Judging from the size of the fish in front of her and the strength it displayed, it was clearly larger than any tuna Chen Zhiyao had ever caught before.
"That fish is really strong. It must weigh at least 160 pounds. I wonder what kind of tuna it is?"
Feeling this powerful force, Chen Zhiyao, who was being pulled and swayed by the giant object in the water, became even more excited.
Her big, round eyes sparkled with fierce fighting spirit, the flames of which burned wildly.
Without hesitation, she forcefully lifted the fishing rod and used all her strength to hook the fish.
When she felt that the fish underwater had been successfully pierced, Chen Zhiyao showed a hint of excitement on her face and worked even harder.
The fish was incredibly strong, so she immediately adjusted the drag on her fishing rod.
Just then, a rapid "buzzing" sound came, and the reel was spinning wildly at an astonishing speed, feeding the line.
Under immense tension, the fishing rod bent into a near-perfect circle, as if it might break at any moment.
The intense pull traveled through Chen Zhiyao's entire body via the fishing rod, causing her adrenaline to surge rapidly, and she quickly became excited.
I wonder how much such a big tuna could sell for? If it's a bluefin tuna, then I'll be rich!!
The more Chen Zhiyao thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't suppress the already upturned corners of her mouth.
Before ten minutes had even passed, large beads of sweat were rolling down her cheeks, but her eyes grew increasingly intense.
She was determined to get her hands on this enormous creature hidden deep underwater.
But she couldn't catch any fish, so she jumped in to retrieve them.
Chen Zhiyao was completely immersed in the joy of walking the fish, but unfortunately her body couldn't handle it.
Only twenty minutes had passed when she could clearly feel her arms starting to ache and even begin to tremble slightly.
Even so, she gritted her teeth, gripped the fishing rod tightly, and silently encouraged herself.
Just then, Uncle Li, who had been eagerly waiting to reel in the fish, rushed forward and quickly took the fishing rod from Chen Zhiyao's hand.
"Tangtang, are you tired? Let me help you play the fish."
His movements were extremely fast; before Chen Zhiyao could even speak, her hand was empty.
Meanwhile, Uncle Li's face, etched with the marks of time, was flushed red with excitement, like a ripe apple.
His large hands gripped the fishing rod tightly like iron clamps, as if afraid that the precious rod would suddenly slip from his grasp.
Uncle Li could no longer contain his excitement and eagerness. He took a deep breath and then impatiently started manipulating the fishing rod again.
His jubilant expression made him even happier than Chen Zhiyao, the person in question.
Judging from his animated expression and gesticulating manner, it was as if he had caught the giant fish himself.
Uncle Li wouldn't let go of the fishing rod once he got it, and he kept saying things like:
"Girl, when you encounter a fish this big, the most important thing is patience and endurance. Don't rush it, play it for a while until it's exhausted before you start reeling it in."
Chen Zhiyao nodded obediently, but her big, bright eyes never left the seemingly calm sea.
The two worked in perfect harmony, taking turns reeling in the fish. Before they knew it, they had been busy for a full three hours.
Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their arms ached slightly from exerting themselves for so long, but their eyes remained fixed on the water, not daring to relax for a moment.
By this time, several people on the boat had caught tuna, mostly yellowfin tuna.
The smaller ones weigh 70-80 jin (35-40 kg), while the larger ones weigh over 100 jin (50 catties).
The largest one was the one Chen Weiqiang just caught, weighing a full 131 jin (65 kg). The second largest one was the one Grandpa Chen caught, weighing exactly 100 jin (50 kg).
Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting also caught a yellowfin tuna, but they were smaller, both weighing over 80 pounds.
As the fishing line was continuously reeled in, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared on the calm water.
Seeing that the big guy was about to be caught, Uncle Li excitedly handed the fishing rod he was holding back to Chen Zhiyao beside him.
She took the fishing rod and began frantically reeling in the line.
As the fishing line was continuously reeled in, the large dark shadow in the sea drew closer and closer to the fishing boat.
5 meters, 4 meters, 3 meters, 2 meters...
With each meter they got closer, everyone's hearts pounded with excitement.
Although it was still impossible to see the fish in its entirety at this point, the faint shadows visible underwater indicated that it was an enormous creature beyond imagination.
However, just as people were filled with joy, the fishing line suddenly tightened, and a powerful force came from the bottom of the water.
At the critical moment of life and death, the big fish unleashed an amazing will to survive, struggling desperately to break free from the hook.
With a loud "splash," the fish in the water suddenly leaped out and soared high above the surface.
Upon closer inspection, everyone gasped in astonishment; it was an enormous yellowfin tuna.
It looks twice as big as the giant brown-banded grouper we caught on the first day!
It would be a pipe dream to pull such a huge fish onto the boat by manpower alone.
"Quickly! Start the crane right away!"
Chen Zhiyao made a quick decision and immediately ordered the crew on the ship to get to work.
The staff nearby quickly pushed the crane over, and with great effort, they finally managed to get the yellowfin tuna onto the deck.
When everyone witnessed such a huge tuna appear before their eyes, all the fishing enthusiasts present instantly erupted in excitement!
These people stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief and excitement.
Some people were so excited that they danced around and cheered; others quickly took out their phones to record this amazing scene.
Some people couldn't resist rushing forward to get a closer look at this rare and enormous creature.
The whole scene was lively and filled with laughter and exclamations.
This fish is taller than a person; one person can't possibly lift it up.
Finally, it was Uncle Li and another very tall and strong man who carried it to be weighed.
It weighed a full 178 jin (approximately 84.5 catties), breaking Chen Zhiyao's latest fishing record and also setting a new record for this fishing boat.
After weighing the fish, the staff member took a large knife and deftly made a cut at the head and tail of the fish.
In an instant, large gushes of fish blood gushed out.
The scene was somewhat bloody. Chen Zhiyao glanced at it and quickly ran back to her fishing spot to continue fishing.
Tuna swim constantly throughout their lives, and by this time the main group has already swum away.
However, the various baits and frozen baits used to bait the area on the boat managed to keep a small number of greedy tuna alive.
Seeing two huge dark shadows directly in front of her, Chen Zhiyao quickly hung two more large squids on top of them.
As soon as the bait hit the water, two big fish smelled the bait additive and quickly swam over.
