Fish in Chapter 92
Fish in Chapter 92
For example, if he wants to catch a big fish, he can place the bait directly near the big fish. It is unknown whether this targeted fishing will reduce the catch rate, but the probability of catching a big fish will definitely be much higher.
There's a saying that goes, "The bigger the fish, the more valuable it is."
This statement is not absolute, but it does have some truth to it.
For the same species of fish, it is true that the bigger the fish, the more valuable it is, but that's not always the case. However, generally speaking, catching big fish is definitely more profitable.
Thinking about this, Xiao Kai was even more excited for the upcoming sea fishing trip.
Because his casting was slightly off-center, his float was not currently illuminated by the aperture.
Seeing this, Xiao Kai skillfully controlled the aperture to move towards the float.
The effect was still remarkable; the aperture quickly covered the area of his float.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Kai noticed a rather large spot of light near where he had just thrown the ball.
This spot of light is almost seven or eight times the size of most of the surrounding spots of light.
However, Xiao Kai's float was positioned somewhat far back, about half a meter away from the light spot.
Seeing this, Xiao Kai first used a small aperture to cover the area around the float, then picked up the fishing rod and reeled in the line.
Soon, under Xiao Kai's control, the float moved to the side of the large light spot, and only then did Xiao Kai stop.
Now all that's left is to wait, although Xiao Kai doesn't know if the fish will eat it.
Just as Xiao Kai was doing all this, Xu Ning, who had been watching him closely, saw him shaking the fishing reel and thought he was about to cast again, so she said, "Fourth brother, don't rush. This is the low tide period, and the tide will recede later. The fish are already less active right now, and if you keep moving like this, they will be even less likely to bite."
Xiao Kai waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just had a feeling there might be a big fish here, so I thought I'd give it a try!"
"Alright!"
That being said, Xu Ning clearly didn't believe it.
Xiao Kai didn't explain further, his gaze still fixed on the distant Apo Float.
It has to be said that the saying "even a god can't catch fish at noon" is no joke.
Fish are especially difficult to catch at midday during low tide.
Xiao Kai originally thought that with his superpower, having already brought the bait to the fish's mouth, the fish should at least take a bite.
However, he waited for more than ten minutes, but the fish wouldn't eat a single bite.
Moreover, perhaps because of its large size, the other smaller fish nearby dared not approach.
This resulted in Xiao Kai's float not making any movement at all.
Fortunately, it didn't move its position too much.
Xiao Kai had no choice but to wait patiently.
Xiao Kai waited for half an hour, but the fish still showed no sign of biting.
Seeing this, Xiao Kai was about to drag the bait back and replace it.
Unexpectedly, just as he picked up the fishing rod and started reeling in the fish, the fish suddenly darted straight down towards the bottom of the float.
Almost instantly, Xiao Kai saw the Apo buoy on the sea surface suddenly sink and disappear on the surface of the sea.
"I've gone illegal!"
Xu Ning, who happened to turn around, also saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
Before he could say anything more, Xiao Kai had already raised his 5-meter-long rock fishing rod.
Waaaaah~
Almost instantly, the rock fishing rod in Xiao Kai's hand was pulled into a large bow.
"Damn, that's some strength! I was careless!"
Xiao Kai instantly felt a tremendous force travel through the fishing rod into his hand.
Before he could react, the immense force dragged him towards the sea.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ning exclaimed "Holy crap!" and instantly lunged at Xiao Kai.
Fortunately, Xiao Kai had already reacted by then and quickly released the brake on the unloading switch.
ding ding ding~
A loud, force-releasing sound echoed all around.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of a few fishermen who were sitting not far away, chatting and joking.
They stood up one by one, exclaiming in surprise, and ran towards Xiao Kai and the others.
The speed was so fast that it was as if walking on flat ground.
(That's an exaggeration, it's just a little faster than walking on the rocks normally!)
Soon, they arrived at Xiao Kai's place.
At this moment, the fish had already pulled Xiao Kai's fishing line for nearly a hundred meters, and was almost emptying the cup.
The sound of the engine releasing its load continued unabated, showing no sign of stopping.
Seeing this, before Xu Ning could even remind him, Xiao Kai immediately tightened the tension release mechanism.
He knew that if this continued, it would easily turn into a tug-of-war.
Without the buffer of force relief, the spool will easily break the line.
The fishing line may be small, but losing fish can be a big problem.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Kai began frantically stirring the fishing reel.
But before he could stir it a few times, the fish started swimming away again.
Its strength is truly exceptional.
Xiao Kai estimated that if this fish was a freshwater fish, it would weigh at least twenty or thirty pounds.
But he wasn't so sure about saltwater fish.
This time, because the unloading force was tighter, it was even more difficult to pull the fish up.
However, this also caused the entire fishing boat to generate high temperatures.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Xiao Kai actually saw faint wisps of smoke rising from the fishing boat.
Seeing this, Xiao Kai was both nervous and excited.
Xu Ning, who was standing to the side, was already incredibly hungry and thirsty.
If it were anyone else, he would have already taken the initiative to reel in the fish.
But perhaps considering it was Xiao Kai's first time sea fishing, he was afraid of ruining Xiao Kai's experience, so he ultimately held back.
But while he could tolerate it, others couldn't.
Watching Xiao Kai and the big fish pulling and tugging at each other, the group of fishermen who had been outfished all day were even more excited than Xiao Kai himself.
I only heard it from the fisherman surnamed Huang who had known Xu Ning before.
"Xiao Xu, your brother caught such a big fish on his first time sea fishing. I see he has no experience, so why don't I help him? It would be a shame if it got away!"
"Yes, yes, how about I do it? I have more experience catching these big fish."
"Come on, you're a perennial short-sighted guy, you think you can catch a big fish? I'm the one who's more likely to succeed."
"Get out of the way, let me handle this. You all saw the big sea wolf I caught last time, so I'm the one who has the right to speak!"
When the fisherman surnamed Huang spoke up, the others chimed in.
There was nothing they could do. Except for a very few individuals, they had been holding out for several days in a row, and now that they saw Xiao Kaizhong catch a big fish, they were green with envy.
If they weren't unfamiliar with Xiao Kai, they would have rushed over to help long ago.
"Hey, fourth brother, what do you think?"
Hearing everyone's enthusiasm, even Xu Ning was a little at a loss, and turned his gaze to Xiao Kai, who was still fighting with the big fish.
"Thanks everyone, sorry, this is my first time sea fishing. Even if this fish gets away, I still want to catch it myself!"
Upon hearing Xu Ning's voice, Xiao Kai, who was still struggling with the big fish, refused their suggestion without hesitation.
Everyone was unwilling but helpless.
After all, Xiao Kai caught the fish, so we need his permission first.
