632: Chapter 619: Struck by a Mysterious Giant Creature Again 632: Chapter 619: Struck by a Mysterious Giant Creature Again Yue Feng: “Hello everyone, this is an Arican angler, Uncle Lawrence, who I just t through Brother Gu!
Uncle Lawrence is also a serious angler, and there’s a lot for us younger folks to learn from him!
Especially his ticulous attitude towards fishing, which has had a big impact on !
Uncle Lawrence, if it’s convenient for you, please say hello to the audience in front of the cara!”
Right now, Lawrence is in a critical mont of battling a big fish.
Ideally, he wouldn’t be able to greet the viewers, but after hearing his na ntioned by Yue Feng, he very sensibly loosened the fishing reel just a bit, letting the fish escape with the line for a short mont, creating enough ti to wave at the cara!
Lawrence: “Hello to all the friends in front of the cara, I’m the Arican angler Lawrence, and I’m very happy to et you all in this way!
I’ve hooked a big fish that’s active in the mid-to-lower layers using the jigging technique, and I plan to bring it up in the shortest ti possible!
Watch my performance!”
Lawrence’s pure Arican English pronunciation is very standard, and he’s not speaking quickly, but the vast majority of ordinary people in the live broadcast room can’t communicate in English normally, so they were confused like ducks hearing thunder.
At that mont, those in the live broadcast room who were good at English quickly translated his words to the public screen, so everyone knew what Lawrence had just said.
“Hey, this Arican old man is quite interesting!”
“Lawrence, the na and the face look familiar!
Deja vu.”
“He hasn’t caught a Big Marlin again, has he?
Judging by the bend of the rod, the fish seems considerable!”
“The guy above, do you think Big Marlin are cabbages in your field, dreaming too big!”
Yue Feng: “Judging by the bend of the rod, the fish is indeed not small, but it’s too early to say what kind of fish it is!
Based on my experience of catching Big Marlin yesterday, it doesn’t quite resemble that kind of fish; the speed of movent after being hooked is much slower!
I personally feel it’s similar to the Bigeye Tuna I caught last ti!
It could be that!”
Yue Feng was spot on with his guess, and after about twenty minutes of fighting, the fish Lawrence had hooked was exhausted and pulled out of the water.
A Bigeye Tuna!
Lawrence: “Hey, not bad!
This fish is at least over 70 pounds!
A big treasure!”
Facing Lawrence’s term of ‘big treasure,’ Yue Feng felt slightly uneasy, but he did not show it and maneuvered the drone to give a close-up shot of the fish on the surface.
Yue Feng: “Haha, I guessed right, a Bigeye Tuna of no small size!
If I’m not wrong, there should be a school of Bigeye Tuna staying nearby, feeding around this marked spot where we are fishing!”
Soon, with the help of the deckhands, the big fish was hooked, pulled aboard, and upon weighing, it asured 72 pounds, quite a bit heavier than Lawrence’s own estimate.
Just after this fish was weighed, not far away, Brother Gu Qingtian also hooked a fish!
With a similar performance to the recent catch, Brother Gu swiftly took control of the situation and in less than five minutes, pulled aboard a Bigeye Tuna weighing around thirty to forty pounds.
“Little Yue, it looks like we’ve run into another school of bigeye tuna!
While the school’s still around, do you want to switch out your gear and catch a few?” Brother Gu worried that Yue Feng might not react in ti, so he especially reminded him.
Yue Feng shook his head, “We already fished for those yesterday.
Whether we catch a few more or less, it won’t make much of an impact on our overall catch.
You and Uncle Lawrence take your ti fishing.
I’ll stick with my bottom fishing rig for now; who knows, I might get lucky and snag a record-breaker!”
Hearing this, Gu Qingtian laughed and shook his head, “Breaking records isn’t so easy.
When you’re fishing here, it’s better to be a bit more pragmatic.
Big fish aren’t so easily encountered!”
Brother Gu hadn’t even finished speaking when the fishing rod in front of Yue Feng suddenly jerked down and then quickly snapped back up, and then bent down severely again!
Drip drip drip!
A series of electronic alarm sounds went off, and Yue Feng abruptly lifted his head—his rod had a bite!
As ntioned before, placing the fishing rod in the notch on the gunwale can greatly save the angler’s effort in keeping the rod stable.
At this mont, the thick fishing rod had already bent into a large arch, surely indicating a big fish.
“Haha, hooked one!
I knew it!” Yue Feng shouted excitedly, imdiately beginning to manipulate the drag system to relieve so tension.
With his left hand cradling the middle section of the rod and his right hand furiously turning the reel, the force from the water was much greater than Yue Feng had anticipated.
The drag was already set to the lowest position; winding the line any more would completely lock it, but even so, the line was crazily running out with a ratcheting sound.
“Got a big one?
Holy shit!” Gu Qingtian heard Yue Feng’s shout and couldn’t help but swear after glancing over.
“Haha, lucked out and hit the jackpot!”
With the experience of fishing for large species before, Yue Feng was now much more relaxed.
He checked the drag and calmly stabilized the angle at which the rod was applying force, waiting for the fish to swim out to a certain distance and slow down before he’d play with it and reel the line back in.
The idea was good, but the power of the fish underwater was even more staggering than the big marlin from yesterday.
The beefy fishing rod was nearly pulled parallel to the sea surface.
In just a few breaths, half of the line in the spool had already been emptied.
Luckily, Yue Feng had secured the rod to the gunwale, aning he didn’t have to worry about stabilizing the rod and could focus solely on using both hands to crank the reel.
Yue Feng’s arm muscles bulged prominently, increntally reeling the line back in; the situation had turned into a complete deadlock!
For an angler, a deadlock is actually good news, signifying that the fishing setup and equipnt can still match the fish’s level in the water, giving a chance to land the fish.
The lengthy period that followed turned into Yue Feng gradually wearing down the large fish underwater, in a tug-of-war process.
After several furious runs that let out the line, Yue Feng felt the fishing reel getting hot and couldn’t help but shout to Wawa, “Wawa, fetch a bottle of water, the reel’s burning up!”
“Ok!” Wawa obediently responded and turned to get a bottle of water from nearby to hand to Yue Feng.
The water wasn’t for drinking; Yue Feng unhesitatingly poured it over the spool of the fishing reel.
Through intense tug-of-war, the line and spool could heat up.
If it got too hot, the nylon line would lt and deform, leading to a break, and the fish would escape.
After cooling down with water, the reel’s condition improved significantly, so Yue Feng continued to tighten the drag and reel the line back in.
