Yan Rui originally planned to fish on the island in the morning and have everyone return to the boat in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, we encountered a school of red-spotted fish this morning, and now no one wants to leave.
Apart from the first day, no one caught anything good for the next two days. It was rare to encounter a red-spotted fish, and these anglers wished they could stay on the island.
Since no one wanted to leave, Boss Yan had to change the itinerary and fish here in the afternoon.
At least he could save on gas costs, so Boss Yan was quite happy.
More than 20 people and over 40 eyes were all fixed on the sea.
Having finally found a good catch, these people were so eager to stay there that they didn't even want to go back to the boat for a meal.
Yan Rui had no choice but to have someone deliver the boxed lunches.
Chen Zhiyao ate slowly, and just as she finished eating, she saw that her father had caught a yellow-legged hogfish weighing more than two pounds.
Normally, she would definitely praise him immediately for catching such a big yellowfin tuna.
However, she caught a few red-spotted fish in the morning, and now she's completely arrogant and looks down on these little guys that cost tens of yuan per kilogram.
Chen Zhiyao likes to fish for big fish, so she specially chose the largest octopus to hook.
Immediately afterwards, he turned on his cheating device.
The fishing is usually not very good in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that a lot of big fish would come down from the cliff now.
Instead of choosing the largest black shadow, Chen Zhiyao picked the fish closest to her.
However, this guy is not small either; judging by his size, he must weigh at least twenty or thirty pounds.
Chen Zhiyao moved quickly, and in no time, the bait landed precisely next to the dark figure.
The poor octopus, trembling with fear at the sight of the enormous creature before it, instinctively moved in the opposite direction out of its strong will to survive.
Meanwhile, the huge black mark beside it moved silently, its movements extremely slow, as if every action had been carefully considered.
The little octopus, which had just moved a tiny bit, saw the big guy coming towards it and quickly ran forward in fright.
Once it was certain that the little octopus posed no threat, the fish suddenly opened its gaping maw.
Immediately afterwards, the poor octopus was swallowed whole by this big guy.
Soon, a tremendous force came from the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand, and the fishing line was instantly pulled taut and straight, as if it were about to break.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
The reel emitted a sharp, piercing sound, while the fishing line was pulled wildly outwards, and the fishing rod bent into an exaggerated arc.
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed; the big fish she had been longing for had finally arrived.
This fish was very strong and extremely fierce. It didn't care that it was being pulled by the hook and kept charging around.
Feeling the immense pull from her hands, she was so excited that her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
Although unable to break free from the hook, the fish in the water did not give up.
Driven by its instinct for survival, it resisted desperately. Sometimes it swam forward, sometimes it swam to the left, struggling to find a way to survive.
"He's got quite a temper; this guy doesn't seem like someone to mess with."
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao quickly increased the force she could apply and then changed to a posture that allowed her to exert more force.
At this moment, she was completely focused on feeling the tension of the fishing line, constantly adjusting her strength and rhythm, and engaging in a fierce tug-of-war with the big fish.
As time ticked by, beads of sweat rolled down Chen Zhiyao's forehead, and the muscles in her arms trembled slightly from the exertion.
However, her gaze remained unwavering, and she grew increasingly excited and agitated.
The fish in the water never gave up, constantly darting left and right in the water, trying to break free from the fishhook.
In the water, it nimbly swung its tail, splashing water everywhere, and each struggle made the fishing line buzz.
The two, one human and one fish, pulled back and forth like in a tug-of-war.
After nearly half an hour and 800 battles, Chen Zhiyao finally exhausted the big guys below.
Seeing that the big guy had slowed down, she took the opportunity to quickly start reeling in the line.
Her small body unleashed a powerful force, and after seven or eight minutes, she finally pulled a nearly 30-pound grouper out of the water.
The thought that this fish could sell for several thousand yuan immediately made Chen Zhiyao feel less tired, and she even felt that she could fight for another 300 rounds.
Soon, she pulled this very beautiful grouper from the water onto the shore.
Chen Zhiyao happily put the grouper in her hand into the bucket, wondering how much money she could sell it for.
Just as she was about to show off to her family, she suddenly noticed that her parents had a lot of sea bass in their bucket.
Moreover, almost everyone around had caught sea bass.
She looked at Yan Shuting with a puzzled expression: "Why are so many people catching sea bass today? Are there schools of fish nearby?"
Just then, Yan Shuting caught a four- or five-pound sea bass from the sea and replied cheerfully:
"I guess I ran into a school of fish. I caught three in a row, but they were all of average size, mostly around four or five pounds."
Chen Zhiyao's eyes lit up. She had just caught a grouper weighing about 30 pounds, and her arms were sore.
I caught a few small bass and took a break.
Not long after the bait was in the water, her fishing rod made another sound.
The pulling force is neither too heavy nor too light; it's probably just a small fish weighing a few pounds.
Chen Zhiyao was too lazy to play with the fish anymore. A few minutes later, a particularly fat sea bass leaped out of the water.
Seeing that she had caught another fish, the surrounding anglers all cast envious glances at her.
In the corner, the two middle-aged men from the Air Force were still there, looking incredibly envious.
He was screaming in his heart: There are so many fish in the sea, why can't he catch one?!
Chen Zhiyao happily placed the sea bass into the bucket, beaming as she boasted:
"I'm still pretty good. This fish is really fat. It's perfect for steaming tonight."
The fishing was good in the afternoon; there were still quite a few bass waiting for her down below.
Chen Zhiyao persevered and quickly cast the bait back into the water.
However, when she was about to catch the fish, she felt an unusual pulling force.
This guy is very strong, no less so than the grouper from the suspension bridge, but he doesn't move much.
She only puts up a fight when she reels in the line.
After a brief struggle, Chen Zhiyao's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.
"It has a bad temper and doesn't run away, could this guy be a sunfish?"
Two minutes later, he couldn't help but mutter again:
"It looks a bit like a giant octopus. Whether it's a sunfish or a giant octopus, as long as it's a fish that can be sold, it's fine. Please, it can't be a sea turtle."
The thought of the giant sea turtle that might be stepping on a sewing machine below made Chen Zhiyao's heart pound.
"Please don't be a sea turtle, please don't be a sea turtle, please don't be a sea turtle."
Chen Zhiyao nervously hung up the phone while muttering to herself.
