Less than two minutes after the bait was in the water, Chen Zhiyao's fishing rod suddenly sank.
She felt the pulling force in her hand was similar to that of the longtail snapper from before, and she estimated that this fish weighed about four or five pounds.
There was no need to play the small fish; Chen Zhiyao immediately started reeling it in, and a few minutes later, a dark pepper snapper was launched onto the deck.
This pepper snapper is rounder than the longtail snapper we just saw, but it's a bit shorter.
It looks small, but it weighs about the same as the longtail snapper we just had.
Next, Chen Zhiyao caught only stonefish.
Longtail snapper, pepper snapper, red snapper, black snapper, and striped pepper snapper, along with various other rock snapper, were being caught one after another.
Moreover, these stone-carved fish are particularly large, mostly weighing over two or three pounds.
Chen Zhiyao was lucky; half of the fish she caught were large ones weighing four or five pounds.
An hour later, the fish below, except for those that had been caught, had basically all dispersed.
Chen Zhiyao's buckets were already overflowing; the second live fish bucket at her feet was already half full of various colored rock bream.
In one hour, Chen Zhiyao caught three longtail snapper, all of which weighed over 4 pounds.
These three fish alone are worth four or five thousand yuan.
In addition, there were three pepper seabream, four spotted rock seabream, and many red seabream and black seabream.
She mentally estimated that these two buckets of fish could sell for at least six thousand yuan.
That's enough to buy six boat tickets; it's exciting to think about.
Although the stone-carved fish is not large, it doesn't inspire the same excitement as a giant fish weighing tens of kilograms.
However, since fishing is easy and profitable, Chen Zhiyao still likes it quite a bit.
Before even reaching their destination, they had already gotten off to a great start, and she had a feeling that this sea voyage would be very fruitful.
They encountered a large number of rock bream, and almost everyone on the boat was a rock bream rod.
Chen Weiqiang also caught two longtail snapper and was showing them off in the fishing group.
Grandpa Chen only had one longtail snapper, but the number of other fish far exceeded that of the others on the boat, so the harvest was quite good.
Even Chen Feng, who doesn't know how to fish, caught about ten rock bream and some small fish by casting his net a few times.
At this moment, everyone on the ship was beaming with joy.
After the fish dispersed, the fishing boat continued its journey, with the crew planning to fish for tuna in the Spratly Islands.
After an hour of fishing, everyone was quite tired. After showing off their catch, they happily returned to the cabin to rest.
After taking a nap in the morning, Chen Zhiyao couldn't fall back asleep, so she started watching videos.
After some time, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Shen Qingmei knew when the fishing boats would arrive, so she prepared the meal early. After lunch and a short rest, they could start fishing directly in the afternoon.
The food on the boat is all freshly caught; basically, they eat whatever they catch.
The highlight of lunch was the stone-carved fish, steamed black sea bream, steamed red sea bream, and a large pot of mixed fish stew.
Add a side of lettuce with oyster sauce, and a simple whole fish feast is ready.
During lunch, Chen Hu proudly boasted to Chen Zhiyao that the red sea bream and black sea bream they ate were all caught by him.
Although Chen Hu's fishing skills weren't as incredible as those of Chen Zhiyao who seemed to have cheat codes, his catch was still quite good.
I caught a whole bucket of various rock bream, and also caught two longtail snapper.
The larger fish were kept to sell, while the smaller fish, weighing less than half a pound, were sent to the kitchen.
Shen Qingmei was especially happy during the meal, having gained tens of thousands of followers during her live stream that morning.
Unexpectedly, after I finished cooking, the video of the longtail snapper I filmed in the morning went viral again, and I gained tens of thousands more followers.
Since she started going out to sea on her family's fishing boat, her number of followers has been steadily increasing, and she'll probably become a million-follower influencer soon.
After eating and drinking their fill, the fishing boat stopped in a spot that looked similar to the previous area.
"Dear passengers, a small school of fish has been detected in the waters below, about ten large fish weighing twenty or thirty pounds each. We wish you a pleasant fishing experience."
As soon as the broadcast came on, the fishermen who had been gathered together chatting and joking immediately sprinted to the deck.
Although it wasn't a tuna, a fish weighing twenty or thirty pounds was enough to excite these anglers.
For the large fish, weighing twenty or thirty pounds, Chen Zhiyao chose the squid she caught the night before as bait.
She skillfully hooked a half-pound squid onto the fishing hook.
Soon, the poor squid was delivered to a large, round, dark figure.
This shadowy creature is quite unique; its body is flat, but its front is exceptionally round, like a large disc.
The squid, pierced by a fishhook, could only wriggle slowly.
The injured little squid immediately attracted the attention of the large round plate next to it.
Seeing that the little creature posed no threat, the huge black shadow suddenly charged towards it.
With a wide-open mouth, it swallowed nearly half a pound of squid whole.
Immediately afterwards, the fish started acting strangely, thrashing around wildly and appearing very agitated.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao felt a series of intense pulls on the fishing rod in her hand.
Fortunately, she was prepared and doubled her effort beforehand.
When a fish in the sea is pricked by a fishhook, the pain makes it lose its senses and rush forward with even greater force.
Feeling the intense pulling on her hands, Chen Zhiyao felt her blood boiling.
"Wow, that's strong! That fish must weigh at least 30 pounds." His tone was full of excitement and exhilaration.
Judging from the size of the fish, she knew it was a deep-sea fish she had never caught before.
Chen Zhiyao was very excited, wondering what kind of fish it would be.
The fish started off with great energy, charging forward recklessly, but after only two minutes it became exhausted and eventually gave up.
It's a big fish, and it's strong, but it just won't move.
Chen Zhiyao even suspected that it was a worthless sunfish.
When she encountered a fish that was slacking off, Chen Zhiyao easily pulled it to the side of the boat.
Immediately afterwards, she pulled up a moonfish that was round like a disc, with bright red fins and silver spots on its body.
Moonfish
"Holy crap, I thought it was a sunfish, but it's a moonfish!" Chen Zhiyao exclaimed excitedly, her voice cracking.
The moonfish has a flat body, but it is a perfectly round shape.
It is blue on top and light rose red on the bottom, with silver spots on its body and bright red fins, making it look very special.
However, even more beautiful than its beautiful appearance is its price.
Moonfish is a high-end sashimi ingredient; a single piece of good quality meat can sell for tens of dollars.
