Chen Zhiyao gripped the fishing rod tightly, her body leaning back sharply, as if she were pouring all her strength into the rod in her hand.
However, the strength of this big guy in the water was beyond imagination. It dragged the fishing line and charged left and right like a wild horse.
The originally straight fishing rod was forcibly bent into an extremely exaggerated arc, as if it would break at any moment.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is definitely a big one.
Upon seeing this, Chen Weiqiang's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by envy.
Suddenly, the fish in the water lunged towards the depths of the seabed, and the reel spun wildly, almost sparking.
"This fish is quite strong," Chen Zhiyao said, loosening the fishing line slightly.
Just as she was guessing that it might be a grouper, the underwater pull suddenly increased again.
Chen Zhiyao felt an irresistible force coming from her hands, and she even felt that she was about to lose her grip on the fishing rod.
In a moment of crisis, she quickly turned on her X-ray glasses for beachcombing, and her strength suddenly surged.
Under Chen Zhiyao's persistent and increasingly powerful pull, the once aggressive giant gradually began to lose its strength.
As she sensed the fish's struggling movements becoming increasingly sluggish and weak, Chen Zhiyao became even more excited and worked harder.
Finally, after a hard-fought battle, Chen Zhiyao successfully pulled the big guy out of the water.
She stared intently at the water in front of her; it turned out to be a half-meter-long suspension bridge grouper.
Chen Zhiyao's face was full of joy, and her big eyes curved into crescent shapes:
"Goodness, this suspension bridge grouper must weigh at least 20 pounds!"
After removing the fishhook, Chen Zhiyao grinned and hugged the exhausted grouper tightly to her chest.
Then, as if the wind was blowing under his feet, he ran towards the weighing place at an extremely fast speed.
"19.6 jin, what a pity, it was just a little short of 20 jin."
Chen Zhiyao's tone was full of regret, but also revealed a hint of smugness.
At this point, almost everyone else on the boat was catching sea bass weighing three or four pounds.
Upon hearing that Chen Zhiyao was in Versailles, Chen Weiqiang and his two companions felt as if they had drunk a full glass of aged vinegar, their whole bodies tingling with sourness.
Chen Zhiyao held the heavy grouper in her arms, a victorious smile on her face.
Noticing the envious and jealous looks from those around her, it didn't affect her good mood at all; on the contrary, it made her even more smug.
Sunlight spilled across the shimmering sea, and she returned to the spacious deck with a smile and light steps, her heart filled with joy.
Chen Zhiyao skillfully reattached the bait, then forcefully cast the hook into the distant sea.
There were several large, dark shapes underwater, but also some smaller creatures weighing a pound or two.
She stared intently at the float, her eyes gleaming with excitement, silently praying that another big fish would take the bait.
The bait companion is very effective; as soon as the bait is put into the water, it immediately attracts fish from the surrounding area.
In less than two minutes, the buoy that had been floating quietly on the water suddenly sank sharply.
The violent tug on her hand made Chen Zhiyao's heart race, as she had been intently watching the float.
"It must be another big fish that has taken the bait!"
Chen Zhiyao was secretly delighted. She gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, her arm muscles tensing instantly as she quickly adjusted her grip to reduce the force.
However, after walking around for a while, the smile on her face faded a bit.
Compared to the incredibly strong suspension bridge grouper I caught, the pulling force I felt this time was significantly less.
Nevertheless, Chen Zhiyao dared not relax in the slightest, carefully controlling her strength, for fear that she might accidentally let the fish escape.
The fish wasn't very strong, and after playing it for two or three minutes, Chen Zhiyao started to quickly reel it in.
As the fishing line was continuously reeled in, a small figure gradually emerged from the water.
When the little fish completely left the water, Chen Zhiyao finally saw its true form amidst the splashing water.
It turned out to be a chubby pepper snapper.
This one is a bit bigger than the pepper snapper we usually encounter, weighing over four pounds.
Chen Zhiyao was slightly taken aback, then excitedly exclaimed:
"Haha, look at this! Isn't my pepper snapper big?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Weiqiang's dismissive voice rang out from not far away:
"Wow, amazing! Amazing!"
At this moment, Yan Shuting suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Comrades, look at the red-spotted fish I caught! It weighs over three pounds!"
Chen Zhiyao's smug smile instantly turned into envy.
She thought of the red-spotted fish and rat-spotted fish she had caught when she was pumping water out of the pit. It seemed that there should be quite a few of these valuable groupers around here.
Just a few dozen seconds after the bait was re-entered into the water, ripples appeared on the calm surface, clearly indicating that fish were eagerly taking the bait.
Chen Zhiyao sensed a slight movement from underwater and deftly lifted her rod to hook the fish.
Judging from experience, this fish is not very big, probably only about two or three pounds.
Chen Zhiyao immediately became excited, "With this size, could it be a red-spotted fish or a grouper?"
The fish wasn't very strong, so she gripped the fishing rod tightly without hesitation and started reeling in the line forcefully.
In less than two minutes, a black sea bream weighing more than two pounds, with a shiny black body, broke out of the water.
With a slight effort, Chen Zhiyao sent the creature flying through the air in a graceful arc before it landed on the deck with a "thud".
Although it's not an expensive grouper, this black sea bream isn't cheap either.
Chen Zhiyao smiled and lifted the fish, skillfully removing the hook from the black sea bream's mouth.
With a large, lively shrimp hooked on the line, I swung my arm and cast the line again with force, sending the bait plummeting into the water like a shooting star.
The instant the bait hit the water, Chen Zhiyao suddenly felt a slight movement from the fishing rod in her hand.
A force, noticeably weaker than before, came from the fishing rod.
Based on the feel and the strength of the pull, she secretly guessed that this time the fish that had taken the bait was probably a rockfish.
At this moment, the fish in the water seemed to become unusually agitated because of the fishing hook in its mouth. It completely ignored the pain and swam forward at high speed with all its might.
Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough. Chen Zhiyao easily pulled it out of the water in just two minutes.
In an instant, water splashed everywhere, and a pink fish broke out of the water.
Immediately afterwards, a red sea bream weighing about one pound was revealed to everyone.
This red sea bream was clearly unwilling to become someone else's meal. It twisted its body wildly in mid-air and thrashed its tail desperately.
The glistening water droplets splashed out like raindrops, with many even splashing directly onto Chen Zhiyao's face.
Even with such valiant efforts, the red sea bream's resistance was futile.
Chen Zhiyao's movements were perfectly coordinated; with a gentle effort, she sent the lively red sea bream flying onto the deck.
