570: Chapter 557: The Strange Fish with 20cm Long Teeth 570: Chapter 557: The Strange Fish with 20cm Long Teeth Yes, you saw it right, it indeed was a loose release force!
Why loosen the release force?
Shouldn’t the first reaction of an angler with a wheeled rod upon catching a fish be to tighten the release force to control the fish?
There is a common misconception among ordinary anglers here.
Release force is a double-edged sword.
Adjusting it tighter can, when facing small-to-dium-sized fish, increase the resistance to the line coming out, making it easier to exhaust the prey’s strength and quickly end the battle.
However, adjusting it looser isn’t completely without rit, especially when facing fish that exceed the rod, line, and hook’s limit of resistance.
Loosening the release force a bit at the first mont when hooking a big fish can ensure the hook doesn’t get pulled out.
It allows for making full use of the line in the spool to intelligently and bravely duel with the big fish.
Yue Feng was now using this technique.
Since there were no obstacles around and since he had encountered a big fish, and the blade’s treble hooks were quite small, a hard confrontation could easily lead to problems.
It would be better to give the fish a little space and slowly tussle with it.
The fact proved that Yue Feng’s decision was very wise.
The big fellow he just caught struggled frantically after being hooked, making several desperate sprints in a row to break free from the constraints of the hook.
If the release force had still been tightly locked at this ti, the imnse strength could have easily snapped the line or torn the wound.
The water drop wheel let out line, pulled by the big fish with a rapid clicking sound.
After several fierce initial impacts, Yue Feng then tightened the release force just a bit and slowly started reeling in the line, which was now nearly depleted from the spool.
During the crazy rush of the fish at the bottom of the water just now, its rough silhouette could be seen, the size was at least a ter long,
Hooking such a big fish in the shallow waters with a lure, Yue Feng felt his whole body’s muscles shaking uncontrollably, as the rush of adrenaline left him dazzled and exhilarated.
Just one word, thrilling!
About ten ters of line had been pulled in when the big fish powered up again!
The next second, sothing happened that left everyone in the live broadcast stunned.
A silver big fish over one and a half ters long burst out of the water and leaped into the air, wildly thrashing its gills in front of the high-definition cara.
“Holy shit, it’s a giant Bucktooth fish, this one is huge!” Zhou Jie recognized the species of the fish Yue Feng caught through a fleeting glance.
“What the heck?
Bucktooth?” Yue Feng had never heard of this kind of fish; upon hearing the word “bucktooth,” his first thought was of a girl with braces from his school days.
Zhou Jie: “Yes!
A giant Bucktooth fish!
This trip wasn’t in vain!
This fish must be around one and a half ters, and if we’re lucky, it might set a new record!
I rember the world record for the giant Bucktooth fish is just over one ter forty!
Be careful, brother Feng, this fish is a rare gem, make sure it doesn’t get away!”
Hearing Zhou Jie’s words, Yue Feng naturally beca extrely focused.
He had run into a fish that could break the world record, what kind of luck was that, and during a live broadcast, no less!
anwhile, in the public chat of the live stream, the viewers who hadn’t gone to bed were also in a frenzy, inquiring about what Bucktooth fish were,
They went on Baidu to search, and after viewing images online, everyone beca unsettled.
“Holy shit, Bucktooth fish look so cool!
The vampires of the fish world!”
“Damn, those big teeth, they’ve got style!
Looks like they’re also sold as ornantal fish; this one can compete with the black Piranha!”
“The shape looks like a turned-up mouth, but with those big teeth, it’s way too aggressive!”
Yue Feng didn’t have ti to look at the ssages in the public chat, but it wasn’t long before the fish made a second leap out of the water, thrashing its gills wildly again.
This giant bucktooth was incredibly powerful, leaping at least half a ter out of the water and causing a massive splash upon re-entry.
Following a specific reminder, Yue Feng no longer sought to reel in the fish quickly but patiently maneuvered the loose release force, fighting it: reel in, let out, reel in, let out—repeating the process endlessly, constantly adjusting the details to wear down the fish’s energy.
Fortunately, the environnt they were in was a fast-flowing area near an upstream water mouth.
Aside from the vicinity of the water mouth where the currents were strong, there was a feature similar to a small impact lake with deeper waters underneath.
The giant fish had no intention of fleeing to shallower spots, but kept swimming back and forth in the lake, providing Yue Feng with the opportunity to reel it in.
After more than twenty minutes of strenuous struggle, the fish’s energy was finally almost exhausted.
Yue Feng’s rod lifted steadily for the first ti, and he finally managed to pull the behemoth alongside the boat.
“Holy shit!
It’s huge!” Once the fish was at his feet, Yue Feng glanced at it and couldn’t help but curse in amazent.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t well-versed; it was that the fish was truly impressive!
Without any exaggeration, the fish’s head was almost as big as the small basin used at ho for washing faces.
What struck Yue Feng the most were the two long teeth in the mouth of this bucktooth fish.
Even if an ordinary fish had teeth, having triangular-shaped ones like those of a piranha would be extraordinarily rare, but the bucktooth’s teeth exaggeratedly surpassed that by at least two levels.
Seeing these teeth, Yue Feng’s first thought was of the ancient and now extinct saber-toothed tiger.
Two large canines, each at least twenty centiters long!
If it managed to bite soone with those, it could probably pierce through a thigh.
What was even more chilling was the structure of the upper jaw on the fish’s head.
This pair of large teeth wasn’t exposed at a slant; there were two holes extending into the skull at the upper jaw, like natural sheaths.
When the mouth was closed, the large teeth could retract into the holes in the upper jaw.
Watching this structure, Yue Feng had a fleeting illusion; could these large teeth not pierce into the fish’s own brain?
Zhou Jie reminded him, “Hey, Feng Ge!
If I’m not mistaken, this fish could break the world record for the giant bucktooth category.
I think you should take enough video evidence now so you could use it to file for a personal record with the World Fishing Sports Association later!”
Yue Feng nodded, “Oh, alright!”
“Hello everyone in the live stream, this is Yue Feng live from outdoor fishing!
Currently, we are fishing in a tributary of the Black River in the Amazon Basin, and today we’ve been lucky enough to catch a giant bucktooth fish that could potentially break a world record!
Right now, with the assistance of my friend and the local native captain, we’re going to asure and weigh this giant fish!
Zhou Jie, co on, help out, let’s get the fish onto the boat together!”
Zhou Jie responded and worked with Yue Feng to pull the fish aboard.
Once the fish was completely out of the water and on the boat, the visual impact was even stronger,
On a boat over four ters long, the fish on board took up about one-third of the length—Zhou Jie took out a asuring tape from the toolbox to help with the asurents: from the front end of the fish head to the tail, a total length of 158.3 cm!
“Oh my god!
Feng Ge has caught a monster!”
“How on earth do you eat such a big fish?
I wonder how many years it has been growing, it must be almost supernatural!”
“Damn, just thinking about those two big teeth biting into a hand is thrilling…”
“After asuring, how do we weigh it?
Such a big fish isn’t easy to handle!”
“Is Feng Ge going to break another world record?
By the way, does anyone know if the big fish caught from Kanas Lake last ti was successfully certified?”
