Chapter 575 - 575 562 Single Hook Chunk of Meat

575: Chapter 562: Single Hook Chunk of Meat 575: Chapter 562: Single Hook Chunk of Meat “Damn, Giant Bone Tongue Fish?

Is it that thing that can grow to a few hundred pounds?”

“These creatures must be rare by now, I remember seeing on the forums that the Giant Bone Tongue Fish is a protected species in that area!”

“After travelling such a long distance, I definitely have to take on the challenge.

I’m waiting for Yue Feng to give us a spectacular and more thrilling fishing experience!”

Yue Feng casually picked up the Heroic Pole that had played a big role yesterday, and switched to a larger sinking Minnow lure to try, but Fabio nearby shook his head at him.

Yue Feng: “What’s up?”

Zhou Jie explained, “This area of water is quite deep.

Even if there are no Giant Bone Tongue Fish, there might be other big fish, so this type of lure might not be the best choice!”

“Then?

Any good suggestions?” Yue Feng’s attention was immediately piqued upon hearing about big fish.

“It’s best to use meat!

Fresh fish meat will do!

It will be much more efficient!”

Hearing that meat should be used, Yue Feng didn’t have any aversion.

Although he used the Lure Fishing Method, he wasn’t as stubborn as those lure masters.

The earthworm faction almost became a street rat in China, but in Yue Feng’s view, it was totally unnecessary.

Being able to fish more efficiently makes one a skilled angler.

As for the rest, those are just unnecessary constraints people put on themselves.

Yue Feng didn’t care.

“Alright, then let’s catch some small fish for bait!” Yue Feng nodded.

His gaze swept over the distance, and he naturally swung the fishing rod, casting the Minnow out.

This direction was where the deep water zone met the shallow water area.

Under the Hunter’s Eye perspective, there was a ripple on the surface in this area just now, which likely meant there was some sort of predatory fish moving underneath.

The sinking Minnow is a very practical lure.

It’s easy to work with; as long as you find the right depth in the water layer, reeling in at a steady pace could produce a good swimming motion.

If you added some slight teasing techniques, the swimming would look even more fluid and natural.

On the second cast, Yue Feng felt a sudden weight sink down under the water; there was a fish on the hook.

The depth he had searched for previously was about 7 to 8 seconds after the Minnow hit the water, roughly two to less than three meters deep.

After hooking the fish, Yue Feng forcefully lifted the rod to set the hook and quickly got the fish under control.

The fish wasn’t big, just around one and a half pounds.

It was a silver-white Piranha with a slightly red belly, now hooked and reeled in.

Yue Feng: “Damn, we’re pretty lucky!

The first fish is a white Piranha!

The size is average, but it’s enough for bait!”

Originally thinking this was quite an interesting catch, the live stream chat began to tease.

“Damn, I thought it was some impressive species, but isn’t this just the White Pompano we also have in our country?”

“Really, it does look like it!

We usually use steel hooks with chicken intestines to fish for these!

Turns out they can also be caught with lures!”

“The White Pompano is originally from the Amazon, but they do taste pretty good!

The meat is tender!”

Yue Feng glanced at the live chat and quickly pulled the fish up near his feet.

After clamping it with the fish gripper to take a look, Yue Feng laughed at the fish’s mouth.

Black Piranhas and Red Belly Water Tiger Teeth are sharply triangular, but the teeth of the fish he had just caught were flat, giving it a comical look like it had thick lips and tiny teeth.

No wonder the viewers were so calm.

After seeing tigers, who cares about a sick cat?

Yue Feng curled his lip: “I’d feel bad if it were another fish, but this one is perfect for cutting up into bait.

Let’s leave this bloody job to our Captain.

No need to rush, guys.

Let Fabio take care of it while I switch to a larger single hook!”

Fabio was quite adept at preparing the fish, skillfully carving out a large chunk of meat with a small knife in just a few swift movements.

Yue Feng, on the other hand, immediately swapped out the fake bait and fashioned a large single hook right on the spot.

He simply attached the chunk of meat to the single hook.

It was brutish in its simplicity, yet a bit unwieldy to cast.

Yue Feng rummaged through his toolbox, grabbed a couple of split-shot weights to secure onto the hook shank, and after a brief trial, the feel of it was almost right.

“Brothers, we’re now using a homemade single hook rig.

Following the captain’s suggestion, we’ve hung a chunk of meat!

Let’s throw out a line and see if there’s any big fella in these waters!”

After making this announcement, Yue Feng cast out the chunk of meat.

The feel of the meat was even better than expected, and he managed to cast it out over twenty meters on his first try.

With this setup, Yue Feng wasn’t in a hurry to reel in.

He waited for the bait to sink slowly to the bottom before considering his next move.

The resistance of the meat made reeling in noticeably rough, but that was insignificant.

The real concern for Yue Feng was whether he could catch any fish or not.

The first trial cast brought back no bites, so Yue Feng turned and cast in a different direction.

After three consecutive casts without so much as a nibble, Yue Feng started to feel discouraged.

“What’s the matter?

Is the white pompano meat no good?

Don’t the big fish like it?”

“To come up empty on so many casts—that’s not like Brother Feng.

We should at least get a bite!”

“This is nothing unusual.

It’s normal not to catch anything in three or five casts.

When we go out for lure fishing, sometimes we cast all day long, changing many spots, and still end up as the Air Force!

If we had Amazon-level resources here in our country, the fishermen would go insane!”

Just then, Yue Feng noticed a string of bubbles of varying sizes rising at the nine o’clock position in front of him.

Yue Feng smiled at the camera, “I think I’ve spotted the prey.

No more noise, guys.

Let’s change spots and give it a try!

This might be the moment we witness a miracle!”

In Taiwan fishing, signs of fish activity are bubbles, and in the Amazon, the fish also produce bubbles.

Without hesitation, Yue Feng cast his line towards the bubbles.

The meat with the hook sank slowly into the water and continued descending until it hit bottom.

Only then did Yue Feng begin to reel in.

Instead of reeling in steadily like the previous casts, Yue Feng added teasing jerks and abrupt stops into the action.

Within seconds, Yue Feng felt a heavy pull on the rod tip—he had a bite!

He set the hook, but it felt as if he had snagged a rotten tree root—motionless and stuck.

Could he be snagged on the bottom?

Something was amiss!

As Yue Feng was pondering this, the fish below started moving.

It moved with immense strength though not a fast swimmer, akin to having the hook caught on the backside of a plodding old ox in the fields.

“Holy shit, he actually got a fish!

Brother Feng is the man!”

“Brother Feng is mighty and dominant!”

“What kind of fish is it?

The way it’s acting is so weird—it’s so slow!”

Yue Feng hastily loosened the drag a bit and, grasping the rod tightly, turned to ask Zhou Jie, “Damn it, what the hell is this thing!

It swims so slowly but has incredible strength!

At this rate, it’ll spool me soon.”
