After checking out the big fish sent in the fish tank this time, Old Li quickly began the preparation work for releasing the fish into the water.
He took out a bottle of transparent, colorless liquid from the cockpit, casually added a bit into a basin to dilute it, and then poured it into each fish tank.
From the camera, it's clear that he was very precise when adding the liquid. Different fish species and tanks needed different amounts, indicating he did this often and was very skilled.
Under the live streaming camera, viewers saw this fish-releasing operation, and the public chat instantly buzzed with noise.
[What's going on? Adding drugs?]
[Uh, just a few drops can knock out a big fish? This stuff seems pretty powerful! I wonder what would happen if you give a few drops to a person? There's a girl I really like, but I can't catch up with her!]
[Dude above, your thoughts are dangerous. Let me quiz you, what's the phone number of the girl you're talking about?]
[Probably a tranquilizer? After adding it, the fish won't move around?]
[Around here, whether it's a reservoir or a black pit, fish are either lifted with a big net or slid down with a chute! It's the first time I've seen fish being drugged for release!]
[My focus is different from yours. After they're drugged, will the fish start feeding in tomorrow's live stream? They probably won't recover that quickly, right? Last time, the host mentioned that big fish weighing 20 to 30 pounds didn't feed right away after release!]
Zhang Yang replied, "Yes, this is a tranquilizer, primarily for calming the fish!
When fish get bigger, they adjust to a new environment slower than smaller fish. You could say the bigger they are, the more fragile they are!
It's best if they go into the water quietly, without struggling. This way, their scales, mucus membranes, and even internal organs can be protected as much as possible!
As for feeding, newly released fish, even if everything goes smoothly, will find it difficult to feed by tomorrow given their size!
Today, we're baiting the spot and starting fishing tomorrow. We're aiming for the big ones released first and the old fish from the original pond!
Brother Old Li, shall we start releasing the fish? Do you need me to set the phone mount aside and lend a hand?"
"A helping hand would be safer! With fewer fish, it'll be quick to release them!"
Having said that, Old Li used a large scoop net to fish them out of the tank and then placed them in a plastic basket.
Strangely enough, the big fish were quite lively in the tank before being drugged. Now they're like dead fish, completely stiff and motionless!
Having scooped up two large Grass Carp, Zhang Yang held the plastic basket below and quickly poured them into the water.
As if feeling the water temperature, the big fish struggled a bit, adjusted their swimming posture, dived into the water, and soon floated back to the surface dozens of meters away, stiffly resembling a floating log.
After releasing two fish, the rest followed suit, and soon several dozen big fish were released! Only the last two big ones were left!
"What should we do with these two big ones?"
Old Li answered, "Drain half the water; I'll go into the tank and carry them out! You hold the stretcher for support! These big fellows can't have any accidents!"
"Alright, I'll follow your instructions! Whatever you say, we'll do!" Zhang Yang nodded decisively.
Soon, Old Li opened the tank's outlet, and after ensuring the water level lowered to a suitable position, he jumped into the water tank, wrapped the big fish with a towel-like tool, and carried them out.
The big fish were placed directly onto a stretcher, and the two of them carefully carried it to the shore and gently lowered it into the water.
The hundred-pound behemoth plunged into the water like a submarine and quickly disappeared beneath the surface, surprising Zhang Yang because it didn't float back up.
First one done, then the same process for the second one, and soon the two Divine Beast Level big fish were released into the pond.
Though it was just two fish, the time spent releasing them equaled that of the previous several dozen combined.
After wiping his face when the work was done, Zhang Yang noticed that the other big fish that had been floating on the surface earlier, except for a few, had submerged.
Old Li also glanced at the water: "The concentration I mixed should have all the fish underwater within half an hour! Now that the temperature is higher, they recover quickly! Judging by their activity, it looks fine!"
"Alright! Thanks for the effort! For these few fish, you traveled quite far! I'll ask the company to transfer the payment for the fish to you! If you need anything, we'll contact you by phone!"
"Alright, you get busy, I'll head off first, catch a nap, and head to Hebei tomorrow for another fish order!"
After the live fish truck left, Zhang Yang ended the fish-releasing segment of his stream. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and grinned at the camera: "So, brothers? The fish release this time was pretty scenic, right?
The fish-releasing part is done, onto the next segment! Pre-baiting!"
In the previous live stream debut, everyone saw that the spot at our north shore had a good fish response. We'll continue baiting here.
Let's set a simple bait now!"
Five seconds later, Zhang Yang drove his van near the reservoir and opened the door.
Oh man, the two rear rows were entirely full of crates of aged corn.
[Oh my god, this is setting a simple bait? Isn't this like filling the sea?]
[123… A total of twelve crates of bait! All into the water? Wouldn't the water level rise by a meter?]
