A bit primitive, isn’t it?

Tell him, if not, we can use my gear!” Yue Feng said, glancing over a bit sheepishly.

Zhou Jie shook his head, “No need!

His gear is sufficient!”

Yue Feng nodded and addressed the live stream, “Our captain here is going to teach everyone the local way of fishing for piranhas.

So, everyone, get ready to enter learning mode with me!

As you can see, the captain’s gear is quite basic.

Let’s see how he deals with these fierce creatures using what methods!”

Under Yue Feng’s control, the camera shifted to the captain.

The captain casually pulled a sharp knife from his waist and expertly speared a piranha out of the bucket, butchered it in front of everyone, and then cut off a thumb-sized chunk of flesh from the meaty part of its back.

Seeing this, Yue Feng was slightly stunned.

Could the secret be using piranha flesh to fish for its own kind?

Just doing that would be way too low-tech.

Piranhas eat meat, so using meat as bait is common sense, isn’t it?

Yue Feng could do that himself!

But the next second, the captain performed an action that both Yue Feng and everyone in the live stream could not comprehend.

The captain plunged the front end of a stick into the water and started wildly stirring and slapping it around.

In his deliberate commotion, the water splashed loudly.

“What is this?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

Fabio explained, “The waters of the Amazon River are quite murky, visibility is very low; piranhas rely mainly on hearing and smell when feeding!

Creating big splashes on purpose makes the fish think that prey is struggling nearby.

They will quickly gather from all directions!”

Yue Feng got it then!

So the piranhas had such habits.

Weren’t these the legendary sound-triggered ones?

In just a few minutes, Yue Feng noticed certain changes in the surrounding waters; ripples started emerging below the surface—fish were coming!

Fabio noticed these subtle changes too, stopped stirring the water, hung the cut piece of meat on the hook, exposing the tip, and casually tossed it into the water.

No more than three to five seconds after the meat hit the water, he casually lifted up, and a piranha was hanging on the hook!

After flipping it onto the boat, he pressed it down with the sole of his rubber sandals to remove the hook, adjusted the piece of meat, and continued casting.

Soon, he pulled up a second one.

Then, the third.

The fourth.

The fifth!

The fish below seemed inexhaustible as they were pulled up rapidly, fishing efficiency far surpassing that of Yue Feng.

Previously, Yue Feng was barely scratching the surface, but now it was a solid hit after hit.

“Holy crap, can fish really be caught this way!

Zhou, tell the captain to let me try!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but rub his hands excitedly.

Zhou Jie conveyed the message to the captain, and Fabio casually passed the rod to Yue Feng.

Accepting the rod, Yue Feng said, “Guys, I’m really learning something today!

Forget the lure rod, let’s try the local fishing style too.

The rod’s already here, watch me!”

As he spoke, the piece of meat was thrown into the water, and in just two or three seconds, Yue Feng felt a tug at the tip of the slim rod in his hand, and he immediately jerked it up.

Sure enough, a fish was pulled up!

“Haha, how about that, I got one too!

How’s the speed, eh?

You might not see any action in the little rod, but when a fish bites, you really feel it in your hand!

“How should I describe it?

It’s like when we aerate the Black Pit, and the rod tip tenses up!

After hooking a fish, you can feel the power of the fish pulling!”

“Damn, Feng learned it just like that!”

“Shit, looking at these simple gears, it feels like back in childhood when we used a red-hot sewing needle as a fish hook with an earthworm to catch carp!”

“+1 upstairs!

When I was little, I would also go to my great-uncle’s house next door for a goose feather to use as a float.

I miss those days when there were no fancy fishing techniques or baits, yet we could still catch a lot of fish.

“Now, well, I can only go play at Black Pit or in cultivated reservoirs!”

“We don’t use goose feathers here, instead, we thread foam with a needle or use sorghum stalk!

We use toothpaste tubes as sinkers, and we make our fish hooks from heated sewing needles!”

“I really miss the old days…”

Aside from the new generation of fishermen, the majority in the live stream who had experienced those days of abundant fishing resources started reminiscing uncontrollably!

Yue Feng: “Since I began live streaming, I have been advocating for the protection of our fishing resources!

If we could enjoy explosive fishing right by our doorstep, we probably wouldn’t need to travel far and wide to fish elsewhere!

We all have a long way to go!

Let’s not dwell on these emotions, let’s continue fishing, let’s catch our lunch first!

Lunch menu, pan-fried piranha!”

After a few casts, Yue Feng found the right frequency, and the fish were biting non-stop, almost one after another, he somehow managed to fish out the catching frequency with primitive techniques.

A small piece of meat caught over thirty piranhas, still firmly hooked.

About half an hour later, Yue Feng finally had enough of playing!

In the live fish tank, there were dozens of piranhas, not to mention having for lunch, probably not even for dinner.

After returning the equipment to the captain, Fabio kept steering the boat forward.

After walking a few hundred meters, Yue Feng said, “The captain just gave me a tip!

The big fish here are predators, we can use lure as bait or try chunks of meat!

I’m not one of those so-called lure masters when it comes to fishing, catching a fish makes one a master!

Next, we’ll combine local and foreign techniques and try hanging small pieces of meat on the triple hooks of the lure, see if it has any special effect!”

Soon, Yue Feng hung a piece of fresh meat smaller than a fingernail cap behind the lure’s butt and cast it towards a new target.

With meat hanging on the hook, the lure’s posture in the water was somewhat affected, no longer as harmonious, but the actual impact was not too significant; it still maintained basic balance while retrieving smoothly.

As the fishing line was nearly reeled in, Yue Feng thought this cast would be fruitless.

But just five meters from the boat, a fish suddenly sprang from the water and bit the tail of the lure.

Only a massive splash was seen on the surface as the robber bit the hook and frantically tried to escape.

In an area with complex terrain and many obstacles, Yue Feng might have lost the fish due to mismatched equipment and fish species.

But with that bite received while he was reeling in, and being in clear water, he definitely wouldn’t let it get away!

Yue Feng reacted instantly, jerked the rod to set the hook, then adjusted to stabilize the wildly rushing fish.

This big fellow was extremely strong, Yue Feng had already turned the reel quite a bit, yet it still kept wildly unspooling the line, almost feeling like he couldn’t lift the rod.

However, in the clear water area, he wasn’t worried about the fish running amok.

After letting out about ten meters of line, the fish’s strength finally eased a bit.

“This fish isn’t small!

Big fellow!

You little rascal, in clear water, you won’t get away!

Watch me steady it and reel it up!”
