Chapter 420: Chapter 203: Expert Sea Angler _4

"Haha, good luck!"

The difference between the two fish wasn’t huge, but the gap in fishing skills was pretty apparent given that Lin Yang had achieved this result in a short period of time.

After Lin Yang changed spots again, he quickly caught another fish, making the score four to one.

At that moment, Yue’er, without drawing attention, tugged gently at Lin Yang’s clothes.

He turned around and asked, "What’s up?"

"Brother Yang, people came all this way to fish with you. Aren’t you going to let them save some face?" Yue’er couldn’t help but whisper a reminder.

With her reminder, Lin Yang instantly realized, yes, after all, the other party was the current number one in domestic sea fishing; he should let them have some face.

Should he go easy?

Lin Yang quickly made a decision.

After that, he didn’t adjust anything and greatly reduced the frequency of changing spots. After catching a fish, he still cast the lure in a nearby spot, appearing to be trying hard, but he was secretly taking it easy.

While Lin Yang started to slack off, Ah Bin continued to give it his all, and slowly, the difference in the count became smaller as he caught up.

Meanwhile, Lin Yang, while fishing, also kept an eye on the neighboring boat, maintaining a lead of two fish.

An hour later, when the competition ended, the final score was Lin Yang with eight fish, weighing 31 pounds, to Ah Bin’s six fish; Lin Yang won by a landslide.

"Hahaha, Brother Bin, I guessed right, didn’t I? You’ve lost." Wang Feng laughed heartily after the weighing, glancing meaningfully at Lin Yang while he laughed.

Lin Yang also smiled and said, "I just got lucky and managed to win, Brother Bin’s skills are indeed very good, especially those consecutive catches that put quite a bit of pressure on me."

Ah Bin said, "Lin Yang, my bro, you’re a friend worth making. You went easy during the match to make my results look not too shabby."

"Hahaha, so you noticed it long ago." Wang Feng laughed loudly again.

"Lin Yang, my bro, can you tell me why it was easier for you to catch fish?" Ah Bin was straightforward; having lost, he still asked Lin Yang for advice.

Lin Yang pointed at his fishing rod and reel: "After the lure hits the bottom, different materials and conditions below provide slightly different sensations to the rod. If it’s a coral reef or other complex environments below, the likelihood of fish nearby is much lower.

Conversely, if it’s gravel or a harder bottom, the chances of a Grouper being nearby are much greater. To detect these differences, you need to adjust your reel specifically, to make the line feel more sensitive when taut.

Besides, the lure you used was a bit too small. I noticed the fish you caught had swallowed the hook deeply. A thicker line and smaller lure can affect sensitivity and consequently your judgment of the fish."

A simple principle, but to Ah Bin, these few sentences suddenly deepened his understanding of today’s fishing approach.

"Well said, amazing!" Ah Bin sincerely gave Lin Yang a thumbs up.

Lin Yang humbly replied, "It’s not any profound knowledge; it’s just about paying a bit more attention to the details while seat fishing. When I first tried the slow jigging method, it was also a process of gradual exploration."

In fact, he was being modest; he had mastered lure fishing long ago. It was just that he happened to try this method recently.

"Haha, you’re still too modest. Shall we continue fishing for Grouper next?" Ah Bin didn’t dwell on the topic and steered the conversation in a new direction instead.

Lin Yang hesitated briefly before saying, "Grouper can be caught anywhere. If there’s nothing else, I’d like to try my luck again at the spot where we night fished yesterday."

Wang Feng nodded and said, "Alright, then let’s pull anchor and try our luck over there again."

Having decided on the next fishing spot, Ah Bin didn’t return to his own yacht, but instead greeted his captain, and both boats headed to the secret fishing spot they visited the previous night.

As the boat sailed on, with nothing much to do, Wang Feng and Ah Bin went back to the cabin to catch up. Lin Yang didn’t join in, instead staying on deck with Yue’er as they enjoyed the sea breeze and watched the stars.

Yue’er glanced at the cabin, then leaned in and whispered, "Brother Yang, you initially said that Teacher Ah Bin was the country’s leading sea fishing master. It seems though he’s not as good as you."

Lin Yang chuckled softly, "His skills are sound enough; it’s just that the overall level of sea fishing in our country is quite low. Besides, I aim to be the world sea fishing champion; he can’t really compare with me."

"Braggart." Yue’er curled her lip, clearly not believing him.
