Soon, the five people had each chosen their own fishing spots and started fishing.
At the beginning, everyone was full of confidence, especially Zhang Xiaotong and Zhao Xiaodao, who clearly had the attitude of "I am the champion".
Liu Feifei and Guo Yan seemed a bit low-key, after all, they didn't fish much usually and were indeed a bit unfamiliar with this skill.
Therefore, there's no guarantee that you'll catch any fish.
Although Chen Fan had never fished before, he was good at all kinds of skills and had a lot of luck, so fishing should not be a problem for him.
Even if you fish with a straight hook like Jiang Ziya, you might still have a good catch.
After all, when luck comes, there's no stopping it—
Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
To their dismay, after half an hour, the five of them hadn't managed to catch a single fish hair.
"Chen Fan, are you sure there are really fish in this lake? We've been fishing for so long and haven't caught a single fish. I even feel like there aren't any fish in this lake at all."
After half an hour without catching a single fish, not even a hair, Zhang Xiaotong began to complain anxiously.
She had fished before, and she was quite lucky.
Every time, I can catch fish with ease.
But they haven't caught anything after so long, and more importantly, there are five of them in total, and none of them have caught a fish. This isn't just because they're unlucky; maybe there aren't any fish in this lake at all!
Otherwise, everyone's luck couldn't be this bad.
“There are fish! Before you came, we often fished in this lake, and Chen Fan was very fast at fishing; he could catch a big fish in just a few minutes.”
"Looks like our luck isn't so good today—"
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaotong's words, Liu Feifei immediately spoke up as well.
If she hadn't seen the fish in this lake before, she might have had the same thought as Zhang Xiaotong.
The problem is that when they first found this campsite, Chen Fan had fished here, and not long after, he caught several large catfish weighing two or three pounds each.
This means that there are definitely fish in this lake, and the fact that no one caught any fish today just means that everyone was unlucky.
“Since Feifei says so, there must be fish in the lake. I think the reason we haven’t been able to catch any fish yet is probably not just bad luck, but more importantly, our equipment is not good enough. If we had professional fishing hooks or rods, fishing here would be a piece of cake.”
At this moment, Zhao Xiaodao hurriedly spoke up, making excuses for not being able to catch any fish.
After all, the more confident they were just talking, the more painful it is to be proven wrong now.
We need to come up with a good excuse, otherwise it will be too embarrassing...
"You two should start fishing properly. As the saying goes, if you can't do it yourself, you can't blame the road. If you can't catch any fish, you should reflect on whether your fishing skills are not good enough. Have you been fishing seriously? Have you checked your hooks and bait carefully?"
Chen Fan made a joking remark, and the moment his voice fell, the fishing rod on his arm suddenly sank, and the fishing line was instantly pulled straight.
"Look! I just finished talking and a fish took the bait right now!"
A smug look appeared on Chen Fan's lips, and then he slowly began to reel in the line.
There was a lot of commotion in the water, with ripples spreading rapidly in all directions. Chen Fan could also feel a strong pulling sensation, indicating that it was a fairly large fish.
"Holy crap!! Did Chen Fan really catch a fish? We just finished making excuses, and he caught one so quickly. Isn't this a slap in the face to us?"
Zhang Xiaotong and Zhao Xiaodao immediately looked over, and instantly felt their faces burning.
They had just made up a couple of excuses for not being able to catch any fish, but Chen Fan had already caught one.
And judging from the commotion, it must be a fairly large fish...
"See, see, I told you there were definitely fish in here, and I also told you Chen Fan was definitely the best at fishing. He caught the first fish, which is a great start."
Upon seeing this, Liu Feifei's face instantly lit up with a smile.
After all, she never claimed to be a skilled fisherman; instead, she always praised Chen Fan's fishing skills.
Now that Chen Fan has caught the first fish, it proves that his vision is extremely unique.
"Chen Fan, you're amazing!! You caught a fish so quickly."
Guo Yan also quickly praised Chen Fan from the side.
Although she didn't fish much in her daily life, she had heard stories about anglers who loved fishing...
Some people may go out fishing in the morning and return home late at night without catching a single fish, so it's clear that fishing is not an easy thing.
If you're unlucky or your skills aren't up to par, you might not catch a single fish all day...
Chen Fan caught a fish in just half an hour, which is enough to demonstrate his skill.
"Alright, alright, now I've proven that there are fish in this lake, and they're quite big too, so you'd better hurry up..."
"If I surpass them by too much, they will lose face."
After Chen Fan finished speaking, he quickly pulled the fish out of the water. It was a large catfish, and it looked to weigh about three or four pounds.
Fortunately, the rope woven from banana fiber is strong enough to withstand the weight of three or four pounds!
"My goodness! What a big and fat fish! This fish is probably enough for us to have a meal."
"Xiao Dao, it looks like we need to hurry up. It would be too embarrassing if we lost to Chen Fan by too much."
Seeing that Chen Fan had caught such a big fish, Zhang Xiaotong said to Zhao Xiaodao with a determined look.
After all, they were the two most confident people before, and it would be too embarrassing if they couldn't even catch a single fish in the end.
"Fine! I'm going to catch a fish today no matter what. Otherwise, I won't go back to the shelter tonight. I'll stay here until I catch one."
Zhao Xiaodao nodded firmly, then looked intently at the lake.
After dragging the catfish out of the lake, Chen Fan took a stick and hit it five or six times, stunning the fish.
