My fishing game syncs with reality

"What we can eat tonight depends on how hard you work!" Gu Nan took a golden fishing rod, put on the iron bait and threw it out.

The water where the fishing boat is located is shallow, with a depth of only more than thirty meters.

It is generally difficult to catch any big fish at this depth in China, but this may not be the case in Laochou Country.

After they exhausted the resources, they took various protective measures. After decades of development, the resources have recovered a lot.

If you are lucky, you can still catch a fish of good weight.

Gu Nan felt a little bit of novelty at this moment. After all, in a foreign country, the types of fish that could be caught in the game were limited. In reality, he should be able to unlock many new species.

The fishing rod was constantly pumped up and down, and the iron bait at the bottom of the water jumped up and down, soon attracting a big fish nearby.

It swam over quickly, scaring away the small fish nearby, then opened its big mouth and bit the iron bait.

"Oh my god, so fast?" There was no bait at all. It normally takes a long time to catch a fish by directly fishing with the iron bait.

Unexpectedly, he had just put the bait in and a fish took it after less than ten pulls.

But despite being surprised, Gu Nan reacted quickly and decisively lifted the rod to stab the fish, making the hook tighter.

The next moment, a strong pulling force was felt on the fishing rod.

"Ouch, the fish is huge!"

Gu Nan was surprised again. He didn't expect it to be such a big fish. It felt like the impact was comparable to that of a tuna weighing hundreds of pounds.

This is a reef area that is only about 30 meters deep. It is rare to see such a big fish with such a strong impact.

Judging from the reaction of the fish, it is not grouper, but probably tuna or mackerel.

"You're so fast!" Wang Junhe saw the situation on his side and teased with a smile.

"This is called the ability to control one's will. I can go fast when I want and slow down when I want." Gu Nan said unhappily. Who was he implying?

I guarantee that this middle-aged man will be envious and jealous if I show you my achievements.

While he was talking, the fish had already run fifty meters away. Without Gu Nan's force, the fishing rod was obviously unable to restrain the fish.

Running too far would be a waste of time, so Gu Nan lifted up the fishing rod to slow down the release of the fishing line, but the fishing reel emitted a squeaking unloading alarm.

Fortunately, this is a set of equipment for fishing big fish, so it is easy to catch this fish that is suspected to weigh 100 kilograms.

What followed was a stalemate between the two sides. The fish wanted to run away, but Gu Nan didn't let it go any further.

After three or four minutes, the fish seemed to realize that it could not escape, so it changed its approach and began to try to clean its gills.

This caused the fishing rod to shake violently suddenly. Gu Nan also knew the fish's behavior. He was just about to raise the rod to stab the fish again, but he saw a silvery-white fish rushing out of the water about sixty or seventy meters ahead.

It didn't jump very high, but it was just as ferocious. After jumping out of the water, it shook its head and tail wildly, twisting its body in such a coquettish way that even women could twist as well as it did.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a silver carp with extremely high pulling strength!
Gu Nan knew this guy. He had seen foreigners fishing for silver carp in videos, and they were very big.

He immediately became interested, as silver carp is an excellent sport fish and one of the favorites of enthusiasts.

Financially well-off enthusiasts never fish for food; they just like the thrill of the fight.

Silver carp is ferocious enough, has strong pulling force, and has an impressive record. How can it not be popular?

"What kind of fish is that? It looks a bit like a silver carp." Guo Xiao happened to see it from his side and asked.

"It's a silver carp, but it's from this side and it's quite big." Gu Nan replied.

This is a special offshore fish in the Atlantic Ocean. It can grow up to 2.4 meters long and weigh 322 kilograms.

Gu Nan's figure can only be considered medium in size, not particularly large, and the length is estimated to be over 1.5 meters and under 1.8 meters.

Having caught so many big fish, he can be considered a veteran with rich experience.

By the pulling force and the appearance of the fish, you can roughly guess the weight and length of the fish.

This type of sea bream looks a bit like a black carp, and is also long and narrow, but its body is wider and thicker, which increases its weight.

The first time he cleaned the gills, Gu Nan simply raised the fishing rod to make sure the hook was tight.

As a result, the silver carp seemed to have sensed the sweetness and did it again.

Gu Nan didn't give him a chance this time. The fishing line and rod were strong enough, so he simply pulled the rod back with force and grabbed the handle to reel in the line frantically.

The fish was stunned by his force, and without any reaction, the fishing line was directly harvested for about 20 meters. Then it reacted and struggled frantically again.

Unlike tuna, silver carp particularly likes to jump out of the water to wash its gills.

Having suffered a loss once, it obviously did not remember the lesson and came back for the third time.

Gu Nan was not polite and continued to raise the fishing rod and reel in the line.

After two consecutive violent drags, the fish was put in a passive position and the fishing line was successfully brought within 40 meters. Now everyone could see more clearly.

Wang Junhe fished for a long time without any fish, so he simply put the fishing rod on the side of the boat and moved closer to him.

"Anan, how does this tarpon taste?"

"It doesn't taste good. You'd better go catch your grouper. It's just so-so when used to make fish balls." Gu Nan shook his head decisively.

He is very picky now and won't eat fish that tastes ordinary.

He had checked the flavor level of this tarpon before, and it was only two stars, which was almost the same as the GT Niugang Haima.

"What a pity!" When Wang Junhe heard that the fish was not tasty, he shook his head and stopped paying attention to it, and went back to continue fishing for his grouper.

Gu Nan also continued. The fish, which had been confused twice, quickly consumed its energy due to multiple jumps. Also, the fishing rod had a special effect. In the end, the fish weighing over 100 pounds only lasted for more than ten minutes before being pulled to the side of the boat by Gu Nan.

However, the fish was pulled back, and its strength was not completely exhausted. It came to the side of the boat, and seemed to think it was about to die, and began to struggle violently again, splashing the sea water high.

Gu Nan dodged in time with his back legs, but Guo Xiao next to him didn't expect Yu to do this.

He wiped his face speechlessly: "If you can't eat it, why did you catch it?"

"Isn't this a new variety? Let's take a picture as a souvenir!" Gu Nan said with a smile.

A fish, a record. It’s so hard to come abroad, so I can’t miss it.

"Okay, you control the fish and I'll help you get it up." Guo Xiao didn't get much, so he simply went to get the noose from the crane and helped get the fish onto the boat.

To take pictures, you always have to hold the baby in your arms.

Gu Nan had no intention of going into the water, so he could only catch the fish.

Because we need to release them into the wild, it is a bit troublesome to get them up.

Guo Xiao tried several times but failed to catch the fish's tail. Finally, after struggling for most of the day and waiting until the fish had completely exhausted all its strength, he finally caught it.

Taking photos as a souvenir, the two people who had just complained that the fish was inedible now really liked it and took photos while holding the fish.

Even though they didn't catch the fish, just because Gu Nan didn't say anything didn't stop them from finding opportunities to show off.

Just like women like to show off their lives and their beautiful photos, men like to show off their cars, boats, and fish. Isn’t this normal?

After taking the photos, release the fish.

Gu Nan changed the fishing line and bait and started fishing for dinner.

The resources in the reef area are very good, and it is easy to get some food. It’s just that I didn’t bring diving equipment, otherwise it would be more convenient for Gu Nan to go down and take a spear gun and shoot a few times.

After successfully catching two groupers, a snapper and two parrotfish, they put away their fishing rods, took out the barbecue grill and started preparing dinner.

Of course, the food is not just fish, there are also various meats, vegetables and drinks.

We were at sea, and someone would have to steer the boat. Besides, it would be meaningless to drink with one person, so we didn't drink.

Moreover, they did not plan to go back at night, and planned to go night fishing and continue fishing for blue marlin.

In the setting sun, Gu Nan used tools to pick up a piece of processed grouper and grilled it on the charcoal fire.

He was going to make a classic grilled fish, and the big pot for the fish was ready.

An Jun, Wang Jun and the others also showed off their skills, some were making hot pot, some were making braised dishes, but Guo Xiao's was the simplest, making sea bream sashimi.

The assistants had the worst job, as they had the most work to do. They had to cut all kinds of meat into small pieces, skewer them and grill them. Five grown men had big appetites, especially Gu Nan, who was a big eater, so it took them half a day to finish the job.

With more people around, things can go faster. Half an hour later, several people had already started eating.

Drinking drinks, eating barbecue and watching others fishing is quite an experience.

That's right, a fishing boat came near them. The other party caught a big catch and drove the boat along the way following the fish to a place not far from them.

The contestants on that boat were quite surprised to see them enjoying the barbecue. Which contestant could be so leisurely at this moment?

Oh? Number 88?
That’s okay!

I completed a challenge that no one else could surpass on the first day. How could I not be happy living this life!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's not good. He only lasted a few minutes before he had to change people. Look at our hunk. He caught more than 1,600 pounds of fish by himself."

Wang Junhe looked through the telescope for a while and joked with a smile.

Guo Xiao also held a telescope and said with a smile: "You must be joking. With just a few of those guys on the boat, Anan can beat ten of them by himself."

Gu Nan's mouth twitched when he heard this. You guys can just watch and chat, why are you bringing him up?

After an hour or so, the sun was already half below the sea level, and the fishing boat not far away finally caught the fish on board.

Because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear the cheers from the other side, but from their excited clapping and the size of the fish, I knew they had a good harvest this time and caught a very nice blue marlin.

"Of course, that fish with its long beak is almost as tall as two people. It must weigh several hundred kilograms." Wang Junhe said in surprise.

They didn't expect that right next to them, a group of players successfully got a blue marlin that had a good chance of making it into the top three.

“Why don’t we go back and take a look?” Gu Nan was also curious. He wanted to see how big the fish was.

According to the records of previous competitions, basically if you weigh over 500 pounds, there is a great chance that you will be in the top three.

The fish have become smaller over the years, so the first player to catch a 500-pound blue marlin will receive an additional bonus.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, let's go take a look." Everyone in the group agreed.

It would be fine if it was a small fish or I didn’t see it, but since I found that a group of players had caught a big one, I naturally had to go and take a look.

There are still a few days left, and they wouldn't mind getting some more bonuses.

The contestant who caught the fish celebrated for a while, then sailed back to register the blue marlin he caught.

Soon, the two ships returned to the dock one after another.

There are quite a few fishing boats returning at this time, and there are already dozens of boats docked at the pier.

Today is already the second day. There will always be a lucky one among the more than 300 boats. The organizers have received dozens of blue marlins one after another.

The ranking list has been updated dozens of times today, but Gu Nan's record of more than 1,600 pounds is firmly ranked first, with almost no possibility of being surpassed.

Who let him cheat?
Many novels have shown that even the son of luck cannot compare to those with a system.

As soon as Gu Nan and his friends got off the boat, they heard exclamations from the crowd.

Apparently the Blue Marlin on the boat in front of them had surprised a group of people.

Gu Nan and others hurried over to see what was going on. The closer they looked, the clearer they found that the fish was indeed almost two people tall.

The staff weighed and measured the fish, which was three meters and sixty-three centimeters long and weighed five hundred and forty-two pounds.

That was good luck, it was just over 500 pounds.

Over 500 pounds and under 500 pounds are two completely different worlds. Blue marlin weighing more than 400 pounds is not particularly difficult to catch, and the quantity is still good.

But those that weigh over 500 pounds are extremely rare. With so many choices in each competition, the number of blue marlins that can be caught that weigh over 500 pounds is often no more than ten.

In a less fortunate season, the number may not exceed five.

In a competition with at least 200 fishing boats, the fact that there were less than five fish caught shows that fish of this size are rare enough.

Gu Nan and others looked at the ranking list, and sure enough, this fish weighing more than 540 pounds jumped to second place.

Although the ranking is not stable yet, it is definitely in the top ten.

Although the prize money after third place is less, it is better than only getting a consolation prize after tenth place.

"Go out to sea or go back to the hotel?" After watching the excitement and the crowd dispersed, Wang Junhe looked at everyone and asked.

Gu Nan spread his hands: "I don't care!"

An Jun said, "Just keep fishing! The first prize went to An Nan, and I want to try and get some prize money too."

"Since we're here, we have to try and see if we can get anything out of it!"

The fish he catches belongs to him, and if he succeeds in getting a place, the prize money belongs to him.

But if you are in the first three, then you will have to share the daily expenses of this trip to the Ugly Country.

But compared to the prize money, even for the third place, these daily expenses are just a drop in the bucket.

"Okay, since you want to fish, let's go and spend the night on the sea!" An Jun wanted to fish, Wang Jun and I also wanted to fish, and Guo Xiao didn't have any objections, so they all went back to the boat and went out to sea again.

"Anan, why don't you come look for fish? I think you're lucky and will definitely find something." After the boat sailed for a while, Wang Junhe gave his seat to Gu Nan.

"Okay, let's see my luck!" Gu Nan was also curious. Under normal circumstances without using any cheats, would he be lucky enough to win a place in the competition?
As long as the fish is not big enough above the King level, he can catch it without driving a boat.

After wandering around the sea for a long time, I actually found a few thick red lines on the fish finder.

"We've found the fish, let's start fishing." Gu Nan stopped the boat and went out fishing with them instead of being idle.

An Jun has his own thoughts about the bonus, and he also has thoughts about the remaining bonus, but he is not so eager about it. (End of this chapter)
