Fishing Livestream
Chapter 216 - 216 216 Unrestrained Loach Head-to-head Collision

216: Chapter 216: Unrestrained Loach, Head-to-head Collision 216: Chapter 216: Unrestrained Loach, Head-to-head Collision Ever since Yue Feng started live streaming his fishing, he had encountered numerous opponents and challenges, and hand-to-hand fish fights were all too common.

However, this was the first time he got into a live-streamed heated argument with someone!

Normally, fearing the influence it might have, he would often turn off the microphone to prevent live chat from setting the rhythm.

But this time, Yue Feng believed he was without fault, so he didn’t care if the words he said were heard by his live-streaming audience.

The elderly man was taken aback for a few seconds by Yue Feng’s fierce retort and, with his mouth opening and closing, he didn’t know what to say for a moment!

Since they were already hurling insults, Yue Feng had no hope of mending the relationship with the other party.

Taking advantage of his momentum, he continued, “From now on, if I hook a fish, I definitely won’t let you lift your rod to give way,

Similarly, don’t interfere with me.

Let’s each mind our own fishing!

If you think you’re in the right, don’t argue with me.

Go find the owner.

If the owner tells me to leave, I’ll immediately pack up and go!”

After dropping those words, Yue Feng returned to his seat and resumed casting his fishing rod.

It was rare to encounter such a peculiar old man who lacked not only sportsmanship but also private morals.

Arguing with him was simply a waste of time.

Seeing Yue Feng return to his seat and having said his piece, the old man, who had been stunned for quite some time, didn’t continue to curse.

Instead, he turned around, bowed his head, and began to search his shoulder bag for new line to replace the old one.

Perhaps out of spite, the elderly man’s new line was noticeably thicker than before, and he was using a Sturgeon Blade.

He was playing for keeps!

Yue Feng checked his own main line for any obvious damage and, finding none, he cast his rod back into the water.

Only then did he take the opportunity to glance at the public frequency.

“Sorry for the spectacle, brothers.

I got an earful for no reason and just couldn’t help myself!” Yue Feng explained in a soft voice.

“Feng bro, you’re awesome!

That was some tough retort!”

“That’s how you deal with him.

Acting high and mighty just because he’s old, like he has no shame!”

“The old man finally met his match this time.

Hold steady, Feng bro.

We’re your strong support!”

The live-streaming audience almost unanimously supported Yue Feng amidst the argument, proving that the wisdom of the crowd was clear.

Yue Feng felt quite satisfied seeing these comments, grateful that no one was berating him.

He said, “Alright, bros, I get your stance!

Let’s just focus on our own fishing.

I was hoping to release a few more fish anyway!”

“Keep the ‘mischief spoon’ going.

Let’s see if he can catch any fish with a cart full of bait buckets!”

Yue Feng grinned and got to work!

The pace of Yue Feng’s baiting, using the small bait spoon, visibly quickened, casting handfuls of bait at regular intervals.

This method proved to be clearly effective—within less than ten minutes, just after Yue Feng had cast a new rod out, the float was still in the middle layer of the water when it suddenly got pulled diagonally with a “plop”!

“Fish on!” Yue Feng felt a tug and gave a shout in the live stream as he exerted force in his arms to set the hook!

With a swoosh, the hook hit the fish’s mouth accurately, and a strong force began to thrash wildly underwater!

Having prefaced his intent earlier, the instant Yue Feng lifted the rod, he braced himself for a head-on collision.

He held the bending rod firmly with both hands.

Regardless of the risk of line breaking or the fish getting away, he wanted to test the strength of his line setup first.

In this clash of forces, the rod vibrated intensely, bending into a large arc.

This was the first time Yue Feng had battled a fish so aggressively with a fishing rod, and the fish made no success in breaking free, no matter how it leapt and darted.

Originally harboring a tentative idea, Yue Feng realized when the actual battle commenced that the fish underwater were not invincible either.

Apart from the first charge which was very fierce and made him a bit uncertain, the subsequent strikes were completely withstood by the rod and line setup.

Now, Yue Feng’s courage grew.

Since both the line setup and the rod could bear the pressure, why not go all out?

He abandoned the skill-intensive Eight-character Sliding Fish Method, instead relying on sheer human strength and the toughness of the rod and line to take on the fish head-on.

After a few rounds, in less than three minutes, another large Grass Carp was pulled to the surface!

The fish had not flipped belly up but was already under control.

Yue Feng held the rod in his right hand, cradled the net in his left hand, submerged it halfway into the water ahead of time, probed and pulled, off you go!

Successfully netted!

This Grass Carp was almost the same size as the first catch, but the time to land it was significantly reduced.

After Yue Feng removed the hook, he showed off its size to everyone in the live stream, then quickly placed it in the Fish Guard.

“Wow, Feng is brutal!

Did not see that coming; aside from being skilled, Feng is a true alpha male deep down!”

“Just now Feng was so manly!

So formidable!

I even saw veins popping on his forehead, love it!”

“The guy above must have a crush, saying this kind of stuff as a grown man, are you gay?”

“Feng’s rod and line setup are also freakin’ awesome!

What configuration is that?

The big Grass Carp just now had to weigh at least twenty pounds, right?”

Yue Feng re-checked the bait on the hook and responded, “12# main line, 9# branch line, Sturgeon Blade size one for big fish!

The bait is still the same one we used during fishing at the reservoir last time, specialized for big fish!”

“You mean sheep dung pellets?

I’ve tried those!

Brought back seven or eight from our local reservoir, used them a few times, and had several big line breaks!”

“The effect is great, but the smell is so strong; fellow anglers thought I was hooking up poop!!”

The bait indeed had an off-putting smell, but Yue Feng had gradually gotten used to it, saying, “The third one!

Let’s put in more effort and aim for the top spot!

Guys, if you haven’t shared the live stream, please help share it.

Once we reach 5000 viewers, we’ll have a giveaway!

The prize will be the big fish line setup I’m currently using!

That includes a set box of main and branch lines plus a bonus trial pack of special big fish bait!”

With the new prize announced, the viewers in the live stream became excited.

The market value of the items was unclear, but Yue Feng’s reputation since the start of his streams had been excellent.

Products from his hands had received great feedback from the viewers in the live stream.

Add to that his recent operation of hooking a twenty or thirty-pound Grass Carp, many anglers interested in landing big fish became particularly enthusiastic, all wanting to get their hands on this little gift to try it out.

With over 3700 people in the live stream, sharing quickly surged again, pushing previous comments in the public feed down.

After handling a Grass Carp head-on, Yue Feng’s confidence soared.

His bait scoop worked nonstop, scattering about a dozen pellets into the water with each cast, and the cadence of his baiting became more consistent.

After landing several fish in a row, the old man next to him couldn’t hold back anymore!

He had had bites too, but after losing one fish and breaking the line on another, he was still empty-handed!

Seeing that the guy next door was having good results with using the baiting spoon, he decided to give it a try himself.

With that thought, the old man hung his rod on the Slip knot and stood up to walk towards his car.
