Alaska Gold Rush Diary

The two focused on fishing and each had a good catch.

Some of the onlookers dispersed to go fishing on their own, planning to come back and watch when the results were in.

Several girls, including Anli, were clearly Sullivan's fans, surrounding him and showering him with compliments.

Sullivan secretly rented this yacht without his parents' knowledge, solely for the purpose of hunting for women; therefore, the majority of the passengers on the yacht were women.

But he didn't expect that Hathaway, whom he liked the most, would agree to come, which made him shift his focus back to Hathaway from the group of girls.

He couldn't understand why Hathaway was acting so intimately with that yellow-skinned pig. Although that yellow-skinned pig was indeed quite handsome, he looked poor and shabby. How could he compare to him?

Although his family wasn't actually very wealthy, he believed that after his parents scolded him, they would still obediently pay the yacht rental bill.

This yellow-skinned pig was clearly cleaner inside than on its face.

He just happened to have known Hathaway for a while longer; otherwise, he's no match for her at all.

I'm going to make Hathaway see for herself just what a useless man this yellow-skinned pig really is!

He began to fantasize about Hathaway showing disgust upon seeing the yellow pig's naked and pathetic appearance, then turning around and rushing into his arms.

As if confirming his fantasy, he felt a sudden weight on his hand and a tremendous pulling force.

"My goodness, another grouper! It's huge, looks like it weighs 34 pounds!"

The girls watching cheered, while Sullivan smugly began to tug at the fish.

"What should we do? This fish looks huge, it's worth seven or eight of the ones you catch," Zhang Jianing said anxiously.

Zhou Xin initially just wanted to fish casually, so he used a popper rod for catching small fish. As a result, although he has caught quite a few fish, they are all relatively small.

"Looks like I need to get a new fishing rod."

Zhou Xin was no fool; he knew that with just his ball climbing rod, it would be difficult to beat Sullivan.

If Sullivan catches one or two more big fish, even if I catch one every few minutes, I'm bound to lose.

"Edward, give me your rod!"

Edward was aiming for a big fish from the start, so he used a jig.

He seemed to be having bad luck; he was sweating profusely but hadn't caught a single fish.

"This fishing rod seems to bring bad luck. Why don't you go and pick another one from there?" Edward muttered.

Zhou Xin grabbed his rod, adjusted the iron plate at the end of the line, and said, "This is it."

Jigging is a type of lure fishing. It works by using lead and gold, or other metal, as bait, which is then dropped vertically into the sea.

Once a certain depth is reached, use the upward tug of the fishing rod while simultaneously reeling in the line to create a swimming motion at different depths, thus attracting fish to attack.

This not only tests one's skills but also one's physical strength.

People who don't know how to pull the iron plate might get exhausted after just a few tries.

Even for experienced athletes, this is still a very physically demanding activity.

Zhou Xin leaned forward and backward repeatedly while constantly turning and pulling the wheel in his hands. Before long, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhang Jianing took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I just wanted to relax, but I ended up having to put in the effort. I'm just destined to be a workaholic," Zhou Xin thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.

After pulling for a while, he suddenly felt a very strong pulling force on his arm, almost causing him to drop the fishing rod.

We caught a fish, and it's a big one!

"Xin, you've caught a big fish!" Edward could tell from Zhou Xin's strained appearance that he had landed a big catch.

"That's right, it's incredibly strong! I almost couldn't hold onto the fishing rod; it's definitely a big one!"

Zhang Jianing's face was also full of excitement. She kept wiping his sweat while nervously watching the water.

"Quick, get me the combat belt, I can't hold on much longer!"

Edward dashed back to the yacht and quickly returned with a belt.

After inserting the rod tip into his belt, Zhou Xin began a fierce struggle with the large fish underwater.

The situation here has also attracted the attention of many people.

"Looks like this guy really caught a big fish!"

"Judging by how much effort he's putting in, if he's not faking it, that fish must weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds!"

"Come on, Sullivan! Don't worry about him. You're already way ahead of him. Just one or two more fish and he's doomed!"

"That's right, how could he possibly be a match for you, a champion sea angler?"

Zhou Xin then bent over, gripping the fishing rod tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

He was also very excited, because this seemed to be the biggest fish he had ever caught.

"I can vaguely see it! My God, it's a gigantic thing!" Edward exclaimed excitedly.

Beneath the seawater, a blurry figure lurked and swam, about a meter long.

"This guy weighs at least a hundred pounds, Xin. Once you catch it, you've got it!"

Zhang Jianing beamed and cheered, "Go Zhou Xin!"

Zhou Xin looked serious and focused on competing in strength with the big fish.

Finally, after several tens of minutes of pulling with all its might, the fish surfaced.

"Oh my god, it's a mozzarella tuna! Xin, you stole my dream!" Edward shouted excitedly.

At this moment, almost everyone on the yacht was drawn to the scene.

Everyone leaned over the railing, watching in amazement at the large fish in the water.

The value of the Masu tuna is second only to that of the bluefin tuna, and its quantity is extremely rare.

Even for those who fish off the coast of Miami year-round, catching a slug requires extremely good luck.

Sullivan stared at Zhou Xin, who was stealing the spotlight, his face ashen, wishing he could rush over and push him into the sea.

"It's okay, Sullivan. It's questionable whether he can even pull this fish up. Look how exhausted he is," Anli comforted him.

At this point, Zhou Xin was indeed feeling somewhat exhausted. After all, he wasn't a professional angler and didn't have much experience dealing with such large fish.

"Xin, hang in there, I'm coming down to help you!"

After Edward finished speaking, he first asked the captain for a knife, then took off his clothes and jumped into the sea wearing only his underwear.

He swam close to the struggling fish and plunged a knife into its body.

Soon, the surrounding seawater was stained red with fish blood.

Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Well done, Edward. We need to bleed it to cool it down."

Tuna have a unique constitution; their intense struggles cause their body temperature to rise rapidly. This high temperature travels throughout their body with the flow of blood, accompanied by the dissolution of rhabdomyolysis.

This is equivalent to burning the fish, which will greatly reduce the taste.

The tuna, its blood rapidly draining away, quickly lost its strength, stopped struggling, and floated on the surface of the sea.

"This fish must weigh more than a hundred pounds, it's huge!" Edward exclaimed excitedly as he got closer to the size of the fish.
