Chapter 218 - 218 218 Reverse Gear

218: Chapter 218: Reverse Gear 218: Chapter 218: Reverse Gear How to describe this power?

It felt ominously strong; not only was the sheer force overwhelming, but the speed of the impact was also exceptionally fierce.

The moment the rod set the hook, the fish shot out like an arrow, and the rod was yanked forward as if it was caught on a speeding motorcycle, quickly being pulled flat.

Normally, Yue Feng would either dip the rod to control the fish and move to another spot, or he would let go of the slip knot; he would never clash head-on with it.

But now, after having talked tough with the old man next door, and the use of slip knots not being allowed in the fishing ground, he gripped the rod tightly in his hands in a blink of an eye.

“Dammit, I want to see what kind of monster this is!” Yue Feng exclaimed in a low voice, clutched the fishing rod with both hands, and stood his ground in a tense stalemate!

No matter what, even if the rod broke or the line snapped, he could not lose his momentum.

Incredibly, with this determination, he withstood the first round of assaults.

The rod bent sharply towards the upper sections, looking like it could snap at any moment, but it didn’t!

The line group was humming under tension, at risk of breaking any second, but it held fast!

After surviving the initial sprint, Yue Feng relaxed a little, sensing a chance!!

The fish underwater continued to struggle fiercely, but with mental preparation, Yue Feng steadied himself.

“This is insane, insane, Brother Feng isn’t about to land the big one in the pit, is he?

At the start of the broadcast, Brother Feng said there were fish weighing over a hundred pounds in the pond!”

“A big fish wouldn’t exert its strength like that.

Although powerful, they are much more stable; the larger they are, the steadier the fish!

That burst of energy just now was like a mad dog, it doesn’t feel like a very big fish!”

“I also don’t think it’s a big fish, my personal judgment suggests it’s not a clean bite, it’s more like the hook caught on the fin or the tail, only reversing could give such an exaggerated force!”

“Should I say it or not, Brother Feng’s rod and line group are really badass, for a moment there I almost thought it would snap, but it just toughed it out without a problem!”

The viewers in the livestream were guessing it was a fish hooked by the tail, and Yue Feng felt that this possibility was very high as well.

The fish’s desperate thrusts clearly exceeded normal values, and its way of exerting force was also different from a fish hooked in the mouth.

After several rounds of intense grappling, the fish underwater gradually depleted its strength; Yue Feng managed to lift it to the surface using the rod.

Just as he had guessed, the hook was caught on the tail of a big Grass Carp; its ‘three-pronged pitchfork’ was spent, no longer struggling.

Landing the fish safely, Yue Feng let out a sigh of relief, feeling an intense thrill!

He had just been on the verge of thinking his rod was about to burst!

“Phew!

The brother in the chat was right, that reverse gear nearly did me in; let me rest for a bit, catch my breath and calm down before we go on!”

Yue Feng checked the main and leader lines to make sure they weren’t damaged, then cast the line back into the water and sat down to catch his breath.

After a minute, his breathing steadied, no wonder so many anglers enjoy fishing for big fish; this kind of thrill is something you can never get from smaller fish.

“Phew, here comes the fourth catch!!

The fish were darting all over just now and probably messed up the bait spot, so let’s refill the bait, take a breather and recover for a bit!”

After making the announcement, Yue Feng started to refill the bait with the wasteful spoon, scattering kernels of old corn and such into the spot.

The float was noticeably much more stable than before the fish were biting.

Seeing Yue Feng replenish the bait hole, Yu Dapao also followed suit, adding significantly to his bait holes, but with mediocre results.

Secret formula pellets laced with extra additives formed a unique scent zone underwater.

Any nearby fish were drawn to this special smell.

No matter how much ordinary fish feed was scattered, it was just setting the table for someone else, incapable of retaining them.

About twenty minutes after replenishing the bait holes, the long-missed signs of fish returned!

Yue Feng repeated his old trick, lifting the rod to check the bait before casting normally, focusing on the bait’s contact with the bottom and the fish’s bite as it lifted its head to feed.

In less than an hour, he caught two grass carps and one blackfish, each weighing twenty to thirty pounds.

By nine in the morning, there were already eight big fish in Yue Feng’s fish guard, making him the most dazzling figure around the pit.

Big fish, unlike smaller ones, are timid and do not engage in the shoaling behaviour common among the smaller fish.

Normally, it’s quite difficult to catch a large number of big fish in a short time while fishing.

The previous record for a whole day at the Big Fish Pond was seven big fish.

Now, in less than whatever hours into the fishing session, Yue Feng had already broken that record!

After the morning’s peak window for fish activity, as the temperature gradually rose, the bites became rarer.

Yue Feng opened his umbrella to shade his fishing spot and continued live streaming, chatting with his online audience.

The news of a kick-ass angler showing up at the Big Fish Pit spread quickly in the local fishing community.

Not only had he put Yu Dapao in his place, but he was also using a drone for live fishing broadcasts!

All these factors combined attracted many curious anglers to the pit for a spectacle.

Accustomed to live streaming, Yue Feng had grown immune to various onlookers.

He greeted everyone who came by to offer cigarettes and hellos with a smile, taking the opportunity to promote his little shop and his live stream channel, a strategy that also brought him a good number of new followers.

By ten in the morning, the bites across the pond had slowed down, and the number of viewers in Yue Feng’s live stream room had successfully broken through the five thousand mark.

With big fish, everyone has certain expectations regarding the frequency of bites.

To be honest, even if Yue Feng packed up and left now, today’s live broadcast would already be considered a success.

However, that wasn’t Yue Feng’s style, especially with Yu Dapao still by his side, as Yue Feng would absolutely not be the first to pack up.

Yu Dapao was extremely unlucky to run into Yue Feng.

From the start until now, he had caught nothing.

Ever since Yue Feng adjusted his bait, Yu Dapao hadn’t had a single bite, even though he had thrown more than half of his half-bag of pellets into the bait hole.

A total waste!

There were signs of fish around the bait spot, but only the youngster next door was getting bites.

Yu Dapao couldn’t help but believe something was amiss, figuring he had encountered a master today.

Just as he was scratching his head, considering whether to shamelessly smooth things over and ask for some bait to try, the number of viewers in Yue Feng’s live stream suddenly soared.

The number, which had been stable at around five thousand, skyrocketed in less than a minute, rapidly multiplying.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached 28,000 and was still climbing.

“Uh?

Can someone tell me what just happened?” Yue Feng was baffled upon seeing the number of viewers in his live stream.

What’s going on!

You Ying sends God of Man x666!!

You Ying: “Hehe, surprised or not, astonished?”

“You Ying’s army is here for inspection!

Irrelevant people, make way!”

Some viewer sent a show-off message, which unexpectedly triggered a chain reaction.

Numerous newcomers in the live stream copied the message, and within moments, it dominated the screen!

The same sentence repeated nearly three thousand times, creating quite an impression and a sense of ceremony!
