"Don't rush to reel in; let the fish exert itself first. Wait until the first burst of energy is over before you start reeling!"
After saying this, Shi Chui glanced at Shi Tian's rod resting on the side. Had he hooked a fish? He lifted the rod, allowing the fish to tire itself out a bit before slowly reeling it in. First, he put on his cut-resistant gloves.
In the past couple of days, he had witnessed how rough these people on the boat were when reeling in. They would push the electric reel while pulling on the line with their hands, and the whole process could be summed up in four words: simple and brutal!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xia Shou frantically trying to help Kong Yunfei. A smirk appeared on Shi Chui's lips; he would give them a demonstration first!
This demonstration was not exactly a good one. Their rod was sturdy, and reeling it in with force wasn’t an issue. Kong Yunfei’s rod, however, had been brought from a yacht and looked like an ordinary piece of equipment; it definitely wouldn’t withstand such rough handling!
With his gloves on, he loosened the drag by two notches, wrapped one arm around the rod, and pushed the electric reel to start reeling in. Not moving? Simple—he lifted the rod and with his gloved right hand directly pulled on the line! The motion left Kong Yunfei dumbfounded.
Trying to mimic Shi Chui's actions, Kong Yunfei held onto his rod with one hand while pulling on the line with the other. Unfortunately, without gloves, he couldn’t pull at all!
As Shi Chui steadily reeled in line bit by bit, Kong Yunfei started to feel anxious. He tightened the drag another notch; even the sound of the electric reel changed.
"Hey, take it easy! Loosen up a bit on that drag! Your electric motor can’t handle it!" Shi Tian called out as he emerged from the cabin and saw Kong Yunfei struggling with the fish.
"What kind of rod is that? You’re going to burn out your electric motor doing that!"
"Xiao Tian, just in time! Do you have any gloves? Give me a pair!" Kong Yunfei quickly shouted when he saw Shi Tian come out.
Of course, there were gloves available. Since Kong Yunfei wanted to battle with the fish on his rod, Shi Tian couldn’t just stop him! He handed a pair of gloves to Kong Yunfei and stepped between them. With a hose in hand, he sprayed water here and there to see who had more strength.
With Shi Tian helping on this side, the other three didn’t bother coming over to assist anymore.
In that brief moment, Zao Kou seized the precious time to hook a fish—it was what mattered most!
Shi Chui had dragged his fish close to the boat when Shi Tian quickly leaned out with a gaff and expertly hooked it. With a strong pull, a tuna weighing over ten pounds was brought aboard.
Once the fish was on deck, Kong Yunfei felt anxious again. He had observed Shi Chui’s rod earlier; its power was no less than his own. Now that Shi Chui had landed a fish, he still had nearly forty meters left!
Unconsciously tightening his drag again, he lifted his rod with one hand while reeling in with the other—his arms were nearly numb from exertion.
What had Shi Chui eaten growing up? He effortlessly pulled such a large fish aboard without breaking a sweat!
After placing down the gaff, he turned back to Kong Yunfei's side and sprayed water again. A cloud of mist rose up! Goodness gracious, was that electric motor overheating or was it just burning out?
With a swift lift of the rod and a quick tug, Kong Yunfei stumbled as the fish slipped away, unhooked!
"Oh no!" This exclamation escaped his lips instinctively.
The members of the Mini Air Force paused for a moment, only to hear Man Cang Hao on the other side strike up a familiar tune! The Mini Air Force hadn’t caught a single fish in the past few days, but every time Man Cang Hao reeled one in, he would always add some background music to set the mood.
Now that they finally had a chance, they weren’t going to let it slip by! They glanced at the gleeful faces of Man Cang Hao’s group and then back at Kong Yunfei, who was still in a daze.
“Oh, I got one!” Sun Lang exclaimed without hesitation. He lifted his rod high, and indeed, he had hooked a fish! This left everyone on the boat feeling a bit exasperated.
“Fly Brother, hurry and reel it in to check! It’s probably cut off!” Shi Tian coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.
Upon hearing Shi Tian's words, Kong Yunfei finally snapped back to reality. As he reeled in the line, he found that there was still plenty of bait on it.
“Wait, the hook is straightened!” Shi Tian glanced at Kong Yunfei’s fishing set and rubbed his nose as he spoke.
A straightened hook was a common occurrence. Whether fishing in freshwater or sea fishing, it could happen.
Once they heard that the hook was straightened, Wang Ergou and the others lost interest and decided to focus on their own rods instead.
“Fly Brother, let me get you a new fishing set! Since the fish are biting now, let’s get those hooks back in!”
“What kind of fish is this? It managed to straighten out the hook!” After saying this, Shi Tian turned around to grab two fishing sets—one for Kong Yunfei and one for himself.
Shi Chui had been quite aggressive earlier; who knew if he had damaged his hook? It was safer to replace the entire fishing set just in case.
While switching out the fishing sets, Kong Yunfei kept an eye on Sun Lang's actions. He had never fished for tuna before and lacked experience. During this run, he felt that Shi Chui’s instructions were somewhat unconventional; perhaps this guy was also inexperienced! If only he had listened to Shi Tian and loosened the drag a bit!
However, watching Sun Lang operate made Kong Yunfei think that maybe Shi Chui was being too conservative. Sun Lang was wild—a wilder fisherman than Shi Chui! Had he misjudged Shi Chui?
Once the line was changed and baited up again, Kong Yunfei cast his rod and glanced back at Shi Tian, who was busy bleeding and acidifying the catch. He felt a twinge of envy towards Shi Chui.
