However, the appearance of the sea bass was telling Chu Mingcheng a message: there were already fish being attracted to the area.
He continued casting the lure, pulling and stopping repeatedly, and after several attempts, he saw a greyish-brown big fish leap out of the water and gulp down the bait; the next moment, the rod dipped sharply.
Wow, he did not think it was small when he saw it just now, and the force transmitted from the rod now was even beyond his expectation.
When he jerked the rod to set the hook, the rod lifted but the tip didn't follow through, bending quite severely.
This was actually because the lure rod was a bit too soft. If he had used his boat rod, he could have pulled the fish up directly.
After pulling a couple of times and feeling that the fishing line could withstand it, Chu Mingcheng tightened the drag lock and began to reel in the fish.
