The Top Fishing

"Indeed, it’s all clear after listening to the anchor’s explanation."

"It seems there’s something not quite right, the anchor mentioned tapping the bottom to find the water layer, but for these last few casts, I didn’t see you perform the reeling action after hitting the bottom? Didn’t you hold back a trick?"

"Damn, I also noticed this detail. Master Lin didn’t let the rig hit the bottom in his recent casts, is there some other advanced technique?"

Seeing someone observing the details of his casting so meticulously, Lin Yang also laughed, "It looks like there are still many attentive viewers; you noticed even this small detail, which I thought no one would pay attention to."

"Look at that, he’s grinning. Spill the beans now, or you’ll suffer."

"Damn, the anchor is learning bad habits, not learning good things and keeping tricks up his sleeve."

It was rare for anyone to set the rhythm in Lin Yang’s live stream, but discussing fishing techniques, mixing in clever comments, and occasionally teasing the anchor was acceptable. Seizing the opportunity, the viewers naturally made fun of him.

Seeing this, Lin Yang didn’t take it to heart. He squinted and smiled as he continued to explain, "There’s no such exaggeration as holding back a trick, it’s just a very small detail. I thought I had mentioned it before, but I intentionally didn’t bring it up because I was worried everyone might not grasp it well in practice."

"’Afraid we won’t grasp it well’ my ass. If you don’t mention it, of course, we can’t learn it. Just practice more and tell us exactly what the trick is."

"I second the guy above, spill it now."

Lin Yang: "Actually, it’s quite simple. When casting, I just silently count the time in my heart, and stop when I reach the anticipated water layer. For example, if the depth is 20 meters and hitting the bottom takes 10 seconds, if I stop the line at 8 seconds, wouldn’t that be around 4 meters above the bottom?"
