"Looks like that was just a brief resurgence."
I guess it's because it's been getting pulled the whole time, the fish was slowly being drawn to the surface, which left it with a bit of life in it.
He dived into the water upon seeing the fish's swim bladder protruding near the surface, knowing the fish couldn't get away.
Swimming over to grab the slender tail of the yellow croaker, he brought it back up to the surface with him.
As soon as Chu Mingcheng broke the surface, Zhang Wei immediately asked, "Did you catch the fish?"
"Of course," Chu Mingcheng replied, proudly lifting his golden prize for all to see.
"Great!" Zhao Jun let out a sigh of relief. Anyone would lose sleep over a big yellow croaker getting away.
Chu Mingcheng brought the yellow croaker on board, and a chill ran through him as the sea breeze hit.
He handed the yellow croaker to Zhao Jun to store in the foam box and quickly ran to the cabin to take a shower and change clothes, to avoid catching a cold.
