Examining the fish closely, it's plump, with thin lips and a slightly round head, indicating there isn't much of a food shortage in the reservoir. It's much fatter than the large carp often caught in wild rivers.
By rough estimation, the first carp weighs around seven to eight ounces.
"Xiao Yi, come over! The rod's out! Bring the small bucket over!" Zhang Yang took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Yi, who was still on the North Bank.
Xiao Yi had been monitoring Zhang Yang from afar with his camera. Upon receiving the message, he sprang up from his chair, grabbed the small bucket, and headed toward the East Bank.
Holding the fish in his left hand, Zhang Yang couldn't let go. After checking the bait on the double hooks, he swung the rod forward with his right hand and then cast the fishing line precisely into the fishing spot with a large sweep of his arm.
