"Bro, your method is wrong. You need to set the net with the left side low and the right side high, otherwise it will be difficult to catch fish!" Xia Yan called out to the two men in the river with a slight smile.
These two were quite stubborn. With so many little fish around, as soon as they pressed the button, a large area of water was disturbed. The two Fishing Law Brothers and Xiao Zhang were already on the shore, but these two hadn’t even noticed.
"Oh, fellow anglers! How many fish have you caught? You still don’t understand such a simple principle? Thanks, Bro!"
Before he could finish speaking, Leigong Brother looked somewhat dumbfounded.
Rubbing his nose, Leigong hesitantly said, "Bro, that outfit of yours is pretty nice! Where did you buy it?"
As he spoke, Leigong Brother slowly backed away into the water, glancing left and right to see if there was any way to escape.
That outfit wasn’t cheap; it was all proper gear! Did you see that black device? That’s called a law enforcement recorder. It records everything; don’t think about running away. Your vehicle is still over there! Come out quickly!
The words from the Fishing Law Enforcement left Leigong Brother and Dian Mu Ge stunned. They had recorded everything, and their van had been confiscated! How could they escape? The van had plates; they could easily trace it back to their hideout!
Electro-fishing was a minor issue; it was just a fine of a few thousand yuan, right? Since there was no way to run now, they might as well accept their losses.
They emerged from the water one after the other and tossed their tools onto the shore. Leigong and Dian Mu hung their heads in resignation; this time they had really lost big!
After dismantling the power supply from the electric net, the Fishing Law Brother pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his waist and said, "You guys don’t qualify for this privilege. I’ll make an exception and let you experience it this time. Just remember this lesson for next time; consider the consequences before you think about doing this again!"
"Come on! I won’t do it myself; just stretch out your hands and put them on yourselves!"
Leigong Brother:
Dian Mu Ge:
"Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this? It’s just electro-fishing!"
Holding onto the electric fishing tools and two baskets of fish they had confiscated from the shore, they were escorted into the police car. Xiao Zhang drove their old van while Old Liu drove the police car. The Fishing Law Brother sat in the back seat with the law enforcement recorder, keeping an eye on Leigong and Dian Mu.
The fish here were scarce; mostly little ones that weren’t worth much. Why did you come all this way to waste your effort? There’s a small river across from us where there are plenty of fish, but they’re all small ones too! If you want to catch big fish, you need to go to Hongsha Wharf. I heard they caught a few big ones weighing thirty or forty pounds there yesterday!
These two were electro-fishing; judging by their tone, they sounded like seasoned electricians. The Fishing Law Brother enthusiastically offered them advice.
"Go across to electro-fish? They don’t even drive when responding to calls; by the time they get there, we’ll be waiting on the shore to collect our nets!"
"If we go to Hongsha Wharf, it’ll be even more lively!"
That place was full of fishermen; if anyone dared to electro-fish there while we were on duty, those two would end up with bruises all over! They might even get tied up and paraded through town.
"What do you know? There are plenty of fish here, and hardly anyone passes by. The price of Little White Strip has gone up recently—twenty yuan per pound! Just yesterday we caught over a hundred pounds! If you hadn’t come along, we could have easily caught over a hundred pounds today!"
Hearing the Fishing Law Enforcement question their expertise, Leigong immediately retorted.
One hundred jin is equivalent to two thousand! If we keep this up for two days, that’s four thousand dollars, which is about the same as a month’s salary! Even if we split it between two people, that’s still two thousand—much better than working a job!
One hundred jin? Isn’t it usually around ten bucks? It wasn’t even that price during the eleventh month! Hearing about the price increase, Fishing Law Brother curiously asked.
Don’t underestimate it; when it’s fried, it tastes really good. Pair it with a few drinks, and it’s way more enjoyable than peanuts.
I wouldn’t know. Yesterday, Cui Fishmonger called me urgently asking for Bai Tiao at one hundred jin. Otherwise, who would come to fish for Bai Tiao while guarding the sea?
Cui Fishmonger? Someone wants to eat Bai Tiao? How much can they eat? Three or two jin would be enough. With so much electricity, can you even sell it all? Fishing Law Enforcement handed each of them a cigarette as they chatted casually.
He wanted quite a bit. Yesterday morning, he caught forty jin and paid on the spot, saying it wasn’t enough and asked us to catch more! In the afternoon, we caught over seventy jin but hadn’t had the chance to deliver it yet! We originally planned to deliver everything together after finishing today’s catch, but now we won’t go.
Fishing Law Enforcement said: Let’s head back and arrange for both of you to have separate interrogation rooms. He turned to Old Liu and said: You take Xiao Zhang and conduct the interrogation; make sure to take notes! Anything over ten kilograms is enough for sentencing.
In cases like this, while it can lead to sentencing, they generally don’t file formal charges. They just increase the severity of the situation a bit, setting higher fines to make them feel the pinch. This way, when they’re fishing next time, they’ll think twice before messing with the electric nets.
Once everything was arranged, Fishing Law Enforcement went out on official business.
He followed the small river across from the station all the way to Da Mao River to find Shi Tian’s vehicle. After looking around a bit for Shi Tian, he handed over a cigarette and took Shi Tian's fishing rod in exchange: Here, fill out this record; this is the template you’ll use.
After saying that, he plopped down on Shi Tian's fishing box, cast his line into the water, and took a puff of his cigarette—the long-lost feeling returned!
