Chapter 239: Chapter 155: Rowing and Fishing_2

The large fish underwater pulled the boat as if it would never tire, circling several times. Lin Yang’s arm clutching the rod had switched hands back and forth multiple times, and finally, the large fish began to slow down.

Looking at Lin Yang again, his high-intensity core muscles were tight, causing him immense physical exertion. His close-fitting clothes were already soaked through, and his sun-protection suit was also dampened by sweat, his cheeks, forehead, and nose all covered in beads of sweat.

"Can you hold on any longer? If not, hand me the rod, and I’ll help you for a while," Brother Feng on the boat said, seeing Lin Yang looking somewhat drained and asking with concern.

He shook his head and replied, "I can still manage, just a little longer, the fish should roll over soon."

Seeing him this tired yet still full of fighting spirit, the viewers in the live stream were impressed.

"Who said Master Lin was weak and frail just now? Could you last for more than two hours?"

"The host is pushing himself too hard. When it’s time to switch, switch. When it’s time to rest, rest for a while. Don’t wear yourself out."

Lin Yang explained, "Logically, the most sensible strategy would indeed be to alternate and rest. That’s what Brother Feng is suggesting too. However, it’s not easy to catch such a large fish with a hand rod today, and I want to take this opportunity to challenge my limits. I must personally bring up this large fish today."

After these bold words, what followed was yet another lengthy process of playing the fish.

Three hours since the bite, the large fish that had been dashing wildly underwater finally exhausted itself, its speed decreasing.

Feeling the speed of the small boat slowing down, Lin Yang let out a sigh of relief. The next second, he deliberately slapped the handle of the rod with one hand.

"Give it some more strength, wear out all its energy."

Stimulated by the vibration of the rod handle slapping, the large fish underneath tensed up considerably, darting another forty to fifty meters forward. This time, it could no longer move.

Lin Yang also felt it was about time. He hugged the fishing rod with both hands, exerting force from the top, and the large fish slowly surfaced.

The mere glimpse of the white underbelly of the fish shocked everyone.

Large, this fish was astoundingly large, almost beyond everyone’s imagination.

"Holy smokes, what sort of beast is this? Did we bring up the king of the reservoir? It looks bigger than an adult human."

"This giant bream definitely weighs over a hundred pounds."

In the frame, Lin Yang, with both hands on the rod, slowly pushed the large fish up to the surface of the water.

Now, the entire fish was visible above the surface.

A boat about three meters long placed next to the fish took up more than half its length.

The massive mouth and gills of the fish were still opening and closing non-stop, clearly showing that after a long struggle, it was completely spent. This was the first time Lin Yang had ever caught such an exaggeratedly large crucian carp.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally before the fish surfaced, the moment he saw it, he was still shocked. Li Xiaopeng and Yue’er beside him also stood there, dumbstruck.

Such a huge bream was something everyone was seeing for the first time, and it might not have even been seen in videos.

"Damn, Master Lin, you’ve outdone yourself this time. This big carp must be easily over a hundred pounds. I can’t believe we really have such big fish in our reservoir!" Brother Feng, who was rowing, couldn’t help but exclaim after seeing the full length of the big fish.

Even at his age, his voice trembled when he spoke, indicating the impact the big fish had on him.

Lin Yang, "Let’s row the boat to the shore first, it’s not safe on the water."

"Right, head to shore first, and think about the rest once we’re on land." Brother Feng agreed, beginning to row hard, slowly approaching the shore with the belly-up fish in tow.

Yue’er, standing at the stern, also came out of her initial shock, exclaiming non-stop, "Brother Yang, this fish must be easily over a hundred pounds. It looks a bit scary with such a big mouth. How many snails does it have to eat in a day?"

"By estimate, it’s over a hundred with ease."

"I have a weak question to ask, host. Are you selling this fish? I offer 20,000 yuan. If it’s for sale, I can transfer the money immediately, but remember to puncture the fish’s stomach to let out some air."

"Bro above, you must be new here. Why is it that every time a big fish is caught, someone makes an offer? Is 20,000 yuan a lot? Don’t they know Master Lin doesn’t need the money?"

Lin Yang, while nearing the shore, also noticed the discussions in the comments and responded with a smile, "Hello there, fellow angler. The fish I catch are not for sale, but thank you for your support."

Soon enough, the tin boat successfully reached the shore.

Yue’er and Li Xiaopeng climbed ashore first, then they passed the net rod over. Lin Yang’s one hand was still firmly gripping the rod, bending the fish, while the other hand grabbed the rod and was pulled ashore.

"Master Lin, how will you deal with this big carp? Shall I call someone over? The fish is too large; we don’t have the tools right now and it would be difficult to pull up." After landing, Brother Feng stared at the belly-up giant bream in the water and asked.

This bream, weighing over a hundred pounds, was considered a treasure of his reservoir, but after Lin Yang caught it, he left it to Lin Yang to deal with.

Lin Yang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, let’s just take a photo in the water, have a group shot, and call it good. If we bring such a big fish ashore, I guess it won’t survive."

"You don’t want the fish?" Hearing him say this, Brother Feng was also surprised.

Such a large bream could be said to be priceless, its fishing difficulty exceptionally high, and its value extremely great. If they found a buyer willing to spend, selling it for a six-figure sum was possible.

Lin Yang laughed and said casually, "Challenging myself like that and succeeding is already enough for me. I don’t think you’d have the heart to sell it either, would you? Let’s all take a group photo and release it. It’s not easy growing this big."
