Chapter 141: Chapter 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.

Of course, that’s just legend. Normally, an Alligator Gar can reach about two meters and some do exceed 70 kilograms in weight.

For an adult Alligator Gar, the one Lin Yang had just caught could be considered a baby.

But even at the baby stage, an Alligator Gar is still a formidable predator, far beyond the likes of Dinggui fish, so in this pond, it was the undisputed Assassin.

Alligator Gars grow quickly, and naturally, Lin Yang had no pity for this invasive species.

And most importantly, since the fish was toxic and couldn’t be eaten, Lin Yang hoisted it without any care, pulling violently without concern for the fish’s mouth getting injured or anything of the sort.

Reeling these creatures in as fast as possible was the only way to minimize the loss to the pond.

With Lin Yang’s forceful yanking, the hooked Alligator Gar was quickly hauled onto the bank.

"Nice one, it’s this thing huh, looks pretty big, hurry and get the guard."

Seeing Lin Yang arriving and hauling up an Alligator Gar in just five minutes, Wang Jian Country and the others were excited.

Only then did they realize, they really shouldn’t have been using the lure, nor should they have doubted Lin Yang’s skills.

"Just get a basin or a bucket, no need for a fish guard, if it’s put in the water it might still harm other fish, and if it lays eggs, that would be a headache."

After removing the hook from the Gar’s mouth, Lin Yang said to an equally excited Wang Jian Country.

Wang Jian Country then immediately went to get a bucket. While he was getting the bucket, Lin Yang silently checked the reward for unlocking the Alligator Gar.

The reward displayed was 500 yuan, 5 points of experience and points, and then another 0.1% of aquaculture knowledge.

Seeing this reward, Lin Yang couldn’t help but curl his lip, as the reward did not meet his expectations, possibly because the Alligator Gar he caught was too small.

In fact, he had more or less figured it out: although unlocking rarer aquaculture species yielded higher rewards, the unlocking rewards were also proportionate to size and depended on luck.

If luck wasn’t on his side, he might hook a rare and large aquatic product and still only get a small monetary reward.

"Never mind, let’s not think about that right now, keep fishing."

Lin Yang shook his head and casually threw the Alligator Gar into a bucket nearby.

After removing the hook, he checked the fish which was still alive, good to use again, and so he simply tossed it back into the water and continued fishing.

About five or six minutes later, with a lift and a jab on his lure rod, Lin Yang knew he had another bite.

Then, battling the fish underwater, he quickly spun the reel, and soon the second Alligator Gar was ashore.

After the second came the third, and after the third came the fourth...

Lin Yang had arrived just before eight in the morning, and by not even nine, he had already caught five Alligator Gars; although they were not very big, this achievement was still impressive.

Keep in mind, some of the others using hand poles who arrived earlier hadn’t caught a single one yet.

"What are you doing? Who let you fish here?"

Just as Lin Yang was still reeling in his catch, he suddenly heard a group of people shouting outside.

Hearing their voices, it was clear that those who had stocked the Alligator Gars had arrived.

Although Wang Jian Country hadn’t wanted Lin Yang to get involved in this affair, now that Lin Yang was here, he definitely wouldn’t just stand by idly.

He put away his lure rod and walked towards the entrance of the pond, then saw five or six ruffian-like individuals climbing over the distant fence and coming in.

Upon arriving, they pointed and gestured at the few people sitting there fishing for Alligator Gars with hand poles.

"Don’t worry, I’m prepared," Wang Jian Country said as he saw Lin Yang approaching, with no intention of dragging him into the situation.

Just as he finished speaking, several cars drove from afar, all of them vans, a total of five.

When these cars parked neatly outside Wang Jian Country’s farm, the doors flew open and approximately twenty or thirty people got out of the vans and headed straight toward the pond.
