Chapter 269: Chapter 163: Fly Fishing_2

And how come the scales are so large?

If this had been in the past, these workers wouldn’t have made such a fuss, because they simply wouldn’t recognize this type of fish, but now things are different.

In the past hour, they had kept hearing about and seeing this type of fish. Isn’t this the same fish that the Energy Girl Team just caught and everyone treated like a treasure?

Large Scale Whitefish, a rare fish species declared extinct in 1981.

But... why are there so many here??

The workers were completely astonished. They couldn’t believe their eyes and repeatedly confirmed, then confirmed with each other, finally concluding they were neither mistaken nor insane.

It was indeed a group of Large Scale Whitefish, clustered together in the fish guard, totaling seven or eight!

"My god, is this fish extinct or overabundant? How could there be so many?"

"Quick, someone come here, look at this!"

Under the workers’ shouting, everyone’s attention finally shifted here.

A cameraman also came over, wanting to capture what exactly happened that shocked the workers so much.

But when the cameraman approached and filmed the scene inside the fish guard.

"Damn, I must be hallucinating. Someone slap me and wake me up."

"Large Scale Whitefish? A group of Large Scale Whitefish?"

Among those who had come, whether they were part of the production team or the research experts, or even the viewers watching the live broadcast, they all struggled to believe their eyes for a moment.

It was the official expert who reacted the fastest, who immediately instructed the workers, "Quick, start protecting and transferring them immediately, these fish are invaluable!"

The experts were obviously thrilled. Before, they had hoped to get just one male and one female to form breeding pairs, which would have been great.

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, instead of just getting a few fish to form breeding pairs, there was enough here to set up a large-scale matchmaking event.

Now, they truly had enough material for their research.

"Well done, young man, you have made a significant contribution to our aquatic fishery research!" an expert sincerely told Lin Yang.

"It’s what I should do. Oh, and don’t forget to count them when you move the fish; I still need to keep score."

"Don’t worry, we will count them accurately, not missing even one, haha....

The experts’ back teeth showed in their smiles; of course, they would count how many fish there were, now every single one of these fish was a priceless treasure.

The audiences, from start to finish, were utterly astounded.

"Damn, Master Lin caught so many Large Scale Whitefish without making a sound; he’s really playing dumb to turn a huge profit."

"I just want to know now, how exactly did he manage to catch so many Large Scale Whitefish?"

"To be fair, it was Xiao Ai who first caught the Large Scale Whitefish today, proving that this species still exists. But Master Lin catching so many only proves there might not be a small quantity of these fish."

Although Xiao Ai was the first to catch a Large Scale Whitefish, the fact that Lin Yang caught many at once still aroused many people’s suspicions.

The program’s commentary expert was also puzzled, and even a program expert stated right on the spot, "Both competitors catching Large Scale Whitefish proves this species is definitely not extinct. However, it is certain that there are not many of them in the wild because if there were, someone would have captured them by now to prove their existence and would have received a reward. But for decades, no one has caught this type of fish."

These words from the expert were also recognized by the wider audience.

"Though there might be Large Scale Whitefish in the wild, there definitely aren’t many, only a few left in Fuxian Lake, perhaps."

"I still want to know, what secret does Master Lin have to always catch these rare fish species?"

In the midst of the audience’s curiosity, the production team did not disappoint them and conducted a post-competition interview with Lin Yang, "Mr. Lin Yang, how did you manage to catch so many Large Scale Whitefish, and is there any trick to it?"

Lin Yang feigned thoughtfulness, "Maybe it’s just that I get along with these rare fish. I don’t know why they like my bait, I just saw the float move and pulled them up, that’s what any fisherman would do."

Regarding his answer, fellow anglers called it nonsense.

"What compatibility with fish, damn fishermen always love to mess with these superstitious things."

"Speaking of getting along with fish, it makes me want to vomit. Every time I go out fishing with a friend, he gets a haul and I get nothing. The fortune teller told me we don’t harmonize with the fish, darn it."

"Haha, getting along with fish is just mythology. If that were true, I might get along with my dogfish because every time I take my dog fishing, I at least catch a big carp."

"To the person above, can I borrow your dog...."

Lin Yang fobbed off the production team with the reason of getting along with the fish, but in reality, there were roughly three reasons why he was able to catch seven or eight Large Scale Whitefish.

One was that his ’Miraculous Fishing Float’ had worked, luring the most rare Large Scale Whitefish in the lake.

The second was that he had used a powerful fish attractant, which might have also played a role. Plus, the third reason was that he moved quickly through fishing spots, thus attracting a large school of fish.
