As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 188 - 169: Battling with the Golden Spear (5K)_3

Chapter 188 -169: Battling with the Golden Spear (5K)_3

“Having over 150 pounds is pretty impressive, okay? I had never even seen a hundred-pound catch before I met you.”

“Haha, you’ll be seeing them every day from now on, and I bet it won’t be long before you get used to it.”

The remaining strength of the fish was no longer very great, allowing Chu Mingcheng to relax a lot and start talking to Jiang Luoluo.

If it had been earlier, he couldn’t have afforded to relax.

At this moment, Jiang Luoluo and Wei Jiaguo on either side were also making a ruckus as each had hooked a big fish.

“Luoluo, don’t take the fishing rod down yet, try to pull it so the fish doesn’t run towards my side or under the boat.”

Jiang Luoluo didn’t respond; she was holding her breath!

This breath couldn’t be let go, or else the fishing line could easily be pulled out for hundreds of meters.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t too worried about Wei Jiaguo on the other side, as the latter had much more experience than him.

But with Jiang Luoluo getting a bite, it made his heart race, and he quickly sped up the reeling in process.

Even so, the fishing line had already been pulled out by over three hundred meters earlier, and now it would take quite some time to reel it back in.

During this time, the fish burst out occasionally, but he managed to withstand them all.

The biggest impact of improved physical fitness was not strength, but having enough stamina.

Under his full effort in reeling, what was initially estimated to take over two hours, the gigantic golden spearfish was pulled beside the boat in just an hour and a half.

Wei Jiaguo was also busy now, so Chu Mingcheng had no choice but to ask the crew members to help hold the fishing rod.

The crew members hadn’t expected to get this treatment while doing odd jobs and quickly took over the fishing rod excitedly, pulling the fish to prevent it from escaping.

But the fish was too big and still restless by the boat side, causing their faces to turn beet red in just a short time.

Chu Mingcheng then picked up a fish spear—not his fishing spear, but a long spear resembling a harpoon, specially used for hunting large fish pulled up beside the boat.

He stood by the ship’s rail, lifted the fish spear, and observed the fish’s movements.

Now with rich fishing and hunting experience, he clearly anticipated the trajectory of the golden spearfish in the water.

Seeing the right moment, he thrust the lifted fish spear forcefully into the water, striking it right into the middle of the fish’s side, specifically on the spine.

Having successfully hit the fish, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was still a chance for the fish to escape when pulled beside the boat, but unfortunately for the fish, being struck by the spear meant it lost its last chance.

He looped a rope from the winch around the fish’s tail, opened the small side door at the back of the boat, started the winch, and pulled the yellowfin golden spearfish onto the boat.

Next, Chu Mingcheng suddenly exclaimed because he discovered the golden spearfish had a separate data panel, which surprisingly did not belong to the “High-quality Aquatic Products Atlas.”

But he still had things to do, so he didn’t research further and decided to leave it until later.

“Do you know how to bleed the golden spearfish?” he asked the crew member.

The crew member nodded, “I do; it’s just like with the red snapper. I’ve dealt with many red snappers before.”

“All right, you help with bleeding this fish.” Chu Mingcheng handed the fish over to the crew member and hurried to help Jiang Luoluo.

She was quite tired by now. Even though the fishing rod hadn’t been removed from the fishing hole, she still needed to hold onto the fishing rod to counter the fish’s strength, and either reel in the line or prevent the fish from running further away.

All these activities required a lot of effort, and it was only because Jiang Luoluo had been dancing for years, which gave her a much stronger body compared to ordinary women, otherwise she might have gotten tired in just a few minutes, let alone hold on for several tens of minutes!

Wei Jiaguo was doing okay, with two boatmen helping him on the side, so there were no problems.

“Luoluo, do you need me to help you?”

“Mmm~” Jiang Luoluo stepped aside and shook her right hand, “My hand is so sore, I didn’t realize fishing for Golden Spearfish was so strenuous.”

“It’s mainly because you’re not used to it. Once you get the hang of it, you might be able to catch a large Golden Spearfish by yourself.”

That was easy to say, but normally, fishing for Golden Spearfish required two to three people taking turns.

If an ordinary adult were to catch one by themselves, they’d almost need a rest afterward and wouldn’t think about continuing to fish.

Having already caught one Golden Spearfish, Chu Mingcheng found fishing the second one slightly easier.

One reason was that the fish seemed not as big as his previous one, and secondly, he had gained some understanding of the fish’s movements.

As the fish burst into action again, Chu Mingcheng hurriedly yelled, “Luoluo, hold on to me, the fish is powering up.”

“Oh oh oh!” Jiang Luoluo quickly wrapped her arms around his waist, together handling the fish’s burst of energy.

When the fish tired, Chu Mingcheng stepped aside from the fishing spot, “The fish is tired, Luoluo, come quick.”

Jiang Luoluo hurried forward, holding the fishing rod with one hand and turning the crank handle with the other.

However, Chu Mingcheng stuck close behind her, both of them grabbing the fishing rod and reeling in together.

Jiang Luoluo herself didn’t think much of it; instead, she looked up at him and flashed a sweet smile.

But the others on the boat couldn’t bear to watch, each turning away with disdain.

Pfft! Shameless couple! Just fish, why the sweet display!

With their cooperation, and because the fish was slightly smaller, they finally managed to pull the fish to the side of the boat forty minutes later.

“Luoluo, do you want to try stabbing the fish?”

“I might not be able to do it,” Jiang Luoluo lacked confidence, worried her attempt might let the fish escape instead of hitting it.

“No worries, give it a try, and if it really doesn’t work then I’ll take over.”

“Alright then.” Jiang Luoluo picked up the harpoon and aimed.

Chu Mingcheng held the fishing rod steady, trying to keep the fish calm.

“Whoosh~” Jiang Luoluo took her chance and thrust the harpoon down, but unfortunately missed, which startled the fish.

Startled, the fish attempted to dive under the boat. Chu Mingcheng quickly leaned over the side, dipping the rod tip into the water to avoid the line scratching against the boat and breaking.

This position made it hard to exert force, and his face turned red as he struggled to pull the fish back out.

Fortunately, it wasn’t one of those high-bodied fishing boats which would have been more troublesome.

“Ah Cheng, maybe you should do it,” Concerned that Chu Mingcheng was in the water struggling continuously, Jiang Luoluo no longer dared and quickly handed over the harpoon to him.

“It’s okay, try one more time. This fish is completely out of energy now, you can do it.” If he really switched places with her now, it would be too discouraging for her.

Thus, Chu Mingcheng encouraged Jiang Luoluo to continue.
