Fishing Livestream
Chapter 551 - 551 538 The Hundred Jin Chum Salmon

551: Chapter 538: The Hundred Jin Chum Salmon 551: Chapter 538: The Hundred Jin Chum Salmon “The device is also set up, and everyone else should return to their observation posts and continue monitoring.

Report any developments on time!” Professor Zhang called out, and the other members of the exploration team dispersed.

Yue Feng had a sudden idea, “At this point, we can only wait!

But I don’t like just waiting around.

Why don’t we take another walk?

We went along the east bank yesterday, let’s try walking along the west bank this morning!”

As long as the live stream is on, the viewers will watch, no matter where you go.

An opportunity could come at any second, nobody can be sure of anything.

“Yeah, let’s go, bring the Lure Rod, there should be Atlantic salmon in there, try and see if you can encounter one!”

“I searched online, and some say the lake monster is just a giant Atlantic salmon.

Not sure if it’s true or not, but Brother Feng, give it a try with the lure, see if you can catch one.

If not a big one, even a meter-long one will do!”

Yue Feng: “Alright, let’s give it a try!”

As time went by, the morning fog gradually thinned, and visibility improved.

But due to the extremely low water temperature, the fish were not feeding well.

Yue Feng tried fishing in several brightly indicated areas, losing several sets of Lead Head Hooks without even a single River Cod on the line.

However, with the hype of the lake monster, the number of viewers in the live stream was steadily rising.

Latecomers were asking about the situation, while those who had seen the traps being set were vividly describing the size of the hooks and the thickness of the lines, ratcheting up the anticipation.

From just after nine o’clock, having walked along the west bank for over an hour, Yue Feng hadn’t caught any fish; it seemed this time of the morning wasn’t suitable for fishing.

Yue Feng packed up the Lure Rod, “Ah, the pattern of a high mountain cold water lake is different from our regular fishing!

The bite is bad in the morning, let’s head back, it’s almost time for lunch!”

No sooner had he said this than Yue Feng felt his phone vibrate; he took it out and saw that the device at the center of the lake had been triggered!

For a moment, Yue Feng was stunned, almost unable to believe it.

He looked down at it once more, and after reconfirming, it was true!

It had really been triggered!

“Shit!

The device we set up this morning has been triggered!” Yue Feng called out, immediately turning the boat around toward the center of the lake.

“It really triggered?

Oh my god!

Does this mean we’re about to see the water monster?”

“Water monster!

Water monster!

Let’s see what it really is!”

“Take it slow, don’t rush!

Brother Feng, steady on, get in touch with Professor Zhang, don’t just rush over there on your own!

Pay attention to safety!”

“Be safe +1, the water is too cold, make sure not to fall in, you might not drown, but hypothermia is a risk!”

Yue Feng: “Don’t worry!

I’m sending a message to Professor Zhang right now!”

There was a motorboat always at the temporary dock at the campsite, but it was quite noisy.

Upon receiving Yue Feng’s message, Professor Zhang didn’t care anymore, quickly donned his life vest, and rushed to the spot with a student.

From a distance, Yue Feng saw that the activated device had turned into a large orange inflatable mat, over eight meters long and six meters wide, currently floating on the water.

Yue Feng: “This is what our device looks like after activation, using massive buoyancy to deplete the energy of the fish underwater!

The force adjustment is set to thirty kilograms, but once activated and the line inflates, it locks after releasing around one hundred and fifty meters!

Let’s use a drone to take a look overhead, and see if the creature that swallowed the hook is still there!”

Faced with the unknown, Yue Feng was quite cautious as he operated the drone to take a close look for a while, noticing that the creature underwater was still exerting force, pulling the expanded mat in the southeast direction.

“It’s still there, still there!

Let’s not rush, the hook and line are made of special materials, the strength is definitely not a problem!

We’ll wait until the creature below tires out, and the inflatable device stops moving, then we’ll go up.”

Following this, the livestream entered a long period of waiting, until after more than an hour, Professor Zhang met up with Yue Feng, and finally the raft began to gradually come to a stop.

Professor Zhang asked, “What’s next?

Should we let out the air from the raft?”

Yue Feng shook his head and said, “At the center of the raft, there’s a small metal anchor for auxiliary fixing, just retract the anchor.

At the four corners of the raft where the meridians have been reinforced, there’s a hook lock; drag it ashore while pulling on them, release the air, and the thing underwater should be able to be pulled up!

You’re not too familiar with the equipment, so let me do it!”

“Okay!

It’s your turn!

Drag the raft to the shore and we’ll talk then!”

Yue Feng piloted the inflatable boat close to the raft, and then stepped steadily onto it.

He walked to the middle area to retract the anchor, found the hooks at the edges, and attached them to another motorboat, heading straight for the shore.

Before they even reached the shore, the thing underwater began to surface.

A large fish about a meter and a half long, covered in lead-gray spots all over its body surfaced.

“Look quick!

Caught a big fish!”

“It’s surfaced, it really is a big one!

By estimation, it should be one or two meters long, right?”

“Who recognizes this fish?

I haven’t seen it before!”

Seeing the prey, Yue Feng’s tense nerves finally relaxed.

As long as it’s a fish, there’s nothing to fear.

Never mind a bit over a meter, even if it were twice that, it wouldn’t be a problem!

After more than ten minutes, the airbag was dragged to the shore.

Yue Feng opened the designated exhaust vent, expelled the air, then folded it properly according to a certain method, after which he pulled the large fish out of the water.

This large fish had almost all the characteristics of predatory fish, like an expansible giant mouth resembling a snakehead, a tight and powerful body, accompanied by inconspicuous protective coloring, and scales that seemed to have a metallic texture.

“What a big Atlantic salmon!” Professor Zhang recognized the species and name of the fish at a glance.

“Is that Atlantic salmon?”

“Yes!

Absolutely right!

However, the ones recorded before were not this big.

This fish must have broken the record!

Xiao Zhao, bring the blanket, let’s pull the fish onto the shore and measure it!”

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for unlocking the rare fish species [Atlantic Salmon]!

Lottery Points +88000!

With passive bonuses, the current Lottery Points +440000!!

Goodness, a single fish earned Yue Feng 440,000 points!

Yue Feng’s mouth almost twisted with joy!

Once on shore, the expedition team got busy.

Some took charge of taking photos and recording, others brought blankets over to spread on a simple stretcher, and they conducted all kinds of measurements and weighing.

After about ten minutes of activity, they reached the final conclusion: the fish was 153cm in length, weighed 52kg, a male Atlantic salmon!

Before this scientific expedition arrived, there had been several other expeditions by different organizations, and there were recorded captures of Atlantic salmon, but none of them were very large, the biggest being no more than ten kilograms.

Just this individual capture had greatly refreshed the record for an Atlantic salmon’s size, and even if they were to pack up and return now, it would be more than enough to report back with!

“What will we do with this fish now?” Yue Feng asked.
