Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Wu Sui ignored them.

His hands didn't stop; he continued to slowly reel in the line.

"What's the panic?" Wu Sui didn't even turn his head, his tone calm. "The real show is yet to come."

Wu Lei gave a wry smile, finally lit his cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

"Ah Sui, I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but there's really no hope in this situation."

"Why don't we finish harvesting the rest quickly, then plant it in another spot? We might still have a good catch if we go back late tonight."

"Why don't we try our luck off the coast? Maybe we can salvage some of the fuel costs."

Wang Dazhu echoed in a muffled voice.

"Yeah, Brother Sui, it's heartbreaking to see that empty hook, like a knife cutting into your flesh."

Wu Sui didn't respond, his hands continuing to work.

The twentieth hook came out of the water.

A distinct splash rose from the water's surface.

"Got it!" Wang Dazhu sprang up from the deck, grabbed the landing net, and rushed over, moving faster than a rabbit.

A yellowfin tuna the size of a palm was caught on the hook, its tail thrashing wildly, splashing water all over Wang Dazhu's face.

"Oh my, finally we've seen something alive!"

Wu Lei quickly pushed the plastic basket over, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

Wu Sui picked the fish off the hook and threw it into the basket, then continued pulling the line.

Then, the situation began to improve significantly.

Although there are still some empty hooks, you can usually pull up a fish after five or six empty hooks.

Black sea bream, yellowfin tuna, rockfish, sea bass...

Although none of them are particularly valuable items, at least they're no longer all empty hooks.

Wu Lei and Da Zhu's expressions visibly softened, and they became more energetic in their work.

"Okay, okay, something's better than nothing!"

Wu Lei tossed a half-pound black sea bream into the live water tank and rubbed his hands together happily.

"This fish looks healthy and can fetch a good price at the market. Finally, we're seeing a return on our investment."

Wang Dazhu also perked up, holding a net and standing guard nearby, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

"Brother Sui, take it easy, slow down, don't tear the fish's mouth, it would be a shame if it got away."

On the boat next to him, Wu Gang watched as fish were being caught one after another and finally felt relieved.

Although the equipment deployed was all ordinary, compared to the despairing continuous air force attacks just now, this was already a decent result.

Everyone's requirements have now been lowered to the bare minimum; as long as it's not an empty hook, it's fine.

Wu Sui pulled the string, feeling the weight in his hand, and knew very well that this was just an appetizer.

The golden dot of light was slowly appearing before our eyes.

They pulled up a dozen more hooks and caught a few worthless small fish.

Wang Dazhu wiped the sweat from his face and let out a long sigh.

"Phew... I've made back the money I spent on bait."

Wu Sui stopped what she was doing and shook her aching arms.

"Brother Lei, open the lid of the live water tank and get ready."

Wu Lei was taken aback, his face full of confusion.

"Why open it? Just put these few small fish in any basket."

"Open it first." Wu Sui took a deep breath, regained his grip on the main thread, and adjusted his posture.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Wu Lei lifted the lid of the live water tank and peeked inside.

"This cabin is so empty, it looks kind of pitiful. Don't make me fly it for nothing."

Wu Sui gripped the main line with both hands and suddenly lifted it upwards.

"call out!"

A tremendous pulling force came from underwater, almost causing Wu Sui to stumble, with half of his body sticking out of the ship's side.

Wu Sui quickly grabbed the side of the boat, nailing his feet to the deck and holding onto the main line with one hand.

"Holy crap!" Wu Lei was startled and quickly grabbed Wu Sui.

"Ah Sui, what happened? It got caught on the bottom! Let go quickly, or the thread will snap."

Wang Dazhu panicked and quickly dropped the net and ran over to help pull the line.

"Don't move!" Wu Sui shouted, stopping Wang Dazhu.

"It's not a snag on the bottom, it's a bite."

Wu Sui gritted his teeth, feeling the struggling force coming from underwater.

This force is unlike that of a rock spot.

The grouper's burst of power is sudden and strong, but at the beginning it's like a rock, not reacting much. It only suddenly exerts its power when it reaches the middle of its range.

But now, the fish is struggling hard from the start, giving the impression that it's playing tug-of-war with a person.

"What's that so powerful?"

Wu Lei stared wide-eyed at the sea in disbelief.

On the boat next door, Wu Gang also noticed the unusual situation.

"Hey, second brother, what's wrong? Did you get hooked on something big?" Wu Gang's loud voice pierced through the sea breeze.

Wu Sui didn't have time to pay attention to him; all her energy was focused on the online game in her hands.

The thing underwater was swimming wildly, so Wang Dazhu quickly found Wu Sui a pair of gloves.

Wu Sui didn't have time to wear gloves right now, which made Wang Dazhu anxious and pacing around in circles.

He could clearly see that the fishing line had cut Wu Sui's hand, and blood was dripping onto the deck. The group of people didn't dare to breathe.

Wu Sui didn't care at all; instead, he grinned.

The seawater is much clearer today, and you can already vaguely see things in the water.

Wu Lei was extremely anxious.

"Ah Sui, let go, I'll pull! This fish is too strong, don't hurt your hand!"

Wu Sui gritted his teeth, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

"It's okay, the fish is still struggling; switching hands could easily cause it to get off the hook!"

Wang Dazhu stood to the side with gloves in his hand, stamping his feet in frustration.

Wu Sui used both hands alternately to pull the fish back little by little during the intervals of its struggle.

On the boat next door, Wu Gang finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted in their direction.

"Second brother, what did you get? Do you need us to come help?"

Chen Yang lay on the gunwale and howled at the top of his lungs.

"Brother-in-law, what exactly did you get? It's been going on for so long!"

Wu Sui had no time to pay attention to them; all her attention was focused on her hands.

As they got closer, the underwater struggles began to weaken.

The fish finally ran out of energy. Wu Sui took a deep breath and suddenly lifted it upwards.

A bright yellow color emerged from underwater.

Wu Lei kept his head out, staring at the water.

Upon seeing that splash of yellow, I froze.

He clung to the gunwale, his mouth agape.

That color is too garish.

Under the refraction of sunlight, it is golden all over, and its scales shimmer.

It was about 70 or 80 centimeters long and shone with a golden light.

Wu Lei's brain completely shut down.

He rubbed his eyes and peered over again.

Yes, it's golden yellow.

Those distinctive fins, that streamlined body.

"Ah... Ah Sui..."

Wu Lei made a gurgling sound in his throat, and his finger pointing at the water trembled like a sieve.

Wang Dazhu was extremely anxious.

"Brother Lei, what is it? Stop trembling and say something!"

Wu Lei couldn't hear Wang Dazhu's voice at all.

He turned to look at Wu Sui, his face flushed, and even his lips were trembling.

"Big... big..."

He couldn't utter a single complete word for a long time.

Wu Sui, holding the string with both hands, roared at Wang Dazhu.

"Dazhu, grab the net, quick!"
