Chapter 452: Chapter 213: Mutant Big Fish_3

The conclusion that emerged left everyone in shock.

The total length was 104.77 cm, and the net weight was 26.85 pounds.

Lin Yang also reported the situation of the big fish to his livestream viewers, "The weight of this big fish is out now, nearly 105 centimeters, 26.85 pounds, which is roughly equivalent to 24.4 jin. The staff say that this fish might have broken the record for the largest catch in the history of the competition."

"Wow, a Big Mouth Bass over twenty jin?"

"Someone around here introduced fish seedlings for lure fishing, and a normal-sized one is only around one or two jin. More than twenty jin, what concept is that? It basically reaches eight to ten times the normal size."

"I bet the dumbass foreigners who were crowding the host are dumbstruck now, seeing him reel in such a big fish with their own eyes. Their eyeballs must be bloodshot."

....

Although Lin Yang had a considerable knowledge of aquaculture, he couldn’t recognize exactly what variety this mutated Big Mouth Bass was.

However, he wasn’t too concerned about this, as long as there was a reward for catching the big fish.

Perhaps because he caught a kind of fish he had never seen before, the rewards shown in the guide were very appealing—2000 RMB, plus experience and points, as well as a special reward of 0.1% fishery knowledge.

As he had caught more and more species of fish, unlocking special rewards had become exponentially more difficult, and it had been a long time since he had received a special reward.

"Wow, Brother Yang, you are amazing. I just checked with Zhang Lin, and this big fish can also apply for a new world record," Yue’er said excitedly as she approached Lin Yang, who’d been lost in thought on the shore, to report the good news.

Lin Yang smiled and nodded, "That’s great, let’s prepare the materials and apply after the competition ends tomorrow."

Zhang Lin said, "It’s going to be an easy approval this time. I estimate it’ll take at most three to five days to pass the review."

"That quick?"

Zhang Lin nodded, "Yes, very quick, because Brother Yang, you set the record during a competition held by the International Fishing Sports Association. That means there’s already documentation from the event organizers, preliminary qualification reviews, process checks, verifications by relevant personnel, scrutiny of content evidence, and all these steps can be greatly streamlined. Three to five days is actually a high estimate. To speak frankly, if everything goes smoothly, the application could be approved in one day, followed by a day of website announcement just as a formality, and it could be good to go."

"That’s great news," Lin Yang said with a nod.

He had learned about the benefits of breaking the world record for the largest fish with his previous catch of the record-breaking Yellowfin Tuna; although there were no tangible rewards, it highly benefited aspects like personal fishing strength and influence.

"Not only that, Brother Yang, there’s more good news. You guys might just become the first Chinese anglers to win the title in this international freshwater angling competition," Zhang Lin continued.

Wang Feng, standing nearby, couldn’t believe it, "Champion? Isn’t it a bit early to say that? There’s still a day of competition left tomorrow...."

"Personally, I think it’s almost a sure thing now. So far, you’ve caught six regular Big Mouth Bass and one giant Big Mouth Bass, and the total weight is absolutely dominating the leaderboard. Not to mention that a standard Big Mouth Bass weighs only around one jin, even if you catch an exaggerated twenty in two days’ time, that’s just twenty jin, still not as much as your one big catch. Unless the others are equally lucky and catch a similar mutant fish," Zhang Lin explained.

After Zhang Lin’s explanation, Lin Yang and the others instantly understood.

Right, seven fish might not sound like a lot, but it’s the final total weight that counts in this two-day competition. With that in consideration, just fishing casually and as long as their score isn’t disqualified for rule violations, the championship in the freshwater angling category seemed to be firmly in their hands.
