Oka came over to help, and Sun Lang quickly handed the rod over. It was unclear whether there was a bite or not, but as soon as the rod was lifted, it got snagged on the bottom. With a quick flick of the line, Sun Lang felt it tugging a bit, but the hook remained motionless beneath the surface, indicating it was firmly stuck.
In Taiwanese fishing, there's a method for getting unstuck: using a loss prevention rope to throw the rod forward, which might just free it. However, out at sea, this method seemed unnecessary; they were selling fishing gear and could easily replace a fishing set if needed. If there were fish on the hook, they could let them pull and twist around a bit, and there was a good chance of getting it back.
After struggling for over ten minutes without success, Shi Tian sighed and suggested cutting the line. "We’re not lacking in fishing sets; we can just restock at the shop later." His words carried weight—when he spoke, things tended to happen! No sooner had he finished speaking than the hook came free from the bottom, and to their surprise, there was indeed a fish on it, and it was a decent size.
Quickly reeling in a few turns of the reel, Shi Tian returned the rod to Sun Lang. Oka shot a triumphant glance at Shi Tian and declared, "Fishing requires skill; it's not just about lifting the rod and reeling in. You have to be ready for all sorts of unexpected situations and know how to handle them effectively!"
"Is that so?" Shi Tian retorted. "How will you handle the current situation?" As he pulled up the line, a shimmering golden fish emerged. "Looks like I’ve caught something big!" he exclaimed.
Oka’s expression fell instantly. Without a fish of his own, he had no standing in their little competition and would have to endure any teasing until he could catch one larger than Shi Tian's.
However, upon closer inspection of Shi Tian's catch, Oka smirked and said, "That’s not a Large Yellow Croaker; it's Huang San—Huang Gu Yu. Is that really something to brag about?"
The fisherman didn’t even recognize his own catch! If this got out to their group, they’d have a field day with it. With a raised eyebrow, Oka prepared to take out his phone when Shi Tian quickly interjected, "Hey! Let’s not do anything that might hurt feelings; we don’t want to damage our camaraderie!"
After fishing for so long without distinguishing between a Large Yellow Croaker and Huang Gu Yu would indeed be embarrassing. If Oka shared this in their group chat, he might end up as tomorrow’s meme.
Sun Lang finally reeled in his catch—a Cloud Pattern Grouper. This type of fish wasn’t found in Sanya; it typically lived in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea area. Thus, Shi Tian had never seen one before.
This time, Shi Tian played it smart—he kept quiet and focused on catching his own fish while listening intently as Oka continued to boast about their catches. There were many fish in these waters that Sanya didn’t have; saying the wrong thing would be quite embarrassing.
As the tide began to recede after high tide, the bites became less frequent. The three of them occasionally cast their lines but had little time for conversation now.
Suddenly, Shi Tian felt a tug on his rod and pulled up a two-pound Zebra fish. This species was also rare in Sanya; its scientific name was Stone Bass and thrived in temperate and subtropical waters—Hainan was simply too warm for them.
I heard that he doesn't eat much and has a thick skin. Shi Tian has never tried it and isn't interested in eating it. With a quick motion, he plucked it and tossed it into the Living Water Tank. Stone Bass.
