Fishing Livestream
Chapter 610 - 610 597 Releasing with the Fish Hook Attached

610: Chapter 597: Releasing with the Fish Hook Attached 610: Chapter 597: Releasing with the Fish Hook Attached It must be said that Gu Tianqing has a natural sharp sense for live broadcasting and the camera, especially when it comes to controlling the content of the broadcast, which is just a tad stronger than Yue Feng.

Releasing a shark during a live broadcast is a highly challenging task for most fishing streamers.

Sharks are scarce in coastal waters, and there’s no signal in the open sea.

Even if some viewers have seen similar content, it’s through prerecorded videos, which is quite different from the atmosphere of cutting the line and releasing the shark live!

Yue Feng nodded and said to the public channel, “Guys, let’s see how the shark is released.

Keep your eyes peeled!”

The camera zoomed in as the Captain held a sharp small knife in his hand, leaning over from the shorter side of the boat to reach the fish’s mouth, waiting for Adong to pull the shark closer.

This shark was about one and a half meters long, and as it was pulled up to the surface, it still had some energy, flipping its tail and wriggling, with its fine and dense teeth visible in the camera.

The Captain, holding the main line with his left hand, waited for the right moment and then swiftly slid the knife over the hook where it was tied to the bottom of the leader line.

The line was severed, and with a flip, the shark disappeared from the surface of the water.

“That’s it?

It’s released?

The move was pretty cool, but the hook is still in its mouth!”

“Holy shit, I saw that shark’s teeth, almost triggered my trypophobia!”

“Is this what they call a professional release?

Not even removing the hook, and with such a big hook stuck in its mouth with barbs, won’t that cause the fish problems or infections?”

It was only meant to be a demonstration of the release, but in the next second, the viewers in the live chat started a new rhythm.

The core point of concern was whether it was a problem to cut the leader line and leave the hook in the shark’s mouth.

Yue Feng explained with a smile, “You all saw the size of that hook just now.

You might think that leaving it in the fish’s mouth would cause problems, but actually, it’s no issue at all!”

“Forced explanation?

How can there be no problem?

Such a big hook stuck in its mouth, how painful must that be for the fish?

I usually support Feng, but I can’t accept this explanation!”

“I’m also curious, will it fall off on its own?

That seems unlikely, the big hooks used for sea fishing all have barbs!

Sharks don’t have hands to take it out themselves, seems tough!”

Yue Feng continued, “Actually, you’ve all misunderstood something.

Let me finish explaining!

Sea fishing is a sport that’s popular worldwide.

What we can think of, those pioneers have already considered!

The hooks used for catching large marine fish are made from specially formulated alloys!

These hooks are incredibly strong and tough, but there’s one thing, they don’t resist the corrosion of seawater!

In just a few days, the hook in the shark’s mouth will corrode and shrink, easily falling off.

So the hook issue everyone is concerned about, is not a problem!”

“I knew it!

Our Captain has been fishing all his life, if he wasn’t sure, he wouldn’t do something so amateurish!”

“Misjudged Feng!

My knowledge was too limited.

I’m embarrassed!”

“Embarrassed +1, I never knew that the hooks could be corroded by sea water, that’s a smart way to deal with many issues!”

Yue Feng laughed, “Nothing to be embarrassed about.

I didn’t understand this stuff when I first started either, it was the boat crew who told me!

If you encounter problems, it’s good that you can raise them directly in the live chat, and having a bunch of sensible fans is always better than having ridiculous fans!

I should be thanking you all!”

“Haha, Brother Feng’s set-up is absolutely up to snuff!

Thumbs up!”

“The shark’s been released, so shouldn’t we continue to drop the jig?

Everyone’s still waiting to see us catch some fish!”

“Yeah, the shark doesn’t count as a valid catch, maybe we’ll hook something else!”

Yue Feng nodded, “Alright, then let’s give it another try!”

In the following hour or so, Yue Feng successively caught several small grouper, the kind that weigh about two or three pounds each.

Though a mosquito’s leg is still flesh, after all, and once they were caught, they had to be stored in the ice in the cabin.

After playing around with jigging for over three hours, when the time reached past five in the evening, even Yue Feng, with his grasp of exerting force with his whole body, was quite exhausted.

“Xiao Yue, let’s call it a day.

If you overdo it with jigging on your first time, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow,” said Gu Qingtian with experienced insight.

Yue Feng nodded, “Okay!

Let’s do as you say!

Time to head back!”

“Brothers in the live stream!

After discussing with Brother Gu, we’re preparing to pack up and head back now.

We’ll take the dragon grouper and star groupers back with us and fix them up tonight!

Later on, I’ll shoot some behind-the-scenes clips and post them under our account for those interested in knowing more.

That’s it for today’s live stream, we’ll continue tomorrow!

Goodbye!”

After ending the live stream, Yue Feng retrieved the drone, then plonked down on the deck, letting his muscles relax, feeling a bit weak.

“Feeling weak?

The deck is so dirty, get up.

If you’re tired, go rest inside!”

Yue Feng shook his head, “Just let me sit for a moment.

You were right when you said that jigging is hard work.

It’s really exhausting!”

Gu Qingtian smiled, “Your performance today was already perfect!

At least much better than my first time jigging at sea!

By the way, what brand is this live streaming equipment you’re using?

Does it connect to satellite signals?

It also lasted a long time and was so quiet!”

The drone had caught Big Brother Gu’s attention.

Yue Feng shook his head, “This equipment isn’t branded; it’s a non-civilian version that a friend helped me get through special channels!

The network it uses is also encrypted satellite; you can’t find it on the market!”

“No wonder!”

At Gu Qingtian’s level, he knew more than the average person.

Just the term “non-civilian version” said a lot.

It turned out this younger brother had such strong connections, even friends in the military from whom he could secure such high-end gear, not to mention use an encrypted satellite network.

In a moment, his estimation of Yue Feng rose a few notches.

As evening approached and darkness fell, the yacht successfully returned and docked at the harbor.

Yue Feng and the others got off the boat one after another and headed straight for their place of stay.

Once Yue Feng’s feet were back on solid ground, he felt an indescribable sense of solidity.

He rested a bit on the way, regaining some energy, but his lower back, arms, and other areas were starting to ache slightly.

No doubt, he would feel sore all over when he got up the next day.

The fish caught today were also brought ashore by the crew, and making dinner was promoted on the agenda.

With such big fish, half of one could make a whole table’s worth of dishes.

Gu Qingtian then gave the choice of cooking style to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng swept his hand magnanimously, “Let’s do it according to our Chinese style!” Having decided on the cooking method, Yue Feng headed back to his room to collapse.

No sooner had he just laid down when there came a knock at the door.
