Chapter 141 - 126: Fishing for Alligator Gar_2
But they soon realized they were wrong.
Just as Lin Yang had tossed the fish into the pond for less than five minutes, a dark shadow suddenly shot up from the bottom of the pond and bit into the bait on Lin Yang’s lure rod.
Seeing that he had a bite, Lin Yang also reacted instantly with a pull, a lift and a jab, and in a flash, the fish was hooked.
"Got one!"
As he lifted the fishing rod high, he quickly hoisted a creature weighing almost four or five jin, with a mouth as big as a crocodile’s, out of the water.
This thing was an Alligator Gar!
The Alligator Gar, in fact, is a general term for the Gar family in domestic terms, but actually, there are seven types of Alligator Gars in America. Apart from the species Lin Yang had just caught, the species currently spotted in China include the Longnose Gar, the Shortnose Gar, and the Broadnose Gar.
Regardless of the type of snout, this creature is an invasive species, and it’s a particularly nasty type of fish; even those who love fishing can’t bring themselves to like these creatures.
The Alligator Gar Lin Yang had just caught was also the largest of all the Gar species, with legends saying the largest can grow over three meters and weigh two to three hundred jin.
