147: Crazy pulling of big black carp

Finally, Liu Yao also couldn't hold the fishing rod anymore and started using the lost-hand rope.

Only Yang Qi, who had the last catch, was still stubbornly holding on. A few minutes later, the tip of his fishing rod was almost pulled into the water.

He didn't know the ultimate tensile strength of the fishing rod, nor did he dare to test it. What if it broke? Wouldn't that be hilarious?

So, the three of them entered the lost-hand rope fishing time together, using the elasticity of the bungee cord to continuously exhaust the strength of the large Black Carp.

This time, since all three of them caught fish simultaneously, there was no one to take over. Using the lost-hand rope for fishing was the safest method.

It would take a little longer, but as long as they could land the fish safely.

Occasionally, when the large Black Carp seemed a bit tired, they would tentatively pick up the fishing rod and fight the fish for a while. When they couldn't withstand the pull, they would switch back to the lost-hand rope.

After about an hour, Yang Qi, the latecomer, took the lead and was the first to tire out his large Black Carp. Uncle happened to arrive and was greatly surprised to see that all three of them had caught big fish simultaneously.

He quickly helped Yang Qi pull this large Black Carp, no smaller than the one from the morning, onto the shore and carefully put the fish into the large fish net.

At this point, Yang Qi went to help Zhang Jun, and Uncle went to help Liu Yao.

Unexpectedly, these two guys didn't let them take over their fishing rods. Instead, they both, in unison, asked them to help record videos.

They even started from when they held the fishing rod, then pulled it into a large arc, and then, unable to withstand the pull, used the lost-hand rope.

Except for the very beginning, from the fish biting the hook to raising the rod to set the hook.

The rest of the process was perfectly replicated, truly a reenactment by an acting master.

They feigned heavy breathing and occasionally shouted, "So much strength, such a big fish!"

This re-tormented the two large fish, which were already tired from being reeled in.

Finally, the two large Black Carp, weighing around 50 jin each, were dragged to the shore like dead dogs. The two then went into the water, held the large Black Carp, and came ashore for a group photo.

Only then did they end the video.

"Alas! Gentlemen, the Oscars owe each of you a little golden man!" Yang Qi complained.

The two remained expressionless and unfazed, completely ignoring Yang Qi's complaint.

"What do you mean by 'scene reenactment'? Do you understand?"

"Restoring the truth, you should look into it," the two argued.

The three of them each added some snails to their fishing spots, then cast out pond snails again to continue fishing.

A large catch had just come up, which would certainly have startled the fish in the spot to some extent. The few of them were not in a hurry to wait, so they gathered together and smoked.

Liu Yao looked at Xiao Jiu's (Uncle's) equipment and offered to give Uncle a 7.5-meter rod.

Uncle knew the fishing rod was not cheap and refused to take it. Yang Qi also mentioned that Uncle would go to Qingshan Town with him later and go out to sea with the harvest.

Liu Yao then said, "Then leave it at home for Big Uncle and Second Uncle to fish with. Normally, they can catch some fish to eat themselves, or sell them to increase their income, right?"

"How about when we leave, I'll leave the whole set of fishing gear? It feels bad to just eat and drink for free."

"I left in a hurry last night and didn't buy any gifts. Those cigarettes, alcohol, and supplements were all brought by Brother Jun; I just helped carry them in."

Yang Qi immediately interrupted Liu Yao, saying, "A Yao, that's being too formal. It's great that you guys can come and visit. Don't say things like 'eating and drinking for free.' Didn't you also help me drive the car over? If you consider me your brother, then just see how your brother performs in the future."

He then winked at Uncle and said, "Uncle, you take it for fishing!"

Uncle took the fishing rod and said to Liu Yao, "Then thank you. This fishing rod looks like high-end gear. Now I'm not afraid of catching big fish."

"Hehehe, it's alright, it's alright." Liu Yao was also happy to see Uncle accept the fishing rod.

The four of them smoked another cigarette, chatted for a bit, and then returned to their fishing spots to fish.

Yang Qi used his ability to check the underwater fishing spots of the three again, and there were several Black Carp foraging nearby. Very good!

This time, Zhang Jun was the first to catch a fish again, which made Yang Qi mutter, "This is clearly an 'European Emperor' physique, so why was he always empty-handed before?"

Yang Qi looked at his own rod; those few Black Carp had actually moved a little further away while eating. He thought to himself, "Forget it, I'll help Brother Jun land his fish first!"

"Brother Jun, do you want me to take over?"

"No need, I'll just slowly deal with it using the lost-hand rope. Don't delay your own catches. Just help me net the fish later." Zhang Jun stopped Yang Qi and Liu Yao, who was about to get up.

What he said was right; as long as the lost-hand rope was used properly for fishing, the fish basically couldn't escape. After all, they were all experienced anglers, it would just take a little longer.

This time, Yang Qi and Liu Yao only caught fish one after another when Zhang Jun was almost done tiring out his large Black Carp.

Uncle, hearing the commotion, came over and helped Zhang Jun pull the fishing line, while Zhang Jun himself went into the water to embrace the big fish.

Taking photos was definitely necessary; otherwise, what material would they have to show off?

He carefully placed the large Black Carp into the large fish net, baited with pond snails, and cast his rod again to fish.

He first went to help Yang Qi net his fish, then went to help Liu Yao.

"A Yao, yours seems a bit small! Only about thirty jin, my one just now should have been over forty jin." Zhang Jun started showing off again.

"Uh~ it seems to be less than 40 jin!" Liu Yao looked at his large Black Carp, his mind somewhat frozen, the excitement of catching a fish at least halved.

Then he had a change of thought: "How big is 'big'? A wild Black Carp of over thirty jin, and still not satisfied. Brother Jun wants to make my Dao heart unstable!" So he said, "Brother Jun, show off all you want, but I'm already very satisfied to catch a wild Black Carp of over thirty jin. Besides, my previous one was almost 50 jin. Hehehe."

"Huo, you kid's got it now! I thought you'd be furious? Impressive, impressive!" Zhang Jun was a bit surprised, then gave a thumbs-up.

Next, Zhang Jun had incredible luck and caught another large Black Carp weighing around twenty jin. The other two did not catch any more large Black Carp.

They did catch two or three Black Carp weighing five or six jin, but they all released them back into the reservoir.

Black Carp weighing five or six jin are considered 'little milk Black Carp' in the Black Carp family. They aren't inedible, but there's no need. The few of them released them without even discussing it, doing so consciously.

Uncle had good luck in the afternoon, catching three Carp weighing six or seven jin, one wild native Catfish weighing about three jin, and six or seven Crucian Carp weighing four or five liang each.

"That's about enough, let's go back! Lao Fan might come later, and we can't reveal this place," Zhang Jun suggested.

"Mm, just say we drove thirty or forty li on mountain roads and fished in a reservoir in a certain mountainous area, to confuse them," Liu Yao continued.

"Good! Let's say that." Uncle understood as soon as he heard it and thought to himself, "It seems city people have deeper tricks! But this can indeed prevent others from finding the spot and emptying it. Learned, learned!"

"It seems I need to talk to Big Brother and Second Brother; they need to be even more careful about protecting their fishing spots when catching soft-shelled turtles."
