Chapter 212 - 148: Giant Fish Tail_3
After showing the viewers, Lin Yang asked Xiao Li, "Have there been any records of catching Zong Fish in our camp area? Their numbers are already very low, and if your research team doesn’t need samples, I’ll release it."
Although the Zong Fish is a large predatory fish species, like the dogfish and black fish, they are competitive. Releasing it into the water would continue feeding on the other major domestic fish while also consuming the young of dogfish and black fish.
"Don’t release it! We’ve been here for a few days, and even last time we didn’t catch this kind of fish. The approval document includes legal capture of samples. Let’s take this one back; at least it counts as a contribution."
"Okay, then let’s keep it alive in the fish bucket for now."
Lin Yang nodded and put the lively Zong Fish into the live fish bucket. Then he said to the viewers online, "Unfortunately, none of you guessed what fish this was, so there’s no reward. But that’s alright; there will be similar guesses later on. Let’s keep fishing."
After speaking, he glanced at the reel in his hand and cast out again.
The two fish he had just caught were both caught from the middle water layer. The first dogfish took only three seconds after the pencil hit the water to start reeling in at a steady pace.
The second Zong Fish freely fell for about five seconds before Lin Yang started to reel in. Based on basic knowledge, it was probably around two to two and a half meters deep.
With this judgment, he cast the bait again. After the water entry, he paused for a few seconds longer before letting the fake bait reach the bottom, as bigger fish tend to stay deeper.
