Chapter 713 - 300: Bluefin Bursting Through the Water
Five minutes later, the fish biting on the hook reluctantly made its way to the side of the boat, dragged by Lin Yang. It occasionally writhed, engaged in a final struggle.
However, it no longer had enough energy to perform the frantic gill-washing it did at the start.
This was precisely the outcome Lin Yang wanted. With larger fish like this, it was best to avoid contact when they were full of energy. A struggle could result in injuries from being hit or thrown.
Especially when removing the hook, ensuring the big fish was unable to easily thrash was crucial, else it would be very dangerous.
"Ah, this... I’ll go get the gaff."
Yue’er had been waiting with the landing net for a while, but upon seeing the size of the fish, she felt disheartened.
The fish was too big; the landing net in her hands was insufficient for lifting it aboard, necessitating a different tool.
"I’ll do it myself."
After placing his fishing rod onto the boat, Lin Yang took the gaff Yue’er had brought, grasping the line with one hand and the gaff with the other.
Then, aiming carefully, he hooked the Big Sea Bass’s gill cover with the gaff, gradually lifting the Big Sea Bass out of the sea, bit by bit.
The moment this Big Sea Bass, which had gone crazy gill-washing shortly before, emerged from the water, the live stream’s comment section exploded.
