Chen Zhiyao wasn't greedy. After catching the fish, she happily took the big one to the village's purchasing station.
This fish weighed a full 38 jin (14 catties), and such a large sea carp is rare. My second uncle paid a high price of 45 yuan per jin.
Chen Zhiyao, who originally only came to fish for squid, unexpectedly earned an extra 1710.
Yan Shuting also caught two jin of rock goby, earning 120 yuan.
Although it wasn't as much as her daughter's, the money felt like it was free, and Yan Shuting was very satisfied.
Before going to bed, Chen Zhiyao opened the latest points page again:
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 2, Beachcombing Level 3
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 30 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
Seeing that she had already accumulated 10,000 points, Chen Zhiyao quickly exchanged them for another potion to increase her strength.
Strength +10%
Chen Zhiyao's strength has increased by 30% compared to before, and she felt much more relaxed when fishing just now.
She was full of confidence at this moment, feeling that she would not be afraid at all even if she encountered a giant object weighing a hundred pounds.
At worst, she can use the ship's crane to pull it up.
...
"Ring ring ring..."
As soon as the alarm clock rang, Chen Zhiyao got out of bed full of energy.
After getting ready, I went downstairs and found that my grandfather and father were already up.
Grandpa Chen had just returned from outside, carrying a full bucket of shrimp.
The sea isn't all big fish; if you encounter a school of smaller fish, these prawns can also come in handy.
However, the grandfather, grandfather, and grandson went to the shrimp pond to catch shrimp and fish every day, and there were very few large shrimp left. This bucket was the last batch.
Thinking of the small shrimp in the pond that hadn't grown up yet, Grandpa Chen planned to catch another batch of shrimp fry after fishing.
Besides their personal toiletries, the three of them brought mostly fishing gear and bait, filling the trunk of the van to the brim.
The three arrived at the town's dock, where they found that the uncle's family had arrived early and had just replenished their supplies of fresh water, oil, and ice.
As dawn broke, the people who had gone out to sea with him arrived one after another.
Besides the four boat owners who chartered the boat, there were four people who bought tickets to go fishing, plus the uncle's family of four, making a total of 12 people on the boat.
This time we're going fishing at the junction of the inner and outer seas; the fishing boat trip will take about five hours.
Fishing is not allowed while the fishing boat is in motion, so Chen Zhiyao had to go back to the cabin to take a nap.
Chen Zhiyao was sleeping soundly when suddenly the loudspeaker above her head started playing.
"Dear guest, a coral reef has been discovered ahead. There are schools of rock bream in the bottom waters. Please be careful not to snag the bottom when fishing."
"Dear guest..."
When the broadcast came on for the second time, Chen Zhiyao was fully awake and immediately grabbed her fishing rod and ran to the deck.
She paid for the boat ticket this time, and the fishing spots were randomly drawn; she just happened to draw spot number 3.
My grandfather and father are number 2 and number 7, respectively.
Chen Zhiyao noticed the announcement that the fish below were rock bream, and thinking they probably weren't too big, she took a large shrimp.
Grandpa Chen, who arrived even earlier than her, was already playing with the fish.
The rock bream wasn't very strong, and Grandpa Chen easily teased the fish below.
Chen Zhiyao cast her bait towards a large-looking dark shape below, then casually asked:
"Grandpa, where is this?"
"We should be arriving in Hainan soon. I heard there are schools of tuna in the Spratly Islands, so the boat owner changed the destination at the last minute."
"We happened to encounter a school of rock bream halfway through, so we stopped."
"No wonder, they said it would take 5 hours to arrive, but I was woken up after only 2 hours of sleep."
Although everyone was focused on catching tuna, these rock bream were quite large, so Captain Chen Daqiang decided to catch them first.
Tuna are a rare find, and the fish you encounter later may not be as precious as these stonefish.
The grandfather and granddaughter had only exchanged a few words when Chen Zhiyao's big fish finally took the bait.
After the shadowy figure representing the prawn disappeared, the fishing rod in her hand began to be pulled violently.
The reel was spinning slowly and evenly. The fish's pull wasn't too strong; Chen Zhiyao estimated it to be around four or five pounds.
Below is a coral reef, where fish can easily hide in holes. If you're not careful, your fishing line can be cut by the sharp rocks.
Since the fish was only a few pounds in size, Chen Zhiyao immediately locked the drag and began to reel in the line violently.
The fishing line was halfway back in, and the fish was pulled to the middle layer of water.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao started to play with the fish.
Just then, Grandpa Chen caught an ugly peppered snapper, which was quite big, weighing more than 4 pounds.
Chen Zhiyao watched with envy, then stopped fishing and started to exert force in her arm, frantically turning the handle of the fishing reel.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao slowly pulled the fish to the side of the boat.
In the water was a large, fiery red fish with a very special, long, and red tail, making the whole fish look bright and eye-catching.
After just one glance, Chen Zhiyao excitedly exclaimed, "Nagao Beach Snapper!"
But before she could finish getting excited, the dream fish suddenly swam frantically in the opposite direction from the fishing boat.
Presumably sensing a change in the surrounding water pressure, the fish became agitated and swam frantically forward.
However, this amount of strength was no match for Chen Zhiyao's increased strength, and she was quickly pulled back to the side of the boat by the fishing line.
Looking at the slender, fiery red dream fish on the sea, Chen Zhiyao was extremely excited.
At this moment, the older cousin quickly stretched out the net in his hand, caught the beautiful fish, and pulled it up.
Nagao Beach bream
The longtail seabream, also known as the silky-tailed red diamondfish, generally inhabits coral reefs and rocky seabeds.
This fish is usually red or orange, with a long tail fin, hence the name "long-tailed sea bream".
This fish is perfect for sashimi; it's a high-end fish and also a very precious ornamental fish.
If the longtail snapper is alive, it can sell for three or four hundred yuan per kilogram.
The fish that Chen Zhiyao caught weighed exactly 5 jin (2.5 catties). If she's lucky, she could sell it for 2,000 yuan.
Longtail snapper are schooling fish; if you catch one, it means there are many more below.
The other fishermen on the boat immediately became as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Just as Chen Zhiyao cast her bait back into the water, Chen Weiqiang, who was not far away, also caught a longtail snapper.
However, it is a bit smaller, weighing only about three pounds.
This completely ignited the passion of the fishermen present.
