With the resistance set to maximum, Chen Zhiyao then adopted a posture that allowed her to exert force more effectively.
The thrill and excitement of catching a big fish boosted her spirits, making her feel full of energy.
However, this 40-pound fish was not to be trifled with. It thrashed about in the pool and almost got tangled with the fishing line next to it.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the big fish in the water suddenly changed direction; otherwise, if it had gotten tangled with other people's fishing lines, it would have been impossible to catch the fish.
However, she felt that letting the guy run around like that wasn't a solution, and it would cause trouble if he tangled all the fishing lines in the pool.
So she quickly tightened the drag and tried turning the fishing reel to reel in the line.
Presumably, the fish below were a bit tired from all that darting around, and she actually managed to reel in over twenty meters of line.
However, not long after they had rested, the fish began to charge around wildly again.
The fishing line, which had just been pulled back more than 20 meters, was suddenly pulled out another seven or eight meters.
The two, one human and one fish, were pulling frantically, and the fishing rod and reel in Chen Zhiyao's hands made a series of creaking sounds.
The fish was incredibly strong; after only 10 minutes of playing it, Chen Zhiyao felt weak and her arms ached terribly.
At this moment, a tall, dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man shamelessly stepped forward and said:
"Hey beautiful, you look tired. How about I help you play the fish for a bit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, burly man next to him immediately pushed him aside and then took out a red bill from his wallet.
"Hey beautiful, let me handle this. Here's 100 yuan. I'll help you play the fish for 10 minutes."
The other men standing nearby also wanted to speak, but after being glared at by the burly man in front of them, they swallowed their words, daring not to utter a sound.
Only then did Chen Zhiyao realize that several people had gathered behind her without her noticing.
And everyone was staring intently at the fishing rod in her hand, wishing they could snatch it and play the fish right away.
The carp weighed over 40 kilograms! The people around it were so envious they were practically green with envy.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang had actually noticed long ago that a huge thing had taken the bait on Chen Zhiyao's side.
However, the two of them had just caught some fish, and the father and son were currently playing with them.
As more and more people gathered around, Grandpa Chen finally caught a large carp weighing over 10 kilograms.
The old man pushed through the crowd, his face beaming as he squeezed in: "Tangtang, are you tired? Let me help you fish."
Chen Zhiyao was indeed tired at this point, so she readily handed over the fishing rod.
The burly man, still holding banknotes, was somewhat displeased, but seeing that the two knew each other, he didn't say anything more.
With a sour look on his face, he picked up his fishing rod and returned to his fishing spot.
Feeling the frantic drag of this 40-plus-pound behemoth, Grandpa Chen was extremely excited, as if he had become several years younger.
However, he had just caught a big fish and spent a long time playing it, so he soon felt a bit tired.
Seeing that he was a little tired, Chen Zhiyao immediately took the fishing rod from him. After resting, she felt full of energy.
The grandfather and granddaughter took turns playing with the fish for another 20 minutes before Chen Zhiyao finally realized that the big guy in the sea couldn't swim anymore.
Feeling the pulling force from the fishing rod getting weaker and weaker, and the reel almost unable to turn, Chen Zhiyao quickly and frantically spun the reel to start reeling in the line.
30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, the fish in the sea slowly approached the shore, and Chen Zhiyao felt her heart beating faster and faster.
Just two or three meters from the shore, the giant creature in the sea suddenly began to struggle violently, creating waves that were more than a meter high.
However, Chen Zhiyao didn't take this resistance seriously at all. Together with Grandpa Chen, they dragged the big guy ashore.
Chen Weiqiang had just caught a 20-pound sea barbarian and rushed over, just in time to see the grandfather and grandson grinning as they lifted the fish onto the water.
Chen Weiqiang, who was a step too late, frantically slapped his thigh.
"A giant fish weighing over 40 kilograms! If only we had come earlier, we could have fished it out a bit."
Accompanying Chen Weiqiang were staff members from the fishing pond.
A handsome young man jogged over and quickly took the giant sea koi that was exhausted.
The handsome young man led Chen Zhiyao to the counter to weigh her.
"Dear guest, this fish weighs 43 jin (approximately 21.5 catties). According to the rules of this fishing ground, we have to buy back the fish. This is the money we will give you back."
He then took out 300 yuan in cash and handed it to Chen Zhiyao.
Although it was a bit of a shame that she couldn't take the fish with her, it was the rule of the fishing ground, so she had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as he received the money, the handsome guy next to him put the 43-pound giant sea carp back into the giant fish pool in front of everyone.
The sight of the 43-pound giant carp energized the anglers present, who immediately began casting their fishing rods back to the spot where they had just released the fish.
Grandpa Chen and Chen Weiqiang, however, did the opposite and took Chen Zhiyao to a quieter place with fewer people.
Chen Weiqiang then explained to Chen Zhiyao with a smug look on his face:
"Those fish aren't stupid, do you think they'd stay put? There are so many people over there, they've probably scared the fish away. It's quieter here."
Chen Zhiyao secretly turned on her X-ray glasses, and sure enough, there were two huge black shadows nearby, which, judging from their shapes, should be the sea carp.
In addition, there were many long, dark shadows nearby, and they looked quite large.
After determining the approximate location of these dark figures, Chen Zhiyao turned off her X-ray glasses and then cast the bait directly at one of the giant dark figures.
Chen Weiqiang, who was standing nearby, was lucky; his bait landed right next to another giant black shadow.
The father and daughter chose a good spot, but it was Grandpa Chen who got the fish biting the hook the fastest.
The fishing rod was stretched into a terrible shape; if it weren't for its good quality, it probably would have broken.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was wondering if the old man had also caught a sea carp, the fishing rod in her hand suddenly sank.
The pulling force in his hand was exaggerated, but it was still slightly smaller than the giant carp from before.
She estimated that it should weigh around 30 to 40 kilograms.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were struggling to reel in the fish, Chen Weiqiang soon got a bite on his hook as well.
The grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter all caught fish at the same time, but no one helped them play the fish.
Chen Zhiyao could only increase the resistance and then use techniques to slowly wear down the big guy's stamina by alternating between loosening and tightening.
After playing with the fish for nearly 40 minutes, Chen Zhiyao finally pulled a plump, giant carp out of the water.
Meanwhile, the fishermen watching the spectacle all wore expressions of envy and longing.
Just then, the handsome young man from before reappeared and took Chen Zhiyao to be weighed.
This fish is a little smaller than the previous one, weighing only 38 jin (14 catties) in total.
However, the forced return fee is also 300 yuan.
In just one hour, I made 600 yuan.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the crisp new banknotes in her hand and couldn't stop smiling. "Not bad, not bad, the hourly wage is still quite high."
