The fish on the rod swam right over, and Shi Tian seized the opportunity to lift the rod. At this moment, he absolutely could not let the line slack; otherwise, it would significantly increase the chance of losing the fish!
Without a fishing box, Shi Tian stood a bit high and had to lower his posture slightly. Otherwise, he feared that the rod might not withstand such a strong pull. Although it was a customized rod, being cautious was never a bad thing; otherwise, if it broke, Shi Chui would surely have a good laugh at his expense!
As Shi Tian raised the rod higher, the fish on the hook sensed something was off. It turned sharply, and the rod immediately bent down! Squatting on the fishing platform, he braced the rod with his foot and pulled it close to him. Shi Tian began an intense tug-of-war with the fish on the rod!
Fishing for big fish often involved such battles; this was a process of exhausting the strength of the big fish on the hook! During this process, it all came down to who had more endurance and patience. The fish sought an opportunity for a desperate burst of energy, while the fisherman aimed to control the situation and maximize their buffer space within their equipment and physical limits!
“Lao Shi! You’ve caught so many fish already; guess what kind of fish is on this rod? If you guess right, I’ll get you another customized rod!” Having taken control of the situation, Shi Tian couldn’t help but tease Lao Shi.
If Lao Shi recognized a Qiao Zui, he would definitely not be mistaken. However, the fish on this rod was clearly not one of those small ones. With such strength, it could either be a Carp or a Grass Carp; it might even be an Azure Catfish!
Of course, besides these three types of fish, it could also be a Catfish. However, he hadn’t heard Shi Ye mention that Catfish were released into Xinyue Lake; it was more likely that they were dealing with one of the Four Major Fish!
Looking at the bobber’s movement—a sudden dip followed by a steady pull—it was undoubtedly a Carp! Just because he hadn’t hooked any fish didn’t mean his theory was flawed. Earlier, Shi Tian had been watching closely; first there was a dip, then a steady pull—clearly indicating that it was eating decisively. The chances were high that it was indeed a Carp.
With one rod costing seventy-two thousand, let’s bet on just one! If you guess right, I’ll express ship another rod to you. If you guess wrong, though, your wallet might take a little hit! With a chuckle, Shi Tian spoke up.
He had just been eyeing that customized rod; it seemed Lao Shi had saved up quite a bit of pocket money! Being pestered by Yun Wan'er every day meant that even if Lao Shi had money, he had no place to spend it. So why not help Lao Shi out by spending some of it?
Just because there was a sudden dip didn’t necessarily mean it was a Carp; Azure Catfish could also cause such movements. Grass Carp were unlikely since they preferred to feed with their heads up—similar to Carp—first nudging the bobber before moving sideways or making sudden dips.
Azure Catfish were quite particular about their bait; they would first suck in bait near their mouths to test if they liked the flavor. If they found it appealing, they would slowly draw it in. If using Snail as bait, they might even break open its shell slightly in their throats before spitting out the shell. At that point, the bobber would show steady dips.
If there were consecutive dips, it would be time to lift the rod; otherwise, there was a risk that the hook could be spat out along with the Snail shell—leaving him staring at an empty hook in despair! Since Shi Tian wasn’t using Snail as bait, there wouldn’t be any consecutive dips.
Shi Tian wasn’t sure what kind of fish was on his rod either; however, given that he had used Carp Bait, there was still a strong possibility that it was indeed a Carp. After all, he had cast out specifically for them!
What’s just one rod? A whole box of rods was prepared for Shi Chui! Spending twenty bucks on shipping for a chance at seventy-two thousand seemed worth it!
Seeing that Shi Chui remained silent for so long made Shi Tian smirk. He patted his rod twice and exclaimed: “Damn! It’s pulling again! What’s going on here?”
Hearing Shi Tian shout about pulling again made Shi Chui’s eyes light up; this must be an exclusive rod! Afraid that Shi Tian might change his mind, he quickly replied: “It’s settled then! But if this fish gets away, we’ll count it as a Carp!”
With such a large fish, there was still quite a chance of losing it—like getting unhooked or breaking off line—that was all part of fishing!
“Let’s make this deal! I don’t have a net or any control tools here; until we see the fish break water, you can start recording! Once it shows itself above water level, we can determine what it is!” Once Lao Shi relaxed his stance, the fish on Shi Tian’s rod immediately stopped pulling!
Of course! For fishermen like them, if it didn’t come ashore, it counted as losing the fish! You run a fishing tackle shop but don’t bring nets or control tools? That just shows your lack of preparation!
For the Emperor's sake, Shi Chui argued vehemently. "What you say goes, but who says you’re the Emperor? As the Emperor, you should follow your words!" With a compliment to Shi Chui, Shi Tian's grip on the rod tightened significantly, nearly bending it at a ninety-degree angle!
After some struggle, the fish in the water clearly had less strength. However, this was the most dangerous time; often, it was during this moment of carelessness that a fish would suddenly burst forth and snap the line!
As the fish leaped out of the water, Shi Tian was delighted to see a large Azure Catfish, weighing over ten pounds. Lao Shi was about to dig into his wallet!
Standing up, he struggled with the fish on the rod, spluttering water everywhere, which made Lao Shi mutter anxiously from his spot.
The line snapped! Oh no!
What kind of nonsense is happening at this hour? Oh for heaven’s sake! Yun Wan'er had finished washing up and came out of the bathroom to scold Shi Chui!
Hearing Yun Wan'er’s voice, Shi Tian couldn’t help but smile wryly; she always knew how to put Shi Chui in his place with just a few words!
Isn’t this just like video chatting with Xiao Tian? Look how impressive your son is; he caught such a big fish! With a hint of pride, Shi Chui decided to cast the video onto the hotel TV.
The fish had already slipped away. Even without the Control Fish Tool, as Shi Tian leaned down to grab it by its gills at just the right moment, he successfully pulled a Bighead Carp onto the shore.
"Lao Shi, remember what you said! You can’t go back on your word!" He placed the fish on the Fishing Platform for a close-up shot. After confirming with Shi Chui, he removed the Fish Hook, held onto the fish's tail, and casually tossed it back into Xinyue Lake.
Having caught two fish in quick succession, Shi Chui was starting to feel restless. Earlier, they hadn’t seen a single fish. Now, watching Shi Tian catch two in less than half an hour at this Fishing Spot made Qiandao Lake seem less appealing; they needed to hurry to Sanya!
Why release such a big fish? Seeing Shi Tian toss it back into the lake made Yun Wan'er feel somewhat frustrated.
Shi Chui had never caught such a large fish before; even Shi Ye hadn’t managed that. After finally witnessing his son catch one, he just threw it back into the lake—what a waste!
One family can’t eat all that! Last time they went sea fishing and caught a Bluefin Tuna, it was still sitting in the freezer!
After replying to Yun Wan'er, Shi Tian took advantage of the fading light to get another close-up of Xinyue Lake before turning to pack up. He needed to show Yun Wan'er the beautiful scenery around here!
