The Top Fishing
Chapter 59 - 58: Burst Protection Ashore

Chapter 59: Chapter 58: Burst Protection Ashore

As soon as the viewers in the live room heard it, they basically understood immediately.

"I see now, use scatter shot when the fish bite is fast and aggressive, and use wet scatter bowling balls for slow, slippery bites, right? Is that the correct understanding?"

"The host explains it well, I’ve learned some new practical tips."

"Does the host take on disciples? I want to be your apprentice, you explain so well, not like those fake masters who just brag and sell products when they stream, sharing no useful fishing techniques at all."

Looking at the barrage of comments flooding the live room, Lin Yang felt pretty good, feeling respected and admired by others.

But he wasn’t at all interested in this so-called taking disciples and apprenticeships.

So he shook his head and said, "I don’t take disciples, it’s better if we just become friends if we know each other. I think fishing is just an outdoor sport, other than those of us in the industry who rely on this line of work to support our families, others shouldn’t be too involved with the materialistic aspects."

"A lot of experts have their cliques and think their techniques should not be easily taught to others, but I won’t do that. I believe that only when the whole community atmosphere is good, can ordinary players benefit, so I am willing to share what I know with everyone for free."

’Air Force Commander’ sent out a rocket and said, "Broad-minded, well spoken, big praise!"

’Can’t Fish Empty-Handed’ sent out 13 beers and said, "No more words needed, just for the host’s speech, I’ll clear out all the loose change in my pocket today."

’Little Cat Loves Fishing’ sent out 99 lollipops and said, "The gift is not much, just consider it a token tuition fee."

....

A heartfelt speech quickly resonated in the live room, and with a few passionate viewers setting an example, many sent small gifts.

Although most were inexpensive small gifts, it still looked spectacular.

With more than a thousand people in the live room, a large part were moved and started to give gifts as well.

The donation list in the live room soared with people giving gifts, from ten people to thirty people... fifty people, and quickly the viewers sending small gifts dominated the rankings.

This was the first time Lin Yang had encountered so many viewers sending small gifts in the live room, and he was quite touched momentarily.

"Thank you all for the small gifts. Let’s do this, I will also put some heart into it and hold ten draws for everyone, the prizes will be the Carp version wine rice I used today. As usual, free shipping to your home. Thanks again, everyone."

After setting up the system lottery, he selected apply.

An animated heart sticker for the lottery appeared a bit down from the top-left corner of the live room, which viewers could click on to enter the draw.

"Haha, the host is really sincere, but there’s still an issue you haven’t finished explaining. We were interrupted just now. Can you talk about the other points? I just want to know how you managed to draw the fish up to the surface today?"

"Yeah, that was really cool, I also fish in commercial ponds and have caught over a hundred pounds at an edge spot before. I have also seen many people’s rods break because they couldn’t handle the fish, but it’s my first time seeing someone draw the fish up to the surface. Please share with us."

Lin Yang nodded, "Actually, before the fish rose up, I wasn’t sure it would happen. Just now the old man next to us threw a bag of bait, right? I was a bit annoyed and adjusted the dry scatter bait before I started bombarding the spot."

"As I said earlier, the smaller the water ratio of the bait, the faster it will disperse. After I adjusted the bait with lighter bran to absorb the water, the bait became drier, and upon hitting the water, it exploded out rapidly, shedding before even reaching the middle layer!"

"This fishing method is really not suitable for most commercial ponds, and I only used it because I had prepared enough bait before starting to fish and got a bit irritated after my fishing spot was ruined, so I acted impulsively."

"Looking back now, the reason for today’s aggressive fish behavior was largely due to serendipity. You shouldn’t take a special case as the truth. When it comes to actual fishing, it’s still best to be steadfast and careful."

"Those who observed carefully may have noticed that to increase the baiting volume, I combined rubber band pellets with scatter shot. If you’re new to the dry scatter bait technique and not very skilled, you might want to try this, as it has a much higher margin for error."

"One last point, I suspect the reason we were able to draw the Carp to the surface may have to do with their origins. Some fish farms have started stocking float-feeding expanded pellets, and these fish have grown accustomed to feeding at the surface. Their habits might have changed, and when it met our mass baiting with dry scatters, they were drawn up."

"Alright, we’ve been fishing for almost three hours now, and the fish bites around the fishing grounds have mostly stopped. Going after the elusive fish left behind is not worth it, so I’ll livestream selling the fish and then end the stream."

After greeting the viewers in the live room, Lin Yang stood up and called out towards the door of the shack by the entrance: "Boss, selling the fish!"

Hearing the call, Wang Jian Country immediately came out from inside.

Lin Yang waved to him, and he approached carrying a large plastic basket meant for weighing the catch.

"Ending so soon? Don’t you want to play for a bit longer?" Wang Jian Country asked politely.

Lin Yang shook his head and smiled, "The bites have basically stopped, and most of the new fish have surfaced. It’s not worth it to wait for just a few more. The fish quality in our pond is not bad."

"That’s for sure, the best fish on the market. How was your catch today? A friend is looking for me, so I haven’t been paying much attention to the situation in the pit. Old Yu didn’t bother you, did he?"

As he said this, Wang Jian Country turned his head to glance at Yu Yitong, who was sitting straight nearby.

Lin Yang shook his head without saying much, "No worries, it’s been good."

"How many fish have you caught? I’ll help you weigh them." While talking, Wang Jian Country bent down to pick up the fish net, but even with tensed muscles, he couldn’t lift it with one hand.

"Damn, is it stuck on a root or something at the bottom? I can’t lift it!" Wang Jian Country said, frowning.

Lin Yang: "It shouldn’t be like that. The fish are quite numerous; I think if I give you a hand, we should be able to pull it up."

"Haha, brother, you really have a sense of humor. The best anglers at our pit can, at most, catch fifty to sixty pounds of fish. I’ve been running this place for two years now and have never come across a fishing net that we couldn’t lift. Don’t joke with me; it must have gotten snagged at the bottom. We also dare not pull too hard, fearing we might damage the net."

Lin Yang also smiled: "Let’s give it a try together. Today has been a continuous catch for an hour. If we can’t pull it up together, then we’ll consider the possibility it’s snagged."

"Sure, let’s give it a shot, both of us together."

The two big guys, bent down, each took hold of a handle on the side of the fish net and pulled together.

As the net started moving, Wang Jian Country’s expression changed. The young man wasn’t joking with him; he had really caught a lot of fish!

When the net was hauled to the shore, the 40 caliber competitive hanging rubber fish net, Lin Yang had caught more than one grid full. Spread out on the ground, there was a huge pile of fish.

"This is..." Wang Jian Country stared at the large pile of fish brought up, somewhat in disbelief.

"Hehe, I told you that I caught quite a lot today."

"Impressive, your fishing skills are truly good! With so many fish, you’ve definitely broken the record of our fishing ground. Come on, let’s carry it over to the air bladder, and I’ll weigh it for you."

"Alright."

The two men placed the fish net into a plastic basket and then carried the large plastic basket to a mobile room next to an oxygenated air bladder, directly onto the electronic scale.

"104.6! Rounded up, that’s 105 pounds!" Wang Jian Country said cheerfully.

Lin Yang, holding his phone, adjusted the camera to give a close-up of the fish catch and the scale reading, then said, "Alright, I’m reporting today’s final result to everyone, 105 pounds! Successfully landed with a twist."

"After selling the fish, I’ll end the live broadcast. If you missed today’s live tutorial, you can check out the video updates later. I will edit the highlights into the video, and I hope you all comment and follow a lot."

"Broadcast over, see you next time."

After ending the live broadcast, Lin Yang said with a grin: "Hehe, sorry boss, I accidentally caught a bit too much."

Wang Jian Country glanced at him and said earnestly, "Haha, no problem. Are you worried that I’d mind you catching too much? Don’t be. If I dare run a buffet, I don’t fear the big eaters. Likewise, if I dare run a fishing ground, I’m not afraid of you catching too much. I’m different from other owners who charge for pond fishing; the more you catch, the happier I am! By the way, what do you do for work, young man? Let me take a couple of photos of your catch and post them in our WeChat group."

"Haha, I’m just a newbie fishing streamer, hoping to sell a little rice wine. If there’s a chance, I’d appreciate Brother Wang helping to promote it."

"You’re a fishing streamer, then? No wonder you could catch so much fish. Wait a moment, I’ll add you to our WeChat group. This live advertisement once sent out will surely gain you a lot of followers."

"That works. Thanks in advance, Brother Wang."

"No big deal. Stand here and let me take a picture of you. There are over five hundred people in our WeChat group."

"Sure."

Lin Yang agreed, squatting next to the catch, as the pit boss took a clear photo of them together, also recording a full twenty-second weighing video.

In the frame, the 105-pound catch filled a large basket brimming to the top.

Once the group photo and weighing video were posted to the Dongyang Fishing Ground’s WeChat group, the anglers went absolutely wild.

"Brother Jian Guo, did someone really catch over a hundred pounds of fish?"

"Good gracious, how many pounds did we stock today that someone caught over a hundred?"

"Six hundred pounds, and one person alone caught 105, nearly one-sixth of it. That’s really impressive."

"Brother Jian Guo isn’t playing tricks on us like those other bosses, is he? How can one person catch that much? It’s not like they combined several people’s catches to make a spectacle and deceive us, right?"

"The person above doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Don’t you know what kind of person Brother Jian Guo is? He never lies. It’s just that this young guy seems unfamiliar. Is he from out of town?"

Wang Jian Country: "Today’s record-breaking single catch at our Dongyang Fishing Ground was made by Lin Yang, comrade Xiao Yang!"

"Xiao Yang is from our neighboring Qingyang Town, his skills are top-notch. Today’s catch was witnessed by over twenty anglers from the pond, and lying is for dogs."

The next second.

’Xiao Yang fishing’ was invited by group owner Wang Jian Country into the chat group.

Xiao Yang: "Hello brothers in the group, new here, please take care of me."

Fish Hawk: "@Xiao Yang fishing, bro, what awesome bait did you use?"

Stay True: "@Xiao Yang fishing, dude, do you have any bait recommendations? Preferably the same kind you used to explode the net."
