Chapter 412 - 202: Boarding the Big Swordfish
Lin Yang glanced at the barrage and said, "Just now, a viewer was right, the fishing spot we’re currently at is mainly for catching groupers and such. It’s my first time using a slow jig, so I’m going to try my luck with a few casts and see if I can catch anything."
As he interacted through speech, the jig had already hit the bottom.
He demonstrated the basic techniques of slow jigging for everyone, slowly reeling in, then gently teasing, consistently focusing on the fish layer from the bottom of the sea up to about five meters from the seabed.
Soon after, he gently shook the rod tip with his hand to make the jig accelerate underwater, then abruptly stop. Surprisingly, he quickly got a bite.
It seems his luck was indeed good; within less than two minutes of his first cast, he successfully hooked a fish.
Having experienced the terrifying pulling power of GT and Dogtooth Tuna, Lin Yang was quite calm with this size of fish. After a jerk of the rod to set the hook through the fish’s mouth, he casually adjusted the drag and steadily reeled in the catch.
While reeling in, he addressed the audience, "This fish isn’t big, caught on the second lift after the jig hit the bottom. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a small grouper."
After a bit more than a minute, the fish was pulled up. As expected, it was a grouper weighing two to three pounds—a respectable size for seafood restaurants back home.
However, in international waters, Yue’er could easily catch such a small grouper with a rod, even without any special training.
