The old man effortlessly lifted the thirty-plus-pound fish by its mouth with the Control Fish Tool, using just one hand. He even took a moment to adjust the Control Fish Tool so that the numbers on the display screen would be clearly visible in the photo.
All three of them took pictures, and naturally, Shi Tian couldn't miss out. This was his first sea fish, and he wanted to keep a photo as a memento! He specifically reminded Air Force One to make sure the picture looked good, as he planned to print it out and hang it at home, along with the photo of the Carp he caught last time.
"That Rodman of yours is impressive! Where did you get it? I've never seen that brand before," Air Force asked after tossing the nearly exhausted Sea Wolf into the Fish Bucket.
"That's a Commercial Secret; I can't tell you! But you can use it! I'll get you one someday!" Shi Tian replied, just as he was about to cast his line again, only to find his Rod already in Air Force's hands.
"Commercial Secret? This Rod is mine now! You can use my Rod for fishing!" Air Force said, taking Shi Tian's Rod into his arms while casually handing over the Iso Rod he had used before. Without looking back, he returned to his Fishing Spot, leaving Shi Tian silently protesting in the heat.
The moment Shi Tian picked up Air Force's Fishing Rod, he could feel its quality. Air Force had recognized the superiority of Shi Tian's Fishing Rod and knew that if Shi Tian mentioned getting him one later, it meant he had his own connections to acquire such a Rod. With that in mind, Air Force felt no guilt in taking Shi Tian's Rod!
How much could a Rod be worth? Even a custom one would only cost around ten to twenty thousand. Since Shi Tian lived in Sanya and had many days ahead of him, he could always make it up to Air Force with a gift someday!
After rigging up with Live Shrimp, Shi Tian casually cast his line into the water. To ease Shi Tian's frustration, Air Force turned around and added, "Since you're just starting with the Iso Rod, using a better Rod isn't beneficial for your skill development! This Rod has outstanding performance; it won't show its full potential in your hands. For now, practice with my Rod!"
After teasing Shi Tian, Air Force turned back to search for his Float in the sea. After searching for a while, he finally spotted Abo's shadow in the distance, which excited him.
"This Rod is amazing! A gentle flick sends it forty or fifty meters out—no wonder Shi Tian managed to catch big fish!" Air Force remarked quietly. Although Shi Tian didn't hear him, the old man nearby perked up at the mention of fishing far out.
"Can casting far really help catch big fish?" Hearing this, the old man reeled in his line and switched to another Live Shrimp. With a powerful flick, he cast farther this time—about twenty meters—but it still fell short compared to Air Force's earlier cast.
In freshwater fishing, twenty meters is considered far; however, when fishing near reefs where water stretches infinitely, that distance feels much closer!
Just as the old man debated whether to reel in and cast again, Air Force hooked a fish. Judging by the bend of his Rod, it was no small catch!
It was a ten-pound Shi Ban with several stripes on its body—visually more appealing than the Sea Wolf Shi Tian had caught earlier. Without a doubt, its price would be much higher than that of the Sea Wolf.
However, Air Force wouldn't sell this fish; he wasn't short on cash and preferred bringing it home for dinner instead.
As Air Force was unhooking the fish, the old man had already turned behind him. He grabbed Air Force's Rod and switched to another Live Shrimp before casting hard again. The splash on the surface sent waves dancing across forty or fifty meters of water as Abo bobbed up and down.
This Rod indeed cast far; unfortunately, his eyesight wasn't sharp enough to track it well but could barely see the Float! Talking to himself, the old man took this Rod seriously and began fishing earnestly.
After setting up his gear and taking photos with Shi Ye, he turned around—and found that his Rod was gone!
Staring at what had been so hard-won from Shi Tian only to have caught one fish before falling into the old man's hands left Air Force dumbfounded.
"Old man, this Rod casts far but tracking bites is a bit tough; let me use it!" Shaking his head slightly, Air Force quietly approached from behind to discuss with him.
Shi Tian knew that the advantages of this rod were not just in its design but also in the reel and even the line. Having just caught a fish with this rod, he had experienced its extraordinary qualities and naturally did not want to part with it easily. However, with the old man wielding the rod, he could only concede defeat. No matter how he tried to negotiate, the old man was unyielding; otherwise, he wouldn't have snatched so many fishing rods from him!
The rod you prepared for me was somewhat cumbersome, and the old man wasn't blind—he could see the float clearly from this distance. "Use that rod from below!" he said dismissively. The excuse about the Air Force was something the old man simply ignored. After all, he was an experienced fisherman himself; how could he not recognize a good rod? Trying to deceive him with such excuses to get his rod was an insult!
As the Air Force and the old man tussled over the rod, Shi Tian observed quietly. The rod being contested didn't bother him at all. Anyone who had used it knew it was a quality piece of equipment, which meant he didn’t have to worry about its quality or marketability anymore. Now, there were only two major obstacles left before opening his shop: funding and points.
Shi Tian wasn't particularly concerned about funding. If the Air Force liked this rod, then Shi Ye and Lu Ya would surely like it too! Not to mention the old man and his father at home; they would definitely be interested in this rod as well.
If he had enough points, he could equip them all with a set of Taiwanese fishing rods, lures, and sea fishing rods—regardless of length or flexibility—and that would nearly cover his startup costs.
Everything was in place; now he just needed points. It seemed he needed to speed up his hook distribution efforts! The catch rate in sea fishing was still too low. Among the four people here, only about ten were using his fish hooks, and with such a low catch rate, it was faster for him to draw Bai Tiao by himself.
These people would barely contribute a hundred points at most. It looked like he needed to focus more on distributing fish hooks through freshwater fishing; that’s where the catch rates were genuinely high!
While Shi Tian was strategizing his next steps, he suddenly noticed that his float had disappeared from the surface of the water. With experience under his belt now, Shi Tian lifted his rod sharply to set the hook and could clearly feel the pull transmitted through the rod—he had hooked another fish!
