Chapter 705 - 705 692 Mutated Big Mouth Bass

705: Chapter 692: Mutated Big Mouth Bass 705: Chapter 692: Mutated Big Mouth Bass “David, do we have a bigger landing net on board?

This one is a bit small, and I’m afraid something might go wrong!”

“Hold on, I’ve got a larger fish controller!” David responded, steadying the boat and emerging from the cockpit with a large fish controller in hand.

When he saw the fish by the side of the boat, David couldn’t help but exclaim, “God.”

This beast had exceeded the size of any Big Mouth Bass David had ever seen.

“Big Mouth Bass competitions don’t allow help with netting the fish, so you need to bring it up yourself.

This fish controller works on the same principle as the smaller one, find the thicker part of the fish’s mouth, lock it, and support it with the smaller net below, you should be able to pull it up!” David said, his eyes never leaving the beast.

Yue Feng took the fish controller and tried operating it, seemed fine, it could work.

The next second, he was almost leaning over the gunwale, holding the rod in his right hand and the fish controller in his left, locking onto the fish’s mouth, then powering through with his core, not even needing the landing net, he simply hoisted the fish on board.

Up close, Yue Feng realized that this Big Mouth Bass’s mouth was much thicker than that of ordinary individuals, a bone-like structure, firmly secured once locked, not at all worried about the fish controller ripping it open.

Once the fish was on board, its actual size seemed much larger than when seen in the water.

About one meter twenty in length, it looked nothing but bulky, meaty!

Judging from the feel of pulling the fish aboard, it must weigh around thirty pounds.

In the United States, weight is measured in pounds, one market catty is roughly equivalent to about 1.1 pounds.

This means, the estimated weight of this fish exceeded thirty-three pounds, a feat never seen before in the history of world records!

“According to the competition procedures, next we need to measure its length!

A standard ruler definitely won’t do, we’ll have to use a measuring tape!

Let’s see just how long this big guy is!”

Yue Feng waved at David and then measured the fish in front of the camera on board.

124cm!

“We’re lucky, the fish was so big it swallowed the whole lure!

Both treble hooks were firmly caught!

Now we’ll just take the hooks out and get it quickly into the live well, as per the rules of the competition, a dead fish won’t count towards the score no matter how big it is!”

After a brief introduction, Yue Feng took out the Lure pliers from his waist, carefully removed the lure from inside the fish’s mouth, and then placed the fish into the live well with both hands.

“There’s still about half an hour left according to the competition’s end time, but to avoid any mishaps, let’s head back to shore now!

Captain David, could you please get in touch with the competition organizers on shore, let’s hurry back!”

David nodded, “As far as I know, the current U.S.

record for the largest Big Mouth Bass is 21.7 pounds, a record that hasn’t been broken in over a decade!

With a fish this large, even if it doesn’t count towards this state competition, it’s enough to challenge the world Big Mouth Bass record!

I’ll contact the shore right away!”

In fact, David didn’t need to make the initial contact himself; the young black lady who had been keeping an eye on the catch had already reported the scene to the competition’s senior management.

Catching a Big Mouth Bass exceeding one meter twenty in a state competition, this news could make it to the top of the U.S.

trending searches and shake the entire country!

After the report, a work team quickly initiated an emergency plan.

The large fish had a particularly high demand for oxygen, and if not handled properly, it could easily get injured or even die during the weighing process.

Thus, a set of large weighing equipment and oxygen-supply containers were dispatched to the shore, where seven or eight staffers waited eagerly.

About twenty minutes later, the Black Pearl returned to the temporary dock by the lake.

Before even disembarking, they could already see many long and short cameras set up on the dock, all belonging to various clubs and fishing magazine media personnel who had come to record material as soon as they got the news.

Seeing so many people waiting, Yue Feng didn’t feel much, but Captain David had a stern look on his face.

“My guest is an angler from China, and he does not wish to meet everyone in this way!

No one is allowed to take pictures or conduct interviews without his authorization and approval!”

Like a stubborn old man, Captain David stood firmly in front of Yue Feng without any attempt to be diplomatic!

“Oh, damn, how could I forget this!

I’m terribly sorry, esteemed Captain David!

I apologize for my earlier presumptuousness to you and your friend!”

Hearing Captain David lose his temper, the African American lady’s direct superior hurriedly apologized.

After glancing at the middle-aged man, Captain David nodded and said, “The fish is in the live fish tank on the boat, and I want you to find a sufficiently authoritative expert to identify the species and take precise measurements!

As for others unrelated to the competition, all must leave!

If you don’t want a lawsuit, keep your gadgets in check!

Even a silhouette is not allowed in your publications!”

After this outburst, the many previously excited journalists and media personnel began to lament.

Yue Feng didn’t know what this was all about, but he was certain that Captain David wouldn’t put him in a bad spot.

The situation was quite different between domestic and foreign contexts, so following the captain’s lead was undoubtedly the right choice.

Upon Captain David’s request, a white-haired elderly Caucasian man soon arrived.

“This is Old Sean, the top fish expert from the University of Miami!

He can make an accurate judgment of the fish’s species!” the middle-aged man introduced.

Old Sean wore black-framed glasses and had the particular air of a scholar in his gaze.

The workers brought the fish-keeping equipment onto the boat, then transferred the fish to a professional container.

A large amount of air was pressurized by the compressor pump, then fed into the bottom of the container to form fine bubbles, supplying plenty of oxygen to the water.

The principle was simple, but it was much more precise than domestic oxygenating decorations.

The big fellow was in great shape, having struggled forcefully when it was initially taken out.

Returning to the water, the fish finally calmed down a bit.

Old Sean observed this unusually large Big Mouth Bass for a long time, not giving any specific opinion for the moment.

“What’s the situation?

Mr.

Sean, is this a Big Mouth Bass?” the middle-aged executive asked, puzzled.

Sean replied, “In terms of physiological structure, this big fish matches the fundamental structure of a Big Mouth Bass!

But there is a significant difference in the proportions of its length to width!

Moreover, compared to other Big Mouth Basses, the pattern on its body is also different!

Among the subspecies of Big Mouth Bass identified so far, none match its features exactly!”

“So, this is not a Big Mouth Bass?”

“It is a Big Mouth Bass!

My initial judgment is that this fish has undergone some unknown mutation!

Leading it to grow beyond the genetic limits of its original species and continue to grow larger!

The change in structural proportions occurred only after it surpassed the limit of the individual!”

“A mutated Big Mouth Bass?”

“Correct!

A more precise conclusion will require detailed research.

If it’s possible, I would like to take some live tissue cells and blood for study!”
