After battling the giant fish in the sea for 300 rounds, both Chen Zhiyao and the fish were exhausted.
The tension on the fishing rod gradually decreased, and the reel, which had been making a whooshing sound, stopped.
However, Chen Zhiyao was also panting heavily at this point. Her arms were so tired that she couldn't lift them at all, and her fingers were stiff and numb.
Finally, the big creature in the sea was pulled up by a crane.
It was a yellowfin tuna, and it looked a size bigger than the one Grandpa Chen caught.
As soon as the fishhook was removed, Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to carry it to be weighed with Chen Hu and Chen Feng.
Looking at the numbers on the electronic scale, Chen Zhiyao grinned:
"Weighing 119.7 jin, this is the biggest fish I've ever caught."
A 120-pound tuna! Chen Hu, standing to the side, was so envious that his eyes turned red, and he felt even the air was sour.
He helped out on the boat and caught only one bigeye tuna weighing over 60 pounds at first. Later, he got so busy that he barely had time to fish anymore.
Actually, Chen Hu's harvest these past two days has been quite good, but over 100 pounds of tuna is something to be excited about.
When he looked at Chen Zhiyao, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Chen Zhiyao was completely caught up in the moment. She pushed the fish to the two brothers and hurriedly grabbed her beloved fishing rod and ran off.
"Big brother, second brother, could you please help me process this tuna?" Before she could finish speaking, she had already run off.
Chen Hu stared longingly at his older brother, his eyes filled with desire to go fishing as well.
Seeing that none of the people on the boat were currently playing the fish, and that they wouldn't need his help anytime soon, Chen Feng lightly kicked his younger brother.
"Get out of here, get out of here!"
"Brother, you look really handsome today," Chen Hu said with a grin, then ran towards the stern of the boat like a gust of wind.
Sister Yan, Lao Wang, and two other big bosses who chartered the boat didn't forget to throw bait into the sea while fishing.
These baits attracted a large number of fish.
She turned on her X-ray glasses and discovered that there were more fish under the fishing boat than before, but they were all small, mostly small fish that lived in the middle and upper layers of the water.
As for tuna weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms, not a single one was seen.
Chen Zhiyao looked as if the sky had fallen, "Where's my tuna? How come they're all gone?"
Without tuna, Chen Zhiyao lost interest, slowly hooked a squid onto her fishing line, and then casually tossed it into the sea.
Before long, I felt a moderate pull on the fishing rod in my hand.
Having grown accustomed to the constant, violent sprints of tuna, she was a little unaccustomed to being replaced by small fish.
The fish wasn't very strong, so Chen Zhiyao didn't bother playing it and just forcefully spun the reel to reel in the line.
Within minutes, she flew a black sea bream weighing about three or four pounds onto the deck.
Thinking of the three-pound red sea bream that she had just taken, Chen Zhiyao put the black sea bream back into her grandfather's bucket with a fawning expression.
At that moment, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.
"Gurgle gurgle"
"Gurgle gurgle"
The grandfather and grandson's stomachs both started to protest at the same time.
Chen Zhiyao touched her flat stomach and belatedly realized that she hadn't eaten lunch yet.
Then I saw Shen Qingmei bring over lunch, which was more than two hours late.
The anglers, who were only focused on fishing, simply squatted down next to their fishing rods and ate their boxed lunches.
The only people sitting together in the kitchen eating were Chen Zhiyao, who was exhausted, Chen Feng, who couldn't fish, and Shen Qingmei, who was checking fan comments.
Shen Qingmei had good luck today, catching a yellowfin tuna weighing over 60 pounds during her live stream.
Not only can you make a small profit, but you also gain a lot of new fans.
Shen Qingmei was really happy today, and she put a lot of thought into cooking.
Even though seafood is delicious, you can't eat it every day, so she specially made braised pork ribs with dried green beans and stir-fried cured pork with dried bamboo shoots.
Fresh meat is difficult to preserve, so what was brought on board was mostly cured meat.
After eating seafood for several meals in a row, Chen Zhiyao finally got to eat pork today. Her appetite increased greatly, and she ate three bowls of rice.
He showered Shen Qingmei with compliments as if they were free, making her overjoyed.
Worried that she might overeat, Shen Qingmei specially made her a cup of hawthorn water to aid digestion.
"Sister-in-law, you're so wonderful. My brother is so lucky to have married you," Chen Zhiyao said with a smile as she took the hawthorn juice.
Chen Feng raised his hand and flicked Chen Zhiyao's forehead. "Your brother isn't bad either. I'm the village's heartthrob, after all."
Chen Zhiyao rubbed her forehead and glared at him with dissatisfaction: "You gave yourself that title, didn't you? I don't recognize it."
The school of tuna we encountered this morning seemed to have used up all our luck.
The fish finder clearly detected a lot of fish moving around under the fishing boat, but these little guys just wouldn't bite.
Even with the lucky fishing rod, Chen Zhiyao and her two grandchildren couldn't get it right; they just sat there for an entire afternoon.
After dinner, Chen Daqiang sailed his fishing boat to a new body of water.
The fishing is better here, but you can only catch small fish weighing less than 10 pounds.
First came the longtail snapper, costing several hundred yuan per kilogram, then the tuna, costing hundreds of kilograms. Everyone's gotten a bit carried away.
These little guys weighing less than 10 pounds are no longer considered good enough by everyone, so they simply gather together to brag and tease each other.
Old Wang looked modest, but his tone was smug as he said:
"The weather wasn't great this time. I only caught two longtail snapper, one yellowfin tuna, and one bigeye tuna."
Sister Yan smiled and rubbed her arm with a helpless expression:
"That yellowfin tuna that weighed over 100 pounds this morning was so strong that it strained my arm muscles. It looks like I'll have to rest for a few days."
"Sister Yan and Brother Wang, you guys are amazing. I'm no match for you. I only have four tuna weighing sixty or seventy pounds each. I'm far inferior to you guys."
The speaker was a young girl with a completely unfamiliar face named Li Nuo, who happened to be sleeping in the bed next to Chen Zhiyao on this sea voyage.
Linoza, with her hair in a bun, looks like an adorable young beauty, but it turns out she's also a fishing expert.
Lino has recently become obsessed with fishing and is still in the beginner protection period, so he's been having a lot of luck.
My fishing rod has been practically constantly in use these past two days; I've either been playing fish or on my way to weigh them.
Although the fish caught were not the heaviest, the number was quite considerable, with four tuna alone.
Chen Zhiyao and she were about the same age, and they got along quite well. They even added each other on WeChat and made plans to go fishing at sea together next time.
Actually, the best fisherman on the boat was Chen Zhiyao, who caught three tuna, one of which weighed 119 jin (74.5 catties), and the other two were also quite large.
However, she has an advantage and is too embarrassed to compare herself with others here.
They could only watch these people in Versailles with amusement.
