It only took three or four minutes before the fishing rod started to show signs of life.
The rod trembled slightly at first, then, with a "whoosh," it bent violently downwards.
The extent of the bend almost made one think the rod was about to break, and this was a stiff boat rod!
The line inside the reel was rapidly being pulled out by the fish, and the nearly locked drag seemed to be of no use, causing Chu Mingcheng to almost think his reel was loose.
All signs indicated he had hooked a true behemoth.
Chu Mingcheng grabbed the rod with both hands to try and lift it, it was incredibly heavy, and he could barely move it with his strength.
He then reached for the rapidly spinning reel handle, the handle struck his palm and was caught, it was painful, but he failed to stop the handle from turning.
Not only that, the resistance on his end caused the rod to bend even more, and the line tensed up even further.
