Chapter 535 - 241: Parasitic Catfish
After discussing their plans, Lin Yang and his companions continued to move forward in their small boat, navigating past the marker and soon found themselves on a relatively expansive stretch of water.
According to conventional wisdom, a wide-open stretch of water isn’t necessarily a good spot for fishing predatory fish due to the lack of structural features.
However, after taking a careful look at the surrounding fish activity, Lin Yang noticed that the density of the fish schools underwater was much greater than expected, even better than the promising spot they had just passed.
"This is the place, let’s try our luck here," Lin Yang decided, and soon the fishing boat came to a stop.
Having unlocked two new fish species, he was no longer as thrilled as he had been when he first started catching fish, but the sight of large fish occasionally darting by underwater still caused him to flick his wrist uncontrollably as he cast his lure out.
On the first cast, he quickly hooked a fish. The familiar explosive tug of battle was transmitted from the rod tip to the palm of his hand. With a larger line setup, Lin Yang felt a calm confidence.
After several rounds of reeling in, he effortlessly brought the fish above the water—a three-plus-pound peacock bass surfaced again.
"This peacock bass is too small; we won’t take it back with us," Lin Yang glanced at the size of his catch with a lack of interest.
He casually tossed the fish back into the water and once again cast his lure out, continuing to fish.
