The flashlight shines on the water, and the refraction of shadows and shadows is dazzling.

With the flickering light, a round "cauldron" suddenly appeared on the surface of the water in an upside-down posture under the pull of Yang Zi's fishing rod.

Seventy or eighty centimeters in diameter, the whole body is brown, and its thick limbs and head and tail are faintly visible on the edges.

"Hey, what a big king, Brother Yang, is this a big turtle you caught in Thailand?"

"No, this seems to be an ordinary soft-shelled turtle, which can be seen from the shell and head, but it is really rare for a soft-shelled turtle to grow so big. Yang Zi was also a little surprised.

The size of this soft-shelled turtle is definitely the only big one he has ever seen in his life, and a rough estimate shows that at least forty or fifty catties can't run, and it's really only a thousand-year-old king.

Finding that it was not a crocodile, Tan Ziqing lost the caution just now, he bit the flashlight with his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and planned to lift the soft-shelled turtle up the shallows.

What is surprising is that the soft-shelled turtle has not been hooked, it just bites the catfish and refuses to let go, at this time, seeing that his safety is threatened, he quickly gave up the food in his mouth, and disappeared under the water after a swing of his limbs.

"Ah, Brother Yang, how did this soft-shelled turtle get off the hook?" Looking at the empty bottom of the water, Tan Ziqing looked confused.

"Haha! That's because it didn't bite the hook at all, okay! I didn't let go just now, but I just didn't want to give up this catfish. Pulling back the fishing line, Yang Zi glanced at the fishing group.

"Alas, it's a pity, what a big bastard! I didn't even have time to take a picture and ran away. Tan Ziqing looked regretful.

"What's the regret of a soft-shelled turtle, help me catch a tiger fish, you take a photo and release it The effect is definitely much more shocking, let's go, let's continue to work." Shaking his head, Yang Zi took the lead towards the boat with a fishing rod.

"Hmm! That's right, then Brother Yang, do you think we'll have a harvest tonight?"

"I don't guarantee that, why don't you swim into the water and find out where they are?" ”

"Ugh...... The moon is so round tonight......

………………

The sky is gradually clearing, and the dawn of dawn pierces through the canopy, indicating that the night is about to dissipate, and a new day is about to begin.

Scooping the river water to clean his face, Yang Zi, who had recovered a trace of energy, looked at the newborn sun, and his expression on his face seemed to improve a lot.

"Morning, Brother Yang, why didn't you wake me up last night? Sleepy-eyed said hello, Tan Ziqing looked a little embarrassed.

He nominally came along to shoot, but ended up sleeping on a wooden frame for three nights.

"Haha! There are no big fish biting the hook, so it's useless for me to wake you up? By the way, I caught a few perch last night and tied them to the stake on the left, and when Brother De and they come over, you can make him breakfast, and I'll check the situation of the fishing rod. With a wave of his hand, Yang Zi smiled and said hello and began to walk towards the fishing rod.

This is the fourth day they have come to the waterfall to fish, and there has been no harvest for several days, and the excitement and novelty at the beginning slowly faded, and everyone's mood did not seem very high.

Even Sima was a little embarrassed, after all, she brought this place here, but the expected tiger fish had never been able to see it, which made him feel a little remorseful

However, Yang Zi didn't seem to be in a hurry, because although the tiger fish was a fierce creature, it was extremely alert.

Especially when it comes to foraging, unless they are really hungry, or the bait is slightly wrong, they will not take the bait, and he has always insisted on using live fish as bait, mainly because of this.

But considering that there was no movement for several days, Yang Zi still carefully pondered the reason.

When it comes to the status of the African tiger fish in the river, there is no doubt about the hegemony level, except for humans, they are almost fearless, and there have even been incidents of tiger fish attacking crocodiles.

So when it comes to using bait, catfish is definitely within its recipe.

In terms of location and fishing location, Yang Zi is also quite confident that this place fully meets all the conditions for the survival of tiger fish, far away from the civilized rainforest environment, rich food sources, and the activity records he has had, it is completely the best fishing place he can find.

Is there anything else you haven't noticed?

While thinking, Yang Zi came to a casting rod, picked up the rod and slowly put away the fishing line.

The tension from the tip of the rod is very normal, the only thing that is wrong is that he didn't feel the struggle of the catfish, but Yang Zi didn't take it to heart, because every time the rod is closed in the past few days, there are often catfish dying at the bottom of the water.

The reason for this, in addition to being restricted from moving, is that the water pressure and wound problems at the bottom will occupy the majority, so he is no wonder now.

Slowly, as the fishing line was gradually retracted, the fishing rig with the catfish was quickly pulled closer to the shore, and Yang Zi took off the hook, intending to replace it with a new bait fish and lower the rod again.

Soon, however, his change of bait was halted by an accidental discovery.

On the dead catfish, there are several very obvious scars near the tail, which seem to be familiar, Yang Zi has also seen them in Lake Victoria.

The traces of the sharp teeth hanging out of the hook left a very deep impression on him because they were too hideous, and seeing them here at this time couldn't help but arouse his suspicions.

"Could it be that this is a tiger fish's bite mark?" muttered to himself, and Yang Zi was not sure.

However, it was rare to find a clue, and he didn't want to let it go, so he put the dead fish in the basket he carried with him and began to continue his inspection work.

…………

"Brother Yang, is this fish the fish that was thrown into the river last night? The boatman said that this kind of wound is exactly the same as the tiger fish bite, it seems that we are not in the wrong place!" On the small boat, Tan Ziqing asked Yang Zi excitedly.

"Is it really a tiger fish? That's great! By the way, did you ask him why the tiger fish didn't eat it after taking a bite?" Hearing such good news, Yang Zi was also overjoyed.

If this new information can be confirmed, then some of the details he just thought of are likely to become the key points of breakthrough in tiger fishing.

He didn't know about it, because it was rarely caught, and the boatman had only seen it once in most of his life. Tan Ziqing shook her head and replied with some regret.

"That's okay, as long as we're sure that there are African tiger fish here, I'll know where we're going next, and I just need to verify them one by one. It was rare to get good news, Yang Zi was in good spirits, and some of the key points that came to mind before came to mind.

He began to explain to his companions as he began to make practical arrangements step by step.
