The ending of Chapter 208 can't be revealed too soon.
Upon seeing a giant blue grouper measuring a meter in length, Yu Muzhou was immediately overjoyed.
"Haha, it's a grouper, and such a rare, huge blue grouper at that!"
He didn't ask Zhou Miao for luck today, thinking he had personally caught a giant grouper that was over a meter long, and he couldn't be more satisfied.
"Amazing! Zhou-ge, you take a rest, leave the rest to me."
Zhou Miao naturally wouldn't spoil the fun at this time, so he let him think that he was the one who caught the fish!
"Great, the fish are biting really well today. Catch a few more and you'll easily take the championship."
Yu Muzhou patted Zhou Miao on the shoulder, then waved his hand at the drone, signaling it to stop filming.
The championship is definitely in the bag today, so I must keep the spotlight for myself and not let Zhou Miao steal my thunder.
Zhou Miao glanced at the drone that was moving away, seemingly unconcerned.
As long as he has enough points, he doesn't have to hand over any extra fish he catches. He can sell them to Pang Hao at a high price after the event, or even keep one to take back to the fishing raft, dismantle it, and sell it to tourists.
The fish caught by the players in the past few days will be exchanged for points and then purchased by the club at wholesale prices.
One task was to supervise the contestants to prevent cheating, and the other was to gradually become a seafood supplier.
In order to increase the club's revenue, Yu Muzhou has decided to set up a branch and start a seafood business.
However, the club's focus is on imported seafood, and it will only purchase some high-value seafood locally, taking a premium approach.
However, it started as a small-scale experiment, and whether it can grow and expand depends on the future development of Nanzhen.
As soon as Zhou Miao threw the jig into the water and it sank to the bottom, he turned off the spool and a decent pulling force came through.
What was a great strength to Yu Muzhou was nothing special in front of him.
With the rod resting on his belt, Zhou Miao forcefully lifted the fishing rod, and after a few rounds, he pulled the grouper from the bottom of the water to an open area in the middle of the water column.
Then he slowed down and began to slowly reel in the fish.
One reason is that there is enough time, and another is that it is easier to lift the fish onto the boat once it is completely exhausted.
A dozen minutes later, another large blue swarm, about a meter long, appeared on the surface of the water.
It was almost the same size as Yu Muzhou's, but he fished for it for a full half hour and was exhausted.
Zhou Miao, on the other hand, completed the task with ease, and his time was almost halved, making the difference obvious.
This is also why Yu Muzhou told the drone to leave quickly, otherwise his highlight video would have turned into an embarrassing one.
Wang Yong hooked the fish with a hook, and Zhou Miao helped lift the fish onto the deck. Then, they took a white cable tie, tied the fish's tail, and threw the fish into the live fish hold.
A one-meter-long grouper can still be kept alive for a short time, since the water here is not deep and the water pressure has little effect on the fish.
Yu Muzhou was already preparing lunch. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he could fight another round later.
Then, before midnight, Zhou Miao caught three more grouper that were about a meter long, all of which were green-spotted.
Just then, Yu Muzhou had finished eating and resting, so they took turns letting him eat first.
Wang Yong also joined in the meal, knowing that Yu Muzhou wasn't serving fish very quickly, and that this would give him enough time to finish his lunch.
However, Zhou Miao forgot something as he sat down to eat.
That means without his help, the fish wouldn't bite at all!
"Ah Miao, are there no fish left? It's been more than ten minutes and there's still no bite." Yu Muzhou put down his fishing rod, shook his aching arm, picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and said.
"That can't be right. I checked with a fish finder this morning."
There are more than five large fish in the water.
Zhou Miao put down her chopsticks and came to Yu Muzhou's side: "Try again."
"Let's try again." Yu Muzhou felt his arm was less sore, so he picked up the fishing rod, cast out the bait, and continued to tap the bottom.
At an angle he wasn't looking at, a hand touched the fishing rod again.
Just then, the rod suddenly sank and then slipped out of my hand.
Fortunately, Yu Muzhou learned his lesson and knew to tie a safety rope, which prevented the fishing rod from being pulled away.
This time, Zhou Miao didn't help grab the fishing rod mainly because he saw the safety rope and didn't need his help.
"Wow, why are these fish taking the bait so suddenly?"
Yu Muzhou was startled and quickly reached out to grab the fishing rod, forcibly pulling it back.
Seeing that he was struggling to lift the fishing rod, Zhou Miao helped him lift it with one hand.
"Looks like another top-quality item. Good luck, Zhou Ge."
"Haha, of course! You go back to eating!"
Yu Muzhou had a very difficult time catching the fish this time. Every time he looked like he was about to give up, he always ended up winning.
The quality of the grouper has also changed; it used to be a green grouper, but now it has become a tiger grouper.
After Zhou Miao took over, he thought he would catch four more tiger groupers, but after catching only two, a force much stronger than before suddenly struck him.
This time, even he was caught off guard, and his body was pulled forward.
"What's going on?"
Yu Muzhou was smoking next to him, watching him fish up close.
It's like when someone is playing a game and someone is watching you; you can watch with great interest.
"An extra-large one arrived!"
Zhou Miao originally thought there were only ten giant groupers about a meter long at the bottom of the water. He caught five green groupers in the morning and noon, so he thought he should catch five tiger groupers in the afternoon.
But this force told him that the fish at the bottom of the water had changed.
Judging by that strength, it must be either a giant grouper or a seven-banded grouper; these are the only two types of large groupers in the East China Sea.
"Tsk tsk, who can compete with us now? Even if we had zero wins in the first four days, today's results are enough to win us the championship." Yu Muzhou shook his head.
He knew that if Zhou Miao was brought along, the fishing competition would most likely have already ended prematurely.
But he still called people over, after all, he had a great time fishing and had quite a few highlights.
At least in the players' hearts, he is the backbone of Team No. 88.
Yu Muzhou can remain calm and composed about many things, but fishing is an exception.
He becomes exceptionally childish when it comes to fishing.
This aspect is unlikely to change; when I get old, I'll just be a child again.
The 1.5-meter-long, approximately 160-pound seven-banded grouper only caused Zhou Miao a little trouble, making his fishing time take a little longer.
As he gasped for breath, the fish had already run out of energy and was forced to surface.
But one fish after another, the second fish was almost the same size as the first, and even Zhou Miao felt tired.
Fortunately, grouper are known for their strong initial burst of power, but once they get tired and need to rest, they completely lose their ability to fight back.
After successfully catching two giant groupers that were 1.5 meters long, Zhou Miao threw the bait back into the water. After a few minutes, when he was sure there were no more fish, he discussed with Yu Muzhou about returning to port early.
However, just as the ship approached the dock, Yu Muzhou suddenly called for a halt.
Facing the questioning looks from Zhou Miao and Wang Yong, he pointed to the two large fish lying on his nails: "As long as we don't participate in this competition, there will always be suspense. We can't let people know the outcome too early."
Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
