Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Sui took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Big Bear walked over with an empty bowl, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Ah Sui, this tide will last for at most another hour."

"If we don't get a bite after an hour, we'll have to set sail for the next fishing spot."

Batu was picking his teeth with a toothpick when he heard this. He glanced outside and shrank back.

"Brother Xiong, the rain is getting heavier and the waves are high. Is it still safe to fish? Maybe we should take a break."

Big Bear waved his hand: "What's there to be afraid of in the rain? The worst thing about sea fishing is rain. Sometimes the fish are actually biting better in the rain."

"What's there to be afraid of?" another young man asked.

"I'm afraid of the wind, but even more afraid of thunder." Big Bear's expression turned serious.

"The wind and waves are too strong, the boat is rocking violently, and people who can't stand still are prone to accidents."

"As for thunder, that can be deadly."

Big Bear tapped the table and raised his voice, as if to give these novices a lesson.

"The fishing rods you have are mostly made of high-carbon material, which has extremely high conductivity."

"At sea, our ship is a protruding point. If you're holding up a carbon fiber pole, isn't that like holding up a lightning rod?"

"This has happened before. Some people didn't believe in superstitions and insisted on fishing during thunderstorms. As a result, a bolt of lightning struck, and the person turned black on the spot."

"So as soon as you hear thunder, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, you have to quickly put away your pole and obediently go back to your cabin."

Batu and the other two were stunned, their faces turning pale.

"Then...then let's not go." Batu swallowed hard. "If it really thunders later, we won't even have time to run."

"Okay, you guys rest in the restaurant, I'm going to take a stroll." Wu Sui stood up and stretched.

He didn't care about the rain or the waves; with the radar on, he knew exactly what was down there.

The group of people who rushed out just now must have stirred up the fish in the water quite a bit. Now is the perfect time to go out and pick up the fish that are missing.

Wu Sui pushed open the cabin door of the restaurant, and a gust of sea breeze mixed with rain rushed in.

The deck was bustling with activity.

Dozens of people, dressed in brightly colored raincoats, stood in a row along the ship's side, staring intently at the water, as if they were being punished.

But now the wind and waves are getting bigger, the ship is rocking, and the currents below are turbulent.

After a lot of effort, apart from a few small fish, no one caught anything big.

The bald boss wiped the rain off his face and just then saw Wu Sui walking over.

"Hey, buddy, you're full after your double-flight feast?" the bald boss shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Ah Sui, hurry up, you set an example for everyone!"

"Are all the fish down there full? Why isn't a single one biting the hook?"

"Yeah, Ah Sui, hurry up and cast your line, let us see if your hook is really that weird!" The other anglers chimed in.

Wu Sui walked happily to his fishing spot and pulled up the hood of his raincoat.

"Okay, then I'll just cast a line randomly and give it a try."

He opened the bucket of running water, scooped out a small fish, and deftly hung it on the hook.

In my mind, the system radar was already activated.

The recent barrage of bombardment scattered many of the fish below.

But in a deep pit at the edge of the reef, there was a very conspicuous blue spot of light.

The area of ​​this light spot was even larger than that of the hundred-pound giant grouper from before.

Wu Sui adjusted his position, calculated the water flow speed, and pressed the line release switch directly.

The sinker, carrying the bait, was thrown into the deep pit.

Just as the meter reached 95 meters, the fishing hook was hovering above the deep pit.

The rod suddenly started shaking violently, accompanied by the frantic sound of the electric reel pulling out line. Everything indicated that the fish below was quite large.

"Holy crap, it actually worked?!"

Someone shouted, and everyone around turned around.

Wu Sui pushed the push rod of the fully charged winch with his thumb.

To his shock, the high-powered electric winch was making an overload noise.

Not only did I not reel in much line, the spool started to turn backward, and the fishing line was shooting out wildly.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The unloading alarm sounded throughout the entire deck.

"What the hell is this thing? The electric winch won't even budge it?" The bald boss's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"This is a large shipment; it must weigh at least several tens or hundreds of kilograms."

Wu Sui gripped the rod with both hands to help stabilize it, his thighs pressed tightly against the gunwale, feeling the fishing rod still sinking downwards.

"Brother Tao, water!"

Lin Tao had just come out of the restaurant when he saw this. He didn't even bother to put on his raincoat. He grabbed a plastic bucket next to him, scooped up water, and rushed over.

A bucket of water was poured onto the electric winch, and white steam rose from its surface, which slightly reduced the burnt smell.

"Ah Sui, what's gotten into you? You're so strong."

Lin Tao was so anxious that he jumped up and down, watching the spool spinning wildly.

"The unloading can't be loosened any further, or the entire line will be wiped out."

Wu Sui gritted his teeth: "No, if we lock the drag now, either the line will break or the rod will explode."

Chen Ping also ran over, and upon seeing the scene, he immediately turned around and shouted to the surrounding anglers.

"Gentlemen, Ah Sui has hooked a huge fish! Please reel in all your rods nearby to prevent the fish from darting around and getting tangled in the lines."

In the world of sea fishing, when encountering a giant fish of this size, it's customary for everyone to help each other out.

After all, nobody wants to cause someone else to lose such a big fish that they can brag about for a lifetime because of their own actions.

"Reel it in, reel it in quickly!" The bald boss was the first to take the lead, pushing the electric reel to reel in the wire.

Without saying a word, the anglers at the dozen or so fishing spots around him packed up their rods, cleared the space, and then all swarmed around Wu Sui's back.

Time passed second by second.

On the deck amidst the wind and rain, dozens of people dared not even breathe, all staring intently at the fishing rod in Wu Sui's hand.

It has already taken a full twenty minutes.

Wu Sui has shut down the motor of the electric winch, and now it's all being cranked by hand.

After pulling back two circles, the monster below exerts its strength and sends it flying out four or five more times.

Wu Sui's arms ached as if they were filled with lead, and he was only holding on by sheer willpower.

"Ah Sui, switch hands, I'll hold it for a bit!" Lin Tao saw Wu Sui's face turn red and quickly reached out to take the pole.

"Don't move!" Wu Sui shouted, protecting the crank handle.

"This fish is too cunning. It loses strength easily when you switch hands. As soon as it catches its breath, it will definitely burrow into the crevices of the rocks!"

Just then, the giant creature below seemed to sense the danger and suddenly changed its strategy.

It had been pulling sideways in the deep water, but suddenly changed direction and headed straight for the bottom of the boat!

The tip of the rod went straight past the vertical line and bent down towards the bottom of the boat.

"Oh no, it's going to burrow under the ship!"

Big Bear rushed over carrying an oversized hook, and his expression changed drastically when he saw this scene.

This is the worst thing about sea fishing.

Once a fish gets under the boat, the fishing line will rub violently against the edge of the boat's side, and it will break in just a few seconds.

"Ah Sui, hold on! Don't let it go under the boat!" Big Bear roared.

Wu Sui had no choice but to rely on manpower and the cannon to try to use his own weight to pull the pole back.

The giant creature below, in pain, finally stopped its attempt to burrow under the ship and began to float upwards with the current.

"It had potential, but it's lost its appeal."

Lin Tao shouted excitedly and scooped up another bucket of water, ready to cool down the wheels at any time.

Taking advantage of this lull, Wu Sui frantically cranked the crank handle.

After a full forty minutes, the mermaid battle was finally coming to an end.

Wu Sui was panting heavily, rainwater mixed with sweat dripping down his chin.

"Look, water's coming out!"

Chen Ping pointed to the churning seawater outside the ship's side, his voice trembling.
