As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 409 - Chapter 409 Chapter 295 Swordfish Seizing Food_4

Chapter 409: Chapter 295: Swordfish Seizing Food_4 Chapter 409: Chapter 295: Swordfish Seizing Food_4 This cost is nothing compared to the size of the swordfish we just caught.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t rest after getting out the bait; he reeled back in the rod Jiang Luoluo had let go of and then put away his own rod.

He took both rods and hurried back to the toolroom, returning with the heavy boat rods used for catching big fish.

The fishing line and such had already been prepared when they were fishing for bluefin tuna; now all he had to do was to attach the lead sinker and big fish hook.

One thing about sea fishing, the consumption of fish hooks and some small accessories is not insignificant.

After securing the fish hooks, Chu Mingcheng saw that the frozen bait would take a while to thaw, so he simply chose a smaller white gindai for Jiang Luoluo to cut into two with the fish-killing knife.

Then he took half of the fish, hung it on the fish hook, and tossed it directly into the water. If the golden spearfish were attracted back by the scent of fish, they definitely wouldn’t miss this half of white gindai.

Luckily, they had caught so many white gindai tonight. If they hadn’t had any and suddenly encountered these incredibly fast-moving golden spearfish, they would probably have been ready only to find the fish had already vanished.

Jiang Luoluo didn’t continue to destroy the white gindai but instead started chopping bait.

The butcher knife chopped viciously into the clumped-together bait; ice and bits of meat instantly flew everywhere.

“Meow meow meow…” Because Chu Mingcheng had forgotten to close the door when he took the rod, Little Heiye ran out from the cabin.

But no sooner had it emerged than it saw Jiang Luoluo’s ferocious chopping of the bait with one blow after another.

Little Heiye was so terrified that it immediately let out a sharp scream, peed on the spot, and trembled while backing away on its little legs.

Jiang Luoluo couldn’t help but laugh and cry, getting up to shoo it back inside.

But as soon as she stood up, Little Heiye bolted back into the cabin without looking back, its cries sorrowful all the way, as if it had been traumatized eight hundred times over.

“Great, Little Heiye’s trauma won’t be erased in this lifetime!” Chu Mingcheng said exasperatedly as he picked up a water hose to wash away the mess Little Heiye had left behind.

“It’s your fault for not closing the door.” Jiang Luoluo closed the door to the cabin and continued chopping the bait, “It’s good to give Little Heiye a scare, he’s too mischievous.”

Chu Mingcheng nodded his head in agreement, feeling that someone in the family needed to be fierce.

Afterward, he took the chopped bait that Jiang Luoluo had prepared and started to scatter it into the water by the handful.

Fishing for bluefin tuna or marlin was no different; they both required a large amount of bait to attract them.

Having scattered only one bucket, there was still no movement from the rods.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo put down the butcher knife and flex her wrist, Chu Mingcheng took the knife and said, “Luoluo, you scatter the bait, I’ll do the chopping!”

“Okay.”

After they switched, Chu Mingcheng chopped the bait at a rapid pace, and in the same amount of time, Jiang Luoluo had scattered two buckets of bait. Along with the earlier one, they had probably scattered around fifty or sixty pounds in total.

But no matter how sizable fifty or sixty pounds may sound, in the water, it just created a small bait ball.

Sometimes tuna fishermen scatter hundreds of pounds or even more bait to attract the fish; it’s quite commonplace.

Without such a huge bait ball, how could the tuna possibly be lured over?

After three buckets of bait, neither of them stopped but continued silently with their tasks.

However, Jiang Luoluo could now scatter less bait as the bait ball had formed and there was no need to continue scattering large amounts, which would just be wasteful.

But just at that moment, a “squeak squeak squeak” sounded abruptly. It was the sound of the fishing line being pulled from the reel, forcing the drag to turn hastily.

Jiang Luoluo, quick to react, threw down her bucket and immediately grabbed the fishing rod, which had bent into a crescent shape, and lifted it with force. She also took hold of the handle that was being forcefully turned in reverse.

“Creak creak~”

The rod was under unprecedented pressure, and the fishing line seemed at its limit, trembling constantly, with the water droplets on it all shattered into a mist.

Jiang Luoluo’s face turned bright red with the strain, a pressure she had never experienced before.

Thankfully, in the next moment, she was surrounded by strong arms as Chu Mingcheng arrived in time to help from behind.

He took hold of the rod to relieve some of Jiang Luoluo’s pressure and opened the drag slightly to reduce the strain, releasing some pressure from the reel.

“Luoluo, help me hold the rod; I need to take it out of the fishing hole.”

Chu Mingcheng, judging from the condition of the line and rod, could tell that the fish they had hooked was no smaller than the swordfish they had caught before.

Certainly, even a bluefin tuna that fetched seven hundred thousand hadn’t had this much impact.

He wanted to take the rod out of the fishing hole to quickly exhaust the fish’s energy.

Otherwise, one thousand meters of line would not withstand the fish’s struggle, and the Sea God was too big to chase after the fish like the small boats did previously.

Therefore, they had to rely on manpower to fight the big fish, and with Jiang Luoluo’s help, Chu Mingcheng believed they could successfully reel it in.
