Chapter 71: Chapter 070: Treat to a Drink

"Did the broadcaster come late today? This spot doesn’t seem as good as the last one."

"I also feel it, the middle waist and the big edge opposite caught fish early on, the broadcaster on this side clearly had a later catch."

Lin Yang nodded, "Indeed, the brother who helped to hold the spot came late and didn’t get a good position, but we should have close to a hundred kilograms of fish now, having fulfilled the promise made before starting to fish satisfactorily. Does anyone have any other questions?"

"Broadcaster, I often fish at Black Pond too, can you teach us how to choose fishing spots in these stocked black pits?"

"The question from upstairs is a good one, broadcaster, please talk about this."

"I want to know too...."

Lin Yang: "Alright, then I’ll teach everyone how to select a fishing position."

"Choosing a fishing position seems complicated, but actually, many times there are clues to follow, taking the fishing ground I am at now as an example."

"This fishing ground is actually a section of a river that has been blocked off, roughly shaped like a trapezoid. How do we choose fishing positions in such an irregular fishing ground? Let me give everyone a few principles to refer to."

"Firstly, farmed fish are different from wild fish. When they enter a strange water area, the fish prefer to stay in shallower spots, so everyone just needs to choose a fishing spot with slightly shallower water."

"Next, let’s talk about the situation after the farmed fish are released. No matter what kind of pond, the first reaction of new fish entering the water is definitely to rush to the opposite side."

"At present, fish are unloaded from the north bank of this fishing ground, so after the fish enter the water, they will head for the nets on the side of the river channel first. With a net to block them, it’s impossible for them to break through, so they will be stopped and scatter to both sides."

"Here comes the key point! In our northern hemisphere, the direction of the fish’s patrol is counterclockwise! This also means, taking my fishing ground as an example, the corner of the net on the southeast side, with shallow water level and the right direction, all factors combined, is definitely the premier Emperor spot."

"By comparison, the big edge spot in the southwest corner is somewhat inferior, but after the fish enter the water, they patrol along the shore of the pond quickly, so there’s no worry about not having fish to catch."

"Listening to me, it might seem rather profound, but actually, it’s very simple. Pay attention to the few points I’m about to mention, and you’ll mostly know how to select a position."

"As the old saying goes, ’long rods for the waist, short rods for the corners’—most of these have guiding significance."

"For a typical pond, it’s generally better to choose big edge spots, middle waists, or places near the aerators. I don’t need to explain the big edge spots; especially in the spring, they’re particularly prone to attracting fish."

"Middle waists and corners are the routes that fish must travel when patrolling the pond, so you have more chances when fishing at these spots."

"As for the aerator, it’s a type of floating obstacle on the water; the fish like to hide underneath, and the water near the aerator is cleaner. After using it for a while, a shallow pit will form, and fish also like to stay in such places."

"Wow wow wow, I learned a lot, all practical knowledge, not only the conclusions but also the explanations for the reasons, thumbs up."

"The broadcaster really knows a lot."

"So there’s so much to learn about Black Pond fishing, I used to think having hands was enough."

"God, thinking just having hands is enough, haven’t you seen that the grass over the grave of the last person who boasted that big is already over two meters tall."

After sharing the knowledge, Lin Yang glanced at the time; it was already half-past nine.

He tried a few more casts in his spot, but with no action. Without thinking, he estimated that the catch for today was about as much as it would get.

"Now the fish in the pond have stopped biting; it seems that most of the newly stocked fish have been caught. Now I will live stream the selling of the fish, and then I’ll end the broadcast."

After speaking with the viewers, Lin Yang stood up and shouted, "Brother Wang, sell the fish!"

At the cry of selling fish, all the people around the pond looked his way.

They all knew that Lin Yang had started fishing late, but he had been continuously catching fish; they were curious to know how much he had caught today.

Hearing Lin Yang’s call, Wang Jian Country strode out of the shack, "Ending the fishing already? How was today’s catch?"

Lin Yang smiled and replied, "Not as good as before, didn’t catch as many as last time."

After hearing this, Wang Jian Country squatted down to pull up the fish keepnet and then gave him an annoyed look, "Not ideal? You actually want to catch 200 pounds?"

Lin Yang sheepishly laughed, "Haha, just kidding. Let’s work together and pull the fish up!"

The two exerted their strength together and managed to pull the fish up.

As the keepnet emerged from the water, a chorus of gasps arose from the spectators around the fishing ground.

Based on today’s average catch per angler, it was already considered a decent standard if a common angler could catch five or six, maybe seven or eight fish.

But there was Lin Yang, once again, with his large keepnet filled to the brim in the bottom section. Once he laid it out on the shore, a staggering pile of fish was revealed, delivering a truly impactful visual shock.

"Good grief, the guy across the pond caught so many fish; that’s got to be around eighty or ninety pounds!"

"Probably more than eighty pounds. Last time it was him who broke the record, catching over a hundred pounds."

"I bought the rice wine bait from his livestream. Although I didn’t catch as much, it feels really handy and works well."

"Looks like he’s set to take the prize again today. Let’s go over and check the weighing. We’ll see the final result."

Soon, a large crowd gathered around Lin Yang’s spot, some asking about the bait, others wanting his WeChat contact, and still others asking fishing questions—it was clear he had become completely popular at Dongyang Fishing Ground.

A group of people helped carry his catch to the cage, and without Lin Yang having to lift a finger, they hustled around and carried the fish to the electronic scale for weighing.

pounds!

That was another number close to a hundred. Even seventeen pounds would rank mid to upper level among the thirty-something anglers.

"See, not as much as last time," Lin Yang said with a smile to Wang Jian Country.

Wang Jian Country checked the time; it was around ten minutes until ten o’clock, and he turned to everyone and said, "Is there any brother who thinks he has caught more? If not, this prize money goes to Xiao Yang early!"

Of course, there was no answer. While everyone else was plodding barefoot, Lin Yang just drove in with a Ferrari. Nobody could catch up with that.

Here you go, today’s prize money is 200 yuan, plus your refund from return fish, making a total of 461. I’ll skip the odd one yuan; count the rest," Wang Jian Country said, matter-of-fact, as he handed the money to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang wasn’t pretentious, accepted the money, and then took out a hundred yuan, "Isn’t there soda in the room? Since I won the prize money today, I’ll treat everyone to a drink. One bottle per person, my treat."

Brother Jian Guo nodded, took the money and announced, "That’s settled! Attention everyone, Xiao Yang the Boss is treating us to drinks; everyone gets one!"

Originally, some people were jealous of Lin Yang winning the prize money, but seeing how generously he was spending it on drinks for everyone, their impression of him improved significantly.

When the conversation revealed that Lin Yang also sold his rice wine bait, the impression improved even more, and many passersby gave Lin Yang a follow, and some even placed immediate orders for his rice wine bait.

In just a few minutes, Lin Yang’s livestream sold over a dozen orders of rice wine bait; those hundred yuan were spent very wisely.

Before long, the viewers in the livestream saw the owner of the fishing ground distributing a large box of drinks to the anglers, and they all expressed their envy.

"The host is really generous; a drink for each person costs over a hundred."

"I want a drink offered by the host, too."

"I think the host made a profit on this one...."

After the fish weighing was over, Lin Yang didn’t chat with the viewers anymore; he simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, the fish weighing segment has ended. That’s it for today’s live broadcast, see you next time."
