A Great Harvest While 'Fishing'

When Di Tou arrived at the river, he indeed saw Mu Di Bai leaning below a tree, a tall hat covering his face, and a short bamboo rod clamped between his arm and leg, reaching out into the water with a slight piece of twine. With his current eyesight, Di Tou could easily tell that not only was the line not baited, there wasn't even a hook! Yet astoundingly, in a bucket by Mu Di Bai's side there were three thick fish.

The three fish were indeed astounding, not only because Mu Di Bai was fishing without a hook, but because this river was really just a relatively large stream, and this relatively large stream… simply didn't carry fish of such a size! At best they would be larger tadpoles and fat frogs, where would one find such large trout and bass?
