Chapter 0572 – Big Fish

　　The brim of his hat was pressed down to cover his face, the man was holding a fishing rod and his tone was somewhat excited.

　　As Chen Ge approached, the fishing man suddenly uttered such a sentence, which caused Chen Ge’s alarm.

　　He stopped and scanned the other party up and down with his Yin pupils, and only after he was sure that the other party was just an ordinary person, did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had overthought things.

　　Silently watching the man fish, Chen Ge did not disturb him at the critical moment when the fish was hooked.

　　”What a big fish!”

　　The man dragged the fishing rod backwards with both hands, the fishing line was taut, and he realized that there was no way for him to retrieve the line that he had put in.

　　Originally seated on the matzah he stood up and leaned his body back so that he could retrieve the line just a little bit.

　　”Caught something?”

　　Chen Ge was also curious, Donggang Reservoir’s capacity wasn’t big, this place shouldn’t have too big a fish, but special circumstances couldn’t be ruled out, Jiujiang River’s network was dense and connected to several big rivers, it was also possible that a big fish from somewhere else was trapped in the reservoir.

　　”Need help?” Chen Ge walked next to the man and asked in a low voice.

　　The man’s entire attention was focused on the water, and he didn’t reply to Chen Ge’s words, he was dragging back a little bit with all his strength.

　　Chen Ge didn’t force himself, he didn’t know anything about fishing and didn’t dare to just intervene for fear of doing something bad with good intentions.

　　”Is there such a big fish in Donggang Reservoir?” Chen Ge raised his cell phone and shone it at the water surface, and where the glow-in-the-dark drift was sinking, he saw a cloud of shadows slowly emerging vaguely below the water surface.

　　”What’s that?!”

　　The shadow was around one point five meters in length, had a long and thin body, and seemed to be moving up and down.

　　With the darkness of the sky and the fact that it was hidden underwater, if Chen Ge didn’t possess Yin pupils, it would have been difficult for him to see the thing clearly.

　　The man used all his strength, the fishing line was taut, Chen Ge saw this and dodged to the side, he was worried that the fishing line would suddenly break.

　　The man and the fish were wrestling, and it was the first time Chen Ge had seen such exciting fishing.

　　Both sides stalemate more than ten seconds, the man’s strength began to weaken, he looked at the body strong, but feel not lasting, endurance is very poor.

　　It was hard to catch such a big fish, the man was not willing to let go, he had no way to drag the fishing line towards the shore, so he could only stand still and spend with the other party.

　　After another while, with a reeling light sound, the fishing line seemed to be broken by something, the man sat on his butt on the ground and dropped himself.

　　”Crap!”

　　The big fish in his hand was gone, the man cursed in anger and threw the fishing rod on the ground fiercely.

　　That fall just now really hurt him, and he didn’t get up for half a day, but in the end, it was Chen Ge who ran over to help him up.

　　”Older brother, are you alright?” Compared to the fishing man, Chen Ge was more curious about the “big fish” in the water: “What were you fishing for? Are there any other big fish in our reservoir?”

　　Being helped up by Chen Ge, the fishing man’s expression eased a bit, “That’s a king fish, I’ve been following it for three months.”

　　”King fish?”

　　This seemed to be the fishing man’s own secret, he reluctantly said to Chen Ge, “Reservoirs like these that have been built for a long time, as well as some of the large inland lakes may have fish kings, they live for a long time, their size far exceeds that of their peers, and their intelligence is also very high.”

　　”There are fish kings in our reservoir?” Chen Ge felt novel listening to this, Donggang Reservoir was indeed built for a long time, but the reservoir capacity was not too big, it could only be considered as a relatively large kind of small reservoir.

　　”Didn’t you just see it too.” The fishing man straightened his clothes and removed his hat.

　　The man had thin lips and a pair of dead fish eyes, and at first glance, he was a rather mean and hard to get along with type of person.

　　”Then how did you know that there is a King Fish in our reservoir? Have you ever seen it before?” Chen Ge was getting more and more curious.

　　”I’m from our Jiujiang Fishing Association, for us fishing enthusiasts, whoever catches a King Fish, it’s something we can brag about for the rest of our lives, so I usually keep an eye out for information about it.” Fishing man said he found the king of the fish experience, words through a hint of self-satisfaction: “Later I always see on the news Jiujiang Donggang Reservoir accident, from a certain period of time, the number of drowning in the reservoir began to geometrically multiply to upward turn, which in my opinion is very abnormal. The reservoir itself didn’t change much, so it’s most likely that something ran into the reservoir, and I figured it might have been by a king fish that accidentally ran into the reservoir from the middle of a large river.”

　　”According to you, those who drowned should have wounds on their bodies from being attacked, the police are not stupid, drowning and dying from a fish attack are two completely different ways of dying, and the nature of the deaths is also completely different.”

　　”You’ve all been fooled by the King of Fish, the King of Fish is not like other fish, it’s very smart. Besides it doesn’t necessarily kill for food, it might just be for fun, or revenge.” The fishing man seemed to know a lot about fish, “I’ll give you another example, just now there was something biting the hook you should have seen it, which means that there is indeed a King Fish in this reservoir, but the police salvaged the body, and salvaged the body so many times but didn’t find it, do you know what that means?”

　　”That there are dead spots in the reservoir that would be just right for it to hide?”

　　”Not only that, that big fish has gotten smart to the point where it knows to hide whenever there’s a boat traveling on the reservoir.” The fishing man looked at Chen Ge’s unbelievable face, he seemed to have a good time in his heart, coughed, rubbed his waist and continued, “If you want to catch the king of fishes, then you can’t treat it as an ordinary fish, you have to put its intelligence on the same level as your own and treat it as a cunning person.”

　　Chen Ge looked at the reservoir and subconsciously nodded, “Boats traveling on the water will be detected by it, which means that there are only two ways to catch it, either catch it on the shore or drain the entire reservoir.”

　　”There’s no way the top is going to drain the entire reservoir just for one fish, and although Donggang Reservoir doesn’t have a large capacity, it’s in a key location, right in the middle of the upstream and downstream.” The man retrieved the fishing line and inspected the break, “Such a thick line can break? I tested the tensile strength and abrasion resistance …… before Huh?”

　　He touched the end of the line, “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, he casually said, but the fishing man froze in his tracks, “One was caught, the other went to the rescue and bit the line? I’m just casually saying what I think, it’s better for you to judge based on your own experience.”

　　”It’s really possible!” The man looked at Chen Ge, “Counting this time, I’ve caught it a total of three times within the past few months, and each time it failed because the fishing line broke.”
