This fierce tug-of-war can finally come to an end.
At this crucial moment, Chen Zhiyao's gaze became even more resolute, showing no sign of politeness.
With a sudden burst of force, the reel at the tip of the fishing rod began to spin rapidly, making a creaking sound.
The originally slack fishing line now seemed to come alive, contracting back at an astonishing speed.
The fish in the sea was clearly unwilling to give in so easily; it struggled desperately, trying to break free from the fishing line.
However, due to the overwhelming difference in strength, it could only be dragged little by little by the powerful pull, slowly but irresistibly moving closer to the shore.
The air pressure is different in the deep sea and the shallow sea, and the fish in the water feel a strong sense of unease.
With each inch closer, the fish's resistance grew stronger, but all of this seemed powerless in the face of Chen Zhiyao's skillful technique.
A dozen minutes later, a plump, large fish leaped out of the water, attracting the attention of the group of fishermen on the boat.
Looking at this huge creature, Chen Zhiyao felt as if she had seen an unparalleled handsome man, her face beaming with joy that she couldn't hide.
It's a huge grouper from the suspension bridge, weighing at least 60 kilograms.
It's currently the fishing ban season, and given the size of this grouper from the suspension bridge, it should fetch at least 200 yuan per jin (500g).
Hehe, she's definitely going to win this competition.
Compared to Chen Zhiyao, whose face was beaming with excitement and joy, the grouper lying on the deck was not in such good condition.
Due to the enormous pressure difference between the seabed and the surface, this poor grouper suffered unprecedented torment from the moment the line was reeled in.
Her once round and smooth belly was now bulging, as if it had been stretched to its limit by an invisible force.
His eyes bulged outwards, his eyeballs almost falling out of their sockets, and they were bloodshot.
This appearance made the grouper look exceptionally ferocious, and Chen Zhiyao lost interest in taking pictures and asked the crew on the boat to come and deal with it.
Two handsome boatmen stepped forward and skillfully tied colorful cable ties to the tail of the large fish before them, then carried it to the weighing area.
Although there would be an announcement on the ship later, she wanted to know how heavy the fish was as soon as possible, so she ran after it impatiently.
“Beautiful lady, this grouper weighs 66.8 jin.”
This fish weighs a full 66.8 jin (33.4 catties), which is worth at least 10,000 yuan based on the current price of grouper.
Chen Zhiyao caught two groupers in one morning, earning back her boat ticket and making several thousand yuan. She was overjoyed.
After admiring the great fish with a broad smile for a while, she returned to her fishing spot with joyful steps.
Upon seeing her family, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but start showing off:
"Let me tell you, the grouper from the suspension bridge just now weighed a full 66.8 jin (33.9 catties), which is worth at least 10,000 yuan."
"Wow, it's so big! You're going to be rich, girl!" Yan Shuting looked at her daughter with eyes full of admiration.
Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen also gave a thumbs up, showering each other with compliments as if they were free.
Chen Zhiyao continued triumphantly, "This isn't even the biggest one; I've caught even bigger ones!"
Chen Weiqiang, standing nearby, said sourly, "You're just bragging!"
Chen Zhiyao raised her head, her face full of indignation, "I wasn't bragging, we'll see."
That's what she said, but she didn't plan to start right away and thought she'd take a break first.
She caught two groupers weighing several tens of kilograms each, and her hands were still trembling.
However, considering the nearly 10,000 yuan boat ticket, I felt a bit guilty lying in bed.
So she changed the big hook on her fishing rod to a small hook, intending to fish for small fish for a while and take a break.
However, it shouldn't be too small; around five or six pounds is just right.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao hooked a large shrimp onto the small hook.
She casually tossed the bait into the sea and then sat down comfortably on a small stool.
The sunlight felt warm and cozy on her skin, and a gentle breeze made her feel so comfortable that she wanted to sleep.
She had just yawned when suddenly the fishing rod dipped slightly, followed by a light but not heavy pull.
A fish has taken the bait!
The fish wasn't very strong, so Chen Zhiyao excitedly stood up and started reeling in the line.
A few minutes later, a fish with black stripes leaped out of the water.
"Wow, that spotted peppered snapper is quite big, it looks like it weighs four or five pounds!"
Grandpa Chen, who was fishing at spot number 5, had a complicated expression, a mixture of joy and sadness.
"Haha, how about that? Aren't I amazing?" Chen Zhiyao looked at her father next to her and smiled smugly.
"It's barely acceptable." Chen Weiqiang's eyes were red with envy, but he still insisted on being stubborn.
Although the fish wasn't very big, it wasn't cheap, and Chen Zhiyao was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
Soon, the fishhook with the shrimp on it was cast back into the sea.
With a "plop," it disappeared into the unfathomable depths of the sea, leaving only ripples that gradually spread outwards.
The fish were caught very quickly this time; the moment the hook hit the water, the fishing rod in my hand felt a pull.
The pulling force wasn't great; it was probably just a small thing weighing a few kilograms.
I wonder what kind of fish I'll catch? Will it be cheap fish like barracuda or bass, or more precious fish like rock bream or grouper?
Chen Zhiyao gripped the fishing rod tightly, feeling the wonderful pull in her hand, while a sense of anticipation and excitement welled up in her heart.
At this moment, the fish in the sea were also unwilling to lose their lives and struggled desperately.
Unfortunately, he was still too weak and was completely outmaneuvered by Chen Zhiyao.
Just as she began reeling in her line, Yan Shuting, at fishing spot number one, suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Hahaha, it's a longtail snapper! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Hearing the sound, Chen Zhiyao turned her head and saw that her mother's fishing rod had been bent into a beautiful arc.
Above the water's surface was a longtail snapper weighing six or seven pounds.
Yan Shuting skillfully reeled in the line, and in no time, a longtail snapper, whose value was even greater than its appearance, was steadily placed in her hand.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyao quickly pulled the fish out of the water as well; it was also a beautiful pink fish.
Unfortunately, it was a red sea bream. Although the price was good, it was still much worse than my mother's longtail sea bream.
Knowing that there were valuable creatures like longtail snapper in the water, Chen Zhiyao had already identified her target before casting her fishing hook.
This time, she specifically chose a small black shadow with a long tail.
With a strong flick of his wrist, the bait landed smoothly next to the dark figure.
