The brim of his hat was pulled down to cover his face, and the man was holding a fishing rod, his tone somewhat excited.

When Chen Ge approached, the fisherman suddenly said this, which aroused Chen Ge's vigilance.

He stopped and scanned the other person with his pupils. After confirming that the other person was just an ordinary person, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had overthought.

Silently watching the man fishing, Chen Ge did not disturb him at the critical moment when the fish was hooked.

"What a big fish!"

The man dragged the fishing rod backwards with both hands, the fishing line became straight, and he found that he couldn't even reel the fishing line in.

He stood up from his sitting position on a stool and leaned back so that he could reel in the fishing line bit by bit.

"What did you catch?"

Chen Ge was also very curious. The storage capacity of Donggang Reservoir was not very large, so there should not be any big fish in this place. However, special circumstances could not be ruled out. Jiujiang had a dense river network connecting several large rivers, so it was possible that big fish from other places were trapped in the reservoir.

"Do you need help?" Chen Ge walked up to the man and asked in a low voice.

The man focused all his attention on the water. He did not respond to Chen Ge's words. He was using all his strength to drag himself back little by little.

Chen Ge did not force it. He knew nothing about fishing and did not dare to interfere, for fear of doing something bad with good intentions.

"Are there such big fish in Donggang Reservoir?" Chen Ge raised his mobile phone and shone it towards the water. Where the luminous float sank, he saw a shadow slowly emerging from under the water.

"What is that?!"

The shadow was about 1.5 meters long, slender, and seemed to be moving up and down.

It was pitch dark, and it was hidden underwater. If Chen Ge didn't have Yin pupils, it would be difficult for him to see the thing clearly.

The man used all his strength to pull the fishing line straight. Chen Ge dodged to the side as he was worried that the fishing line would suddenly break.

One man and one "fish" were wrestling with each other. It was the first time that Chen Ge had seen such exciting fishing.

After the two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds, the man's strength began to weaken. He looked strong, but he did not seem to be able to hold on for long and his endurance was very poor.

The man finally caught such a big fish and was unwilling to let go. He couldn't drag the fishing line to the shore, so he could only stand there and fight with the other party.

After a while, with a soft bang, the fishing line seemed to be broken by something, and the man fell to the ground with a thump.

"Fuck!"

The big fish he had caught was gone, the man cursed angrily and threw the fishing rod to the ground.

He was really hurt by the fall just now, and he couldn't get up for a long time. In the end, Chen Ge ran over and helped him up.

"Brother, are you okay?" Chen Ge was more curious about the "big fish" in the water than the fisherman: "What were you fishing for? Are there any fish that big in our reservoir?"

After being helped up by Chen Ge, the fisherman's expression eased a little: "That's a king fish. I've been following it for three months."

"Fish King?"

This seemed to be the fisherman's own secret. He reluctantly told Chen Ge, "Reservoirs that have been built for a long time, as well as some large inland lakes, may have king fish. They live for a long time, are much larger than their peers, and are very intelligent."

"There are king fish in our reservoir too?" Chen Ge felt very curious. The Donggang Reservoir did take a long time to build, but the reservoir capacity was not too large. It could only be considered a relatively large one among the small reservoirs.

"You just saw it, too." The fisherman straightened his clothes and took off his hat.

This man has very thin lips and a pair of dead fish eyes. At first glance, he looks mean and difficult to get along with.

"Then how do you know there is a king fish in our reservoir? Have you seen it before?" Chen Ge was becoming more and more curious.

"I'm from the Jiujiang Fishing Association. For fishing enthusiasts like us, catching a king fish is something we can brag about for the rest of our lives, so I'm always keeping an eye out for relevant information." The fisherman talked about his experience of finding a king fish, with a hint of complacency in his words: "Later, I kept seeing news reports about accidents at Jiujiang Donggang Reservoir. From a certain period of time, the number of people drowning in the reservoir began to increase exponentially, which I thought was very abnormal. There was no change in the reservoir itself, so it's very likely that something got into the reservoir. I guess it was a king fish that accidentally got into the reservoir from the river."

"According to what you said, those who drowned should have signs of being attacked. The police are not stupid. Drowning and being attacked by fish are two completely different ways of death, and their natures are completely different."

"You have all been fooled by the fish king. The fish king is different from other fish. It is very smart. Besides, it does not necessarily kill for food. It may just be for fun, or for revenge." The fisherman seemed to know a lot about fish: "Let me give you another example. You should have seen something bite the hook just now. That is to say, there is indeed a fish king in this reservoir, but the police have salvaged the body so many times and did not find it. Do you know what this shows?"

"Is there a blind spot in the reservoir where it can hide?"

"Not only that, the big fish is so smart that it knows where to hide as long as there is a boat sailing on the reservoir." The fisherman looked at Chen Ge's face of disbelief. He seemed to be very happy. He coughed, rubbed his waist and continued: "If you want to catch the king fish, you can't treat it as an ordinary fish. You have to put its intelligence on the same level as your own and treat it as a cunning person."

Chen Ge looked at the reservoir and nodded subconsciously: "It will detect any boats sailing on the water. That means there are only two ways to catch it. Either fish it on the shore, or drain the entire reservoir."

"It's impossible for the authorities to drain the entire reservoir for a single fish. Although the Donggang Reservoir has a small storage capacity, its location is critical, right in the middle of the upstream and downstream." The man reeled in the fishing line and checked the broken end: "How can such a thick line break? I have tested its tensile strength and wear resistance before... Huh?"

He touched the thread and said, "Why does it feel like something bit me?"

"Could it be that there are two big fish in this reservoir?" Chen Ge came over and said something casually, but the fisherman was stunned: "One was caught, and the other tried to rescue it and bit the fishing line? I'm just speaking my mind casually, it's better for you to judge based on your own experience."

"That's really possible!" The man looked at Chen Ge. "Including this time, I have caught it three times in the past few months, and each time I failed because the fishing line broke."
