Chapter 194: Chapter 143: Catching a Fish in Five Seconds_2

Although he did not count his fingers this time, some attentive viewers still noticed that it took about five seconds to hook the fish.

"Wow, it’s confirmed he’s hooking fish. I just counted, and from casting the rod into the water to lifting it to stab the fish, the whole process took about five seconds."

"The third fish Master Lin caught is even bigger than the previous one, three in a row, each bigger than the last, simply terrifying."

"At this rate, he really could turn the game around."

"Don’t rush, Lin Yang has been continuously successful, but he hasn’t won yet. We’ll know the result at the end, the neighboring trio is also constantly catching fish."

During the first two hours, Lin Yang hadn’t caught a single fish, making him the last angler in the competition to catch one.

If calculated by the weight of individual fish, his catch initially ranked him at the bottom, which is 60th place.

However, starting from 2 hours and 25 minutes, after Lin Yang caught his first white carp, within half an hour, he had successively caught three large catfish, the first weighing over ten kilograms, the second twenty kilograms, and the third over twenty kilograms, each bigger than the last....

The total weight of these three catfish now likely puts him among the top ten based on individual fish weights.

Although his individual fish weight still lagged behind, even the ranking of his team of three was far behind, his fish-catching process did not stop there!

After securing the third fish, Lin Yang casually cast his line again, precisely throwing the bait into the nest, and then the live broadcast viewers began counting for him.

In the live chat, many viewers started counting one, two, three....

This time it was still a count of five; when the viewers reached five, he lifted the rod again.

Unsurprisingly, he caught another fish.

At this moment, it seemed as if a spell had been cast on Lin Yang’s spot, as if casting the rod for five seconds would catch a fish.

This situation continued from 2 hours and 25 minutes up to just before the third hour of the match, about 40 minutes of time, he was constantly in the rhythm of casting the rod, counting to five, then catching a fish.

The most time-consuming part for him during this period was not watching for fish, but playing the fish.

Since the catfish were quite large, even with Lin Yang’s strength being double that of a normal person, each fish still took about five to six minutes to reel in.

Towards the latter part, he even caught a catfish weighing over 40 kilograms, which was the largest individual catch of the entire competition so far.

As this 40-plus kilogram Big Flower Head was brought ashore, the main camera of the program naturally focused again on Lin Yang, zooming in on this big catch.

The female host and several fishing experts commentating the match also became excited upon seeing this fish.

"Oh my, we see contestant Lin Yang has caught a very large catfish, it’s a Hua Lian, and this fish seems to weigh about thirty to forty kilograms at least."

"With more than twenty years of experience in fishing and commentary, I estimate this fish to be about 45 kilograms, with an error of no more than two kilograms."

"This contestant is incredible; this is so far the biggest fish of the competition and very likely the only one because catching a fish over 40 kilograms in wild fishing is extremely rare."

"This Lin Yang is amazing, showing slow yet thorough preparation. For the first over two hours, not only did he catch no fish, he was also not flustered, but in just a short hour, he not only consecutively hit big catfish but also caught the biggest fish of today. Continuing this trend, he could potentially flip his last-place status directly to first place."

"It seems this is what they call a dark horse, suddenly soaring to brilliance."

In the discussions of the female host and guest commentators, Lin Yang’s attention reached an unprecedented level.

By this time, no one dared to say his fishing was ineffective or merely a reputation.

However, still, a few anglers raised new doubts, as it was indeed hard to believe going from not catching a single fish an hour ago to now continuously catching large fish.

"I can’t accept this result; counting to 5 and then catching a fish completely goes against the norms of fishing."

"Exactly, it’s too bizarre, how did he do it? Could he really predict catching a fish within 5 seconds?"

"I’ve heard of this scenario, where you count to 5 and catch a fish, but this usually happens with white stripers."

"That’s right, sometimes for white stripers, the float hasn’t even settled when the hook is already bitten; but he’s fishing for catfish, and isn’t it that you have to wait for catfish?"

"It’s too outrageous; I hope after this match ends, the organizers will ask Master Lin just how he did it, and if he can provide a reasonable explanation, then I will truly admire him."

Lin Yang’s astonishing performance temporarily made him the hottest topic of the entire program.

Other local fishing experts and even internet famous anglers also had some impressive performances, but compared to Lin Yang’s bewildering show, they were lagging far behind.

Thus, approximately since Lin Yang caught the third catfish, the program’s main screen was essentially focusing on him, only switching to other contestants catching fish when he was playing a fish.

For about an hour, he was able to catch a catfish every five to six minutes; most of this time was spent playing the fish, but essentially as soon as he cast a rod, he would quickly catch a fish.
