Chapter 563 - 563 550 The Palm-Sized PiIranha

563: Chapter 550: The Palm-Sized PiIranha 563: Chapter 550: The Palm-Sized PiIranha Following Yue Feng’s indication, the drone’s camera focused closely on that area, and just at that moment, the surface of the water beneath the withered tree began to ripple with a few distinct waves.

The next second, several small fish frantically fled, even leaping out of the water.

Yue Feng couldn’t help but whisper in awe, “Damn!

There’s a hunt going on; did everyone see that?

The small fish were scared so much that they jumped out of the water!”

“Saw it, saw it, the ripples were so long!

Could it be a big fellow?”

“Really giving us a show, huh?

Just mentioned there might be fish here, and then we got treated to a performance!

Feng, are you going to fess up, did you pay for actors?”

“Although it didn’t come out of the water, the fish feels pretty big!”

Yue Feng: “Everyone quiet down, the fish is still nearby, let’s cast a line and try!”

Having said this, Yue Feng couldn’t wait to cast toward the spot he had just mentioned.

Plunk, the lure hit the water, and before the line could even tighten up, there was a violent splash on the surface, and a fish flipped over with the lure in its mouth, quickly diving away.

Yue Feng hadn’t expected the fish to attack in the middle-upper layer; he was momentarily stunned until the line went taut, which snapped him back to reality, and he set the hook!

The underwater force was very strong!

Compared to the previous two fish, it was a whole different sensation; if compared to Taiwan Fishing, the earlier ones were like three to five-pound carps, whereas this one was like a thirty to forty-pound Big Qing.

It was incredibly difficult to control the fish; the underwater fish, pained by the scrape, dashed away crazily.

Luckily, since the fish was caught in the upper layer of the water, Yue Feng had a split second to react, and after the fish dashed forward a bit, Yue Feng caught up and arched the rod to the side, trying his best to control the fish’s direction.

However, what was very effective in Taiwan Fishing seemed to barely work with the Lure Fishing Method; the fish’s sprint did not stop and it burrowed straight into a clump of dead branches.

This left Yue Feng dumbfounded!

He tugged on the rod, but it didn’t budge; the lure was stuck!

“Damn, can’t move it!!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but swear, feeling somewhat helpless.

Zhou Jie glanced over, “Seems like it’s snagged!

Maybe let the Captain bring the boat over and we can go down to unhook it?”

Faced with this suggestion, Yue Feng immediately shook his head without hesitation, “Forget about it; just for a fish, a lure, it’s not worth it!

Who knows what’s down there, what unknown risks are lurking!

Just break off the leader line and replace the lure!

I brought plenty of spares this time!”

Since the sponsor had spoken, Zhou Jie naturally wouldn’t object, continuing, “That’s also good, at least we won’t scare the fish near the mark!

Still have a chance!”

Yue Feng wrapped the line outside of the reel’s slot around his gloves a few times and with a strong pull, he snapped the 10kg leader, checking for any other damages before quickly and skillfully tying on a new leader and the same type of lure.

“That was the first lost lure since we got here!

Still not experienced enough!

Getting impatient; if there’s a similar situation next time, I’ll just go head-to-head with it!

Let’s see who is more powerful!”

As it turned out, whether a celebrity master or the so-called Fishing King, making hasty promises never ended well.

After replacing the lure, the second cast went down, and he caught another fish!

This time Yue Feng reacted much faster, and on the first pull, he fiercely hoisted the rod, enduring the standoff.

He was determined not to let the big fish dive back into the branches again.

About five seconds later, the line snapped, and the fish got away.

The poor new lure, having only touched water once, was lost forever!

“Damn!

What the hell kind of fish is this!

Did everyone see just now, the rod was almost pulled flat!

Couldn’t do anything about it!”

Yue Feng was utterly speechless at this situation; within a matter of mere minutes, he had missed two big fish—an error he had never experienced before while playing Taiwan Fishing.

“Now I believe Fengfeng when he says his lure fishing skills are at 60%.

The line setup doesn’t seem to match the target fish.

I suggest switching to a thicker fishing line!”

“In such murky waters with complex terrain, it’s difficult to utilize the role of the reel’s drag system efficiently.

Often, one has to rely on the rod’s action and the sheer strength of the fishing line to fight the fish!

+1 to the suggestion above, I think the best bet is to go for a thicker PE line!”

Yue Feng glanced at the public chat, “Let’s follow everyone’s advice!

We’re upgrading our equipment!

Changing the rod to an XH action, and switching the line to 20 kilograms—I refuse to believe we’ll let another one get away!”

Feeling somewhat stubborn, Yue Feng handed his previous rod to the kid and switched to a new one, continuing to cast.

Luck graced Yue Feng twice, but the third time was not the charm.

After casting more than ten times at this spot, there was absolutely no activity.

“Fengfeng, help me tie a small lure, I want to try by the boat!” The kid, seeing Yue Feng having fun, was eager to join in and asked Yue Feng to help switch the leader line and tie a new lure.

Yue Feng had no clue what the kid was up to and just casually tied a smaller-sized VIB lure to the line.

“Be careful of your surroundings when casting, don’t hook anyone else!” Yue Feng particularly reminded her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t swing the rod.

I’ll just hold it vertically and jiggle it a bit!

I noticed some small fish by the boat just now!”

Hearing what the kid said, Yue Feng didn’t think much of it and continued to try new spots in the distance.

But before Yue Feng managed to catch anything, the kid on the other side of him called out—he had a fish on!

A small fish with an orange belly, only weighing about three to four taels, less than half a pound, was lifted up by him.

“Haha, Fengfeng, I caught a fish too!

It’s so cute!” The kid instinctively reached out to grab the fish and remove the hook.

At that moment, Zhou Jie shouted loudly, “Don’t move!”

The command stunned the kid on the spot.

Zhou Jie wasn’t the type to make noisy pranks, so his loud warning definitely indicated a risk.

“What’s up?” Yue Feng also turned to look.

“That’s a piranha, be careful not to get bitten!” Zhou Jie warned.

Hearing the word ‘piranha’, the kid immediately froze.

The thing had a sinister reputation online.

Zhou Jie held the fishing line and effortlessly lifted the fish, gripping it with his left hand while using lure pliers with his right to remove the fish from the hook.

“Eh, this is a piranha?

It looks so small!?”

“Yes, this is a piranha!

Don’t judge its danger level by its size.

This is a Red-bellied Piranha, commonly referred to domestically as the ‘Red-bellied Water Tiger’!”

An idea struck Yue Feng, and he adjusted the drone camera to focus on the piranha, “Look here, guys, witness one of the infamous creatures of the Amazon, the Red-bellied Piranha!

Don’t be fooled by its small size; its aggressiveness is formidable!

Check out its teeth, triangular and sharp.

Let’s find a twig to test its biting power!”

Yue Feng casually broke off a fresh twig, about as thick as a chopstick, stuffed it into the fish’s mouth and with a crisp snap, it cleanly bit through, effortlessly!

At that moment, the kid’s face turned instantly pale!
