The Top Fishing Master

"Ivan went to check on the movements of the brown bear, everyone don't worry, we've all received professional training and will protect everyone."

Successfully scaring the brown bear away, Brother Zhang let out a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't his first encounter with these big guys in Kamchatka and he had even shot a few, facing them still made him nervous.

"Whoa! Brother Zhang, I used to think those online stories about Russia being full of bears were just jokes, but it's true!"

With firearms nearby and some skills of his own, Wang Bo felt relieved and reflected on their recent encounter.

"Yeah, there are about thirty thousand bears around Kamchatka. Our activity area is exactly where these brown bears live, so it's normal to encounter them."

"Oh man, isn't that dangerous?"

"Uh, generally it's not dangerous. Bears are solitary animals; they might have a couple of cubs at most. For a team like ours, with a gun in hand, we can handle it."

"Well, that's good then. But, if we end up killing a bear here, will there be any issues?"

After Brother Zhang's explanation, Lin Yang and the others understood. However, he wondered if Brother Zhang's hunting rifle suddenly malfunctioned, and if he could take down a bear barehanded, would he be in trouble if he killed it?

"Hold on, Little Brother Lin, did Old Wang not tell you anything?"

Brother Zhang felt more confused by the minute, how come Lin Yang seemed so unfamiliar with this trip's details?

"Tell me what? Before, Brother Wang just mentioned meeting at the airport. I think the rest is all on the itinerary details, isn't it?

The first day is fishing, the second day seeing snow-capped mountains and volcanoes, the third day fishing again, the fourth day hunting, the fifth day blah blah blah..."

"Alright, it seems Old Wang didn't tell you the precautions. My bad, if I hadn't swapped places with him, he would have explained it on the plane...

But no worries, it's not too late to tell you now. During this trip, we're bound to encounter bears, but our security is sufficient, so there's no need to worry about safety.

You mentioned hunting earlier, in Kamchatka, there are about two thousand brown bear hunting quotas each year.

Our club's partners here have over a hundred quotas in hand, so taking down a few bears is fine."

"Oh~"

As Brother Zhang finished speaking, Lin Yang's eyes lit up in anticipation of the upcoming itinerary.

Hunting is an instinct ingrained in a man's bones.

There's a natural interest in weapons, and while guns are hard to come by in the homeland, they're not as restricted abroad.

Wang Bo and the others didn't seem surprised, indicating Lin Xue had informed them beforehand.

After eating and drinking, Wang Bo and Xu Kun, bursting with energy, set out with two guides straight away without resting.

The couple, after a short break, also headed out.

Lin Yang and the others took a short nap and lingered a bit on the spot.

After all, it's a vacation; there's no need to rush.

Once they were all rejuvenated, they boarded the inflatable boat again to drift downstream.

The afternoon plan was to continue fishing while drifting, expecting to reach the campsite by evening.

"Shoo~"

A cast was thrown, and the Minnow Lure flew out, landing in the gently flowing river.

The fishing line dropped onto the water, creating a curve as it was carried by the current.

Before Lin Yang had a chance to react, the fishing line on the river's surface was quickly pulled straight, a fish had bitten the hook.

Lifting the rod, fish on!

After a brief tussle, the fish was quickly brought to the side of the inflatable boat, then with a forceful lift, it was brought aboard.

"Successfully caught a Large-Scale Salmon, points, and Experience Value added..."

Another Emperor Salmon.

However, this one was on the smaller side, probably weighing only three or four pounds.

Among Emperor Salmon, this size was just a baby, so Lin Yang released it back into the stream.

"Successfully caught a Chinook salmon..."

"Successfully caught a Chinook salmon..."

"Successfully caught a Humpback Chinook salmon..."

Lin Yang and Li Xiaopeng were happily fishing, while Yue'er was taking scenic photos and capturing some amazing moments of them. Brother Zhang skillfully maneuvered the inflatable boat, gently flowing forward with the stream.

As the inflatable boat rounded a bend, those aboard spotted an unexpected visitor ahead.

A brown bear was standing in the river, feasting on the upstream salmon.

The bear seemed to stand by a small waterfall with a tiny drop, where fish had to leap upstream to pass.

Like a goalkeeper, the brown bear awaited the fish to leap straight into its jaws.

As if catching a ball, when a fish leaped from downstream, the heavy-seeming brown bear opened its gaping mouth and bit down on the jumping salmon, quickly swallowing it in a few bites.

"...There really are a lot of bears in this area!"

Encountering two brown bears in less than half a day.

The river wasn't wide ahead, and heading forwards with the inflatable boat might be dangerous, so Brother Zhang held the boat in place and said to Lin Yang:
