Fishing Livestream

"Brother Feng, are you coming up? Should we use the small boat to maneuver the fish? Can you swim? If not, put on a life jacket?"

Yue Feng shook his head, "No worries, I grew up in the river! Very good in water!"

"Then take it easy, come on up, I'll steady the boat for you!"

"Alright!"

Yue Feng: "Guys, the fish is too big, I feel that these hundred meters of line might not be enough, let's be cautious and use a boat to maneuver it, try to get it up!"

After a brief greeting, Yue Feng grabbed the rod with both hands and stepped onto the boat, then sat skillfully in the center of the boat, bending the rod to start maneuvering the fish.

It seemed that the surface movement stimulated the big fish underwater, and there was another forceful and steady sprint.

Seeing this, Yue Feng directly locked the drag, and the big fish underwater started pulling the small iron boat with two people in it.

The cameraman's angle naturally couldn't keep up, but the drone was hovering overhead, filming continuously, turning the shore fishing into a boat maneuvering a big fish.

Seeing the fish pulling the boat swiftly, everyone became even more excited.

"Holy crap, what's hooked down there underwater? Pulling the boat this fast!"

"Everyone knows Brother Feng's fishing skills. I've never heard him this unsure with a fifty or sixty-pound fish before. This time he actively requested a boat, I guess the fish is even bigger!"

"Stay calm, keep the frame steady, one step at a time! Don't worry, just watch patiently. Even abroad, Brother Feng has landed fish weighing hundreds of pounds. How could anything in this reservoir get away!"

"The guy above makes sense. With Brother Feng in charge, any decision is definitely okay! Just watch patiently!"

Everyone mentally prepared but still didn't expect the fish to run for over three hours straight.

The big fish underwater pulled the small iron boat back and forth in a large area around, finally slowing down near noon.

When Yue Feng sensed the speed slowing, he relaxed his arm that had gone sore from prolonged intense exertion, locked the drag switch, and tried reeling the line back in.

The resistance underwater was still very strong, but he could slowly reel it in. Yue Feng judged that the fish was probably exhausted too and patiently reeled in dozens of meters, and the fish surged again, dragging the boat for another round.

This time, the large fish completely exhausted its energy, couldn't maintain its swimming posture, and floated up.

On camera, a large white area floated to the surface, and when Yue Feng saw it clearly, his heart skipped a beat.

Goodness, just the white belly of the fish looked over a meter long by estimate, and if you include the head and tail, it should be nearly two meters.

"Oh my goodness! You've caught the king of the pond!"

"Grass carp, a giant carp over a hundred pounds! Brother Feng, you're awesome!"

"Incredible, amazing! Brother Feng is just like this when fishing! Unsatisfied? The fish catch speaks for itself!"

"How much is a fish this big worth? I'd give ten thousand for it, sell it to me? I'll drive over to grab it!"

"Bro, this must be your first time in Brother Feng's stream, right? Since when has Big Brother Feng ever sold a big catch after catching it, aside from the cost of Black Pit fishing? Not for ten thousand, even with an extra zero, Brother Feng wouldn't sell! Can't afford to lose face!"

"I heard such a big grass carp has a valuable stone in its throat! It can be made into pendants! Such a big grass carp, probably enough to make a bangle!"

"Hey, get lost upstairs, you're obviously not a fisherman!"

"Alright, stop the argument, just watch peacefully. Let's not do the moral coercion thing; Brother Feng caught the fish himself, he's free to deal with it as he wishes, no one else can intervene!"

...

Yue Feng held the rod with both hands, not daring to pull it up any further, the fish's belly facing up, its big mouth opening and closing constantly, looking thoroughly exhausted.

"Xiao Hui, row the boat back, let's take a picture and then release the fish! Such a big fish, if we toss it too hard, it might die from lack of oxygen!"

"Huh? We're not keeping the fish? Such a big guy is worth so much money, just the other day an over eighty-pound fish was sold to a businessman for over ten thousand! This one is even a size bigger!"

Yue Feng shook his head, "Follow my instructions and row back! You don't need to worry about the rest!"

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Hui rowed the boat, quickly bringing the floating fish back to the fishing spot on the shore.

Now closer, everyone could see the outline of this big fish more clearly.

With the fish maneuvering taking so long, the open space behind the fishing spot was now crowded with spectators, with anglers from most of Old Turtle Lake and local people surrounding the area.

Once the boat steadied, Yue Feng signaled to Xiao Hui to get off first, then handed the rod to him and also came ashore.

After coming ashore, Yue Feng did something that puzzled the crowd.

He took out his car keys and phone from his pants pocket and handed them to a buddy, and then took off his sunscreen clothing, stepped barefoot into the water.

"Guys, the fish is so big, it's unrealistic to bring it onshore for a photo; it might hurt the fish, so I decided not to weigh it.

Let's unhook it, give the fish some oxygen, confirm it's okay, and then release it! Come, Xiao Hui, loosen the rod slightly and let me unhook it!"

Next, the camera in the live stream gave a close-up of Yue Feng unhooking.

The fish's mouth was big enough to hold an adult's fist, hooked with a number 14 Ishiyama hook, small hook on a big mouth, a stark contrast.

The modified hook was barbless, making unhooking easier, and Yue Feng quickly removed the hook.

After removing the hook, Yue Feng opened his arms slowly, flipped the big fish over, and held it up.

Now the full appearance of this freshwater giant carp was in front of everyone.

A huge fish head, an exaggerated fish mouth, each scale as big as a child's bowl, its enormous size made all organs much larger than a typical carp, making even some who were faint-hearted feel a chill and fear upon seeing it.

The thoroughly exhausted fish lay limp in Yue Feng's hold, and once it settled, Yue Feng exerted force to lift the fish as much out of the water as possible.

On the shore, the camera sounds clicked continuously; in the frame, behind the giant carp was Yue Feng's handsome, chiseled face.

"Brother Wen, the medal of achievement is also half yours, get down here for a photo as a memento! The water in the lake isn't too cold; it's okay!" Yue Feng shouted to Brother Wen on the shore.

Brother Wen, who had fished half his life, had never seen such a big one before. Since Yue Feng invited him, he naturally didn't hesitate, quickly taking off his jacket and shoes, wearing just shorts and a singlet, he stepped into the water, slowly taking the big fish from Yue Feng to lift it for a photo.

Next was Xiao Hui, and Xiao Hui's friends, who had helped over the past few days and were familiar, were welcome to come down for a photo, taking over ten minutes to complete.

"Okay, guys, can't mess with the fish anymore, let's give it some oxygen and release it!"
