Chapter 238: Memories of Youth Lake Park
The reason why Hong Tao understands so clearly is because he spent it here during SARS, when his unit was on vacation, and he stayed at home and had nothing to do, so he wanted to go to the park to exercise so that he could better resist infectious diseases.
At that time, he had moved to Dongcheng District to live, which was very close to Ditan Park, so he went to Ditan Park every day to run. One day, he had nothing to do, so he ran out of the west gate of Ditan Park, and then plunged into Qingnian Lake Park, where the west gate and the east gate of the two parks were separated by a street outside Andingmen.
After entering the park, he suddenly found that there were a lot of fishermen sitting on the edge of the lake, some playing with hand rods and some playing with sea rods, which was very lively. For this discovery, Hong Tao is really happy, there is no place to play, I didn't expect to get it without effort, in such a place so close to his home, there is such a place to hide!
So, starting from the next day, Hong Tao would basically get up at 4 o'clock every morning, wash up briefly, and then go straight to Qingnian Lake Park with fishing gear on his back. In this way, it lasted for more than 2 months, until the SARS epidemic subsided and the unit resumed work.
At that time, he not only spent that boring time here, but also caught two rare big carp in this small lake, one male and one female, each weighing 20 pounds, and it was caught on the same day, in the same place, and with two poles at the same time.
At that time, the two fish caught by Hong Tao caused a sensation in the entire Youth Lake Park, and then spread through the fishing friends who fished here, and after that, the number of people fishing in the Youth Lake Park increased significantly, so that Hong Tao sometimes came a little late and could not find a fishing position.
And the fishing spot where the big carp was caught, Hong Tao has not occupied it once since that day, no matter how early you come, there are always anglers who arrive earlier than you to fish.
Through this windfall. Hong Tao was also well-known among the anglers in Youth Lake Park at that time, and his own bait and his fishing methods were also imitated by many people. And one day after that, Hong Tao did another big thing, which made him even more famous.
One day not long after catching the big carp, Hong Tao came to the Youth Lake Park on time to fish, he was not late this day, but all the good fishing positions were already manned, Hong Tao turned around with fishing gear on his back, and did not find a satisfactory fishing position, no rut. In the end, I could only choose a random shore for each person on the north shore of Qingnian Lake and threw my four small sea poles into it.
Fishing until more than 8 o'clock in the morning, Hong Tao is a fish did not catch, then the contractor of the reservoir Guo Zi came, this Guo Zi did not know Hong Tao before, but through that fishing big carp, the result brought a lot of fishing friends here, this Guo boss did not have anything to do with Hong Tao to chat for a while, and slowly became familiar.
Boss Guo is also from Beijing. I lived on Andingmen Inner Street, and I was originally a connoisseur who played pigeons, and later contracted the water surface here through a friend. It is estimated that the price of the contract is internal, and he is not too concerned. He didn't put much fish in it, he loved to catch some people and no one fished, so he hid in a small house by the lake every day to play with pigeons.
With the onset of SARS, his pigeons bore the brunt of the attack. It's all dealt with by the government, and he has nothing to play with. But the sky was gone, and the pigeons were gone. There were more and more people fishing, and he saw that this was also a way to make money, so he also hoped that there would be more fishermen. It just so happened that the appearance of Hong Tao and the emergence of the two big carps finally made his wish come true, and the originally deserted Youth Lake became a big hit, and his income also rose gradually. So, in his heart, he regarded Hong Tao as his beckoning cat, not only exempted Hong Tao from fishing every day, but also often invited Hong Tao to have lunch or something.
This morning, he turned the lake shore to collect fish tickets as usual, he was not black, 10 yuan per person, and he would give less and more fishing when he met acquaintances. After turning around, he sneaked to Hong Tao with a small teapot, put on a small stone stool next to him, and began to talk to Hong Tao.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Hong Tao still didn't have a fish, and this Boss Guo couldn't see it, so he planned to go to the north gate of the park to order takeout, and bring Hong Tao's back by the way. Just when the two of them were discussing what to eat, suddenly one of Hong Tao's fishing rods moved, and it was not the tip of the rod nodding or trembling, but the whole rod slowly bent down from the tip, so that the bell hanging on the tip of the rod did not ring at the first time.
"I'm X, your pole!" Because it was facing the water, Boss Guo first noticed the movement of the fishing rod, pointed to the fishing rod and shouted loudly, this is Hong Tao was facing away from the water surface to figure out what he was eating, and only after hearing the shout did he react, and quickly ran over to copy the fishing rod.
"It's strong, it's not small, my little wheel is enough to choke!" After picking up the pole, Hong Tao's heart sank, and a bad feeling came to his heart.
The feeling that came from his hand, Hong Tao knew that this fish was not small, and as for how big it could be, it was really unclear. It didn't struggle at the bottom of the water, but swam at a constant speed toward the west. However, no matter how much Hongtao increases the force of the brakes, or swings the fishing line, it cannot force it to turn around, and if it continues to develop according to this trend, the line on the Hongtao fishing boat will be pulled out by it sooner or later.
Because it is close to home and walks to the park every day with a fishing rod on his back, Hong Tao chose four short sea rods with a length of 2 meters and 7 meters, and then equipped each rod with a 4000 type small and medium-sized fishing wheel with a 150-meter No. 6 fishing line wrapped around it.
This configuration is okay to deal with more than 10 catties of fish, but if it is larger, it is a little inadequate. Hong Tao didn't plan to catch big fish here at all, the last time the two big carp were just an accident, according to the old people and old fishing friends who live nearby, the largest fish here should be so big, I haven't seen a bigger one.
But this time Hong Tao caught up with a bigger fish again, so that with this set of fishing tackle in his hand, he couldn't pull it at all, and watched the fishing line in the fishing wheel be pulled away one by one, and the fishing wheel was about to bottom out in a few minutes.
"Brother Guo, please put the fishing rod on the left and help me put it away." Seeing that he couldn't control the fish in the water, Hong Tao could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he planned to collect a fishing rod, and then use the hook of the fishing rod to wrap the fishing rod in his hand, and use the fishing rod relay method to increase the length of the fishing line, to see if he could finally defeat the big fish in the water.
At this time, there were already a lot of people around Hong Tao, there were old people walking in the park, and there were also fishing friends nearby, everyone was commenting on the size of the fish in the water, and there were people who gave Hong Tao ideas. That idea is really varied, some people let Hong Tao swim in the water to chase fish, some people asked Boss Guo to borrow a boat on the water, and then get on the boat to go fishing, and some people instigated Hong Tao to screw the drain to death, and then go to tug of war with the big fish, try the quality of the fishing line and hook......
Hong Tao didn't hear these people's remarks, these people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and there are those who are envious, jealous and hateful, and it's strange to hear that they can catch fish.
At this time, Boss Guo was rocking the fishing wheel to the recycling line, I don't know if the big fish felt the danger and suddenly began to accelerate, which made the fishing line, which was not rich in the first place, about to bottom out.
"Alas, it's up to death, what should be yours is yours, it's useless if it's not yours." Looking at the fishing line that was about to be pulled out in the fishing boat, Hong Tao couldn't wait for Boss Guo anymore, so he had no choice but to screw the brakes to death, and then try to lift the fishing rod, trying to tug of war with the big fish, and strive to use the hook to sting the big fish, so that it turned around and swam.
"Shhh...... Hiss...... Syllable! "The brakes of the fishing wheel can not resist the pull of the big fish, the fishing line is still going out, Hong Tao had to hold the fishing wheel with his hand, using artificial brakes, the result only lasted less than 2 seconds, only to hear a crisp sound, the fishing line was broken.
"Oops...... It's a pity, I would have found a boat sooner......"
"Hey, didn't I say just now, let you turn off the brakes early, don't listen to me, not only do these fish run away, but the fishing line can't be saved." With the sound of the fishing line breaking, a sigh of regret and exclamation immediately sounded around. (To be continued......)
