Chapter 703 - 703 690 The Unexpected Big Fish

703: Chapter 690: The Unexpected Big Fish 703: Chapter 690: The Unexpected Big Fish Seeing there was no point in lingering, Yue Feng called out to David and continued to steer the boat toward other areas.

Throughout the process, Yue Feng removed and reinstalled three hooks in full view of David, making him the only American who understood how Yue Feng managed to catch fish so effortlessly without losing bait.

The more David understood, the more shocked he felt.

The precision Yue Feng achieved in casting was beyond David’s comprehension!

After all, having fished his entire life, he was sure he could not do it, and neither could any of his expert fishing friends reach such extreme accuracy!

Indeed, a man favored by his own boss was no ordinary individual.

David politely asked, “Respected Mr.

Yue Feng, looking at the time, most notable spots in the lake must have been taken over by the competing anglers by now.

Should we continue to other recorded spots or just roam around and try our luck?”

Yue Feng glanced at the time, it was almost eleven, time had flown by!

He hardly felt it, but the competition was already halfway through.

“Let’s just roam around, but not too fast!

Don’t let those guys behind us fall too far behind,” Yue Feng said.

“As you wish!”

David slowed down the speed of the fishing boat, moving smoothly across the lake as if strolling on the street.

The “wolf pack,” having lost many lures, still hadn’t given up.

They quickly followed Yue Feng’s boat after it changed positions, but this time, the judge’s boat didn’t follow and instead received orders from other patrol commanders on shore to turn back and leave!

The fishing boat traveled on the lake for a long time, and Yue Feng hardly found any valuable fishing areas.

He didn’t know why the best locations only had a faint green light, with no blue, resource-rich areas at all.

“Let’s change direction, is there any decent area near the shore we can try?” Yue Feng suggested.

With a vast water body like in this competition, the first choice was always various marked spots in the lake.

If these spots had been scavenged, it was time to change the strategy.

His former fishing mindset kept Yue Feng’s mind clear; oftentimes, more target fish didn’t necessarily mean heading toward the lake center.

Nearshore areas also potentially harbored many target fish.

Based on this judgment, the Black Pearl, following Yue Feng’s instructions, headed towards the western shore at the edge of their field of view, with Joe Smith and several other boats still trailing behind.

Upon reaching the west shore, Yue Feng’s guess proved correct.

There were no fishing boats near the shore, but rather a blue marked area was discovered!

“Move the boat a bit south, about thirty meters or so and stop there!

We might try our luck here!” Yue Feng instructed David to adjust the boat’s position, ready to fish.

By the shore, with unclear obstacles, Yue Feng could only rely on the advantage of being the first to arrive to choose fishing positions to protect his own spot!

The competition rules did not limit the number of anglers per spot, but it clearly stated that interference with other anglers during fishing was prohibited!

Moving the boat and adjusting the angle could make the center of this spot to be on his side.

If other boats stopped nearby and wished to cast their lines, they would have to keep moving south or cast against the wind toward his side.

Otherwise, they were left with no choice but to cast near Yue Feng’s boat, where their fishing lines would cross from the left side over the position of Yue Feng’s boat, which according to the rules, would interfere with Yue Feng’s fishing and constitute a violation!

Once the boat was in the position Yue Feng had chosen, he couldn’t wait to cast his lure.

The next few casts were also great opportunities to establish dominance.

If his rivals were slow to arrive, and found Yue Feng reeling in a fish, their morale would surely collapse.

The competition had escalated beyond mere scores; it was now a matter of face and dignity.

Yue Feng was not planning to give the poorly skilled Americans any quarter.

The lure landed precisely at the predetermined spot, and Yue Feng calmly waited for it to sink before reeling in.

Just as the lure reached the bottom and stopped casting out the line, the next second Yue Feng immediately felt an exaggerated strong force coming from underwater.

This sensation exceeded the power of the Big Mouth Bass he had caught earlier by a lot.

If the effect of the rod’s action was excluded, it was almost comparable to the feel of catching a large Peacock Bass in the Amazon previously.

The earlier adjusted drag started releasing line crazily, the underwater force hugely surpassing the drag’s limit, rendering the drag almost ineffective now.

In fishing for species ranging from one to five kilograms, Yue Feng used a No.

2 PE line.

A standard No.

2 PE line has a tensile value of around 20 pounds, but the line Yue Feng used was purchased from the System Mall by spending Points and had about a 30% performance increase.

This meant that the actual tensile strength of the fishing line was near 25 pounds.

With such strength in the line, it was easy to cope with fish weighing up to a dozen pounds using the fishing rod and reel.

The weakest link in the entire fishing rig was not the fishing line but the smaller, Size 3 hooks that were temporarily replaced.

Facing such a huge impact, Yue Feng was unsure if these thin hooks could hold up.

“David, hoist the anchor!

I’ve hooked a super big fish,!” Yue Feng while adjusting the drag to slow down the line release, called out to the captain.

The hooks being too small, Yue Feng dared not confront the fish head-on, and instead opted to cautiously tighten the drag to delay the line release, buying time for the boat to retrieve the anchor.

David, having heard the frenzied sound of the line being taken earlier, swiftly acted on Yue Feng’s command and began retracting the recently lowered anchor.

It took about twenty seconds to lift the anchor, by which time most of the fishing line in Yue Feng’s reel had been emptied, with less than fifty meters left on the spool.

“What’s next?”

Yue Feng: “The hooks are too fine, I’m afraid they’ll get straightened out!

So I need you to drive the boat to assist in steering the fish!

Now, steer the boat in a direction perpendicular to the line tension at 90 degrees!

I’ll first reel in some line before we proceed!

The fish is very powerful, we need to be cautious!”

The tactic sounds complex, but really it’s just like the Eight-character Sliding Fish Method; controlling the fish at 90 degrees is much more effective than at 0 or 180 degrees.

Both seasoned veterans, once Yue Feng shared his plan, David quickly understood, nodded an ‘ok’, and began maneuvering the boat.

Seeing Yue Feng’s series of reactions, the live-stream viewers instantly got thrilled!

“Big fish!

This one is definitely a monster!

Son lied!”

“Feng brother is serious this time!

He was all smiles just a moment ago, and now his lips are pursed!”

“Are there predatory big fish in this lake?

Not sure if it’s a Big Mouth Bass, just heard Feng brother mention earlier, sounded like it’s the heaviest by itself!”
