583: Chapter 570: 218.2 kg Satan Catfish 583: Chapter 570: 218.2 kg Satan Catfish “Damn, the fish can actually pull the boat around, how big must this guy be!”

“Here’s to Yue Feng catching a catfish that sets a world record in advance!”

“Did he hook the legendary devil’s duckbill catfish?

The kind that weighs hundreds of pounds!”

“Such a thick line, such a stout rod, facing it head-on!

Can’t it be pulled?”

“The guy upstairs must be a fool, Yue Feng said when he started fishing that he wanted to challenge the world record.

If you were to confront it head-on, on such a small boat, a single person definitely couldn’t wrestle with such a big fish!

It seems like according to the rules, if other friends are hugging around the waist to help, it wouldn’t count as a solo catch!”

“So now, just let the fish drag the boat around the open water?”

“Don’t think Yue Feng is quietly having an easy time, it’s actually very tiring, holding the rod and standing in a horse stance, his posture is definitely spot on!”

“I have a feeling, the fish underwater is out of luck today, Yue Feng is not giving it any chance!”

For a solid one and a half hours, the big fish kept pulling the boat in a frenzied escape, its swimming speed finally slowed down.

Yue Feng slightly adjusted to release some tension and tried to reel in some line, and at last, he could pull it!

Initially, it was very difficult to reel in the line!

Another half-hour passed; the big guy was finally completely exhausted.

Under the crazy reeling of the winch, it was pulled up to the surface.

A wave the size of a small car appeared on the surface, followed by a big creature surfacing before everyone’s eyes.

“Holy shit!”

“What in the world!”

“What the heck is this?

Did we catch a whale?”

“One word, huge!”

No wonder the viewers exclaimed about the fish’s size; even Yue Feng felt that this one was frighteningly large.

Under the irradiation of the strong flashlight, the size and color of the big creature were clearly visible.

Its fatty back seemed even wider than a pig, its skin greyish-black, presenting a visual feel similar to a shark.

Its huge mouth was flat like a duck’s bill, and on each side above the mouth’s slit were two robust whiskers, about as thick as a pencil.

Underneath its chin, you could faintly make out a few similar whiskers.

After a long struggle, the big fish was completely out of strength.

Its upper and lower jaws kept opening and closing, and Yue Feng was quite sure, after another round or two of this, the fish would definitely be floating belly up.

“Zhou Jie, ask the captain, what should we do with this fish?

I need to do an accurate weighing and measurement!” Yue Feng said, panting heavily, his muscles quivering unconsciously.

Zhou Jie discussed quietly with the captain and Barbaro for a few sentences, then said: “Barbaro says that this big fish is probably the biggest individual caught in these waters in recent years.

If you want an accurate weigh, we need to drag the fish back to the camp, where they have a specialized weighing stretcher and mechanical scales!”

Like with the last big-toothed one, just one fish had completely worn out Yue Feng; he had also been out for a long time.

Since the size was big enough, then first back to the camp!

After all, there was still at least the next night’s time!

Yue Feng nodded: “Alright, then let’s go back to camp to weigh!

Does this big fellow need to be secured?

Don’t want it running away halfway!”

Barbaro took it upon himself to handle the task of securing the giant fish.

He pulled an oil-soaked rope from his waist, which was slightly thicker than a ballpoint pen refill.

In no time at all, he threaded it through the gills and tied up the fish using the method Yue Feng had used on Big Qing.

He swiftly secured the fish and then tied the other end of the rope to a fixed catch on the gunwale.

Trailing behind the fishing boat was a giant catfish at least two to three meters long.

The viewers in the live stream probably witnessed such a scene for the first time, providing a very strong visual impact.

About an hour later, the fishing boat returned to the makeshift dock near the campsite.

Fabio and Barbaro called over some guards from the camp, got a large stretcher, and figured out how to get the fish onto the shore.

Having had similar experiences, the group worked efficiently without panic; two men entered the water to lift the fish while two others on the shore assisted.

Quickly, they managed to get the large creature onto land.

Yue Feng: “Hello, everyone, I’m outdoor fisherman Yue Feng!

We’re currently fishing at a campsite in the Amazon Basin.

Tonight, we joined some local friends to take on a giant catfish, the Duck-billed Satan!

What you’re seeing now is a live feed through satellite signal of the big fish coming ashore!

Next, we need to perform a routine data collection on this big fellow!”

Barbaro brought a tape measure and a heavy-duty mechanical scale to quickly collect data on the fish.

Measuring the fish, the total length from tail to the tip of its mouth was 313.7 cm.

That’s sixty centimeters longer than what the viewers in the live stream had estimated.

After measuring the length, four strong men pushed the fish onto a specially made canvas stretcher, then lifted it together to weigh it.

The final result displayed a total weight of 218.2 kg!

“A catfish over four hundred thirty pounds!

Feng bro is awesome!”

“Who was it earlier that said Feng bro dragging the fish with the boat was wrong?

With a fish that weighs over four hundred pounds and a small boat, if it were you, you’d be pulled straight into the water!”

“The upstairs comment is spot on!

This size of a catfish must also rank as daddy-level among freshwater fish, right?

It was Feng bro’s foresight to battle with the fish on his own the entire time!”

After weighing the fish, Yue Feng directed everyone to release the fish back into the water.

Yue Feng explained, “In the Amazon, these medium to large catfish are an important source of meat for the local people, and there are no restrictions on normal fishing and killing.

But we don’t lack this meat.

As usual, after weighing and data collection, the fish is released!

I, Yue Feng, have always said, I hope all fishing enthusiasts can protect our fishing resources as much as they can within their capability!

Even in the distant lands of the Amazon, the same holds true!

Now, let’s check the health of the fish, and if there are no problems, we’ll release it!”

Yue Feng and Zhou Jie worked together to push the fish back into the water, watching by its side for a while.

Catfish have extremely strong vitality, and they can survive in places with low oxygen and poor water quality.

Having been towed by the boat back to the campsite and overall not showing extreme signs of oxygen deficiency, Yue Feng quickly released the fish after untying the rope.

In less than five minutes, the big guy flipped over.

Since Yue Feng was pulled to his arms by the previous fish, he learned and smartly avoided the angle where the fish exerted its strength.

The fish gently wagged its tail and slowly moved into deeper waters, soon disappearing from the drone’s camera view.
