For an experienced angler, the size of the fish he hooks can be roughly gauged within 0.001 seconds of feeling the resistance when pulling the rod.
As one of the top anglers, Zhang Yang has a remarkably accurate judgnt in this regard.
Experts like them use minimal wrist force when pulling the rod; they use small hooks and lightly pierce the fish, so the fish hardly feels any pain.
Nevertheless, when the fish is large, the resistance in the water can reflect the fish's size to so extent.
For instance, Zhang Yang's current catch, the mont after striking, felt as though he'd hooked the bottom, so stable it's intimidating.
The larger the fish, the more steady it is when hooked. Zhang Yang judged, based on the feel and behavior of the fish, that it weighs at least five pounds or more.
Catching a big fish first in the large side of a mixed pond is both a blessing and a curse.
Actually, if Zhang Yang had to choose between catching one big fish and many small ones of equivalent total weight, he would prefer to catch multiple small fish.
Big fish weigh more, but the ti to reel them in is long. Although Zhang Yang isn't too afraid of using 0.8 sub-line, large fish swimming back and forth in the nest inevitably disturb it, affecting subsequent bites.
That being said, since the big fish took the bait, he can't deliberately let it get away.
After hesitating for less than a second, Zhang Yang decided to find a way to reel the fish in!
The mont Zhang Yang raised the rod with the hooked fish, he naturally leaned forward, lowering his center of gravity, and pressed the fishing rod handle towards the ground.
Reeling a large fish with a thin line requires finesse. Zhang Yang adeptly controlled the rod and fish, attentively feeling the strength and direction changes of the fish and adjusting accordingly.
Under Zhang Yang's ticulous reeling, the big fish underwater beca much calr, not escaping or struggling violently, but rather wandering as if on a leisurely walk, swimming left under Zhang Yang's direction for a while, then right.
In this manner, Zhang Yang reeled for nurous laps, taking almost five minutes to exhaust the fish's strength.
A long, slender fish, resembling a Grass Carp, was slowly led to surface by Zhang Yang and soon flipped belly-up after so intentional water splashing by Zhang Yang.
The flipped belly indicated its strength was entirely drained, so at this point, he could scoop it up at will. Even if the hook accidentally ca off, the fish would just float motionless.
Zhang Yang relaxed the bent rod and, holding the landing net with his left hand, expertly scooped forward and pulled back, easily enclosing the fish's head and most of its body into the net.
With the big fish entirely out of the water, Zhang Yang inspected it carefully.
The fish was large, a sowhat skinny original pond Carp, with beautifully glossy scales, especially the bright red tail, evoking a sense of pure wild river Carp.
Quick-handedly holding the fra of the landing net, Zhang Yang quickly pressed and pushed to remove the hook from the fish's mouth, then lifted the fish through the net with his hand, weighed it thoughtfully, and dropped it into the keepnet.
Despite its considerable length, it weighed only about six or seven pounds in hand.
In the old pond fish in the Competition Pond, feeding is mostly insufficient, so despite their cunning, they remain thin and hungry. If this fish had a normal physique, its weight would double.
Regardless, spending five minutes netting a six or seven-pound catch, compared to half-a-pound Crucian Carp hooks, equaled around a dozen fish, leaving Zhang Yang with a great mindset as he wiped his hands with a towel and started bombing again with dual-hooks of the Triangle Cannon damp scatter bait.
The entry of the first big fish into the keep slowed Zhang Yang's fish gathering rhythm by at least two or three minutes, but sitting at the large side, with abundant fish, he could afford it.
Zhang Yang only cast four or five tis with dual-hooks Triangle Cannon damp scatter bait, and communication instantly resud with bobbers in the nest.
With his advantageous fishing spot, fish constantly passed by; Zhang Yang continued casting a few tis, changing to one hook rubbed bait, one hook damp scatter to try a cast.
The dual-hook had just reached the bottom when the bobber hadn't yet steadied, and a sudden tug straight from the bottom occurred!
Seeing this, Zhang Yang pulled the rod to strike again!
Another one!
Even had an interface in the nest, indicating a certain density of fish had accumulated. Zhang Yang continued with one hook Triangle Cannon, one hook rubbed bait, and cast again to catch fish!
After several consecutive catches, Zhang Yang found his rhythm for catching fish.
As ntioned before, in the large side position, anything is possible.
Other anglers manage their nests cautiously, fearing mistakes could scare the fish away and affect their catch.
Putting in effort and care often yields only half the results.
Whereas in the large side position, resources are much better than average spots, even if Zhang Yang consciously replenishes the nest, the compounding effect is exaggerated.
Catch after catch, yet the fish in the nest not only doesn't decrease, but continues to gather; can you believe it?
Seeing this, Zhang Yang's mind beca active again.
With such aggressive fish activity, 0.8 sub-lines even felt a little thin. Should he switch to a thicker one and try Flying Kicking for a while?
With equal angling skills and rapid fish activity, Flying Kicking is definitely faster than Flying Copy Fishing thod, and Flying Copy Fishing is faster than surface fishing. The least efficient is hooking, then having to tire out the fish before netting.
