568: Chapter 555: Silver Dragon Trail 568: Chapter 555: Silver Dragon Trail This one isn’t the biggest among its peers, but a two-to-three-pound piranha still looks rather intimidating.
“Oh my god, isn’t that the Black Purple Orchid?
Such a big one would cost tens of thousands in China!”
“This must be the black piranha that bit off the captain’s finger!
So beautiful and so dominant!”
“Such a big piranha, if you kept it in your living room, how impressive would that be when friends co over!
It’s much better than those gold dragons, silver dragons, or koi!”
“ 1 to the above, Brother Feng, try to bring it back to China, one fish could reimburse round-trip plane tickets!”
Yue Feng shook his head, “When entering the country, the control over these dangerous foreign species is very stringent!
This big guy is indeed dominant, but if it ends up in our hands, there’s only one fate, turn it into dinner!
At the mont, we don’t have the capability to bring such live creatures back to our country, whether it’s quarantine or other relevant procedures, it’s all very difficult!”
“Oh, that’s such a sha!”
“Such an aweso fish, filming it for a segnt at dinner for the bros will definitely make it trending, this is the legendary fish species!”
“Didn’t the stead fish at noon already impress the Amazon locals?
Since we can’t bring it back, let’s handle it well,
be it sauerkraut fish, braised fish, scallion-stewed fish, anything that can be stir-fried, braised, or fried, let’s do it all, let them see the profound greatness of our Chinese cuisine!”
Yue Feng smiled, “Haha, that sounds good, we have sauerkraut with us, and that’s what we’ll do, sauerkraut fish tonight!”
While Yue Feng was discussing with the live stream viewers how to deal with this big black piranha, Captain Fabio suddenly started the boat and continued upstream.
“Zhou Jie, what’s going on?” Yue Feng asked casually.
Zhou Jie, “It must be that Fabio saw so splashing from the fish upstream; Brother Feng, pay attention to keeping your balance and stand firm!”
The fishing boat moved about fifty ters against the current before Fabio stopped it again, pointing at the water surface so twenty to thirty ters away for Yue Feng to see.
Sitting in the boat, looking out, the water surface was a blinding reflection and nothing particular stood out.
Yue Feng stood up, used his hand to shield his eyes and stared intently for a while, quickly noticing sothing different in the water.
It seed like there were ribbon-like creatures darting under the water, and there was more than one.
Their movents felt like the frozen ribbon fish bought during the New Year celebrations back when he was a child.
“Brother Feng, Fabio says he’s spotted a school of Silver Dragon Fish!” Zhou Jie hurriedly inford Yue Feng.
Yue Feng raised the drone, adjusted the angle, and gave a bird’s-eye view.
The next second, the Silver Dragon Fish swimming in the water appeared in everyone’s view.
Calling it a school is a bit of an exaggeration, but there were four or five in the fra, dense enough!
“Brothers, see the Silver Dragon Fish?
Let’s try to catch one!” Yue Feng called out, targeting the area near where the Silver Dragon Fish were, he cast the Lure Rod, there he goes!
The mont the blade hit the water, Yue Feng regretted it!
Damn, I forgot that the water here is rather shallow and clear!
The Lure bait’s landing was extrely precise, but as soon as it hit the water, the Silver Dragon Fish, which had been swimming leisurely, were startled and scattered in all directions, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Now Yue Feng felt a bit awkward!
“Ugh, my lack of experience, the water is shallow and the sound of the fake bait hitting the water was a bit loud, seems like I scared the fish!
Let’s try reeling in and see if we can catch that damned thing!”
Yue Feng didn’t shy away from his mistake, openly admitting it before he evenly reeled in the line.
Naturally, even when the lure was pulled up close, there still was no catch.
The first cast had been a miss.
“Zhou Jie, ask Fabio if the Silver Dragon Fish will leave the area if it gets startled?
I just made a mistake with the first cast!”
Zhou Jie asked exactly as told and soon replied, “It won’t go far.
These fish have a sort of territorial concept and will always move around within a certain range!
Especially in faster-moving waters, scatter for a while, and they might quickly return.”
Sure enough, after about four or five minutes, several Silver Dragon Fish reappeared in the area near where they had been marked previously!
This ti Yue Feng was much smarter.
Since the fake bait startled the fish when it hit the water, he simply chose a spot a bit farther away for it to land!
Dragging the bait in front of the fish and pairing it with a few flashy maneuvers, he was certain so fish wouldn’t be capable of resisting the temptation and would attack.
“Haha, the fish really did co back.
Let’s try a different thod this ti!” Yue Feng called out and cast his rod again.
As the water drop wheel started turning, the charming sound of the line buzzing rang out, and monts later, the blade landed about seven or eight ters away from the edge of the fish school.
The fish school reacted to the sound, but since it was from a distance, their alert behavior was minimal, only symbolically swimming a few ters before stabilizing.
Seeing a chance, Yue Feng slowly reeled in the line, keeping the blade at a consistently stable water layer, trying his best not to let it sink to the bottom.
As he got closer to the fish school, Yue Feng’s maneuvers started to get flashy.
A small speed up, a pause, a rapid jerk; he rotated through these subtle bait control tricks, vividly turning the blade into a panicked, slightly dazed little fish with a sowhat clumsy swimming posture.
Such a blatant lure, how could the Silver Dragon Fish resist the temptation!
A silver-white shadow quickly darted over and swallowed the lure in one gulp.
Yue Feng felt the rod tip heavy, and then the line started to unspool rapidly,
he fought to lift the rod and set the hook, yelling, “Go!”
From a drone’s overhead perspective, one could see the whole process, the fish hook lodged in the fish’s mouth caused it to madly dart away in pain.
The sensation of hooking a Silver Dragon Fish was different from that of a Peacock Bass or a Giant Black Piranha.
The latter two types of fish are broader and more robust with better stamina, and their speed isn’t remarkably fast, especially the Giant Black Piranha, which is sowhat slower.
Pulling them in creates a lot of resistance, but they don’t spool line quickly!
But the Silver Dragon Fish was different, its elongated body gave it less water resistance, allowing it to move through the water at an amazing speed.
Especially at the mont it was hooked, the speed soared, the water drop wheel rapidly unspooled line, and by the ti he reacted, it had already gone over twenty ters.
Yue Feng hurriedly increased the drag, which finally managed to stabilize the fish.
As the speed diminished drastically, so did the force being exerted!
Due to its shape affecting its speed, its stamina was significantly less.
After just a few rounds, the Silver Dragon Fish was exhausted, struggling at the surface, unable to escape, Yue Feng harshly pulled it up to his feet.
With other fish, one could only see the action of the line spooling after the fish was hooked; the part where they attack the bait couldn’t be seen.
But it was different for the Silver Dragon Fish, as many angling enthusiasts in the livestream witnessed the entire process, especially the spectacle of the silver figure swiftly attacking the bait, which made everyone’s blood boil.
With the fish controller clamped on the fish’s mouth, Yue Feng imdiately lifted the fish up.
