Chapter 533 - 240: Swarm of Piranhas_2
While fishing, Lin Yang also reminisced with some fondness.
"Maybe because the water quality in the Amazon is good, the wild fish there have better strength," he said.
"I think it’s the natural talent of the Peacock Bass, this kind of fish is inherently strong."
"I believe it has something to do with the surrounding environment too, there are obstacles everywhere, and when hooked on one, the fish can escape, so when a fish is hooked, it displays great strength."
Lin Yang glanced over and realized that while the bullet comments made sense, none hit the mark exactly.
"What everyone says is correct, but the main core point hasn’t been mentioned. The thing is, have you noticed the shape of this fish?
Slightly short and thick, with a wide body, this type of fish encounters a lot of resistance in the water after being hooked, even the most common freshwater fish, the Mirror Carp, which is the mirror carp, will feel much stronger than the regular Carp once hooked."
Besides, predatory fish like the Peacock Bass rely on ambushing in obstacle zones followed by short bursts of speed to catch their prey.
Years of survival have evolved this burst ability, which they also use to try to escape after being hooked, making it feel like the fish generates power and speed beyond what’s expected upon the initial hooking."
