Gu Hongyu was very satisfied with the fish he caught, but he had not yet met Mei Ning's requirements, so he put a seven or eight jin big fish into the net bag and threw the fishing rod into the sea far away.

"Young man, I can't believe that this skill of casting the rod is not something that ordinary people can practice. Do you like sea fishing?" The old man who generously gave him the bait asked with great interest.

Gu Hongyu was very grateful to him and immediately said with a smile: "Haha, to be honest, this is my first time to go sea fishing."

"Impossible, how can I catch so many different kinds of sea fish in the first time..."

"Young man, you are making fun of us!"

"Young people nowadays can tell lies without blushing, unlike us when we were young and just dating, even touching hands requires a lot of courage, and we are still nervous for a long time!"

"This guy looks honest, but he is too dishonest when he speaks."

"..."

Gu Hongyu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that telling the truth would cause rebuttals from many fishing friends around him.

It seems that the speed of fishing just now scared these people. Anyone with a normal mind would not believe that someone who went sea fishing for the first time could catch so many fish, even if he was lucky. Such a result is probably lower than the chance of winning the lottery.

In the eyes of many fishing friends, Gu Hongyu must be a sea fisherman for many years, and he has mastered a fishing technique that others don't know. Only in this way can they understand, otherwise how embarrassing it is for them to catch fish with Gu Hongyu.

Facing everyone's suspicion, Gu Hongyu smiled again and said: "I really didn't deceive you. This is really my first time to fish in the sea. Before, I only fished on the surface of the lake at most!"

Gu Hongyu's sea fishing results also deeply shocked Mei Ning, but at this time she also explained: "I can testify. He really has never fished in the sea before, and even the number of times he has been to the seaside can be counted on one hand."

"Ah, is it really purely luck that he caught so many fish?"

"There is nothing special about the bait he used. It was all borrowed from Lao Zhang. You see, Lao Zhang used the same bait as him, but he didn't catch many fish. It's really strange!"

"Young man, you must have a trick in fishing, right?"

Just when the onlookers were talking and asking, Gu Hongyu didn't speak, but was struggling with a fish under the water.

Gu Hongyu's unique fishing secret is to use his mental power to penetrate through the surface of the seawater to the bottom of the sea, and everything below is within his observation.

This is a cliff. Although it is right by the sea, the shallowest place is more than ten meters, and the farther away may be thirty or fifty meters. There is really a fish nest below. All kinds of marine fish can be seen in it.

While wondering why there are no fishing boats coming to fish here when the fishery resources are good, Gu Hongyu set his sights on a grouper.

Grouper is rich in nutrition, with tender and white meat, similar to chicken, and is known as "sea chicken". It is also a low-fat, high-protein, high-quality edible fish, and is recommended by Hong Kong and Macao as one of the four famous fishes in China.

Their body shape characteristics are similar. Generally, the body is medium-long, flattened, and colorful. There are many variations, often brown or red. It also has stripes and spots, a large mouth, fine and sharp teeth, some of which are enlarged into canine teeth, and the dorsal and anal fins have very developed hard spines.

There are many fish species along the coast of my country and in the waters of the Xisha Islands and the Nansha Islands. They are important economic fish species of large and medium-sized warm-water marine products.

This fish likes quietness and fears waves, likes warmth and fears cold, likes clear water and fears turbidity. It is often seen at a depth of 10-15 meters on the seabed, especially in rocky caves and coral areas.

This is a grouper. Judging from the information fed back by the spirit, it is quite large. Compared with other ordinary fish, Gu Hongyu has already looked down on it. Now that grouper has been targeted.

The fishing line in the sea water seems to be pulled by an invisible force to the vicinity of the grouper. This is Gu Hongyu using his skills to move the fishing line.

The grouper is a ferocious fish on the seabed. It is aggressive, especially the shells and other small fish living on the seabed will be attacked by them, which are also their main food.

The things the old man prepared for sea fishing were very professional. The bait for fishing was a kind of sandworm that grows in the sea. When Gu Hongyu led the bait to the grouper, this guy didn't think it was a trap, and fell into Gu Hongyu's calculation without any surprise.

When the fish was hooked, the pulling force was very strong. Gu Hongyu had brute force but didn't dare to pull the fishing line to death. Fishing is a technical job, and the fish caught is not small. If you pull it with brute force, it is easy to break the fishing line. If the fishing line is strong, it is possible that the hook will be pulled directly out of the mouth of the fish being caught, and the fish will run away, so you have to slowly reel the fish in.

Looking at Gu Hongyu's appearance, the onlookers who were still discussing just now began to marvel at Gu Hongyu's catching a fish. Even the one who asked Gu Hongyu what fishing skills he had shut up very tactfully, and all of them saved up their strength for Gu Hongyu.

The grouper under the water was very fierce and not small in size. Gu Hongyu guessed that it might be more than ten pounds.

The fish he was pulling kept jumping up and down in the water, looking very wild.

Gu Hongyu sometimes loosened the fishing line a little, and sometimes held it tightly to prevent the fish from running away and losing control. It was a tug-of-war.

The onlookers didn't know that Gu Hongyu had caught a big fish, and they immediately started to discuss it.

"Guys, what do you think this guy caught this time?"

"Haha, there are many kinds of fish in this sea area, how can I know, but I know it's a big one."

"Then let's all guess how many catties this guy caught?"

"Why are you addicted to gambling again, Lao Wang? You like to try everything!"

"Let's bet, I guess this guy caught 15 catties of fish, what do you think?"

"Hey, Lao Wang, you are smart this time, I was just thinking of guessing this number!"

"Haha, I'll say it first, you say another weight!" The man called Lao Wang smiled triumphantly.

"Then I'll guess 12 catties."

"I guess within 10 catties."

"Since you don't dare to guess too much, I guess it's 18 catties."

In the end, most people decided on the number they guessed. Finally, they looked at Gu Hongyu.

The grouper was also tricked by Gu Hongyu for almost 20 minutes, and is still struggling.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Gu Hongyu estimated that the fish did not have much strength, so he slowly began to reel in the fishing line and stopped relaxing. Sure enough, the fish did not struggle very hard during this period. Under Gu Hongyu's control, the whole fish gradually moved towards the shore.

"Damn. I just saw this fish emerge from the water. If I am not mistaken, it is a grouper. It is a big one, at least ten kilograms."

Lao Wang smiled: "This time I guessed fifteen kilograms should be the closest to the weight of the fish."

"It's still uncertain. The fish is still in the water. Everyone just saw its outline." Others did not admit defeat.

These people are fishing friends who have been together for many years. They are very familiar with each other. It's no problem to joke around. It's called a bet, but there is actually no punishment even if you lose. At most, they smoke a few cigarettes, and then sigh that the tea is not bad. Ask him to bring some next time you go fishing, and someone else prepares bait, etc., which are not elegant practices.

Why did Gu Hongyu know all these things? It was all thanks to the old man who lent him bait. This man was very outgoing. He kept chatting with Gu Hongyu while he was fishing, and was also asking about Gu Hongyu's background and identity.

"Hurry up. That guy, I haven't seen anyone catch such a big grouper for a long time?" The grouper struggled the most when Gu Hongyu lifted it out of the water. But the people next to him were quick to take the scoop net.

A fishing friend picked up the scoop net with one hand and caught the grouper and dragged it to the shore. The fish might be really exhausted, and it lay in the scoop net motionless as soon as it got ashore.

The betting Lao Wang immediately shouted: "Good fellow, use the scale to see how heavy this fish is?"

The grouper weighed 23 jin, but this did not include the scoop net. The owner of the scoop net immediately said: "The handle of the fishing net weighs 6 jin in total. So the net weight of this fish is 17 jin."

"Haha, Lao Wang, you didn't guess right again this time?" The people around him joked with Lao Wang.

In fact, Lao Wang's guess was very accurate, only two jin off, but someone guessed that the fish was 18 jin, so the angler who guessed 18 jin won.

Lao Wang did not feel upset about losing the bet. Instead, he looked at the grouper and said, "A 17-jin guy, this fish must be worth tens of thousands, right?"

"Your catch today is really rich, all his fish plus 30,000 yuan is definitely worth it."

"Why don't I have such luck?"

"Looking at this guy's catch, we can't help but admit it!"

Gu Hongyu ignored everyone's discussion and turned to look at Mei Ning, who was very curious about the grouper, and said, "Xiao Ning, this fish should be the biggest one caught nearby today, you must promise me not to worry anymore!"

"Well, thanks to your care these days, I have figured it out this afternoon. That person will have no contact with us in the future. I feel at ease with you by my side." Mei Ning said happily with a smile.

Gu Hongyu scratched his upturned nose and said cheerfully: "That's right, there is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome, don't be afraid as I am with you."

No longer talking about these sad topics, Mei Ning pointed to the scoop net and the net bag pressed in the water and said: "Hongyu, we caught so many fish today, what should we do?"

"We must thank the gentleman who lent us the bait, just give him a big fish, as for the other fish, didn't we drive here, don't we pack them all back and eat them, don't we have Lin Yuantao and others?" Gu Hongyu made a decision instantly.
