Chapter 793: Chapter 329: Widely Imitated_2

But the moment the fish emerged from the water, his smile became even more radiant as a flash of gold caught his eye.

The legendary Yellow croaker!

"Hahaha, indeed it’s a Yellow croaker, caught at 50 meters from the bottom, finally a result!"

At this point, nearly two and a half hours had passed since the competition began.

And he was the only angler, aside from Lin Yang, to have caught a Yellow croaker out of all the participants.

Although this Yellow croaker was only about half a pound, practically a young fish, it was a completely different concept from not having one at all.

With this Yellow croaker, as long as the other two members of their team caught the other two target fish, they could achieve a valid score.

Considering the current situation, it seemed that not many teams had managed to obtain valid scores.

With only a little more than an hour left in the competition, being able to secure a valid score greatly alleviated the pressure, and the size of the fish wasn’t as important anymore.

"Who would have thought, after such a long wait, I finally got a Yellow croaker!

Thanks to the reminders from netizens, indeed Master Lin’s choice was correct, Yellow croaker should be fished at 50 meters from the bottom!"

Seeing how polite the angler was, and how he knew to thank everyone, the netizens in the live stream were also very happy.

"Hahaha, no need to be so polite."

"Who would’ve thought, it was our fellow netizens who helped the angler reach his target fish."

"Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve felt such a sense of participation in a show, I contributed to the catch of this man’s fish."

"Master Lin is really impressive, among so many people he was the first to make the right judgment and find the Yellow croaker’s depth!"

Soon after,

the anglers who changed their fishing depths started catching fish one after another. There was success all around, with many hits on Yellow croakers.

Indeed, after changing their fishing depths, they all found the Yellow croaker’s layer, and everyone began catching fish.

From everyone not being able to catch fish and no one landing a Yellow croaker, to Lin Yang being the first one to catch one, and as the fishing method spread, then the rest swiftly following suit, adopting the same depth as Lin Yang, everyone was landing fish.

By now, countless anglers couldn’t help but give Lin Yang a thumbs up in their hearts.

He was indeed awe-inspiring. It was impossible not to admire his skill.

When it comes to fishing for Yellow croaker, almost everyone had a fixed idea in mind.

That is, Yellow croakers are bottom-dwellers, typically fished within 10 meters from the bottom.

Lin Yang, however, did the opposite, catching a fish on his first attempt at 50 meters from the bottom.

While others clung to their methods for half the day but caught nothing.

An angler couldn’t help but sigh, "This is what they call ’the uncertainty of fishing,’ Master truly is a Master, and I am inferior to him!"

"Regardless of the final result, Master Lin is undoubtedly the first place in this competition. If not for him, we probably would still not have caught any Yellow croakers, much less had any scores."

"Master Lin is so strong, I really wonder how he came to that judgment, choosing the right fishing depth on his first attempt, and such an unconventional one at that."

At this moment, countless anglers held immense respect for Lin Yang.

They simply couldn’t help but admire him; actions speak louder than words. They had all tried their methods, which didn’t work.

But Lin Yang’s approach, explained with simple clarity, was successful, not just once, but every time it was tried.

Subsequently, everyone started catching fish in quick succession, even in rapid fire.

Yellow croakers being caught one after another, and by many people across the entire fishing area, was indeed a rare scene!

Typically, during a fishing season, such a spectacle would not occur more than three times.

And when it does happen, it requires a combination of factors such as the right time, location, and collective effort, usually during perfect weather conditions and at least once-a-month large tides.

Plus selecting the best fishing spot, then everyone flocking there, leading to a flurry of catches.

Yet today, without any special tides and everyone positioned at different spots, not to mention the absence of exceptional weather,

the fact that everyone was catching Yellow croakers could only be described with one word—miraculous!

Everyone knew that the basis for this miracle was what they learned from Lin Yang, shifting to an unorthodox fishing depth that was usually overlooked.

Generally speaking, at that depth, it was unlikely to catch even ordinary fish, let alone Yellow croakers.

But today, against all odds, there was a surge of Yellow croakers.

No one could clearly explain why.

Nobody had the time to analyze the logic behind Lin Yang’s choice of depth.

Since there were fish to catch, naturally, everyone hurried to make the most of the opportunity.

Shortly after, everyone had caught plenty of Yellow croakers, and essentially all teams could now complete the basic task, which was to catch three different target fish.

After all, among the three types of fish, the Sea Bass was the easiest to catch. Basically, as long as one had a bit of saltwater fishing experience and prepared carefully, in a resource-rich location like the Zhoushan Fishery, Sea Bass could be caught, with the only difference being size.

As for the Sea Red Spot, although it was much rarer than the Sea Bass and also highly valued,

most teams had specifically dedicated one person to target Sea Red Spot, and if the teammate fishing for Sea Bass caught one large enough, they would switch to targeting Sea Red Spot as well.

The reason was simple: the Sea Red Spot was the largest among the three types of fish.
