After eating and drinking their fill, the group, eager to go fishing, hurried back home.
On the way back, I happened to pass by fishing spot number 10.
Li Jiahe, who shared a room with Chen Zhiyao and the others, just then caught a large sea wolf weighing seven or eight pounds.
As if sensing the danger of the outside world, the creature thrashed wildly as it emerged from the water.
The seawater was violently flung into the air, and countless water droplets in mid-air formed a colorful rainbow under the sun.
Grandma Chen is rather superstitious. Looking at the rainbow in the mist, she turned to her daughter-in-law with a beaming smile and said:
"This little rainbow is quite pretty; it's probably a good omen. We're sure to catch a big one today."
Grandma Chen had just caught a six-pound grouper and was very envious of her granddaughter's 42-pound seven-banded grouper.
At this moment, she was eagerly anticipating catching a big one, preferably the grouper from before.
If we can catch one, we'll at least get back most of the boat fare.
Yan Shuting, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
"The fishing is really good today. I caught several sea fish in just one hour this morning."
"This sea wolf is quite energetic; it can even create rainbows."
Looking at the little rainbow in the sky, Chen Zhiyao also thought about fishing a wave later.
I wonder if I'll ever see a rainbow again?
The rainbow was like fireworks, fleeting and gone in a minute.
The rainbow disappeared, and the group continued walking towards their fishing spots.
When the group returned, Chen Weiqiang had just pulled an enormous bass out of the water.
Upon seeing several familiar figures ahead, he immediately shouted excitedly:
"Dad, hurry up, help me scoop up this fish, it's at least 50 pounds."
Upon hearing that it was a large piece of meat weighing over 50 kilograms, Chen Zhiyao and the others immediately perked up.
"Hey, they're here! They're here!"
Grandpa Chen grabbed an extra-large net and jogged over with nimble steps.
And a few little followers were trailing behind them, coming to watch the excitement.
The old man was still vigorous despite his age, and he scooped the giant bass out of the water in one go.
This sea bass looks a little bigger than the grouper that Chen Zhiyao caught earlier.
Unfortunately, the father and daughter were comparing the price of fish; if they were to really compare, he would lose.
But he didn't care at all; he was holding the big bass and taking pictures with a silly grin on his face.
Grandpa Chen took the opportunity to also take some of his son's fish for a photo.
Just now, they said it was a 50-pound fish, but after looking at it, Chen Zhiyao felt that her father had exaggerated the figure; the fish was probably only about 45 pounds at most.
And it's not as valuable as her seven-banded grouper.
Just as Chen Zhiyao finished baiting her hook, the cheerful announcement rang out again from the boat:
"Congratulations to the angler at fishing spot number 2 for catching a giant sea bass weighing 44.3 jin (approximately 22.5 catties), which is the heaviest fish caught on the boat so far."
"Congratulations to number 2..."
Immediately, everyone's envious gaze shifted from Chen Zhiyao to Chen Weiqiang.
"One must be strong to forge iron," Chen Zhiyao thought confidently and didn't care at all.
Before fishing, Chen Weiqiang threw in a lot of frozen bait to create a feeding area, along with the help of bait additives.
At this moment, there were many fish of all sizes in the water in front of us.
Chen Zhiyao quickly spotted a huge black shadow that weighed at least several tens of kilograms.
Holding the fishing rod, she carefully cast the bait directly above the dark figure.
As soon as the hook hit the water, a light but firm pull was felt on the fishing rod. Clearly, a fish had taken the bait.
At this moment, her face did not show the joy of catching fish, but rather a hint of doubt.
"So fast? The bait hasn't even reached the seabed yet!"
Looking down, I saw that the bait had indeed been snatched by a small fish.
This fish wasn't very big, but its mouth was quite large; it ate a half-pound squid in one bite.
And this fish looks small, but it's actually quite strong.
Looking at the fish's slender body, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but wonder, could this be a sea wolf?
Although she had thought about catching a sea wolf, it was just a thought.
Sea wolves are nowhere near as valuable as groupers.
However, she had no choice but to accept it, since the creature was greedy and had delivered itself to her doorstep.
Fish in the sea, judging by their size, weigh at most five or six pounds, and their strength is limited.
After about 10 minutes of walking, the guy was already exhausted and couldn't swim anymore.
Feeling the tension on the fishing rod decrease, Chen Zhiyao began to exert force, shaking the handle of the fishing reel so hard it was almost blurry.
Three minutes later, she pulled a half-grown, silvery-white wave wolf out of the water.
The fish hadn't given up yet. It had gathered some strength earlier, and after leaping out of the water, it frantically thrashed and twisted its tail in mid-air.
Water splashed directly onto Chen Zhiyao's face, but the rainbow she had been expecting did not appear.
She wiped the seawater off her face with her sleeve, and with a mighty effort, she launched the sea wolf from mid-air onto the deck.
Since sea bream were worthless, Chen Zhiyao casually tossed them into the bucket at her feet and quickly rebaited them.
This time it went very smoothly; the bait landed right next to a huge dark shadow.
With the addition of the material companion and the enhanced Lucky Fishing Rod, its power is still quite strong.
The big guy automatically approached and started eating.
Less than two minutes later, the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand was suddenly pulled hard, and then a huge pulling force came.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The fishing rod in my hand bent dramatically in an instant, and the reel at the top spun rapidly, making a "creaking" sound.
The fishing line, which had seemed a little loose, was suddenly pulled taut by a powerful force and became taut in an instant.
Fish darted about in the sea, their massive bodies constantly churning the surrounding water and creating wave after wave of surging waves.
Based on the strength of the fish, she could tell that it was definitely heavier than the seven-banded grouper from before.
Chen Zhiyao gripped the fishing rod tightly, turned on the drag, and began to play the fish with an excited expression.
The sting of the fishhook gradually made it agitated, and it swam frantically into the depths of the sea.
The fish in the water were a bit clumsy, but they were very strong, and the fishing line was flying wildly outwards.
Suddenly, a strong pull caused Chen Zhiyao to take a step forward and crash directly into the railing.
This thing is really strong, and she doesn't want to fight it head-on.
Just relax and let the fish dart around below, slowly expending its energy.
After about 10 minutes, she felt the fish's pull lessen, and that's when she could start slowly reeling in the line.
Although the fish had expended some energy, it was not yet exhausted and continued to fight back with all its might.
The fishing line was constantly being pulled back and forth, repeating this back and forth continuously.
After struggling for half an hour, Chen Zhiyao finally realized that the big guy in the water had exhausted all his strength.
