Seeing that his daughter had already caught two expensive fish, Chen Weiqiang, who hadn't caught anything yet, was feeling a bit of pressure.
"Strange, why are there no fish today?"
Chen Weiqiang was completely baffled, so he pulled the bait out of the water.
Little did they know that the shrimp on the fishing hook had long since vanished, leaving only the bare, gleaming large fishing hook.
"Damn, I knew it! No wonder no fish were biting."
Chen Weiqiang quickly took a live, large shrimp from the small bucket next to him and hung it back up.
As he cast his bait back into the water, Grandpa Chen on the left pulled a nearly 10-pound bass out of the water.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Shuting on the right also caught a pearl grouper weighing 11 or 12 pounds.
Caught in the middle, Chen Weiqiang felt immense pressure.
Chen Zhiyao had been maneuvering the bait around a small dark shape, but the little guy wouldn't cooperate and refused to bite.
Seeing that her grandfather and mother had both caught big fish weighing over 10 pounds, Chen Zhiyao became a little anxious.
Seeing that the fish wasn't biting, he simply pulled the hook out of the water and cast it back towards the largest dark shape in the distance.
This big guy was very cooperative; as soon as the bait got close, it opened its big mouth and swallowed the bait whole.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
Immediately afterwards, the reel was pulled with a squeaking sound, and the fishing line quickly went out.
The pull from the fishing rod in her hand was so strong that Chen Zhiyao staggered, took a small step forward with her right foot, and almost fell into the water.
However, she felt no fear at all; instead, she felt her blood boiling and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Having just regained her balance, Chen Zhiyao, unable to contain her emotions, immediately began to boast:
"This fish is really strong, it must weigh at least 20 kilograms."
The three people next to her subconsciously looked at the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand.
The once straight fishing rod was deformed by the taut fishing line, bending into a terrible arc.
No need to guess, it must be a big one.
Chen Weiqiang was initially feeling sour, but the next second his fishing rod felt a strong pull.
After waiting for a long time, a fish finally took the bait, and it was a fierce, big one at that.
Feeling triumphant, Chen Weiqiang immediately became smug:
"Haha, I've caught a fish too, and it's a big one, definitely bigger than the one you caught, Tangtang."
"I don't believe it. How about we have a competition to see who catches the biggest fish?" Chen Zhiyao was unconvinced, convinced that her fish was definitely the biggest.
"Okay, let's have a competition. The loser will have to wash the dishes tonight."
Chen Weiqiang had lost more often than he had in previous bets, so he slyly chose a bet that didn't cost him any money.
"Fine, let's compete then. Dad, you can just wait to do the dishes tonight."
Chen Zhiyao was confident she could win and didn't care about the stakes at all.
After all, she had a level 2 lucky fishing rod. If she couldn't win even with cheating, then there's no justice in the world.
"Young man, don't speak too confidently, or you'll regret it."
"As the saying goes, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves onto the beach. You'd better wait until tonight to wash the dishes."
Just as the father and daughter were childishly exchanging harsh words, Yan Shuting had already caught her second fish.
It was a red octopus weighing over 5 pounds, its bright red color giving it a very festive look.
Yan Shuting was used to the bickering between the father and daughter, and remained unmoved, focusing all her attention on fishing, preparing to make a fortune in silence.
Chen Zhiyao's fish was not only energetic but also had great stamina. Even after 20 minutes of playing, it still looked full of energy.
Seeing that the fish below showed no signs of fatigue, Chen Zhiyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to reel in the line.
Large fish in the sea are already quite heavy, and when they are swimming around frantically, it is very difficult to reel them in.
It's so heavy. Chen Zhiyao turned the handle of the fishing reel a few times and felt some pain in her hands.
Moreover, when pulling back, the fishing line felt even tighter.
Fearing the fishing line would break, Chen Zhiyao had no choice but to let go and then increase the drag.
A moment later, Chen Weiqiang's smug voice came from not far away:
"Tangtang, this blue-spotted grouper of mine weighs at least fifteen or sixteen pounds."
This fish was not only large, but also a genuine high-end sea fish. Chen Weiqiang was starting to get cocky, feeling confident that he would win.
Chen Zhiyao sneered, "It's just a fish that weighs a little over 10 jin. Mine weighs at least 20 jin."
As a seasoned angler, Chen Weiqiang didn't believe it at all, thinking she must have exaggerated.
"You can say whatever you want about not catching the fish. I don't believe a word the fisherman says."
"Don't forget, you're a fisherman yourself."
Chen Zhiyao got angry and pulled even harder against the big creature in the sea.
Ten minutes later, sensing that the big fish in the sea was exhausted, Chen Zhiyao quickly and frantically spun the reel to start reeling in the line.
The fish in the sea have exhausted all their energy. At this point, although they are unwilling, they can only be pulled out of the water by the fishing line.
Amidst the splashing water, one can clearly see a giant sea wolf, over a meter long.
Chen Zhiyao picked up the giant wolf, which was almost as tall as herself, and weighed it in her hand with great interest.
Although it didn't weigh as much as the estimated 20-plus kilograms, it was still about 20 kilograms.
Although this fish was 10 times cheaper than the blue-spotted grouper that her father caught, they were comparing sizes, and Chen Zhiyao won in the end.
Chen Weiqiang looked defiant, regretting that he should have compared the price of the fish.
Chen Zhiyao, who won the competition, wasn't actually very happy. The fish looked big, but it was only worth two hundred yuan.
"As expected, you can't just look at the size; the quality of the fish is the most important thing."
Chen Zhiyao muttered to herself as the bait in her hand landed steadily in front of the nearest small dark figure.
In less than two minutes, I felt a slight vibration in the rod in my hand.
The fish didn't look big, and it was even weaker. Chen Zhiyao didn't even need to play with it; she just flew it ashore in no time.
This is a black sea bream weighing a little over a pound.
The price of black sea bream has risen quite a bit recently, and Chen Zhiyao happily put it into the bucket.
The four of them were so focused on the sea and their fishing rods that they didn't notice the dark clouds gathering overhead.
