Tian Yuanliang's face lit up with joy, and his eyes were especially bright.

He and his father-in-law had been stuck here for nearly 10 hours, feeling extremely bored.

Although he had just been woken up, he was not sleepy at all, simply because he had slept for a long time during the day.

But when he heard that there was a fish being caught, he immediately became excited.

"Wait a minute, I'll get dressed."

He is an experienced angler and knows that he must be prepared for any eventuality when fishing.

Now in the middle of winter at night, the air is not only very cold, but also very freezing.

If you don't take adequate warming measures, when a fish bites the hook, you may not be able to pull the fish ashore because your hands are stiff.

Tian Yuanliang was very grateful that he had prepared a thick jacket and two or three warm sweaters in advance.

Even if you fish on the river bank all night, you won’t feel too cold.

"Dad, are you dressed enough? If you're cold, I have some extra sweaters."

It is his custom to call his father-in-law "Dad".

And his father-in-law was also very nice to him and treated him like his own son.

Tao You looked very energetic. Although he was over 55 years old, he looked as energetic as a young man.

"Why are you panicking? I'm fine! I've also put on several heating pads, so I won't be cold."

After the two were ready, each of them held a fishing rod and other equipment in one hand, and carried a backpack with grains for baiting.

Although the highway was full of parked cars in the middle of the night, it was exceptionally quiet.

The noise of them walking on the highway was very obvious, and with the crunching sound of their feet on the snow on the road, they soon arrived at the river bank of the highway bridge.

Tian Yuanliang looked down at the bridge. Although the highway bridge had a thick iron fence, the fishing rod was long enough to lower the line.

"Fortunately, the bridge is not very high from the river surface, only about five or six meters. Our fishing line is long enough, so we have no problem fishing on the bridge.

But we have to speak quietly, the vehicles next to us are all quiet, and the people in them must be sleeping.

If we wake them up, we'll get a good scolding."

Tian Yuanliang took another look at the cars behind him and saw that the windows of the cars were coated with solar film. Although he couldn't see clearly inside the cars, there was no light inside and it was pitch black. He could guess without thinking that the people in the cars must be asleep.

Tao You nodded, and he carefully tore open the grains used in the nest, then slowly grabbed a handful with each hand and scattered the grains into the surface of the stream.

After fishing for a while, they quickly put bait on the hook.

As visibility was poor at night, they did not dare to cast the hook with force and could only slowly let the hook drop vertically naturally.

Although you can't catch fish from far away this way, there's nothing you can do about it.

"Oh, it's a pity I didn't bring a miner's lamp. I don't know where the water in the distance is. I don't dare to cast my hook randomly, otherwise I might hook the weeds."

Tian Yuanliang sighed and felt very sorry.

They went out for a trip under the pretext of traveling, but in fact they went to a popular fishing spot to fish.

Both the father-in-law and the son-in-law promised their wives at home that they would return home within a week.

But according to the current situation, we have been on the highway for almost two days. If we want to come back within 7 days, we will have to reduce the time we spend fishing at the popular fishing spot by one day.

I had originally planned to fish for three days at a popular fishing spot, but now I can only fish for two days.

This made them feel a little depressed, but fortunately there was a small river nearby, which made up for the regret of missing a day of fishing at the popular fishing spot.

For others, fishing is a boring and long process.

But they both enjoyed the process very much.

The surroundings were very quiet, with only the breathing sounds of the two people.

Suddenly, Tian Yuanliang felt his fishing rod move, and in the next second, the fishing rod sank suddenly.

Suddenly, a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

All I heard was his deep, loud roar: "Here it comes, I've taken the bait!"

"Good boy, a big shipment has arrived."

Due to the effect of torque, he only felt the huge pulling force on the fishing rod.

Fortunately, the quality of my fishing rod is very good. If it was a little worse, the rod would definitely break with just this one pull.

Tao You on the side also became excited. He lay on the bridge railing, not afraid of the cold iron railing at all.

"Can you pull it up? The bridge deck is at least five or six meters above the water. I can't use a fish basket to help you."

Tian Yuanliang did not respond, but held his breath and used all his strength.

Like a tug-of-war, he lowered his body and leaned back.

It was like practicing Tai Chi. He pulled the fishing line hard, then let it go. When the tension at the other end of the line decreased slightly, he pulled the line back again.

Tian Yuanliang was not in a hurry at all. He knew that for such a big fish, he had to use up all the fish's energy, otherwise the line would easily break.

The man and the fish struggled for almost 12 minutes, and he felt the tension on the other end of the line getting weaker and weaker.

"It's time!"

Tian Yuanliang growled.

I saw him lift the fishing rod high, turn his right hand quickly, and reel in the fishing line quickly.

A fish nearly 1 meter in size broke through the water and was then rhythmically pulled up onto the bridge.

"Good guy, come on up, come on."

Tao You clenched his fists excitedly. He was even happier that his son-in-law could catch such a big fish than if he himself had caught the fish.

Despite wearing fur gloves, Yuanliang Tiantian still felt the pain in his palms.

It was the first time he caught such a big fish. The weight in his hand seemed to be no less than 30 kilograms.

The joy of harvest filled his heart. He knew that no matter how hard the big fish struggled, it would be useless if it was out of water.

Just when the big fish was very close to the railing of the bridge, Tao You quickly used a fish basket to catch the fish in the net.

Only then did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. Now that the fish were in the basket, they were no longer afraid that the fish would escape.

Tao You exerted some strength, lifted the fish basket over the railing, and then placed it on the ground of the bridge.

They looked at each other and could see joy in each other's eyes.

"It's not a loss at all. Even if we're stuck in traffic on the highway for a day and miss a day of fishing at that popular fishing spot, we haven't lost anything!"

They knew that even at a popular fishing spot, they couldn't catch such a big fish.

Tian Yuanliang quickly ran to the car and took out an empty bucket.

"Hurry, hurry, open the fish basket, let's put the fish in the bucket and see what kind of fish it is."

The net of the fish basket blocked the view, so I could only see the tail and body of the fish, and I couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.

When they put the fish into the empty bucket, Tian Yuanliang took a breath.

"Holy crap! We're making a killing! No doubt about it, this is a sea bass."
