The Top Fishing
Chapter 115: Exceptionally Gifted

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Exceptionally Gifted

"Haha, sure," Lin Yang said with a smile before starting the live stream.

Because his live stream of fishing for a huge catch had been a hit the day before, he had gained tens of thousands of new followers in just one day, pushing his total fan count past 150,000.

So when the live stream started, hundreds of viewers rushed in instantly.

"The host was so cool yesterday, are you going to catch another giant fish today?"

"Eh? Who’s the girl next to Master Lin?"

"She’s such a babe. Is she Master Lin’s girlfriend? Or a fan?"

Before he started teaching Yue’er to fish, Lin Yang also greeted his viewers, "Hello everyone, today I brought my assistant to a river ditch to fish. She can’t fish, so I’ll be teaching her today, and at the same time, teach the female followers in the live room who can’t fish... "

"Wow, are there female fans in the live room?"

"Is there any girl in Jiangdong City? Don’t bother learning from Master Lin, I can teach you to fish in person."

"Pfft, you don’t really want to teach her to fish; you just want a bite of this fish, don’t you?"

With Yue’er’s appearance today, the live room became noticeably livelier, but after greeting everyone, Lin Yang did not pay much attention to it anymore.

He prepared the fishing spot and bait, and then started to formally teach Yue’er how to fish.

"...Right, pull two hooks into the bait, and you can pull out two balls of bait. Be careful not to get your hands hooked. Throw it out like I do, wait for the float to settle, and once there’s movement, lift it up... "

Lin Yang personally demonstrated, guiding her hands on how to fish.

Yue’er held the fishing rod very seriously and also managed to cast the fish hook into the water in a proper form.

Under Lin Yang’s patient guidance, she caught her first fish ten minutes later.

"Quick, the float’s moving, lift it now,"

As she lifted the rod, a small white fish was hooked and brought up.

"So fun..." She watched the lively jumping white fish in the air, her face full of excitement.

Fishing is just like this. The moment you catch a fish seems to make one’s adrenaline surge, creating great excitement that remains memorable afterwards.

It’s for this reason that people can’t forget fishing and might even get addicted to it.

Half an hour later, she could already cast the short rod quite skillfully, hooking a small white fish every few minutes. She was undoubtedly naturally gifted at fishing.

Although today, Lin Yang wasn’t aiming for a giant catch but just fishing by this small river ditch, the presence of Yue’er still kept quite a few people watching, maintaining about 2,000 viewers in the live room, double what it had been recently.

"Is this girl really learning to fish for the first time? She seems very talented at fishing, much better than me."

"With Master Lin teaching hands-on, of course she would learn fast."

Although Yue’er had previously gone with Lin Yang to a stream to catch small fish, that time she hadn’t systematically learned how to prepare the fishing spot or cast the rod, so this was essentially her first real lesson in rod fishing.

After fishing for two hours, she had become very proficient in fishing techniques, managing to catch fish on her own without much instruction from Lin Yang.

Just then, the float went fully under, and Yue’er quickly lifted the rod!

The fish underwater was so strong that she almost couldn’t hold on.

Fortunately, she was quick and grabbed the fishing rod with both hands, managing to stabilize it.

However, the fish still hadn’t surfaced, clearly indicating it was a large one.

The viewers in the live room were stunned. Was there no justice? She’d only learned to fish for two hours, and she’d already hooked a big one?

"Actually, there’s a reason for it. The girl is using bait made by Master Lin and fishing in the same spot as him, so that’s why the bites are so good..."

"I know, but still, the thought that I can’t even outfish a woman makes me feel upset."

As the viewers felt down, Lin Yang was teaching her how to play the fish.

"Hold the rod upright, right, keep it at an angle close to 90 degrees, stand firm, and if you feel you can’t pull it when the fish underwater is fighting, follow it a few steps, and when you feel the fish weakening, pull back, and reel it in... "

"Good, just like that, the fish is gasping for water, it’s about to flip over."

The fish she had hooked was actually not very big, just a Carp weighing slightly over a pound. After playing it for two minutes, the fish underwater started to gasp and turn belly up.

But in Yue’er’s eyes, this one fish was worth all the others she had caught before, so she excitedly said, "This fish is so big, it’s more than ten times bigger than the others I’ve caught... It’s out of strength, what should we do now?"

Lin Yang said, "Just hold the fishing rod steady, and I’ll help you net the fish."

With that, he picked up the landing net and helped Yue’er net the Carp, which was a beautiful yellow tone, and unscathed.

Looking at the small carp in front of her, Yue’er couldn’t help but feel happy, and joyfully said, "Brother Yang, I finally understand why you love fishing so much. Fishing is really fun and makes one very happy!"

Lin Yang laughed and said, "Then you should come fishing with me more often, I guarantee you’ll be happy every day."

"Sure, sure!" Yue’er nodded like a rabbit, very willing.

She had been by herself in the village every day recently, and apart from Lin Yang, there was no one her age to chat with; she was almost bored to death.

After another half hour of fishing, she caught another two-pound grass carp, which left both the live stream audience and the anglers around the fishing spots numb.

Especially the guy next to her, who often came here to fish whenever he had time, but spent over half of each month "turtle fishing," and catching three or four bigger fish a month was considered good.

But this girl who had just learned to fish had already caught two decent-sized fish in a row, which made him feel quite embarrassed. He couldn’t help but sigh that Master Lin truly was amazing, even his students were so impressive!

Time slowly passed, and soon it was noon, time for lunch. Besides catching two slightly bigger fish earlier, Yue’er then only caught some small white fish.

Lin Yang checked the time and said, "That’s about it, let’s head back. We’ll fish again tomorrow."

Yue’er, who was seriously staring at the bobber on the water, heard his words and nodded, "Oh, okay."

This morning, Lin Yang hadn’t caught many big fish either, mainly because Yue’er had been occupying his spot, so he spent most of his time watching Yue’er fish.

When they left, they released most of their catch back into the water, only letting Yue’er take the two-pound carp home; they didn’t keep the rest.

After all, it was getting late, and going to the town to sell the fish would be too troublesome, Lin Yang thought.

After returning home, the two did not go fishing in the afternoon. Instead, they stayed home to help out, just as his father had said the night before, hiring two helpers from the village early this morning.

...

That evening,

while Lin Yang and the guys in the group were discussing where there were good fishing spots recently, a phone call came in.

It was from Wang Feng.

Picking up the phone, Lin Yang asked, "Brother Feng, where are you? Are you back yet?"

He remembered the last time they parted at Wang Jian Country’s Dongyang Fishing Ground, Wang Feng had mentioned he was going out of town for a tournament, and Lin Yang wasn’t sure if it had finished yet.

Wang Feng immediately responded over the phone, "Just got back tonight, now I’ve got something big to tell you."

Lin Yang, "What’s the big news? You’re getting married?"

"Not about me, it’s about you."

Lin Yang, "Me?"

He was doing well, what could possibly be the big issue?

"A few days ago, didn’t I tell you I was going out of province for a tournament? Guess what? I met Wang Erwen from the Tianyuan Team there, and I mentioned you to him. He’s very interested in you. He came back with me to Jiangdong City because he wants to meet you and see if you might want to join their Tianyuan Club. But, you two need to have a competition first, he wants to see your skills for himself..."

Wang Feng told Lin Yang quite a bit, but he still roughly understood what was being conveyed.

Lin Yang certainly knew of the Tianyuan Club, a club founded by the legendary Deng Lianyong, which not only sells various fishing gear but also has its own team.

Also, Deng Lianyong is a nationally renowned first-class competition angler, often referred to as the ’Fishing King’ of the country.

The Tianyuan Club he founded is considered one of the top three fishing clubs in the country, and Wang Erwen is a well-known member of the Tianyuan Team.

It has been said before, professional anglers also have many different ranks. If Wang Feng is considered a small-time eighteenth-line angler, then Wang Erwen is a top-tier angler.

Lin Yang wasn’t interested in joining any clubs, even if it was the top-ranking Tianyuan Club in the country.

But this time, Wang Feng had good intentions. After he met Wang Erwen, he immediately thought of introducing him to Wang Erwen, hoping to get him into the Tianyuan Team.

One should know that the Tianyuan Team is not something Wang Feng’s minor team can compare to; if one could join the Tianyuan Team, as long as you have enough skills, you could definitely rise to fame rapidly.

Lin Yang thought it over and since Wang Feng had already promised to meet with him, it seemed better to meet.

So, he paused slightly, then said, "Is he here to challenge me to Black Pond Fishing?"

Wang Feng, "He didn’t specify that, just asked me to see if you’re free tomorrow. Whether it’s Black Pond Fishing or Catfish Fishing, it’s a chance to make a name for yourself, you really need to seize this opportunity."

In his view, Lin Yang definitely had the talent to join the Tianyuan Team, and entering one of the country’s best clubs was undoubtedly a dream for countless anglers.

Thinking it over, Lin Yang then said, "Tell him I’m free tomorrow. If he wants to compete in Catfish Fishing, he can pick the location; I don’t know any catfish fishing ground owners. If it’s Black Pond Fishing, let’s choose Dongyang Fishing Ground."

Wang Feng quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I’ll ask him now. If he wants to fish for catfish, I’ll ask our boss to help out tomorrow, no problem."

After hanging up the phone,

Lin Yang received a message from Yue’er asking where he would take her fishing tomorrow.

Lin Yang was slightly startled, not expecting her to really love fishing so much that she’d message him about it at night.

However, he definitely wouldn’t refuse such a request and promptly replied: ’I’ll take you to either Black Pond Fishing or Catfish Fishing.’

Yue’er’s message quickly came back: ’Okay, see you tomorrow then, goodnight #cute#’

Bringing his assistant tomorrow to match skills with Wang Erwen, he definitely had to win. Otherwise, it would damage the image he had in Yue’er’s eyes.
