A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 204 Fish, a big fish, tiger shark

But I'm not sure whether the fish in the sea can be deceived. But I have nothing to do now, so I might as well go fishing. Even if I don't catch any fish, I'll just consider it as exercise.

Perhaps because of his change in mentality, Leon was no longer obsessed with catching fish. While holding the fishing rod tightly, he chatted with Willy and paid no attention to the movements in the sea.

When Leon wasn't paying attention, a dark figure was chasing the incredibly fast sardine bait under the sea. The moment it got close, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the bait completely.

It was also at this moment that Lyon felt the strong pulling force from the fishing rod in his hand. Although Lyon's brain had not yet reacted, the muscles in his hands had naturally tensed up, and when Lyon reacted, Lyon instantly got into the state.

At this moment, Willy also noticed that the fishing rod in Leon's hand had been bent into the shape of the letter C. He immediately slowed down the boat and shouted, "Leon, we've got a fish!"

"I know, I'm trying." Leon was holding the fishing rod tightly at this moment, wrestling with the big guy in the sea.

Willy also immediately slowed down the boat and came over to pay attention to the status of Leon's fishing rod, while giving instructions.

"Relieve the tension, let out the line, and let it slide for a while. The rod won't hold up if you pull so hard."

"Yeah." This was not Leon's first time fishing, so he naturally understood what Willy meant. While loosening the damper, he was also consciously reeling in and releasing the fishing line.

"It's a big one. It's very powerful. It's even more strenuous than the last time I caught that giant catfish."

"After all, you're a sea fish. Your size and strength are not comparable to freshwater fish. You hold on for a while. If you can't hold on any longer, I'll take over."

Willy didn't want to drive the boat anymore. He just stayed beside Leon, half of his body sticking out of the boat, observing the movements underwater.

The noisy sound naturally woke Gus. Gus's face was a little pale at this moment, but he still got up and went to Willy's side and asked, "What fish did you catch?"

"I don't know. The fishing rod is not in my hand, so I can't tell what kind of fish it is by the sound of its struggling." Willy replied, shaking his head.

"But what is certain is that it is definitely a big one."

Upon hearing this, Gus also leaned half of his body out like Willy, trying to see what Leon had caught on the sea surface.

At this moment, Leon was gritting his teeth as he struggled with the big guy in the sea. He had no time to talk to Willy and the others, because he needed to put all his effort into catching the fishing rod.

The current Leon is completely different from the Leon who was fishing for the giant catfish before. The physical enhancement provided by the Star Fruit has improved Leon's physical fitness by at least one level. Leon has not tested his specific strength, but it should not be too low. Even so, Leon still feels tired.

Fortunately, there are not many animals with greater endurance than humans. After a stalemate of more than ten minutes, Leon finally felt that the movement of the big guy at the other end of the fishing line had become much smaller, so he hurriedly turned the reel to reel in the line while calling Willy.

"Willy, see if there's a landing net or something, get ready to catch some fish."

But Willy, who had been staring at the sea, shook his head numbly: "No, the landing net is useless." "Huh?"

Leon looked at Willy in confusion, then he reeled in the line while looking at the sea, and he seemed to understand what Willy meant.

Because at this moment, the big guy that Leon pulled out of the water could already be seen clearly, with its iconic large dorsal fin and round gray frosted skin with stripes.

The exaggerated size of the monster, which was half the length of the fishing boat, and the missile-like head and ferocious teeth undoubtedly revealed the identity of the big guy who had been fighting with Leon for a long time.

"It's a tiger shark." Leon actually recognized this thing. After all, he had seen it in the aquarium, but he never thought that one day he would be able to meet it by fishing.

"It's a tiger shark." Willy on the side confirmed in amazement. He had guessed what kind of fish Leon might have caught, but he never thought it would be a tiger shark, and an adult tiger shark at that.

If most people encounter a tiger shark while sea fishing, they will basically have their fishing rods dragged away without any competition, because the tiger shark's size and strength are beyond the angler's ability to resist. You can either choose to cut the line and abandon the rod, or you can hold on to the fishing rod and wait to be dragged into the sea by the tiger shark.

Apart from the professional equipment or harpoons used by large fishing boats, this was the first time in all his years of going to sea that Willy saw someone who could use a sea fishing rod on a boat to hold out against a tiger shark for ten minutes and successfully drag it out of the sea.

Although he didn't quite understand what level of status ​​he catching a tiger shark meant in the fishing world, just by looking at the size and species and Willy's expression, Gus knew that Leon was awesome.

"How should shark be cooked? I haven't tried it yet."

This was Gus' only thought at the moment. After all, Willy, who had come over to watch the fun, was planning to see what kind of fish Leon caught and use it to make dinner. But now that the fish that was supposed to show off his cooking skills was a shark, there was nothing he could do.

Because this involved his blind spot in knowledge. Even during the time he worked in the city, he had never seen a dish using shark as an ingredient.

Leon finally got the tiger shark out of the water completely. Perhaps the tiger shark realized that its body had left the sea water, and it began to struggle again.

But this time Leon didn't intend to indulge it. He directly clamped the fishing rod on his arm to keep it in position to prevent the tiger shark from rushing back into the seabed. At the same time, he took out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife, extended the blade, and hit the tiger shark's head with the back of the knife.

With a muffled sound, the tiger shark completely stopped moving, and Leon took advantage of the situation to put away his knife and pull the line. When the tiger shark, using the buoyancy provided by the sea water, was pulled to the side of the boat, he directly put it into the system backpack.

Thanks to the extra storage space provided by the small magnetic ring, otherwise he really couldn't think of any other way to drag up such a big shark. Without the buoyancy of sea water, this fishing rod might not be able to handle such a heavy guy.

"Disappeared?" Willy looked at the empty fishhook in surprise, not realizing what had happened.

Guts, however, understood the specific situation and looked at Leon and asked, "Leon, which special ability did you use to take it away?"

"Well, it's on me. Do you want me to take it out and show it to you?" Leon asked while nodding.
