However, you have to pay this money back. Once you sell the soy sauce and make some profit, remember to return this amount to me. With a serious tone, Rod made his statement, and before Wheel could react, the line spool began to release line frantically, indicating a big catch.
They came to Victoria Lake to fish with lures, where there was a species of large fish known as Nile Perch. These fish could grow up to nearly four hundred pounds and over two meters long. If one could be caught, it would surely be quite an exhilarating experience.
Such high-end lures weren't really suitable for A Heng's skill level; he was just playing around here. Lu Ya had definitely fished here before, but whether he had caught any Nile Perch was unclear.
Despite its name, the Nile Perch didn't originate from here; it was brought over by the Brits in the 1950s. This fish has proven to be quite successful, much like the Brits themselves. In just fifty years, it managed to wipe out over two hundred fish species in the Nile River, which is far more impressive than the Asian carp's impact in North America.
Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. As the Nile Perch population increased, so did the fishermen. In recent years, the Nile Perch in Victoria Lake has nearly been fished to extinction, prompting countries in East Africa to begin protective measures against them. They prohibited the use of small nets; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing for the Queen.
Tightening the drag, Shi Tian watched as a large fish leaped out of the water. He quickly lowered his rod; the target fish had arrived and was starting to splash!
Shi Tian had experience fishing for Largemouth Bass; he had caught plenty of Sea Bass before in Sanya. Although one lived in freshwater and the other in saltwater, both belonged to the same family.
"Come on! Don’t tell me that big fish is yours!" A Heng exclaimed as he rushed over at the sight of huge splashes on the water's surface.
"Did you see that? It's still taking line! With this fish, this trip to Africa will be worth it!" Shi Tian grinned proudly while shaking his rod. No matter how much that big fish thrashed in the water, after three or five jumps, it would tire out!
"This fish is too big; step back so it doesn't drag you into the lake! Let me help you tire it out!"
What kind of sensation would such a large fish provide? A Heng stared at Shi Tian’s rod and reached out as if wanting to take over.
He couldn't dare hand over his rod to A Heng now. If it were a Carp or something similar, giving it away wouldn't matter much—just hook it well and adjust the drag properly; bringing it up wouldn't require too much skill.
But Largemouth Bass required technique; they often shook off hooks when trying to escape. The most commonly used Texas Rig meant that the Bullet Weight would play a role at this moment.
However, this fish was too large for just relying on the Bullet Weight; he had to keep tension on the line at all times. The fish would slow down when pulling line underwater; if it dared to shake its gills and he quickly reeled in without loosening the line, the hook wouldn't come off!
"No way! I’ll handle this myself; catching this fish isn’t like catching ordinary ones—the chance of losing it is too high! You just observe from the side." Shi Tian pulled his rod aside just in time; if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, A Heng might have taken control.
