"Master Lin must have pulled in plenty of big fish to develop such arm strength," someone guessed.
Lin Yang’s arm strength amazed the audience.
But in fact, this was a piece of cake for him.
He had caught fish weighing up to a thousand jin before; catching a hundred-jin fish was surely a breeze for him.
As the big fish was landed, the marvel at Lin Yang’s arm strength was just a minor interlude. What everyone was more interested in was just how big the fish was.
Soon, the weight of the big fish was announced.
jin!
That number was simply dizzying.
This was a Sea Red Spot, arguably the cream of the Grouper family and one of the most valuable fish in Zhoushan, not inferior to the Yellow croaker nicknamed the gold bar.
Moreover, the value of the Sea Red Spot increased with its size; after all, the bigger it was, the tastier and rarer it became.
Such a large Sea Red Spot was basically priceless, and there would certainly be many wealthy people vying to purchase it.
Generally, the price of a Sea Red Spot over 10 jin was agrade, roughly around 500-600 yuan per jin, and as the fish grew larger and more scarce, the price margin would increase.
Sometimes, when wealthy people encountered such a large fish, they simply didn’t care about the price and would buy it at any cost.
So many of the ordinary spectators were already drooling with envy, virtual tears of jealousy streaming down their faces.
"I am a fisherman from Zhoushan, but I have never seen a Sea Red Spot as big as this in my life. If I could catch such a Sea Red Spot, it would be absolutely thrilling!"
"Though I would cherish it and hate to sell it, if I caught one, I’d definitely find a way to sell it for a good price," someone said.
"With a Sea Red Spot this size, the unit price could easily exceed 1,000 yuan per jin, so at 123 jin, I did a quick calculation, and it’s worth almost 120,000 yuan!"
"My goodness, a fish worth over a hundred thousand, this is like striking it rich," another remarked.
"To you, this fish is worth a lot of money, but for Master Lin, he would never be short of such an amount..."
A Sea Red Spot weighing over a hundred jin completely blew up the live stream.
From marveling at the fish to discussing its value, people couldn’t help but exclaim that being a top-notch fisherman was indeed a high-income profession.
Especially for someone like Lin Yang, who seemed to be able to head out to sea and effortlessly catch a fish worth over a hundred thousand, it was easier than picking up money.
"So envious, mom, my dream is to be a fisherman, just like Master Lin!"
Netizens exclaimed that they never knew fishing could be such a lucrative career.
Of course, everyone understood in their hearts.
Making money from fishing was possible only for experts like Lin Yang.
The reality for fishermen who actually lived off fishing was that it was quite arduous. On a good day, they could indeed make some money, but it was all hard-earned, sometimes even blood, sweat, and tears money.
After all, fishing at sea, braving the wind, the sun, and the tides was not only exhausting but also dangerous, far from an easy profession.
After landing this large Sea Red Spot, Lin Yang simply put away his fishing rod and stopped fishing.
His catch comprised a Yellow croaker weighing just over two jin, a Sea Bass weighing over twenty jin, and the Sea Red Spot weighing over 120 jin.
Although there was only one of each target fish, nothing more, the total weight was still quite considerable, over 140 jin.
With such results, Lin Yang was very confident that he could take first place in this round.
Even if he didn’t come in first this round, it didn’t matter. His current position on the leaderboard was already well ahead, and it was unlikely that anyone could shake his ranking within this round of competition.
