I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 103: Catching Fish Again

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Catching Fish Again

Cui Ruogou felt like he could hardly breathe.

Damn it...

What do they mean by calling me arrogant? Isn’t it the pond owner and his wife who forbid me from using the long rod?

That’s not what really infuriates me.

What makes him even more angry is...

Though there are currently over eight thousand viewers in the live stream room, when he checked the backend, he found that he only had forty thousand fans now!

Before he started leeching off Ye Chen’s popularity, he clearly had sixty thousand fans!

All of this was sabotaged by that Ye Chen from the opposite shore!

The pond owner’s wife restricted him to use only a short rod, and made him pay so much in pit fees.

Needless to say, that definitely must have been something Ye Chen arranged secretly.

Those who started calling out for rod snapping and burst out laughing were also Ye Chen’s fishing buddies.

Now, the ones ruthlessly attacking in the live stream room are still Ye Chen’s fans...

Thinking about this...

Cui Ruogou felt not just out of breath, but also a dull pain in his chest.

No...

For the greater plan, he must endure, he must persevere...

Cui Ruogou glanced at his fishing gear.

Though breaking a fishing rod that cost thousands hurt him deeply.

He still had a better 3.6-meter-long rod.

The owner’s wife said he could only use a 3-meter rod, so the 3.6-meter rod technically didn’t break any rules.

Also, this rod was just bought yesterday—it’s an investment Cui Ruogou made after nearly going broke.

No choice...

The owner’s wife kept watching him like a hawk, even if he wanted to sneakily use a longer rod, it was impossible.

Moreover, after spending so much on the pit fee, he had to keep fishing here no matter what.

Taking a few deep breaths and composing himself, Cui Ruogou began to tie the line to this 3.6-meter rod, adjusting the float...

And to avoid another big fish causing the rod to snap again, Cui Ruogou also prepared a pair of scissors in advance.

With the quality of this 3.6-meter rod and his fishing skills, pulling up a fish weighing twenty pounds shouldn’t be a problem.

But if the fish weighs more than twenty pounds, then he would have to painfully cut the line.

Cutting the line means to sever the line.

Generally, there are active line cuts and passive line cuts, which are common situations in fishing.

Active line cutting is easy to understand.

It’s when the angler decides that if the fish can’t be pulled up, or if something absurd is hooked, they would actively cut the line short to stop the loss and prevent the rod from snapping.

Passive line cutting happens during the process of fishing, where the line breaks naturally.

There can be many reasons for this, such as poor quality of the line or being the fish too big, or the water too shallow.

Of course, for these anglers.

When they encounter a big fish, most would take a gamble and try hard to pull the big fish ashore.

Even if the rod snaps eventually, they wouldn’t actively cut the line.

After all...

A broken rod can be replaced, but the chance to catch a big fish doesn’t come often...

But the situation Cui Ruogou is facing now is indeed too complicated.

For his short poles, he prepared one 3.4 meters and another 3.6 meters.

In this kind of pond fishing, the shortest rods used are generally over five meters.

Who would have thought, the owner’s wife here only allows me to use a three-meter short rod for fishing.

But there are shorter rods than three meters, the shortest being 2.7 meters, and there isn’t any shorter than that.

You should know, it’s already difficult to fish with a 3.4-meter fishing rod, let alone a 2.7-meter one. Isn’t that a joke?

So, Cui Ruogou, who only has a 3.6-meter fishing rod left, has already decided that if he encounters any fish over 20 kilograms, he will choose to cut the line actively, no matter what.

That’s the only way to preserve his last short rod...

After setting up the line and baiting the hook, Cui Ruogou casts again.

Maybe even the heavens want to make fun of Cui Ruogou.

Less than half a minute after he casts his line, his float moves.

He lifts the rod—there’s a bite!

Cui Ruogou reacts swiftly, and he can tell from the weight of the fishing rod that it’s another big fish!

The next second, Cui Ruogou’s eyes fiercely twitch.

Because the fish he caught this time seems to be much bigger than the one that just exploded his rod!

Originally, his plan was good; if he encountered a big fish, he would decisively cut the line to prevent the rod from exploding!

But now that he feels the size of the fish he’s caught, Cui Ruogou falls into a dilemma.

After all...

How often in one’s life does one get the chance to catch such huge creatures?

Moreover, he’s currently in the middle of a live stream!

At the same time, the scene on Cui Ruogou’s side once again attracts the attention of the people at the fishpond.

Many of Ye Chen’s fans are mocking Cui Ruogou’s poor skills in his live stream room.

But actually, the fact that Cui Ruogou managed to catch big fish twice in a short time shows he has some skills.

From a distance, Ye Chen, seeing this scene, feels a bit bitter.

Why hasn’t his own hook caught Cui Ruogou yet?

It’s one thing not to catch Cui Ruogou, but Cui Ruogou keeps catching fish, and they seem to be big ones!

However bitter Ye Chen feels, how could he miss creating a buzz?

This time, Ye Chen personally leads the chant.

"Rod burst, rod burst, rod burst!"

The continuous three shouts of rod burst make the old fishermen beside him understand Ye Chen’s intent.

Then they join Ye Chen in shouting.

Soon, just like before, the whole fishpond spontaneously starts shouting for the rod to burst!

And the viewers in Ye Chen’s live stream room also become eager.

Though they are not at the scene, they don’t delay in joining in.

Not only are these people spamming ’rod burst’ in Ye Chen’s chat, but some troublemakers even go to Cui Ruogou’s live stream room to type the words ’rod burst’.

In no time, both the fishpond and the live stream room are filled with shouts of ’rod burst’!

Hearing such noise, Cui Ruogou has a bitter face.

Just cutting the line doesn’t sit well with him.

But if he doesn’t cut the line, his last fishing rod might just burst...

After hesitating for a while, his 3.6-meter fishing rod actually holds up.

At this moment, Cui Ruogou steels his heart and makes a decision.

He cuts the line himself!

After all, better safe than sorry.

Cut the line, and later he can just tie another fishing line.

But if the rod bursts, then his fishing today is completely done!

Thinking this, Cui Ruogou grabs the fishing rod with one hand and picks up the scissors from the ground with the other.

But just at that moment, the fish hooked by Cui Ruogou’s line suddenly jumps out of the water.

This jump is critical, and Cui Ruogou’s eyes pop out.

On the surface of the fishpond, a nearly two-meter-long fish’s back is conspicuously tied with a red rope.
