Shi Tian had just caught a fish when Kang Ziyu rushed over, eager to take the Rod from him. The fish on Shi Tian's Rod was certainly larger than the one he had just caught.
"Tian Ge, you didn’t add any water while steaming the fish, did you? It looks like there’s smoke coming from the kitchen! Let me hold the Rod; you should check it out!"
If a fish weighing over ten kilograms was this much fun, then the one on Shi Tian's Rod, which must weigh at least several dozen kilograms, would surely be even more thrilling. He had to get in on this action!
Steaming fish without water? As a disciple of Yi Laotou, he shouldn’t make such a rookie mistake. Besides, induction cookers have an anti-dry burn feature; if there’s no water in the pot and the temperature gets too high, it automatically shuts off. There’s no way it could be smoking!
If Kang Ziyu wanted to play, then he would let her enjoy it. He wasn’t worried about her playing; he was more concerned that she wouldn’t get hooked!
With a relaxed grip, he let the Rod fall into Kang Ziyu's hands. He pressed his knee against the side of the boat and held onto the Rod tightly. All she had to do was let it pull until it couldn’t anymore, and then she could reel it in. After reminding Kang Ziyu, he dashed back to the kitchen to check on the fish.
After confirming everything was fine, he grabbed a belly piece and stood behind Kang Ziyu, securing himself with one arm around her waist while pulling out his phone to start recording. How could he not show off after catching such a big fish?
Ten minutes passed, and Kang Ziyu was already sweating profusely. She had only let out thirty or forty meters of line at first, but now it was over a hundred meters.
A fish this size couldn’t be reeled in by one person alone. "Take a break; I’ll help you for a bit, and then you can take over!" Without waiting for her response, Shi Tian took the Rod from Kang Ziyu’s hands, tightened the drag slightly, and after another ten minutes of fighting with the fish, it was nearly alongside the boat!
Shi Tian couldn’t help but admire Kang Ziyu; she managed to hold on for ten minutes with such a large fish. If it had been him six months ago, he probably wouldn’t have had that stamina. It seemed her daily workouts were not just for maintaining her figure.
As Shi Tian took over, Kang Ziyu removed the belly piece from her waist and slipped into the cabin to lie down on the sofa.
Fishing for big fish was indeed exhilarating but also quite exhausting. After resting for ten minutes, he would take over again; once they brought in that big fish, he needed to take a few swings with a knife to vent his excitement!
Rubbing his slender arms while watching Shi Tian lift the rod and reel in line, he quietly snapped a picture with his phone—perfect for a screensaver!
As he noticed the line spool filling up quickly, Kang Ziyu figured it was almost time for her to get back to work.
Without needing to be told, as soon as Shi Tian paused his reeling action, Kang Ziyu rushed over.
She took the Rod from him and waited for Shi Tian to tie on the belly piece before she began working again. Watching Shi Tian pull out his phone and open the camera made her ready to get back into action.
At the edge of the boat, she dragged the Stern and swung the hook up onto the platform.
The fish was onboard—a hefty ninety kilograms!
After removing the hook, she spent ten minutes taking close-ups of the fish with her phone before finally allowing Shi Tian to start cutting into it.
Steaming fish without any seasoning tasted bland; eating it plain didn’t suit Northern tastes at all.
After intense exercise, the feeling of hunger is quite unpleasant.
Before dawn, the two of them got up and set out on the boat to find Pingtou Ge. Last night, they had been planning a grand feast with Pingtou Ge, but now they would be satisfied with just a bit of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.
"Calling in, this is the Mini Light Boat. Please respond!"
