The fish and the turtles were gone, and the sea returned to calm.
Seeing that there were no more fish below, Chen Zhiyao got up and walked along the coastline.
Along the way, we mostly saw small fish weighing one or two pounds. It took us almost 10 minutes to find a perfect fishing spot.
There is a huge, protruding rock on the sea, and hiding under the rock are several rather large dark figures.
There were at least seven or eight of these dark figures, the largest of which weighed about 10 kilograms, and the smallest weighed about four or five kilograms.
Moreover, each one was plump and looked like a grouper.
Moreover, several long, thin creatures were hiding under the crevices in the rocks; they looked like moray eels.
Besides these big ones, there are even more small fish and shrimp.
Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to yourself, so Chen Zhiyao immediately called her father:
"Dad, I've found a good spot up ahead. You and Grandpa, hurry up and come along. Just keep walking along the coastline."
"Okay, okay, your grandfather and I will be there right away."
After his daughter left, Chen Weiqiang's fishing rod remained still. He became especially excited when he learned that there was a new fishing spot.
When the father and son arrived, Chen Zhiyao had already been playing with the fish for quite a while.
Although the fish in the sea don't swim very fast, they are incredibly strong, violently pulling the fishing rod into a crescent shape.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The reel was now being pulled so hard it was making a creaking sound, and the fishing line had already been pulled out twenty or thirty meters.
As the pulling force from the fishing rod increased, Chen Zhiyao became more and more excited. Her heart was pounding so fast that her palms started to sweat with excitement.
The father and son knew as soon as they arrived that a big fish had taken the bait, and they excitedly threw their bait into the water.
However, the big fish was strong and took a long time to play. The two were worried that the fishing lines would get tangled, so they deliberately cast the bait a little further away.
There was plenty of seafood here, and soon the father and son were catching fish one after the other.
Feeling the strong pull in their hands, the father and son became even more excited.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao also felt that the big fish in the sea was getting tired, and the speed of the reel was also slowing down.
The fish in the sea are tired; now it's her turn to exert her strength.
Chen Zhiyao's arm muscles tensed as she forcefully turned the handle of the reel.
As the fishing line was gradually reeled in, the exhausted fish was forced to be dragged toward the fishing boat.
Although the fish didn't have much strength left, it hadn't completely lost its ability to move and would struggle every now and then.
Chen Zhiyao's forehead was covered in more and more sweat, but at this moment she was extremely excited, and her eyes were even more fiery.
The two struggled back and forth for several minutes, but in the end, Chen Zhiyao was more skillful and managed to pull it out of the water.
Presumably sensing the change in air pressure, the fish became agitated, wildly thrashing its tail as it emerged from the water, splashing out a large spray of water.
However, no matter how much she struggled, it was no use, and Chen Zhiyao still dragged her ashore.
The fish is yellowish-brown with some grayish-black vertical stripes on its body.
Although it's not common, she recognized it at a glance: it was a suspension bridge grouper.
The suspension bridge grouper, also known as the bow-spotted grouper, has delicate and smooth flesh, making it very suitable for sashimi. It is a relatively expensive type of grouper.
Suspension Bridge Grouper
This fish is quite large, as long as Chen Zhiyao's arm, and probably weighs about fifteen or sixteen pounds.
The price of sea fish is usually higher for larger ones, and with the current surge in seafood prices, it's estimated that it could sell for over 100 yuan per kilogram.
Considering the value of this fish, Chen Zhiyao carefully placed the precious suspension bridge grouper into the live fish bucket.
Immediately afterwards, she hung up a large shrimp.
After looking around, I finally cast the bait towards the very back, in front of what looked like the largest dark shape.
Whether the fish had just eaten its fill or was worried that the prey that had come to it was a trap, it hesitated to make its move.
After waiting for two minutes, Chen Zhiyao began to lose patience. She dragged the fishing rod back, intending to move it to the dark shadow a little further behind.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, no need to waste time here.
Chen Zhiyao was worried about scaring the fish away, so she didn't dare to move too fast and could only slowly control the bait to move backward.
They had barely started moving, barely a meter, when the dark figure hurriedly caught up.
Sure enough, whether it's a human or a fish, they all have a bit of a perverse nature. When they're nice to you, they ignore you, but when they give up and leave, they start chasing after you relentlessly.
The dark figure moved quickly, and as soon as it caught up, it swallowed the prawn whole.
At the same time, Chen Zhiyao felt a strong pull from the fishing rod in her hand.
The fish was hoping for a good meal, but instead, its mouth was pierced by a fishhook.
The stinging sensation drove it mad, and it immediately began to frantically thrash about in the sea.
The reel spun extremely fast, and the fishing line kept flowing out.
Seeing this, Chen Zhiyao quickly readjusted the drag on the fishing rod and began to enjoy the tense and exciting pulling sensation.
The fishing rod bent at an even greater angle than before. Based on the strong pulling force, Chen Zhiyao estimated that the fish weighed about 20 pounds.
If this 20-pound fish is also a grouper from the suspension bridge, then you'll be rich.
Chen Zhiyao took a moment to observe the fish's escape movements; it was very strong, and its behavior was quite similar to that of the grouper from the suspension bridge earlier.
The powerful pull of the big fish, combined with the double temptation of a huge sum of money, made Chen Zhiyao even more excited, and the smile on her face became even more unrestrained and bright.
The fish in the sea have exceptional stamina; even after being fished for 10 minutes, they showed no signs of fatigue, and the reel was still turning with a "creak, creak" sound.
Before the big fish in the sea had even tired up, Chen Zhiyao felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly turned on her X-ray glasses for beachcombing.
Then I felt the strength that had disappeared return to my body, and the fatigue also disappeared.
Chen Zhiyao felt that she was in a particularly good state right now, and she wouldn't get tired even if she caught another 10 or 8 big fish.
Thinking that there were still many big fish waiting for her to catch, Chen Zhiyao, full of energy, quickened her pace and began to fight the fish in the sea.
Ten minutes later, a giant grouper weighing about 20 pounds was pulled out of the water, and at the same time, a wave more than a meter high rose up on the sea.
At over 100 yuan per jin (500g), a single grouper from the suspension bridge is worth at least 3000 yuan.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Wei, who were standing nearby, were so envious that their eyes reddened and their hearts ached.
The father and son also caught two grouper, but they were much smaller than the ones Chen Zhiyao caught, weighing around seven or eight pounds each.
Chen Weiqiang was still somewhat unconvinced, "We all fish together, and we use the same bait, so why does Tangtang always catch bigger fish than us?"
"You can only blame your bad character!" Chen Zhiyao teased with a grin.
"..." Chen Weiqiang was speechless.
What he didn't know was that his daughter had already mastered a skill, always choosing to catch the biggest fish.
Besides Chen Zhiyao, the father and son are also incredibly lucky, otherwise they would be out of the game every day.
