Golden Fishing Village

Lao Ao rowed away, feeling Qiao Meixue's giggles echoing on the lake. Being dragged away by such a woman was a nightmare!

The wooden boat passed through the weeds, and several night herons flew up with quacks.

Night herons are nocturnal and like to settle in groups. They have a characteristic of being very calm. They will not leave immediately after a threat appears. They often wait until the threat is close before suddenly flying out from their hiding place, making quacks while flying.

This is also a kind of survival ability for them. Most of the time, they are unable to escape from natural enemies, but they can often scare their natural enemies so that they can eat their meat without peace of mind.

Ao Muyang had no choice but to push Lu Wuyi to Qiao Meixue. He had to use the cover of night to dive and hunt the big catfish tonight. He might have to stay underwater for a long time. If Lu Wuyi followed him, he would have to keep floating up to breathe, which would waste too much time.

He rowed a boat to ask the villagers who were fishing on the lake, and identified several places where the big catfish had appeared. Then he found one of them and began to slowly scatter chicken liver bait underwater.

There are many freshwater fish in the lake, such as carp, grass carp, bighead carp, silver carp and crucian carp. They are the largest in number. Soon after Ao Muyang scattered the chicken liver bait, he saw big grass carp coming to eat.

The big catfish did not appear for a long time, but he was not in a hurry. He brought a lot of chicken liver bait tonight, so he slowly scattered it and waited for it to appear. This was destined to be a protracted battle.

He was underwater, floating on the side of the boat and overlooking the situation of the lake. He kept scattering chicken liver bait. Finally, at midnight, the big catfish appeared.

The big catfish can survive until now, relying on both luck and strength. It is very cautious and keeps swimming close to the bottom of the lake, eating the chicken liver bait that falls to the bottom of the lake.

The chicken liver bait had been soaked in water in advance and had swelled. After falling into the water, they would float in the water, so that the bait hanging on the hook would be mixed with fish eyes and pearls.

Ordinary catfish or bighead carp would greedily swim in the water to eat, but this big catfish had no interest in the chicken liver bait floating in the water. It only swallowed the chicken liver fragments that fell to the bottom of the lake.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang understood that this big catfish was not easy to deal with and was very smart.

It should know that the food floating in the water is not safe. These foods will fall to the bottom of the lake sooner or later and belong to it sooner or later. Just be patient and wait.

But this guy is quite patient. It looks like it is ready to leave after eating the chicken liver that sank to the bottom of the lake by Ao Muyang, and then go to the next place to eat.

In this way, the host and guest identities of this fishing activity have changed. The big catfish regards the anglers as the breeders who come to feed it, shaking its head and tail, and eating happily.

Originally, Ao Muyang planned to release the golden drop to attract the catfish to swim to him after he found it, and then seize the opportunity to fork it.

Now he changed his mind. He found that the catfish was very smart, but it was a fish after all, and its IQ level was just so-so. It did not eat the bait floating in the water, but it would accept the bait sinking to the bottom of the lake.

In this way, Ao Muyang decided to use a fishing rod to fish it.

He returned to the boat calmly and reeled in the fishing line, replaced the luminous float with a lead sinker, and then let out a long fishing line to sink the chicken liver hanging on the hook to the bottom of the lake.

Catfish are greedy, and this catfish can't change this nature even if it is smart. Faced with the food delivered to its door, it finally took a bite.

The fishing line was pulled up suddenly, and a huge force appeared. Ao Muyang knew that the catfish was hooked!

He let out a long fishing line and fought with it while shouting: "I have a big fish on my side, it should be that catfish, come and help me!"

Hearing his shout, many small boats came over, especially the fishermen in the village who were fishing at night, all came to help.

The catfish has a big mouth and a big head. It is not easy to catch such a big fish after it bites the hook. Ao Muyang fought with it for more than ten minutes, then handed the fishing rod to a fisherman in the village, and everyone took turns to fight.

It took nearly an hour before the big catfish was dragged out of the water after exhausting its strength.

As the big catfish was dragged up, the anglers on the surrounding wooden boats turned on their flashlights and soon saw the huge figure of the big catfish.

"I'm surprised. Such a big catfish is rare."

"It's rare to see a professional catfish in China. I saw one when I was traveling in Thailand. It was bigger than this one, about two meters long. It was awesome!"

"Come on, let's row the boat out of the way. Don't get the line stuck."

"Old Four, hand me the harpoon. Be careful when you pull it back, village chief. We don't need this last shudder. Don't let it run away again!"

The big catfish was very cunning. The moment it was dragged out of the water, it slapped its tail and used its last strength to rush underwater.

"Let's go!" A long shout sounded, and a harpoon was inserted into its head quickly.

After such a heavy blow, the big catfish not only did not die immediately, but struggled even harder.

This is the dying struggle, but as long as the harpoon is inserted into its head, it will be useless no matter how it struggles.

Cheering rang out. There was a rope tied to the harpoon. Someone rowed a boat and dragged the rope to drag the big catfish to the shore.

Ao Mubing also came to fish. He stepped in the water to help lift the big catfish to the shore. He couldn't help but sigh: "This catfish is too big. It's a pity that it's at night, otherwise it could have made some big news during the day."

Ao Muyang said: "It's easy. Hang the fish up and let everyone see it tomorrow morning. Start processing it in the afternoon and stew it in a big pot at night."

"Can such a big catfish be eaten?" someone muttered.

Ao Muyang said: "Why can't we eat it? No one has died in Ambergris Lake, so it must not have eaten human flesh. It just eats the humus at the bottom of the lake and fish, shrimps and crabs. Moreover, the water of Ambergris Lake is not polluted at all. What can be wrong with the fish grown here?"

He took people to send the fish to the village ice storage for storage, and then took it out and hung it on the tree at dawn to show it to the villagers and tourists.

It is still rare to produce big fish in freshwater lakes. The village caught a big catfish before, which caused a sensation.

This big catfish is more shocking than the big catfish. The catfish is known as the water tiger. Fishermen know that it can grow very long. It is not uncommon to grow to one or two meters long.

But there has never been such a big catfish in the freshwater of Hongyang. Many people think that catfish can only grow to about ten pounds, so this big catfish hanging out can still cause a lot of talk.

In the morning, the catfish was hung for display, allowing tourists to take photos and group photos. In the afternoon, Ao Daguo took people to deal with it. There were hundreds of people watching, including Jiang Xue and Xu Nan, who held up cameras to record the whole process.
