After some thought, I decided against it; I couldn't bear to part with the bait. I quickly grabbed a handful and, taking advantage of Zhang Junming's distraction, hid the remaining bits away.
Once everything was set, I counted out ten pellets from my pocket and placed them on Zhang Junming's plate. Then, I took a handful of corn from my own plate—there was no reason to hold back on that, so he could use it freely!
With everything ready, Lobster smiled slightly and said, "Zhang Junming, once you’re set up, cast over there. You should get a bite in about half an hour. Remember, half an hour per cast; don’t overdo it!"
Under Lobster's watchful gaze, Zhang Junming reluctantly lowered his rod and turned back to his fishing box.
"Zhang Junming," I reminded him, "the Grass Carp are strong and your rod is short. It’s best to tie on a Xia Shou line; otherwise, you might snap your rod!" After giving this advice, Lobster reeled in his own rod and turned to help Wang Gou, as the fish over there were almost ready to be caught.
As Lobster assisted Wang Gou in netting the fish, he shook his head slightly. This fish was close to ten pounds again, while he had only caught one weighing six pounds. If things continued like this, he might end up losing to Wang Gou tonight!
"Dog Brother," he said, "Zhang Junming has already been lured over. If things go poorly tonight, I’ll have to stay here with him all night. If it gets late, you can take my car and park it at the Fishing Tackle Shop; no need to lock it up. I'll pick it up myself tomorrow."
"There’s surveillance at the Fishing Tackle Shop entrance, and they open around four o'clock. Parking there shouldn’t be an issue whether you lock it or not."
Wang Gou was also worried about Lobster's situation.
"Try to get there as early as possible; we’ll head to Pan Hei Keng tomorrow afternoon." After saying this, Wang Gou tossed the fish into the Yu Hu and turned back with a grin.
They had certainly witnessed the power of this bait; bringing this divine lure to Pan Hei Keng would surely guarantee success!
Whether it was the boss or the bait didn’t matter; what was important was silencing the nearby Fishing Buddy—this was an achievement they hadn’t yet accomplished!
"Don’t worry! It won’t take long!" Lobster assured with a chuckle.
Returning to the fishing spot, Zhang Junming hadn’t had any bites yet and was starting to feel anxious.
Seeing Lobster approach, Zhang Junming opened his mouth to speak, but Lobster pointed at Zhang Junming's float and said urgently, "There’s movement!"
As Zhang Junming reached for his rod, Lobster quickly whispered a reminder: "Don’t rush! The fish hasn’t taken it properly yet! Wait for a horizontal drift or a downward pull before you lift it; right now, the fish is just sampling!"
With a bite finally happening on Zhang Junming's line, Lobster wasn’t in a hurry to cast again either. They were close enough that casting now could scare off the fish; they needed to assess the situation first!
"Lift!" With Lobster's command, Zhang Junming suddenly raised his rod. Whoosh! The rod bent sharply!
"Don’t use brute force; be careful not to snap your line! Move that way a bit and try to keep the rod upright!" Under Lobster's guidance, Zhang Junming managed to raise his rod slightly.
However, good times didn’t last long! With a sharp cracking sound, Lobster smiled with relief—at least that line setup hadn’t gone to waste. The rod snapped into three or four pieces with a loud crack; it sounded crisp and powerful—this rod was of good quality; definitely high carbon!
"Oh no!"
Crack!
A resounding slap echoed as Zhang Junming watched the Rod disappear into the endless darkness. Frustrated, he threw the broken piece of the Broken Rod into the water!
Sigh! That fish must weigh at least thirty pounds! He smacked his thigh hard, suppressing a smile, while Lobster looked on with a face full of regret.
Hearing Lobster's words, Zhang Junming's expression darkened even more!
It’s definitely more than thirty pounds; the Rod didn’t even stand up before it snapped! It nearly dragged me into the river; it must be over fifty pounds! Quickly correcting himself, Zhang Junming added.
Great, whatever you say it weighs is what it weighs! We can’t just pull it up to weigh it, can we?
Sitting on the Fishing Box, he took a drag from his cigarette, occasionally hearing Zhang Junming swatting mosquitoes. In the time it took to smoke one cigarette, he had already swatted several times; who knows how many he had killed!
Long Zong, take a break and have a smoke. I need to borrow your Rod. I’m determined to catch that fish! Rubbing his legs, Zhang Junming stood up with a grin and shoved a pack of cigarettes into Lobster's hands. He wasn’t planning on returning Lobster’s Rod until he finished this pack!
Watching his Rod fall into Zhang Junming's hands, Lobster pursed his lips.
You little rascal, you caught a big fish and broke your rod; you’re not going anywhere tonight! Zhang Junming was new to this and still lacked proper gear; when his four-and-a-half-meter Rod broke, he didn’t have a spare.
But for Lobster, this was no big deal. With the four-and-a-half-meter Rod broken, he simply pulled back the Fishing Box a bit; a five-meter-four rod would work just as well. After all, fishing at an angle—what difference does it make? If he weren’t worried about the hassle of reeling in the fish, he could use a three-six rod to catch Grass Carp!
While Lobster was fretting over how to go about Fishing for Big Fish, the group of Fisherman who had rushed over that night were having their own troubles!
They had been fishing for over half an hour; as soon as they cast their lines, something bit immediately. The bobbers seemed electrified, never settling down!
What in the world is going on? I’ve caught four or five pounds of Wo Liao, but while I’ve attracted plenty of fish, not a single decent one! Pulling up his line, he looked at the small palm-sized Bai Tiao on his hook and vented his frustration.
He had already cast out into waters over two meters deep and was now using an eight-meter rod, yet every time he cast out, it was just more Bai Tiao. Where are all these little fish coming from in over two meters of water?
You’ve caught four or five pounds of Wo Liao! I haven’t even set up a bait spot here; every time I cast out, it’s just more Bai Tiao! What’s going on with these fish?
They were certain there were Grass Carp around. Not only did Lobster and Wang Gou catch big fish over there, but they occasionally heard splashes from Grass Carp on their side too.
But seeing those big fish doesn’t help at all! The bobbers won’t stay still; no matter what bait you use, they keep jumping around—how are we supposed to catch anything like this?!
