The 3.6-meter high-carbon fishing rod formed a beautiful arc, and Zhang Yang stably bowed the rod single-handedly, carefully negotiating with the fish underwater.
The water temperature was low, and the fish weren't very active, so the impact after hooking wasn't strong. Symbolically, it swam back and forth at the bottom of the water twice before being lifted above the surface.
A pure wild large bream weighing over a pound appeared faintly outside the spotlight's beams, clearly visible in the camera.
With just a little acceleration and a big bream coming out of the water, the live stream room exploded.
[Wow, did he really catch a fish?]
[That last nibble was amazing, can't believe we got such a good bite just after thawing!]
[Brothers below might be focusing on the wrong thing. Shouldn't we be looking at the big bream instead of analyzing the nibble?] ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
[Wow, could it be true what Brother Yang said about big breams coming out consistently here?]
Zhang Yang glanced at the public channel messages from the viewers, very satisfied with everyone's astonished reactions.
Honestly, before personally trying out fishing and understanding the fish situation, Zhang Yang wasn't sure if the fish would be this aggressive in this season, but the reality is right here. In wild fishing, resources are the primary productive force.
Seeing the audience being so clueless, Zhang Yang grinned, "Haha, when I first came here and caught a few fish, I was in the same state as all of you!
The line's pretty thin, so let's be a bit cautious bringing the fish back, straight to the net! Let me show everyone how beautiful a wild bream looks caught during night fishing!"
The next second, Zhang Yang gently scooped up the fish with the net using his left hand after putting down the fishing rod, pinched the back of the bream's gill cover to remove the hook from its lip, and displayed the whole big bream to the live stream audience.
This large bream was entirely silver-white, with a slender and proportionate body. Forget about the scale details; even the body shape was clearly different from those farmed breams.
The feel in hand was about a pound and two ounces, and visually, due to being lean, it appeared close to one and a half pounds.
The fish could be the treasure fish many anglers strive to catch all spring, now casually pinched in Zhang Yang's hand and displayed to hundreds or even thousands of viewers.
[Tsk tsk tsk, this big bream is really beautiful!]
[Just by the body shape, you can tell it's wild. Way better than those high-backed, round-bellied breams, it's not even the same!]
[Last spring, I was lucky to catch a bream weighing over a pound, but it didn't look as big as the one in Brother Yang's hand! Just this fish alone made tonight's night fishing worthwhile!]
[I've caught bream over two pounds, but they were farmed breams. This one looks like a wild native bream! Makes me envious!]
[Native bream +1, beautiful!]
Zhang Yang once again scanned the public channel in the live stream, placed the fish in the keeper, and continued interacting: "I can guarantee it's definitely a wild bream, but everyone calls it a native bream. I don't think it quite fits!
Here's why: native breams rarely have the chance to grow so large! If I had to judge personally, I'd lean towards it being a Pengze bream breed!
Breams growing in the wild waters are not necessarily native breams; they can belong to different species even in a natural environment!
Native breams grow slowly, taking maybe five years to reach half a pound, but certain species like the Pengze bream grow much faster!
For instance, Pengze breams can mature to four or five pounds in the wild without being like farmed breams, which can't normally breed the next generation!
Farm-raised breams can't do this, failing to naturally breed under natural conditions.
Of course, just casually listen to this, no need to take it seriously. My guess might not be entirely accurate! Since we got a nibble, let's cast the rod again and see if there's more surprises!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yang attached a red worm again, lifted his hand, and precisely cast the tackle back into the spot.
The tackle entered the water normally, and then the bobber slowly spun to position, revealing a little more than three marks on the water surface with no indication of fish chasing bait.
Zhang Yang was already accustomed to this state; the water temperature was low, fish were inactive, and chasing bait nibbles were practically nonexistent. As long as there was a nibble, it was steady-bottom feeding.
Knowing the bite was slow, Zhang Yang remained calm, waited a few seconds, and gently tickled the rod tip, causing the double hook underwater to move and attract the fish's attention.
This rod-tip teasing technique worked well, taking less than three minutes, and after a few teases, the bobber showed movement again.
This time, the bobber returned to its preset position steadily for less than two seconds before a clean, decisive half-mark biting action occurred, even skipping any trial feeding motion.
Zhang Yang twitched his wrist to hook the fish again, and the second one was caught!
"Haha, fish on! Second one!" Zhang Yang smugly announced, bowing the rod and started moving again.
The second fish was slightly smaller than the first, but still about a pound. After handling it, Zhang Yang flaunted it before the camera again and quickly placed it in the keeper.
[The stream's been live for less than five minutes and already two big ones! Weakly asking, where is this place, streamer? I'm so envious of these resources!]
[I desperately want to know too, such fish conditions are thrilling!]
[Can you share the fishing spot? Brother Yang's lifestyle is my dream! Who can I reason with!]
[The guy upstairs is thinking too much, the fishing spot is shared, by tomorrow there's nowhere to cast a rod![
