Chapter 238: Chapter 155: Rowing and Fishing

The fishing rod slowly drifted towards the deeper waters, the angle being pulled down from seventy or eighty degrees to fifty degrees, forty degrees, and still moving forward.

In desperation, Lin Yang once again tried the inverted rod technique.

However, the previously surefire technique for controlling the fish was completely ineffective against this large fish.

The rod, already half-submerged and bent like a great bow, showed no signs of the fish turning back as it continued to swim calmly forward.

Seeing that the rod’s curve had exceeded its normal limits, further resistance would undoubtedly result in it snapping; Lin Yang decisively let go, allowing the large fish to pull the rod towards the deep-water area.

"Holy cow, the streamer actually let go! What kind of monster could be in the water?"

"Even the inverted rod technique can’t turn it around; looks like we’re about to see Master Lin’s unbeatable Losing Hand Rope escape method."

The viewers in the live broadcast were looking forward to it, but Lin Yang had no intention of relying on the Losing Hand Rope.

The one-hundred-meter Losing Hand Rope might seem long, but it’s definitely not enough for a fish of this caliber; he didn’t harbor such wishful thinking.

"Xiao Peng, call Brother Feng and tell him to row the boat over here, we’re going boat fishing!"

"Huh? Isn’t the Losing Hand Rope secure? We’re getting on the boat? Isn’t that a bit much?" Li Xiaopeng, who also knew about fishing, was somewhat puzzled after hearing Lin Yang ask him to call for a boat.

"I’ll explain later, make the call now," Lin Yang urged as he smoothly let out the Losing Hand Rope bit by bit.

"Okay!"

Li Xiaopeng obliged and immediately called Brother Feng on his phone.

Shortly after, Brother Feng hurried over. By then, Lin Yang had already let out fifty to sixty meters of the Losing Hand Rope, and the large fish showed no intention of turning back.

"What’s going on, Master Lin?" Brother Feng arrived out of breath, fixing his gaze on the extended rod handle in the water.

"Ran into a big one; I can say with absolute certainty it’s much larger than the one from two days ago. The kind that won’t turn back even with the inverted rod technique. Brother Feng, could you row the boat over here? We’re going to boat fish. It’s really hard to contend with it from shore; I’m afraid if it pulls too hard, I might get dragged into the water."

"That big? Okay, I’ll row over right now!"

Brother Feng was exceptionally decisive. After getting a clear picture of the situation, he sprinted along the shoreline toward the docked boat in a backwater cove on the north side.

Soon, he rowed a three-meter-long metal boat towards Lin Yang and the others.

"Come on, get on the boat! Watch your center of gravity, don’t flip it."

"Alright." Lin Yang responded, stepping onto the boat with a large stride as soon as it stabilized, immediately crouching to lower his center of gravity and naturally sitting at the most stable center point on the boat.

Yue’er and Li Xiaopeng, eager to watch the excitement and the live broadcast, also carefully boarded the boat.

Once the three were seated, Lin Yang instructed the rowing Brother Feng, "Just row forward following the Losing Hand Rope."

"Okay!"

Brother Feng immediately straightened the boat and advanced in the direction of the Losing Hand Rope.

Lin Yang held the box-style Losing Hand Rope in hand, slowly reeling the rope back in. A minute later, he grasped the rod handle protruding from the water again.

Grasping the handle on the boat, he felt much more assured. He carefully adjusted the angle to arch the rod back into position and then removed the Losing Hand Rope from behind, which had become somewhat of a nuisance.

He then addressed the live broadcast phone with Li Xiaopeng, "This fish is much larger than everyone expected. If I use my rod and tackle to directly fight the fish, the success rate will be much lower. That’s why I’m using this compromise method of boat fishing. We’ve already overcome the first hurdle. Now it’s about seeing where the fish runs; it’s going to be a battle of endurance."

While speaking, Lin Yang employed Hua’s rod holding method, tucking the handle firmly under his right arm. Without a doubt, he was mentally prepared for a protracted battle.

As for the large fish under the water, it didn’t react much when the metal boat initially came over, but when it got close and Lin Yang stood up with the fishing rod again, the fish seemed agitated. It subtly changed direction and continued towards the southern side.

Under the fish’s pull, the small boat moved steadily forward, altering its course slightly in the same direction as the force.

"Holy moly, the big fish is changing directions. It must be really huge to be able to move a metal boat."

"Simmer down up there. A fisherman who grew up by the water will tell you that it doesn’t take much effort to move a metal boat; the resistance of floating objects isn’t that great."

"Are you sure, buddy? According to you, it doesn’t take a very big fish to move the boat, does it?"

Lin Yang glanced at the chat and said, "Actually, the viewer just now is correct. Even that bream from two days ago, weighing over 60 pounds, could easily pull the metal boat. But being able to pull is one thing; the swimming speed is another, and how long it can continue to pull is yet another matter. We judge the size of the fish on many dimensions, not just by whether it can move the boat."

After a while, the large fish underwater once again proved his point, as it started to accelerate!

The previously calm boat, having adjusted its direction, began to speed up, heading straight for the deep-water area on the southern side.

Lin Yang held tightly onto the rod, without any intention of letting go. Since he was on a boat, he could wear the fish down slowly; the battle would end only when it ran out of strength.

No one expected that they would keep chasing the fish for over two hours.
