Chapter 353 - 183: On the Eve of the Competition_3
After choosing a fishing rod, Lin Yang began setting up his line, aiming for fish over three pounds. Normally, a 1.0+0.6 line would suffice, but since he was using someone else’s rod, he didn’t want to overdo it, so he used a standard 3+2 line, which could handle a fish around 11 pounds comfortably.
Once he had prepared his line and set his float, Lin Yang began to fish.
Before fishing, he specifically looked up the fish species in Qiandao Lake. Although the internet claimed there were all kinds of fish, including wild sturgeon and river dolphins, Lin Yang was skeptical.
He had also glanced at the other anglers, most of whom were fishing for species like Carp, grass carp, and Catfish; hence, these were Lin Yang’s targets as well.
However, he didn’t use any special enhancing bait, but rather the bait provided by Wang Feng. About ten minutes after his bait and hook had hit the water, he had a bite.
As Lin Yang watched the float bob, he suddenly struck, although this time, the odds were against him hooking a fish, as it was clearly just a nibble.
But with his current skill level, even a nibble had a decent chance of turning into a proper bite.
As he stood the fishing rod up and gently pulled the fish to shore, everyone could see what he had caught—a Carp weighing just over 4 pounds. Although it was a Southern China Carp, which many people didn’t prefer to eat, it was still the first fish landed.
At that moment, Wang Feng’s apprentice, Xiao Zhang, who was also his assistant, hurried over to help him net the fish.
