After waiting for half an hour, apart from Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen, no one on the boat managed to catch a moonfish.
The fishermen, unwilling to give up, stared wide-eyed and frantically threw the bait they had used for groundbaiting into the sea.
It was like a competition, with each person throwing more than the last.
The bait poured into the water like a torrential downpour, box after box, as if it were free.
At that moment, the once calm sea suddenly became incredibly lively.
The fish in the water were stunned by this unexpected windfall. They rushed over joyfully, vying to snatch the delicious food that had fallen from the sky.
The fish seemed oblivious to being full, gulping down the bait until their bellies swelled up like balloons, almost bursting at the seams.
The fish nearby were as if it were New Year's Day, and the sea was filled with joy and noise.
The fish in the sea were living a comfortable life, but Chen Zhiyao was not happy at all.
The fish in the water were all too full to bite, and she had even put the bait right in front of their mouths, but they still refused to bite.
"These fish are all stuffed. Do we need to use digestive pills to catch them?"
Chen Zhiyao pouted in anger, but finally decided to go fishing in a different spot.
If you put digestive tablets in the sea, they'll probably dissolve in less than two minutes, and you're still fishing like that.
She put away her fishing rod, took a small stool, and walked to a common area on the boat.
Anyone can come over here, and since no one was around at the moment, it was convenient for Chen Zhiyao.
Those who frantically baited the area have already fed the fish over there; there might still be hungry fish here.
Chen Zhiyao rebaited the fish and cast the hook into the sea.
Not long after, she felt the fishing rod suddenly sink.
"The fish is on the plate!"
Within minutes, she flew a pepper snapper weighing over three pounds onto the deck.
Chen Zhiyao was very satisfied with the fishing spot, but in the following days, she seemed to enter a strange cycle.
One by one, the people on the boat caught fish, but they were mostly small, worthless fish like mackerel, shad, or yellowtail.
Before lunch, Chen Zhiyao had already caught a large bucket of mackerel weighing about half a kilogram each.
The fishing wasn't going well, so Chen Zhiyao simply went to sleep in the afternoon.
Night quietly fell; this was the last night of this trip.
The Chen family members, who had already taken a nap in the afternoon, along with many other anglers on the boat, planned to fish all night.
The sea breeze at night carried a chill, making my face feel cold.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao reached her fishing spot, she quickly went back inside to put on her coat.
She turned on her X-ray glasses and saw that there were quite a few fish in the water ahead, but they were all of average size, mostly weighing less than 10 pounds.
With no big fish around, Chen Zhiyao casually cast her bait toward the nearest small, dark shape.
Soon, the fishing rod felt a slight pull, and the reel spun very slowly.
It wasn't very strong; it was probably a small fish weighing three or four pounds.
This little guy is moving haltingly and trying desperately to swim to the deep sea; it's definitely a grouper.
Chen Zhiyao turned off her X-ray glasses, and while reeling in the wires, shamelessly boasted:
"I didn't expect I had such good taste; I picked a grouper right away."
Grouper is more valuable than ordinary sea fish, so she was quite satisfied.
Chen Zhiyao, who was easily reeling in the fishing line, suddenly took a big step forward and almost bumped into the railing in front of her.
In fact, Chen Zhiyao was also filled with doubt and surprise at this moment.
The fish, which had seemed docile and not very strong, suddenly became extremely ferocious, as if it had undergone a complete transformation.
The fishing rod she was holding was now experiencing a continuous and immense pulling force.
The force was so great that she had never experienced anything like it before, and it was completely different from what she had just felt.
Chen Zhiyao gripped the fishing rod tightly, trying to steady herself, but the powerful pull still kept pulling her forward, almost dragging her into the water.
Just as she slammed into the railing of the ship, the pain in her chest brought some clarity to her panicked mind.
Only then did she realize that she hadn't doubled her effort yet.
When Chen Zhiyao doubled her strength, she immediately felt the pull on the fishing rod in her hand become lighter.
The pull that had almost dragged her into the water was no longer so difficult to control.
However, she wasn't at ease at this moment; she felt that the big guy below probably weighed 200 pounds.
Although the drag of the fishing rod has been locked in place, the force it is bearing is simply too great.
This small unloading device was simply unable to stop the enormous pulling force coming from underwater.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
A tooth-grinding sound rang out, and the reel was pulled wildly out of the line under the powerful pull.
In the blink of an eye, several meters of fishing line were quickly pulled out and disappeared beneath the surface of the water.
The intense pulling sensation in her hand excited Chen Zhiyao greatly.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of fish has such great strength?
"Is such a big fish a tuna, a swordfish, or a saddleback grouper?"
The thought that this was a giant sea fish weighing 200 pounds made Chen Zhiyao's heart burn with excitement.
The big creature in the water suddenly swam forward.
The dragging sensation from the fishing rod was as intense as a storm, making her blood boil instantly, and her palms and heart burned with excitement.
Despite her excitement, the 200-pound behemoth was still too much for Chen Zhiyao.
In just 20 minutes, she felt her arms starting to feel weak and her muscles aching terribly.
Seeing that she was about to give up, Chen Zhiyao quickly asked the staff to call Uncle Li over to help her reel in the fish.
As soon as he heard someone asking him to walk the fish, Uncle Li immediately ran over excitedly.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chen Zhiyao, an old acquaintance, and the smile on his face became even more sincere and radiant.
"You're something else, girl! Tuna again?"
"Oh dear, Uncle Li, you've finally arrived! Please come and help me, I really have no strength left!"
Before she could finish speaking, she eagerly handed the heavy fishing rod in her hand to Uncle Li.
It was as if the fishing rod was a hot potato.
Seeing this, Uncle Li muttered to himself: Is it really that exaggerated?
Just then, a tremendous force came from the fishing rod in his hand, almost pulling him into the sea.
Uncle Li was startled and immediately used all his strength to grip the fishing rod tightly, pushing his feet firmly against the ground.
As soon as he regained his footing, he couldn't help but excitedly shout:
"Holy crap! This fish is incredibly strong! It might be a giant tuna. If it's a bluefin tuna, we'll be rich!"
