The fish Chen Zhiyao caught this time was stronger than the grouper she had caught earlier, and it was also very ferocious.
Before I knew it, it pulled me so hard I stumbled and almost fell into the water.
Fortunately, there was a small tree nearby, as thick as a thigh. Chen Zhiyao hugged the tree trunk to steady herself and used it for support to stand up again.
Then a new round of tug-of-war and competition begins.
Compared to the evenly matched situation on Chen Zhiyao's side, Yan Shuting was clearly much more relaxed.
The fish she caught this time wasn't very strong; it looked to weigh only a few pounds.
I tried to play with the fish like my daughter for a few minutes, and I could clearly feel that the fish in the sea had become weaker.
She immediately began to pull and tug, spinning the reel in the middle with a whooshing sound.
The fishing line was quickly pulled back, and the fish in the sea were very unwilling, but helplessly pulled towards the shore.
When they were pulled to within two or three meters of the shore, the fish in the sea seemed to have rested and suddenly began to exert their strength.
The fishing line that had just been pulled back was pulled away several meters again in no time.
The man and the fish pulled back and forth, making a creaking sound as they pulled the fishing reel and line.
Yan Shuting helped out on her family's fishing boat from a young age and is very strong.
Within minutes, a beautiful grouper with a grayish-blue body and white spots was pulled out of the water.
Hearing the sound of the fish breaking the surface of the water, Chen Zhiyao turned her head and looked over. Amidst the splashing water, she immediately recognized the blue creature as a blue-spotted grouper.
Blue-spotted grouper
This fish is not only beautiful, but also very reasonably priced.
Chen Zhiyao gave her mother a envious look, her eyes filled with a hint of jealousy.
"This blue-spotted grouper looks to weigh five or six pounds, and it's wild, so it's probably more expensive than the banded grouper that escaped from the fish farm earlier."
Yan Shuting was also very happy to see the fish. "It's almost Chinese New Year, and seafood prices have risen quite a bit recently. I think this blue-spotted grouper can sell for at least 100 yuan per catty."
When luck comes, you can't stop it. Just as Chen Zhiyao was struggling to reel in the fish, Yan Shuting caught another big sea wolf weighing eight or nine pounds.
Chen Zhiyao spent half an hour struggling to keep the big fish in the sea from swimming any further.
Seeing that the spinning fishing reel had finally stopped, Chen Zhiyao began frantically reeling in the fishing line.
Although the fish in the water had run out of strength, their own weight and the resistance of the seawater were still quite significant.
It took her several minutes to reel in a dark blue grouper.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Shuting's excited voice rang out:
"Tangtang, you're amazing! This blue-spotted grouper must weigh at least seventeen or eighteen pounds."
Although the two are still competing, the money is now in their family's pocket, and Yan Shuting is very happy for her daughter.
Chen Weiqiang often talked to his wife about his daughter's great achievements in fishing, but Yan Shuting thought he was exaggerating.
It wasn't until we went fishing together that we realized this girl really does have some luck.
Although I only caught two fish, both of them were large, weighing over ten kilograms, and both were expensive fish.
Although we have a larger quantity of fish, the weight and price of the fish are significantly lower.
Now she had to admire the little girl; she did have some luck.
Chen Zhiyao had no idea what her mother was thinking, and happily reattached the bait.
When she opened the X-ray glasses again, she found that all the large groups of dark shadows in the sea had been caught.
On the water's surface, only a few small, dark shadows remained, along with some small fish swimming happily.
However, she did not underestimate these medium-sized shadowy figures, since she could not see what kind of fish they were, and they might be more valuable items.
As Chen Zhiyao was pondering which lucky fish to cast her bait at, Yan Shuting excitedly called out to her several times.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, look! Tangtang, look at the fish I caught!"
Chen Zhiyao turned her head and saw a red figure wagging its big tail halfway through the journey.
She recognized the fish very well; it was clearly a red-spotted fish weighing over three pounds.
Indeed, the price of fish cannot be determined solely by its size.
Chen Zhiyao, who was originally going to cast the bait towards the largest dark shadow, changed her hand and the bait landed next to the smallest dark shadow.
The fishing rod soon vibrated slightly, and I immediately lifted the rod to set the hook.
Feeling the tension increase, Chen Zhiyao began to adjust the tension relief.
The fish wasn't very strong, and after casually playing it for two minutes, she got bored and started reeling it in quickly.
Immediately afterwards, a grayish-brown tiger stripe was pulled out of the water by her.
This tiger grouper isn't very big; it looks like it weighs only a little over two pounds.
Although they are both grouper, this one is 20 times more expensive than the red grouper.
"Sigh, I should have gone fishing for a bigger fish."
Tiger grouper is relatively inexpensive among groupers, even less so than sea bass.
When Yan Shuting saw that her daughter had only caught a small tiger grouper, the schadenfreude in her eyes was almost unmistakable.
"Hmph, it's still early." Chen Zhiyao proudly raised her head.
Perhaps it was because their companions were gradually decreasing, but the fish in the sea sensed the danger.
When Chen Zhiyao turned on her X-ray glasses, she noticed that the dark figures in the water were either hiding in the crevices of the rocks or swimming away into the distance.
Meanwhile, Yan Shuting, completely unaware of the danger, was happily casting her fishing bait into the water.
Chen Zhiyao got up to go look around, but when she got up, the fishing bait accidentally fell into the water.
Just as I was about to reel in the fishing line, I felt a slight pulling sensation in my hand.
"A fish has already taken the bait?"
Chen Zhiyao reacted quickly and immediately started playing with the fish.
However, the little guy in the sea wasn't very strong, and after less than two minutes, Chen Zhiyao violently pulled him out of the water.
You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, and they may thrive.
I didn't expect it to be a red-spotted fish, but it wasn't very big, barely weighing about two pounds.
Yan Shuting had just caught a three- or four-ounce stone goby when she turned around and saw her daughter beaming as she carried a red-spotted fish.
"Your speed is unbelievable! It's only been two minutes and you've already caught the fish?"
"There's nothing I can do, I'm just that good." Chen Zhiyao said smugly, her big tail practically wagging.
Looking at the red-spotted fish, she decided not to leave. No matter how big the fish was, it couldn't compare to the price of a red-spotted fish.
However, it seemed that the mother and daughter had run out of luck. For the next hour or so, they didn't catch a single fish and could only stare at each other in frustration.
Sunset at the pier
As the salted egg yolk on the horizon was about to fall onto the sea, the mother and daughter reluctantly got up to pack their things.
