Chapter 79: The True Fish King

The fish was in its explosive phase, and Chu Mingcheng didn't rashly yank the rod to reel in; instead, he first tugged with the fish for a while.

It wasn't an especially large fish, but he had already caught several over ten pounds and had plenty of experience; now it was a tug-of-war between him and the fish.

When the fish is not small, and one's own rod isn't stiff enough, a quick battle is basically hard to achieve.

Some people might say that with a fishing rod worth a few dozen dollars, or even a bamboo pole, they could catch a fish of ten or twenty pounds.

It's not wrong to say so, after all, some fishermen don't need a fishing rod to catch fish; with a small boat, they can go to the open sea and directly pull in Golden Spearfish or large Marlin with their hands.

However, the iron rod Chu Mingcheng was currently using did not possess this ability; he had to honestly play with the fish, which might take ten or even twenty minutes.
