Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 476 Sealing the Hook
"Impossible, I feel like a big fish is eating the hook," Lao Chang replied with certainty.

Liu Junqi looked up and saw Liu Junhao in the crowd, so he said, "Xiaohao, come and try."

Liu Junhao heard the words and took the fishing rod, but after shaking it for a few minutes, he didn't see the fire hit the hook.

"It's not the fire head." Liu Junhao withdrew his fishing rod in disappointment. Just when he was about to get up, his feet slipped and he fell into the water.

"Damn," he exclaimed, and quickly stood up, but most of his trousers were wet.He hastily took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, luckily it wasn't wet.

"Be careful, don't get stuck on your feet." The person on the bank hurriedly handed over the bamboo pole and let him grab it ashore.

"Wait a minute..." Liu Junhao turned his head inadvertently, and was stunned there.He couldn't believe his eyes, there were several muddy ditches under the old thorn root, and there was a big hole in the depth.The entrance of the cave is trumpet-shaped, and a large clump of thorns on it covers the entrance of the cave. No wonder no one has discovered it before.

The dragging mud ditch is a typical feature of the eel cave, which is mainly caused by the long-term friction of the eel in and out of the cave.

He wouldn't be surprised if he simply saw the mud ditch, but the size of the mud ditch in front of him was something Liu Junhao had never seen before.According to Lao Chang's previous description, he knew that today he might encounter a huge eel.

"What is it?" Seeing the happy expression on Liu Junhao's face, the people on the shore hurriedly asked.

"There is a big rice field eel, I guess it weighs at least five catties... When I go up and get ready, I will definitely catch it." Liu Junhao was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

He has never caught such a big eel before, which is very challenging.

But after the excitement passed, I felt that it was very difficult to catch the big rice field eel.

The location of the hole chosen by this thing is very ingenious. It happened to be under the thorn tree, so he couldn't stand on the bank to catch eels.If you want to stand on the shore and fish, unless you cut off all the old thorns, if there is such a big noise, it is estimated that the eels will be scared away.

In addition, what kind of hook to use is still a problem. The ordinary eel hook is not good at all. Even if it is swallowed by the eel, it will be straightened if it is not bitten off.

I heard that there was a large eel under Chen's thorn, and those tourists were very excited.In less than 10 minutes, hundreds of people surrounded Chen Ci on both sides of the bank.The scene was very lively, like a conference.

Liu Junhao was worrying about how to fish, when Liu Guangju heard the news, he came over and said, "Let me make you a sealing hook with umbrella ribs, this thing is very good for catching large rice field eels."

In recent years, there have been fewer large eels in Liujiagou, and there were still many 30 or [-] years ago.

General eel hooks do not work on large eels, so people have figured out a kind of sealing hook.The bottom of this kind of hook is much more upturned than ordinary eel hooks, and the angle of the hook tip is also very unique.When the eel is caught and pulled, the upturned ditch bottom bar can move the stress point of the eel to the hook bar, so that it is not easy to straighten the sealing hook.

Hearing that it was going to be a sealing hook, Maozi immediately presented his eel hook.Liu Guangju looked at the umbrella ribs and shook his head. Today's umbrellas are very delicate and thin, and the ribs are not much thicker than a hair. This thing is not pulled at all, and there is no way to make a hook.

Finally, he went home and found a thick spring, which was straightened with pliers, sharpened on a grinding wheel, and then began to be modified.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Junhao and others carried two bamboo fences for building houses across the puddle, planning to squat on them when they were fishing for eels.

This delay, half an hour passed.However, people's interest has not diminished, on the contrary, the number of onlookers continues to increase.

The sealing hook was finally sharpened, and Liu Junhao was about to unhook the eel after stringing it up, but was stopped by Liu Guangju again: "You brat, just go down like this and try to catch the eel, there is no door, you need to wear gloves, otherwise you will not be able to pull the eel with strength Son."

Hearing what others said, Liu Junhao had no choice but to let Liu Qiyong go home and get a pair of gloves. In order to prevent the eels from dragging him into the water, he also put on a pair of rubber shoes on his feet.

I thought the eel was hooked, but the thing immediately stretched out its head and bit the hook.Unexpectedly, after waiting for five or six minutes, there was no movement at the entrance of the cave. No matter how Liu Junhao shook the eel hook, the eel had no intention of eating the hook.

Reluctantly, he had to collapse the water with his hands, making a thumping sound, but unfortunately there was still no response.

"Wouldn't it be alarming when the fishing net was released just now, and the eel escaped?" A tourist who couldn't wait speculated.

"Impossible, you must be patient when fishing this kind of eel, and it's normal to wait for half an hour." Liu Guangju explained on the shore.Generally, things with an upper limit of age have become refined, especially vigilant.

More than ten minutes passed, but the bait on the eel hook was still not eaten. Liu Junhao squatted for such a long time, his legs felt a little numb. He was just about to move his body when he suddenly found water flowing out of the hole, so he did it immediately. a stop gesture.

"Don't make a sound, the eel is out!!" Seeing this movement, Liu Junqi hastily ordered in a low voice.

There was a sudden silence on the shore, and many people suppressed their throats and stared at the hollow.

The water was rushing faster and faster, and Liu Junhao could already feel that the eel was absolutely beyond imagination from the water flow alone.He subconsciously shook the hook a few times, then swung it lightly, and passed the hook into the hole.Unexpectedly, I only felt a weight on the hook, and before I had time to pull the hook, there was no movement again.

"How..." Liu Guangju whispered on the shore.

"I checked the hook, but I haven't eaten yet." Liu Junhao responded in a low voice.I have caught rice field eels many times before, and I have caught one or two catties a few times, but this is the first time for this kind of large rice field eel, and I feel a little nervous.

I only tried it for a while, but there was no movement in the cave.

The people on the shore became impatient again, and Liu Qiyong also urged to lift the hook.

When the eel hook came out of the water, the onlookers were dumbfounded: the hook was empty, and there was no trace of the bait.

Good guy, I didn't feel the movement of the eel eating the hook at all just now, I thought it was just a test, but I didn't expect it to be eating the hook.

As long as this thing eats the hook, it will be easy to handle. Liu Junhao got two more earthworms from the bottle, crossed them, put them on the side of the hole.

This time, as soon as the eel teeth touched the hook, he quickly lifted the hook, and most of the bait was pulled away again.

"You brat, I told you just now that you can't pull it, you can't pull it, you have to stick it in the stomach of the eel, why did you forget?" Seeing that he failed to catch the eel several times in a row, Liu Guangju became anxious and kept yelling at him on the shore , "If you look like this, you will feed the eels in a while."

At the beginning, Liu Junhao planned to catch the big rice field eel to the shore without any harm, but now it seems impossible, so he can only do it according to the method Liu Guangju said.

He took an earthworm more than ten centimeters long, put it on the umbrella bone, and lowered it into the water again.

Probably the previous few times there was no danger, the eel became bolder, just as the hook entered the hole, a strong force came immediately, obviously the eel hook was swallowed into the belly.

According to Liu Junhao's intuition, the hook went in at least five or six centimeters this time.His heart suddenly started to pound, and he clenched the eel hook tightly with his hands.Wearing gloves, I also feel the sweat on my palms.
