Chapter 1488 - 1488: 1488
However, Zuo Xintong had turned off her phone, both her personal and work phones were off.
Liu Zhizhong felt dejected, guessing that she must be asleep?
So, Liu Zhizhong glanced at the fishing rod handle in the water and couldn't be bothered to call her back. Let her sleep, I can bring this fish ashore by myself.
Liu Zhizhong wasn't in a hurry; he first opened the giant net.
The fishing rod handle just rested between two rocks by the water, occasionally moving slightly. This showed that the giant fish had no intention of moving around in the water; it felt safe in this spot and was also very tired.
Looking back, it had been about twenty days already. Even the strongest fish, with a giant hook in its mouth while fighting against the buoyancy of the rod, surely must be exhausted.
Once Liu Zhizhong had everything ready, he approached the water quietly.
At this moment, the whole fishing rod had floated to the water's surface, not moving much.
Liu Zhizhong suddenly grabbed the fishing rod handle and gently lifted it towards the sky.
Immediately, there was a loud humming sound, as the fishing line burst into a crackle.
A huge force, caught in the rocks, was clearly transmitted to Liu Zhizhong's hands.
He quickly held the rod with both hands, preparing to withstand the giant fish's underwater attack.
But who knew, after the fishing rod bent into a big arch, the giant fish underwater didn't move an inch.
By the time the creature reacted, though it was already tired, it struggled with all its might. How vigorous was its dash?
Liu Zhizhong held the rod firmly, but even then couldn't hold on.
With a snap, the fishing rod broke at the waist.
The giant fish underwater, dragging half of the broken rod, plunged into the water like a submarine, making a deep escape.
Liu Zhizhong slapped his thighs until they were swollen, watching that piece of the broken rod finally disappear at the midpoint between the two Huajian formations, where it met the vast water, then vanished.
My goodness!
A giant indeed!
It had escaped back to even deeper waters outside.
From the feel of it, Liu Zhizhong thought this one might be even bigger than the one he had pulled up before!
Darn it... There are really no few Giant Green Fish in this river!
Liu Zhizhong stood by the water, holding the broken half of the rod, speechless for a while, filled with regret.
The next morning during breakfast, he talked about it with Zuo Xintong.
Zuo Xintong was also full of regret, giving him a look, and said, "See, if you had used the rod I specially customized back then, how could this have happened? So that Giant Green Fish, after such a long time without eating, turned out to be even heavier than your smaller one. How large must it have been? About 270-280 pounds?"
Liu Zhizhong replied, "Yeah, maybe that big! But it doesn't matter, as long as there are such giant creatures in this river, my two nests will foster them, continuously for two to three months, then we'll start fishing them again!"
"Well, that approach works. As long as the Giant Green Fish know there is food somewhere, and there is no danger, they will stay around. Furthermore, only an increasingly larger Giant Green Fish will occupy such a food spot; then, once you cast the rod, you'll catch a fish!"
When it came to fishing, the beautiful female mayor, Zuo Xintong, indeed seemed like an expert, speaking with great reason.
"Exactly! My two nests are nearly a hundred meters apart. Then, each of us with a rod, casting at the same time, let's see if we can catch fish simultaneously?"
"Great!"
