Judging from the fish finder on the boat, there are large fish nearby.
For bait, everyone chose a whole octopus, and the hooks were also changed to larger ones.
After hooking a complete octopus onto the fishing hook, Chen Zhiyao, in a good mood, used her mind to activate her fishing X-ray vision glasses.
There were several dark figures directly in front of her, the largest weighing about 20 pounds and the smallest about 7 or 8 pounds.
With a flick of the fishing rod, the poor octopus was precisely flung by Chen Zhiyao right in front of the largest dark shape.
The big fish in the water was very proactive; it swam over on its own, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the trembling octopus whole.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand suddenly sank, and a powerful pulling force came towards her.
This fish is very strong; I can tell just by feeling it. It's no smaller than the grouper I caught this morning.
With the fish already hooked, Chen Zhiyao naturally wouldn't let them escape, so she immediately stood up, raised the rod, and set the hook.
When she sensed the fish in the water becoming agitated and thrashing about, she knew she was safe; the hook was firmly caught.
After adjusting the drag on the fishing rod, Chen Zhiyao began playing the fish in the afternoon.
The big creatures in the sea would suddenly swim forward, only to be painfully pulled by the fishhook, before suddenly turning around and swimming back.
The fishing line would sometimes be taut and creak as it was pulled, and other times it would float lightly to the surface of the sea.
Chen Zhiyao is very good at seizing opportunities. Every time the fish swims back, she takes the opportunity to frantically reel in the fishing line, and the fishing reel is almost sparking from her spinning.
When the fish is swimming forward with all its might, let it dart around and expend its energy.
The fishing line tightens and loosens repeatedly, pulling back and forth, constantly draining the fish's energy.
The prolonged pulling caused even more stinging pain where the hook was caught, and the large fish in the sea became increasingly agitated.
Suddenly, the fish in the sea lunged forward, and the fishing rod in my hand was pulled violently.
Chen Zhiyao staggered as she was pulled, but she gripped the fishing rod even tighter.
The intense pulling sensation ignited Chen Zhiyao's entire being, making her appear extremely excited and intoxicated.
The fish was extremely ferocious, charging around recklessly for over ten minutes before slowing down slightly.
Chen Weiqiang caught several rock bream weighing over a pound each, and then he became very envious of the big fish in his daughter's hand.
Seeing her swing her arm, he immediately came forward eagerly, wanting to help her walk the fish.
However, her daughter rejected him without hesitation.
Having finally caught a big fish, Chen Zhiyao was so eager to fight the creature in the water that she couldn't bear to let go of the fishing rod.
A true angler should always have his rod and the angler at the same time.
Chen Zhiyao fought wits and courage with the fish for nearly 20 minutes before the tension on the fishing rod finally eased.
The big guy in the water was still struggling, but his little bit of strength was clearly not enough.
Within minutes, she pulled a long, slender, silvery-white fish out of the water.
Chen Weiqiang, who was standing nearby, happily stretched out the net in his hand and caught the large croaker right in the head.
Chen Weiqiang laughed even harder than his daughter, and shamelessly thought to himself:
He caught the fish; in other words, he caught it.
Chen Zhiyao had no idea what her dramatic father was thinking; her attention was entirely focused on the big fish.
This is a white croaker. Although the fish meat isn't very valuable, the fish maw inside is a real delicacy.
Croaker
As soon as Chen Weiqiang scooped the big fish up, Chen Zhiyao immediately beamed and took it to be weighed.
"Hehe, 28.8 jin, that's quite a size. Grandpa, how much does croaker cost per jin these days?"
Holding the freshly caught croaker, she proudly showed it off to the people on the boat.
However, no one responded to her. When she looked up, she saw that her fishing spot had been taken over by these four unscrupulous elders.
"You guys...you've gone too far..."
Chen Zhiyao pouted and went to the fishing spot next to her, grumbling.
Soon, the X-ray glasses were turned on again, and the baited bait landed precisely next to a round, dark shape.
Just as the large fish in the water was about to come over to feed, Chen Zhiyao heard her father's laughter coming from not far away:
"Haha, this fishing rod is about to be deformed. There must be a big one down there, maybe even bigger than the croaker that Tangtang caught earlier."
Chen Weiqiang stared intently at the water, his tone full of smugness.
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Chen, who had only caught small fish, glared at him in a bad mood.
"Enough with the nonsense, focus on playing the fish."
Seeing that her grandmother and mother-in-law were not saying anything, Chen Zhiyao turned her head and looked at them. The two women were focused on walking the fish.
Judging from their identical serious expressions, it must be something big.
Just then, she suddenly felt a strong pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
Chen Zhiyao's lips curled slightly, and her round, almond-shaped eyes became even more bright and piercing.
"You're quite strong!"
This fish is quite strong, although not as strong as the croaker from before, it probably weighs around 10 pounds.
Judging from its shape and strength, it looks somewhat like a grouper.
The two, one human and one fish, pulled back and forth for about ten minutes. In the end, Chen Zhiyao was stronger and managed to pull the fish out of the water.
Soon, she pulled a gray-black grouper covered in spots onto the deck.
Sesame spots
It's a sesame grouper. The fish has tender and delicious flesh, and the taste is quite good.
The price of sesame grouper is in the middle range among groupers, similar to that of green grouper.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, prices are sure to rise significantly.
Chen Zhiyao happily carried it over to be weighed, and it weighed a full 16 jin and 6 liang.
Just then, Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang both exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Weiqiang held a large, silvery-white fish in his hand, his face beaming with pride.
"Haha, another big croaker, this guy must weigh at least 20 pounds."
Meanwhile, Grandpa Chen, standing to the side, slumped to the ground in a sorry state, cursing and hitting his thigh.
"My fish, it's a big one that weighs at least 30 pounds."
It looks like either the line has been cut or the hook has come off.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Weiqiang's gloating voice rang out:
"Oh ho!"
It's just that Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting don't fish often and don't know the habits of these fishermen, otherwise there would have been two more "Oh dear"s.
Fearing that the old man might get sick from anger, Yan Shuting quickly tugged at Chen Weiqiang's sleeve, urging him to calm down.
Seeing that there were two large fish below where she was, Chen Zhiyao quickly called over the furious old man.
"Grandpa, the fishing is going well here, come over quickly."
Grandpa Chen reeled in the fishing line, and saw that the hook was still there, but the big fish was gone.
The fish had already escaped, so whether it got off the hook or the line broke made no difference to him.
The old man, with a gloomy face and a blank expression, threw the bait into the water.
Unexpectedly, by sheer luck, the bait landed right in the mouth of one of the big fish.
"Whoosh~"
The bait had been in the water for less than a minute when a fish took the bait, and it was a big one at that.
The old man's dejected expression vanished, and he began to play with the fish with renewed vigor.
I'm preparing to adjust the posting time. I'll save up some more posts tomorrow, and then we can start posting at a unified time the day after tomorrow.
I chose two posting times, midnight and 6 a.m. Which time do you think is better?
