Speaking of Qiandao Lake, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is likely to be the Xin'anjiang Reservoir in Zhejiang Province.

Coincidentally, the Nan'an Lake that Yang Zi and the others arrived at today is also nicknamed Qiandao Lake.

Before the construction of this man-made lake, the vicinity was relatively low hills.

When the barrage dam was completed, the water level began to rise dramatically, and the small peaks were submerged and only a spike remained, turning them into islands of various sizes.

As decades passed, when the vegetation here gradually recovered, this water area has become one of the more famous attractions in Southeast Asia, attracting many tourists to visit.

This is also a surprise for the government, which was originally only built to generate electricity.

After a night's rest in Luang Prabang, Yang Zi and his family set off early the next morning, except for going to the fish market there when they were in Vang Vieng, buying some bait and then rushing directly to the shore of Nan Oh Lake.

In this shooting mission, the lack of a guide is their biggest shortcoming.

Everyone can only rely on their previous fishing experience to slowly explore here, as for whether they can successfully catch the giant in the water they want, Yang Zi and the others have no confidence in their hearts.

However, this was only the first fishing spot they had chosen, so there was not much pressure on them.

They drove around the lake for a while, and Yang Zi finally parked in the small town of Zela, not far from the lakeshore.

The living facilities here are complete, and the distance is also very convenient.

Everyone found a hotel to put their luggage, and Qiaoqiao and Zhang Jiao went to a nearby boat rental point to inquire about the situation.

Yang Zi, Qian Gang, and Deng Gang took the big bags of fishing tackle off the car, and then each began to sort out the fishing tackle to be used in the meeting.

Opening the rod bag, Yang Zi distributed the new heavy trolling rods to everyone one by one, and studied the use of this rod with them.

As heavy-duty trolling rods used to troll large fish in the sea, the durability of these rods is not in doubt.

The one-piece carbon fiber shaft, the stubby size, and the metallic over-wire wheel make people feel the sturdiness and solidity in their hands.

The only drawback of this rod is that it is too bulky, so in order to be light, the three of them also chose a more ordinary throwing rod, which they planned to use to test the fish when searching on the water.

A few people laughed and cleaned up here, and Qiaoqiao and Zhang Jiao also rushed back from the boat rental.

The news they brought back was a bit of a headache, because the boats that could be rented here were relatively small, only suitable for about three or four people, and everyone had to divide the boats.

After learning about the situation, everyone discussed it together, and finally decided to divide into three teams and set off.

There are just nine of them, except for the three who hold the fishing rod for fishing, which must be separated, and the other few people can perfectly form a relatively independent and matching combination after matching each other.

With the corresponding preparations ready, everyone brought their luggage and equipment, and then headed for the rental boat on the shore.

The boats here are slender wooden boats, and most of them are human-driven.

Qiaoqiao and Zhang Jiao chose one of the few diesel-powered boats in it.

Because they've only been planning here for two days, it's a little faster if they can.

Maybe I learned from Qiaoqiao that Yang Zi and the others were from foreign film crews, and the owner of the charter boat entertained them very warmly.

He even said that he could personally set up a boat and take Yang Zi and a few people to search in the lake, just hoping that when the show was broadcast, he could introduce his small shop a little.

This is a surprise, everyone just lacks a guide to introduce them, and suddenly God arranged for them to send one, for the other party's small requests, of course, everyone agreed to it.

Although the communication between them is a bit difficult, there is a coincidence, and with a gesture of hands and feet, the general meaning of the two sides is still relatively easy to understand.

So before he set off, Yang Zi began to pester the boat boss named Pota and asked him about the local gossip.

For people like Pota who live by the lake all year round, the questions they are eager to know can only be regarded as common sense, and Yang Zi certainly can't waste such a good opportunity.

He called Qiaoqiao to be a translator on the side, and then the three of you asked me to answer the exchange of the situation here.

Yang Zi's question is very simple, one is the place where the Mekong giant catfish used to appear in this lake, and the other is the water level and fish distribution of Nan'e Lake.

After Pota answered for him one by one, Yang Zi finally had a clearer arrangement for the next fishing trip.

He discussed it with Deng Gang and Qian Gang on the side, and after finalizing the route they searched, he began to beckon everyone to prepare to go.

The group sat in three wooden boats, then left the shore with the sound of noisy motors and headed quickly towards the wide lake.

For large fish such as the Mekong catfish, their favorite living environment is to stay in dark deep water.

And because of the apathy of light, giant catfish rarely go out to hunt during the day.

They tend to be close to the well-fed shallows at night.

Based on this information, Yang Zi and the others directly asked Pota to command the boatmen and took them to the south of Nan'an Lake, where the water level was deeper.

It is close to a small town called Zela, and there is a river connected to the lake, which is a great place for giant catfish to live.

The most important thing is that the giant catfish that was caught a few years ago was found at the entrance and exit of this small river. This also adds a little more chance to the judgment that there is a giant catfish here.

After nearly twenty minutes of travel, the group arrived at their chosen fishing area in a small boat.

To the left of the lake is a cluster of small islands, and on the right, you can see the entrance and exit of the river and the shadow of the town.

Seeing that he had reached the place, the captain beckoned the other two to turn off the power.

In order to prevent the fish from going around in the meeting, he also specially asked a few people to widen the distance between the boats to about ten meters, and then said a few words of very non-standard English in his mouth.

"Brother Yang Zi, Pota said that he has arrived at the place, this is the deep water area of Nan'an Lake.

He also said that this place used to be a mountain col, so there are still a lot of trees underneath, so you should be careful not to hang on the bottom. ”

It was difficult to understand the meaning of the boss who got off the boat, and Qiaoqiao hurriedly conveyed it to Yang Zi, who was sitting on the bow of the boat.

As soon as the other party heard that he had arrived at the ground, he greeted Qian Gang and Deng Gang, and then picked up the fishing tackle beside him and began to prepare for the rod.

In order to deal with the rumored hundreds of kilograms of huge objects, Yang Zi used a fishing rig this time that was stronger than the one in the last Qiqi River.

The thumb-thick, palm-wide fishing hook, the fishing line with a tensile value of more than 30 kilograms, and the oversized drum reel all show the strength of this equipment.

As for the nest material and bait, Yang Zi and the others chose chopped chicken offal and whole slaughtered chicks.

The chicken offal is packed in a woven bag, and a few stones are put in it to sink underwater to attract fish.

The young chickens are directly hung on the fishing rig, and the size of this chicken is just enough to cover the entire hook, which is also the favorite food of catfish.

He hung up the rig and threw it directly into the water, then turned on the switch of the reel and began to keep the line out.

The water level in Nan'e Lake is not very deep, and Yang Zi's fishing rig fell to the bottom of the lake when the fishing line was about seventy or eighty meters out.

As soon as he saw that the rig was in place, he closed the pay-off switch, tightened the line, and then set up the rod and began to wait before the fish.

The sun overhead was scorching, and several people who had laid down the poles one after another waited for more than half an hour on the boat, and the excitement at the beginning quickly decreased.

Yang Zi looked at the fishing rod that had no reaction, lifted the fishing line slightly to make sure that it was not hung to the bottom, and then put it down.

He would have regretted a little why he hadn't brought an extra hand rod in front of him, because this kind of oversized fishing rig could not bite other small fish except for those huge objects.

When the excited Yang Zi and the others were preparing to fish the rod, they patronized and wanted to catch a big fish, but they completely forgot the difficulty of it.

The kind of fishing rig they use, it's normal to throw it down and have no reaction all day, how can you spend this time?

Seeing that waiting was not a solution, Yang Zi thought about it and took out the throwing rod.

He replaced the top rig with a small and medium-sized hook, chopped up a piece of chicken entrail and hung it up, then extended the rod to the other side and began to catch small fish.

Not to mention, his unintentional way of inserting willows into the fishing method soon paid off.

The lead sinker sank with a string hook for only four or five meters, and Yang Zi rushed to the tip of the rod with a trace of strength.

Surprised, he quickly felt it, and after finding that the fish was not very big, he directly reeled in the line and pulled up the fishing rod.

I saw a black figure of more than 20 centimeters, scurrying in the water, and after struggling, he was directly pushed out of the water by Yang Zi.

He looked at it and saw that it was actually a rich fish.

This is fun, I didn't expect there to be this kind of fishing in Nan'an Lake.

This thing must have been attracted by the thick smell of blood from the internal organs they threw in front of them, and then they were caught by mistake.

Looking at the lively fish Yang Zi, he was happy, and hurriedly found a live fish mouth to lock it, and then continued to lower the rod.

Now that there is a beginning, Yang Zi believes that there should be a lot of wealth fish under the water at this time, and a few more can be added to today's dinner.

Qian Gang on the side was chatting idly, when they suddenly saw a fish on Yang Zi's side, so they hurriedly inquired about the situation.

Yang Zi told them what he had found, so the two of them picked up the throwing rod and cleaned it up, and threw it into the water to fish for today's dinner.
