Chapter 534 - 240: Swarm of Piranhas_3
"There was a bit of a mishap earlier; the force of the fish’s charge was too great, and I hurried to lock the drag to prevent it from running into the debris. Unexpectedly, I cut the leader. Since that happened, let’s just switch to a thicker line."
Lin Yang explained the sudden situation that had occurred and then switched to a slightly larger line setup. According to standard pairing, a size four line should have been enough, but considering this was a heavy obstacle area, once the prey fled into it, losing the fish was almost certain, so he brashly switched the spool to a size five line.
This time, if a big fish caused trouble like before, he could directly confront it head-on.
"Switching straight to a size five PE line, I don’t believe it, let’s see if you dare take another bite, see if I don’t finish you off...."
While speaking, his fingers deftly pinched the leader and new lure, quickly tied the knots, and used scissors to finish the job in less than 10 seconds.
After changing the line, Lin Yang cast the lure again and carefully felt for any abnormal movements of the lure underwater.
Perhaps because of the fish that got away earlier, after changing equipment, he cast more than 20 times, and there was not a stir around him, as if all the fish here had disappeared.
"Damn, don’t tell me there’s also a concept of ’blasting the nest’ here, why are there no bites?" Lin Yang wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, somewhat puzzled.
"This is quite normal; after all, we can’t see what’s going on underwater. How about we start the boat and move forward, try a new spot?" Sun Zheng suggested, seeing that there was no new activity.
Ordinary anglers would not be moved by these words, but upon hearing them, Lin Yang was enlightened.
Since it was the rainy season in the Amazon, the river water looked murky, and ordinary people could not see the conditions underwater, but he had the skill to observe fish behavior, enhanced version at that, so if he observed carefully, he could still make out the conditions under the water to some extent.
