Chapter 1628 - 1628:
As soon as he lifted the rod, he felt a powerful pull coming from the water.
The super rod immediately formed a large arc.
The thick fishing line buzzed tautly.
The giant creature in the water seemed to take nearly three seconds before realizing it, then immediately exerted force and fled toward the deep water.
As it fled, the fishing line emitted a sharp whistling sound, and the rod bent more severely, even creaking at the joints.
Liu Zhizhong thought to himself: Not good, it's too big, might not hold, the rod's going to break!
This thought had just flashed through his mind when he felt an even stronger force from the underwater creature.
So, he quickly dropped the rod, letting the giant creature drag it through the water.
Because when setting up his fishing spot, Liu Zhizhong had already secured a failsafe rope.
This failsafe rope was a custom steel spring rope, ordered specially when Zuo Xintong gave him the rod.
When contracted, the spring rope was ten meters long, but it could extend to about seventy meters.
Zhang Minmin next to him was also too excited to contain herself, exclaiming that her husband was really amazing, and this time he caught a fish possibly even larger than the two in the courtyard!
Watching the rod being dragged, it shot into the water like a rocket, and soon even the rod handle was out of sight.
Only the powerful steel spring rope was rapidly pulling taut, quickly straightening.
And Liu Zhizhong held tightly to the other end of the failsafe rope with a sizable grip ring, standing up to face the showdown with the fish.
But who could have known?
The powerful failsafe rope soon stretched to its limit, the enormous drag still present, clearly the giant creature was still fleeing into deeper waters, showing no sign of turning back.
This threw Liu Zhizhong into a panic, nearly making him jump into the river. He thought of dealing with the Giant Sickle Fish in Tianping Pond, but it was too late.
At the last moment, the failsafe rope almost instantly went taut, and then Liu Zhizhong felt his hand lightened.
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but curse: "Damn, it still came off the hook!"
"Ah?" Zhang Minmin was also shocked.
But just then, the failsafe rope strongly retracted, soon returning to its initial state, coiling in the water.
Subsequently, the rod floated up more than twenty meters from the shore.
Liu Zhizhong was dumbfounded, saying: "The fishing line only used 15 meters, plus a seventy-meter failsafe rope... damn, this creature had a sprint escape distance of over a hundred meters! Too big, too big, ah~~~~"
As he spoke, he pulled the rod back, and when he picked it up, he was shocked once more.
Because this time, in order to catch the giant creature, he used a single hook single line, even choosing a size 32 super-strong Iseni hook.
However, this large fish hook had been forcibly pulled open, almost at a 150-degree angle.
Though it didn't break, it was enough reason for the hook to come off.
On the barb of the hook, there was still a small strand of fish lip tendon, with some small bits of meat.
Liu Zhizhong was filled with frustration, looking at the calm water surface, not knowing what to say.
"Minmin, it seems that the creature underwater weighs more than two or three hundred pounds, at least over three hundred pounds. With my current equipment, I can't handle it. Such a giant creature, having lived to this point, really learns from experience. Next time, facing food, it will be more cautious."
Zhang Minmin said, "Fish, it's just fish, how smart can it be, use bigger hooks!"
