My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 237 Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

Latest plot update: Click to follow.

With Zhou Miao's two fishing rods, the speed at which he catches fish goes without saying.

When the fish are biting well, they're almost always coming in one after another, keeping him incredibly busy.

He was able to catch all sorts of common deep-sea fish, such as golden-eyed eagles, ruby ​​fish, deep-sea rockfish, and blue croakers, and even caught two red amberjack weighing over 20 pounds each.

There are also ordinary abalone and the like, which are cheap but taste pretty good, so I keep them too.

Yu Muzhou was finally able to stop just watching; one message after another brought a smile to his face.

However, what he really wanted to catch was the big red amberjack, because it's so easy to pull up.

However, a little while later, he had a stroke of luck and actually caught a big fish.

After struggling for most of the day, it turned out to be a tiger stripe, weighing about fifteen pounds.

At this moment, all sorts of small fish at the bottom of the water are attracted by the smell of Antarctic krill and gather together.

This has led to many large predators in the vicinity also coming out, attracted by these small fish.

So the two people on the boat kept fishing and then realized that the continuous catches had stopped.

Zhou Miao was wondering if the Antarctic krill had lost its flavor after being soaked, causing the fish to leave.

The next moment, I saw the fishing rod in front of me bend sharply, making a huge noise.

Yu Muzhou next door exclaimed in surprise: "Holy crap, they caught a big fish?"

"Haha, I was wondering why there were no fish. Turns out they were scared away by the big fish."

Zhou Miao pressed the button with delight. Such a harvest on the first night was clearly a great start.

If we return with a full load in these seven days, we might be able to pay back most of the money we owe Yu Muzhou.

With an electric reel, fishing becomes naturally easy and effortless.

However, the big fish that took the bait was the small electric reel that Zhou Miao had bought the earliest. The electric reel's pulling force wasn't very strong, so the numbers on the screen jumped up and down wildly.

Clearly, each time the fish thrashed, it pulled out a significant amount of fishing line.

However, Zhou Miao's fishing hook wasn't particularly large, so it was uncertain whether he could successfully catch this big fish.

It would take most of the day for things to drag on like this, so Zhou Miaoqian decided to just keep an eye on the heavy-duty electric winch.

After the fish next to us tugged the fishing line and swam away, the small fish under the boat gathered again and started to eat the bait, and we caught a small fish here as well.

It was caught quickly; it was a seven-banded grouper weighing about ten pounds, a very good fish.

First, Zhou Miao put the fish on the deck, then replaced the bland Antarctic shrimp with freshly soaked ones, and then changed the fishing hook.

However, he didn't change the leader line because he had been using a steel wire leader line from the beginning, to prevent fish with sharp teeth from wearing it down quickly.

With big fish appearing now, this heavy-duty electric reel is naturally more suitable for fishing.

After baiting the hook with sardines and throwing it back into the water, Zhou Miao waited for the hook to sink to the bottom before squatting down to bleed the ten-pound deep-sea grouper.

Almost all the fish caught tonight needed to be bled and cleaned, except for the occasional black-toothed ribbonfish, which doesn't have much blood and doesn't require much trouble. This is why he was so busy after catching a series of fish.

After changing the hook, the efficiency of the heavy-duty electric reel in catching fish immediately dropped, but every fish caught was a large one weighing between ten and thirty pounds.

Overall, the results were better than before.

An hour had passed before we knew it. The small electric reel next to us was already hot, and the fishing line hadn't been reeled in at all. Instead, it had been pulled out another seventy or eighty meters.

Zhou Miao was amazed; this fish had incredible stamina!

Moreover, judging from the situation, it's a fairly large fish. The fact that it hasn't gotten off the hook after so long means this fish is incredibly unlucky.

It probably swallowed the bait too deeply, and the hook got stuck there, so it couldn't spit it out.

Another half hour passed, and seeing that the fish still hadn't moved, Zhou Miao checked the screen of the electric winch again.

Upon looking at it, he was shocked again.

Goodness, the number on the screen didn't decrease; instead, it rose to over two hundred.

What kind of fish is this? It seems to last even longer than him!

Logically speaking, after so long, even a tireless perpetual motion machine like the GT should have stopped and rested.

But this situation is very strange, making it seem like he caught a robotic fish.

"What kind of fish is it? Why haven't you caught any yet?" After an hour and a half, Yu Muzhou, who had satisfied his fishing cravings and was also tired from fishing, saw his surprised and furrowed brows and curiously came over.

When he saw the numbers on the screen, he was stunned: "What's going on? Why is it getting farther and farther away?"

"Judging by the bend in the fishing rod, the fish shouldn't be that big!"

"If it were truly one of those enormous creatures, the fishing line on your reel would have been exhausted by now!"

"I don't know what's going on either, looks like I'll have to do it myself!" Zhou Miao turned off the scorching hot electric winch and then pressed the crank handle of the winch.

But coincidentally, the heavy-duty electric winch started moving again.

Seeing this, Yu Muzhou quickly went over to help: "Don't worry about fishing, I'll watch over things here."

Zhou Miao nodded and began to concentrate on fishing for the tireless giant in the water.

After fishing for about ten minutes, he realized why this small electric reel hadn't been able to catch anything for so long.

The fish at the bottom of the water doesn't have a particularly strong pull; if it were a heavy-duty electric reel, it would have been caught long ago.

But after trying for about ten minutes, he found that the fish's pulling force had not weakened at all, and some doubts arose in his mind, while he also understood a bit more.

But he didn't say it immediately; instead, he continued fishing patiently.

With him in charge, the creature underwater definitely won't be able to keep running.

Zhou Miao simply took the fishing rod out of the fishing hole, then struggled to lift the rod while gripping the handle and exerting force.

The fishing rod bent more, indicating that his strength was gradually increasing.

Soon, the fishing rod bent into an inverted U-shape, and Zhou Miao's expression became serious as he kept a close eye on the fishing line to prevent it from breaking suddenly.

If he's right, this fish is worth no less than a regular bluefin tuna.

But you can only get a high price by selling to specialists; ordinary fishmongers can't offer a price, nor dare they.

Zhou Miao slowly reeled in the line. The fish, which had already run two hundred meters away, was now being pulled closer little by little. Half an hour later, he had successfully reeled in one hundred meters of fishing line.

But at this moment, the force exerted by the big fish underwater remained unchanged, still just as strong.

However, Zhou Miao became increasingly certain of what kind of fish it was, and therefore felt more at ease.

By this time, the electric reel had cooled down, so he turned it on, making fishing much easier.

A dozen minutes later, when Zhou Miao saw a long yellow metal pipe appear on the water's surface, he wasn't surprised at all.

From the moment he started fishing, he realized that what he was catching was probably not fish.

Only machines can be tireless.

"Holy crap? Isn't this an unmanned underwater vehicle?" Yu Muzhou exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the metal tube. "No wonder your electric winch hasn't been able to catch anything. So this is it."

"Haha, I had my suspicions when I started fishing, but it really is this thing. I heard you can exchange it for a 100,000 yuan prize?"

Zhou Miao quickly pulled the object to the side of the boat, and then asked Yu Muzhou to help lift it up with a crane.

"Whether you can exchange it for a bonus depends on whether it's domestic or foreign first. If it's foreign, it's called an underwater listening system, and then you can exchange it for money," Yu Muzhou explained to him.
