Lin Chen clutched the wooden spear, holding it steady as water splashed against his face.
'Judging by the commotion, it must have been a direct hit.'
'If he had missed, there wouldn't be any struggle at all.'
The force traveling up the spear was much greater than he had imagined. He held on tightly for a while before the struggling finally began to weaken.
He didn't dare let go. Instead, he bent over and plunged his left hand into the water, following the spear shaft down. Only when his hand closed around the tiger grouper did he dare to pull it out, spear and all.
SPLASH
In the beam of his headlamp, he could see the spear had passed cleanly through the tiger grouper. The poor fish's lips were still opening and closing, and its fins twitched faintly, but its tail had lost all strength.
[Successfully captured a grouper with a tree branch on the coast of Panama. Happiness +2]
'That works too?'
