Chen Zhiyao had barely played the fish; the rock bream on the deck were jumping and frolicking.
The fish seemed unaware that it had left its familiar waters and was about to become a human's meal.
Chen Zhiyao, with a smile on her face, skillfully removed the fishhook and happily placed her catch into the bucket next to her.
In the time that followed, she stirred up trouble like a rock bream.
She quickly reeled in the line and lifted the rod, pulling one plump rock bream after another out of the water.
In just half an hour, Chen Zhiyao caught eight rock bream.
Among them were three pepper seabream, two red seabream, and the remaining three were particularly beautiful damselfish.
Although the price of the rock bream was not bad, the size was too small, and Chen Zhiyao soon got tired of it.
Both are fishing, but she would definitely prefer to catch a big fish.
If she catches two more grouper weighing around 20 pounds each, she'll be rich.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyao immediately picked up her fishing rod and paced back and forth lightly on the spacious deck.
Sharp eyes, like a scanner, constantly scanned the surroundings, as if searching for some precious treasure.
After a careful search, her gaze finally settled on a huge dark shadow not far away.
At the same time, Chen Zhiyao secretly rejoiced in her heart:
Wow, this guy is huge! He must weigh at least 30 pounds, right? Hmm, I've decided, you're the lucky one this time!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao skillfully raised the bait high in her hand and then forcefully cast it out in a graceful arc.
Through repeated practice over this period, she has mastered the technique of casting a rod to perfection.
With a "plop," the bait landed steadily near the dark figure.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
The moment the bait hit the water, the previously still shadowy figure suddenly seemed to sense danger and began to slowly move to the left.
By the time the bait finally came to rest, the big fish had already swum at least three or four meters away.
Chen Zhiyao was not discouraged or gave up. She immediately began to gently sway the fishing rod from side to side, trying to attract the attention of the big fish.
However, things didn't go as planned; the shrimp on the hook didn't want to cooperate with her plan.
Despite being hooked by a sharp fishhook, it still swam with all its might in the opposite direction, trying to get away from the dangerous dark shadow in the water.
This slight rebound stirred up a series of tiny splashes, but no matter how hard it tried, it could never escape the hook's grasp.
Soon, the poor shrimp successfully attracted the attention of the dark shape in the water.
A huge black shadow rushed swiftly toward the slow-moving shrimp.
In the blink of an eye, the huge black shadow rushed to the shrimp like lightning and swallowed the poor little guy whole without any mercy.
At the same time, the sharp fishing hook was also swallowed.
Feeling the immense pull from the fishing rod, Chen Zhiyao's heart suddenly raced.
Feeling the hook had been swallowed, she lifted the fishing rod without hesitation.
The next second, the fishing rod in my hand seemed to come alive, trembling violently, and a powerful pull suddenly surged from the bottom of the water.
The force was beyond imagination. Chen Zhiyao felt the fishing rod in her hand being pulled hard, and it almost flew out of her hand.
She couldn't help but gasp: "So heavy! With that kind of pulling force, there must be a big fish down there."
The intense pulling force caused the thin muscles on Chen Zhiyao's arms to instantly taut into hard lines.
She could even clearly feel that every muscle was under tremendous pressure.
The big fish in the water seemed tireless and felt no pain, continuing to swim frantically, trying to break free from the hook.
And so, a thrilling tug-of-war ensued between the man and the fish.
Time passed second by second, and after countless back-and-forth battles, the big guy in the water finally began to show signs of fatigue.
Sensing that its struggles were gradually weakening, Chen Zhiyao took the opportunity to reel it in, pulling it closer to the fishing boat little by little.
Five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters... As the distance drew closer, her heart beat faster and faster, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
Finally, accompanied by a crisp "splash" sound, a nearly one-meter-long sesame grouper broke out of the water.
This sesame grouper was twice the size of the previous suspension bridge grouper, and it took Chen Zhiyao a lot of effort to pull it from the water to the deck.
As soon as she removed the fishing hook, she couldn't wait to take the big fish, which was almost as tall as herself, to be weighed.
As she turned around, two tall, even more excited little followers followed her.
As soon as the large fish was placed on the electronic scale, the numbers on it immediately started jumping wildly.
"37.8 jin, not bad, not bad, I estimate it can sell for several thousand yuan."
Chen Zhiyao, the little money-grubber, was having a good time when she was suddenly pushed aside by Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen behind her.
The father and son, all smiles, placed the exhausted fish on the ground.
Not minding the dirt, the two of them lay down on either side of the sesame grouper, grinning foolishly.
The grouper that had appeared unusually large next to Chen Zhiyao suddenly looked much smaller.
Just as Chen Zhiyao regained her footing, Grandpa Chen had already struck a pose with a broad smile, constantly urging his granddaughter on:
"Tangtang, come here quickly and take two pictures of Grandpa. Make sure to make this big fish look huge in the photos!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Weiqiang, who was standing to the side, could not contain his excitement and struck what he thought was an incredibly cool pose.
"Tangtang, don't forget to make your handsome dad look even more dashing in the photos!"
"Shameless." Grandpa Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"Here I am! Here I am!"
Just as the three of them were arguing about taking a photo, with laughter and chatter filling the air.
Yan Shuting, who had been focused on fishing, suddenly exerted her strength and jerked the fishing rod in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, a rat-like creature weighing about two pounds burst out of the water, drew a graceful arc in the air, and landed steadily on the deck.
The presence of both red-spotted fish and grouper left the father and son, who had just been showing off on social media, completely dumbfounded.
The two fished for half a day, but only caught a few sea bass, and they weren't very big.
The father and son stared intently at the rat spots on Yan Shuting's hand, their eyes burning with envy and jealousy.
At this moment, the father and son were so jealous they were practically envious, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.
After a day of fishing for sea bass, the father and son were still hoping to turn things around, but time was running out, and the alarm clock had already started ringing to tell them to go home.
After gathering up the nets and about 20 cages from the sea, the mother and daughter cheerfully urged the indignant Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather to go back. Back on the dock, the sky was ablaze with red clouds, as if adding a soft glow to the surroundings.
The dock in front of her looked both cozy and romantic, and Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but take out her phone to record it.
