Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 108: A Bountiful Harvest

Chapter 217: A Bountiful Harvest

Hainan Province is still very hot in August. Even at 8 pm, it is still very hot, especially when there is no shelter at sea.

However, this is nothing to anglers who are obsessed with fishing; what they care about most is whether there are any fish biting.

On the other hand, although it is quite hot on the surface of the sea, it does not have much of an impact on the fish underwater.

Moreover, the wind started to pick up after 3 p.m.

Although it was still very hot, the air pressure had risen a bit, and you could tell just by feeling that it wasn't as stuffy as it was at noon.

Perhaps because of this, not long after Xiao Kai and his friends started fishing again, they began to catch fish one after another.

Of course, Tian Wenbin's condition is relatively normal; it's mainly due to the fish species from the morning.

But Xiao Kai is different.

Because he hadn't turned off the cheat code, the area beneath his feet was now teeming with all sorts of fish due to the cheat code's ability to attract fish.

Not long after he cast his bait, it was already being snatched up by fish even before it reached the intended depth.

Seeing the rod tip, which indicated the interface, tremble, Xiao Kai hurriedly lifted the rod to set the hook.

huh~

As expected, it worked.

Soon, with Xiao Kai's skillful fish-playing technique, another fish was caught.

Although the fish caught this time was not a grouper, it was still a rare golden-eyed snapper.

The price of this fish varies widely in the domestic market, with some selling for high prices and others for low prices. However, overall it is considered a rare and top-quality sea bream, comparable to red sea bream.

At its cheapest, wild goldeneye snapper can cost over 60 or 70 yuan, and at its most expensive, it can cost several hundred yuan. Especially in Japan, where this fish is considered the national fish, the price is even higher.

Of course, there's a reason why it's expensive. Wild goldeneye snapper tastes incredibly delicious, much better than bigeye snapper, which looks very similar to it.

These are all things that Xiao Kai figured out on his own during his learning process. Although they can't be said to be 100% accurate, they are not far off.

"Not bad, it's a golden-eyed sea bream!"

Looking at the fish being lifted up, Xiao Kai felt a surge of joy. He quickly took it off the plate and put it into the insulated compartment to preserve it with ice.

After doing all that, he changed the bait again and cast the line into the water.

Two more minutes passed, and Xiao Kai's rod tip started to tremble again.

He reacted quickly and soon caught another fish.

"So fast? Looks like we can't use a single hook!"

Seeing that he had caught another fish so quickly, Xiao Kai was overjoyed, but at the same time, other thoughts began to arise.

With such good fish activity, it would be a waste to only be able to catch them one by one.

So he decisively cut the leader line and selected a set of hook lines from the spare fishing gear to replace it.

This time, he still used a multi-hook rig consisting of 6 hooks. 6 hooks was just right for Xiao Kai, not too much and not too little, so he wouldn't be too tired or overwhelmed.

Xiao Kai quickly changed the cable set.

Then, without hesitation, he changed the bait again and cast the line into the water.

With more hooks and bait, the weight of the leader line increased significantly, causing the line to sink faster and reach the intended water depth in no time.

"1~2~3"

Xiao Kai silently recited in his heart.

Just as he counted to three, the tip of the pole suddenly started to tremble again.

Without hesitation, Xiao Kai quickly gripped the fishing rod tightly.

He knew this was a signal that the fish was biting, but he also knew that this was not the best time to set the hook.

Because this shaking frequency is completely inconsistent with the situation when he caught six fish at the same time.

Having experienced it once before, he knew very well when was the best time to strike.

He didn't want just one fish; he wanted many more, ideally a full hook.

So Xiao Kai waited for a while longer.

During this period, the frequency of the fishing rod shaking would increase almost every few seconds.

This means that more fish are starting to compete for food.

At a certain moment, Xiao Kai's eyes suddenly sharpened, his mind instantly sharpening, and he thought to himself, "Now!"

This thought instantly controlled his body, causing him to swing the rod.

With a whoosh, he forcefully swung the fishing rod in his hand.

In an instant, several chaotic forces flowed from the fishing rod into my hand.

At the same time, the sound of the wire cutting through the water could be heard again, the whistling sound never ceasing.

Not only that, even his lightweight fishing rod, which was capable of catching fish weighing dozens of kilograms, was now stretched into a large bow.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai knew that there were definitely a lot of fish caught this time.

So he became more careful, but his hands moved quickly.

With his constant stirring of the fishing reel, the fishing line was continuously retrieved.

During this time, he skillfully resolved occasional situations where he needed to secure a connection, using his experience to his advantage.

A few more minutes passed before the fishing line was finally reeled in.

As the water level gradually rose, the resistance coming from the fishing rod weakened and weakened, and soon it fell completely silent.

So Xiao Kai sped up the reeling process.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Kai successfully pulled all the fish to the surface of the water.

The moment the fishing line pulled the string of fish out of the water, Xiao Kai's face lit up with a satisfied smile after he could clearly see what the fish looked like.

As it turned out, his experience was correct, and doing so indeed allowed him to catch more fish.

Although the hook wasn't full, we still caught a total of 5 fish.

The main species is still grouper, although they are not very big, there are many of them.

Of the five fish, three were groupers and the remaining two were sea bream.

Although the variety wasn't particularly good, the sizes were all decent, and together they weighed over ten kilograms.

Based on Xiao Kai's understanding of the current market, the total value of these fish is around a thousand yuan, or even more.

"Ten minutes for a thousand yuan, an hour for six thousand yuan! Wow, what could be faster to make money than this!"

After a quick mental calculation, Xiao Kai was stunned by the result; it was much faster than when he was near the coast.

Instantly, Xiao Kai's money-grubbing mentality was completely aroused.

Without saying a word, he immediately changed the bait and started fishing again.

It's worth mentioning that, having learned from his previous experience, he prepared plenty of bait this time, including over ten kilograms of shrimp, enough for him to catch several hundred fish.

So this time, Xiao Kai didn't hold back at all and didn't bother to chop the shrimp up, using the whole thing directly.

Sure enough, the effect was immediate; the fish's bites were very noticeable each time, clearly indicating their satisfaction with the bait.

Of course, the result was that Xiao Kai couldn't stop at all.

Xiao Kai had originally planned to take some time to bring out the tea set Xu Ning had given him and fish while drinking tea if the fish weren't biting well, but the current fishing conditions didn't give him that opportunity at all.

And so, Xiao Kai kept catching fish, landing a string of fish every ten minutes or so.

Thanks to the terrifying fish-gathering effect of the "golden finger" (a powerful ability to attract fish), Xiao Kai always managed to catch a considerable number of fish each time.

At least 4 fish, and sometimes as many as 6 fish on a full hook.
