Bro wasn't fishing, and Shi Tian wasn't in a hurry either. After all, Sun Lang had already cast his line, so recording anything was pointless.
Wandering to one side, he took out his phone to look up the habits of Catfish; he had never fished for them before. Previously, he had caught Mian Gua in Xishuangbanna. Although they looked similar to Catfish, the two species were quite different—one belonged to the Carp family and the other to the Catfish family.
In spring, Catfish preferred shallow waters with flowing currents and rocky areas, often seeking out shadows. Fishing for Catfish under a bridge seemed quite suitable. Using thick line and large hooks with stinky bait was fine since meat-eating fish were attracted to strong scents. However, Catfish were mostly active at night, so it might not be easy to catch them during the day. He decided to let Sun Lang warm up by catching some Bighead Carp first.
Brother Niu had already hooked several Little Carp, making the brothers on the shore eager to join in. No matter how small Carp were, they weighed at least one or two pounds; larger ones could go over three pounds, which was much better than waiting all day without a bite.
"Hey brother, do you have any more Plastic Particles for Old Niu? Share some with me; I want to try my luck at the Bridge Pier too!" This time it was his turn to offer Shi Tian a cigarette, doing so with great respect.
The two guys on the left Bridge Pier hadn’t caught anything, while Brother Niu on the right was reeling them in one after another. It was clear that before Brother Niu set up on the Bridge Pier, Shi Tian had given him a handful of Plastic Particles; it must be those that were making a difference.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of water? That side is pretty deep; be careful!" Shi Tian chuckled as he pulled out a handful of Plastic Particles.
Watching Shi Tian hold the Plastic Particles, Brother Niu smiled as he took them from Shi Tian's hand. "It's true I'm afraid of water, but as long as there are fish, I can overcome that!"
"Where did you buy these Plastic Particles? Sell me some!" Brother Niu recognized their value and wanted to stock up after seeing how effective they were.
"That's all I have left. They were given to me by an old man named Jiang Baihuzi. He used them with a straight hook and easily caught big fish weighing over a pound!" Shi Tian said with mock seriousness.
Once he had the Plastic Particles in hand, Brother Niu tossed a pack of cigarettes into Shi Tian's arms with a light laugh. "I guessed right; that fish must be named Ji! You really can read fortunes."
"I can tell you’ll definitely catch big fish today. It's just a pity your gear is lacking a bit. Remember to bring your Loss Prevention Rope to avoid breaking your rod or losing your line!" After accepting the cigarettes without hesitation and stuffing them into his pocket, Shi Tian grabbed his Fishing Chair and moved closer to Brother Niu's Fishing Spot, waiting for him to wrap things up.
"This is Reinforced Steel—Second Generation! If I really break my rod, I'll treat you all to a feast!" As he packed up his gear and lifted his Fishing Chair, Brother Niu moved it onto the platform.
Once he set up his Fishing Chair, he ran back to grab his Loss Prevention Rope and headed up to the Bridge Pier with his Rod.
With one big fish already caught, Shi Tian quickly set up his Fishing Chair. He adjusted his Rod at eight meters deep, found the bottom for his float, and waited for Sun Lang to change rods so they could get started.
Unpacking only one bag of Catfish Wo Liao bait, he prepared a spot and hooked on a large worm he had just bought that morning. Whether or not he would catch a Catfish depended entirely on whether they were willing to bite today.
While Shi Tian and Sun Lang were still getting ready, Brother Niu on the Bridge Pier had just hooked another fish. The first rod produced quite a catch; judging by the sound of its struggle, it seemed like it was going to be a good-sized one.
Oh no!
As soon as the sound echoed, a commotion followed.
Oh no!
When the symphony began, Shi Tian looked up and realized this wasn’t just a joke; it was truly happening. After focusing on Float for a moment, the line snapped. The line broke in an instant—what a big fish it must have been!
With the line cut and the fish gone, Shi Tian slapped his thigh in frustration. His older brother glared at him, furious. It was all because of that crow's mouth; he had claimed to have suffered from broken lines due to big catches, and now it seemed that prophecy had come true.
Fuming, he ran back to change the line. Shi Tian didn’t gloat but quickly took out a set of lines and handed them to his brother.
“Here, use this line,” he said. “Xing Brand. That big fish earlier was caught using this line.”
Shi Tian’s words left his brother stunned for three seconds.
“You knew my line wasn’t strong enough?” he asked as he took the line from Shi Tian’s hand.
“Of course! I reminded you earlier, but you didn’t believe me. I couldn’t just force you to change your line!”
Shi Tian’s remark nearly choked his brother; he had indeed mentioned it before, but at that time, he hadn’t believed it! This wasn’t really Shi Tian’s fault.
Defeated, he held the line and was about to head back to Bridge Pier when Shi Tian quickly stopped him. “Big Brother, it’s not just about having the Line Setup; you need to change your Rod too. It’s best to switch to Xing Brand; otherwise—”
Before Shi Tian could finish, his brother dashed over.
“Shut up with your crow’s mouth! There’s no ‘otherwise’! If I hook a big fish, I can definitely reel it in!”
Fine then! As soon as his brother spoke, he decided to keep quiet and fish obediently!
With a dark float and a lift of the rod, he felt the pull. The fish wasn’t big—only about two or three pounds at most.
There was no need for finesse with such a small catch; he could just drag it up directly. With a firm tug, the fish reached the shore without even putting up a fight.
Once the fish was on land, Shi Tian turned to glance at Sun Lang, who immediately followed Shi Tian’s gaze back to the fish they had just caught.
Wow! Looking at the fish, Shi Tian exclaimed without thinking: “Is this what they call a Dead Fish Bite? Did you really catch it?”
“Dead Fish Bite,” Sun Lang replied as he glanced at Shi Tian. “Is that still not enough?”
When Shi Tian hooked the fish earlier, he could clearly feel it struggling on the Fishing Rod. How could it be dead after just that short distance from water to shore?
He took out his phone and opened the recent Zhongyu Animation. He used the Customized Rod, and it was clear that the fish he had just caught was alive. How could it have stopped working after just a few steps?
There weren't many people around for the Dead Fish Bite. When Sun Lang shouted, a group of people quickly ran over to watch from a distance, eager to see the commotion.
Getting them to come closer was impossible. They were all interested in the Dead Fish Bite, but they didn't have the courage to approach it up close; they were already preparing to leave with their belongings.
When he pulled up the animation, he saw that the fish had indeed bitten perfectly, and it was confirmed to be Alive when it took the hook. However, it had been attacked by some mysterious aquatic creature halfway through, which led to what was now called the Dead Fish Bite.
How did this thing end up in the Yangtze River? Looking at the Zhongyu Animation, Sun Lang was somewhat dumbfounded. Could it really be played like this?
