Chapter 82 - 82 82 A Pound of Crucian Carp Connecting Rod

82: Chapter 82: A Pound of Crucian Carp Connecting Rod 82: Chapter 82: A Pound of Crucian Carp Connecting Rod “Done!

We’re having pickled fish tonight!” Liu Fengnian removed the hook and held up the fish for everyone to see.

The grass carp in the reservoir were beautiful, fully scaled and sleek, and although not particularly heavy, they were quite long, which indicated they were highly active and had firm muscles.

Yue Feng wasn’t much moved by catching silver carp, but when a grass carp took the bait, he couldn’t contain himself.

Immediately, he abandoned his plan to rest back in the woods and returned to his fishing spot with great enthusiasm.

Ding!

Congratulations, you’ve triggered a standard task!

“Initial Experience Of Reservoir Fishing”

“Initial Experience Of Reservoir Fishing”: During the fishing session in the reservoir, catch at least three different types of fish, including at least one weighing over five pounds.

If the task is completed well, extra rewards will be given!

Task Reward: Random.

As soon as his butt touched the fishing box, the system task automatically activated.

Yue Feng was slightly stunned, damn, it was like it was waiting for him here!

According to the system’s nature, each time he went to a new body of water or fishing spot, he generally triggered daily tasks.

Yue Feng had been somewhat hopeful when he arrived, but even after choosing a good spot, preparing it, and even setting up camp didn’t activate the system prompt; it turned out he needed to actually start fishing to meet the activation criteria.

Accept!

A new triggerable standard task automatically appeared in the task bar.

With a task at hand, Yue Feng’s spirits were even higher, and he immediately took a fishing umbrella out of his rod bag and began to fish in earnest.

“Yue, you’re not resting?” Liu Fengnian asked with a smile, intentionally probing Yue Feng.

Yue Feng scratched his head, “Grass carp are biting; who can resist that?

No sleep!

Let’s work!”

Liu Fengnian continued, “Reservoir fishing isn’t like Black Pit, you know.

The reservoir has a rich variety of fish, and you never know what you’ll get next on your rod!

Want to have a competition, let’s have a fish-off?”

Yue Feng nodded, “Sure, but let’s start from now.

That Grass Carp earlier doesn’t count!

Also, what’s the stake?”

Liu Fengnian said, “Whoever loses cooks dinner for everyone tonight!

Sound good?”

“Sure!” Yue Feng agreed readily.

“No problem!”

“Uh, the problem is, I can’t cook!” Ma Boqiang said with a helpless expression.

“If you can’t cook, you can help out!

Cleaning fish, sweeping, washing dishes, you can do those things!”

“That’s no problem!”

“Then it’s settled, by weight, and we’re not counting silver carp!

We’ll stop at five o’clock!”

“Okay, let’s start!”

These friend-to-friend fish-offs were rather fun.

Although there was no money lost, everyone took them seriously.

After all, those who loved fishing wanted to be acknowledged in this area.

Competing on an equal footing was perfect for satisfying their competitive urges.

Fishing at Cliff Dam was a bit different from Black Pit; Yue Feng was not as tense, casually rummaging through his fishing box and finding the Magic Corn he had recently acquired.

He casually took a few kernels, attached them to his 7.2-meter long rod, stood up, cast the line into his fishing spot, then hung the slip knot on the rod and casually placed it on a rod holder stuck into the ground beside him.

During slower times when the fish weren’t biting much, reservoir fishing could be quite dull, with perhaps hours passing without a single large fish taking the bait.

At such times, many anglers would make other choices.

For instance, Yue Feng was now using a long rod to fish for big fish, while also using a 3.6-meter short rod to fish near the water weeds in front of him.

The density of the crucian carp was greater, and there definitely would be more bites.

It wasn’t really about winning or losing at fishing; having bites meant at least it wasn’t too frustrating!

The crucian carp’s spot was set up roughly at the same time as the one for big fish.

After adjusting the line setup, Yue Feng casually opened a pack of commercial bait and began to fish using the lure.

Today’s live stream hadn’t started yet.

Originally, Yue Feng had planned to start the live stream when the fishing got better, but he changed his mind.

As long as there were plenty of crucian carp bites, he would start the live stream.

After upgrading his permissions, this was his first show.

Yue Feng was eager to see how many extra Points a live stream could bring him.

When Yue Feng cast his rod into the water, he didn’t have high expectations, but as soon as he found the bottom, the fish’s reaction on the short rod exceeded his expectations.

The very first cast during the official fishing session caught a fish!

The fish at the reservoir were feisty when biting.

For the first fish, in just the blink of an eye, the float had been pulled down completely.

Yue Feng hurriedly lifted the rod to hook the fish!

The force of the fish wasn’t exaggerated, but its activity underwater was intense; it darted back and forth a couple of rounds before the rod’s force brought it to the surface.

A crucian carp!

A big silvery gleaming crucian carp!

As soon as the crucian carp came out of the water, Yue Feng couldn’t help but get excited; it was just too beautiful.

With his right hand controlling the rod, he slightly turned and felt for the landing net behind him.

With a scoop and a pull, the crucian carp was in the net.

Only once he had the fish in his hands did Yue Feng realize it was much bigger than it had seemed in the water, plump and round, almost the size of an adult’s shoe bottom.

“Holy shit!

Yue, you got a fish so quickly!” Wang Dong, not far away, couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing it.

“These big crucian carp here are so fat; this one must be over a pound!” Yue Feng held the crucian carp in his hands, showing it to everyone.

“Isn’t that a bit cheeky, using both long and short rods?” Ma Boqiang, seeing the crucian carp in Yue Feng’s hands, was so envious that he immediately turned to rummage for his own short rod.

“There’s no rule against it.

You can use it too.

The normal fishing spots are around 3.6 meters.

I’ve made spots for everyone; try them out!

The distant one with Magic Corn is to the right; the near one with Rice Wine is to the left, about half a meter off!”

“Damn, with crucian carp this big, who needs big fish?

Aren’t these crucian carp fragrant?

They’re rarer than big carp!” Wei Liang also began to hastily get ready upon hearing this.

The first crucian carp was just the beginning.

The second cast went down, and just as the bait settled, there was movement again–a big pull followed by a straight dive.

Seeing the fish’s frantic activity, Yue Feng immediately took out a drone to start the live stream.

“I’m starting the stream, y’all.

The microphone will pick up everyone’s voices, so watch the swearing!”

“Alright!

We’ll be careful!”

After reminding his teammates, Yue Feng set a catchy title for the live stream.

Exploring a privately-owned reservoir off-limits for ten years, catching pound-worthy crucians until your hands ache!

After editing the title, Yue Feng decided, and activated the live stream!

“Holy fuck!

The host finally remembered to start the broadcast.

Didn’t he arrive at the reservoir this morning?

Why start so late; I’ve refreshed the followers list five or six times!”

“Front row!”

“Where’s the pound crucian?

If you’re lying, I’ll kill you, bastard!”

“A private reservoir?

Looks pretty good!”

“Damn, finally started the stream!”

“Any fish caught yet?

Show us the catch!”

The chat in the live room went crazy, and seeing the viewer count rocket to over 500, Yue Feng was slow to start talking.

“Hello everyone, I’m Yue Feng, your fishing livestreamer.

Today, I’m broadcasting from Lechang County’s Cliff Dam Reservoir that we previewed yesterday!

Arrived at the reservoir early in the morning, setting up the campsite and getting the fishing spot ready took up the whole morning, only just stabilized now!
