Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland

Chapter 283 - 280: Shocking! Caught a Giant Shark?!

The Humpback Whale joyfully leaped and splashed back down on the sea surface.

Woo~~ Woo~~

Meanwhile, a melodious call continuously emanated from its body.

The scene was quite amusing.

Jiang Feng watched for a while until the Humpback Whale’s figure faded into the distance, then returned to the cabin, quickly rinsed off, and changed back into his clothes.

The barrage in the live stream chat kept rolling in.

[First time seeing a Humpback Whale voluntarily perform a show, this stream by Master Jiang is truly exciting!]

[I never expected to see a Humpback Whale in a live stream!]

[The fact that humans can clean barnacles has apparently spread under the sea!]

[Master Jiang is truly an outdoor expert, daring to do anything!]

Jiang Feng came to the side of the boat, looking at the shimmering sea surface, without saying another word.

The Little Border Collie seemed disinterested, lying beside Jiang Feng the whole time.

After all, the fishing boat swayed back and forth, and the Border Collie hadn’t fully adapted yet.

The two native dogs seemed to be enjoying themselves, running back and forth.

Sometimes they would run to Xiaojin Hua’s side, inviting it to play, but Xiaojin Hua just lay there.

The fishing boat traveled forward for another half hour.

"Alright, let’s stop here, the seabed is shallower, with underwater reefs, and there are more fish."

Shen Feifei spoke up.

Generally, a fishing trip requires four or five people, but today, because of special circumstances, there were only three people.

Shen Feifei didn’t plan to let the net down too deep.

He asked Jiang Feng:

"Master Jiang, are you still okay? The constant rocking on the way here, if someone hasn’t been on a fishing boat before, they’d probably already be seasick."

Jiang Feng looked relaxed, waved his hand, and said:

"No problem, I have a high tolerance for dizziness, I don’t get sick easily."

After all, Jiang Feng had skills in parachuting and surfing, both activities involving weightlessness, so he was quite resistant to over-weight and under-weight or spinning conditions.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Shen Feifei laughed and said:

"You don’t seem like you’re from the mainland, as most tourists get seasick on fishing boats."

In Hainan, mainland tourists are habitually referred to as mainlanders, without any other implications, just a customary term.

Jiang Feng replied, "I have a lake on my grassland, and sometimes I row a canoe on it to fish."

Listening to Jiang Feng’s words, Shen Feifei suddenly realized.

You actually have a lake at home!

This is indeed... impressive!

As they set out to sea, Shen Feifei still called his cousin to prepare for setting the net.

Under normal circumstances, fishermen set the net and retrieve it the next day.

But today, they wouldn’t do that; they planned to leave the net for three hours before taking it back.

Jiang Feng took out fishing gear from his bag, preparing for sea fishing.

Jiang Feng stood at the stern.

"Today, let’s try sea fishing; you can bait these waters, or not."

"From here, I can already see lots of fish swimming below."

"If you use bait, it’s not very skillful."

"Plus, I want to try lure fishing, something fresh."

Jiang Feng put a bait on the hook and spoke to everyone.

Lure fishing involves using obvious bait, simulating a fake small fish to lure aggressive big fish to hunt.

Carnivorous sea fish are much more formidable than freshwater species.

Down there, you’ll find everything.

The variety of fish is countless.

Viewers were quite eager to find out what fish Jiang Feng would catch.

Jiang Feng cast out his line and then started reeling it back continuously.

Lure fishing is a young person’s method, more likely to trigger aggressive predatory fish.

The seawater beneath the boat wasn’t deep blue, but rather grayish.

However, many fish were visibly swimming around.

Jiang Feng used the bait as a lure, twitching it back and forth, but no fish were drawn to it.

It was clear that the sea fish weren’t interested in his bait.

Fishing is about luck after all, and it takes time.

During this waiting time, the trolls started making jokes.

[Is the host training instead of fishing?]

[Why don’t you bait the area? How can you fish without bait?]

[Is the host flying a kite in the seawater?]

[Damn, it does look like it!]

[Flying a kite, hahaha!]

The barrage grew even livelier.

The trolls loved making these comments.

Jiang Feng remained calm. Suddenly, he felt a movement in the line.

It’s on!

Jiang Feng’s expression changed as he began reeling in quickly.

When fishing for aggressive sea fish, that’s how it’s done.

However, he noticed that the fish wasn’t putting up much of a fight.

That meant it wasn’t a big fish.

He didn’t have high expectations.

"I’ve got one; it doesn’t seem big."

"Feels soft, maybe it’s seaweed."

While reeling in quickly, Jiang Feng commented.

His remark made some trolls even more delighted.

[Reeling so fast, it must be seaweed!]

[Maybe it’s an underwater kite!]

Then, as Jiang Feng retrieved the line, the catch finally appeared above the water.

When viewers saw the catch, they were taken aback!

Jiang Feng was also a bit surprised!

At the end of the line was a red snake!

A snake caught in the sea?

How is this possible?

How can a snake move in the sea!

At first, Jiang Feng was a bit surprised, but after a careful look, he became much calmer.

"It’s a blood eel, a type of sea eel."

"Eels are also delicious, with tender meat."

"I already have several cooking methods in mind; this eel is over a meter long, it will surely taste great."

Jiang Feng explained to everyone.

Eel?

The netizens only calmed down after hearing Jiang Feng’s explanation.

Oh, so it’s a sea eel!

It’s just that the reddish color of it still makes it kinda creepy.

At this moment, Shen Feifei and his cousin had already set up the fishing net and then came over to see Jiang Feng’s fishing situation.

Upon seeing the blood eel, Shen Feifei exclaimed:

"A blood eel, this is a good catch, it’s quite expensive, this one might be worth thousands!"

"Master Jiang, your luck is really something!"

After hearing Shen Feifei saying this, the netizens also understood that the first fish Jiang Feng caught was quite valuable.

It was truly an auspicious start!

The trolls in the livestream were momentarily silent, while the fans were excited.

[Hey trolls, who said Master Jiang was flying a kite underwater?]

[Someone actually questioned Master Jiang?]

[Just to be clear, I’ve been praising Master Jiang all along!]

[Cut it out, you’re the one who was trolling the hardest!]

The comments were noisy and lively.

Many people were both trolls and fans, because they watch the livestream for fun, playing the roles of trolls and fans is quite interesting.

Jiang Feng didn’t really pay attention to the comment section.

He started fishing from the stern again.

Coming to such a place for sea fishing is all about leisure and pleasure.

Here, fishing requires no skill, it’s all about capability.

Because there are just too many fish here!

Most fishermen use nets because they think using a rod is too slow.

Only someone like Jiang Feng, who has time, would come here to fish with a rod.

Then, with each cast of his fishing rod, it took Jiang Feng less than a minute to catch a fish.

The fish varied in size, some big, some small, but all were tropical economic fish with high nutritional value.

It didn’t take long before the trolls in the livestream vanished, leaving only a large group of people shouting "666".

Some fishing enthusiasts, upon seeing such a scene, were so envious their eyes were fixated!

[Gosh! Another catch, how many has he caught already!]

[I keep seeing him pulling up fish!]

[Wow, is this fishing or restocking!]

[Are there really so many fish in this place?]

[Are sea fish really this dumb?]

The comments kept flooding in.

The more they watched, the more impressed they became.

At this time, Jiang Feng’s fishing rod moved again.

"I’ve got another fish!"

Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"My arm is getting a bit sore from fishing."

He shook his arm, looking relaxed and at ease.

His demeanor again prompted a wave of responses from the audience.

Jiang Feng fished for two hours, and eventually, he just couldn’t keep up; the fish here never seemed to stop coming.

Let’s just say the fish in this area are pretty easy to catch.

Then Jiang Feng decided to help Shen Feifei in pulling up the net.

Shen Feifei chuckled and said, "There are usually small sea fish in the net, a large number, and occasionally some unusual things like a big octopus or sea turtle, it’s like opening a blind box."

"If we catch a sea turtle, we’ll put it back into the sea."

"Fishermen’s inspections are strict, catching a protected animal once will get your sea fishing license revoked, so no one dares to catch protected animals."

"I wonder what we’ll catch in this net."

Hearing Shen Feifei’s words, Jiang Feng also said,

"The net is so big, maybe we’ll catch a big one."

Jiang Feng didn’t expect his words to come true.

After waiting more than three hours, Shen Feifei and his cousin started pulling up the net, with Jiang Feng helping out.

They used a mechanical arm to haul up the net electrically.

A drone livestreamed the scene over the sea surface.

A big net emerged from the sea, filled with various kinds of fish.

Then, Shen Feifei operated the mechanical arm to lift the fishing net over the gap where the fish are stored and then opened the net.

In an instant, a dense mass of sea fish poured onto the fishing boat.

Among them were all kinds of fish, including jellyfish and squid.

But at this moment, a big guy suddenly fell from the center of the fishing net.

At that moment, everyone present, including the netizens watching the livestream, froze in place.

It was a shark!

A fierce big shark!

This shark had no idea of its situation, lying on a pile of fish, with its mouth wide open, having a buffet.

In the eyes of this shark, this place was paradise.

"Holy crap, how did we catch this thing!"

Shen Feifei was in disbelief.

In all these years, the fishing boat had never caught a shark.

Shen Feifei’s cousin was also dumbfounded, taking a while to snap out of it.

Jiang Feng asked, "What should we do with it?"

"Of course, throw it back into the sea, Master Jiang, give us a hand," Shen Feifei responded.

The three of them went behind the shark, grabbed its tail together, and started dragging it back.

This scene was particularly amusing.

The humans were pulling from the back, while the shark was still indulging itself, opening its mouth wide and eating crazily, not paying any attention to Jiang Feng and the others.

The netizens watching the livestream saw the shark as a pure foodie and weren’t scared anymore; instead, they laughed easily.
