Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Xu San is an amateur angler, so there's no issue of him being caught out.

That dark-looking bait worked really well; I caught a fish after only half an hour and three casts.

The fish was huge; the moment it was caught, the fishing rod was pulled into a terrifying arc.

Xu San felt that the force coming from his wrist was at least seventy or eighty pounds.

With that kind of force, the fish that takes the bait must weigh at least twenty or thirty pounds.

Even with a good rod, it can't withstand strong pulling; this is fishing, not a contest.

However, Xu San was only an amateur fisherman. He only knew that big fish needed to be played, but he didn't know how to play them.

Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?
In the information-saturated era of later generations, there were still many videos of expert fishermen. If you occasionally came across one and watched it once, you would at least have some impression of it.

Furthermore, he is currently on a cruise ship, and it is a cruise ship that is moving, which can provide him with some assistance.

Clips of fishing videos I'd watched before flashed through my mind.
Xu San took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Don't pull too hard...you have to let it slide...use its force against it..." Xu San muttered to himself, switching between Japanese and Chinese, giving off a sense of the disorientation and excitement of a fisherman who had just hooked a big fish.

He recalled the actions of the experts in the video: when the fish exerted force, he lowered the rod tip to provide a buffer; when the fish was exhausted, he slowly reeled in the line to guide the fish to swim.

Ok,
How to slip through the cracks, how those big shots taught him—these thoughts were now flashing through his mind.

Unfortunately, this method of hanging oneself and piercing one's ears on the spot is obviously not feasible.

He had just gotten the fishing rod and didn't know how much weight it could support.

He can only rely on his sense of touch to reel in and release the fishing rod now.

"Wow~~ Looks like a big fish!" Little Lisa, who had been standing to the side, suddenly exclaimed, "You can't do it like this!" Not knowing what to do, Xu San let out a little fishing line and asked without shame, "Then what should we do now?"

"Keep letting out the line!" Little Lisa shouted, staring at the fish in the sea. "Let them all out!"

"Hmm!" Xu San nodded, then quickly released the gear that was holding the fishing line in place.

Soon, all the fishing line, several dozen meters long, was released.

At this moment, Lisa also came closer to Xu San. She stretched out her snow-white hand, touched the fishing line, and said, "This line is good. It can withstand at least a hundred pounds of tension."

"So what should we do now?" Xu San asked, adjusting his grip on the fish based on the pressure he applied.

Xu San's intuition was still accurate; the big fish underwater was still just as it had been when it first took the bait.

The force did not diminish at all.

"You're doing well now. Find the right moment, little by little, slowly reel in the line. If you feel the fish's strength suddenly increase, then let out the line."

"Okay!" Xu San continued to obey and began to play the fish in the way Lisa did.

Lisa seemed to have a lot of experience in sea fishing. She observed the situation in the sea while instructing Xu San on his movements.

In this way, more than half an hour passed, and Xu San had basically mastered the basics of sea fishing. Now all he lacked was experience.

Xu San had no problem with the feel of the fish, and with Lisa's experience, the big fish quickly surfaced.

A while later, the big fish poked its head out of the water again.

Pointy!
Its body is perfectly streamlined, like a long, thin torpedo, covered in shimmering silver scales, its skin possibly dotted with bright blue spots. This structure is designed for extreme speed. (End of Chapter)
