My name is Da Zhang, and he is Old Zhang. It sounds like I'm at a disadvantage here! Laughing, Da Zhang took the cigarette and stretched his neck. There's nothing like catching big fish; after returning to Shandong, I won't find fish this size anymore. How am I supposed to get by?
"Uncle Zhang, you're not losing out; you've suddenly become years younger! You've gained!" Da Gui Wang chimed in with a laugh, and his words made Old Zhang feel quite good.
With that, he lifted the rod, bending it into a bow as the line sliced through the water. This had become the norm lately, and the others paid little attention to it. Leaning forward, just as a big fish made its move, Da Gui Wang's rod was immediately yanked from his hands.
It didn't matter; he tossed aside the rod and grabbed the Loss Prevention Rope instead, pulling in another hefty catch weighing over fifty pounds.
"Shi Shu, when is Uncle Zhang coming over? If it's soon, I'll just take my time and wait for him. With such a big fish, he should witness it!" Da Gui Wang asked Shi Chui while holding onto the Loss Prevention Rope.
His time was limited; he had to return to work in a couple of days. This week of fishing was made possible by sacrificing his vacation days.
"It's still early; they haven't set off yet. It'll take them at least an hour or two to arrive. Why don't you release this fish for now and negotiate with it? Maybe it'll bite again in an hour?"
The first wave of struggle ended amid Da Gui Wang's lamentations. As he reeled in the Loss Prevention Rope and pulled the rod closer, before he could even grasp it, a second wave of resistance came crashing in, equally powerful as the first.
After several days of fishing, Da Gui Wang's haul had been quite impressive. However, having tasted the deliciousness of Giant Catfish recently, he often found himself distracted, sneaking in some fishing for Giant Catfish during slow moments.
Releasing them was easy, but getting them to bite again was another story. That Sixty-Two Jin Huchen we had been after for over a week still hadn’t shown up. Surely that fish hadn't escaped to Poyang Lake!
In recent days, they had gone a bit crazy with fishing; Ganjiang had split into several branches past Nanchang. They were on the main river channel leading to the Yangtze River, while Jiangxiang Town was on a tributary leading to Poyang Lake—definitely not the same river.
"Let's fish here one more day today and head back to Jiangxiang Town tomorrow? We really need to catch that fish; otherwise, we'll be laughed at." Taking a sip from his thermos, Old Kong turned to Yi Laotou and asked.
In front of Yi Laotou's apprentice and others, it was best to give Yi Laotou some face; this would encourage him to be more proactive about helping his apprentice.
"Alright then; we’ll head back to Jiangxiang Town tomorrow."
"Lao San! You've worked hard these past few days; you should rest up early!"
"You know Jiangxiang Town well; it's close to your home. Tomorrow morning, help us secure a Fishing Spot. That previous Fishing Spot was great; if you can claim it again, that would be perfect!"
With Yi Laotou's face saved, he could afford to be less lenient with his apprentice. With just one command, Shi Tian—the San Shixiong—would probably rush out at two in the morning to secure that Fishing Spot.
In front of Wang Ergou and others, San Shixiong was like a big shot, but before Yi Laotou, he was just a young man who could run errands!
"Alright then, Master! I'll stay with you for a bit longer and head back in the afternoon to make arrangements."
"Master, this place is remote; I’m not comfortable leaving you here alone in a tent. How about I arrange things so that after we finish fishing tonight, you can stay at City? You can take a hot shower and change clothes."
After fishing for so many days, I’ve gone through all the clothes I brought. These old men really know how to wear a person out.
