The fishhook was firmly stuck in the fish's mouth, and every time it swam, it felt a sharp pain, which made it increasingly agitated.
Sensing that the fish in the sea were relaxing their grip, Chen Zhiyao turned the fishing reel to reel in the line.
Sensing danger, the large creature in the water began to struggle violently and swam rapidly to the left.
"call out"
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The fish struggled and thrashed about in the sea, while the people on the boat gripped their fishing rods tightly, making a hissing sound as the reel was pulled.
The creature in the sea was very strong, and Chen Zhiyao felt her strength rapidly draining away, and her arms were getting increasingly sore.
His facial expression became increasingly ferocious, and he no longer cared about controlling his expression.
Sweat quickly soaked the stray hairs on Chen Zhiyao's forehead. At this moment, her heart was pounding and her blood was boiling. She had no mind to care about anything else.
Both the human and the fish are engaged in a fierce struggle and game of wits.
Chen Zhiyao was completely immersed in the joy and excitement of fishing, as if she didn't feel tired at all.
Suddenly, a fish in the sea gave a sharp tug, and the huge pull dragged her directly to the ground.
Despite falling, Chen Zhiyao still held tightly to her fishing rod.
As long as the person is there, the pole will remain.
As soon as she climbed up from the deck, she heard several "oh-ho" sounds coming from not far away.
The gloating tone was all too obvious.
Chen Zhiyao, having straightened up again, glanced over there briefly.
This time, it was Sister Yan who got the line cut, and she was slapping her thigh hard with a face full of frustration.
"Clap clap clap..."
Even from this distance, she could clearly hear the crisp sound, which showed how hard she hit it.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Zhiyao instinctively felt a sharp pain in her thigh.
Chen Zhiyao only glanced at it before quickly snapping back to reality and continuing to play with the fish.
This big one is most likely a tuna, but she doesn't have time for this kind of excitement.
However, I couldn't help but wonder how big the fish was, even though Sister Yan was so well prepared.
The shop owners not far away were still gloating, throwing their bait in the direction where the fish had escaped.
Immediately following was a series of angry curses from Sister Yan.
After nearly 40 minutes of playing with the fish, the big guy in the sea finally got tired.
I felt the tension from the fishing rod decrease, and the reel barely moved anymore.
Ignoring the soreness in her arms, Chen Zhiyao immediately began frantically turning the reel handle to quickly reel in the line.
Of course, the process wasn't too smooth. This guy still had some strength and would occasionally throw a violent resistance.
A man and a fish engaged in an extreme tug-of-war, with the man trying to escape while the fish pulled.
After seven or eight minutes, Chen Zhiyao, exhausted, finally managed to pull the big guy to a distance of three or four meters from the fishing boat.
The fish was huge, casting a massive shadow on the surface of the sea.
Unfortunately, it was still some distance from the water's surface, so she couldn't immediately see what kind of fish it was.
With victory in sight, Chen Zhiyao suddenly unleashed a burst of power and began to retract the line.
After some violent dragging, the fish was finally pulled to the side of the boat.
The large creature in the water was still struggling to survive, leaping out of the water with great effort.
Amidst the splashing water, Chen Zhiyao spotted a huge fish that looked quite familiar.
It was another yellowfin tuna, a bit bigger than the previous one; Chen Zhiyao estimated it weighed about 40 pounds.
At this point, Chen Zhiyao had completely exhausted her strength. Not to mention pulling the fish up, she felt like she could barely lift her arms.
At the crucial moment, my second cousin Chen Hu came to help, and the crane quickly pulled the big thing out of the sea.
Chen Hu, his face beaming with excitement, carried the massive creature to be weighed.
"Tangtang, this fish weighs 39.8 jin (14.9 catties), making it the biggest tuna caught by everyone so far."
"..."
Chen Zhiyao looked hesitant, but inwardly cursed several times.
At this moment, she finally understood her grandfather's feelings. This baby weighs 39.8 jin (14.9 catties), why doesn't he eat more and grow to 40 jin (20 catties)?
It was just a little short of reaching another level; such a big fish can have a price difference of several hundred.
Seeing that his little cousin was too tired to speak, Chen Hu quickly bled the yellowfin tuna.
Looking at the nearly 40-pound tuna, Chen Hu was filled with envy.
Although he also caught a yellowfin tuna, it only weighed 26 pounds, which was far less than the big one in front of him.
Exhausted and with every last bit of energy drained, Chen Zhiyao had no interest in fishing anymore.
After drinking a large glass of water, he slumped onto the deck to rest, staring blankly at a small island in the distance.
uninhabited island
This island looks quite large, and it's located at the junction of the inner and outer seas. I wonder if there's any valuable seafood on the island?
With some free time, Chen Zhiyao thought about going beachcombing again.
After resting for a while, Grandpa Chen's excited laughter came from the side.
Chen Zhiyao looked in the direction of the laughter and saw that the old man had caught another yellowfin tuna weighing more than 20 pounds.
By this time, almost everyone on the boat had caught one or two tuna, but they were all small fish weighing around 20 or 30 pounds, and they were all yellowfin tuna.
The hundreds of kilograms of tuna that Chen Zhiyao had been looking forward to, and the extremely expensive bluefin tuna, never appeared.
Grandpa Chen was quite satisfied, though. The waters they were in were only a few dozen meters deep, so they were actually very lucky to have encountered a school of tuna.
It's estimated that you'd have to go to the open sea to find a tuna weighing over 100 pounds.
Chen Zhiyao rested for a while before slowly walking to her fishing spot.
The X-ray glasses were turned on again, but the large dark shadows in the sea had long since vanished without a trace.
It's unclear whether it was fished away by the people on the boat or ran away sensing danger.
Chen Zhiyao glanced at the other people on the boat; almost none of them had caught any fish.
The seabed was teeming with small creatures, and Chen Zhiyao lost interest in fishing.
Just then, the aroma of food wafted from the ship's small kitchen.
"Gurgle gurgle"
She caught two yellowfin tuna weighing over 30 pounds each, and the seafood porridge she ate that morning had long since been digested.
The aroma of the food made my mouth water.
She took out her phone and saw that it was already 1 a.m. No wonder she was so hungry and had no energy.
The fish underwater were all small fry, and Chen Zhiyao, who was used to catching big fish, didn't even bother with them. She rushed to the kitchen like a gust of wind.
Steamed golden pomfret, pan-fried white pomfret, stir-fried squid, plus a large plate of lettuce with oyster sauce.
All the seafood was freshly caught from the sea, and it tasted exceptionally good. Chen Zhiyao was very satisfied with the meal.
The tuna schools in the morning seemed to have used up all our luck, as the fishing wasn't great in the afternoon.
All afternoon, no one managed to catch a fish weighing more than 5 pounds; most of the fish caught were small pomfret weighing just over a pound.
Although everyone caught quite a few pomfret, they didn't see a single fighting pomfret.
Chen Zhiyao only caught 5 white pomfret in one afternoon.
Chen Zhiyao had just caught two giant fish weighing over 30 kilograms each this morning, so she no longer cared about these small shrimp.
She put away her fishing rod, lay lazily on a rocking chair, and leisurely watched the sunset in the distance.
Sunset
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao muttered to herself, "I'm going back tomorrow. I wonder if I'll be able to catch a bluefin tuna."
