Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 75: A Frenzied Draw of Small White Bars, and a Big Fish Hits!

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

When they saw Xiao Kai's combo fail, Liu Bo and the others laughed. Their mood, which had been depressed because of Xiao Kai's combo failure that morning, immediately improved.

Compared to the happiness of the others, Xiao Kai felt completely emo at this moment.

"How is that possible? Wasn't I following Brother Bo's instructions?"

He had considered the possibility of the wires exploding, but he didn't expect it to explode on the first try.

But he was very careful. He followed Liu Bo's instructions step by step, so why did the wire still break?

"As the saying goes, masters all start with connecting wires. The probability of a successful throw on the first try is too small. Take your time, don't rush!"

"Yes, and you used too much force just now, be gentler next time!"

"Remember to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold the rod in your right hand, align your left shoulder with the target direction, hook the fishing line with your index finger, press the spool with your thumb, and grip the rod handle naturally. Slightly bend your body to maintain stability, and lean your upper body forward to cast!"

Seeing Xiao Kai's dejection, Liu Bo and the others laughed, but still made sure to comfort him.

"good!"

After feeling down for a while, Xiao Kai took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to untangle the threads.

It must be said that while I can't comment on his casting skills, Xiao Kai is definitely very talented at line breaking.

Sure enough, he untied it in just a few minutes.

Soon, under Liu Bo's guidance, Xiao Kai began throwing again.

Having learned from his previous experience, Xiao Kai didn't use too much force this time, and he actually managed to throw the bait out.

However, because Xiao Kai did not press the spool to stop the line from flowing out in time after the line fell into the water, the line eventually broke.

Fortunately, not many were fried, and the pieces were unpacked in no time.

Undeterred, he reeled in the line and started casting again.

After several failed attempts and corrections involving reeling in the line, casting, getting the line tangled, and untangling it, Xiao Kai finally managed to cast the fishing line to the vicinity of the designated area.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai knew he had succeeded.

He remembered that feeling.

No joke at all. Xiao Kai didn't know why, but he just knew he would succeed again next time.

After reeling in the fishing line, he cast it again.

This time it was a complete success, and even better than the previous throw.

Xiao Kai was finally relieved.

He began to reel in the line at a steady speed, following the method Liu Bo had instructed him to do. During the process, he continuously simulated the slow movement of a small fish by shaking, twitching, or flicking the line.

He kept pulling the fish to the shore, but he never felt the sensation of being bitten by a fish, as Liu Bo had described.

Knowing he couldn't rush things, Xiao Kai threw the ball out again.

And so, Xiao Kai kept throwing and catching.

Gradually, he mastered the smoothness of the throw.

Although I can't do it as easily as Liu Bo demonstrated, at least the wire breakage problem hasn't occurred again.

Finally, after countless casts, during one of his steady retrievals, he suddenly felt a jerking sensation from the tip of the rod, accompanied by a series of slight tugs.

That throbbing seemed to be teasing Xiao Kai's heart, making him involuntarily tense up, and his whole body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted.

Almost instinctively, he suddenly raised his fishing rod and lashed it backward.

huh~

A slight cutting sound came from the waterline, and the next second Xiao Kai felt a tug on his hand.

The pulling sensation is very slight, but it is very noticeable, far more distinct and captivating than the feeling of hooking a fish with a rod.

"Haha, I won! I won! I won!" Xiao Kai couldn't help but shout.

The sound immediately drew the attention of Liu Bo and the others.

After seeing Xiao Kai's slightly bent pole, Liu Bo and the others were stunned.

Is it that easy?

It's been an hour?

Actually, Liu Bo and his friends didn't expect Xiao Kai to catch a fish on his first try of lure fishing.

Because that's the norm for lure fishing.

Even seasoned lure anglers often end up empty-handed.

Compared to Taiwan-style fishing, the Asia-Pacific region relies more on resources.

Although the reservoir has good resources, they believe it is far from being good enough for a novice who can't even reel in a line steadily to catch fish.

But of all people, Xiao Kai was the one who won.

Moreover, it was all down to luck. (No cheating!)

"Brother Bo, Brother Bo, I've caught a fish!"

Xiao Kai's voice came again, immediately waking them up.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, keep up the good work!"

This was the three's last struggle, because they didn't know what to say at this point.

Xiao Kai quickly retrieved the fish.

It is indeed a white stripe, but it is quite large, measuring over 20 centimeters in length, making it one of the larger white stripes.

Xiao Kai happily picked up the white slip of paper, took a picture of it with his phone, and then put it back.

Then he started throwing again.

With each cast, Xiao Kai's line-collecting became more stable, and he hit several white bars in a row.

During one of his reeling operations, he suddenly had an idea and manipulated the aperture to position himself in the path where the lure would be retrieved.

As soon as he did this, Xiao Kai's fishing efficiency indeed improved.

Although it's still just a blank check, it almost always wins.

This left Liu Bo and the other two standing nearby completely stunned.

"It feels so familiar!" Liu Bo murmured.

"Mmm!" The other two nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Kai didn't care about any of that; he was already hooked on fishing.

As Xiao Kai continued to cast and catch fish, he gradually fell in love with this way of fishing.

Finally, just as he was once again maneuvering the lure into the circle of light, a large fish suddenly rushed out from some direction and swallowed the lure whole.

This time, Xiao Kai didn't feel the sudden drop in the white line; instead, he felt a heavy tug.

ding ding ding

The spool was suddenly pulled backward several meters.

"Damn, we've hooked a big fish!"

Xiao Kai had no idea how to deal with this situation, and in his anxiety, he grabbed the line on the spool to try to stop it.

But tragedy struck him soon after.

"Ah~"

With a cry of pain, Xiao Kai quickly withdrew his hand from the fishing line.

The two consecutive sounds startled Liu Bo and the others, who had long been numb. The moment Liu Bo saw that Xiao Kai's hand had been cut by the fishing line, he stood up from his fishing spot and rushed towards him.

Xiao Kai initially thought the man was there to check on his injury, but to his surprise, the man didn't even glance at him, snatching the lure rod from his hand while saying, "You're injured, stand halfway, let me take over!"

"This~"

Xiao Kai was stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that he seemed to have been outmaneuvered!

"Holy crap!"

He could no longer care about his injured left hand and rushed forward to grab it.

"Brother Bo, you have no sportsmanship, you're taking advantage of someone in distress!"

Seeing Xiao Kai try to snatch it, Liu Bo quickly dodged, saying as he did so, "Don't move! I was just helping you because you're injured!"

"I don't need your help, just teach me!" Xiao Kai said, then tried to snatch it again.

He knew his own situation. Although he had just been cut by the fishing line, it wasn't very serious. It was just a small cut that didn't bleed much.
