While Chen Weiqiang was still hesitating, the quick-thinking Grandpa Chen went in and took out two hand-thrown nets.
The old man could tell at a glance that this brat wanted to fish with a net, so he simply stuffed one of the hand-thrown nets into his arms.
"for you."
"Thank you, Dad. I love you so much."
Grandpa Chen turned his face away somewhat awkwardly, his ears turning red, and immediately urged again:
"Alright, alright, stop dawdling here and get to work."
Chen Weiqiang tossed shrimp into the sea to create a feeding area, while simultaneously teasing the old man:
"Dad, you're blushing, hahaha."
"Get out, get out, what nonsense are you spouting?" Grandpa Chen was furious and embarrassed.
Fearing a beating, Chen Weiqiang didn't dare go too far, so he quickly wiped the smile off his face and earnestly threw the net into the sea.
There are quite a few small fish around here. With the strong attraction of the bait, all kinds of fish within ten meters flocked over.
The grandfather, grandfather, and grandson seemed tireless, casting net after net into the sea to catch fish.
Sea bass, turbot, yellowfin tuna, golden pomfret, white pomfret, yellow croaker, mackerel, sea bream, and smelt—there's no sea fish you can't catch, only the ones you can't imagine.
Chen Zhiyao had already made up her mind to catch as many fish as possible in the next couple of days before the fishing ban began.
And when she leaves, she will add some small fish fry to the sea.
This is indeed a good place. Once the fishing ban is over, these little fish fry will have grown up and can come here to fish again.
The things the three of them found on the internet kept changing.
At first, the nets caught mostly fast-swimming sea fish, and then came all sorts of strange and unusual seafood.
In one hour, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson caught several hundred kilograms of sea fish, and the buckets they brought were almost overflowing.
In addition, there were two large buckets of strange seafood, including cuttlefish, crabs, eels, octopuses, and giant octopuses.
It's not that these seafood items are strange; it's just that they're rarely caught directly in nets.
While the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson were resting together, Chen Weiqiang suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken in the gillnets and fish traps he had set the night before.
He immediately got into the driver's seat, ready to retrieve the fishing nets.
Plans can't keep up with changes. Unexpectedly, halfway through the fishing boat's journey, it encountered another group of large fish.
The fish finder revealed that these fish have long, oval bodies and are quite plump and round.
In addition, these fish are very large, with the largest estimated to weigh one or two hundred pounds and the smallest weighing forty or fifty pounds.
And there were exactly 30 or so, perfectly matching the group of bluefin tuna Chen Feng mentioned last night.
Faced with the bluefin tuna, the three of them forgot all about gillnets and traps and rushed onto the deck in a swarm.
Halfway there, Chen Weiqiang suddenly remembered that his wife was still sleeping, so he quickly turned back to call her.
When the couple arrived, Chen Zhiyao and Grandpa Chen already had a huge catch on their hook.
Seeing that the two had finally arrived, Grandpa Chen excitedly urged them on:
"Hurry, hurry, the fish below must be tuna. These fish won't stop, or they'll all get away."
The two picked up their fishing rods and skillfully hooked a huge squid onto them. Chen Weiqiang, ever the curious one, couldn't resist asking:
"Dad, what's going on with this? How big is it?"
"I think it's a tuna. Mine is a bit lacking, probably only around 60 pounds, but I bet Tangtang's is over 100 pounds."
As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them looked at Chen Zhiyao at the same time.
The fishing rod in her hand was being pulled almost into a circle by the giant creature in the sea, and the reel on it was spinning wildly, making a creaking sound.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao gritted her teeth and desperately struggled with the big fish in the sea, her face flushed with excitement.
Without even asking, just by looking at the condition of the fishing rod, the three of them knew that it must be a giant weighing over 100 pounds.
Just then, the couple, who were looking at their daughter with envy, felt a violent tug on their hands.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Weiqiang burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I caught a fish too! Mine isn't small either, I reckon it weighs a little over 100 jin (50 catties)."
"Wow, this is heavy. This is the biggest fish I've ever caught."
Yan Shuting had never caught a fish weighing over 100 pounds before, but judging from the strength of this fish, it must be a big one.
She couldn't estimate its exact size, but it was definitely a huge fish.
Compared to the excitement on Chen Weiqiang's side, Chen Zhiyao remained silent and focused on walking the giant creature in the sea.
This guy is very strong. Based on her previous experience fishing in the open sea, this must be a tuna weighing between 100 and 120 pounds.
However, it's hard to say which kind of tuna it is.
The fish was heavier than her and much stronger, making fishing quite strenuous.
If she hadn't caught several tuna in a row before and gained a lot of experience, she really wouldn't have been able to fight this hundred-pound behemoth head-on.
This fish is no pushover, having grown to such a size. Even though her strength has doubled, Chen Zhiyao still can't handle it with ease.
At this moment, the muscles in her arms tensed up, and her expression became increasingly ferocious.
There was no other way; at this critical moment, there was no time to worry about managing one's expression.
Large drops of sweat streamed down her forehead, and in less than 10 minutes, Chen Zhiyao was drenched in sweat.
However, this tense and exciting feeling of being pulled made her extremely excited, and her eyes became increasingly fiery.
Chen Zhiyao was self-aware; she knew that it would be very difficult for her to catch this 100-plus-pound tuna by herself alone.
So he patiently wore down the fish's energy, waiting for his grandfather to come and help.
Of the four, only Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang had the biggest fish, and both of them thought their fish weighed a hundred pounds.
The remaining two caught smaller fish.
The four of them had already discussed it beforehand, and they would go to help the father and daughter after the two of them caught the fish.
Chen Zhiyao persisted for half an hour, but she was already exhausted.
At this moment, she missed Uncle Li very much; she wished he were still here.
Fortunately, Grandpa Chen had already started retracting the line, and he would probably be able to come and help in a few minutes.
Chen Zhiyao gritted her teeth and persevered. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally heard the old man's laughter.
"It's a bigeye tuna. Although it can't compare to bluefin tuna, the price isn't bad either."
As he spoke, the old man chopped off the fish he had finally managed to catch, then began to clean its internal organs and bleed it.
When Grandpa Chen came over to help his granddaughter, Chen Zhiyao was almost exhausted.
P.S.: Is everyone on holiday?
