After talking about the great white shark they had just encountered, Chen Zhiyao asked about their fishing trip that afternoon.
"How's the fishing this afternoon? Did you catch any tuna?"
When the topic of fishing came up, Yan Shuting's face immediately fell, and she sighed as she said:
"Sigh, don't even mention it. This is the worst fishing I've ever had since I started fishing with you guys."
"After fishing for two hours, the biggest fish I caught was a barracuda weighing about 6 pounds. The rest were mostly small fish weighing one or two pounds."
Yan Shuting waited here for half a day, but she didn't see any tuna, let alone the most common barracuda and sea bass.
Later, they simply used a hand-thrown net to catch fish, but the situation was still not optimistic. After catching fish for a long time, they only managed to catch half a bucket of small miscellaneous fish.
Grandpa Chen, standing to the side, said calmly:
"I was wondering why the fishing was so bad today. It seems the sharks down below scared all the fish away."
The other three nodded in agreement. With that giant shark down there, what fish would dare to stay nearby?
Realizing there were no fish around, Chen Zhiyao went to the driver's seat and steered the fishing boat around on the vast sea.
After the worst comes the best, and good fortune will turn.
Just moments ago, Chen Zhiyao had the misfortune of encountering a great white shark, but then her luck turned around, and soon she ran into a group of large creatures.
The fish found on the fish finder looked very familiar; each one was plump and round, and many of them looked like they weighed over 100 pounds.
Chen Zhiyao's eyes widened, and she immediately slapped her thigh excitedly and shouted:
"Aren't these the bigeye tuna from this morning? I didn't expect to see them so soon. Quick, grab your gear, let's go tuna fishing."
She didn't even need to remind them where they were; the other three were running much faster than her.
Especially Grandpa Chen, the oldest among them, his skills and speed are far superior to hers, a young woman.
Chen Zhiyao, who was running at the very back, looked at the three of them with their agile figures and felt ashamed of herself.
The fish finder can pinpoint the exact location of a school of fish, and the four people lined up in a row, all squeezed onto the left side of the fishing boat.
From left to right: Grandpa Chen, Chen Weiqiang, Yan Shuting, and Chen Zhiyao.
The shrimp we raise at home aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap. Everyone's carrying enormous squid to fish for tuna.
Fearing it wouldn't be enough, Chen Zhiyao even hung two large squids on the fishing hook.
There were already schools of fish below, and with the help of the bait and the lucky fishing rod, all four of them caught fish in less than two minutes.
Unsurprisingly, Chen Zhiyao was the first to get a big fish on the hook.
The fishing rod in my hand suddenly sank, followed by an unprecedentedly strong pulling force.
The intense pull caused Chen Zhiyao to immediately double her strength and increase the drag on the fishing rod.
Then she carefully felt the movements and strength of the fish below.
Based on the sheer force of the pull, she could almost conclude that this was a tuna even larger than the bigeye tuna she had caught that morning.
I just caught bigeye tuna this morning, and this school of fish is almost the same size and shape.
Chen Zhiyao subconsciously assumed that this was also a bigeye tuna weighing over 100 pounds.
The tuna below was enraged by the sting of the hook and swam frantically.
"Whoosh~"
The fishing line was taut and made a beautiful cutting sound as it sliced through the water.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
At the same time, the reel on the fishing rod was being pulled and making a squeaking sound.
The two sounds kept stimulating Chen Zhiyao's brain nerves, and she was caught in a feeling of excitement and intoxication.
Feeling the strong pull from the fishing rod in her hand, she felt her blood boil and fly.
This tuna is truly something else; swishing it around is incredibly tense and exciting.
Not only Chen Zhiyao, but the three people next to her were already cheering with joy.
If these fish hadn't already taken the bait, they probably would have been scared away.
Everyone was busy playing the fish, and Chen Zhiyao had no help, so she could only adjust the drag of the fishing rod to the maximum.
Then, using every trick in the book, he employed all the techniques he knew for playing fish, slowly wearing down the big guy's stamina.
There was nothing I could do; this tuna probably weighed over 120 pounds, which was 30 pounds more than me.
Despite having doubled her strength, Chen Zhiyao still found it somewhat difficult to reel in a fish.
The muscles in his hands tightened even more, and his facial expressions became increasingly erratic.
At this moment, the big guy in the sea suddenly accelerated, the reel spun even faster, and another seven or eight meters of line shot out.
After persisting for 30 minutes, Chen Zhiyao was a little tired and felt like she could barely lift her arms.
I couldn't help but wonder to myself, what does this sea fish eat to grow up like this? How can it be so strong?
A few minutes later, Chen Zhiyao heard her father's laughter:
"Haha, it's a bluefin tuna! I caught a bluefin tuna!"
Chen Zhiyao turned her head and saw her father pulling a bluefin tuna weighing sixty or seventy pounds onto the deck.
At this moment, everyone except Chen Weiqiang wore an expression that was both envious and jealous.
In less than a minute, the three of them were overjoyed.
Tuna usually appear in groups. Since I caught a bluefin tuna, does that mean that all the ones below are also bluefin tuna?
Although they are all tuna, bluefin tuna is twice as expensive as the other types.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the bluefin tuna Chen Weiqiang just caught only weighed 60 or 70 pounds; it was more expensive than the 120-pound yellowfin tuna he caught that morning.
Ever since the crew saw the bluefin tuna, they've been energized and full of enthusiasm.
Chen Zhiyao, who already had pain in her arms, back, and legs, was almost at her breaking point.
Now that I've seen this bluefin tuna, which smells like money, I'm instantly refreshed.
The fish she caught must have weighed over 120 pounds. If it was also a bluefin tuna, it could have sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Chen Zhiyao struggled with the tuna in the water for several more minutes, finally exhausting most of its strength.
At this point, the reel is almost completely off the ground, making it the perfect time to reel in the line.
Taking advantage of the guy's fatigue, Chen Zhiyao immediately and frantically reeled in the line. Sparks were practically flying from the reel handle in her hand.
However, human physical strength is ultimately limited.
She had only reeled in about a third of the fishing line when she felt the reel handle getting heavier and heavier, and the reeling speed gradually slowed down.
With the fishing line's tension reduced and its stamina returning somewhat, the tuna resumed its monster-catching activities.
The creature quickly swam in the opposite direction, and whether its mouth was still hurting or not was insignificant compared to its life.
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to be exhausted, Chen Weiqiang finally finished processing the tuna and rushed over.
