Chapter 339: Chapter 180: Fishing for Bull Shark_3

It’s not like we’re asking Lin Yang to be the main presenter, just a special guest expert, and his eloquence should qualify him for the role.

"I have no problems here, Old Chen, does the Fishing Association have any objections?" Hearing Xia Xiaoxue say this, the station manager also nodded and then turned to look at an elderly man in the middle, his hair somewhat graying but his complexion still ruddy.

After all, the event is organized by the National Fishing Association, and as the host, the attitude of the Fishing Association is very important.

Listening to the station manager, Old Chen thought for a moment and then nodded: "I’ve heard of Lin Yang more than once, but I can’t vouch for the authenticity of his videos."

Seeing Old Chen’s somewhat skeptical attitude, Xia Xiaoxue continued, "As far as I know, he’s been out at sea fishing these past few days. Just yesterday, I saw him catch a Long Dun of about a hundred pounds. If anyone has doubts about his abilities, we could also take a look at his live broadcasts. I think he’s been broadcasting these last few days...."

On hearing her suggestion, Old Chen didn’t object outright but nodded his head to indicate their willingness to find out more, while the station manager immediately instructed the technical staff to link to Lin Yang’s live broadcast on the projector.

Then, the big screen showed Lin Yang battling a shark, his hands gripping the rod firmly. In front of him, a shark over two meters long was desperately trying to escape and struggle, but no matter how the shark writhed, it couldn’t break free from Lin Yang’s hook and was firmly under his control.

Seeing such a scene right away, the originally quiet conference room suddenly erupted with quite a bit of discussion and exclamations of awe, and even though those present were highly cultivated individuals, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

Old Chen, who had been skeptical, also put on his glasses immediately and watched intently.

Although the shark in the live broadcast wasn’t particularly large, not even as big as some larger sturgeon, the ability to fish for sharks alone is not something every angler has. From his casting, reeling, lifting, and pressing down, each of his actions was clearly demonstrating his top-notch fish playing technique.

During the meeting, people had only watched for a few minutes when the shark in the live stream was almost played out, and seeing this, everyone knew that Lin Yang was about to unlock another achievement.

Having seen Lin Yang about to catch a shark, Old Chen naturally had no more doubts about Lin Yang’s abilities. Seeing him nod, the station manager said to Xia Xiaoxue, "Okay, since Old Chen has no objections now, let’s settle on that. Xiaoxue, you seem to know him quite well, so why don’t you contact him? Whether he agrees or not, give us an update as soon as possible, because it might be troublesome to find someone else later."

Xia Xiaoxue nodded, planning to call Lin Yang right away.

....

Meanwhile, out at sea,

after nearly half an hour of all-out battle, the Bull Shark was played out by Lin Yang and was gradually being pulled closer from a distance. It was getting closer to the yacht, and even the viewers in the live chat could see the shark’s dorsal fin.

At that moment, the force on Lin Yang’s rod was very light because the shark had no more strength left.

For anglers, the most satisfying and longest-fought large sea fish to catch is the Big Sea Bass. Although it tastes quite bad and is mainly caught for sport, it’s undeniable that they have incredible stamina.

Typically, a battle lasting an hour is considered normal.

Aside from them, Marlin, Arrow Fish, Golden Spearfish, and Flagfish are also masters at fighting, and catching them is particularly thrilling. It usually takes at least forty minutes, and the pull is very strong, sometimes even requiring a switch of anglers midway.

As for sharks, despite their large size among fish and ferocious combat strength, they really aren’t up to par. The Bull Shark, having only battled Lin Yang for about thirty minutes, had already started to float up, its belly visible above water.

It’s well known that sharks, an imperfectly evolved species, go into shock when flipped over, ceasing their struggle, and this shark was no exception.

However, only when the shark’s belly was exposed on the surface did everyone see how big it actually was.

The Bull Shark was indeed almost mature, quite sizable, measuring over two meters, close to three. Although the largest Bull Sharks can grow to over four meters, this one was of a normal size.

When Lin Yang pulled it next to the yacht, his live audience during the midday had already broken 20,000. Such numbers hadn’t been seen in a while.

If the platform gave a recommendation at this point, the number of viewers could double without a problem.

Looking at the large shark floating in the water below, Lin Yang found himself in a bind, as they did not have a large enough net to lift it out of the water.

In sea fishing, gaff hooks are more commonly used than nets.

Gaff hooks are similar to landing nets, which are convenient, but they have two downsides: one is the limitation in size—smaller nets are manageable, but larger ones are inconvenient and often let the fish escape.
