Chapter 812: Chapter 336: Defend the Big Carp

In the livestream, although Lin Yang didn’t explicitly say it, viewers could see their fishing strategies.

Among them, Lin Yang personally chose the longest one, 8.1 meters, while his teammate Xiao Peng chose 6.3 meters, and Yue’er used 5.4 meters this time.

This was the longest rod she had ever used outside of sea fishing.

Because she had been using rods shorter than 4.5 meters before, it seems she’s grown a lot with the competition.

"For this competition, Master Lin is using an 8.1-meter rod, which is record-breaking in length."

"It’s true. Since Master Lin started competing, it seems the longest rod he used was just 6.3 meters. It looks like he’s getting serious this time."

"Scary, scary, even Lin the Great is using a long rod, looks like we’ll be witnessing the strongest Master Lin this time."

Many fishing enthusiasts were eagerly anticipating because Lin Yang was using an 8.1-meter rod for the first time, which considered long for him.

Soon, the competition officially began.

All groups of contestants cast their lines into the water upon the command, and Lin Yang was no exception.

The three of them on Lin Yang’s side cast their rods almost simultaneously.

Chen Xinyue’s 5.4 meters, being the shortest distance, was the first to hit the water.

Watching her cast in one swift motion, many fishing enthusiasts couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, truly deserving of being by Master Lin’s side.

Regardless of the outcome of the fishing, just watching her operation shows a great deal of seasoned fishing expertise.

But Lin Yang’s 8.1 meters and Xiao Peng’s 6.3 meters had Lin Yang’s assembly and float arrive first.

This led some observant fishing enthusiasts to raise some questions.

"Master Lin’s rod is obviously longer, and the casting distance is further, so it should take longer than Xiao Peng. Why is Master Lin’s float already in place while Xiao Peng’s bait just hit the water?"

This question seemed to resonate with a lot of the fishing enthusiasts.

For a moment, the livestream was flooded with "+1" comments, showing that everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.

This is where the value of host Xia Xiaoxue shone through.

Seeing the screen full of countless "+1" and question marks, she couldn’t help but smile softly.

Then she started speaking: "This question, I can try to analyze...."

As soon as she said that, the livestream exploded instantly, with an overwhelming number of comments filling the screen.

"Here it comes, Xia Xiaoxue is about to analyze."

"Good, her analysis has always been reliable."

"Xiao Xue, go ahead. We trust your analysis can’t be wrong."

Everyone had a lot of faith in Xia Xiaoxue’s expertise, and besides, she was a beauty, so everyone liked listening to her analysis.

Xia Xiaoxue smiled and immediately began to analyze. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"I think it’s like this, although Master Lin’s rod and line are longer than the one beside it, theoretically, a longer casting distance would require more time.

But everyone shouldn’t forget another factor.

That is the time it takes for the cast to hit the water; it’s related to vision and distance, but also speed.

And speed is related to initial speed and resistance, you can see that Master Lin’s technique when casting is evidently better than his teammate’s, so his initial casting speed is relatively fast, which is determined by his skill.

And as the hook flew out, we could clearly see Xiao Peng’s hooks and bait were lighter, so there was significant deceleration, thus taking longer from the cast to hitting the water.

Whereas Master Lin’s bait was noticeably heavier, like throwing a stone, quickly hit the water.

Combining these two points, this led to Master Lin’s hooks and bait hitting the water before his teammate...."

Xia Xiaoxue’s analysis was very detailed, but everyone was still in over their heads.

With all the talk about initial speed and resistance, it felt like a physics lesson, so many fishing enthusiasts started to vent in the comments.

"I came to watch a fishing livestream, didn’t expect to get a physics lesson instead."

"I still don’t get it, thanks Xiao Xue for the analysis, next time perhaps don’t analyze."

"It sounds very profound, but understanding it seems impossible."

"Not surprising from Xiao Xue, analyzing a cast with physics formulas."

Though the audience was complaining, they actually enjoyed listening to this kind of mix-up.

Seeing a lot of people complaining about not understanding, Xia Xiaoxue continued:

"There might be a few who still don’t quite get it, in simpler terms, what Master Lin had attached to the hook was heavy and hard, his lead was also heavier, while his teammate’s bait was very light with a smaller lead, so Master Lin’s hook traveled further and faster, understood now?"

In a wave of enthusiastic applause, the livestream first fell into silence, then burst into a cacophony.

"Damn, it was that simple, if only you had said it earlier, we would have just got it."

"The heavier the thing, the faster it goes, the lighter it falls slower—such a simple principle, why talk about speed and resistance, I give up, I lose."

Listening to her simplified explanation, all the anglers instantly understood. It turned out to be such a simple principle.

Lin Yang’s bait and lead-weight were heavy, so they descended faster, naturally taking less time.

A simple reason like this had Xia Xiaoxue going around in circles like a physics class.

Many of those watching the live broadcast were expressing admiration amidst their teasing, and keen viewers quickly caught an important detail.

"Xiao Xue, what did you just say? Master Li used conical bait for this fishing attempt? And used a big hook and heavy lead?"
