Chapter 212 - 212 212 The Great Method of Dodging and Slipping Fish

212: Chapter 212: The Great Method of Dodging and Slipping Fish 212: Chapter 212: The Great Method of Dodging and Slipping Fish This technique is quite effective against fish that relentlessly charge straight ahead without looking back.

Once the hook is in the fish’s mouth and the rod is reversed into the water, the fish gets pulled by the force coming from the side of the rod.

With good control over the force applied, the majority of fish can be pulled back.

Yue Feng was no exception.

The fish that bolted towards the middle only resisted for a few seconds before its underwater trajectory visibly changed.

Yue Feng felt the fish turn around and only then did he lift the rod a second time, slowly sliding the fish in.

However, plans can’t always keep up with changes.

The big fellow underwater was far from cooperative, obediently following the rod’s lead only for one round before it powerfully surged forward again.

This time it was a bit troublesome; Yue Feng’s position was exactly on the side where the fishing box and rod holder were placed, and the reversed rod set in water was inconveniently obstructed by the rod holder.

Seeing the potential for a fish escape incident to occur, Yue Feng had a brainwave and leaned over, gripping the rod tightly and shaking it back and forth!

This was also a secret technique for landing large fish, but Yue Feng generally didn’t like using it!

The principle was supposedly that shaking the rod back and forth would cause the fish pain, make it give up its charge, and turn around.

Yue Feng’s study of the Basic Sliding Fish Skill included this technique, but due to his lack of confidence, he rarely used it.

Now, driven by desperation, he decided to give it a try.

And it really worked wonders; within a mere two seconds, the pain made the fish turn around again!

Having been pulled back twice during its forward charges, the fish was basically secured!

Yue Feng lowered his posture, squatting on the ground, and slowly backed up while the fish was swimming towards him, creating enough longitudinal space for sliding the fish in.

After two bursts of resistance, the fish’s struggles became significantly less powerful.

The rod was bent into a large arch, and the buzzing of the line group combined with the sound of the rod echoed continuously, never ceasing.

Under the high-definition live streaming of the drone, the viewers had a close-up view of Yue Feng sliding the fish as if they were right there with him, and the buzzing sound of the line only made their blood surge with excitement.

“Bro Feng slides fish with his usual badass finesse!”

“What was that rod shaking maneuver just now?

Using the rod to stir the water and scare the fish?”

“IQ of the floor above, touching!

Your fish gets scared when you stir the water with a rod?”

“It’s a method for controlling the fish, a contingency approach for when it’s nearly time for a tug of war.

Just now, Bro Feng’s rod holder was a bit in the way, otherwise, the reversed rod in water would be the most practical!”

“The fish isn’t out of the water yet, guys.

Anyone placing bets?

Come on, let’s get the excitement going, no more bets after this!”

“What are we betting on?

The type of fish?

Or the weight?

Count me in!”

“Let’s bet on the species first, something with higher chances to warm up!

It doesn’t feel like a Carp to me, I’ll bet a bottle of Lao Gan Ma that it’s a Grass Carp!”

“Given the way it charged, I also think it’s a Grass Carp!

I’ll follow that, wagering a pack of Jinluo ham sausages!”

“I’m betting on a big Carp, the reaction from when that guy caught a Carp earlier isn’t too different!!”

Once someone took the lead, the atmosphere in the live streaming room immediately heated up.

The betting game in the live stream had already grown mature.

Although in the end, the only winner was the host, the viewers enjoyed it unabated.

It wasn’t much money to spend, they could interact with their buddies, compare who was more insightful, who had better luck, so why not!

After about ten minutes of sliding the fish, Yue Feng felt that the strength of the fish underwater was gradually decreasing, so he used his toe to lift up the large net he had placed aside, getting ready to net the fish!

This fishing site did not allow others to help net the fish, so after Yue Feng hooked one, the fellow anglers nearby did not offer to help.

Especially the old man who arrived late, who was watching with a slightly unfriendly look in his eye as if he almost wished for Yue Feng’s fish to escape.

Sensing that the fish had little energy left, Yue Feng exerted strength in his arms and intentionally pushed the rod up a bit, confirming his judgement.

The fish, drained of strength, was propped up by the rod’s leverage and floated to the surface.

The drone camera was focused on the water’s surface, and as soon as the fish broke the surface, it was captured on camera.

At a glance, it was a large Grass Carp with a long and round body!

Under the high-definition lens, every single scale was visibly distinct!

“Haha, it’s really a Grass Carp!

Who just upped the bet?

A promise made is a debt unpaid!

Hurry up, hurry!” The viewers in the live stream started to settle their bets as soon as the result was out.

Those who bet on Carp weren’t slow to act either, and small gifts worth about the same as a ten Yuan horn soon fluttered across the live stream.

The worn-out Grass Carp that had been hauled up swallowed a few gulps of water and simply turned belly up.

Yue Feng, rod in right hand and net in left, moved swiftly – got it!

Steadily into the net!

No matter the type of fish, once it gets into the Fisherman’s large net, it’s almost impossible for it to get away again.

Yue Feng set down his rod, lifted the fish to shore, and unhooked it.

By eye, the Grass Carp was at least eighty centimeters long, with a muscular and beautifully rounded body.

Yue Feng wrapped a towel around the neck of the fish, gripped it firmly with one hand, and with the other, supported the lower belly of the hard-won fish to show it off to everyone.

“Haha, gratifying!

Everyone, look how beautiful it is, not a single scale missing!” Yue Feng boasted proudly.

“Congrats to Brother Feng on the first catch!

This fish looks at least 20+ kilograms!

Awesome!!”

“Replenish the feeding area, there might be more around the spot!”

“The person above has a point.

These fish usually move in groups.

Make another baiting spoon arrangement; there could be more to catch!”

Reading the public chat, Yue Feng realized that made sense and decided to keep fishing.

However, when placing the fish in the Fish Guard, he hesitated just a touch!

According to the rules, Grass Carp from the fishery can’t be taken home if sold; one must contact the fishery staff to weigh it, settle the money, and then take the fish away.

But as the first catch of the day, Yue Feng didn’t want to sell it.

After a bit of hesitation, he chose not to sell and put the fish in the Fish Guard.

After straightening the main line and rebaiting the hook, Yue Feng repeated his specialty, arranging the Baiting Spoon every so often.

Each time the Baiting Spoon fed the spot, the amount was small, just a dozen or so pellets, but it was the consistency that counted, baiting the fish every few minutes persistently.

While replenishing the spot and chatting with the viewers in the public chat, Yue Feng noticed questions from viewers about the rod-shaking technique he had used while Sliding Fish.

“Brother Feng, talk about that rod-shaking operation during the Sliding Fish just now.

It seemed kind of magical.

Can you really play around like that while sliding a fish?”

Yue Feng organized his thoughts and said, “Well, I can definitely share a bit about that with you guys!

Generally, after hooking a big fish, the fish will instinctively try to flee toward deeper water.

An Angler can resort to a few tactics to deal with this, the simplest and most effective of which is to use a Slip knot.

As long as the fishing line assembly is strong enough and the hook is in a good spot, the success rate is super high!

If you can’t use a Slip knot, then you might try the Reversed Rod technique.

Insert the rod inverted into the water to use the rod’s resistance and flexibility to guide the fish back!

Like how I shook the rod just now, I actually don’t usually like to use that method.

The Rod Holder was a bit of an obstruction, and in a moment of inattention, the rod was nearly pulled flat, so I improvised and shook the rod to control the fish.

If the other methods are available, I personally don’t recommend shaking the rod; you can easily lose the fish in a tug-of-war, so it’s more of a last resort!”
