Every once in a while, someone would shout, causing the anglers' attention to constantly shift, either to check who caught a fish or to ask about the latest weighing results. The varying fish catch weights quietly spread among judges, and the temporary rankings of the big fish competition changed from time to time.
Zhang Yang's big carp, weighing less than sixteen catty, didn't stay on top for long. Within half an hour, it was surpassed by another angler's catch on the north bank. By 10:30 in the morning, the record for the champion's fish catch weight was refreshed to 9.77 kg, nearly breaking the twenty catty record.
Compared to most anglers, Zhang Yang was still relatively calm. After catching a little piglet from the nest, Zhang Yang's judgment was fully confirmed. The subsequent fishing just required him to systematically replenish the nest every once in a while and then patiently wait with a soft sticky bait.
