Chapter 215 I wish these fishermen could catch big fish every day
You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 215, "I wish these fishermen could catch big fish every day," here is the reading link.
This direct confrontation with the fish thrilled Zhou Miao; it was a feeling of direct confrontation that he rarely experienced after his physique had improved.
Previously, when sea fishing, I used a fishing reel. It wasn't very effective against small fish, and I couldn't compete with larger fish either. Forcing the line would only make it easier to break.
This freshwater fish is strong, but not particularly aggressive.
The back-and-forth exchange is what makes it exciting.
No wonder many anglers like to use big rods to tug-of-war with the fish; that's definitely a thrilling way to fish.
As time went on, the big fish that had been trying to dive into the deeper waters realized it couldn't escape, so it changed its mind and started swaying back and forth, and even appeared directly at the surface.
Under the sun, its bluish scales resembled armor, and its tail slammed heavily against the water, sending sprays nearly three meters high.
Upon seeing the fish, Yu Muzhou excitedly shouted, "A grass carp! It really is a grass carp! It's big enough! I like it!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out his phone and made a call to have the truck brought over.
It turned out that Yu Muzhou had made preparations in advance; he figured he would just let it go if he didn't catch any grass carp today.
If I catch one, and it's big enough, I'll definitely take it home alive and keep it alive.
Although he has a dedicated fish-keeping room in his house in Nanzhen, he only keeps saltwater fish. He has never kept freshwater fish before and wants to give it a try.
If successful, it will be kept as a mascot at the entrance of the entertainment company.
About twenty minutes later, Zhou Miao sensed that the bluefish had exhausted most of its strength and stamina, so he asked, "Brother Zhou, the fish isn't as strong as it used to be. Do you want to try handling it?"
"Sure!" Yu Muzhou had been itching to take the plunge for a long time, but he was unsure of the specifics and was afraid he would embarrass himself if he took over.
But Zhou Miao's willingness to hand it over to him indicates that the fish's strength is within his tolerance range, and as long as he is careful, there will be no accidents.
Noticing that the fish had begun to rest, Zhou Miao quickly handed the fishing rod to Yu Muzhou.
This was the first time Yu Muzhou had ever used a large fishing rod to catch a big fish.
After all, big fish are hard to come by, and he doesn't like going to black market fishing ponds, so he's a novice in this area.
However, as a seasoned angler, he instinctively followed Zhou Miao's example, raising his fishing rod to further exhaust the fish's energy.
At first, it was fine; the fish was resting and didn't have much resistance, which made Yu Muzhou feel very heavy.
But two minutes later, the grass carp, having rested enough, started acting up again.
"Holy crap, holy crap!" Even though he was mentally prepared, Yu Muzhou was still dragged a few steps forward.
He shifted his entire weight backward, but couldn't stop the car, and his feet plowed two tracks into the ground.
Zhou Miao quickly stepped forward, grabbed his life jacket, and was ready to pull him up at any moment.
Fortunately, Yu Muzhou was clever. He squatted down and used his feet to brace the rod tip, which was perpendicular to the ground, thus blocking the brute force of the grass carp.
But Zhou Miao still stood by him to protect him, preventing him from suddenly losing his strength and being pulled away by the fish.
Yu Muzhou gritted his teeth, feeling all his strength being rapidly drained away.
He hadn't expected that even a small grass carp with little strength would be so difficult to catch, so he made up his mind that he would have to find time to train later.
He has made great progress since he first met Zhou Miao.
Unfortunately, the time was still too short. If he had trained for a year or two, he believed that when he first caught the fish, he would be able to fight this big blue carp head-on.
As time passed, Yu Muzhou felt his hands getting increasingly sore, and he could no longer lift the fishing rod.
Fortunately, the grass carp's strength had further weakened, so he decisively put the rod tip against his belly, using his abdomen to gain leverage, and lifted the fishing rod up again.
If the fishing rod is pulled down, the fishing line will easily break. We can't let this rare big bluefish get away.
As the saying goes, the older the fish, the more wary it becomes. Freshwater fish are far more alert than saltwater fish, and it's practically impossible to catch one a second time in a short period of time.
After Yu Muzhou set up the fishing rod, he pulled it back and forth with the fish.
The veins in his arms were bulging, and he was using all his strength.
The fish reappeared on the surface of the water, but this time it was forced to appear, unlike before.
Zhou Miao went straight to the water's edge, and as soon as the fish reached the shore, he reached out and grabbed them.
Just then, a small truck slowly drove up and stopped beside them.
Because Yu Muzhou had just notified them to come via text message, Zhou Miao was unaware of the situation and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"Ah Miao, you use the fishing rod to hold the fish down, and I'll have someone bring it up," Yu Muzhou said to him, panting heavily.
"So this is the person you called, Brother Zhou. I was wondering why someone drove a truck here."
"Such a big grass carp, it would be a shame not to keep it!"
Yu Muzhou smiled and handed him the fishing rod, then arranged for the men on the truck to bring over the water pump and pump the water into an oversized square bucket in the truck bed.
While the water was being pumped out, a small crane that had been brought over from the other side was also pushed over.
However, once it left the water, its massive body became a burden, and it couldn't exert any force at all.
The water pump was so fast that by the time the fish were delivered to the truck by the crane, the large white bucket in the truck bed was already half full of water.
Put the grass carp in, and the water just covers its body.
The new place made it very uncomfortable; it struggled incessantly, splashing water everywhere with its tail.
But as the oxygenator was turned on and the oxygen content in the water increased, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and the grass carp gradually calmed down.
"Just deliver the fish to my house first, unload this bucket and carry it into my fish room, you don't need to worry about anything else."
"I have family members at home; someone will arrange for you to go in when you arrive."
Yu Muzhou brought a lot of ingredients today, so he doesn't plan to go back now.
Furthermore, the grass carp needs to be kept in a bucket first, and only after everything is arranged can it be transferred to a large aquarium.
Truck drivers are naturally fine with it, since they receive generous compensation.
He received his wages for the previous three days for doing such a small job. He wished these fishermen could catch big fish every day and take them home to raise.
After watching the truck leave, by the time Yu Muzhou returned to the shore, Zhou Miao had already started a fire and was grilling lamb skewers.
He rummaged through the box, then suddenly slapped his thigh in frustration, saying, "Oh dear, what a blunder! If I'd known that grass carp were so easy to catch, I should have brought some beer to celebrate."
"Brother Zhou, don't drink and drive!"
"It's okay, you can call a designated driver."
"You could call that beer delivery service too!"
"Oh right, look at my brain, I don't usually order takeout, I even forgot about errands."
Just as Yu Muzhou took out his phone to order beer, a sudden splash of water erupted in the middle of the reservoir.
Both of them were startled. When they looked over, they saw a very familiar tail, which looked even bigger than the big blue fish from before.
Zhou Miao was stunned: "There's even a big bluefish?"
Although the memory of being frightened last time was vivid, he had long forgotten exactly how big the big blue fish that had scared him was and what it looked like.
I thought the fish I just caught was the same one from last time, but now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't.
This tail suddenly reminded him of the enormous bluefish he had encountered before, whose length definitely exceeded his height, perhaps even reaching two meters.
The one we just saw was at most 1.6 meters tall.
