Fishing Livestream
Chapter 174 - 174 174 The Stressed Fish

174: Chapter 174: The Stressed Fish 174: Chapter 174: The Stressed Fish “Mystery Man, tell us more!

Do the two anglers next to him still have a chance, or have they been completely shut down?”

“It’s really possible.

They’ve only been fishing for a little while, and suddenly there’s hardly any action!”

“Brother Feng is just too dominant.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen him shut down his neighbors during the live stream!”

Mystery Man: “The fish are biting lightly and cautiously, with weak nibbles.

It’s a sign that the fish numbers in the spot have noticeably decreased!

It’s very likely that he shut them down, but that’s not the main point.

I feel that Brother Feng’s spot seems to be running out of steam too!”

“What?

You seeing this wrong?

Brother Feng is on a roll right now!

As soon as the float is set, he gets a bite.

How can you talk about running out of steam?”

“I also agree with the comment above.

With a ten-thousand-catty carp, they’ve fished so little, not even fifty catties yet.

It’s too early to talk about them stopping biting!”

Mystery Man: “According to the density of ten thousand catties, the fish should be biting faster, but now the fish that are biting at Brother Feng’s spot have pretty much stopped moving up.

The quantity of fish hasn’t increased with the piling up of bait as the fishing goes on.

From the current situation, they are mostly biting about five centimeters off the bottom.

Once in a while, if you cast the rod a bit off, or even when the float hits the bottom, there’s no movement!

From this, we can infer that the fish in the spot aren’t accumulating anymore.

They are basically in a state of equilibrium, or even slightly shrinking!

Don’t believe it?

Let’s bet.

I bet a pack of spicy strips!”

Guessing the fish behavior and betting is also a unique feature of Yue Feng’s live stream.

With Mystery Man stirring up controversy, the public channel suddenly became lively.

“I bet a bottle of Lao Gan Ma!

The hot streak will definitely continue!”

“I’m also betting on the continuation of the hot streak!”

“I’ll add a pack of Jinluo sausages!

Hot streak, hot streak!”

“Hahaha, Brother Mystery Man, you’re going to lose your pants this time!

Everyone seems to side with the same opinion!”

Mystery Man: “The truth is always in the hands of the few!

I’m adding a bottle of Lao Gan Dad, who else wants to bet?

Hurry up, it’s closing time soon!”

These bets from the viewers are actually a kind of code.

Winning or losing isn’t about giving actual objects to one another, but rather converting the value of those objects into virtual gifts for the streamer.

From a bystander’s perspective, this kind of activity is a no-lose situation for the streamer.

It’s one thing for the streamer to call for gift-giving, but when the audience spontaneously starts betting on the fish behavior, it’s a different feeling altogether.

The atmosphere in the live stream room is excellent, and in just a short while, the number of brothers betting in the public channel has already surpassed a hundred.

Owing to their trust in Yue Feng’s fishing skills, the vast majority of viewers believe that the catching streak will continue.

However, the actual situation, after another ten minutes of fishing, changed.

At Yue Feng’s spot, the bites became sparser and sparser.

Even changing the frequency of bait casting and spot-making couldn’t reverse this trend.

Less than twenty minutes into the betting, Yue Feng’s spot also went silent!

“????????”

“????????”

“Stopped…

stopped biting?

What the hell?”

Under the camera, Yue Feng cast his bait into the water, but the float was as still as if it were in a tank—no movement at all!

Yue Feng was quite anxious about the sudden pause in biting, but at the moment, he couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

The bites had lessened, and he took a moment to glance at the messages on the public channel.

Patience wearing thin, he scrolled through, and since he had been fishing, he could feel the changes in the fish behavior himself, which were pretty much as Mystery Man had described.

This new feature module was useful.

“Uh, cough cough!

The fish behavior isn’t too cooperative today, still unsure about the reason!

Bros, don’t be impatient!” Yue Feng said.

“Brother Feng, Brother Feng, a fishing expert has come to our live room, predicting the fish would stop biting half an hour ago!”

“@MysteryMan!

It’s this brother!”

“@MysteryManx2”

“Thanks to Brother MysteryMan for the brilliant commentary!

I looked over it, and he does make a lot of sense.

To be honest, I’m feeling a bit uncertain about today’s fish bite—it’s pretty weird.

I don’t know what you think, guys, let’s put our heads together and figure this out!”

If it were other live-streamers, Yue Feng talking like this probably would have earned ridicule from the viewers because most of them assume the persona of fishing experts with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Unlike them, Yue Feng had always communicated with his viewers in a humble way since his first broadcast—even when he had some achievements, he never got cocky.

So now, with the fish not biting and everyone a bit confused, no one felt it was an issue of him losing his character.

Instead, they began sharing their opinions to help come up with solutions.

“Could the bait flavor be the problem?

Try a new flavor!”

“Did you add Loose Powder?

Try adding some and see what happens!”

“I think the fish are tough today.

The ones that are biting are just so many, probably got duped by the boss!

Black Pit Loose Powder, a single duping, and the boss makes a tidy sum!”

Each of the viewers’ suggestions could be considered a method, but applied to today’s fish bite, they just weren’t suitable.

MysteryMan: “The fish bites are heavy, the strength of the fish when caught is fierce, and the scales and fins of the fish pulled up are in very good condition.

This shows there is nothing wrong with the quality of the fish, but their ability to cluster is poor, and they don’t respond to Loose Powder.

I guess the fish might be a bit timid and stressed out!

They’re hiding in the middle of the pond!

Try casting further out, it might just work!”

Before asking for suggestions, Yue Feng hadn’t really thought much about it and didn’t have high expectations for the interactive and analytical features of the system module.

With many factors affecting whether or not fish are caught, Yue Feng didn’t expect it to provide any particularly insightful advice that would turn the tide.

But after a few sentences of analysis, Yue Feng felt that the other party made sense!

“Uh, that seems reasonable, I’ll give it a try!” Yue Feng agreed, lifted his rod, changed the bait, raised his arm, and cast towards the full length of the rod’s position.

Under Yue Feng’s intentional control, the fishing line stretched straight toward the farthest point, the bait landing at least half a meter beyond the previous eight-section rod’s position.

The float flipped normally and then evenly descended quickly reaching the fishing target.

The bottom of the water was relatively flat, still at three and a half targets.

Seeing no reaction from the float, Yue Feng felt a bit helpless—this didn’t work either!

Just as this thought arose, the float gently trembled!

Yue Feng’s heart stirred, there’s a chance!

The sensitivity of the float was very high, the slight movement just now wasn’t a bite, but it indicated that there were fish around the double hook bait.

Yue Feng gently twitched the tip of his rod to create a small amount of movement in the submerged bait after it had landed.

Teasing the float is a fishing technique that can attract the attention of fish.

Sometimes, just a little tease is enough to make a fish bite.

And sure enough, as soon as the float was lifted without settling back, it was hit by a powerful and decisive bite.

Lift the rod, stab the fish!

Got it!

After casting to the full length, the entire line was taut, making it more difficult to control the fish, but this minor issue was not too much for Yue Feng.

After a brief stand-off with the rod bent, he led the fish back, managed a round of playing the fish over the water, and safely landed it.
