"Okay, thank you Mr. Wu. The situation is like this..."
Le Lu told me in detail a strange thing he encountered recently.
Fishing is a sport that many men are addicted to.
From those in their 70s and 80s to those in their teens, there are those very obsessed "fishing guys".
Le Lu has a nephew named Le Ji, who is about thirty years old this year. Five years ago, he followed him from his hometown in Hunan to work in Shenzhen City.
Unlike Lelu who likes to tinker with electronic and digital products, Leji worked as a chef apprentice in his hometown restaurant when he was 17 or 18 years old. So after he arrived in Shenzhen City, he also worked as a chef.
Gradually over the years, he became a fishing guy.
When not taking a break from work, Lucky would go fishing in a suburban reservoir with a group of anglers.
Last week, the owner of the restaurant where Lucky worked wanted to go home early for the Chinese New Year, so he closed the business early and gave the restaurant employees a day off. Leji wanted to stay in Shenzhen City and wait for his uncle Lelu to return to his hometown together, so he stayed here temporarily.
When I have nothing to do, I naturally enjoy fishing!
A few days ago, Lucky went alone to a small abandoned reservoir in the suburbs for night fishing.
The so-called night fishing, as the name suggests, means fishing in the middle of the night.
In the circle of "fishing guys", if you have never done "night fishing", you can't be called a veteran.
At about ten o'clock that night, Lucky took his fishing tools, rode his scooter, and set off towards an abandoned reservoir in the north of Bao'an District...
Regarding this small reservoir, there is still a bit of mystery among the "fisherman" circles in Shenzhen City.
It is said that ten years ago, a breeding owner contracted it because he thought it was suitable for fish farming and the scenery was good. A family of three built a small house next to the reservoir, where their life and business are integrated, and it is very comfortable.
The business was very good in the past few years. The owner of the reservoir made a lot of money by selling various fish raised in the reservoir.
But unexpectedly, something happened later!
The owner of the reservoir and his family of three suddenly went crazy one night. They all jumped into the reservoir for no apparent reason and drowned!
It was a nearby villager who came the next day - a part-time helper at the reservoir. He found that the boss and his family were not there, and there was no sign of him even after looking for him. Called the police.
Eventually, the police pulled the bodies of the family of three out of the reservoir.
After forensic analysis of the body's condition and criminal investigation of the traces where the body fell into the water, it was determined that the owner of the reservoir and his family of three committed suicide!
This is strange.
The nearby villagers all know that the three members of the reservoir owner’s family have a harmonious relationship, and they can also make money by raising fish in the reservoir. Why do you suddenly get out of your mind and commit suicide by diving into the water late at night?
The more I think about it, the more it makes me feel hairy, with a bit of a weird and supernatural aura.
Since then, the reservoir has been directly abandoned - no one dares to take over and contract it, and the fish in the reservoir live in it and continue to grow and reproduce.
Gradually, the story of the reservoir owner's family of three who committed suicide and drowned became less frightening. The fish in the reservoir attracted many fishermen.
It has become a holy place for wild fishing in Shenzhen City!
There was even a fisherman named Deng who caught a large silver carp and bighead carp weighing more than 20 kilograms from the reservoir, making other fishermen envious.
The reason why Lucky came to this reservoir for wild fishing was because he wanted to catch a huge fish!
Because small fish often make nests during the day, the fish mouth becomes messy, and the rod is often lifted, but no fish is hit or all the hits are small gadgets.
The chance of this kind of problem occurring at night is relatively small, mainly because the small fish basically stop talking at night. Without small fish making a nest, the rate of catching fish will be greatly improved - especially for medium and large fish!
Lucky rode his motorcycle to a place about two to three hundred meters outside the reservoir, stopped the car, and turned off the engine.
Then you have to carry fishing gear and a folding stool and walk through an overgrown path.
On a winter night, the cold wind was howling, but his heart was very hot - there must be a big deal tonight!
Lucky walked to the best fishing position that he had already set up during the day, put down the small bench, and sat down. Start preparing in the night breeze...
He glanced around and across from him out of habit, and was surprised to find that he was the only one fishing at night tonight.
You know, there are quite a few people fishing at night in this abandoned reservoir on weekdays, usually about three or four.
Because the reservoir is generally oval, even if the fishermen sit far away from each other so as not to disturb each other, they can still see the light of smoking or night lights.
I know I am not alone by the reservoir in this barren mountain.
But that night, Lucky found that he was the only one there!
An inexplicable chill suddenly crept into my heart.
The night wind blew by, and Lucky couldn't help but shiver.
Coupled with the sudden thought of the strange rumor that the boss's family of three drowned in the reservoir, I suddenly became a little panicked...
But then I thought about it, there were many people who came here for night fishing before, and they never encountered anything strange. Today might be just a coincidence, I happened to be here alone, so there is no need to scare myself.
In addition, the desire in his heart to catch a huge fish allowed him to overcome the inexplicable fear. Continue to prepare fishing gear in an orderly manner and get ready to fish!
Don't tell me, Lucky is really lucky.
Not long after the bait was placed, fish began to bite within three to five minutes.
And based on his experience, this feeling shows that the fish is not small yet!
Lucky gently lifted the thread, feeling happy in his heart.
"At least four or five pounds!"
Pull hard.
Wow!
Soon, a big fish came out of the water.
When I put it away with a fish protector, I saw that it was a white-striped beak that was of good quality.
"Hehe! The mouth is good, the meat is delicate and delicious. It is suitable for steaming. When I take it back, I will get some scallion oil and steam it. It tastes very good!"
Although Lucky is from Hunan, he likes spicy food. But after all, I have been in Shenzhen for a long time, and I have some Cantonese food preferences.
For example, I like to steam fish with scallion oil.
He continues fishing...
One after another.
In less than an hour, five or six big fish were caught.
This made Lucky even more determined that a truly huge product will be released tonight!
It was probably around twelve o'clock at night.
He felt the fishing rod in his hand sink suddenly, and suddenly there was a strong force. It seemed that the fish that had bitten the hook was struggling wildly.
The fishing rod is pulled directly into an arc and bent.
Accidentally, I almost dragged him into the water!
"Holy crap! How powerful is that? It must weigh more than ten kilograms or even twenty kilograms. It's really a big deal!"
At this time, Lucky had completely forgotten the slight fear of being alone in the wilderness reservoir late at night, leaving only the incomparable excitement and excitement.
You must not let this fish go!
"Calm down, calm down, don't be in a hurry. Take your time. Don't explode the pole. I will regret it for at least three years if I let this big guy go."
This is the dignity of a fisherman!
Blah blah blah, blah blah...
The big fish struggled, the water exploded, and white waves arose.
Under the light of Lucky's headlamp, he could already faintly see the huge fish body under the waves, and it seemed that the fish's tail was flapping on the water's surface.
"It seems like silver carp and bighead carp! I'm going to break the record for silver carp and bighead carp today too."
