Chapter 422: Chapter 204: Breaking the Record_2

"Wow, they’re really playing rough, fixing the rod directly onto the boat’s rail. Aren’t they afraid a huge fish could just snap the rod?"

"The concern from above technically makes sense, but the rod is so thick. How big would a fish have to be to break it?"

"You seldom see rods fixed on the ship’s rail in deep-sea fishing. Doesn’t that take away much of the fun of fishing?"

Lin Yang: "Haha, I only care about fishing techniques and the type and amount of fish caught, not those inexplicable steadfast rules. Everyone has their own way of doing it. In my view, whether it’s loach enthusiasts or lure diehards, as long as the methods aren’t illegal or breaking rules, there’s nothing to criticize. Essentially, there’s no high or low, noble or humble, it all comes down to the catch."

While he was interacting with his online friends, suddenly a clicking sound of the line being taken emerged from the other side of the boat’s rail—someone had hooked a fish.

Lin Yang turned around, and the drone’s camera also temporarily adjusted, soon revealing a fully equipped, dark-skinned middle-aged man in the frame.

Ah Bin was in luck; he had only been jigging for a short while when he hooked a fish. The underwater force was not small. At this moment, it was frantically pulling out line, bending his high-end, custom rainbow-colored jigging rod into a big arch.

"Eh? Is there another person on board? Is this the captain?"

"Must be a friend who just got on the boat? I remember the host only having five people on this yacht. This guy got a fish so quickly, his skills must be pretty good."

"What kind of fish is that? The curve of the rod is so beautiful, and the paint job on the outside is too. Does any guru know the brand and model?"

Lin Yang had already notified Ah Bin at the start of the stream.

He didn’t intend to hide anything, so he readily agreed to appear on camera, thus Lin Yang didn’t provide any privacy either.

True enough, right after hooking the fish, Ah Bin quickly caught the stream viewers’ attention.

Lin Yang: "Hello everyone, this is Ah Bin, a deep-sea angling expert I just met through Brother Feng. Brother Bin is quite famous among anglers in our country, and I believe many viewers already know him. Brother Bin, if it’s alright with you, please say hello to the viewers in front of the camera."

Ah Bin was at a critical moment battling the big fish, and theoretically, he wasn’t in the best position to greet the viewers. However, upon hearing his name mentioned by Lin Yang, he smartly loosened the drag on his reel slightly, allowing the fish to take the line and escape momentarily, freeing up a brief moment to wave at the camera.

Ah Bin: "Hello everyone in front of the camera, I’m Angler Ah Bin. It’s a pleasure to meet you all this way. I’m currently using the jigging method and have hooked a large fish that typically resides in mid to lower water levels. I plan to land this fish in the shortest time possible. Watch my performance."

"Wow, it really is Brother Bin, the top deep-sea angler in the country. I can’t believe he’s on the same yacht as the host."

"Could Brother Bin have hooked a Big Swordfish again? Looking at the bend in the rod, it seems like it’s a good-sized fish."

"The person above, you think Big Swordfish are as common as cabbages in your garden, dream on."

Lin Yang: "Looking at the curve of the rod, the fish is indeed not small. It’s hard to tell what it is just yet. But based on my experience yesterday catching Big Swordfish, it doesn’t resemble that kind; their swimming speed after hooking is much slower. I personally feel it’s similar to the Big-eyed Gold Spearfish I caught last time. It might be that."

He guessed right. After about twenty minutes of head-to-head confrontation, the fish Ah Bin caught, exhausted, emerged from the water.

It was indeed a Big-eyed Gold Spearfish.

Ah Bin: "Hey, not bad, this fish weighs at least 70 pounds, a big treasure."

Faced with his nickname for it, Lin Yang felt a bit uncomfortable, but it didn’t show on his face. He controlled the drone to give a close-up of the fish on the water surface.

Lin Yang, looking at the big fish floating on the water surface, devoid of energy, said, "Haha, I really guessed it right, a pretty large Big-eyed Gold Spearfish. If I’m not mistaken, in the current area where we’re fishing, there should just happen to be a shoal of Big-eyed Gold Spearfish nearby feeding."

Soon, with Xiao Zhang’s help, the big fish was hooked with a gaff and pulled onto the boat. After weighing, it measured 74 pounds, quite a bit heavier than Ah Bin’s own estimate.

Just after weighing the fish, Wang Feng also hooked a fish not far away.

With similar performance to the previous fish, he quickly managed the situation and, in less than ten minutes, pulled on board a Big-eyed Gold Spearfish weighing about 30-40 pounds.

"Lin Yang, mate, looks like we’ve run into another shoal of Big-eyed Gold Spearfish. While the school is still around, why not switch your gear and try for a few?" Wang Feng, worried that Lin Yang might not react in time, even gave him a heads-up.

But Lin Yang simply shook his head, "I already fished for those yesterday. A few more or less won’t make a big difference to our overall catch. You and Brother Bin just keep fishing. I’ll stick with my bottom fishing rig for now; who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky and hook a record-breaker."

Hearing this, Ah Bin was the first to laugh and shake his head, "Records aren’t so easy to break. Over here, one should be a bit more realistic. Big fish aren’t that easy to come by...."

But he hadn’t finished his sentence when the fishing rod in front of Lin Yang suddenly jerked down hard and quickly bounced back, then bent dramatically downward again.
