Chapter 2030 - 2030: 2030

To be honest, Ye Tianming was sweating all over while playing with the fish, full of enthusiasm and excitement, whereas Liu Zhizhong hadn't caught anything yet, hehe...

But Liu Zhizhong is also somewhat disappointed. His father-in-law's joy is a good thing. The more joyful he is, the more beneficial it is for the revolution.

Good heavens, President Liu managed to think about the revolution while fishing with his father-in-law?

Too cunning!

Too insidious, haha...

Of course, Liu Zhizhong also understands that this tuna hasn't been brought ashore yet, and Ye will surely struggle with it for quite a while.

This fish weighs at least two to three hundred pounds.

Tuna are vigorous creatures; unless absolutely necessary, they don't give up struggling. Even before you can use a harpoon on them, when you're approaching them, they still try to swim away.

That's why, when some ocean fishers catch tuna and reel them in, when the fish is still ten or twenty meters away from the boat, it can easily struggle off the hook. At this kind of distance, the harpoon has to be ready.

Tuna are famous worldwide, especially the bluefin tuna, which are even harder to catch.

The easier something is to attain, the less it's worth. The logic isn't flawed, right?

So those claims of catching a seven hundred-pound tuna by hand quickly and bringing it ashore, heh... just watch and see.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong, with his prepared harpoon gun, isn't impatient; there's still some time!

In such moments, he rather turns his attention to his own fishing rod.

As the tuna occupies the upper layers of the water, without other fish, Ye Tianming clearly hooked one, indicating a large group must have arrived.

Now, while Ye Tianming is playing with the fish, the entire thirty- to forty-meter sea water region is greatly disturbed.

So, where did the incoming tuna group go? Hehe...

Obviously, they went to deeper, safer waters!

Thus, Liu Zhizhong's opportunity has come!

So, Liu Zhizhong continues to throw some scraps into Ye Tianming's spot while moving to another spot, tossing some into his own area.

As long as the tuna sink to the bottom and there's food below, it's much safer to stay in the deep water, you see?

During this process, Liu Zhizhong discussed this with Ye Tianming, reaching an agreement.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong focused most of his energy on his own fishing rod, as who knows when there might be action.

Ye Tianming, meanwhile, continues his struggle with the large tuna in a stalemate stage, unable to bring it ashore, with no issues with specialized fishing gear.

This situation allows for taking photos as souvenirs.

Even Ye Bingyu, who was asleep, woke up, thrilled.

At this moment, she asked her dad for his fishing rod, eager to experience the impact of an ocean delicacy giant, which is completely acceptable.

Father and daughter—one playing with the fish, one taking pictures—such a beautiful life.

Ye Tianming even mentioned he wouldn't kill this tuna, as he plans to bring some back for his wife and brother for sashimi!

Ye Bingyu reassured him, saying, "Don't worry, your son-in-law is great at handling this."

Liu Zhizhong chuckled and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it. We have preservation facilities on the boat. Once the tuna comes ashore, it won't live long so must be killed promptly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhizhong's automatic electric fishing rod started ringing loudly.

Looking up, Liu Zhizhong noticed he had caught a fish! The first wave of impact had arrived!

His fishing rod began crazily releasing line, bending almost to the point of breaking.

He quickly ran over, grabbed the reel, activated a button on the side, doubling the release speed.

Due to the fish's rapid escape, slow line release could easily result in broken line or hook, causing the loss of the fish along with the fishing gear.

Typically, big tuna caught from deep waters are known for their frantic escapes requiring quick line release.

If you don't let the line out and try to forcefully reel it in, it's nearly impossible to bring the fish ashore.

Evidently, Liu Zhizhong's tuna was quite big, with an extremely fierce escape.

Liu Zhizhong's setup included a 1,000-meter line, and the spool was swiftly unwinding.

Wearing gloves, Liu Zhizhong let the gloves meet the wheel subtly, getting some water on the line to reduce the heat generated by friction to prevent snapping.

The frenzied big fish, demanding line at speed, really quickly heats up the reel, which could cause breakage.

Therefore, cooling is crucial.

During the process, as the line frenetically unwinds, it creates plumes of vapor under the light, quite a sight.

Heat leads to water evaporation, rising into the air, as cool as water at night, forming small water droplets—it's like mist!

Amidst the mist and beautiful sights, Ye Bingyu snapped pictures of her man, incredibly excited. She also needed to help Liu Zhizhong by continuously tossing some bait scraps down. The spot was disturbed but also needed replenishing for future catches.

The large fish required Liu Zhizhong to release as much line as possible; another reason for giving line liberally was to avoid entangling lines.

With Ye Tianming fishing on the left hand side, with quite a range, Liu Zhizhong abstaining from releasing enough line could cause the two lines to tangle, leading to disaster and losing the fish, resulting in a complete mess, haha...

Here, watching Liu Zhizhong reel in a fish, Ye Tianming too was excited, chuckling: "Hey, Zhizhong, with your experience, how big do you think yours is?"

Liu Zhizhong pondered, trying to reel in casually since the fish had escaped over three hundred meters and its progress was slowing.

After reeled a bit, feeling the tension, he remarked, "Not too big, just a bit over a hundred pounds! Shouldn't be as large as Ye's fish!"

Finishing the thought, he began reeling, controlling the line over three hundred meters away, carefully managing the fish.

Ye Tianming laughed: "That's still quite something, keep it up, once both are ashore we'll know the outcome of the competition."

However, big tuna aren't that easy to bring ashore; their struggle and survival instincts are exceedingly powerful.

Before dawn broke, Ye Tianming's big fish was still not ashore, while Liu Zhizhong's had been reeled in.

A grand 101-pound bluefin tuna had been reeled onto the yacht, thanks to his advanced electric fishing rod.

Magnificent, truly stunning!

Despite the blood from the electric harpoon, its shape and the beautiful blue shimmery fin were incredibly captivating under the lights.

Liu Zhizhong and Ye Tianming took turns photographing it, then swiftly deflated the tuna, picked it up, and stored it into the yacht's freezer.

In this situation, if placed back in the water, it wouldn't survive and might ruin the meat quality. He was tired, unable to kill it immediately.

Ye Tianming and Ye Bingyu, taking turns managing the fish, were also exhausted, needing Liu Zhizhong's assistance...
