The bright red tail, the plump belly, the whole fish looked like a pregnant lady with a big belly, what a big carp!
This carp definitely didn't look wild; out of breeding season, it's so bloated, no wonder it only took a little over twenty minutes to land it,
Zhang Yang estimated it to be about ten or twenty pounds, floating belly up in the water looking pitiful.
Seeing the fish out of the water, Zhang Yang hurriedly steadied the net pole and slowly pulled the fish closer.
The 40cm diameter of the net head made netting this big fish a bit challenging, but the fish was completely exhausted and wouldn't struggle. Zhang Yang patiently netted it from below the head, lifting it out of the water with its tail partly exposed.
Once he held it with his hands, Zhang Yang got a more accurate assessment of the fish's weight. It was heavier than the visual estimate in the water, probably over twenty pounds, with its plump figure adding quite a bit more weight.
