The brim of his hat was lowered to cover his face. The man was holding a fishing rod and his tone was a little excited.
When Chen Ge was approaching, the fishing man suddenly said such words, which aroused Chen Ge's alertness.
He stopped and scanned the other person up and down with his dark eyes. After confirming that the other person was just an ordinary person, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was overthinking it.
Silently watching the man fishing, Chen Ge did not disturb him at the critical moment when the fish took the bait.
"What a big fish!"
The man dragged the fishing rod backward with both hands, and the fishing line was stretched straight. He found that he could not retract the fishing line.
He stood up from sitting on the horse and leaned back, so that he could retract the fishing line little by little.
"What did you catch?"
Chen Ge was also curious. The storage capacity of Donggang Reservoir is not large. There should not be too many fish in this place. However, special circumstances cannot be ruled out. The river network is dense and connected to several large rivers. It may also be large rivers in other places.
The fish is trapped in the reservoir.
"Do you need help?" Chen Ge walked up to the man and asked in a low voice.
The man focused all his attention on the water. Without replying to Chen Ge, he was using all his strength to drag back little by little.
Chen Ge didn't force it. He didn't know anything about fishing, and he didn't dare to interfere casually for fear of doing bad things with good intentions.
"Is there such a big fish in the Donggang Reservoir?" Chen Ge raised his phone and shined it on the water. Where the night light drifted down, he saw a vague shadow slowly emerging under the water.
"what is that?!"
The length of the shadow is about 1.5 meters, the body is slender, and it seems to be moving up and down.
It was pitch dark, and it was hidden underwater. If Chen Ge hadn't had Yin Pupil, it would have been difficult for him to see the thing clearly.
The man put all his effort into feeding, and the fishing line was stretched straight. When Chen Ge saw this, he ducked to the side. He was very worried that the fishing line would suddenly break.
One person and one "fish" were wrestling. It was the first time for Chen Ge to see such exciting fishing.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds, the man's strength began to weaken. He looked strong, but it didn't feel lasting and his endurance was very poor.
After finally catching such a big fish, the man was unwilling to let go. He couldn't drag the fishing line to the shore, so he could only stand there and fight with the fish.
After a while, there was a soft popping sound, and the fishing line seemed to be broken by something. The man sat down on the ground, knocking himself hard.
"Fuck!"
The big fish he got disappeared. The man cursed angrily and threw the fishing rod to the ground.
The fall just now really hurt him, and he couldn't get up for a long time. In the end, Chen Ge ran over and helped him up.
"Brother, are you okay?" Compared with the fishing man, Chen Ge was more curious about the "big fish" in the water: "What were you fishing for just now? Are there any fish that big in our reservoir?"
Being helped up by Chen Ge, the fishing man's expression softened a little: "That's a fish king, I've been following it for three months."
"King of Fishes?"
This seemed to be the secret of the fishing man himself. He reluctantly told Chen Ge: "Reservoirs like these that have been built for a long time, as well as some large inland lakes, may have king fish. They live for a long time and are of great size."
They are super similar and have very high intelligence."
"There is also a fish king in our reservoir?" Chen Ge felt very strange when he heard it. The construction of Donggang Reservoir did take a long time, but the reservoir capacity is not too large. It can only be regarded as a relatively large one among small reservoirs.
"Didn't you see it just now?" The fishing man arranged his clothes and took off his hat.
This man has very thin lips and a pair of dead fish eyes. At first glance, he looks like a mean person who is difficult to get along with.
"Then how do you know there is a fish king in our reservoir? Have you seen it before?" Chen Ge became more and more curious.
"I am a member of our Hanjiang Fishing Association. For those of us fishing enthusiasts, whoever can catch a king fish is something that can last a lifetime, so I usually pay attention to relevant information." The fishing man said.
When talking about his own experience of discovering the King of Fishes, there was a hint of pride in his words: "Later on, I kept seeing on the news that accidents occurred in the Donggang Reservoir in Hanjiang. From a certain period of time, the number of people drowning in the reservoir began to increase exponentially.
, this seems very abnormal to me. The reservoir itself has not changed much, so it is likely that something ran into the reservoir. I guess it was a fish king that accidentally ran into the reservoir from the river."
"According to what you said, those who drowned should have injuries from being attacked. The police are not stupid. Death by drowning and death by fish attacks are two completely different ways of death, and their properties are completely different."
"You have all been deceived by the Fish King. The Fish King is different from other fish. It is very smart. Besides, it does not necessarily kill people for food. It may just be for fun or revenge." The fishing man seemed to be interested in the fish.
Lei understands very well: "Let me give you another example. You should have seen something biting the hook just now, which means that there is indeed a fish king in this reservoir, but the police did not find it after searching for the body so many times.
Do you know what this means?"
"There is a blind spot in the reservoir, can it just avoid it?"
"Not only that, that big fish is already so smart. As long as there are ships driving on the reservoir, it knows where to hide." The fishing man looked at Chen Ge's unbelievable look. He seemed to feel very happy and coughed.
He made a sound, rubbed his waist and continued: "If you want to catch the King of Fish, you must not treat it as an ordinary fish. You must put its intelligence on the same level as your own and treat it as a cunning fish."
Talent can do it.”
Chen Ge looked at the reservoir and nodded subconsciously: "It will detect the boat driving on the water, which means there are only two ways to catch it. Either catch it on the shore, or drain it dry."
The entire reservoir’s water.”
"It's impossible for the top to drain the entire reservoir just for one fish. Although the Donggang Reservoir has a small capacity, its location is critical, right in the middle of the upstream and downstream." The man retracted the fishing line and checked the break: "It's so thick.
Can all the threads be broken? I have tested the tensile strength and wear resistance before... Huh?"
He touched the thread: "Why does it feel like it was bitten by something?"
"Could it be that there are two big fish in this reservoir?" Chen Ge came over and said something casually, but it stunned the fishing man: "One was caught, the other was rescued and bitten off
Fishing line? I just expressed my opinion casually, it is better for you to judge based on your own experience."
"It's really possible!" The man looked at Chen Ge: "Including this time, I have caught it three times in the past few months, and each time it failed because the fishing line was disconnected."
