83: Chapter 83: Two Catties and Three Taels of Wild Crucian Carp 83: Chapter 83: Two Catties and Three Taels of Wild Crucian Carp “Is this really a reservoir that hasn’t been opened for ten years?
How are the fish doing?”
“Have you caught any big fish yet?
Cockroach886: “From what I can see, both the environment and the water quality seem nice.
Can the host provide a full panoramic overhead view?”
Among the numerous scrolling comments, Yue Feng saw the message from Cockroach886.
This guy had been there since the beginning of Yue Feng’s livestream, and he usually supported the host by sending gifts.
It was unexpected that he showed up again today.
“Welcome, Brother Cockroach886, to the livestream!
It’s just a panoramic view, everyone pay attention, and let’s get started!”
With a thought, Yue Feng’s drone began to ascend.
As the altitude increased, the entire terrain of the reservoir came into full view.
Through the drone’s perspective, Yue Feng’s campsite, the fishing posts, trees sprouting green buds along the shore, and the glittering water surface, everything was clearly visible to the viewers in the livestream.
“Damn, what kind of reservoir is this?
It looks really nice!
Even the campsite for the tents is chosen superbly!”
“Jealous, does the host have to make us hate him so much!”
“The reservoir is so large, it must be a few hundred acres!
Wonder if there are any big fish!”
Cockroach886 sent a Rocket!
Cockroach886 sent a Heartthrob!
Cockroach886 sent a Bro!
Cockroach886: “Bro, this place looks nice.
Are food and transport convenient?
I really want to visit sometime!”
“I’ll send you the exact address in a private message once I’m off the stream!
Transport is decent, the roads aren’t great but drivable.
However, accommodations are not very convenient, the nearest village is over ten kilometers away!
You’ll need to prepare your own meals!”
As Yue Feng was answering the question, he suddenly noticed the float dipping again in a biting motion, and reflexively jerked the rod for a hook set.
“Fish on!” Yue Feng called out, and with a thought, the drone returned to the regular livestream viewpoint.
The rod is bent into a great arc!”
In previous streams, a single crucian carp couldn’t make the rod bend like that!”
“I also think it’s a double take!
Look at the curvature on the rod, it’s bending all the way to the base of the second segment!”
While controlling the fish, Yue Feng said, “It’s just one fish.
It swims quite freely underwater, not a double take.
I estimate this fish is over one and a half pounds!”
The livestream was suddenly flooded with a barrage of confused Black Man Question Mark faces.
I used Rice Wine for bait in a spot in front of the weeds; the water’s pretty shallow there, not more than a meter and a half deep.
It’s unlikely to be any other big fish!”
“You must be kidding, a spot that close, catching a crucian carp over one and a half pounds?
It must be carp or a carp type!”
“I also think it’s carp!
Crucian carp should have surfaced by this time; they don’t have such good stamina!”
As the discussions went on in full swing, the fish finally exhausted its strength and surfaced.
A flash of a silvery tail.
This fish must be about two pounds!”
The previously arguing crowd in the live stream was suddenly dumbfounded.
As they lifted it up with a net, it was indeed a carp, even bigger than Yue Feng had expected, with a broad, thick back and a plump, round body—it looked to be about two pounds.
Yue Feng took out a digital scale and quickly weighed it.
In market catties, that’s already two and a quarter pounds.
Congratulations on catching a large carp, breaking the previous record for single fish weight, Points +1000!
Congratulations on earning the card reward “Big Fish Must Kill (Carp)”
“Big Fish Must Kill (Carp)”: A one-time functional card.
Upon activation, this card will grant a special effect of Big Fish Must Kill for (Carp) within a 30m radius of the fishing spot, ensuring the largest carp in that range will definitely bite!
Just one carp broke the previous weight record, not only yielding a thousand points but also a special card.
The card’s effect seemed pretty dominant, but Yue Feng wasn’t in a rush to use it and let it stay in the virtual space.
A wild local carp weighing two pounds and a quarter!
Caught live on stream!
The host is gonna soar!
I’ve been fishing for over ten years and have never seen such a big carp!”
“Tell me about it; I’ve been running a restaurant for ten years, handled countless fish, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a big wild local carp!”
“You guys are exaggerating a bit on the floors above.
Around here, we have a lot of carps weighing one or two pounds, supposedly stocked by people.
It’s not as exaggerated as you say!”
“Third floor, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
This is a local carp, do you understand!
What you’re referring to are engineered carps, a hybrid species that can grow up to four or five pounds or even bigger.
There’s no comparison with this one!”
“Ah, if only it weren’t so far away, I’d buy it to give away.
Such a big carp, you can’t necessarily buy it with money!”
This was the first time Yue Feng had caught such a big carp, and he was somewhat stunned.
Excited, Liu Fengnian came over with a folding bucket, gesturing for Yue Feng to put the fish in his bucket.
Yue Feng didn’t know what Brother Liu was planning, but since he was live-streaming, it wasn’t convenient to ask aloud, so he just put the fish in the bucket.
The folding bucket Liu Fengnian brought over was quite interesting; it had a netting seal at the top which, once pulled, enclosed the fish and then he dropped it back into the water.
When retrieving it, there was no need to rummage through the Fish Guard, and the fish didn’t die.
Upon catching the big carp, Yue Feng’s teammates were also ecstatic, ignoring their regular bait replacement and unanimously rummaged for Rice Wine to continue feeding to target bigger individual carps.
After less than half an hour of trial fishing, Yue Feng had a preliminary judgment, carps over a pound were very common here, and ones below a pound were rarely seen, almost hard to come by.
This moment truly highlighted the importance of resources; if this were downstream at Qinglong Lake, catching such a big fish would be bragworthy for a while.
But in the reservoir, if there was a bite, it was mostly carps over a pound, making the live streaming viewers drool massively.
Fishing wild pound-sized carps continuously, this was much better than fishing in Black Pit!
Cockroach886: “Host, is this place open for outsiders to come and play?
We’ll pay if it costs, no big deal!”
Drowned Fish: “Yeah, seeing the host catch such great fish, I feel like even my six-ounce carp isn’t appealing anymore!
There’s no comparison!
Can we pay to come and play?
It’s almost May Day, let’s plan a trip and enjoy!”
Fish Not Fish: “I also want to go, literally drooling over here!”
Faced with inquiries from the live stream viewers, Yue Feng didn’t give in.
“It’s temporarily not open to the public.
I was only able to come here thanks to a friend who had other friends pull some strings!”
To prove he wasn’t lying, Yue Feng thought for a moment and swept the camera across his four friends who were still focused on fishing, including Liu Fengnian and Ma Boqiang.
