Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1078: Zhao Dahai is right?
"This fish is about 200 meters away. If you add the 100 meters it ran, it is now almost 300 meters away. It is very difficult to control it at such a long distance on the sea. In addition, there is water flow, which makes it even more difficult to control. You never know when some loose fish will easily escape."

Zhao Dahai knew that this fish was large and strong. Under normal circumstances, he could let the fish continue to pull the line and run forward for a distance to consume its energy before pulling the fish in. However, the fish was already 300 meters away from the fishing boat, and there was no such strong current on the sea. If the wind was so strong, there would not be much of a problem. But now the current was strong and the wind was strong. If the fish continued to run like this, as soon as the fishing line loosened, the fish might escape.

Ding Chongshan was shocked. What Zhao Dahai said was right. The farther the fish runs, the better. If it runs too far, in such strong winds and waves, the fishing line will easily loosen and the fish will most likely escape.

Ding Chongshan reached out to pick up the pole.

Zhao Dahai stopped it as soon as he saw it, and pushed the belly of the fish in his hand against Ding Chongshan's waist. The fish was quite big, and coupled with the speed of the water, the pulling force was very strong. Ding Chongshan could not withstand the pulling force with his hands alone, and had to use his belly to push.

"Uncle Ding!"

"Check if the top of the belly is already stuck!"

……

"Hold the pole with both hands!"

"Let me help you."

……

Zhao Dahai waited for Ding Chongshan to check and confirm that there was no problem with the belly top. He held the pole with both hands and helped, and then smoothly supported it on the belly top.

Ding Chongshan's face suddenly turned red, and he felt a huge pulling force in his hands holding the fishing rod. It seemed that what he was pulling was not a fish, but a tractor.

“Is there really such a strong pulling force?”

"Ding Chongshan."

"I think you are pretending! This fish is not that big!"

Lin Zuhua didn't believe at all that the fish Ding Chongshan caught was so big.

Ding Chongshan glared and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but his lips trembled twice and the tension on his hands was too great, so he couldn't open his mouth.

"Boss Lin."

"This fish is really big. It's definitely not worth 70 or 80 kilograms. It might be around 100 kilograms."

"This might be a giant mackerel!"

Zhao Dahai smiled.

Ding Chongshan was really not pretending. The fish he caught was really big, and it was very likely a rare mackerel weighing over 100 kilograms.

"No way?"

“Is it really from a giant mackerel?”

Lin Zuhua's eyes widened suddenly. Everyone who goes fishing at sea knows that the pulling force of mackerel is very strong. The key is that this kind of giant mackerel weighing 100 to 80 kilograms is very rare nowadays. If you can catch one, you can brag about it for the rest of your life.

"Correct!"

"This one is very likely to be a giant mackerel. I caught one before and the pulling force was very similar."

Zhao Dahai nodded. He had caught a large mackerel weighing more than 100 kilograms before, and it looked very similar to Ding when he put his hand on the rod just now.

Other fish are not so rare. You may be able to catch tuna weighing over 100 kilograms, or even 200 or 300 kilograms. However, a giant tuna of this size is really rare.

Ding Chongshan's luck was really good, and it was very likely that he caught a mackerel of similar size.

"What the hell!"

"This is really a stroke of luck! I encountered a big mackerel."

Lin Zuhua was very envious.

"Uncle Ding!"

"Do not worry."

"Take it easy!"

Zhao Dahai saw that Ding Chongshan seemed a little unsteady, so he reached out to help him. There was wind and waves at the moment, so the fishing boat didn't rise and fall much, but it was not that stable after all. In addition, the fish was really big and the pulling force was really strong. Although Ding Congshan had rich fishing experience, he rarely went out to sea to fish in recent years and was not used to the current situation. If he didn't help, he might not be able to catch this fish.

Ding Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief, and with the help of Zhao Dahai, he immediately stood firmly on his feet.

"Hold the spinning wheel with both hands in front of the wheel. Don't rush to reel in the fish. Just hold the line tight as long as it is not loose."

……

"Boss Lin."

"Put the other pole away first, or the lines won't get tangled."

……

"Hold the pole firmly with your right hand!"

……

"Correct!"

"Now we can start preparing to reel in the fish."

……

"Watch your timing! Put the pole down, then retract it immediately, then grab the pole with both hands and pull it back."

……

Lin Zuhua stood by and watched Zhao Dahai, reminding Ding Chongshan step by step. He admired him very much. A good boat or a person with rich fishing experience like Zhao Dahai was really important when he and Ding Chongshan caught a big fish. To be fair, no matter he or Ding Chongshan caught a big fish weighing 180 kilograms, it was difficult to pull it back to the side of the fishing boat by their own ability. One reason was that they were not strong enough. When the big fish exerted force, they could not stand steadily on the fishing boat. People who had never fished had no idea how amazing the pulling force of such a big fish was. In addition, whether there was wind or not, the fishing boat would be ups and downs on the sea. It was very difficult to stand steady. However, if someone was watching and supporting from time to time, there would be no problem. Another important thing was that the timing was not particularly accurate. When it was time to reel in the fish, it was not reeled in. When it was time to tighten the line and not pull the fish, it pulled the fish instead. Don't underestimate the timing. When you are fishing for small fish, this is not too important or prominent, but when you are fishing for big fish weighing dozens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms, it is very important. This is the key to whether the fish can be caught. If you don't grasp it well, the fish's energy has not been exhausted, but your own energy has been exhausted first, and nothing you say will be of any use.

"Release the rod!"

"Reel in!"

……

"Release the rod!"

"Turn the spinning wheel three times to reel in the line."

……

Zhao Dahai was a little nervous at the beginning. If he had the rod in his hand, there would be no problem and he could easily deal with the fish. But now it was Ding Chongshan who was fishing and the fish might get away if he was not careful. Ding Chongshan had never caught such a big fish before and now he finally had the chance. If the fish got off the hook and ran away, he might never have another chance in his life.

Zhao Dahai didn’t care much about such a fish. Even if he caught it, he could just sell it to make some money. But this was very important to Ding Chongshan.

"This fish has almost used up all its energy! It's basically fine now."

Zhao Shi walked over and took a look at the rod in Ding Chongshan's hand.

"what!"

"Boss Ding."

"The fish is only about 50 to 60 meters away from the fishing boat. You have to grit your teeth and not ask for help, or you won't be able to catch the fish by yourself!"

Zhong Shizhu looked at a position about fifty or sixty meters above the sea surface and could definitely see the waves caused by the fish swimming.

Whether it is himself, Lei Dayou, Liu Bin, or Zhao Dahai, they go fishing at sea just to make money. If they encounter a big fish that they cannot deal with alone, they will definitely have to ask others for help.

Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua go fishing at sea not for the purpose of making money, but they care more about catching big fish, and catching big fish by themselves.

Ding Chongshan was panting, his old face was red, his clothes were already soaked, and he had consumed a lot of energy.

Zhong Shizhu quickly reminded him that he must persevere, because once the fish passes through someone else's hands, it is no longer caught by one person.

Ding Chongshan was breathing heavily like a bellows, his hands were a little weak and he didn't have much strength. He felt that the rod might fly out of his hands at any time. He couldn't hold on any longer and almost called Zhao Dahai or Lin Zuhua for help.

Zhong Shizhu gritted his teeth and insisted after hearing what he said. He had never caught such a big mackerel before, and he could only brag about it if he caught it alone.

"Uncle Ding!"

"Not in a hurry!"

……

"Uncle Shizhu is right. The fish is already about fifty meters away. It won't take long to pull it back!"

"Just grit your teeth and hold on!"

……

“Take a deep breath!”

……

Zhao Dahai reminded loudly that there was no need to be anxious and just reel in the fish slowly.

"big!"

“This fish is really big!”

……

"It must be more than a hundred pounds!"

……

"One hundred and thirty pounds!"

……

Lin Zuhua lowered his head and looked at the big fish that had been pulled to less than ten meters away from the fishing boat. He could see it very clearly under the light. It was only one and a half meters away. What Zhao Dahai said was right. It was a mackerel.

"What the hell!"

“Luckily, it was a wire cutter used for releasing fish, otherwise the fish would have escaped long ago!”

Lin Zuhua was very relieved when he saw the big fish. He was releasing the fish with the intention of catching a big fish, so he used wire cutters to lead the fish directly. Otherwise, the mackerel would have bitten the line and ran away with its sharp teeth.

"Zhongshizhu!"

"Big hook!"

"Liu Bin!"

"Go get another one!"

Zhao Shi saw that the mackerel was only five or six meters away from the fishing boat, and shouted loudly to Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin to get the big iron hook immediately.

If Zhao Dahai had caught this fish, or if Zhong Shizhu and the others had caught this fish, they would definitely have used a large scoop net so as not to injure the fish and fail to sell it at a good price.

The one who is fishing now is Ding Chongshan. He does not have enough physical strength from the project and when the fish is pulled to the side of the fishing boat, he is already panting and almost exhausted. There is no way but to control the fish for a long time.

The safest way is definitely to use a big iron hook.

Whether the fish can be loaded onto the fishing boat is more important than whether the fish can be sold for money.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin immediately took a large iron hook each, walked to the side of the fishing boat, found the right position, and made preparations.

"Zhongshizhu!"

"Liu Bin!"

"You two choose your own drivers. Once you think you can catch a fish, just start. No need to worry about who starts first or who starts later!"

Zhao Dahai reminded Liu Bin and Zhong Shizhu that it didn't matter who would make the move and who wouldn't, as long as they felt they could hook the fish, they could just make the move.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin nodded without saying anything else. They kept looking down at the huge mackerel that was pulled to the side of the fishing boat on the sea. When the time was right, they extended two iron hooks at the same time and hooked the fish's head and tail one after the other.

"Loosen the line!"

Zhao Dahai saw that Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin had hooked the fish, and shouted loudly to remind Ding Chongshan to open the spool and let out the line.

Ding Chongshan opened the line and let out the line. Unable to hold on any longer, he sat down on the deck, gasping for breath.

Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin worked together and used two iron hooks to drag the fish onto the deck.

"what!"

"Boss Ding."

"This fish is enough for you to brag about for ten years!"

Lei Dayou and I were very surprised when we saw the mackerel that Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin pulled onto the fishing boat. We had never seen such a big mackerel in all our life when we went fishing at sea. It was more than 1.8 meters long, and very fat and round.

Not to mention the fishermen, even if people who set out fishing nets could catch such a big fish, it would cause a sensation when they return to the dock.

"What the hell!"

"Why wasn't there anyone who was the first to let go when I heard Zhao Dahai say that he wanted to continue letting go?"

"If I'm the first one to find it, the fish will be mine!"

Lin Zuhua looked at the huge mackerel lying on the deck, feeling extremely envious and even more regretful.

Zhao Dahai told himself and Ding Chongshan that the reason they didn't catch any fish was most likely because they didn't let the line out far enough.

When Ding Chongshan heard this, he immediately stood up and ran to cast the line. When it was two hundred meters long, a fish took the bait.

"Hahaha!"

"Lin Zuhua!"

"It's too late for you to say anything now!"

"Last year, you went fishing with Zhao Dahai and caught a big fish. Every time you went fishing, you came to me to show off."

"Now let me see what you can do?!"

Ding Chongshan rested for a while, then stood up with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, but feeling extremely proud.

Lin Zuhua let out a long sigh. He really had no temper at all about this matter.

Among fishermen, whoever catches the fish is considered the best, and whoever catches the big fish is even better.

Ding Chongshan has caught a fish now, and it is a big fish that is over 1.8 meters long.

"Ugh!"

"The more I think about this, the more I regret it. Why wasn't I the first one to let go?"

Lin Zuhua slapped his thigh hard.

When Ding Chongshan was casting the line just now, he was still thinking if it was really so magical that as long as he cast it a little further, a fish would bite the hook. Now he saw that not only was there a fish biting the hook, but it was a large mackerel that looked to be more than 140 or 50 kilograms.

"Zhao Dahai."

"How can you see so accurately?"

Lin Zuhua looked at Zhao Dahai and really couldn't understand what was going on.

Ding Chongshan and I had been fishing for several hours without any fish taking the bait. Zhao Dahai shouted, "Let the line out farther," and immediately they caught such a big fish. It seemed so accurate, and it was exactly what he said.
