The Top Fishing

"Damn, is this the gear for fishing Giant Groupers? This thing seems way bigger than the equipment we used to catch huge Catfish up at Mingyue Mountain."

"Just looking at this terrifyingly big fishhook gives me the shivers. Imagine if it accidentally got hooked onto your butt...."

"Dang, you guys are too freaking ruthless! Last summer when I was casting at the reservoir, I got a No. 13 Ishiyane Hook from an explosive hook stuck in my thigh. That feeling, the barbs were so solid, and it was deep. I had to have the hospital cut the wound open to get it out."

"Sympathies to the brother upstairs. We’ve got a lure angler over here who got hooked by a treble hook in the back of his head. As they were removing the hook, one got detached while another hooked into his belly. Blood was all over his forehead it looked incredibly scary. Everyone please pay attention to safety when fishing."

Lin Yang pinched the fishhook and showed it to everyone: "Indeed, the kind of fishhooks used for big fish are very dangerous. Everyone should use them carefully according to fishing procedures. We still have a little time before reaching the spot, so I’m going to go ahead and mount the bait."

The next second, he opened the bait compartment that had been prepared in advance and picked out a fresh sea fish from the top.

This unknown species of fish displayed a lead-gray color with a hint of dark blue metallic sheen, roughly weighing somewhere around two to three pounds.

He didn’t even bother to cut it, just took the fish in one hand, and the hook in the other, and placed it in the meaty part of the fish’s back.

"Wow, this is the bait? Do you have to be so cruel, host? Not to mention the huge hook, but the bait itself is so big. Having seen you mount the bait on the hook, I’m going to have nightmares tonight."
