Chapter 381: Chapter 193: Marlin

When Lin Yang spotted a big fish, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

He immediately threw the sardine bait into the sea in that direction. As the little fish hit the water and began to swim rapidly, the big fish soon noticed the presence of the little sardine.

It accelerated, and in an instant, a huge figure lunged over.

Seeing its speed, Lin Yang exclaimed, "Oh man, could it be a marlin?"

"No, a usual marlin isn’t this big..." Sensing the size of the big fish, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself again.

But the fish didn’t give him time to react; although it wasn’t a marlin, it had a marlin’s speed and instantly swallowed the sardine.

"Oh shoot!"

Though it wasn’t the target marlin, and Lin Yang still didn’t know what it was, now that it was in its mouth, he wasn’t going to let it go.

He immediately lifted the rod, then felt a tremendous force, almost monstrous, coming from the other end of the rod.

The drastic difference in strength nearly pulled Lin Yang into the sea. Fortunately, he was prepared. He lifted one foot and grasped the fishing rod tightly with both hands, while placing a foot on the yacht’s railing.

The yacht was exceptionally sturdy, the railing included, made of very good quality steel. Still, he ended up causing the railing to shake a bit. The force was mutual; Lin Yang on one side felt this enormous strength and the big fish underwater also felt his immense power.

A man and fish struggled.

Then, a drone in the sky captured footage about 30 meters away, where suddenly, a huge marlin with a black back leapt out of the water!

And then it fell back into the sea with a heavy crash.

Bang!

The tremendous force caused a massive splash of water.

"Oh wow, what a big fish."

"What kind of fish is this? So majestic."

"Such a big fish, can someone give a grand introduction, what fish is this?"

"Looks like a swordfish."

"Is there a swordfish this big? It must be a marlin."

When the big fish crashed into the sea, not only did Wang Feng and others here react, but also people in the live stream room, who then started shouting.

Many people knew the marlin, but few had seen it because this fish rarely appeared in aquariums, and there were few alive.

This fish, like most sharks, needs to keep swimming to breathe. If it stops, it’s finished, but most people have heard of it.

That’s because this fish appeared in a very famous classic, "The Old Man and the Sea." Back in junior and senior high school, when people were made to read classics, many probably read about it.

That fish was the same one that the old man, who hadn’t caught a fish for 83 days, eventually caught. Unbelievably, today it ended up being caught by Lin Yang.

"Should we cut the line? This fish is too big. When it jumped just now, I got a good look, it must be several hundred pounds. Lin Yang, buddy, I’m afraid your fishing rod might not hold up..."

Wang Feng, who hadn’t caught any fish himself yet, immediately came over and asked Lin Yang.

"No big deal, no need to cut, my rod and line can still hold up," Lin Yang responded with a smile after hearing Wang Feng’s words.

Sure enough, upon hearing his response, Wang Feng then looked at Lin Yang’s state.

Normally, when dealing with such a big fish, anglers dare not hold the fishing rod upright; typically, anglers bow down continuously, the rod rising and falling, and they also have to release tension. Such a big fish could be handled by some fishing lines, but the rod definitely couldn’t withstand it.

But when Wang Feng looked at Lin Yang’s rod, he found no signs of it cracking or struggling to support the weight.

Although he used the same type of rod as Lin Yang, he had never caught a very big sea fish before, so he didn’t know the amazing part of this fishing rod.

Lin Yang’s rod, like most sea rods, wasn’t very thick, nor was the line particularly thick. Logically, with a sea fish weighing several hundred pounds, both the rod and line should have broken already, but now they were holding up just fine.

And Lin Yang wasn’t even releasing much tension now, and was still playing tug-of-war with the fish in the sea.

"You can’t be faking it, right? You really aren’t exerting much effort?" Seeing Lin Yang’s arms, which seemed even thicker than usual, Wang Feng asked incredulously.

"Want to give it a try?" Seeing Wang Feng’s expression, Lin Yang chuckled and suggested.

"Let’s try." Seeing Lin Yang could still talk to him, Wang Feng wanted to try as well, considering he might never catch such a big marlin in his lifetime.

Then, Lin Yang handed the fishing rod to him, but he didn’t let go completely, because if the rod wasn’t in his own hands, the line and rod buff would disappear. Although the quality of the rod could handle the big marlin without any problems, Wang Feng definitely couldn’t handle it on his own.

Indeed, the moment Wang Feng took the rod, he felt the tremendous power of the marlin in the sea; he was shaken by it and nearly fell overboard.

But fortunately, Lin Yang had anticipated this and caught Wang Feng with one hand holding the rod and the other grabbing him, pulling him back in.
