caught a fish

Chapter 199: The big guy takes the bait!

In the blink of an eye, three days passed quietly.

During these three days, Lin Dong almost maintained the same work and rest pattern. He was busy at the fishing ground in the morning, went swimming in the city swimming pool at noon, and went fishing in the Zhangze Reservoir in the afternoon.

After dinner in the evening, continue to be busy for three or four hours to cultivate ornamental fish.

It can be said that the whole day is fully arranged.

Today was no exception. This was already the fifth day he had received a random mission. After swimming, Lin Dong drove to Zhangze Reservoir to fish as planned.

"Old Zhang, today's harvest is good!"

"Brother Li, are you late today? Why hasn't it "opened" yet!"

……

After walking onto the embankment, Lin Dong greeted several familiar fishing friends.

He has been fishing here every day in the past few days, so he naturally knows many people.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, the carp you caught today is really big! It must be at least ten catties?"

Soon, Lin Dong stopped, looked at a big carp in the bucket and asked the old man next to him.

This old man was the old man in a straw hat sitting on his right when he first came to Zhangze Reservoir.

In the past few days, the old man also came to fish at this time, and every time Lin Dong came over, he could see the old man.

Therefore, Lin Dong also greeted the old man a long time ago, and knew that the old man's surname was Liu, so he simply called him Mr. Liu.

Same as when we met for the first time, Mr. Liu was still wearing a straw hat. After hearing what Lin Dong said, he raised his head with a smile and said, "Almost, the weight should be around twelve or three catties."

"Tsk tsk, such a heavy carp must be rare, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Dong clicked his tongue and sighed, then put down his things and simply sat beside Mr. Liu.

"It's not too rare."

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Mr. Liu shook his head and chuckled: "You have only been fishing here for a short time. Last month, a fishing friend caught a 26-pound big carp here."

"26 pounds?"

Hearing this, Lin Dong suddenly showed a surprised expression.

You must know that wild carp is different from artificially farmed carp. The general weight is only one or two catties, and it is very rare to weigh more than ten catties.

Even the carps bred in the system's freshwater fisheries mostly weigh around seven or eight kilograms, and few weigh more than ten kilograms.

In the past few days, he observed through the skill of [Exploring Eye], and the fish he saw in the reservoir were also at most seven or eight catties in size.

Therefore, when he saw that Mr. Liu had caught a carp weighing more than ten kilograms, he would show a surprised expression.

But he didn't expect that someone would catch a carp weighing 26 kilograms in this reservoir. This was really beyond Lin Dong's expectation.

However, Lin Dong immediately thought of the third random task he got.

Before, he already had no hope for this task, so he never cared about this aspect.

Now, after hearing Mr. Liu's words, Lin Dong's mind suddenly became active again.

After all, it was a task that cost 10 yuan to obtain, so Lin Dong was naturally reluctant to give it up like this.

Therefore, he immediately turned his head and asked Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, do you know how much the heaviest carp ever caught in Zhangze Reservoir weighs?"

"The heaviest?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly and said in thought: "As far as I know, in June last year, someone caught a big carp weighing 38 catties here."

"38 pounds?"

Hearing Mr. Liu's answer, Lin Dong suddenly felt happy.

Compared with 38 catties and 50 catties, there is only a difference of more than ten catties. Since someone can catch 38 catties of big carp here, it is very likely that there will be 50 catties of big carp in this reservoir.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong immediately looked up at the vast reservoir in front of him, thinking secretly.

Until tomorrow, you can come a little earlier and rent a small boat to go around the reservoir.

After all, larger fish are more likely to be found in the middle of the reservoir than on the shore.

With the assistance of the [Exploring Eye] skill, as long as you walk around the reservoir, you can basically check the fish situation in the entire reservoir.

"I said Xiaolin, what do you do for work? Why do you come to the reservoir to fish every day when you are free?"

Just as Lin Dong was thinking secretly, Elder Liu turned to him and asked again.

"I run a fishing ground."

Hearing this, Lin Dong replied with a smile.

Lin Dong could also understand Mr. Liu's question. After all, the people who came to fish in the reservoir at this time were retired old people like him.

Or it is a middle-aged man who has some leisure time, and there are very few young people like Lin Dong.

Not to mention, Lin Dong has been fishing in the reservoir during his working hours in the afternoon for four consecutive days.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mr. Liu has such doubts.

"A fish farm?"

Hearing Lin Dong's answer, Mr. Liu was slightly taken aback.

Obviously, I didn't expect to get such an answer.

Afterwards, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you, Xiao Lin, to be the boss at such a young age!

However, you have your own fishing ground, why do you still come to the reservoir to fish every day? "

"Mr. Liu, you misunderstood. I run an ornamental fish farm, and I mainly breed some ornamental fish."

Lin Dong shook his head slightly and explained: "Although I have plans to breed food fish recently, I haven't officially put into farming yet.

I have been fishing here for the past few days because I have nothing to do this week, so I chose such a relatively leisurely hobby to kill.

By next week, I'm afraid I won't have time to go fishing here, and I won't be able to see you every day! "

"So this is ah!"

Hearing Lin Dong's explanation, Old Liu nodded suddenly.

"Young people! You should put your career first..."

"Puff!"

Just as Mr. Liu was speaking, his float was suddenly pulled and submerged directly into the water.

"Old Liu, a fish has been hooked!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong immediately reminded Mr. Liu.

When Lin Dong reminded him, Mr. Liu had also noticed it, and immediately grabbed the fishing rod and raised it to retract it.

However, the fishing rod was pulled into a big bow in an instant, and the line could not be retracted at all.

"Pile driving?"

Seeing this, Mr. Liu's face was overjoyed, knowing that this time a big guy had taken the bait.

At this moment, the fish in the water suddenly tried to escape, Mr. Liu was caught off guard, staggered and was almost dragged down.

Fortunately, the old man's reaction was fast enough, and he stabilized his body quickly, but he still looked very struggling, and the fishing line was even tighter and buzzing.

At this time, Lin Dong had also stood up, and immediately stretched out his hand to hold the fishing rod tightly, intending to help Old Liu pull the fish up.

However, the strength of the fish in the water was too great, and Lin Dong immediately felt a strong force, even if he tried his best, he couldn't pull it at all.

"You can't pull it so hard, or the rod and line will be unbearable. You let go first and I will throw the rod first."

Seeing Lin Dong's reckless help, Mr. Liu immediately said to him.

"Oh."

Hearing this, Lin Dong immediately realized that he was not helping, so he nodded and let go of his hand.

After Lin Dong let go, the fish in the water also started to rush forward with all their strength.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu also resolutely let go of the line and threw the pole.

Seeing the fish in the water constantly pulling the released fishing line and rushing forward, Lin Dong also immediately used the skill of [Exploring Eye] to check the situation in the water.

But the next moment, when he saw the situation at the bottom of the water clearly, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on his face.
