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

To Yang Qi's surprise, Gu Shang handled the 400-pound grass carp with ease.

The fishing rod was bent into a full bow, and he leaned back, remaining motionless, seemingly unfazed by the pressure as he confronted the bluefish.

The standoff was so loud that it attracted the attention of all the fishermen, and discussions immediately broke out.

"It's out! It's that one! A 400-pound grass carp!"

"My God, it really is! It really weighs 400 pounds!"

"Look at that head, that build, he must weigh well over 400 pounds, right?"

All the anglers simultaneously put down what they were doing, packed up their fishing rods, and walked in that direction.

They wanted to witness the battle of the 400-pound grass carp firsthand, and hoped to see that moment.

Soon, a crowd of people gathered a few meters behind Gu Shang.

"Excuse me, excuse me, let me film a video!"

"Look at that curve! That rod didn't break at all! What kind of rod is that?"

"Don't push, don't push, let me see!"

"Four hundred catties of grass carp, netizens weren't lying!"

"What netizens? I was here yesterday and saw that fish jump out with my own eyes! You guys missed out on that scene!"

"That's right, that's right, this reservoir is full of big fish! I've already hooked two fish in a row!"

"Two are nothing! Old Wang over there, he's already had three! He's here again today, and he's got a new one!"

Discussions rose and fell, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

"Do you think we can catch this fish?"

"It's hard to say." A middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and began to analyze the situation with an air of seriousness.

"A 400-pound fish exerts at least 1,000 pounds of pulling force in the water, which an ordinary fishing rod simply cannot withstand. Look at that rod in that person's hand, it's bent like that but it hasn't broken, it must be a high-end imported one. But even if the rod and the line can withstand it, a 400-pound fish suddenly darts down, and a person might not be able to withstand it."

"But, to my observation, there is no sign of it being dilapidated at all."

"Can anyone tell me if it's possible to participate?"

"We can't pull it up." An old angler with tanned skin held a cigarette in his hand. "I've been fishing for thirty years. What haven't I seen? A four-hundred-pound grass carp, unless the fish wants to come up on its own, no one can pull it up."

"I don't really think so. You know how sea fishing is? You can catch 400-kilogram tuna. Judging from that person's situation, it's possible that he might catch a 400-kilogram herring."

"I also think it's possible."

"cannot."

"able."

"..."

"..."

The fishermen who were observing split into two groups, with the majority unable to fish.

After arguing for a while without reaching a conclusion, the crowd turned their attention back to Gu Shang.

A 400-pound grass carp, a pulling force of over 1000 pounds, and a man who remained motionless.

Standing at the door of the small house, Yang Qi watched this scene with a sense of wonder.

Is this person that powerful? They didn't even flinch.

Look at the water.

The 400-pound grass carp was churning in the water, and the anglers watching from the shore were as excited as if they were watching the World Cup final.

Looking at the man who got off the helicopter, he didn't move an inch, as if he were rooted to the spot.

Regardless of whether the grass carp lunges forward or darts to the left or right, keep your legs still and reel in and let out the line in and out according to the grass carp's movement.

Extremely stable.

Out of curiosity, Yang Qi stepped over.

I pushed through the crowd, glanced to the side, and burst out laughing.

Not far away, Gu Caipang, Wang Jian, Lin Zaitian, Chen Ming, Zhang Guolu, and Dai Jiangyang stood together, craning their necks to look.

"Brother Wang, Brother Lin, and everyone else, how was your morning?" Yang Qi walked over and greeted them with a smile.

Lin Zaitian was the first to turn around, beaming with pride, and said, "Great! Boss Yang, why do I feel like there are even more big fish in your reservoir than yesterday? I just caught one, it exhausted me, and when I pulled it up, wow, it was a silver carp weighing a little over 36 jin!"

Wang Jian replied, "I caught a whitebait this morning, but it weighed eight jin (4 catties). Can you believe it?"

"Of course I believe you." Zhang Guolu came over and patted Yang Qi on the shoulder: "Boss Yang, I'm really growing to love your reservoir more and more."

"Me too." Dai Jiangyang and Chen Ming spoke almost at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed.

Yang Qi looked at the five old customers and was genuinely happy.

A large number of repeat customers are essential for the reservoir to achieve long-term success.

"Hey guys, wanna have lunch?" Yang Qi asked with a smile.

"Your brother is back?" Wang Jian asked.

"I'm back. I arrived last night."

Hearing about food, Gu Cai Pang squeezed in and interjected, "Five brothers, let me tell you a secret, Yang Ge's younger brother is an amazing cook! That grilled fish he made last night, tsk tsk tsk, the taste still makes my mouth water just thinking about it."

"Really?" Wang Jian asked, still somewhat skeptical.

Gu Cai Pang patted his round belly and said seriously, "I swear on my belly, if I'm lying, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Hahaha……"

He made everyone laugh.

"Okay, then I'll try your brother's cooking at noon." Wang Jian nodded with a smile.

As the group was chatting and laughing, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Look! That fish is putting its strength into it!"

Their gazes refocused on the water.

The 400-pound bluefish leaped out of the water again, this time jumping even higher, with most of its body above the surface.

As if provoked, it whipped its tail wildly in mid-air, twisting its body into an exaggerated arc.

Then it crashed back into the water, sending a splash more than three meters high.

Before the gasps of surprise from the people on the shore had even subsided, they saw Gu Shang move.

He had maintained that unhurried pace until now, but at this moment he suddenly changed.

Yang Qi squinted, and he vaguely saw Gu Shang take a deep breath.

With that breath, Gu Shang's demeanor changed.

Slightly bend your knees and lower your center of gravity.

Then I started to exert my strength.

Holding the fishing rod with both hands, I swung it rhythmically and quickly.

The rod tip constantly changes angle as it swings, and each swing perfectly dissipates some of the force from the grass carp.

The momentum of the giant underwater creature was consumed and neutralized with each swing; its brute force was like hitting cotton, unable to exert any force.

Feeling that it was about time, Gu Shang suddenly pulled his arm behind him, causing his entire upper body to lean back.

A muffled sound came from underwater.

The momentum of the bluefish rushing forward was abruptly interrupted.

The bluefish, its movements interrupted, stiffened its muscles due to the sudden release of force.

Gu Shang seized the moment and quickly spun the reel. The fishing line hissed as it was pulled back in.

"He's reeling in the line! He's reeling it in!"

"Such fast movements, could it really be catching one? How is that possible? A 400-pound grass carp..."

The bluefish grew impatient and wanted to plunge headlong into the deeper waters.

Sensing the sudden increase in pressure, Gu Shang's lips moved slightly.

Once you're up here, don't go down.

Small-scale fishing method, casting the rod with the back of the arm.

Gu Shang took a deep breath, exerted his strength again, grabbed the fishing rod, and swung it violently behind his back.

Give, me, get up...
