Chapter 440: Chapter 209: Continuous Fishing_4

Fishing in a large lake area is just like that; once you discover that the fish situation at a particular spot is not good, you must quickly change spots, or else you’re simply wasting time.

During the recent period of time, the captain has been closely watching Lin Yang’s fishing performance.

An avid angler himself, he has a special fondness for Big Mouth Bass, but it was the first time he had seen someone use lures in such a way.

His choice of lure was obviously on the smaller side, not to mention a fine line assembly to begin with, and the earlier spot clearly had underwater structure, which was why he got snagged on the bottom on the first cast.

Yet, without any instruments, how did Lin Yang identify that spot with just his naked eye?

The captain recorded the coordinates of the spot, but couldn’t figure out the principle behind it.

As he headed towards the next predetermined spot, not long after the boat had set off, Lin Yang called out to him to stop the boat again.

This time, Lin Yang had found another area teeming with fish activity.

This time he was smarter; abandoning the bottom-bouncing search, after determining the approximate water depth on the first cast, he began manipulating the lure in the mid and lower mid-water layers.

Sure enough, he quickly hooked another fish.

Catching three Big Mouth Bass in such a short span was hard for people to accept, but this was far from Lin Yang’s limit.

At the new spot, he caught another Big Mouth Bass.

However, this one was quite a bit smaller; Lin Yang pulled the fish in to measure it, shook his head, and released it back into the water, "What a pity, another small one, this one doesn’t meet the length requirement either."

"Whoa, the host caught another fish, that was quick; this is already the third Big Mouth Bass,"

"If it’s not big enough, could there be some overlooked detail like the water depth or position, which might affect the size of the fish?"

"Are adult Big Mouth Bass really that rare, with the host fishing out three and two of them not meeting the standards? That’s less than a fifty percent success rate."

Though the speaker meant no harm, the listener paid close attention; the discussions of the live stream viewers sparked an insight in Lin Yang’s mind.

The two smaller Big Mouth Bass were both caught at higher water levels while his first, bigger one and the one Wang Feng caught, though not at the very bottom, were at locations with a clearly deeper water depth.

Taking the domestic pole-fishing Crucian Carps as an example, those that chase the mid-layer or even surface of the water tend to be the smaller ones; the bigger they are, the lesser they rise.

If this pattern could be applied to Big Mouth Bass, would it have some referential significance?

Besides, could the speed with which one pursues a target automatically filter out the size of the Big Mouth Bass?

Faster reeling might not catch the big fish, thus naturally increasing the chances of hooking a small-sized Big Mouth Bass, as, within the same species of fish, the larger the size, the slower the swimming speed; this is an objective rule.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yang made slight adjustments to the fishing depth and the speed of the reel again.

About two and a half meters water depth, controlling the lure’s position at around two meters and slightly slowing down the speed of reeling were his trials.

With much fear in tinkering, after making targeted slight adjustments, he soon really hooked another fish again.

This time, the force from underwater was noticeably larger than previous smaller fish, and after two bouts, he pulled it out of the water. Indeed, it was another sizable Big Mouth Bass.

The continuous catching of Big Mouth Bass left the captain dumbfounded.

Only one recorded spot had been visited on the equipment aboard, yet the two of them had continuingly caught five Big Mouth Bass by now, with three meeting the competition requirements, the speed of landing fish was terrifying.
