That same evening, Zhou Miao sent a message to Yu Muzhou informing him about the large grass carp at the reservoir.

I thought the other person would be restless and, even if I didn't invite him to night fishing, they would drive over the next day to take him fishing.

But this time, it took Zhou Miao three whole days to receive a call from Yu Muzhou saying they were going fishing.

At seven o'clock in the morning, he stood by the roadside with his newly bought fishing rod, waiting.

Zhou Miao didn't have to wait long before a pickup truck slowly pulled up in front of him. Inside the truck bed were two large bamboo baskets, the contents of which were unknown.

The car window rolled down, and Yu Muzhou tossed his head at him: "Get in the car."

Zhou Miao first put the fishing rod in the back seat, and then got into the passenger seat.

"Brother Zhou, what's in those bamboo baskets in your truck bed?"

Yu Muzhou started the pickup truck and set off, explaining, "Inside are snails for baiting and large river clams for fish bait. Both of these are what grass carp like to eat, and they won't cause environmental pollution."

"If we weren't waiting for these things, I would have asked you to go fishing for big bluefish yesterday!"

"You've prepared way too much!" Zhou Miao was both amused and exasperated upon hearing that there were only two things.

He had planned to go to the market to buy some snails and clams when he went to buy breakfast in the morning.

As it turned out, Yu Muzhou said he had prepared everything, but he didn't expect to prepare so much.

"It's better to be prepared. These big bluefish in the reservoir are already quite clever; a little food might not attract them."

"That's true."

Before eight o'clock, the pickup truck arrived at the reservoir.

Because it was a weekday, there was no one at the reservoir in the morning, making it very quiet.

Yu Muzhou parked the car and came to the truck bed. He first picked up a parasol and handed it to Zhou Miao, then two deck chairs.

Zhou Miao accepted the items with a strange expression. He hadn't expected that the man had prepared all of these things, as if he were preparing for a long battle. There was even a folding table.

A dozen minutes later, tables and deck chairs were set up on the side of the reservoir, with parasols behind them to block out the sun.

This needs to be moved according to the position of the sun, otherwise it won't block the sunlight at noon.

Yu Muzhou took out his fishing rod and tackle box and placed it next to him.

Zhou Miao then moved a styrofoam box to the side, opened it, and found it was full of drinks and fruits, with a lot of meat underneath.

It's confirmed: Yu Muzhou's fishing trip today was a pretense; his real purpose was a picnic.

Zhou Miao was quite satisfied with this, at least fishing wouldn't be so boring.

Since only one grass carp was found, he was destined to be just there to accompany the fishermen.

If Yu Muzhou hadn't helped him resolve the subsequent troubles, Zhou Miao really wouldn't have told him about the big bluefish.

At most, I'll find a good fishing spot and then bring him along; that way, it won't prevent me from making money.

Finally, Zhou Miao returned to the truck bed, picked up a water ladle, removed some snails from the bamboo basket and put them in the plastic basket next to it, and took out about ten river clams that were almost the size of his palm.

Once the goods were moved to the shore, Yu Muzhou took over and scattered the snails to create a feeding area. In a short while, he had scattered about twenty catties of them.

When fishing for freshwater fish, you need to wait a long time after baiting the area, at least an hour.

The two put on the life jackets they had brought, and then slowly tied the fishing line to their fishing rods, not in a hurry to start fishing.

The line used was very thick, the same braided line Zhou Miao usually uses when sea fishing for big fish. The hooks were also very large, so catching fish weighing over 200 pounds was definitely not a problem.

The big-fish rod cost him over three thousand yuan, and the quality was okay. But technique is key; if you don't handle it properly, even the best rod will break.

Zhou Miao set up the support frame before using a dagger to open a large river clam.

"Wow, so many pearls."

As soon as the clam opened, he saw five pearls of different sizes and irregular shapes.

"It would be strange if someone this old didn't have a single pearl." Yu Muzhou chuckled and made a comment as well.

His eyes lit up when he discovered a pearl inside that was over one centimeter in diameter, very lustrous, and perfectly round.

He cheerfully picked it up and showed it to Zhou Miao: "Look, my luck is on my side today!"

"Brother Zhou, using your luck on this isn't a good thing!" Zhou Miao squeezed out all the pearls hidden inside the clam meat, but unfortunately, he didn't find a single good one.

He was even thinking of getting a few dozen to make a bracelet for each of his two daughters!

As a result, none of the eight pearls from the first clam were good, and Yu Muzhou was still showing off to him. How could he let the other party show off to him?

Yu Muzhou's smile froze instantly. He looked at the pearl in his hand and suddenly wondered why his hand was so foolish as to pick such a clam.

Without a second thought, he tossed the pearl to Zhou Miao, saying, "The thing's with you, it has nothing to do with me anymore!"

"Okay, this time it's on me!" Zhou Miao happily put the pearl away.

Although freshwater pearls are inexpensive, they are still very beautiful and suitable for making jewelry.

The two men each baited their hooks with clam meat and threw them into the water where they had made their fodder, with only two meters between them.

What followed was a long wait; such a large hook had already kept out 99.99% of the fish in the reservoir.

If a carnivorous fish appears, it will still tear the clam meat off piece by piece.

So Zhou Miao picked up another lure rod, tied the fishing line to it as well, to prevent carnivorous fish from disturbing the bait.

"Ah Miao, if you catch any fish later, remember to let me go first," Yu Muzhou instructed.

"Are you sure? That grass carp is quite big, and this kind of fishing rod doesn't have a reel to cushion the line. Aren't you afraid of getting pulled into the water?"

"It's okay, I'm wearing a life jacket! Even if I'm in the water, I'll still wear it. At worst, I'll just swim around in the water for free."

"Alright, if I win, I'll let you go first."

Even if Zhou Miao had a lot of luck when fishing for freshwater fish, he couldn't expect to catch a fish as soon as he put the bait in.

So this time, after waiting for more than half an hour, and after Yu Muzhou scattered some snails to create a feeding area, Zhou Miao's floating buoy on the water suddenly disappeared with a "whoosh".

The two people on the shore got up almost at the same time after they noticed, but Zhou Miao was faster and quickly picked up the big fishing rod and lifted it up with force.

The rod tip immediately emitted a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air, and then the fishing rod bent sharply downwards. An extremely powerful force swept over him, pulling him forward two steps.

Zhou Miao never expected that the fish would be so strong when fishing with a heavy-duty rod; they were even stronger than the two large seven-banded groupers he caught in the fishing competition.

Those two weighed over 150 jin each, and together they sold for 90,000 yuan.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Zhou Miao forcefully stood the fishing rod upright, with the tip almost perpendicular to the ground.

Yu Muzhou, who was standing next to him, wanted to take over the fishing rod, but seeing how hard Zhou Miao was working, he hesitated and didn't dare to go.

He knew his own situation; when fishing for big fish at sea, he could use the fishing reel to cushion the impact, but now it was truly a battle of strength between the two sides.

At this moment, the big fish was struggling fiercely, and the fishing line was constantly hissing.

This made Yu Muzhou particularly nervous: "Just how big is this fish? How come it's so hard for even you to catch it?"

"Super powerful!" Zhou Miao replied quickly as the fish exerted its strength, then focused his attention on dealing with the big fish.

Even if Yu Muzhou wanted to take over now, he wouldn't dare to give it up.

Give it to him, and he'll definitely be able to perform the magic of disappearing instantly. At that point, Zhou Miao will have no choice but to jump into the water to save him!
