Chapter 318: Chapter 176: Longdun Grouper_2

"Gold Bar Fish, truly living up to its name, just like a gold bar, it’s so beautiful."

"A golden legend, you gotta make a wish to be worthy of this fish."

Seeing the fish Lin Yang caught, the online viewers were green with envy.

On the other hand, Ah Jie, looking at the Yellow croaker Lin Yang had caught, felt as if his heart was bleeding. Originally, he was the only one who knew about this spot. If he had come to fish here every day, perhaps the fish could have been his, but now Lin Yang had caught it.

Sea fish and freshwater fish are similar in that they both have certain activity patterns and ranges. They are accustomed to this environment, including the water temperature and food. As long as they are not caught, they will often appear here.

There weren’t many Yellow croaker here to begin with, and now that Lin Yang had caught one, how could his heart not bleed?

After one person caught the first Yellow croaker, everyone else was like chickens injected with blood, eyes glued to their fishing rods, afraid of missing a bite and losing their Yellow croaker.

However, no one had to wait too long. Just after a few minutes, Boss Lei became the second person to catch a golden legend, a Yellow croaker of about two pounds.

Looking at the shiny Yellow croaker in his hands croaking away, he couldn’t be happier. This was more exciting than catching a real gold bar.

Following that, Yue’er and Li Xiaopeng on Lin Yang’s side also successively caught fish, both Yellow croakers weighing over two pounds. This made both of them ecstatic. Although the fish they caught weren’t as big as Lin Yang’s just now, such a fish is also worth tens of thousands of yuan.

On the opposite yacht, the other three bosses also began to catch fish one after another. After the fish were pulled onto the boats, they were all golden and Yellow croakers. While the three were happy, they couldn’t help but admire Lin Yang once more.

"Little bro is too awesome. It’s only been half an hour since we switched to this fishing spot, and all four of us have already caught Yellow croaker."

"That’s right, this Yellow croaker is really beautiful, completely golden. When I get home, I’m going to steam it."

The four of them you say, I say, heaping praise on Lin Yang without mentioning Ah Jie who brought them here. And now, Ah Jie was the only one without a Yellow croaker.

As an old fisherman, watching everyone else catch Yellow croaker and not catching any himself, he felt he was losing face.

After a little while.

Ah Jie, who had not caught a Yellow croaker, suddenly noticed his rod moved, a sign that a fish had taken the bait underwater.

Seeing this, he immediately became excited and set the hook. In no time at all, he actually pulled up a fish, also a golden one, making a croaking sound.

Just when he thought he had finally caught a Yellow croaker, his face suddenly turned and he cursed, "Dammit! There’s something wrong with this fish!"

All four bosses looked over: "What’s wrong with it?"

"You guys caught real Yellow croaker, mine is a fake. Look, the color of this fish isn’t as deep, and there’s a slight difference in appearance. If you don’t look carefully, it’s not noticeable, but as a fisherman, I can tell at a glance."

The four were confused, looking at the fish in Ah Jie’s hands, apparently not much different from the Yellow croaker they had caught earlier, all golden and looking quite nice, and also croaking.

Not far from them, Lin Yang spoke up: "What he caught is indeed a fake Yellow croaker; it’s actually a Spring Fish."

"Spring Fish???"

"Yes, Spring Fish, commonly known as the croaker. Its most significant feature is that it closely resembles the Yellow croaker. Some fishermen even call it the Yellow croaker’s cousin, but whether in price or taste, it’s several grades below the Yellow croaker."

After hearing Lin Yang’s explanation, everyone finally understood why Ah Jie looked so upset. After fishing for so long and finally catching something, his excitement turned to disappointment when it turned out to be a fake, a counterfeit Yellow croaker, and moreover, a fish that wasn’t very valuable.

Seeing the gloom on Ah Jie’s face, the others struggled to hold back their laughter.

As for the captain and guide, the four bosses maintained their composure due to his previous behavior. They had given him face, so they showed no reaction. But in reality, they were definitely a bit annoyed. If it hadn’t been for Lin Yang, their fishing trip today could have ended unpleasantly due to Ah Jie’s mistake. Now seeing Ah Jie’s setback, the bosses felt he deserved it.

Of course, none of them were schadenfreude. At most, they treated it like watching a spectacle, watching Ah Jie fret, and then let the matter slide.

Everyone continued to fish.

But they found that after Ah Jie caught that Spring Fish, the fish that everyone else started catching were also Spring Fish, not Yellow croaker.

This baffled everyone.

"Hey, what’s going on? How did this kind of fake Yellow croaker suddenly replace the real one?"

"Yeah, although these two fish are very similar and there’s not much difference when catching them, the feeling is completely different."

After catching several Spring Fish in a row, everyone couldn’t help but feel helpless. But since everyone had already caught Yellow croaker, they weren’t too unhappy.

Fishing is all about being content with what you get.

Lin Yang had already noticed the change, too: apart from catching two Yellow croaker at the beginning, the next three consecutive catches were all Spring Fish. This showed that the fish below had indeed changed.
