The fishing rod in my hand doesn't have much pulling force, and the fish doesn't move much after it bites the hook.
The feeling Chen Zhiyao got was similar to that of the manta ray from earlier.
Although it was still a manta ray, Chen Zhiyao was still happy. After all, the fish was quite big and cost 20 yuan per jin (500 grams). Catching one would bring in several hundred yuan.
She jerked the fishing rod upwards and clearly felt the pull increase slightly, though only a little.
Soon, the fish in the sea stopped moving, as if they had been unhooked.
Since the fish wasn't running away, there was no need to play it. Chen Zhiyao quickly spun the reel and started reeling in the line.
This fish tends to slack off; it only starts to exert force when she reels in the line.
I must say, although this fish doesn't like to move around and prefers to slack off, it's actually quite strong, and it's very difficult to reel in the fishing line.
Fortunately, Chen Zhiyao was strong and pulled hard, steadily reeling in the fishing line.
Within minutes, she pulled a manta ray with a smiling expression out of the water.
However, this manta ray was a little smaller than the previous one, weighing just over 30 pounds.
Looking at the fish with a smiling expression, she thought the manta ray was quite interesting.
Although it is a fish, it has human expressions.
Strangely enough, apart from the moonfish that Chen Zhiyao caught at the beginning, everyone on the boat, including herself, caught manta rays afterward.
In the next two or three hours, except for a few particularly unlucky airmen, almost everyone on the boat caught two or three manta rays.
Shen Qingmei gained a small wave of followers on her account after live-streaming her fishing for manta rays.
One afternoon, almost everyone on the boat was struggling around the group of manta rays below.
Despite the fishermen on the boat complaining that the manta ray was too cheap to be as good as the moonfish.
But it's not easy to encounter such a big fish normally, so these people are more joyful and enthusiastic than anyone else when they're fishing.
After the school of manta rays dispersed, the atmosphere on the boat became quiet, and for more than half an hour, no one's fishing rods moved at all.
Even with their cheat codes, the Chen father and son only managed to catch two worthless baby sea wolves.
In the afternoon, Chen Zhiyao had a remarkable catch, including three manta rays in addition to moonfish.
The largest one weighed a full 38 jin (14 catties), and the two smaller ones weighed 30 jin (15 catties) each.
After catching several big fish, her arms became as limp as noodles.
Since there were no more fish down there, Chen Zhiyao simply lay down on the rocking chair and started playing on her phone.
The sea breeze was blowing gently, and she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Before long, she fell asleep.
In the morning, we encountered a school of stonefish, and in the afternoon, we encountered a school of manta rays. The owners have almost made back the money they spent on chartering the boat.
The first day at sea was very successful, and everyone was in high spirits.
Seeing that there were no more fish here, the group urged Chen Daqiang to set sail and go fishing for tuna elsewhere.
Old Wang: "Uncle Chen, the fishing is good today. Let's hurry up and check other places. Maybe we can find some tuna."
"Yeah, I'm incredibly lucky today. I caught three longtail snapper, and I've already made back the boat fare. If I catch a tuna too, I'll be rolling in money."
Sister Yan, standing to the side, watched Chen Daqiang with a smile, eager to bring up two tuna.
The boat was paid for by someone else, and the fuel costs were also covered by several bosses, so Chen Daqiang was naturally very happy to travel to more places to find tuna.
Chen Daqiang thought to himself with delight that he had never caught a tuna before and wondered if he could catch two on this trip.
As it turns out, when luck comes, you can't stop it.
Less than half an hour after the fishing boat set sail, the fish finder detected two large fish in the water below, the smaller one estimated to weigh fifty or sixty pounds.
The larger one weighs at least a hundred pounds.
Moreover, its body looks round and plump, and it even resembles a tuna.
Even if it wasn't a tuna, a giant fish weighing over a hundred pounds would be enough to excite this group of anglers.
Chen Daqiang quickly stopped the fishing boat and then turned on the boat's public address system:
"Dear guests, two large fish have been detected in the waters below. The smaller one weighs fifty or sixty pounds, while the larger one weighs over a hundred pounds. Please change your fishing rod and hooks as soon as possible. We wish you a pleasant fishing experience."
Chen Zhiyao, who was sleeping soundly, immediately jumped up from her chair and ran to her fishing spot with great enthusiasm when she heard about the huge object weighing over a hundred pounds.
She thought she was already quite fast, but to her surprise, there were already several excited fishermen standing on the deck, their faces flushed.
Grandpa Chen, who was standing nearby, was hanging a squid the size of a fist onto his fishing rod.
Not to be outdone, Chen Zhiyao found a huge squid weighing about seven ounces in the bucket and hung it up.
She controlled the fishing line and cast it directly to the right front, towards a huge dark shadow near her grandfather.
If something is offered to you, you might as well eat it.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce pull came from the fishing rod; the fish had taken the bait!
Chen Zhiyao activated the force-dissipating mechanism and was just about to exert her strength when she didn't expect the fish below to thrash wildly like madmen, with astonishing strength.
She was caught off guard by the tremendous force transmitted from the pole and crashed straight into the railing of the boat.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The line was pulled out of the reel at an unusually fast speed; in just a few seconds, seven or eight meters of fishing line were pulled away.
Leaning against the railing, Chen Zhiyao felt an unprecedentedly strong pull from the fishing rod and guessed that the fish weighed at least 50 kilograms.
As the saying goes, "a pound of fish is worth ten pounds of strength," meaning this big guy is incredibly strong.
Chen Zhiyao, ignoring the pain in her chest from the impact, quickly stood up and started playing with the fish.
Although she had drunk a potion to enhance her strength, it was still quite strenuous to play with a fish that weighed fifty or sixty pounds.
Her main strategy now is to stall, conserve her own energy, and then slowly wear down the big fish in the sea.
The fish in the sea were in pain from being pulled by the fishing hook, and they rushed forward in agitation, with the beautiful sound of the fishing line cutting through the water constantly echoing in the water.
Feeling the fish getting stronger, Chen Zhiyao quickly gripped the fishing rod tighter.
Ten minutes later, Chen Zhiyao was already feeling a bit tired, especially in her arms and hands.
At this moment, Grandpa Chen, whose fishing rod had not moved at all, stared at her expectantly.
"Tangtang, are you tired? Let me help you play the fish for a bit." With that, she eagerly snatched the fishing rod from her granddaughter's hand.
Catching big fish is every angler's dream. Although this fish was caught by his granddaughter, it was still a fish caught by the Chen family.
That's roughly what he caught.
The grandfather and grandson took turns fishing, and it took them almost an hour to exhaust the giant fish.
The fish had been thoroughly exhausted by the two of them, and the reeling process went exceptionally smoothly.
Before long, the two of them pulled up a huge creature that was entirely green and had a large bump on its head.
But Chen Zhiyao wasn't happy to see such a big fish; she grumbled and said:
"It's a Napoleon wrasse. I should have known better than to fish for it; it was a waste of my time."
Napoleon wrasse
