A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

Seeing that he was almost done, Yang Qi ran to Wang Jian's side with a worried expression and asked, "Brother Wang, are you alright?"

Wang Jian waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm liking your fishing spot more and more, Brother Yang."

"...Hahaha," Yang Qi scratched his head, "It's good that you're alright. It's just that Brother Wang was in such danger just now, you should have let go, after all..."

"Ahem." Zhang Guolu coughed to interrupt, changing the subject, "Boss Yang, how big is your bluefish?"

"Hmm..." Yang Qi pretended to be thoughtful, frowned, and held up four fingers.

"Around 400 jin (200 kg)."

"Four hundred jin!"

"Holy crap, a real 400-pound grass carp."

……

The nearby fishermen spread the word, causing another commotion.

What does a 400-pound fish mean?

None of the fifty people present had ever seen a behemoth of this size.

Let alone 400 jin, even 200 jin grass carp is a legendary existence in the wild fishing circle.

Most people who have been fishing for over ten years have probably only caught a fish weighing twenty or thirty pounds.

And now, a 400-pound grass carp is right in front of them, right in this reservoir.

The worst part is that it just bit the hook and then started taunting us.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Wang Jian.

Envy, jealousy.

Lin Zaitian walked over, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Old Wang, you're really something else. Out of fifty people, you were the only one who got bitten by the big one. The rest of us were just fishing for underlings, but you went straight for the boss."

Wang Jianbei felt proud, and his back straightened unconsciously. He laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. This is fate, destiny."

"Fate my ass." Lin Zaitian spat. "Your pole is broken. When the pole breaks, you fall. It's fate but not destiny. Don't be a fool. It will only be mine."

"Hahaha……"

Those around him burst into laughter upon hearing this.

But beneath the laughter, an undercurrent was brewing, and everyone was holding back a pent-up energy.

Why him?

Why can't it be me?

The fish is still in the water; it will bite again. Next time, next time it might be my rod.

Yang Qi watched all this, the smile on his lips never fading.

He was very satisfied with the result of 26 people hitting the bullseye.

Then, looking at the 24 people who hadn't had a fish caught too many times, he said, "Brother Wang, I won't disturb your fishing any longer."

"Okay." Wang Jian nodded and bent down to tidy up his newly replaced fishing rod.

The rod that cost over two thousand yuan just broke into three pieces, but he didn't even frown. He turned around and pulled another one out of his rod bag.

It was thicker and longer than the broken one.

Yang Qi turned around and went back to the door of the small house, moved a chair, and sat down under the tree.

This spot offers a great view, with the entire reservoir in sight. It's sheltered from the sun and has a cool breeze, making it very comfortable.

Thoughts enter the water.

The locations of the remaining 24 people were very clear in his mind, and he thought to himself:

"Since we're all here, everyone gets a share."

A thought arose.

Twenty-four large fish took the bait at the same time.

"Here it comes! Me too! I got a big fish!"

"Holy crap, that was even stronger than the last one!"

"Hold on, hold on! Use the pole to hold it down, don't let it escape!"

Snapped……

The rod snapped open.

Various scenes immediately appeared on the shore.

A sudden loss of force caused him to fall backward, landing on his back with the chair.

He was pulled forward by the fish and stumbled several steps, his knee hitting the stone.

There were also those who were dragged into the water, splashing high into the air. After struggling to their feet, their shoes were stuck in the mud and they couldn't pull them out. Standing barefoot in the water, holding up a broken fishing rod, their expressions were both funny and heartbreaking.

"This pole cost me 1,800!" someone exclaimed, heartbroken.

"What's 1,800? Old Wang's 2,000-plus one broke too, didn't it?" The person next to him chimed in quickly.

"Losing two thousand or so is no big deal, it's about showing off! We can brag about it for a year!"

The people on the shore burst into laughter.

The 24 people were not discouraged because they did not catch any fish.

Looking into each other's eyes was incredibly exciting and thrilling.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the water, soaked to the bone, his shoes gone, his hat askew, and his trousers rolled up to his thighs.

He walked to his fishing spot, took out his phone, took a picture of the fishing rod that had broken in two, then took a selfie of himself soaking wet, opened his WeChat Moments, and started typing.

"Today at Yangjiacun Reservoir, we encountered a huge creature. Our pole broke, and we had to go into the water. It was worth it."

The picture was posted, and someone commented in less than a minute.

How big?

He replied with a single word: "Big".

Then someone asked, "How big exactly?"

He thought for a moment and replied with three words: "Very big."

Yang Qi sat under the shade of a tree, watching all of this with a wide smile on his face.

I stopped trying to control the fish and let nature take its course.

With 510x speed-up and the anglers' feeding, the fish in the reservoir are growing like crazy, and the frequency of being hooked won't be low. But whether you can catch them depends on your own skills.

He took out his phone, leaned back in his chair, and started watching videos.

He opened the short video platform, scrolled down the local page twice, and the first video on it stunned him.

The video was shot vertically, and the footage was very shaky. In the video, a huge, dark blue-green figure leaped out of the water, the sunlight shining on the fish's scales, making them dazzlingly bright. The entire scene lasted only a few seconds.

The caption reads: "A 500-pound fish has been spotted in Yangjia Village Reservoir! Wow!"

Yang Qi's lips twitched.

10,000 likes and over 2,000 comments.

He continued scrolling down.

The second one is even more outrageous.

It's the same scene, but edited into slow motion, with a high-energy background music added. The title is: "A 600-pound behemoth emerges from the water, let's get our hands on it!"

The third headline is soaring: "My God! I've never seen such a big grass carp in my life! 700 jin (350 catties) from Yangjiacun Reservoir!"

Yang Qi fell silent.

How long has it been?

From the time that fish jumped out of the water until now, it's been less than an hour.

Click on the comments section of this 700-pound person.

"Where's the address? Where is it? I'll go tomorrow!"

"This fish must weigh 700 pounds, right? Looking at its head, it doesn't seem like it."

"Yangjia Village? Which Yangjia Village? Is it the one in Xitian Town?"

"If the person upstairs finds my address, please kick me! Thanks!"

"I've never heard of this reservoir. Is it a newly opened fishing spot?"

"Never mind, I'll save this for later and find it using the location tomorrow."

Someone analyzed seriously: "Look at the arc of that fish leaping out of the water. A fish that big can't be raised in water that isn't deep enough. This reservoir is at least seven or eight meters deep."

Some people, just joining in the fun, commented: "A 700-pound grass carp? You'd have to use a steel wire to fish for it, right?"

Some people have already taken action: "I just searched on the navigation app, and there are two Yangjia Villages. I don't know which one it is. Do you have the exact address?"

Yang Qi scrolled down a few more times and found that more than one person was posting.

The same scene was re-edited and uploaded by different people with different angles, different titles, and different music.

In another video, someone shouted "Let's get it!" off-camera. The shout was so loud that it was captured separately.

The discussion grew rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

"There must be only a handful of grass carp this big in the whole country, right?"

"I checked, and the largest grass carp ever recorded in China weighed over 200 jin (100 kg). If this is real, it would break the record."

"The video doesn't look photoshopped; the water reflection and ambient light match up perfectly."

Yang Qi turned off the comments, placed his phone on his lap, and looked up at the water.

The sun was shining brightly, and the water was sparkling.

His reservoir is about to become a hot topic.
