Chapter 118 - 117: Raising an Empty Rod_2
"This one’s got a big head, probably weighs around twenty pounds," Lin Yang said in a deep voice, surprised that the first one they brought up was a little giant.
After struggling for another two minutes, they finally pulled the first Big Flower Head to the shore. The fish was so large and still had the potential to fight back, so Lin Yang could only ask Wang Feng to help net it.
He let out a sigh of relief only when the fish was securely in the net.
Then he came down from the fishing platform, held the Big Flower Head by its head, and lifted it up for the live stream audience to admire.
"Damn, the first one is such a big Hua Lian, it’s probably close to twenty pounds, right?"
"The price for big heads is really high now, this one could sell for more than 200."
"Today the host might just explode with Catfish luck...."
Lin Yang put the fish into the keepnet: "The first Catfish caught is such a big catch, we’re having chopped chili fish head tonight."
After finishing, he returned to his fishing spot and continued to prepare his bait for the next hook. When fishing for Catfish, you can’t use a single hook; you must use double hooks. That’s the only way to increase the chances of catching fish because Catfish are very difficult to hook with just one.
After molding the bait, he cast his line. You can’t cast a full line whether you’re fishing Catfish or other big fish; the consequence of a full cast is a tug-of-war.
If the main line isn’t thick enough, you’ll almost always snap the line with one yank.
