Bai Wansheng was still experienced: "Hold the grass! Such a big catfish!"

He ignored his own fishing rod and ran over to pick the fish off the hook.

This catfish is over a foot long and weighs over a pound.

Bai Wansheng has been fishing all his life, but has never caught such a big catfish.

But this was just the beginning. What his son did next was simply dazzling for Bai Wansheng.

He found that as long as his son threw the fishhook into the water for no more than three seconds, the fish would definitely bite the hook and the hook would not be empty.

Moreover, the fish caught are not all in vain. Small fish like Liugen are all crucian carp and catfish.

The son took a net bag which was almost full, and took his fish box too.

Bai Wansheng was depressed. This kind of fishing method can only be seen in fishing ponds, and it cannot be seen in wild fishing at all.

But why couldn't Mao catch any fish by himself?

When Bai Wansheng was depressed, Bai Mang suddenly shouted: "Dad! I feel like I caught a big fish!"

Bai Wansheng ran over with the fishing net in his hand. As soon as he tried the fishing rod, his heart skipped a beat.

Based on experience and feeling, this is a fish weighing three to four kilograms.

Can such a big fish be caught in this river?

What kind of fish can grow so big?

Don’t count on the native crucian carp. If the native crucian carp grows to over one pound, that’s the limit.

The only possibility is catfish.

A catfish weighing four to five kilograms, is this the king of catfish caught?

"This fish has to slip away for a while, but it's a pity that your fishing rod doesn't even have a reel. How can it slip away?"

How he escaped was none of Bai Mang's business. Let me escape here, while he ran to where I was and picked up my fishing rod.

It took Bai Wansheng about twenty minutes to finally catch the fish with a net.

Then he became confused.

This is a red carp, weighing between four and five pounds.

My son caught a carp with an earthworm! How can this be justified?

Although earthworms are called universal fishing bait, they are not attractive enough for big fish, and carp themselves are not very interested in earthworms. Therefore, using earthworms to catch carp is only a theoretical possibility, and has almost never happened in actual wild fishing.

But today Bai Wansheng's eyes were opened.

When Bai Wansheng had just packed up the carp, Bai Mang shouted again: "Dad! I seem to have caught another big fish!"

Bai Wansheng was shocked: Did he catch another one?

He hurriedly ran back to his original position, only to realize that his son had caught dozens of crucian carp and catfish during his effort to catch carp, and the fish box could no longer hold it.

How many fish did my son catch today? It should weigh dozens of kilograms, right?

This time Baimang caught another silver carp, weighing four to five kilograms.

How come we even caught silver carp? Is there any way to do this?

Bai Wansheng brought a fish box, which is now full.

His fishing box is fifteen liters in size and can hold up to thirty kilograms of fish.

Bai Mang brought a net bag with him when he came. This net bag is now full, with at least thirty or forty kilograms of fish.

In other words, in more than an hour, Baimang caught sixty or seventy pounds of fish.

The two men brought the fish home and filled two large washing tubs. Bai Mang's mother was stunned.

"Why did you buy so much fish? You can't even eat it!"

"Whatever you bought, these were all caught by the two of us!" Bai Wansheng retorted without changing his face or heartbeat.

When Baimang's mother heard this, her anger turned into joy: "Can you catch so many fish? Are there two such big ones?"

These fish are definitely inedible and must be dealt with.

The carp was decided to be sent to Grandpa Baimang’s house, along with a few kilograms of catfish, crucian carp and the like.

Bai Mang promised to give fish to Yao Yue's family, and weighed six or seven kilograms of fish, leaving a silver carp and more than ten kilograms of miscellaneous fish for his family.

That's about forty pounds left.

Bai Mang's refrigerator doesn't have room to store so many fish.

"Why not! Take it to town and ask a hotel if they want it."

The two of them rode a three-wheeled electric bicycle and came to the town in the rain.

But there are no customers in the hotel on rainy days, so people don’t want it.

This couldn't be pulled back, so Baimang simply set up a stall in a deserted small market and sold whatever kilograms he could.

Although it was a rainy day, there were still people strolling on the street holding umbrellas. Someone saw the fish displayed by Bai Mang and asked casually: "How much does it cost per catty?"

"Pure wild crucian carp costs ten yuan a pound, and catfish costs fifteen yuan a pound."

"The wild ones are so cheap?"

Wild crucian carp costs more than 20 yuan per catty in the market, farmed catfish costs more than 10 yuan, and farmed catfish costs 15 per catty, while wild catfish basically costs between 25 and 30 yuan.

"Don't they all say wild ones? We caught them in the river ourselves. If it hadn't been a rainy day, would we have sold them so cheaply?"

"Bragging! Can you catch so many fish?"

The two men who originally just asked casually squatted down and began to study.

"Look at the color of this catfish. It's really wild, yellow and black. Farmed catfish are usually light yellow-green." One person said eloquently.

"Really?" another person asked.

"Of course it's true. I've worked in a fish farm for several years, young man! Weigh two catties of catfish, two catties of crucian carp for fifty yuan, please weigh me higher."

After weighing the crucian carp, Bai Mang casually grabbed a small crucian carp and threw it into a plastic bag: "I'll give you one more fish!"

"You're a nice guy. What you're selling isn't that sharp. Don't you want to buy it? If it rains today, fish is cheap. If it's a nice day, the lowest price is five yuan per pound!"

When another person heard this, he thought it was profitable and bought another for fifty yuan.

The fish are still alive and kicking, and the price is very low. Although there are not many people on the street on a rainy day, even if there is one person passing by, Bai Mang will take the initiative to sell it.

People who know the goods will stop and ask a few questions when they hear the price. Some people make business, but some don't.

In this way, by noon, the remaining forty or so kilograms of fish had been sold for more than thirty kilograms, leaving ten or eight kilograms left.

"Dad! You can sell the remaining fish here. I'll go to grandpa's house to deliver the fish to you first. I'll pick you up when I get back!"

Bai Mang rode an electric scooter to Baiyang Village and shouted twice when he passed the door of Yao Yue's house.

Yao Yue, who was preparing to take a nap on a rainy day, ran out.

Bai Mang handed the plastic bag containing crucian carp and catfish to Yao Yue.

"Did you catch all this? Did you catch so many?"

"I'm a fishing master, so catching a few fish doesn't mean anything."

"You say you're fat but you're still panting. Why don't you take me fishing someday?"

"No! I'm afraid you'll get mad if you go fishing with me."

"Why would I be so angry?"

"You watch me catch fish one after another, but you can't catch any, won't you be angry?"

"If you can catch me, you can definitely catch me."

"Haha! Take it back quickly and pack it up. I'm going to my grandpa's house."

Bai Mang came to his grandfather's yard, took the fish out of the car and gave it to his aunt.
