A new day begins! Exhausted from yesterday's day, Chen Zhiyao went to bed early. As soon as it was light, she energetically took her fishing gear and went to the deck.
She thought she was early, but to her surprise, quite a few people were already fishing on the deck.
The fishing seemed to be going well today; she saw several people playing with their fish along the way.
Sure enough, the early bird catches the worm.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao arrived at her fishing spot with cheerful and lively steps.
To her left was a middle-aged man with half-gray hair. He had an exceptionally complete set of fishing gear; almost anything that his family's fishing tackle shop could sell, he could find there.
She didn't know how good his fishing skills were, but this person must be extremely wealthy.
That pile of fishing gear alone must cost tens of thousands of yuan.
The uncle on the left cheerfully took out two fishing rod holders and skillfully tied two fishing rods worth tens of thousands of yuan to the railing.
For safety reasons, a safety rope was also tied on it.
After freeing his hands, he leisurely drank tea and scrolled through his phone.
Chen Zhiyao also has this fishing rod holder, but she has the bonus from the beachcombing system, as well as the help of the lucky fishing rod and bait companion.
The fish are caught so quickly that I never need to use it. I've never used it since I bought it. At most, I just tie a safety line to the rod.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was mixing the bait she was going to use with bait additive, the rest of the family members came up to the deck one after another.
Just like yesterday, she distributed a small bucket of bait with added ingredients to each person.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang would boast about their fishing skills in the fishing group every day.
The two were unaware that it was actually their granddaughter/daughter who had secretly given them a cheat code.
With a piece of bread in her mouth, Chen Zhiyao cheerfully turned on her fishing glasses.
She had just seen so many people playing with their fish and thought there were schools of fish down there, but it turned out that the fishing was not as good as yesterday, with only a few scattered shadows below.
There weren't many fish, but their sizes varied greatly, with some weighing dozens of kilograms and others only a kilogram or two.
Chen Zhiyao liked to fish for big fish, so she put two big squid on her hook and then threw them forcefully at the nearest big dark shape.
Her aim was actually quite good, but unfortunately the big fish below wasn't cooperating; the moment she cast her bait, it swam quickly forward.
The big fish I had been eyeing got away, and the bait, along with the heavy sinker, fell into an open space.
Just then, a long, dark shadow darted out and swallowed the giant squid in front of it whole.
With a large head and a small, unusually long body, the shape of this dark shadow looked somewhat unfamiliar, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't immediately guess what kind of fish it was.
She felt the pull from the fishing rod and estimated that the fish weighed no more than ten pounds, and certainly no more than twenty pounds.
Chen Zhiyao had already drunk several bottles of potions to enhance her strength, so this size of sea fish was no challenge for her at all.
Fish living in the deep sea generally cannot survive once they are brought out of the water due to the different pressure levels.
It is important to note that the thread should not be wound up too quickly, otherwise the rapid change in pressure may cause it to burst open, which will significantly affect its appearance.
The quality of sea fish directly affects the price of the catch, so Chen Zhiyao always pays special attention when reeling in the line.
After leisurely strolling for 10 minutes, a bright green bighead carp appeared on the surface of the sea.
To be honest, it was the first time she had ever seen such a green fish; its huge head took up almost a third of its entire body.
Although she had never fished for it herself, Chen Zhiyao had grown up by the sea and recognized it immediately as a mahi-mahi. The mahi-mahi, also known as the tuna mahi-mahi, is a very distinctive fish; once you've seen its unique appearance, you'll almost never forget it.
The head is not only blunt and rounded, but also unusually large, forming a stark contrast with the relatively slender body.
Its entire body presents a graceful cone shape, while its tail is slender and silky, forked into two parts, like a delicate fork.
Mahi-mahi is a member of the large fish family, and can grow up to one or two meters long, with a weight that can soar to tens of kilograms.
Mahi-mahi primarily feeds on small fish such as flying fish and sardines, dominating the vast ocean with its agile movements and sharp teeth.
However, despite its large size and distinctive features, the katana is not expensive on the market.
In the market, it costs only about 20 or 30 yuan, but if you take it to a purchasing station, it will only cost about 10 yuan per kilogram.
Interestingly, the mahi-mahi and the famous large yellow croaker share a striking similarity.
When they were alive, they were all covered in a bright and dazzling coat.
But after it dies, its alluring color will slowly fade, as if its soul has been taken away, and it will become dull and lifeless.
Chen Zhiyao pulled the half-meter-long ghost-head knife onto the deck, and everyone around looked over.
There's no way around it, this fish is just too green, it's practically an eyesore.
The fully equipped uncle next to her clicked his tongue in amazement: "The young lady is lucky. Such a big demon-head knife is not commonly seen."
"The size is alright, but the price is a bit cheap."
Chen Zhiyao spoke very sincerely, but everyone around her felt like she was in Versailles.
She stuffed the fish into the large fishing box next to her and skillfully re-hooked a large squid.
This time, her gaze was fixed on a chubby, dark figure in the distance.
Judging from its size, it must be a grouper weighing several tens of kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao gripped the fishing rod and swung it hard, sending the bait flying into the distance like a bolt of lightning.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.
Just as the bait was about to land precisely near one of the large, dark shadows.
Something unexpected happened: a slender black shadow suddenly rushed out like a ghost.
Then, with lightning speed, they intercepted the delicious food in front of them.
Chen Zhiyao carefully observed this unexpected obstacle.
With its peculiar shape, large head and relatively small body, and long and thin body, it looks exactly like a mahi-mahi.
Before she could even react, the mahi-mahi had already swallowed the bait and was quickly swimming towards the seabed, dragging the fishing line along with it.
She's quite strong, but the experienced Chen Zhiyao didn't panic.
Judging from the strength of this fish, it's probably similar to the mahi-mahi from before, weighing around ten pounds.
Time passed quietly as the fishing line was continuously reeled in.
Suddenly, with a sharp jerk of the rod by Chen Zhiyao, a ghost-headed knife fish with a faint green glow burst out of the water.
At this time, many people on the boat also caught mahi-mahi.
When there's too much of something, it becomes less special. This time, with fish on the menu, basically nobody cared.
