36: The whole ship is talking wildly

After about a minute, the 400-plus-pound Tuna pulled the line for two to three hundred meters.

Yang Qi locked the brake and began the first round of fighting the fish. In the image, the fleeing Tuna was pulled off balance, "Ouch~ Damn, that hurts!"

Yang Qi squatted into a horse stance, leaned back, raised his rod to pull the fish, bent down to reel, then raised the rod again.

Professional-grade Tuna rods were truly powerful, and the pulley system on the rod tip worked wonderfully! It almost saved 1/3 of the effort.

Even so, the 400-plus-pound Tuna's strength was still immense.

Yang Qi's forehead veins bulged, and sweat continuously rolled down. The Tuna was not to be outdone, suddenly exerting force, and the fishing line was pulled taut, making a "buzzing" sound.

"Holy crap!" Just as Yang Qi felt his strength was about to give out, the Tuna suddenly flicked its tail, trying to break free from the hook.

Yang Qi loosened the brake with the momentum, allowing the Tuna to swim out a bit further, exhausting its strength.

The second round of fighting the fish began, and Yang Qi locked the brake again, increasing his effort to pull the fish.

He shouted, "Come here, you!"

The Tuna seemed to sense danger and began to struggle wildly, stirring up huge ripples in the surrounding seawater.

Yang Qi gritted his teeth, holding the fishing rod tightly, refusing to give an inch.

"When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I advance!"

After several rounds of struggle, the Tuna's strength gradually ran out. It was slowly pulled closer to the fishing boat, and its massive silhouette appeared before their eyes.

Wang Jinxi, who had been waiting for a long time, aimed his gaff hook at the fish's head and threw it fiercely.

"Whoosh~" "Pfft~"

The gaff hook deeply pierced the fish's head, and the Tuna struggled, shaking its head, trying to dislodge the hook.

But it was useless; the barb was firmly hooked into the bone, so how could it be shaken out?

It was merely a death struggle. Wang Jinxi got a rope and looped it around the Tuna's huge scythe-like tail.

Using the crane, the giant Tuna was hoisted onto the deck.

Such a large Yellowfin Tuna without a group photo would be a bit unacceptable, wouldn't it? Everyone took another round of photos.

Then, they promptly cut it open, bled it, removed acid, and tied it with straps.

The familiar routine, the familiar formula.

This fish was too big, and the other crewmen were also busy, so Yang Qi and Wang Jinxi pushed it to the freezer with a cart.

When they returned, they just happened to hear someone shout:

"I hooked a monster! Hahahaha!"

Wuwuwu... Gaa zhi... Gaa zhi...

"Pa da!"

It turned out that a fellow angler on the aft deck had hooked a fish, and his fishing rod was bent into a large arc. He shouted excitedly.

But before he could cheer for a few seconds, the fishing rod suddenly broke into two pieces, and at the same time, the fishing line snapped.

The angler was dumbfounded, paused for a moment, and then cursed loudly:

"Holy crap, my 8800 rod! Didn't they say it could catch a 500-pound fish? I..."

"Oh, ho~, hahahaha,..."

"That's what you get for showing off, now look, your rod broke!"

A few anglers nearby pursed their lips, holding back their laughter, but looking at their upturned mouths, they were probably about to burst.

"Hahahaha..." Finally, someone couldn't hold it in anymore.

I usually don't laugh, unless I can't help it.

"Hahahaha..."

Several people burst into laughter.

One rod breaks, everyone rejoices. Salting the wound, anglers love it most.

"Laugh at your sister! My rod couldn't land it, and yours won't be much different!"

The angler who broke his rod grumbled as he set up his spare rod, "If you've got the guts, break this rod too. Bring on the big fish, no small ones."

Everyone on the boat was catching fish; those with insufficient power in their electric reels put on gloves and manually helped pull the line. Those with hand reels would reel for a bit and then stop for a while.

The busiest were the crewmen, who had to help net fish everywhere, help process them, and then send them to the freezer.

Before they could even catch their breath, someone else called for help.

It made Yang Qi think of those people in movies who carried ammunition in trenches, running back and forth to deliver it.

He suddenly felt that two hundred yuan as a tip from each angler to the crewmen was not too much.

When Yang Qi returned to his fishing spot, he used his ability to look underwater.

"Damn it! Why are there so many sharks? It might be the Tuna's blood attracting them."

Then there's no need to cast the rod!

Actually, there were still quite a few bottom fish, but sharks in the mid-water would snatch the bait thrown down. It wouldn't even reach the bottom.

He turned and saw Zhang Jun had just caught a Yellowfin Tuna weighing over 40 pounds, and Wang Jinxi was just bleeding the fish.

He walked over to Zhang Jun, pulled out a cigarette, and lit one for both of them.

"Brother Jun, not bad, huh?"

"Not bad, not bad, caught another one, but it's only over 40 pounds! There should be bigger ones down there."

Yang Qi quickly said, "Don't rush, Brother Jun, let's smoke a few cigarettes and rest for a while."

"Alright then! Let's sit for a bit!"

Suddenly, Yang Qi mischievously said, "How about we go see how everyone else is doing?"

"Alright, let's go!" Zhang Jun looked at Yang Qi and said.

"Gaa zhi, wuwuwu!"

"Pa~"

As soon as the two walked to the front deck, they heard someone's rod break.

"Damn it!" The angler grumbled as he cleaned up the mess on his rod holder.

As a result, they hadn't even completed one round when three more anglers had their rods break.

Now everyone was stunned, had so many super monsters come underwater?

"Captain, I want to rent a high-power boat fishing rod."

"This... this is quite expensive!..." The captain also looked a bit confused, saying with some embarrassment.

"If the rod breaks, I'll pay!"

"Alright then! But you still need to be careful! There are Tuna down there, and there are definitely sharks too."

The boat offered rod rentals, a full set of rod and electric reel cost 600-800 yuan. If it was really damaged, it would be compensated at a depreciated value!

"What should we do?" Zhang Jun asked after the two had walked around and returned.

"So many Tuna were caught just now, and so much blood was shed. I estimate a shark school has arrived below. It'll be hard to fish!"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, we'll rest for a while and then see!" Zhang Jun was quite convinced by Yang Qi in terms of fishing now.

"Later, everyone will go to eat, and no one will be feeding, so the sharks should disperse."

The two chatted, smoked, and slowly recovered their physical strength.

"Breakfast is ready, come and eat!" The captain's voice came over the loudspeaker.

"Let's go! Yang Qi! The chef on this boat makes excellent fish porridge. This morning's fish porridge has Grouper that I provided."

Zhang Jun called Yang Qi and walked towards the lounge.

The anglers had fought all night and were already starving, but because the fishing was good, fish were constantly biting, so they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Now, hearing that they could eat, they suddenly deflated and could no longer hold on.

Except for a few people who were currently battling big fish, everyone else ran off to eat.

Yang Qi had also seen that the three people who were still fighting had hooked sharks. But since they hadn't brought them to the surface, those few definitely didn't know what kind of fish they were.
