The ordinary Electric Reel has a Power Cable of one and a half meters, but Shi Tian's Wheel is larger, so for Fishing for Big Fish, the Power Cable is three meters long. However, even with three meters, it’s impossible to drag from the starboard to the port side!
Bending down to untangle the line, he rushed to the other side, realizing he didn’t have time to plug in the Power Cable. He decided to engage in a battle of strength first!
That fish on your Rod has experience! It knows how to maneuver! With a teasing remark, Air Force placed the Rod on the Fishing Rod Holder and turned around to help Shi Tian plug in the Power Cable. Then he took a hose and sprayed it onto Shi Tian's brake.
How many times could it have unhooked and cut the line? I have thousands of experiences catching fish; how could I not handle it? Shi Tian was unfazed by Air Force's teasing.
Thousands? You’ve only been fishing for a few days! If I hadn’t personally brought you into this, I might have believed you! Shaking his head with a smile, Air Force shot back.
I haven’t been fishing for long, but I’ve spent a lot of time reeling in Bai Tiao! Thousands is an understatement; it’s probably more like ten thousand!
Reeling in Bai Tiao counts? Does your Bai Tiao experience even matter? If that counts, then I’d believe you caught tens of thousands! Seeing that Shi Tian’s Electric Reel had stopped overheating, Air Force hung up the hose and ran back to play with his own Rod, continuing to tease the fish.
The fish on this Hook may have experience, but it still wasn’t enough. After several jumps, Shi Tian couldn’t help but rub his belly.
Jumping so high and landing heavily in the water—doesn’t that hurt its belly?
Whether it hurts or not, Shi Tian wasn’t sure, but he knew that after several heavy landings, the fish had exhausted itself!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly reeled in. His line was only about three hundred meters long; if luck was on his side, he might pull the fish up before Shi Ye.
With a push on the Electric Reel, he reeled in quickly. To his surprise, the fish swam towards Air Force’s side—was it confused?
He moved up a couple of steps to take advantage of this moment and reel in as fast as possible. It was normal for a Sailfish to jump and attack a Fisherman, but not this particular fish!
Having jumped so many times already and with Air Force's boat being so high off the water, it would need super strength to leap onto the deck!
The Electric Reel couldn’t keep up with how fast the fish swam. Seeing that it was still swimming towards him without hesitation, Shi Tian thrust his Rod into the side of the boat and bent down to grab a Fish Spear attached to a rope, focusing intently on the fish charging towards him.
With determination comes strength; when one party is exhausted while another is full of energy, victory is assured.
This fish had charged too far; perhaps it had overestimated its own abilities. Most likely, it realized too late that its efforts were misguided! As it approached the boat’s edge, its speed began to slow down.
Seizing the moment, Shi Tian raised the Fish Spear and threw it at the bewildered Sailfish still swimming near the boat. The spear struck true and embedded itself in its back; it must have shattered some bones because immediately after, the fish calmed down.
Ye Ge, I’ve got this one sorted out! Stopping the Electric Reel, he pulled on the rope attached to the Fish Spear to drag the fish towards the Stern. Shi Tian turned back and provoked Shi Ye.
You finished that so quickly? It can’t be that you cut the line! Shi Tian’s words left everyone stunned. What kind of joke is this? The fish on your Rod is big and lively; how could you finish so soon?
Glancing at the rope tied to Shi Tian’s spear gun, Air Force hurriedly leaned over to look at what was happening on the port side. To his shock, blood stained the sea as a nearly five-meter-long Sailfish was dragged by Shi Tian towards the Stern.
Since he was already here, he might as well help out. He grabbed a rope and looped it around the fish's tail before activating Wei Diao. This was only the second time Wei Diao had been used on Air Force's boat—both times were for catching fish for Shi Tian!
He hooked up the rope and slowly began lifting it up. A few more pulls would be needed to take revenge on this Sailfish that hadn’t quite given up yet.
With the same hook and the same bait, why would one bite Shi Tian's hook but not his own?
After draining the blood, the fish was lifted by the gaff and placed in Hai Li for a thorough cleaning before being hoisted back up. Once a few photos were taken, Lu Ya and Shi Chui were called over to quickly move the fish into the Ice Chamber.
Bleeding is one thing, but acid removal is another. Bleeding is straightforward; if you hit the right spot, it only takes a few minutes. Acid removal is even simpler—just let it sit for a few hours, and the lactic acid that accumulates in the muscles during a quick struggle will be expelled, resulting in better meat quality.
The Sailfish Army had lost two key members and retreated in disgrace. As soon as they withdrew, the school of fish vanished into the vast ocean. Only Shi Ye remained, engaged in a lonely battle with the fish on his rod.
With another surge of effort, Shi Ye's previous struggles seemed almost wasted as the number on the Electric Reel dropped back to six hundred meters.
"Go for it, Ye Ge!" While reeling in their lines, Air Force and Lu Ya cheered Shi Ye on, though there was an undertone of sarcasm in their encouragement.
As the three of them reeled in their lines, Lu Ya resumed her position, pouring water onto Shi Ye's Wheel to keep it cool.
How big was Xiao Tian's fish? The duration of this third surge of effort wasn’t long; it was a back-and-forth battle—advance when the enemy retreats and retreat when they advance. Once the effort was over, he could reel in again.
Four hundred and twenty Shi San Jin—four point six meters—had made it into the ice chamber!
Are you tired after such a long fight? Should I help you reel for a while?
The Wei Diao had a weighing function; as soon as they lifted the fish, Shi Tian and Air Force would know its weight.
Four hundred and twenty Shi San Jin—over two hundred pounds—that was slightly above average weight for an adult Sailfish.
