Chapter 1113: Chapter 573: Miracles Are Everywhere

"Quick, call someone over, call Yan Fei..." At the bow, the Fifth Young Master Guo and the Third Young Master Guo were gripping the fishing rod together, still excited and urging others to call more people. While shouting, they didn’t forget to show off their extensive theoretical knowledge. "A fish in water is much stronger than a human. It’s said that a fish can exert several times its body weight in strength... Don’t pull too hard, fish need to be reeled in slowly in the water, you need to play the fish you know..."

"Enough, don’t you feel that there’s not much pulling force on this fishing rod? This fish probably isn’t big!" The Third Young Master had come back to his senses from the initial excitement. Seeing that their overly thrilled behavior had attracted nearby boats to come over and watch, he quickly stopped the Fifth Young Master’s excitement.

They didn’t set out with a specific destination; they were at a place people frequently visit for fun. There were quite a few bona fide fishing enthusiasts around, so it was normal for others to come over and take a look if someone caught a big fish.

Seeing their agitated behavior just now, people naturally thought they had caught a big fish.

"Just a moment ago, it felt like a big fish!" The Fifth Young Master also realized something was amiss. He had seen the fishing rod suddenly jerk, but now as the two brothers started to pull, they realized... it didn’t seem to require much effort!

"It really doesn’t seem like a big fish. Haven’t you seen other people fishing? When a fish is pulled, it starts thrashing in the water. If it was a big fish, you could see it on the surface," Guo Jingya recalled from fishing scenes she had seen in movies and TV shows and reminded them.

Xu Xiaoyan was completely unaware about fishing. She had seen some fishing before while playing by the Yellow River with Yan Fei, but they were just playing and weren’t interested in waiting to see what fish were caught—though it wasn’t true to say she had never seen fishing. Jiao Bing and Yang Qian had once fished behind a cattle farm, but those two fools were just posing and killing time.

The three siblings were discussing while carefully reeling in the fishing line, thinking that even if it was a small fish, it was still a catch, right? They could now feel that there was definitely a fish, although it might not be very big.

But... miracles always happen when you least expect them.

Just as they were almost done reeling in the line, a large fish suddenly appeared faintly from underneath the sea surface—it was huge, and even from a distance, it was already visible as being larger than a person.

However, it was a bit strange. The fish was hooked, but it seemed to be dead. As it was being pulled in by the two of them, it didn’t struggle or even move.

The people at the bow were so frustrated. The Fifth Young Master Guo, transitioning from ecstasy to disappointment, couldn’t help but say, "Could it be that we caught a dead fish?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Guo Jingya, seeing that Xu Xiaoyan looked a bit down after hearing this, stopped him from continuing. "Would a dead fish bite the bait? Maybe it knows struggling is useless and has given up resisting..."

The Third Young Master couldn’t help but roll his eyes: Why don’t you say that the fish has decided to turn over a new leaf and deliberately come to surrender to us?

When the fish was pulled alongside the boat, everyone’s surprise peaked, and so did their disappointment. "Such a big fish, but what a pity it’s dead..."

The nearby anglers who had come over were shocked. Such a big fish, still taking the bait, how could it be dead? So they hurried closer for another look, some even using binoculars...

The Fifth Young Master Guo and others were unsure of what to do with the fish when suddenly, someone on another boat who was using binoculars saw the fish move slightly and exclaimed with surprise, "Quick, pull it up; the fish isn’t dead, it’s alive..."

The Fifth Young Master Guo instantly perked up. "I knew it looked like it was still flapping! Quick, quick, quick... It’s probably just too old and couldn’t struggle anymore, pull it up, pull it up... Hey you guys over there, come help, can’t you see we caught such a big fish?"

Crew members on the boat quickly appeared to help haul the large fish aboard. Seeing that the fish was indeed not dead, a crew member excitedly announced, "Congratulations to the young masters and misses, this is a bar cod dogtooth grouper, not a very common species around here. Judging by its size, it’s at least over 200 catty!"

These few might be able to talk if it was about eating, but recognizing fish? That might as well be talking to a brick wall, since they really hadn’t roamed around fish markets—but that didn’t matter. For a few amateurs, the crew member’s last remark was enough.

A fish over 200 catty!

Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed. "Is this the fish I caught?"

Well, nominally, that fishing rod belonged to her, although Yan Fei had just been helping her bait and more here.

"We contributed too!" Guo Jingya protested her presence. "I helped pull the fishing rod just now..."

"Exactly, exactly!" The Fifth Young Master Guo quickly said. "Make sure the fish is positioned well for the photo, Third Brother, help me take a picture first!"

"Hey, could you tell us what bait you used? This fish isn’t common, let’s share some tips?" the person who had just reminded them to pull the fish up shouted.

"Ha ha ha ha..." Suddenly, laughter erupted from a nearby boat. "I’m telling you to stop asking. Those are the Third and Fifth Young Masters of the Guo family from Hong Kong; these big lads could probably teach you all about chasing girls for three days and nights nonstop. But as for fishing? Catching a nearly dead fish? Would you call that fishing?"
