205: Chapter 205: The Big Thing in the Kiln Pit 205: Chapter 205: The Big Thing in the Kiln Pit “This place I’m talking about has a rich variety of fish species, including silver carp that weigh dozens of pounds, grass carp and carp that weigh twenty to thirty pounds, and even bluefish that range from thirty-five to over one hundred pounds in the pond.
The biggest fish species reported is a one hundred fifty-pound sturgeon!”
“Holy crap!
That diverse?
Are they wild or stocked?
How large is the body of water?
What are the rules?”
Upon hearing about the sizes of the fish, Yue Feng’s heart started beating rapidly.
If he played his cards right, the livestream effects would be explosive!
System tasks and such could be postponed; the ti fra Red Sister provided was now the top priority.
“The fish situation in the Big Fish Pit is quite complex.
I went there last year with a friend, so I know a bit about the basics!
This place is an old clay pit from years ago when they dug out a big pit.
It covers a very large area, about seventy to eighty acres.
Later, they dug down to spring water underneath, and it gradually turned into a large body of water!
According to locals, it hasn’t dried up for fifteen or twenty years!
The big fish in the pit initially ca from stock put into it, but since the pit was never cleared and the water body is quite large, the fish have grown.
Moreover, with intermittent additions of different fish species thereafter, the fish situation has beco relatively complex!
Tomorrow afternoon, they will stock Weishan Lake with 3,000 pounds of carp weighing between ten to thirty pounds, 3,000 pounds of grass carp weighing twenty to forty pounds, and bluefish weighing thirty to forty pounds also totaling 3,000 pounds!
That’s a total of nine thousand pounds of fish.
The amount of fish already in the pit is not small either, at least several tens of thousands of pounds as a base.
It is very common for lines to be secretly cut and hooks to break!
A fish ticket costs 800 dollars, valid for 12 hours.
The buyback price is six dollars per pound for carp, seven for grass carp, and ten for bluefish!
Grass carp are not allowed to be removed; using rods no longer than seven ters with equidistant lines and no slip knots allowed!
Hand-cast bait is permitted before fishing starts, but only particle supplents or bait with a lead skin may be used afterwards!”
After listening to the brief introduction, Yue Feng beca even more excited.
Although the area was slightly large, the size of the fish was very appealing.
It was a pit worth checking out.
“Are you free the day after tomorrow?
How about we go together?”
“I have to oversee a batch of work at the factory, so I don’t have ti.
But Qiangzi should be available; I can have him join you!”
“Great, just send the fishing advertisent, and I’ll ask Qiangzi too.
Let’s go have so fun!”
“Ok!!”
After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng was in high spirits!
This was just like getting a pillow when feeling drowsy.
Perfect timing.
He then called Qiangzi, and after a brief conversation, Ma Boqiang agreed on the spot without any hesitation.
They arranged to leave the afternoon before the fish stocking, spend the night there, and co back after fishing the next day!
Having finalized the fishing plan, Yue Feng quickly got busy.
Fishing is sowhat similar to ancient military operations.
It emphasizes that logistics must precede troops, as well as the alignnt of timing, geographical, and human conditions!
Before actually fishing, prior preparation work is extrely important.
Having confird the destination at the Big Fish Pit, Yue Feng started organizing his gear.
He had rods, a 7.2-ter Giant Que Big Fish Rod capable of handling fish weighing over a hundred pounds.
He also had bait; there was still so leftover Legendary Corn and Big Fish Must Kill bait, enough even for both him and Qiangzi to use.
The major preparations left were twofold: one was the line components and consumables, and the other was bait for attracting fish.
If the fish were freshly stocked in the pit, their physical strength would be much worse compared to wild fish.
Yue Feng glanced through the hook inventory in his store, frowning slightly as he faced the largest hooks and lines.
The largest hooks used by fishern on the market generally range up to size 11 or 12 Ishiyama, sufficient for fishing fish around a dozen or twenty pounds, but dealing with this particular fish situation seed a bit conservative.
In Yue Feng’s opinion, a size 14 or 15 hook would be safer.
The hook was a bit small, and the line set wasn’t heavy enough either.
The thickest line in the store was an 8 main line and a 6 leader line.
It might have been adequate if a slip knot was allowed, but since the fishing rules prohibit the use of slip knots, one could only struggle with the rod and the fish directly, making the setup sowhat insufficient.
Since the store lacked suitable materials, Yue Feng closed the door and began searching through the System Mall.
These basic consumables were generally available in routine restocks, though they were limited in quantity and not openly supplied, they were still sufficient for personal and friend use.
Soon, Yue Feng found the items he needed.
[Sturgeon Blade 1#]: A big fish hook, optimized and improved based on the Ishiyama style.
Made of high-strength titanium alloy with advanced flattening techniques used at critical places, the triangular-shaped hook tip is extrely sharp, making it a great tool for catching big fish!
[War Sturgeon Big Fish Line Set 12# main/9# leader]: This line set is specifically for big fish, divided into main and leader lines, configured in a reasonably matched way, with tensile value over 50% higher than similar products on the market.
A product of the system, bound to be of high quality!
Its only flaw is that it’s sowhat expensive.
A box of sixteen hooks, 10,000 Points.
A 50-ter line set, another 16,000 Points.
In just a few minutes, over 20,000 Points were spent.
Luckily, Yue Feng’s current stable fan base from his live streams, along with the passive increase in Points, just managed to keep his Points balance in check.
Having sorted out the line set, there was only one major item left: the bait!
When aiming to catch big fish, having the right bait is essential.
However, the dietary preferences of big fish differ significantly from smaller ones, and ordinary comrcial baits don’t work well.
Natural and more primitive baits tend to be more reassuring for big fish.
With different approaches to fishing wild big fish and farm-raised fish, Yue Feng prepared two types of baits to accommodate potential scenarios.
First, he opted for the more affordable fernted corn.
Despite its plain appearance, it was very effective for catching big fish.
Yue Feng took so of the Legendary Corn dicinal Wine he had prepared earlier and reprocessed the fernted corn with it, mixing it evenly.
Afterward, it was stored in a large plastic bag for secondary ferntation and set aside for later use.
Besides the corn beans, for farm-raised big fish, large granules of pellets were also a great choice.
These were what externally sourced comrcial fish, despite their size, grew up eating, so it was ingrained in their mory.
The bait pellets were chosen quite casually; Yue Feng selected generic comrcial fish pellets sold in the shop, poured them into a large basin, mildly mixed with so dicinal Wine, and sealed it up to stew until ready to use for fishing.
With all preparations completed, Yue Feng finally felt his anxious heart settle down a bit.
He cald down briefly and then activated the drone equipnt, shooting a short promotional clip.
Broadcast preview: Big Fish Alert, a fierce battle at the Big Fish Pit day after tomorrow morning!
He simply outlined the basic fish situation, fish species, weight, and the basic rules, all within a minute.
However, the comnts and discussions exploded crazily afterward.
His fans went wild upon seeing the preview of Yue Feng’s upcoming live broadcast!
