Chen Zhiyao had already mixed the shrimp she used for fishing with bait additives.
As the group fished, they gradually attracted various marine creatures from the vicinity.
Chen Zhiyao cast her bait into the water, and within a minute, a fish was biting the hook.
This time the fish wasn't very strong, and the reel at the top of the fishing rod spun very slowly, stopping after only two spins.
"Strange, I clearly cast the bait next to a big fish just now, so why is this fish so weak?"
Chen Zhiyao looked down into the water with a puzzled expression, only to find that the dark shape she had been eyeing was perfectly fine.
The small black blob representing the shrimp was eaten by a long, thin black shadow.
The creature caught on the hook looked thin and long, and Chen Zhiyao guessed it was either a moray eel or a sea snake.
Seeing that the creature in the sea wasn't very strong, she didn't bother to train it and casually turned the handle of the fishing reel to start reeling in the line.
In less than two minutes, a small eel weighing about two or three pounds was pulled out of the water.
Suddenly pulled out of the water, the little guy was terrified, and the sudden sense of crisis made it struggle frantically.
A small eel weighing two or three pounds is not very strong to begin with, so no matter how much it struggles, it is all in vain.
Chen Zhiyao pulled him ashore in no time, and then he was firmly held by the back of his neck.
Conger eels can bite, and they also injure other fish, so they were placed in a separate bucket.
"This eel is only so-so in size, but it's still worth over 100 yuan, not bad at all."
Chen Zhiyao was feeling quite pleased with herself when she unexpectedly saw her mother catch a grouper weighing about two pounds.
Seeing the spotted mouse in her mother's hand, she was incredibly envious.
This grouper is probably worth several hundred dollars; the sea eel she just caught suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.
Soon, a lively, wriggling shrimp was hooked onto the sharp hook.
Immediately afterwards, she cast the bait toward the large, dark shape she had just seen.
Chen Zhiyao had good strength and accuracy; the bait landed precisely on the edge of the dark figure.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
Before this big guy could even make a move, it was intercepted by a slender black shadow.
However, the pulling force transmitted through the fishing rod this time was significantly increased.
Based on the force and the shape of the shadowy figure, Chen Zhiyao guessed that it was probably a large eel weighing seven or eight pounds.
Although moray eels don't dash around wildly like other sea fish, they are always looking for an opportunity to escape.
When the fishing line was pulled back, she felt quite a bit of resistance.
After being pulled back and forth for several minutes, a large eel weighing about seven or eight pounds was slowly pulled out of the water.
For some reason, Chen Zhiyao seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, and several large and small eels appeared one after another.
She caught almost every type of sea eel commonly found on the coast, including yellow eels with blue and white porcelain patterns, red eels with dark red bodies, and sesame eels with black spots.
In less than 20 minutes, she had caught half a bucket of eels, which she estimated to weigh more than 20 kilograms.
Although it's all small change, this bucket of eels looks quite intimidating.
Every time Chen Zhiyao caught a sea eel, she didn't dare to look at it for long.
Yan Shuting, who was closest to her, was like she had a cheat code, her fishing rod almost never stopped.
Large blue crab, small blue lobster, octopus, turbot, rock mackerel, Spanish mackerel, yellowfin tuna, white pomfret, golden pomfret...
There's no seafood that can be found on the beach that she can't catch.
The mother and daughter, one specializes in fishing for large eels, while the other accepts all kinds of seafood.
For a moment, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang, who seemed to be focused on walking the fish, were so envious that their eyes almost turned red.
Just as Chen Zhiyao caught another four or five-pound sesame eel, Chen Weiqiang finally pulled the big guy, which he had been playing for a long time, out of the water.
Upon seeing that it was a large blue-spotted cat weighing nearly 20 pounds, Chen Weiqiang immediately became smug and proudly shouted:
"Hehe, it seems I won this competition."
"Stop showing off here and hurry up and pull this fish up first."
Yan Shuting rolled her eyes at him, quickly grabbed the large fishing net that was placed to the side, and rushed over to help scoop the fish.
Chen Weiqiang was feeling quite pleased with himself and didn't take those words to heart at all.
"You can rest assured, the fish is already caught, how could I let it get away?"
As he spoke, he immediately began to spin the reel wildly with his right hand, quickly pulling the large blue-spotted fish from the water into the air.
Chen Weiqiang grinned, happily trying to fly the big guy ashore.
However, at that moment, the fish in mid-air suddenly began to writhe wildly, struggling desperately to break free from the hook.
Whether by coincidence or by sheer luck, the fish spat out the hook from its mouth.
The big fish that was about to be caught was about to fly away. Chen Weiqiang was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
Just as the fish was about to escape, Yan Shuting rushed over and caught it by covering its head before it went into the water.
"Thank goodness, the fish almost got away."
Seeing that the person next to her was still in a daze, the irritable Yan Shuting immediately kicked him:
"What are you standing there for? Come and help!"
Chen Weiqiang came to his senses and patted his chest with lingering fear: "Oh, that scared me to death, I almost ran away."
The couple worked together and soon managed to get the large blue-spotted fish out of the water.
Looking at the big guy he had lost and found again, Chen Weiqiang smiled even more foolishly than his dog, Ah Zhe, at home.
Holding the large fish, he grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Quick, quick, take two pictures of me. This fish must weigh at least 20 pounds."
While saying he would take two photos, Chen Weiqiang changed his poses several times, which annoyed Yan Shuting, who was in charge of taking pictures.
"Are you ever going to stop? Take the pictures yourself, I don't care what you do." She simply put her phone away.
She's dawdling around, which is delaying her fishing.
At this moment, the big fish that Grandpa Chen had been walking around for a long time was also caught.
This fish was very strong. The old man thought it was a grouper weighing over ten kilograms, but he never expected it to be a giant sea wolf.
Looking at the large sea wolf weighing seventeen or eighteen pounds in his hand, Grandpa Chen's smile immediately faded.
Especially when I saw the big blue spot on the son's hand, I felt like two tall lemon trees had sprouted in my heart.
Both were large fish weighing over ten kilograms, so why did he catch a worthless barracuda?
They're using the same bait, and even the same fishing rods, so why are they being treated differently?
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyao, who was holding the eel's rod, looked at her father with envy.
This one big guy is worth half a bucket of eels she caught.
Besides, fishing for eels is really boring; she really wants to catch a big fish.
Just then, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank. Immediately afterwards, she felt a light but not heavy pull.
"A fish has taken the bait!!"
The reel at the tip of the fishing rod turned slowly, and judging from the force, it was a small fish weighing at most two or three pounds.
Chen Zhiyao's originally cheerful smile faded instantly.
