As soon as he put down his phone and glanced at the float, it was time to change the bait!
He lifted the rod, switched out the bait, and cast it back into the water. That’s when Shi Tian noticed a long shape approaching from a distance. Was it a water snake? It could also be a venomous snake! With such a long ripple in the water, it might even be a King Cobra! Muttering to himself, Shi Tian quickly turned on his headlamp to see if he needed to make a run for it.
The environment in Sanya was well-preserved, and there were quite a few venomous snakes around—silver-ringed snakes, cobras, and King Cobras, not to mention large pythons. This area, especially around Yalong Bay and Wanning, was particularly rich in snake species.
Seeing Shi Tian turn on the light, Wang Ergou and the others noticed the commotion as well.
“What is that?” Sun Lang called out as he rushed over, followed closely by Wang Ergou and Lobster.
It didn’t look like a snake! It was straight and long! Shi Tian replied casually to Sun Lang. To get a better look at what was in the water, he stood up.
That must be the water ghost from last night! Keep quiet so you don’t scare it away. I’ll go grab the rod to pull it up! Wang Ergou exclaimed as he jumped onto Shi Tian's Fishing Platform for a better view.
Now that the object was only about ten meters from shore, they could clearly see it was just a fishing rod—probably dragged here by a fish!
One rod might not be safe enough; better to grab a couple more! Turning off the light, Shi Tian quietly stepped down from the Fishing Platform and ran toward the car. His Lure Rod was itching to be used!
“Make sure to film this! The water ghost is out; don’t get too close or you might get dragged into the reservoir!” He kindly warned those on shore. Shi Tian, Wang Ergou, and Lobster each took a casting rod and waited for Sun Lang on the Fishing Platform to shine his light.
With the light on, they cast all three rods at once—this time they were ready!
“I’ve got something!” Shi Tian exclaimed as he felt a tug on his line.
To ensure he hooked properly, he had even changed his hook for faster sinking and more hooks!
Sun Lang quickly removed his headlamp and jumped into the water. By the time they looked again, he had swum over to the rod and grabbed it with ease.
Pulling against a big fish underwater was pure torture. But Sun Lang wasn’t foolish; he attached his Shou Sheng to the rod and swam back!
With Shou Sheng in place, things became much easier. He pulled on the line while waiting for Sun Lang to return to shore; now they just had to see how big the fish on the rod was!
As Shi Tian reeled in the line from his Lure Rod, he ran over to face his phone camera and said: “The water ghost has been caught! Make sure you all watch when we drag it up; let’s show you how we eat this water ghost live!”
After finishing his sentence with a wave of his hand, he hurried back to put down his rod; this fish should be left for Sun Lang after all—he had gotten wet just for this catch!
Shi Tian’s words turned three faces green with envy. They all knew there was a fish on that rod, but why did it sound so disgusting?
However, glancing at Booth's barrage of comments flooding in, they suppressed their disgust; eating a fish didn’t seem impossible after all. Who knows? They might even earn some generous gifts—what an internal struggle!
The rod pulled from the water wasn’t from Xing Brand; handling this fish couldn’t be too rough. Under Wang Ergou’s and Lobster’s guidance, Sun Lang carefully played with it.
After three attempts with Shou Sheng, the fish finally gave up resisting. As it was dragged toward shore, it became clear that it was significantly larger than what Shi Tian had caught earlier!
Seizing the opportunity, Lobster quickly activated the Ping Net, and Wang Ergou hurried over to help. A Bighead Carp weighing over fifty pounds was lifted out of the water! A group of onlookers rushed over for a close-up.
With this fish caught, the Shuigui Incident at Yi Tian Reservoir was officially over, leaving a bunch of fishermen at home cursing and swearing! Where did these two fools come from? The anglers were so frightened by the fish that they were shouting about water ghosts at Yi Tian Reservoir, scaring everyone away from fishing!
"Do you want this fish?" Sun Lang asked as he glanced back at Shi Tianyi, unhooking the line.
"You don't want it?"
"I've had my fill of fish!" Sun Lang shook his head, showing no interest in the catch.
He had kept several fish from their last sea fishing trip, and ever since Shi Tian went out to fish, he had been luring Su Xueyi to his home to cook for him. The smell of fresh fish had become nauseating over the past few days!
"Don't be in such a hurry to release it; I've already found a buyer for you!" Shi Tian said, turning to the three onlookers. "This is a water ghost from Yi Tian Reservoir; who wants it? Just sprinkle some chili and stew it—it's delicious!"
If he hadn't mentioned the water ghost, they might have been interested, but with Shi Tian's words, they all shook their heads.
They shook their heads, but whether or not they wanted the fish was not up to them. Watching the barrage of comments flooding in from the booth, one Bro made a gesture, causing the flamboyant Beauty Broadcaster's face to darken instantly.
