1291. Water (2)
Old Ao rowed the boat and left, feeling Qiao Meixue's giggle echoing on the lake. It was a nightmare to be dragged away by such a woman!
The wooden boat passed through the weeds, and a few night herons flew up.
Night herons are a night-breaking person and like to settle in groups. One of their characteristics is that they are very destined. They will not leave immediately after the threat appears. They often wait until the threat comes, and they will suddenly fly out of the hiding place, making rattles while flying.
This is also their ability to survive. They are most unable to escape when facing natural enemies, but they can often scare natural enemies so that they can't feel at ease when eating their own meat.
Ao Muyang pushed Lu Wuyi to Qiao Meixue without any help. He wanted to dive to hunt the big catfish tonight with the night light, and he would probably stay under the water for a long time. If Lu Wuyi followed him, he would have to keep breathing, which would be too delayed.
He rowed the boat to ask the villagers fishing on the lake, identified several places where the big catfish were found, then found one of them, and began to slowly sprinkle chicken liver bait under the water.
There are many freshwater fishes such as carp, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp and crucian carp. They have the largest number. Shortly after Ao Muyang sprinkled chicken liver bait, he saw large grass carp also come to eat.
The big catfish has not appeared for a long time, so he is not in a hurry. He brought a lot of chicken liver bait tonight. He slowly sprinkled it and waited for it to appear. This is destined to be a protracted battle.
He was under the water, floating beside the boat and overlooking the lake, constantly sprinkling chicken liver bait. Finally, at midnight, the figure of the big catfish appeared.
The big catfish can survive until now depends on both luck and strength. It is very cautious and has been swimming close to the bottom of the lake to feed the chicken liver bait that falls to the bottom of the lake.
The chicken liver bait was soaked in water in advance, and it was already soaked and swollen. After it fell into the water, they would float in the water. In this way, the piece of bait hanging on the fish hook was mixed with beads and mixed with it.
Ordinary catfish or vegetarian fish will greedily swim in the water and eat, while this big catfish has no interest in chicken liver bait floating in the water. It only swallows the pieces of chicken liver that fall at the bottom of the lake.
Seeing this, Ao Muyang understood that this big catfish was difficult to deal with and was very smart.
It should be because it knows that the food floating in the water is not safe. Sooner or later, these foods will fall to the bottom of the lake and belong to it sooner or later. Just be patient and wait.
But this guy was quite patient. Seeing that he had finished eating the chicken liver that had sunk to the bottom of the lake, Ao Muyang was about to leave and go to the next place to eat.
In this way, the host and guest identities of this fishing event were changed. The big catfish treated the anglers as the breeders who came to feed it, shook their heads and tails, and did they eat happily.
Originally, Ao Muyang planned to discover the big catfish, and then release gold drops to attract it to swim in front of him, and then seize the opportunity to give it a fork.
Now he changed his mind. He found that the big catfish was very smart, but after all, it was a fish, and its IQ level was just that. It did not eat bait floating in the water, but it did not refuse the bait sinking at the bottom of the lake.
In this way, Ao Muyang decided to use a fishing rod to fish it.
He quietly returned to the boat and put away the fishing line, replaced the luminous float with a lead sinker, then placed the long fishing line, and sank the chicken liver hanging from the hook to the bottom of the lake.
The catfish is greedy. Even if this big catfish is smart, it cannot change its temperament. When it faces the food delivered to the door, it will eventually stop talking.
The fishing line was suddenly pulled up, and a huge force appeared. Ao Muyang knew that the big catfish had taken the bait!
He fought with it while setting up a long fishing line and shouted, "I have a big fish on my side. It should be that catfish. Brothers come here to help!"
Hearing his shouts, many small boats rowed over, especially the fishermen who fished at night in the village, rushed to help.
The catfish has a big mouth and a big head and strong force. It is not easy to catch such a big fish after biting the hook. Ao Muyang fought with it for more than ten minutes, and then handed the fishing rod to a fisherman in the village. Everyone took turns to fight.
It took nearly an hour to get the big catfish out of the water.
As the big catfish was dragged up, the anglers on the wooden boats around them shone on flashlights, and soon saw the huge figure of the big catfish.
"I'm going to make it, such a big catfish is rare."
"It's rare in China. I've seen it when I was traveling in Thailand. It's bigger than this, and it must be two meters away. That thing is so exciting!"
"Come on, everyone row the boat and get out of the way, don't get stuck."
"Fourth brother, hand me the harpoon. Village chief, please be careful when you drag it back. We won't be able to shake this last time, don't let it run away!"
The big catfish was very cunning. The moment it was dragged out of the water, it suddenly slapped its tail and used its last strength to run under the water.
"Go away!" A long shout sounded, and a harpoon quickly penetrated into its fish head.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the big catfish not only did not die immediately, but instead struggled even harder.
This is a dying struggle, but as long as the harpoon is inserted into its head, it will be useless no matter how hard it struggles.
Cheers rang out, ropes tied to the harpoon, and someone rowed the boat to drag the rope, dragging the big catfish to the shore.
Ao Mubing also came to fish. He stepped in the water to help lift the big catfish onto the shore. He couldn't help but sigh: "This catfish is too big. Unfortunately, it's at night, otherwise it would be possible to create big and small news during the day."
Ao Muyang said: "It's not simple. Hang the fish up and let everyone see it tomorrow morning, start processing it in the afternoon, and make a big pot to stew it in the evening."
"Can such a big catfish be eaten?" someone muttered.
Ao Muyang said: "Why can't you eat it? There has never been a human being in Ambergris. It has definitely not eaten human flesh. It just grew up with humus, fish, shrimps and crabs at the bottom of the lake. Moreover, the water in Ambergris is not polluted at all. What problems can the fish grown here have?"
He took people to send the fish to the village ice warehouse for storage, and then took it out and hung it on the trees to display it for the villagers and tourists to see it.
It is rare to produce big fish in the Tamsui Lake. I caught a big fish in the village before, which once caused a temporary sensation.
Such a big catfish is more shocking than a big catfish. The catfish is known as a water tiger. Fishermen all know that it can grow very well. It is not uncommon to grow one or two meters long.
However, such a big catfish has never appeared in the freshwater in the Hongyang area. Many people think that catfish can only grow to about ten pounds, so the big catfish can still cause a lot of discussion.
