Chapter 2029 - 2029: 2029

The seawater gently ripples and the ocean current remains steady.

The night sky is a deep blue, with stars shining brightly against each other.

Even the moon looks exceptionally bright and unusually large.

Ye Tianming savors this process, with his beloved daughter grilling a nighttime barbecue, brewing tea, and making coffee on one side, and his much-admired son-in-law, Liu Zhizhong, accompanying him on fishing on the other. As a senior over fifty, he feels very content.

He even scooped some diced octopus bait into the water, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed: "Wow, even abroad the moon is rounder and bigger, haha..."

Liu Zhizhong and Ye Bingyu both laughed along, feeling quite happy.

There's no choice; here abroad, the sea air is scarcely polluted, the visibility is high, and the refraction of moonlight isn't as apparent, so naturally, it seems bigger and rounder.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but tease: "Ye, nothing compares to home. No matter how round the moon is outside the village, it's still a world of its own."

Ye Bingyu chimed in: "Always saying it's difficult outside, yet you never go back, right?"

"Hahaha..."

After a hearty laugh, the three of them continued eating, drinking, and watching for tuna. Anyway, only after venturing outside the village did they realize neither wolves nor rain were there — and that was a pleasant experience.

It wasn't long before what Liu Zhizhong previously mentioned came true.

He had said that Ye would surely be the first to catch a fish tonight!

Because Ye Tianming was fishing for surface fish, cutting half the tentacles of the bait octopus for a dynamic lure with a fishy smell. At the same time, every five to six minutes, Ye Tianming would throw some bits of octopus bait to attract these predatory ocean fish, which are irresistibly drawn to this three-dimensional movement and scent.

Sure enough, the tip of Ye Tianming's rod suddenly bent down with a "whoosh" sound.

Right then, Ye Tianming bounced up with very quick reflexes.

He grabbed his nine-meter aerospace fishing rod and heaved it upward.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

The special aerospace wire fishing line made a melodious whistling sound in the water.

For a fishing enthusiast, the beauty of this sound rivals classic music! One could say it's the most beautiful music for a fisherman.

The heavy-duty rod bent into a small arc, not quite a large one.

Ye Tianming steadied himself while saying: "It's a small fish, not too big, about a dozen pounds or so, haha..."

Seeing her father catch a fish, Ye Bingyu came over with a skewer, standing there watching beautifully.

Liu Zhizhong lit a cigarette and watched his father-in-law fishing with a smile.

With a nine-meter rod and a 30-meter line set, it's totally easy to manage the sea fish.

The sea fish darted quickly, but was soon restrained and turned around.

Just like that, in less than three minutes, a dark figure emerged on the distant sea surface, indeed looking not too big.

By this time, the fish was already tired out.

Afterward, it was easy.

Ye Tianming directly held his fishing rod and ascended the ladder to the yacht's top deck.

By the time he walked about ten meters toward the stern, the fish had been led close to the deck.

Liu Zhizhong turned on the light, put on gloves, held the fish line, and easily brought the fish onto the deck.

"Haha... Ye, not bad, not bad, a large grouper, weighing at least fifteen to sixteen pounds!"

Ye Tianming chuckled, came down with the fishing rod again, "Got some goods, got some goods, that's good... keep going, the big tuna must come to shore!"

Soon, this large grouper was placed in the live fish compartment.

The yacht's live fish compartment was custom-made, three meters long, two meters wide, and one and a half meters deep, much like a small swimming pool!

With seawater filled inside, and fish added, they can survive freely, staying alive and fresh, haha...

Ye Tianming eagerly re-baited, cast his rod into the water, took a puff, and just continued waiting.

The next three hours were purely Ye's performance. Oh~~~

Sea bass, large yellow croaker, sea eagle and so on, ranging from a few to a dozen pounds, were caught by him one after another. His specially made rods and lines are indeed formidable, handling them with ease.

This left Ye Tianming a bit frustrated, saying that hooking these small predatory fish means the tuna school has not come yet!

Liu Zhizhong said not to worry, that it's still early. You're not targeting a specific fish with surface fishing. I, on the other hand, fishing down below, need to wait even longer. Keep building bait stations, keep going!

At midnight, it continued to be Ye's performance time, and Ye Bingyu, feeling drowsy, went to sleep.

Liu Zhizhong stayed around, continuing to assist his father-in-law with baiting and reeling in fish while managing his own sea fishing electromagnetic drag high-end electric fishing rod.

Ye Tianming yawned and said: "Looks like there's no hope tonight, haha..."

Liu Zhizhong calmly replied: "There's no rush, as the night deepens, the big fish will bite. Sea fishing follows the same pattern as freshwater fishing, haha... maybe, when least expected, the big fish will show up!"

"Yeah, that's right..."

They continued sipping their drinks, munching on snacks, and smoking cigarettes, all while waiting for big fish.

Before long, Ye Tianming noticed his rod had no activity.

"Zhizhong, do you think there's going to be a bite soon? It's been half an hour without any action on my end."

Liu Zhizhong shared his anticipation, nodding: "The big fish is here; the previous fish were just small fry, scared off and avoiding it. Ye, get ready!"

Revitalized, Ye Tianming immediately tossed a few more scoops of bait down.

Just as he set down the bait scoop, suddenly, with a whizzing sound, the specially made rod was pulled into a large arc.

The rod, mounted on a metal clip fixed to the boat, obviously would not be dragged into the water.

Amidst his laughter, Ye Tianming retrieved the rod, pulling it taut and steady, exclaiming loudly: "This one is not small, absolutely not small, hahaha..."

On the water's surface, the fishing line cut through, producing a sharp and intense whistling sound!

The specially made rod formed a beautiful curve beneath the moonlit night.

The gleaming, silvery line still showing above water shimmered like bright threads of electricity.

Underwater, the huge creature, dragging the line set, continued its frantic escape, fleeing into the distance. Ye Tianming, pulling and tugging, managed to draw it back; when it veered left, Ye Tianming steered it right...

Soon, Ye Tianming had veins popping on his forehead, biceps bulging, and large beads of sweat forming on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong said: "Ye, let me take over; this fish is indeed no small fry!"

"No need, no need, I can handle it, I can handle it, haha... just get the fish spear ready. This must be a big tuna, a giant tuna, hahaha..."

This veteran truly shows incredible willpower. At his age, his stamina remains quite impressive.

Watching his enthusiasm, Liu Zhizhong decided to say no more, directly preparing the fish spear.

You can't net a tuna with an ordinary sea fishing net.

You need a fish spear, and an electric one at that, haha...
