Chapter 178 - 178 178 Stress Response

178: Chapter 178 Stress Response 178: Chapter 178 Stress Response Old Zhao had been running his store for many years, and the subsidiary lines he sold were all tied by hand.

If his hook-tying skills were to be rated by the system, even if they didn’t reach master level, they would still be at least above the level of an expert.

There was absolutely no problem with the rate of good and superior quality products.

But today, while Old Zhao himself encountered no issues while fishing, Teacher Bai, who took the subsidiary lines, bizarrely snapped the hook.

They had originally planned to use some tricks to teach Yue Feng a lesson between the two of them, but now Teacher Bai was completely put off by the ordeal, and Zhao Dezong’s catch was not too impressive either.

After Yue Feng switched to the Running Lead Float, his bait landing spot was at least several dozen centimeters further than Zhao Dezong’s, such a significant distance difference had already determined the outcome of the final catch.

Looking over the entire fishing area, very few fishing spots could maintain a steady rhythm of catching fish, with only four edge positions yielding a stable and continuous catch; most players had extinguished their enthusiasm.

The fishing area’s atmosphere was not great, with many anglers who had paid money grumbling and complaining, and He Wenlong, the boss who had been circling around the fishing area, was anxious.

Running a Black Pit fishing area and maintaining a good reputation is extremely hard, yet ruining it only takes a few bad fishing events and quickly a complete loss of credibility ensues.

He Wenlong understood this principle, so as soon as he noticed the disadvantage at the start, he began calling people around to analyze what the problem was today.

After some communication, a general consensus was reached: the fish quality was not the issue, but the fish were too stressed, skittish, and the slightly lower water temperature had driven them into the center of the pit.

Having reached this conclusion, He Wenlong called the aquaculture master responsible for transporting the fish in the truck, only to find out that the master had cut corners and had not added anti-stress medication to the water box when transporting the fish!

Once the crux of the problem was identified, He Wenlong quickly thought of a solution.

The fish are stressed and scared, unwilling to bite?

Then find a way to make them active and agitated!

There are specific medications for resolving such stress behaviors in aquaculture; He Wenlong sent his staff to buy a box of Stress Spirit by car.

After purchasing the medication, He Wenlong, carrying a loudspeaker, called out at the edge of the pit, “Sorry, brothers who came to support us today!

The fish are not too cooperative.

After discussing with a few friends, we think the fish in the pond might be scared due to stress, so everyone please pause your fishing, and we’re going to add oxygen for an hour!

During this time I will scatter medication to make adjustments, and if the fishing rate still does not reach a minimum of 60%, everyone will be refunded!

I’ve arranged for a simple lunch for everyone at noon, as a small token of compensation for the brothers, I apologize to everyone!”

With this announcement through the loudspeaker, the anglers who had been cursing just moments before quieted down, He Wenlong was still the righteous man they knew, already working on a solution for everyone!

At this moment, probably the most frustrated were the anglers on the four outer edges, as due to their position, they were still in the midst of continuous action.

However, coincidentally, the guys who drew the outer edges were all quite acquainted with He Wenlong.

Since the pit boss had spoken, they too had to reluctantly stop fishing.

After the announcement through the loudspeaker was finished, in just a few minutes two high-power oxygenation machines started up, and soon the surface of the pool was churning with waves, making it impossible to continue watching the float and fish normally.

Staff took out a medium-sized plastic bucket from the shed, and with a small scoop started going around the fishing area unceasingly splashing slightly milky white medication water, while the anglers, after a morning’s trouble, began storing their gear and took shelter in the shade to rest.

Seeing that normal fishing could no longer continue, Yue Feng said in the livestream, “You guys have heard the announcement from the pond owner just now, the fish situation is indeed a little off, and now we need to add oxygen and scatter medication for adjustments.

I’m not going to stop the broadcast for now, let’s chat for a while, exchange some ideas!”

“What about the hook-snapping expert?

Why not let him come and exchange ideas with the brothers?”

“The guy upstairs is really bad, waiting for Brother Feng to get into a fight with someone.

Didn’t hold in a good fart!”

“Didn’t hold in a good fart +1.

Since we’ve got some time, let’s talk about today’s fishing skills and methods.

The mysterious guy from before mentioned something, and Brother Feng also gave a tiny introduction, but it didn’t clarify everything!

What exactly are the Flying Lead Fishing Method and the Floating Lead Fishing Method?”

“I’m curious about this too; I thought I was the only one who didn’t get it!”

“Count me in on not understanding.

Now, let’s invite Brother Feng to enter the Fishing Skill Lecture!

Double-tap the red heart and start sharing your gifts!”

With nothing better to do, Yue Feng saw that many of his stream viewers had this question, so he was inspired and said, “Alright, let’s take this opportunity to explain things.

We’ll head over to the Tuning Pool; they just changed the water there, it’s clear, and you can make out the bottom of the pool!”

After making this announcement, Yue Feng picked up his fishing rod and walked towards a small pit outside the fishing area’s fence, used for tuning floats.

Not much time had passed since the water in the Tuning Pool was changed; there were no fish, and it wasn’t specially treated with chemicals to foster water growth, so it was very clear.

With a depth of about 1.5 meters, one could almost see the bottom.

To explain the specific differences between the various fishing methods, it’s quite simple if you have access to water.

Yue Feng prepared two sets of fishing lines and specially made a batch of ordinary ragworm bait tinged with rouge colorant.

With much fanfare, he began his explanation.

“In usual Taiwan Fishing, when the trolling is within a reasonable range, the water line and the wind line are almost vertical.

Let me adjust the camera angle downward, so you all can observe carefully!

Those who haven’t enabled 4k should do it now; you should be able to see clearly!”

Thanks to the ultra-high resolution, indeed, the situation of the lines in the water could be seen clearly.

It was apparent that the line from the rod tip to the float had a slight incline, while the line from the float seat to the sinker was almost vertical, with an actual angle of about 90 to 100 degrees.

“This is what our normal fishing looks like.

I’ll attach two ragworm baits, and you can see where the bait lands!”

Having said that, Yue Feng baited the twin hooks with ragworm and cast them into the water!

The bait tinted with rouge red was very eye-catching, and it was clear to see where it landed.

Therefore, Yue Feng made a mark on the shore, parallel to where the bait settled.

After demonstrating the normal method of fishing, Yue Feng pushed up the lead skin seat and the float, adjusting the line setup to Full Flying Lead.

“Pay attention to these few points, everyone.

First, the speed at which the bait hits the water, the speed at which the float capsizes, and finally, where the bait lands in the water!”

After giving his listeners a heads-up, Yue Feng baited the twin hooks again and cast out once more!

In the video, the different details of the line setup hitting the water could be clearly seen.

First was the flip of the float.

After the lead skin was pushed beneath the float, the capsize of the float could be described as lightning-fast; it flipped over the instant it hit the water.

Without the acceleration of the lead skin, the baits’ descent was much slower, drifting down leisurely until they finally settled at the bottom a little later.
