Chapter 236: Chapter 154: Fishing for the Giant Blue_2

Soon, Brother Feng learned about his big catch and came over with another unfamiliar friend to the fishing spot nearby.

"Can you handle it, or do you need me to help you reel it in for a while?" Brother Feng asked.

Lin Yang almost agreed in that instant, but ultimately clenched his teeth and didn’t give in, "I’ll hold on a little longer, we’ll see if I can’t handle it. The last two surges of effort were much weaker."

And so he endured, for another half an hour.

More than an hour had passed since he hooked the fish, and yet the big fish showed no sign of surfacing, while Lin Yang’s arms had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

After about another five minutes, the big fish finally surfaced.

A large fish, pushed up by the force of the rod, briefly showed its head above the water, then plunged down again to exert more force. Its tail slapped the water surface, splashing up waves.

"Wow, that’s huge, that must be a Large Crucian Carp, based on the flipping action it looks like it weighs dozens of pounds."

"Dozens of pounds? It feels like at least fifty or sixty pounds minimum."

Seeing the big fish surface, Lin Yang exerted more force once again, not giving the fish underwater any chance to breathe.

Actually, when the fish was pushed out of the water, it was already at its limits, unable to resist the rod’s springy strength, which was why it surfaced like that. Now as he exerted force again, he easily brought the fish up.

This time, as the fish’s head came out of the water, Lin Yang seized the opportunity and lifted his arms to keep the fish at the surface.

After swallowing three mouthfuls of water, the stubborn big fish finally became much more docile and was slowly pulled towards the shore.

Li Xiaopeng had been ready with the landing net, the mouth of the net already submerged in the water, and Lin Yang steadily pulled the fish into the net.

Push forward, lift up, safely netted.

"Phew..." Once the fish was in the landing net, Lin Yang let out a heavy sigh of relief. The wild fish in this reservoir were terrifyingly powerful.

"Whoa, cousin, this bream must be at least sixty or seventy pounds, I can barely lift it." Li Xiaopeng’s arms, as he held the net, noticeably bulged with veins.

It’s always less real to see the fish in the water, but once the fish was laid out, you could truly sense its size.

Over 1.2 meters in length, its skin slightly tinged with grayish-green, not a single scale missing - this streamlined shape is found only in wild fish grown naturally, and it looked absolutely beautiful.

"Tsk tsk, well done, Master Lin, this fish looks like it weighs sixty or seventy pounds by visual estimate," Brother Feng said after examining it for a while, very confidently.

Lin Yang pressed down on the fish’s head to remove the hook, then after straightening out the line and casting it back into the water, he finally picked up the fish.

Heavy. Holding a big fish felt like hugging a large piglet - a solid lump of flesh, giving off a very solid feeling.

"Look, everyone, after an hour and a half, an 8.1-meter fishing rod has successfully landed this Big carp, and everyone witnessed it live."

"The host is really amazing, when it comes to fishing big ones, you’re definitely the leader."

"Such a big fish must be worth a lot of money, are you selling it, host? I’ll pay 5000 yuan, if that works I can come and pick it up."

"5000? Brother upstairs, I’m afraid you have some misconceptions about how much such a big fish is worth. Let alone fish, just the bluefish stone in its throat, such a large fish is worth far more than 5000 yuan."

This time Feng Bing invited Lin Yang to fish here for free, so even if Lin Yang sold the bream he caught, Feng Bing probably wouldn’t mind.

After all, merely the live broadcast promotion from catching such a big fish was worth more than the fish itself.

However, Lin Yang clearly was not that kind of person. Not only had Brother Feng treated him to food and drinks but also allowed him to fish here for free. If Lin Yang were to sell the fish he landed, it would be a bit indecent, and besides, he wasn’t short on money.

Glancing at the barrage, he saw many viewers still asking if he was selling the fish, he immediately shook his head and said, "Okay, everyone stop asking. I’m not selling this bream. It hasn’t been easy for it to grow this big in the reservoir. Let’s spare its life. Brother Feng has a scale here, we will weigh the fish, and then we’ll release it back."

To be honest, although this fish was not small, it hadn’t reached my expectation. According to Brother Feng, this reservoir hasn’t been drained in at least thirty to forty years, always filled with fish. I guess there are bigger ones inside. I will continue to fish and see if I can land an even bigger one."

While he spoke, Brother Feng came back with two handheld electronic scales.

"This fish is too big, definitely over 30 pounds, these two scales should be able to lift it."

They wrapped the fish in the landing net and hung both hooks. Both men exerted force with their arms, lifting the big fish together.

The first scale read 32.8, the second 31.9, with a combined weight of 64.7 pounds.

"The total weight is 64.7 pounds. This is the first Large Crucian Carp over 50 pounds in this reservoir. Now let’s release it back into the water, to carry a message home, to tell its family - grandparents and all - to come over because there’s good food here."

With a humorous jest, Lin Yang put the big fish back into the water, steadying it with one hand and continuously splashing water with the other to create oxygenating waves. Gradually, the fish recovered some strength and its tail began to sway gently.

Seeing this, Lin Yang let go, allowing the big fish to swim into deeper waters.

A few seconds later, the prize fish disappeared from view in front of everyone in the live broadcast.
