Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

There is no sunlight at night and there is insufficient oxygen underwater, so many fish like to swim to shallow waters.

Soon, the fishing rod could feel the vibration of something biting the hook.

Li Yuer felt her hand sink, and a strong force pulled the fishing rod into the sea, almost causing her to fall.

From this we can see that the fish underwater cannot be small.

She is still young and not strong enough, so it is quite difficult for her to compete with such a big guy.

"Brother! Come and help quickly, there is a big fish!"

Li Erlang put the fishing rod on the ground, pressed it down with a stone, and ran back to help Li Yuer reel in the fishing line.

"No! It's a little too big, I'm afraid I can't pull it up!"

Fishing is a contest between the strength and tenacity of man and fish.

In this era, production technology was limited, fishing rods were just ordinary bamboo poles, and fishing lines were just ordinary hemp lines, which simply could not pull in large fish.

Looking at the fishing rod that was bent beyond recognition, Li Yuer said worriedly, "What should I do? Let it go, or it will break."

Li Erlang shook his head, "I'll try again."

When the fish exerted force, he would let out the line; when the fish became exhausted, he would reel it in, maintaining a stalemate with the fish underwater.

Nao Nao said, "If we give up now, we can only cut the fishhook. Brother Erlang, try again. If it doesn't work, we can only give up."

Due to the excessive force, the fishing rod bent into a crescent shape, which was terrifying to watch.

"Brother, why don't you just cut it off? It's just a fishhook. We don't want it anymore. Don't let it drag you down with it."

She was really afraid that Li Erlang would be dragged into the sea by accident.

Although they all know how to swim, visibility is poor at night and people are overly panicked, which can easily lead to accidents.

Li Erlang's temper flared up, and he panted and said, "Wait a little longer, just a little longer, I can still hold on for a while."

When Li Laosan heard the sound, he walked over with a scoop net, ready to respond at any time.

When a big fish bites the hook, it is particularly challenging for the angler's skills and patience. For a big fish like this that cannot be pulled up in one go, the angler has to let out and reel in the line just right, relying on skills and experience to first consume the fish's strength, then drag the fish to the shore and scoop it up with a scoop net.

After a stalemate of about a cup of tea, the underwater dragging force finally gradually subsided.

A huge grouper was pulled out of the water. All living things have the instinct to survive. The grouper jumped out of the water, flipped over in mid-air, and fell back into the water, making its last struggle.

"It's out! It's out!" Li Erlang shouted in surprise, "It's a giant grouper! Wow, it's so big!"

Everyone's eyes were attracted.

Erdan said in disbelief: "No way! We caught a giant grouper already? There really are giant groupers here!"

Biaozi wanted to go over to check, his hand sank, and the fishing rod trembled. Oh! He also caught something.

Seeing that Li Erlang was struggling and the fishing rod was shaky, Li Yuer thought of the fishing line in his previous life and said, "Let's try using the fishing line some other day."

Li Laosan stepped forward to help Li Erlang pull, but also to prevent him from being dragged down, "What is the fishing line?"

“The principle of a fishing line is similar to that of a fishing rod, except there is no rod, only line.”

“How do you cast the line?”

"There are sinkers. You can cast the sinker to move the line. Of course, it is more technically demanding than fishing with a fishing rod. Not all places and fish species can be caught with fishing lines. Fishing rods are more convenient."

Looking at the bamboo pole that was almost broken by the pulling, Li Yuer said: "But fishing line also has its advantages. The fishing line will not break, and the fishing line can be thicker, which is more suitable for catching big fish."

In the past, almost no one used fishing line, except for some old people living on the seaside.

In this era of highly developed science and technology, all kinds of fishing lines are available, and both the load-bearing capacity and appearance can meet various fishing needs. No one uses troublesome fishing lines anymore.

"I'm coming!"

After another tug-of-war that lasted for a cup of tea, the big fish under the water was finally exhausted and was gradually dragged ashore.

“No way?!” Nao Nao and Li Lao San came over, “Could it be that it’s getting dark and I’m dazzled? Third brother, tell me quickly, am I seeing things right? There really is such a huge giant grouper! It’s almost like a dirt dragon!”

Li Laosan was also surprised, "Yes, it's a giant grouper!" But he was sure that he was not mistaken.

The dark brown fish body and the patterns on it are definitely a giant grouper.

Li Yuer shouted anxiously: "Don't worry about what kind of fish it is, just pull it up quickly! Otherwise, if it runs away, it will be a waste of effort!"

Li Laosan and Naonao reacted quickly, swung up the scoop net, and took a lot of effort to catch the struggling fish into the net.

The two men pulled the net pole upwards. Perhaps sensing that its fate was about to come to an end, the giant grouper suddenly struggled again and Li Laosan almost lost his hold on it.

Li Erlang couldn't let go for fear that the fish would escape the net, so he had to rely on the fishing rod to control it.

Naonao simply let go, went straight over to pick up the jumping giant grouper into his arms, and half-carried and half-dragged it to the shore.

"I still don't believe in evil today, I can't deal with you!"

As Biaozi untied the sea bass from his fishing rod, he shouted, "Oh my God! You caught the ancestor of the giant grouper!"

Erdan was holding two fishing rods in his hands and couldn't come over, but that didn't stop him from cheering for the others, "Come on! Don't let go! This is too big! I've never seen a giant grouper this big."

After working together for a while, they finally dragged the big guy ashore.

Looking at the giant grouper lying among the rocks, Li Erlang said in embarrassment: "It's too big. There's nothing to hold it in."

Li Yuer glanced at the bucket that was taller than his calf. Even if it was placed vertically, the fish's head and tail would be exposed, and the fish would definitely not live long.

The giant grouper is distributed in various sea areas. The deep-sea giant grouper can grow to several tons in weight. This grouper is estimated to be more than 30 kilograms, which is considered to be the largest grouper that can be caught near the coast.

"What should we do? We can't let it die."

Li Yuer looked at the puddle between the rocks and said quickly, "Put it in the puddle first."

"Yes! Let's deal with it first!"

Several people carried the grouper with a scoop net and moved it carefully to the puddle between the reefs.

As soon as it entered the water, the grouper began to look for a place to hide, but the puddle was so small that there was no place to hide, and in the end it could only stay in the water.

The puddle was not deep, and part of the grouper's back was exposed above the water. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a reef.

Nao Nao suggested, "How about you guys go fishing first, and Biaozi and I will go back and get another big bucket."

"Where can we find a bucket that big? Besides, if the bucket is any bigger, the small boat won't be able to fit in it," said Erdan.

Nao Nao thought about it and said, "The bucket can be tied to the back of the paddle and float on its own without having to be put on the paddle."

Li Laosan said, "My family doesn't have a big bucket like this except for a big basin for bathing. Who else has one?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had such a big bucket.
