Fishing Livestream
Chapter 582 - 582 569 Setting Sail and Slipping Fish

582: Chapter 569: Setting Sail and Slipping Fish 582: Chapter 569: Setting Sail and Slipping Fish Barbaro’s method of using chicken insides as bait was quite unique.

Although it looked awkward, it was very practical in actual fishing.

The big catfish that had just been caught had almost no damage to the bait after the hook was removed.

After soaking in the water for a while, it still smelled unbearably foul.

After checking that the bait was fine, Yue Feng cast his fishing rod again in the direction Barbaro had indicated and patiently waited.

In the Amazon Rainforest, day and night are completely different worlds.

The sky was already pitch-black, and from time to time, one could hear strange bird calls and animal noises deep in the forest.

Yue Feng was awkwardly chatting with his viewers in the livestream, while Fengfeng, utterly bored, was randomly shining a flashlight over the side of the boat.

After shining the light for a while, Fengfeng called out, “Wow, Fengfeng, look, there are so many beautiful little fish in the water!”

As they waited for the big fish to bite, Fengfeng had accidentally found more highlights for the livestream.

Yue Feng looked in the direction of the light and, sure enough, in the slow-flowing area beside the vessel, there were various small fish swimming around.

During the day, these fish would have hidden to avoid predators, but at night it was safer, so they came out to swim.

They weren’t too sensitive to light; even when caught in the beam, they didn’t immediately flee but just drifted and swam slowly.

Yue Feng said, “While waiting for the big fish to bite, let’s not just sit idle.

Let’s show everyone the native Amazonian wild fish!

Do we have any ornamental fish experts in the livestream?

Let’s play a spot-the-fish game today!”

“That sounds fun!

The swift we caught during the day was really pretty!”

“I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but I recognize most common ornamental fish!

Feng, do you have any fishing tools?

It would be great if we could catch some to show everyone!”

Yue Feng asked Zhou Jie about it.

Zhou Jie rummaged through the captain’s toolbox and found a small fine-mesh net.

“It’s a bit rudimentary, but let’s try to catch some!

I’ll assign this task to Fengfeng.

I’ll handle the lighting, and she can do the catching for everyone!”

Yue Feng signaled to go ahead, took the outdoor flashlight from Fengfeng, who was quite excited and happily took on the task.

We thought the small fish would struggle a bit—at least give the catcher some respect—but in reality, after being illuminated in the center of the flashlight’s beam, these fish had no notion of escaping.

It was even easier than scooping goldfish at a fair!

“Haha, look at this, what kind of fish is this?

It’s quite pretty!” Fengfeng casually took a small fish out of the net and showed it to the viewers in the livestream.

This little fish was quite interesting too.

It had a pointed mouth, and its scales shimmered with a faint metallic luster.

Although small, it looked very pretty, like a tiny metallic mouse.

“This little fish is quite interesting, looks quite unique too!”

“Is that shiny layer on the outside bony scales?

Does anyone know what this fish is called?”

“Bronze Mice Fish!

A very classic species, just this tiny one was in the four figures when it was first introduced domestically!”

“Mice fish, indeed, it does resemble one with its pointed mouth!” Fengfeng liked this little thing and fiddled with it for a while, not willing to put it back in the water but instead found a large bottle to keep it in.

“Fengfeng, over here, there’s a very unique fish, come catch it!” Yue Feng shouted as he illuminated another fish, bigger than the previous one, with the flashlight.

Fengfeng hurried over and scooped it up in no time.

As the fish came out of the water, its colors became apparent under the light, causing Yue Feng to be slightly stunned.

Yue Feng exclaimed, “Damn, what fish is this?

The pale blue pattern on its body is so beautiful!”

“Wild colors!

Wild Seven-colored Angel Fish!

This fish is a classic ornamental fish, with a plump body and colorful patterns on its tail and fins!”

“This one is a Spotted Peruvian Swift!”

“Wow, this is a Leopard Mice Fish”

…

Yue Feng simply circled around the boat and captured several kinds of ornamental fish that the livestream viewers could name.

There were indeed hidden talents among the people.

After fishing for a bunch of inconspicuous small fish, Yue Feng and the viewers interacted until they were tired; time had unknowingly passed by more than an hour.

Such a long time without a big fish biting the bait had Yue Feng beginning to doubt whether there were any big fish at this spot at all!

“Zhou Jie, ask Barbaro if it’s a problem that we haven’t had a bite for so long.

If not, let’s change locations and continue fishing!” Yue Feng asked politely.

Zhou Jie relayed Yue Feng’s concerns, and unexpectedly, Barbaro just smiled and shook his head.

Zhou Jie, “Barbaro says that not having small fish bite the bait for a long time is actually a sign that this is a spot for big fish!

Big fish have territories too!

In areas where they frequent, the number of small fish will significantly decrease!

Let’s wait a bit longer; a miracle might happen!”

With that explanation, Yue Feng could accept it.

It was similar to the reasoning for waiting for big fish in freshwater; when big fish start settling in, the small fish naturally disappear.

Could there really be big fish nearby?

Just as the livestream viewers were getting drowsy from waiting, the fishing rod on the ship’s rail suddenly started trembling again.

Yue Feng, who was holding the rod, reacted instantly, perking up.

“There’s a fish attacking our bait!” Yue Feng hurriedly called out.

No sooner had he said “bait” than he heard the heavy reel start wildly reeling out line!

Seeing this, Yue Feng pulled the rod with tremendous force to hook the fish.

As he struck the fish, Yue Feng felt an exceptionally strong force from underwater; the fish darted and swam wildly, giving no sense of hesitation the moment he hooked, almost as if the tiny hook had caught a wildly fleeing, hefty pig.

The next second, the fish underwater picked up speed again, and the heavy reel rapidly spooled out line.

In less than ten seconds, it had already spooled out fifty meters!

“A big one!” Yue Feng tightened the drag, gripping the rod tightly with both hands.

The 300-pound test nylon line was continuously pulled taut by the large fish underwater, and the heavy-duty rod was completely bent.

Yue Feng felt that his strength was utterly insufficient compared to the large fish’s, and the rod felt like it could slip out of his hands at any moment.

The fish showed no signs of turning back!

“It’s no use, Zhou Jie, tell the Captain to start the boat, I need help landing this fish!

The power of this big one is too great; I can’t face it head-on!”

“Okay!”

Once the anchor was raised, the huge fish started dragging the whole boat into a frenzied flight.

Fortunately, they were located at the junction of wide rivers.

If it had been a dense jungle fork, the fish would have darted into the woods and escaped.

They still didn’t know how big the fish was, but the viewers in the livestream were going wild again!
