Chapter 414: Chapter 202: Boarding Big Swordfish_3

Just as he had finished introducing the basic situation, Wang Feng on the other side had already got a bite.

His fishing rod was pulled with a series of clicking noises, the line crazily unspooling. The struggle was so powerful from such deep water, it gave the impression that the fish on the line wasn’t going to be small.

"How does it feel? How big do you think the fish down there could be?" Lin Yang asked curiously.

Wang Feng adjusted the drag again to steady the rod before answering, "I knocked the bottom and then lifted up, it took the bait about ten meters from the bottom, its strength is not small, it should be a big one."

"Need any help?"

Wang Feng, "Not for now, I’ll try its weight first; we’re live streaming, so let the viewers see the full process of fighting the fish."

"OK."

Lin Yang slightly adjusted the camera angle of the drone, then continued, "As Brother Feng just explained, everyone heard the basic situation. This fish took the bait about ten meters from the bottom, it’s still struggling wildly, and since the fish hasn’t surfaced, it’s unclear what species it is. Let’s watch Brother Feng, the professional angler, fight the fish."

In the previous live broadcasts, most of the footage focused on Lin Yang, and although Wang Feng was a core part of this fishing trip, his presence wasn’t very prominent.

But this time was different, as Lin Yang intended to film him fighting the fish face-to-face. Besides not showing his face directly, everything else that should be captured was, giving him plenty of presence.

Wang Feng didn’t disappoint the viewers in the live stream room, gripping the rod with both hands, always staying alert, skillfully reeling in rhythmically. Although he had only been sea fishing for a few days, his performance was already looking comfortable.

At first, it was assumed that it would take at most ten minutes to reel in the fish, but the fight lasted half an hour.

The creature below had an incredibly exaggerated energy reserve, and just as Wang Feng was sweating from his forehead, he finally managed to pull the fish out of the water.

"Eh? What fish is that, it looks like a spearfish?" His assistant Xiao Zhang shone a flashlight on the catch, saying uncertainly.

Hearing it resembled a spearfish, Lin Yang also leaned over to have a look, "It’s a spearfish, but it’s neither a Yellowfin nor a Bluefin; this type of spearfish is called Big-eyed Gold Spearfish, not a particularly valuable species."

"Big-eyed Gold Spearfish?"

"Right, it looks like a sizeable one; this one should weigh around fifty to sixty pounds."

Soon, Xiao Zhang helped haul the catch onto the boat using a gaff, landing a Big-eyed Gold Spearfish weighing around sixty pounds. This was the second big catch for Wang Feng since he had been out at sea, apart from the Long Dun he caught the day before.

"Look everyone, this is a Big-eyed Gold Spearfish weighing about sixty pounds, which our live stream room has witnessed from start to finish. It’s said that this kind of fish also swims in schools. Later I’ll try bottom-fishing to see if I can encounter more," Lin Yang addressed the viewers.

After greeting the viewers, Lin Yang readjusted the drone camera, then changed the fishing depth. He first located the position on the bottom then pulled up ten meters to find the previous layer of fish.

Ironically, it took less than half a minute after reaching that layer, he felt a tug on the rod, and hooked another fish.

This time too, the speed at which the line was taken was astonishing, and the strength of the fish was tremendous. Lin Yang promptly wedged the rod against his stomach and with both hands, lifted the rod up forcefully.

"Got another one, and it feels like it’s not small," Lin Yang couldn’t help but comment.

Catching big fish one after another, whether the fish got away or were landed, had the viewers in the live stream feeling the excitement; the barrage of comments in the live room slowed, everyone holding their breath, quietly watching Lin Yang fight and reel in the fish.

If he had been using a light tackle setup, Lin Yang might have played more cautiously to prevent the fish slipping away, but now that he had switched to a heavier tackle, it was a different matter: he locked the drag, flung his arms into a series of powerful reels, and with the sheer force of the gear, he quickly pulled the fish out of the water.

This was another Big-eyed Gold Spearfish, which looked to be about fifty pounds, slightly smaller than the one Wang Feng had just caught.

Landing two sizable Big-eyed Gold Spearfish at the same depth, everyone went wild, setting their tackle to fish at that specific level. Soon after, news of bites was heard left and right.

In a little over an hour, the group managed to catch nine Big-eyed Gold Spearfish, the smallest weighing forty-five pounds and the largest over eighty pounds. With five people on the yacht, everyone was either hooking or playing a fish, creating a wonderfully lively scene.

And Lin Yang, with his brutally heavy tackle, reeled in four Big-eyed Gold Spearfish on his own, by that time he was sweating from his brow.

Taking a break, he also said to the camera with a laugh, "Haha, have you guys ever seen a run of small groupers, let alone a run of spearfish? Although Big-eyed Gold Spearfish aren’t considered very valuable, catching so many at once like this could fetch a decent sum if we were to sell them."

"Whoa, that’s just too exaggerated! To catch such big fish in runs," someone from the audience commented.

"Without a comparison, there’s no hurt; just look at those domestic sea fishing streamers, catching three or five small fish and they lose their minds with excitement. But this kind of fishing is too satisfying," another chimed in.

"After watching several days of sea fishing streams, I’m starting to get itchy. Anyone want to join me on a sea fishing trip, so we can enjoy it together?" suggested another viewer.

Lin Yang, "The run earlier was pretty thrilling, but now it seems like the bites have slowed down; not sure if the school has moved on, it’s been more than ten minutes since anyone had a bite."
