The fishing rod was soon in Chen Weiqiang's hands.
Having rested well, he found walking the exhausted tuna in the sea relatively easy.
Seeing that the big guy was no longer able to resist, I ran him around for a while and then started to reel him in.
With help, the father and daughter found it quite easy to deal with the tuna below.
The two men took turns reeling in the line, and it took them another ten minutes or so to finally pull the big guy to the side of the fishing boat.
At this moment, a huge black shadow appeared in front of the father and daughter, which looked even bigger than the 120-pound yellowfin tuna Chen Weiqiang had caught that morning.
This fish is too heavy; it would be very difficult to pull it up by hand.
Yang Zhiyao quickly brought over the crane, and with its help, the two of them soon pulled the enormous object onto the deck.
The tuna refused to accept its fate once it was on the deck, jumping around frantically, but Chen Weiqiang quickly managed to hold it down.
"Tangtang, hurry up, take a picture of us together. This is a bluefin tuna weighing over 100 pounds!"
His excited expression made it seem as if he had caught the fish himself; his mouth was practically stretched to the back of his ears.
Although his daughter caught the fish, he still helped her play it and reel in the line.
And since it's family, rounding it up, it's as if he caught the fish.
Chen Zhiyao skillfully took out her phone and diligently took photos of her elderly father. After taking the photos, she didn't forget to remind him:
"Dad, you can keep this photo to yourself and enjoy it, but please don't send it out, and this place must not be leaked."
"I know, I know. The fishing spots I usually post are ones that everyone knows. I definitely wouldn't tell other people about such good spots."
Chen Weiqiang looked at his daughter with a pained expression, his face saying: Why don't you believe me?
Seeing her father still putting on an act, Chen Zhiyao quickly interrupted him, and the father and daughter together carried the bluefin tuna to the weighing area.
As soon as the tuna was placed on the plate, Chen Zhiyao was immediately delighted:
"Wow, this bluefin tuna weighs a full 128 pounds."
Chen Weiqiang, standing to the side, was even happier than her, patting her shoulder with a broad smile and grinning foolishly.
"Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of my daughter, she's really amazing."
At this moment, Grandpa Chen and Yan Shuting also carried over a tuna that was taller than a person.
This fish looked even bigger than the one Chen Zhiyao had just caught, but unfortunately it was just a bigeye tuna.
"Wow, this thing must weigh at least 130 pounds."
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang quickly moved the bluefin tuna away and made room for it.
She guessed correctly; this bigeye tuna weighed a full 137.6 pounds. It was the largest fish caught on this trip.
Immediately afterwards, two giant tuna were hoisted up side by side.
With a swift stroke, Chen Weiqiang killed the two fish, leaving a faint smell of blood in the air.
Chen Zhiyao tossed the tuna innards she had just removed into the sea, then turned back and suddenly asked:
"By the way, did Grandpa catch this fish, or did you catch it, Mom?"
Yan Shuting was just about to show off, but then she remembered the old man next to her and deliberately suppressed the smile on her face.
Then he winked and looked at his daughter:
“I caught this fish, but your grandfather was also lucky; he caught a 68-pound bluefin tuna.”
Grandpa Chen's fish and Chen Weiqiang's fish were caught one after the other. When she went to get the crane, they had already been processed and put into the freezer.
After exchanging only a few words, all four of them ran into the driver's seat.
The four people, with eight eyes, stared intently at the image displayed on the viewing device.
Unlike other fish that rest on the seabed, tuna spend their entire lives swimming.
Having learned from their experience that morning, this time when they were handling the fish, they made a point of throwing some of the tuna's favorite food into the sea from time to time to create bait.
Large squid weighing over half a pound and tuna bait that Chen Weiqiang specially brought from the fishing tackle shop were thrown into the sea as if they were free.
In order to save these precious treasures, Chen Weiqiang made a special trip to the cryogenic chamber before going to help his daughter.
He brought out several buckets of dead sardines and used them all as bait.
With all sorts of delicious food, a small portion of the tuna were indeed saved.
According to the fish finder, there are currently seven or eight tuna underwater. The larger ones weigh around 100 pounds, while the smaller ones weigh around 60 or 70 pounds.
In addition to tuna, these baits also attracted various sea fish of all sizes, including several large ones.
However, everyone only saw the tuna and couldn't see anything else.
Having located the tuna, the four of them, as if chased by dogs, quickly grabbed their fishing rods and immersed themselves in the joy of tuna fishing once again.
The group fished from sunset until the stars filled the sky, and no one even thought about dinner.
Although we were starving, the harvest was quite good.
Each person not only caught another tuna, but also several groupers weighing over 20 kilograms each.
After a day's work, Chen Zhiyao felt that this place was not much different from the outer sea she had visited last time.
Although everyone knew the haul was good, they still couldn't quite believe it when they talked about their catches over dinner.
Grandpa Chen: 86-pound bigeye tuna, 68-pound bluefin tuna, 112-pound yellowfin tuna, two sea bass and several small fish.
Chen Weiqiang: 120-jin yellowfin tuna, 78-jin and 96-jin bluefin tuna, and two striped grouper.
Yan Shuting: 70-jin bigeye tuna, 137.6-jin yellowfin tuna, 88-jin bluefin tuna, three groupers, and several small fish.
Chen Zhiyao: A 118.6-pound bigeye tuna, 128-pound and 101-pound bluefin tuna, and two slate fish.
Everyone found it somewhat unbelievable that each person had three tuna.
Grandpa Chen even pinched his thigh and felt a distinct pain before he believed it was real.
Seeing this, Yan Shuting quickly pinched Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang beside her.
Seeing the father and daughter grimacing in pain, her smile grew even brighter.
Haha, it wasn't a dream! She really caught three tuna in one afternoon.
After a long day of work, everyone was so tired they could barely lift their arms. After dinner, they went to bed early.
As for tomorrow, Chen Zhiyao had already planned it out: she would go to Wanyu Island to go beachcombing in the morning and return to the mainland in the afternoon.
