Chapter 765: Chapter 319: Connect to the Behemoth

But that leap turned out to be the pike’s final struggle.

Afterwards, it no longer had the strength to resist and was smoothly pulled out of the water by Lin Yang.

Into the net, onto the shore!

The moment the big fish reached the shore, not to mention the others, even Lin Yang himself was overjoyed.

"The pikes from Qianxia Lake are truly extraordinary," he said.

He closely examined the pike, which was about 1.3 to 1.4 meters long, plump-bodied with delicate yet tough scales, and very solid muscles, truly deserving its reputation as the tiger of the waters!

Especially the sharp teeth in its mouth, they looked chilling to the bone.

There was no doubt that a bite from it could probably lead to losing a finger.

The excitement of the audience was clearly even stronger than Lin Yang’s.

By now, the live chat was already flooded with scrolling comments, filling the screen.

"666, the golden legend has descended!"

"Pike ashore, pray for my postgraduate exam to be landed too."

"What a big pike, I want to share in the joy too!"

"Such a huge pike, how many small fish must it have eaten!"

"This is truly the nightmare of countless fish in Qianxia Lake, yet today Master Lin has caught it."

"Just this one by Master Lin is worth several from others, looks like today’s outcome is a foregone conclusion."

At the competition site, the measurements for the pike had already been completed.

Its length was 134 cm, weight 93 kg.

For a pike, these numbers hadn’t reached the limit.

According to official records, the largest pike ever found weighed nearly 200 kg, yes, twice the size of the one Lin Yang had caught.

However, a pike of that size is generally only in records; it is seldom seen in daily life, and a nearly 200 kg pike in the water is basically the level of an overlord.

It’s not just fish, but some water birds and animals also become its food.

For ordinary fish and water birds, it is pretty much a one-bite snack, truly terrifying.

But so far, aside from Lin Yang’s 90-plus kg Big Eel, the highest score by others was only close to 30 kg, and no more giant pikes had been seen.

Lin Yang continued to cast his rod, fishing away.

The variety of fish in Qianxia Lake is very rich, from cold-water species to subtropical and even some tropical species; basically, all can be found here.

The main reason is, on one hand, the water quality of Qianxia Lake is very good, which can meet any fish’s requirement for water quality.

On the other hand, the depth of Qianxia Lake varies, and the surrounding is rich in food, which can meet the different environmental needs of various fish.

Wanting to challenge his own limits, this time Lin Yang had secretly exchanged for a buff to catch big fish.

He wanted to see just how big the fish in Qianxia Lake could be.

With the buff, Lin Yang also utilized his skill to observe fish behavior, carefully searching the lake surface.

He then noticed, about thirty or forty meters to his right front, there seemed to be some big catch under the water.

Seeing this, he immediately switched his fishing technique, changing from the previous ’walking the dog’ style to a ’bottom searching’ style.

After casting the lure, Lin Yang dragged it for a while, but the big guy at the bottom seemed unmoved.

"Hey, this big fellow is really wily," he chuckled.

Lin Yang laughed, this big fish being so cautious, no wonder it had grown so big.

But he was no novice; to deal with such wily big fish, Lin Yang’s experience was already very sophisticated.

He skillfully made the lure imitate the movement of various small animals crawling on the bottom, but after casting more than twenty times, suddenly a loud splash came from afar!

A monstrous big creature like a water monster suddenly burst out of the water and bit the lure in one gulp.

At the same time, a frenzied sound of line being pulled out came from Lin Yang’s fishing reel!

"Look! Master Lin has hooked another one, but it’s weird this time. It seems like he’s using a bottom searching method, isn’t it?"

"The one above is right; he’s indeed using the bottom searching method, and he targeted the same spot twice in a row, as if he knew there were fish there. But can you catch a pike with a bottom searching method?"

"It seems not, could it be that he’s snagged on the bottom, not a fish?"

"Does your home’s snags pull out the line? This is definitely a fish hit! I heard the splash."

The comments exploded with speculation.

On Lin Yang’s end, he was now grappling with the giant creature from the depths.

The moment he had it on the line, he could tell that this catch wasn’t a pike, because the feel of this giant was very different from a pike.

Pikes are a species with great speed and explosive power, a bit like the fish in the sea, whereas this giant’s explosive power was not comparable to a pike’s, and it also belonged to the slower-swimming kind.

So though the line was frantically being pulled out, under Lin Yang’s swift handling of the fishing reel, the line was continuously being reeled in.

Moreover, as the giant in the water was losing strength, the line reeled in quicker.

Soon, a huge grayish figure emerged on the surface of the water.

"Holy shit! What is this creature? A monster, right?"

"Out of line, isn’t this fish too big?"

"This is a Catfish, the first time I’ve ever seen such a big one!"

A massive Catfish appeared on the surface, its mouth large enough to swallow a person, looking terrifying.

Its body length exceeded two meters, estimated to be close to three meters, truly a sight to shock anyone.

A giant Catfish surfaced, and under Lin Yang’s control, it seemed to have no strength left to resist and was soon pulled ashore.
