Chapter 684: Fish for the New Year

"Is it on the hook?" Snowy shrieked.

"It's on the hook! Boy, it's a big one!" Jin Er stood up from the chair, and stared at the floater.　　

Rookies usually pulled on the rod as soon as there was a bite, but the fish could escape that way. If it was a big fish, it usually fought back. If the rookie didn't have a firm grip on the rod, it could fly out of their hands. 　　

Jin Er wasn't a professional fisherman, but he was very familiar with fishing. As soon as the rod sank, he raised the rod so that the hook could pierce through the fish's mouth. As thin lines and small hooks were used to fish Crucian Carps, if the fish fought back, the line could break. Fighting the fish was necessary to catch it. 　　

He adjusted his grip on the rod and followed the fishing line's movement with his eyes. He tightened or loosened the line to control the fish.
