Once on the boat, they didn't stay idle and went right back to fishing. The night air was stifling, and the sounds of insects and birds all around seemed off; it looked like the weather was about to turn.
As Lin Qin was grumbling, she cast her line, and a black carp weighing over two pounds took the bait. Once she saw it clearly by the light of the kerosene lamp, she was stunned. "It's huge!"
It wasn't that she hadn't caught black carp before, but the biggest ones were usually just over a pound; they were notoriously difficult to catch. Chen Wenjun was also surprised. He put the fish in the bucket and cast his own line. Another one came up—another black carp, over a pound. For two hours, they fished, and almost everything they pulled in was a black carp, large and small. It was truly strange.
