Chapter 796: Chapter 330: Great Sea Red Spot_2

"Yes, if it were me, when the tip of the rod was shaking violently just now, I would have struck, and maybe the fish would have run away. If it had run away at that moment, it would have been such a pity. This is a deep-sea large grouper, a rare find. A single deep-sea large grouper is worth at least several thousand, and possibly much more. If it had escaped because it wasn’t hooked properly, it would have been heartbreaking."

Lin Yang quickly reeled in the line and lifted the rod, but as he tightened the coil, the big fish also exerted its strength, frantically unwinding the line, as if the two were engaged in a tug-of-war.

The strength of the big fish was not at all inferior to Lin Yang’s.

However, Lin Yang was not in a hurry, as he already had a clear idea of how big the fish was.

Once this fish was up, today’s competition would essentially be over.

Lin Yang already had a judgment in mind and he smoothly reeled in the line at his own pace.

At first, the big fish constantly exerted its force, and the speed at which it unwound the line was even faster than Lin Yang’s reeling. As the line kept unwinding and the big fish continued diving into deeper waters, this spectacle greatly excited the spectators.

Ordinary spectators had never seen such a grand scene and couldn’t help but gasp in pleasure.

But as time passed, the fish from the deep-sea gradually lost its strength.

Lin Yang maintained the same speed, continuously reeling in, and gradually pulled the fish back towards him.

Until the angle of the fishing line was almost 90 degrees to the water surface, which meant that the big fish had been pulled directly underneath and began to be gradually pulled towards the surface.

During this process, the struggles of the big fish weakened more and more.

Lin Yang then appropriately slowed down the reeling speed.

"Everyone, look, the fish is not struggling much now, clearly it doesn’t have much energy left. That’s partly because it has used up a lot of energy. But more importantly, as the fish is pulled from the deep water to the surface, the change in water depth leads to a change in pressure, and the internal pressure of the big fish cannot keep up. This causes the gases inside the fish to expand rapidly, making its body stiff, and even severely compressing the fish’s organs.

So, in this process, if we want to keep the fish alive, there are two ways."

"One is to reel in quickly, as fast as possible, before the fish’s organs suffer catastrophic damage, and pull it up and deflate it."

"The other method is like what I’m doing now, slowly reeling in, allowing the fish to gradually adapt to the new pressure and adjust itself. This method requires slowly and evenly reeling in the line, and not rushing..."

As he spoke, Lin Yang continued his slow reeling, smoothly and slowly pulling the fish towards the surface.

During this process, although the fish did not struggle vigorously, it constantly maintained its struggle, which meant it was still alive.

In the live broadcast room, the audience couldn’t help but praise once more.

"Master Lin is really considerate, he truly tries to teach us every detail."

"The price of a Sea Red Spot and whether the fish is alive or not are greatly correlated; a live grouper is priced twice as much as a dead one. So, if it’s us fishing, whether or not the fish can be reeled in alive and brought back has a big impact. A large Red Spot that weighs several tens of pounds could have a price difference of thousands whether it is alive or dead."

For Lin Yang, actually, there was no difference between a live or a dead fish.

But he still wanted to keep this fish fresh.

By then, the big fish had gradually been pulled to the surface.

The live broadcast camera focused on the water surface, revealing a dark red large fish gradually emerging.

"Here it comes, this fish is magical! Although it’s not a golden fish, I still want to say ’legend of gold’!"

"So exciting, a huge Sea Red Spot finally appears!"

In the live broadcast camera, the whole process of the Large Red Spot emerging from the water was recorded.

This was a very plump Large Red Spot, not only long but also very broad, a true behemoth, its entire body adorned with vivid red patterns.

And because Lin Yang pulled the fish ashore very slowly, although it was brought up from the deep sea, there wasn’t a severe bloating reaction, and the large fish was still very hearty.

Normally, when hauling such a large grouper ashore, many fishermen would use a hook to lift it.

If the fish was already deemed unlikely to survive, they might hook directly into the body since it was going to die anyway, even a wound from the hook wouldn’t matter much.

But if it were possible to bring the fish back alive, they wouldn’t be so hasty. Generally, a net would be used, or hooks would latch onto the fish’s mouth and gills, then slowly pulled onto the boat.

This time, Lin Yang’s fish was clearly meant to be brought up alive, so he took a long hook and directly hooked it in the fish’s mouth.

Gently exerting force with his arm, he pulled the fish aboard; it was a gentle force for Lin Yang, but to the spectators, it seemed utterly astonishing.

A fish so large, and he practically lifted it aboard single-handedly, which was beyond belief.

"This is outrageous, that fish must weigh at least a hundred pounds, yet he just lifted it up with one hand."

"Is that the Qilin Arm, Master Lin?"

"Perhaps even more than that; after all, this isn’t a dead object, but a lively fish, being lifted so effortlessly. Lin Yang’s strength is simply terrifying!"

"It seems being a master fisherman is no easy feat, how long would one need to train to achieve such a Qilin Arm?"

"I’m not dreaming of becoming a fishing master anymore because even if I caught such a large fish, I couldn’t manage to haul it up this effortlessly."
