"Fishing... is indeed a good idea."
Xia Mi nodded, but looked at Su Mo with doubt.
"But are you sure you can catch it? Otherwise, I'd better go for it!"
"How can a fisherman say that he is not good at it, and by the way, you can also fish?"
Su Mo looked at the girl in confusion, but he didn't see that she had the potential to be a fisherman?
"I don't know how to fish."
Xia Mi shook his head.
"But if I jump in and catch fish, I have no problem."
As the Dragon King, she only needs to jump into the river with a steel fork and swim around. She can probably stab many big fish like a spear, not to mention the ability to use the spirit of speech.
"What's the difference between what you do and electric fish?"
Su Mo immediately shook his head.
"Although there is no fishing ban protection now, the fish you catch like this has no soul."
This is the persistence of a fishing veteran.
"What do I need its soul for? I just need the body of the fish."
Xia Mi blinked, puzzled by the old fisherman's inexplicable insistence.
"What a scumbag saying... Don't worry, I, a professional fisherman, may give you air force? The two of us can't eat much. Believe me, it's enough for me!"
——Air force is a saying among fishermen, which means that if no fish is caught, the fish guard is empty.
In order to defend the dignity of Mr. Diaoyu, Su Mo pushed Xia Mi back and asked her to continue investigating the villa.
He picked up the fishing gear and confidently walked towards the old fishing battlefield.
Although I don’t understand what Su Mo is insisting on.
But Xia Mi thought that even if he couldn't catch one, it wouldn't be long before he went into the water to catch a few, so he didn't stop him.
Su Mo, who was holding the fishing gear, quickly found a sheltered bay after analyzing the sunlight, water conditions, air pressure, and wind direction. Based on his experience as a LV3 professional fisherman, there was definitely a big fish hiding here.
Full of confidence, he plans to use his superb fishing skills to let Xia Mi know what technology is.
Making a nest, rubbing bait, adjusting the drift, and throwing the rod—a set of actions can be completed in one go.
All you have to do next is wait for the big fish to take the bait.
Waiting, waiting, half an hour passed, but there was no movement at all, and the fish did not speak at all.
Just when he thought that he would really embarrass the Air Force this time, he was thinking about picking up a handful of wild celery by the river to avoid embarrassment.
Piao finally moved.
Su Mo concentrated on it and waited for the right moment to suddenly mention it, and a black catfish was lifted up.
Catfish, also known as Jiangtuan, is a fresh water fish with relatively delicious meat and few fish bones. This one weighs at least two or three kilograms.
Su Mo took off the fishhook and touched the fish belly.
"Is this still the spawning period?"
In order to prevent fishing from drying up the lake, fishermen usually release these kinds of fish after catching them, and Su Mo was no exception. However, he did not throw them out directly. Instead, he put in fish to protect the fish and then put them back together at the end.
The fish guard is a long net bag with eyes, the lower end is immersed in the water, and is mainly used to store fish.
If fishermen catch fish and put it on the shore, the fish will die soon and taste stale. Carrying bottled water with them is too bulky, so they simply use this kind of net bag to keep the caught fish in it.
, in fact, it is an improved fish basket.
The fish will not die if it is not out of the water. When you pick it up when you get home, the fish will stay fresh.
Su Mo is not worried about the air force. Fishing is like this. As long as one fish bites the hook, other fish will bite the hook one after another.
His guess was not wrong.
Obviously there had been no movement for the past half hour, but since a fish bit the hook, the fish's mood has gradually become more intensive.
After a while, I caught about ten fish, including carp and silver carp, totaling more than ten kilograms.
There are even two double flights - which means the main and auxiliary hooks catch fish at the same time.
Although the fish caught on the bottom a few times, caught the ground a few times, and damaged a few hooks, the employer said that these props could be used as he pleased, so he naturally didn't feel too bad.
after an hour.
After successfully catching the last catfish - the male did not need to be released, Su Mo planned to go back.
If you really want to eat, this one on hand is actually enough.
He stood up and lifted the fish guard, wanting to feel the heavy harvest feeling, and at the same time, he released most of the fish in the fish guard.
Fishermen release fish not to accumulate merit, but simply for sustainable development.
However--
"Whoosh!"
The fish guard, which should have been heavy, stood up with a gentle lift from Su Mo. It was as light as if there wasn't a fish inside.
There is indeed not a single fish in it.
For some reason, only the upper half of the fish guard was left. The half that sank under the water was bitten off by something, and naturally all the fish inside were gone.
Half of the afternoon's efforts were almost completely wasted except for the fish on hand that had not yet had time to put the fish guard in.
Realizing this, the first thing Su Mo felt was not anger, but weirdness.
What kind of creature is needed to secretly bite off one's own fish guard under one's feet? The material of the nylon thread should be difficult for fish to bite off.
In addition, he quickly recalled the things he had done before.
Hanging to the bottom means that the fishhook has hooked on something like a stone at the bottom of the water and is stuck and cannot be pulled out. At this time, the only option is to give up the fishhook and directly pull off the secondary line.
If you are fishing in a pond or shallow pool, it is not surprising to see bottom hanging.
But this is the Yangtze River. Even in the Huiwan Bay, the water depth is at least ten meters. How could I get stuck on the bottom?
And if what my fishhook just caught was not a stone on the bottom of the river, what could it be?
Looking at the bottomless water, Su Mo's expression changed and he took half a step back.
Although it is not clear what is going on under the water.
But one thing is clear, there must be a giant thing under the water.
It's a pity that this is the Yangtze River and water cannot be pumped. Otherwise, Su Mo will definitely let this unknown giant understand that other people's prey cannot move around.
After realizing that there was a problem under the water, he had no intention of investigating alone.
Who knows what's in here and whether it can come ashore and attack humans.
After packing up his fishing gear for a while, he immediately turned back and prepared to consult with Teacher Xia Mi.
It was already evening.
The color of the sun turned red. The moment Su Mo turned around and left, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a red-gold reflection. A creature that looked like a carp or a long snake was posing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
When I looked back, it seemed like it was just an illusion under the waves.
Su Mo did not regard this as an illusion.
After carefully writing down what he saw, he walked towards the villa.
At the door of the villa, Xia Mi was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, preparing to go out to look for him.
"Did you catch it?"
As soon as you open your mouth, your soul asks questions.
"Caught it."
Su Mo picked up the only catfish in his hand, and felt a little lucky that he had picked up the fish guard in advance. Otherwise, if it was really the Air Force, what he said later might be regarded as a tough excuse.
