Fishing Livestream
Chapter 571 - 571 558 【Hunter's Eye】

571: Chapter 558 【Hunter’s Eye】 571: Chapter 558 【Hunter’s Eye】 After measuring the total length, Yue Feng glanced at the public channel, “We do have a way to weigh this big guy!

We’ve got the right equipment onboard for weighing big fish!

It’s a simple thing, the length measured is 158.3cm, witnessed on-site by me, the native captain, and Zhou Quan, the Chinese fishing guide,”

Next, we’re going to weigh this big guy!”

The captain took out a large coarse blanket from the storage box, which had a metal ring at each of its four corners.

They wrapped the fish diagonally in the blanket and then hung the other two corners together.

Then came a large, Chinese-made, hand-held digital scale which was zeroed out before the hook was attached to the blanket.

Fabio’s arm strength was truly amazing, he lifted the fish with one hand by the scale’s handle.

Once the number stabilized, the drone’s camera gave a close-up.

With the blanket, it weighed 37.2kg.

After deduction, the net weight was 35.5kg, which translated to market catties, the fish weighed a good seventy-one catties!

“Alright, brothers, after the captain’s assistance with the weighing, the final net weight is 35.5kg!

Now that the weighing and measuring are done, let’s release this big guy back into the water!”

Upon hearing that the fish was to be released, the viewers in the live stream were not happy.

“What’s going on?

Aren’t we taking it back to the camp?

We’re releasing it?”

“Yeah, it was so hard to come across this big guy, we fished it up, and now we’re putting it back?”

“Take it back and try it, such a big fish must taste great!”

“Forget the fish, those two big front teeth alone, I bet if you shout ‘eighteen thousand’ someone would want them!

They’re too rare!

Brother Feng, can’t we take it back?”

Seeing that the viewers were all against the release, Yue Feng shook his head with a smile, “Just now, from Captain Fabio’s brief description, a giant bonefish with such a large size is extremely rare!

Even as a guide for so many years, this is the first time he has encountered one!

Species like Peacock Bass, or Silver Dragon Fish, or black Piranhas, which are widely distributed in the wild and abundant in numbers, we can take them back to the camp and eat without issue!

This big guy is so precious, let’s not harm him!

Let’s thank it for adding a bold stroke to our fishing adventure!

I have decided to release it right here!”

After delivering these righteous words, Yue Feng released the fish back into the water!

Clearly exhausted from struggling so fiercely, the fish was very weaken but was in a high-oxygen flowing area.

Yue Feng held the fish at the neck under the water for a while, and soon its state of hypoxia and weakness greatly improved,

In less than ten minutes, the bonefish shook its tail, suddenly sped up, and darted back into the depths of the impact lake, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Yue Feng washed his hands and said, “Alright!

The release is complete!

We’ve done another meaningful thing!”

Luck was truly on his side, not only did he receive over a hundred thousand Lottery Points for releasing the giant bonefish, but he was also rewarded with a General Skill.

The skill was named Hunter’s Eye, and its effect was quite impressive.

After Yue Feng acquired the skill, a casual glance at his surroundings revealed many details that he had previously completely overlooked.

On a tree by the shore, a small green snake was coiled on a branch, ceaselessly flicking its tongue in and out.

Not far from the fishing boat, several unknown fish were chasing the water currents stirred by the motor.

On the opposite bank, a few monkeys were hiding behind the branches, peeking over curiously at this side.

Not far from the water surface, the previously vanished Silver Dragon Fish reappeared, swimming back and forth in the high water layers, searching for food.

The surrounding environment looked the same, but in reality, the situation had changed dramatically from before—it felt like someone with 800 degrees of myopia suddenly acquiring 20/20 vision.

“Phew!

The release is completed!” Yue Feng stood up, taking a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.

Zhou Jie tentatively asked, “Shall we continue fishing?”

Yue Feng shook his head, “This afternoon’s trip has been satisfying and it’s getting late.

Why don’t we head back to camp?

I am a bit tired and soaked with sweat!

I’ll change my clothes once we get back!”

There were at least two hours left before it got dark, but it would take almost an hour to get back, and it wouldn’t be very safe after dark, which was why Zhou Jie asked that question.

Unexpectedly, Yue Feng didn’t hesitate and nodded his agreement—to return to camp!

“To all the brothers who have been following the live stream all this time!

That’s it for this afternoon’s broadcast.

Tomorrow I will continue the live stream of our fishing adventure in the Amazon!

Tonight’s theme is a cooking show, so stick around for some entertainment!

I plan to conquer the Amazon Rainforest with our domestic Chinese home cooking!

Signing off now, see you tomorrow!”

After ending the live stream, Yue Feng let out a sigh of relief!

Struggling continuously in the temperature of over thirty degrees, Yue Feng was able to endure, but his body was now extremely fatigued.

After ending the live stream, he naturally sat down in the cabin, waiting for the Captain to take them back to camp.

“Actually, we could have taken that big bucktooth fish back with us!” Zhou Jie said quietly, sitting next to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng smiled, “Take it back for what?”

Zhou Jie replied, “What I mean is, the local government isn’t really that strict about this stuff!

Fabio definitely wouldn’t rat us out!

It’s pretty rare to see such a big bucktooth!”

Yue Feng shook his head, “Do you think I did the live release just for show?

Not at all!

Not long ago, the giant mutant Gerard salmon that was over six meters long, caught from Kanas Lake in our country, was fished up by me and the survey team!

We also planned to release it!

But the big guy was too exhausted and lacking oxygen and died, so we had no choice but to give up.”

On hearing this, Zhou Jie was full of question marks, “Huh?

What was your consideration?

To be honest, I’ve received many compatriots from China!

No matter what they catch, they rarely choose to release it voluntarily, even the Giant Bone Tongue Fish, which has become extremely rare now, they always want to take it back and try it!

Fabio has complained to me many times privately about this!

In this respect, our countrymen haven’t left a very good impression on him!”

Yue Feng replied, “That’s precisely why I cannot tarnish the image of our country’s fishermen!

The fisheries resources in our country are scarce.

Take the river in our town as an example.

If you can fish three to five pounds of Crucian carp in a day, that’s pretty good.

If you’re lucky enough to encounter a Carp, it’s like hitting the jackpot!

What I can do as an individual is limited, but now that I have the live stream, I can communicate with anglers from all over the world.

I want to influence them with my actions, to join me in fostering the mindset of taking only what’s needed and practicing catch and release.

Releasing it may seem like losing something, but for me, what’s gained is much more!”
