Chapter 737: Chapter 308: Connect With the Behemoth_2

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Yang to hand over the precious Thai Tiger Fish for nothing. Even if he was to be charitable, he would prefer to do that within his own country.

"Alright," Lin Yang nodded.

Smuggling was always illegal and could potentially trap him; by selling the fish directly now, he could extricate himself.

Although the profit was less, the absence of risk was a plus. The fish’s appearance was an unexpected bonus; after all, why turn down something that’s been delivered right to you?

The guide then murmured to the boatman Uncle, who took out his phone and started operating it.

"Uncle has transferred the money to me; shall I give him the fish and transfer the money to you?"

"Sure!"

Money exchanged hands as the goods were delivered, completing the transaction.

After the deal was closed, the boatman Uncle hurriedly steered the fishing boat back, showing that, in his eyes, the valuable Thai Tiger Fish was far more important than hosting Lin Yang and his companions.

"Guide, we still want to fish. We’ve paid the money; you can’t just send us back now, right? How about this: we all know how to handle a boat. Let Uncle take care of his fish, and we’ll take the boat out fishing ourselves. We’ll return when our time is up, okay?"

There are always more solutions than problems, if only you’re willing to find them.

"Gibberish..."

Taking someone’s money to carry out their tasks, the guide and the boatman conversed, and after seeing the live well with the Tiger Fish, and then looking at Lin Yang and the others, the boatman Uncle pondered for a moment and nodded.

Boatman Uncle left in a hurry with the Thai Tiger Fish, while the group proceeded to the original spot where they had caught the Thai Tiger Fish.

If luck was on their side and they caught another Thai Tiger Fish, wouldn’t that be absolutely terrific!

"Ratatat..."

"Bang bang bang..."

In the roar of the propellers, there seemed to be strange sounds coming from afar, as if someone were setting off fireworks and cannons.

After sporadically echoing for a while, the sounds died down, never to reappear. Lin Yang and his group did not pay too much attention and stopped the fishing boat at the mouth of the original river to continue fishing.

"Whoosh~"

He swung his rod, casting the hook with the bait into the small stream.

Lin Yang had watched plenty of fishing videos on TikTok; those inconspicuous streams could still hide big fish.

Moreover, with various buffs on him, the fish might bite at any time. Lin Yang was ready, holding the fishing rod to prevent it from being dragged away by the fish.

Thirty to forty seconds after the bait hit the water, a sudden intense tugging was felt through the fishing rod up to his hands!

The force was unparalleled for the day!

Even the fishing boat beneath their feet rocked a bit after this tug.

And not far from where Lin Yang’s bait hit the water, a fountain burst forth with a splash, and a huge, muddy yellow tail broke the surface and violently slapped down on the water.

Too bad the boatman was busy attending to his beloved Tiger Fish and the guide was unfamiliar with the area, so no one recognized what kind of fish it was.

But based on Lin Yang’s fishing experience, it looked like a Catfish, although its size seemed exaggerated!

What followed was a back-and-forth struggle. The fish on the hook stirred up chaos in the small stream, turning the already murky water murkier.

If it were one of the rods provided by the boatman, or if the angler was less experienced, this big fish’s thrashing might have led to a broken rod, snapped line, and the fish getting away.

Unfortunately, the angler was Lin Yang, and his equipment was high-performance. No matter how much the big fish struggled, it could not escape its fate of being gradually pulled in.

Half an hour later, a plump big fish was reeled in beside the boat by Lin Yang.

By the looks of it, it was indeed a Catfish, exceedingly fat yet slightly repulsive to look at.

"Tch tch tch, even foreign Catfish grow this big! Ah, why can’t I ever catch one, only small fish and shrimp," Li Xiaopeng was green with envy watching Lin Yang reel in yet another big fish.

"It’s big, but it looks disgusting," Yue’er shuddered at the sight of the Catfish.

Lin Yang also found it a bit revolting.

But as disgusting as it was, the fish still had to be dealt with. If he wanted the reward, he had to figure out how to get the fish aboard. The big Catfish was probably over two meters long, and Lin Yang felt he should be able to pull it up, though he wasn’t sure if the fishing boat beneath his feet could handle it.

"Hey, could you guys move to that side? I’ll see if I can get the fish up," he suggested.

Everyone cooperatively moved to the other side of the boat, and Lin Yang’s side understandably tilted up.

Then he plunged his hands into the gills of the exhausted big Catfish.

"Hey!"

Gathering his strength, he heaved mightily, and the big Catfish... hardly budged.

The fish must be conservatively estimated at two to three hundred pounds!

Little guy, you’re not unmanageable, are you?

Lin Yang composed himself and mustered all his strength once more.

"Ha!"

This time the big Catfish was hoisted, and with a heave, it landed on the deck of the boat.

"Successful catch of a Mekong River giant Catfish..."

The reward was unremarkable, somewhat disappointing, but it was still a big fish. Everyone, one after another, came up to take a photo with it.

Even the guide was no exception; these were great materials! Once he sorted them out and made a promotional video when back home, he could expand his business even more.
