I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 57: The Passionate Scene

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Passionate Scene

But right now, the water surface still had the waves left by the giant creature that had just rolled.

Liao Xuexue was dumbfounded at this moment.

As Ye Chen’s assistant, she should have been the one to net the fish.

But having seen the waves just now, she also understood.

If Mr. Ye had caught a small fish weighing a few pounds, she would have helped to net the fish.

But obviously, the waves that had just surfaced were huge, akin to terrifying torrents.

A preliminary estimate was that the length of the fish was at least over three meters!

Even Liao Xuexue, a layman in fishing, could tell that the fish Ye Chen caught this time was not small.

Not to mention the fishing enthusiasts on the shore!

For a moment, the crowd that was packing up their fishing gear ready to leave, immediately stopped their actions and became busy.

They were probably worried that a single net wouldn’t be able to haul up this giant creature.

Two old men immediately brought out their own nets, ready to join hands with Ye Chen to get the creature ashore.

At the same time, led by old man Liao, several old men approached and grabbed Ye Chen, helping to stabilize his body.

Although fishing rods are flexible, and the fishing rod Ye Chen bought was top-notch,

if the fish in the water are too strong, several situations could occur.

One is a line snap, which means the fishing rod is of good quality, but the fishing line’s flexibility is not enough, resulting in the line being snapped by the fish.

Another is a rod snap, where the flexibility of the fishing rod is insufficient and is directly pulled taut by the big fish in the water.

There is also the situation where the fishing rod is dragged into the water by the fish. This generally happens when the angler does not hold the rod tightly.

The above three situations are unlikely to happen to Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen just earned a reward of two hundred thousand yesterday.

He updated his fishing gear with this money, which is guaranteed in quality.

Thus, everyone needed to prevent Ye Chen from losing grip of his fishing rod and even being dragged into the water with it.

After all, such a situation had happened before.

Some anglers, despite not having enough strength to pull the fish ashore,

were reluctant to give up their fishing rods.

Eventually, it led to an incident of "the fish catching the man"...

No matter how strong a person is, they are not a match for a giant creature in the water.

To prevent such a situation from happening to Ye Chen, seven or eight old men gathered around him.

Some helped Ye Chen pull the rod, while others held his waist from behind to help him keep balance.

What surprised everyone was.

At this moment, Ye Chen clenched the fishing rod with both hands, gritted his teeth, his face fierce.

He did not look relaxed at all.

But he still tried his best to steady the rod, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Thank you, everyone, but let me handle it myself!"

Initially, people thought Ye Chen was just showing off, but soon they realized.

Even without their help, although Ye Chen’s expression was somewhat fierce, he stood like a mountain, unmovable.

Even when the fishing rod was bent into a terrifying curve by the giant creature in the water, Ye Chen’s hands were still tightly gripping the fishing rod.

At this point, it was time for Ye Chen to compete in strength with the creature in the water.

This scene also fired up the audience in the live stream room.

Previously, everyone had joked that Ye Chen was the "air force commander" because he could catch anything but fish.

But when they saw on their phone screens Ye Chen struggling alone against the giant creature in the water, they couldn’t help but be impressed by his charisma.

"Damn, this fishing rod is awesome, it can actually bend to such a degree!"

"I guess the tuning of this fishing rod is very good. I’m familiar with Ye Chen’s rod; it’s not cheap, and it’s adjusted to be quite stiff, which allows it to bend like this. I think it’s because the creature in the water is just too big!"

"Looking at how hard Ye Chen is struggling, I guess that fish in the water must be over 200 pounds!"

"Are you kidding? I also watched yesterday’s live stream where the streamer caught a body close to 200 pounds. Why didn’t the fishing rod bend like this then?"

"Buddy, the body was motionless in the water, but fish are lively and jump around, can you compare? Didn’t you see the fishing rod’s curve constantly changing? That’s the fish and Ye Chen wrestling for power!"

"I think so too, don’t think that catching a fish over 200 pounds is rare. The biggest freshwater fish ever caught in our country weighed around 180 pounds!"

"Ye Chen has really gone big this time, he either catches nothing or breaks records!"

"Amazing, usually professional anglers who want to catch big creatures have to stake out for a long time. It seems that Ye Chen, who’s usually ’air force’, is about to end his streak of no catches!"

"Hahaha, now I hope Ye Chen breaks his rod or snaps his line, as a long time fan, I really don’t want him to actually catch a fish!"

"Ye Chen catching a fish now, marks the end of my youth!"

...

Inside the police car, Zhou Tao and his colleague were intently watching the phone screen.

Their feelings were just like those of the viewers in the live stream room, tense at this moment.

Since Zhou Tao’s colleague was not particularly knowledgeable about fishing, he watched while asking, "Captain Zhou, do you think this guy can pull that big fish out of the water?"

Zhou Tao furrowed his brow and slowly said, "It’s hard to say, catching big fish places high demands on the fishing equipment."

Feeling his colleague’s astonishment, Zhou Tao changed to a simpler explanation,

"Let’s put it this way."

"You could think of it, that Ye Chen is currently in a tug of war with that big fish in the water."

"And the fishing rod, fishing line, and fish hook, are like the rope used in tug of war."

"When both sides are exerting great force, if the rope isn’t good quality, it can only be torn apart."

"A professional angler’s gear, including the fish hook, fishing line, and fishing rod, will be appropriately adjusted according to the different types of fish they want to catch."

"Looking at it now, this kid’s fishing gear should have no problems and can hold up."

"So, during this tug of war, when the rope is tough enough, it’s a competition of strength between the two sides."

"A tug of war is more about enduring strength."

"Fishing is also the same."

"Right now, Ye Chen and the fish in the river are both competing in strength, that’s why the fishing rod is tense."

"But as time goes by, if Ye Chen’s strength is exhausted, it could result in him not being able to hold the fishing rod steady, or not being able to stand steadily, leading to the fishing rod slipping from his hands, or even him and the rod getting dragged into the water together."
