Coral reef
Chen Zhiyao calmly turned on her X-ray glasses and saw many small dark figures hiding under the coral reef. Although they were not large, their numbers were quite considerable.
Fish that live on coral reefs are usually not very big; there are definitely no fish weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms.
After all, if they are too big, they won't be able to hide inside the coral.
Seeing that the fish below were not very big, Chen Zhiyao switched to a smaller hook and skillfully baited it with a small piece of shrimp.
As can be seen from the fish finder, the water here is more than 20 meters deep, so it is not very easy to control where the bait lands.
However, the shadows below were quite dense, so Chen Zhiyao simply turned off her X-ray glasses and casually cast her bait.
About two minutes later, she felt a moderate pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
Chen Zhiyao stood up excitedly, showing off as she walked the fish:
"Hahaha, I caught a fish! I knew I'd be the fastest to catch one." His voice was filled with undisguised pride.
"That's not necessarily true."
As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa Chen stood up with a smile, clearly indicating that he had also gotten a bite.
Chen Weiqiang, who was in the middle, started to get anxious when he saw that the two people on either side of him had caught fish, but he still stubbornly said:
"Don't make any promises before you've even caught any fish."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a slight pull on the fishing rod in his hand.
"Hahaha, I've got a fish biting my hook too."
The three of them, grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, all had fish biting their hooks one after another, and they all put in all their effort to frantically reel in the line.
Although Chen Zhiyao was the first to get a bite, the fish she caught was the biggest and the strongest.
Therefore, reeling in the line was not smooth, as the fish in the water kept darting out, and the two of them were pulling back and forth.
Grandpa Chen was only two minutes later than his granddaughter, but the fish below weren't very big, so he didn't need to play them much before starting to reel them in.
Chen Weiqiang, who caught the fish last, had the smallest fish, so he reeled in the line the fastest, and it seemed he was about to catch up.
The grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter frantically spun the reel to reel in the line, all the while watching the progress of the person next to them with serious expressions.
Chen Zhiyao was both nervous and anxious, and surprisingly, she was sweating profusely despite it being the dead of winter.
Strangely enough, all three of them caught red sea bream, and Grandpa Chen and Chen Zhiyao caught them at the same time.
Chen Weiqiang caught a fish weighing only half a pound. He didn't need to play the fish at all; he just frantically reeled it in as soon as it took the bait.
He actually caught up later and became the first person to catch a fish.
Chen Zhiyao caught a 4-pound red sea bream, while Grandpa Chen caught a red sea bream weighing over 2 pounds.
However, this time it wasn't a weight contest, and the two still lost to the small fish fry in Chen Weiqiang's hand.
Chen Weiqiang happily rebaited the fishing hook, his whole being filled with joy and pride.
"After the worst comes the best; with more air force support, things will turn around."
Chen Zhiyao refused to give up and added another match.
"Let's have another competition. From now until we go home, let's see who catches the heaviest total weight of fish."
"OK."
"OK."
Since they had nothing better to do, the father and son agreed in unison.
There were probably schools of red sea bream below, and for the rest of the time, the three of them caught mostly red sea bream.
This fish is not only beautiful, but also very expensive. The three people who caught the red sea bream in a row were all overjoyed.
Chen Zhiyao is slow at catching fish, but she catches big ones weighing two or three pounds.
Although Grandpa Chen's fish weren't big, they were caught extremely quickly, one after another, as if they were lining up right next to him.
As for Chen Weiqiang, he is the most unpredictable, sometimes catching large red sea bream weighing three or four pounds, and sometimes small fry weighing only a few ounces.
Moreover, the speed at which the fish are caught is unpredictable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Moreover, having been in the air force for so long, he now has a very good mindset; he's overjoyed as long as he can catch fish.
More than half an hour passed, and the red sea bream below gradually began to disperse. When the fishing rod was lowered again, no fish took the bait.
At this point, Chen Zhiyao had caught a total of 7 red sea bream, most of which weighed about two or three pounds.
Grandpa Chen caught more than a dozen fish, filling half a bucket.
Chen Weiqiang also had a good haul, with half big fish and half small fish, and it seemed he had finally gotten his revenge.
The three members of the family, grandfather, and grandson, are currently evenly matched, and the game is in a tense state.
Seeing that no fish were biting the hook, Chen Zhiyao quietly turned on her X-ray glasses.
Then she saw several oval-shaped fish swimming to her left, and quickly cast her bait in that direction.
Immediately afterwards, an oval-shaped, very flat black shadow took the bait.
This fish isn't very strong; judging from its pulling force and size, it weighs at most a little over a pound.
There's no need to play this little guy, so Chen Zhiyao happily started reeling in the line.
In less than two minutes, she pulled a brightly colored fish out of the water.
Upon seeing these dazzling fish, Chen Zhiyao exclaimed, "They're butterfly fish! They're so beautiful!"
Butterflyfish
Butterflyfish are brightly colored and have intricate patterns on their bodies. When they swim, they look like butterflies flying in the air, hence their name.
It is a typical coral reef fish, generally living in coral reef waters, and is considered an ornamental fish.
This was Chen Zhiyao's first time catching a coral fish, and she looked at the beautiful little fish with great affection.
"Grandpa, do you buy coral fish?"
"Of course we'll buy it, and these fish aren't cheap either, at least several tens of yuan per kilogram."
Butterflyfish are highly territorial and usually appear in pairs.
While one fish is feeding, another will patrol and protect it.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyao quickly cast the fishing hook back to its original position, preparing to catch another butterflyfish as well.
As she expected, soon after the bait sank into the water, a small oval-shaped black shadow took the bait.
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Chen Zhiyao quickly began to reel in the line. After a frantic reeling, another bright and beautiful butterflyfish was flown onto the deck.
This butterflyfish is almost identical to the one from before, both in terms of pattern and size; they look like a pair.
Chen Zhiyao removed the fishhook and sent the couple home together.
A pair of butterflyfish
She caught two butterflyfish in a row, and the father and son next to her also started catching fish.
Chen Zhiyao put the butterflyfish in her hand into the bucket, and when she turned her head, she secretly glanced at the two people's fishing rods.
The fishing line was taut, and the fishing rod was bent over from the strain; they all looked like big fish.
This time, the competition was based on the weight of the catch. Chen Zhiyao, who had only caught two small fish, suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
She turned on the X-ray glasses again, and this time she finally saw a slightly larger dark shadow directly in front of her.
Chen Zhiyao quickly changed to a larger hook and then forcefully cast the bait forward.
Watching the dark shadow in the water slowly approach the shrimp that was still struggling desperately, Chen Zhiyao felt her heart beat faster.
After what felt like an eternity, I finally felt a strong pulling sensation from the fishing rod in my hand.
Chen Zhiyao stood up excitedly, "It's so heavy, this fish must be quite big."
