiyao said with a smile, the more she thought about it, the better the idea seemed.
She's never bought a lottery ticket in her entire life.
Grandpa Chen and his son Chen Weiqiang were speechless; they had used the word "envy" so many times they had already said it to death.
Chen Zhiyao turned on her X-ray glasses again and was surprised to find that the fish in the sea had undergone tremendous changes.
The larger dark shadows on the seabed have almost disappeared; the only two larger fish are being walked around by my grandfather and father.
Meanwhile, in the middle and upper layers of the water, a dense swarm of tiny creatures appeared out of nowhere.
Judging from the size and shape of these dark shadows, they are probably a group of small fish weighing about one or two pounds.
With no big fish around, Chen Zhiyao had to switch to a smaller hook and a lighter sinker to fish for smaller fish in the upper layers.
The whole, live prawns have been replaced with fresh shrimp meat the size of a fingernail.
As soon as the bait hit the water, she immediately felt a slight vibration in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing rod in my hand suddenly sank, and I felt a moderate pulling force.
In just two minutes, a yellow-footed hogfish weighing over a pound burst out of the water, wagging its cute little tail happily in mid-air.
With a flick of her wrist, Chen Zhiyao easily flew it ashore.
"It's a yellowtail catfish. It's currently the fishing ban season, so the price of this fish is pretty good."
In just a few minutes, she brought up three yellowtail abalone in a row, which meant there must be a school of fish below.
Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to yourself, so Chen Zhiyao immediately shared the good news:
"Quickly, quick, there are schools of yellowfin tuna in the upper and middle waters. You guys quickly change your hooks to smaller ones. I've already caught three."
Seeing that the fishing was going so well, apart from Chen Weiqiang who was still playing the fish, the other two immediately changed their hooks without hesitation.
With the help of bait companions and a lucky fishing rod, these fish in the water were like they were starving.
As soon as the bait is put into the water, they rush over in a frenzy.
One fish after another took the bait, and the fishing rods in the hands of the group were almost never empty.
Forty minutes later, the buckets at their feet were almost entirely filled with yellow sclerotium.
The four of them kept repeating the same actions, and by the end, they were all almost numb, feeling like they were heartless fishing robots.
Chen Zhiyao deeply regretted not bringing the hand net. If she had just used the net to catch the fish, she wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
About 10 minutes later, she felt that the fish were being caught much slower.
When she opened the X-ray glasses again, she discovered that they had caught all the fish in the vicinity.
"There are no fish left, what's the point of fishing?" Chen Zhiyao was trying to figure out how to persuade her grandfather and father, who were acting like they'd been injected with adrenaline.
Grandma Chen called, urging them to come home for dinner.
Now there was no need to make excuses. The group quickly packed up their things and headed back with their full catch of fish.
