After sitting on the deck for a while, Chen Zhiyao finally turned on her X-ray glasses to observe the underwater situation.
Apart from the three large tuna still lingering, all the other tuna in the water in front of us have escaped.
The tuna, all over thirty yuan, escaped at once, breaking Chen Zhiyao's heart.
Just then, Yan Shuting's excited voice came from behind:
"Mine is also a bigeye tuna, it's huge, at least 60 or 70 pounds."
Yan Shuting usually only fishes in the nearshore waters, and the biggest fish she has ever caught is a grouper weighing over 20 kilograms.
This was the first time she had ever caught such a big fish, weighing 60 or 70 pounds, and she was overjoyed.
If I weren't afraid of revealing the location, I would have loved to announce to the world that I had caught a 60-pound tuna.
Chen Zhiyao felt her strength returning and quickly went over to help bleed the fish.
After removing the tuna's internal organs, make a cut at its artery, then hang it up and let it bleed out on its own.
The bloodletting was not complicated, and within minutes, Chen Zhiyao returned to replace Grandpa Chen.
Having already rested well, she turned on the X-ray glasses, and with the increased strength, she felt all her fatigue disappear, and she began to play the fish with renewed energy.
The fish had been played by the grandfather and grandson for 40 minutes, and was starting to tire. She tried to reel in the line.
Feeling the pull of the fishing line, the big fish in the sea knew that danger was imminent, so it began to struggle violently.
Although the tuna tried to resist, it was still slightly outmatched by Chen Zhiyao, who had already rested.
Unable to resist, it could only helplessly be slowly dragged backward by the fishing line.
As Chen Zhiyao violently reeled in the line, it was gradually pulled back.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After only a few minutes, the tuna in the sea, having probably rested enough, unleashed another tremendous burst of power.
The man and the fish pulled back and forth for nearly 10 minutes before the fish was completely exhausted.
However, Chen Zhiyao was also running out of energy at this point.
Grandpa Chen, who was watching from the side, quickly took the fishing rod from his granddaughter and began to reel in the line with great excitement.
60 meters, 50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters.
Seeing that there wasn't much fishing line left, Grandpa Chen reluctantly handed the fishing rod to Chen Zhiyao.
She had just rested and, full of energy, took the fishing rod and began frantically turning the reel handle.
10 meters, 8 meters, 6 meters, 4 meters, 2 meters...
Chen Zhiyao stared intently at the huge black shadow beside the ship, preparing to use a crane to pull the behemoth up.
Unexpectedly, the fish suddenly leaped out of the water.
Amidst the splashing water, the grandfather and grandson could clearly see that it was another enormous bigeye tuna.
That powerful leap had exhausted the fish's last bit of energy, and it was finally pulled onto the deck by the crane.
This tuna looked about the same size as Chen Zhiyao, or even a bit bigger, and it was somewhat intimidating.
However, the grandfather and grandson were not afraid at all, and with beaming smiles, they carried it to the weighing area.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao's clear voice rang out from the ship:
"118.6 jin, this fish is really big."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Weiqiang came running over, carrying a yellowfin tuna weighing over 100 pounds in his arms.
"Excuse me, excuse me, hurry, I can't hold on much longer."
Seeing Chen Weiqiang's disheveled appearance, the grandfather and grandson happily moved the tuna off the electronic scale, their faces showing the same schadenfreude.
Yan Shuting, following behind, kept muttering to herself:
"I told you to carry it all over together, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on being strong. Be careful not to twist your back."
Undeterred by his age, Chen Weiqiang lifted the 100-pound tuna onto the electronic scale.
"It weighs exactly 120 jin (60 catties), hahaha, this is the biggest fish I have."
Chen Zhiyao was displeased with this and immediately started comparing prices of the fish:
"But in terms of price, my bigeye tuna is more valuable."
“But this fish of mine is the biggest, weighing a full 120 jin (60 catties),” Chen Weiqiang said proudly.
"Alright, stop showing off here and hurry back to fishing. Maybe there are still some tuna left."
Grandpa Chen was unaware that the fish from earlier had all fled, as he was eager to catch a giant fish weighing over 100 pounds.
After cleaning up the tuna that had already bled dry, Chen Zhiyao turned on her X-ray glasses and leisurely strolled around the fishing boat.
There were absolutely no tuna left in the vicinity, only some small and medium-sized dark shadows in the mid-water area and countless small dark shadows in the upper water area.
She chose a spot where there were relatively many shadowy figures, hoping to attract other people to come and fish.
However, the other three were still thinking about the tuna they had just caught and refused to move, insisting on staying in the same spot to bottom fish.
Not wanting to expose the system and the X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao didn't say much.
With bait companions around, there's no way we'll come up empty-handed.
After she caught a sea bass and a tiger grouper, the three of them finally started catching fish one after another.
That's right, the things we caught were all a bit strange.
Grandpa Chen caught a large eel weighing over 6 jin (approximately 3 catties), while Chen Weiqiang caught a super-sized squid weighing over 10 jin (approximately 5 kg).
Meanwhile, the unlucky Yan Shuting caught a large sea turtle weighing over 20 kilograms.
Upon seeing this enormous creature, her expression changed; how could it be something that couldn't be sold for money?
Despite her anger, she carefully released the sea turtle back into the ocean.
Not far away, Chen Zhiyao listened to her mother's rambling and covered her mouth, secretly laughing.
This is already considered good; the big fish in the ocean have all escaped, and it's only thanks to the bait companions that we have these fish. Otherwise, these three would probably have come up empty-handed.
After waiting another hour, and seeing that there were no more tuna, the three of them finally set off to collect their fishing nets.
This place truly lives up to its name.
There were nearly 300 jin of rock bream alone, and even more 400 jin of sardines.
Besides these, there were also more than a dozen groupers weighing over 10 kilograms each and seven or eight sea bass.
I was busy fishing for tuna this morning and it took me a long time, so these fish don't look very lively.
As soon as the net was pulled up, the four men hurriedly harvested their catch.
Those that are still alive and kicking are kept in the live fish tank, while those that have already died are frozen in the freezer.
The crab traps were collected last, and the harvest was mediocre; in total, only about 10 jin (5 catties) of mud crabs and swimming crabs were collected.
These few nets of fish, along with 10 fish traps and 10 crab traps, brought the total catch to nearly 1,000 jin (500 catties).
Adding to the bigeye tuna we just caught, this trip to sea was definitely worthwhile.
