Chapter 15: Chapter 015: Unique Skills
Lin Yang touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Uh, is there no signal?"
He could clearly see that there were over thirty people in the live streaming room, and more tourists kept entering to watch.
But now, with so many people, not one was speaking.
However, just three seconds later, the chat started exploding with messages.
"Damn, the host is a pro!"
"Now I believe it, it's not that the host's fishing skills are bad, it was me being foolish."
"I was foolish too, turns out what the host said about the 'one-eye' not being a bite reflex was true."
"Host is 666, this live streaming effect is simply amazing."
"This is the first time I've seen a fishing streamer with such effects, way better than those clumsy and repetitive fishing hosts."
"Damn, what kind of people are in this room, what are you all thinking, why is your focus different from mine? Did nobody notice that perfect float bite earlier? That's the essence of watching fishing."
"+1 to the above, the host's 13-setting is so smooth, a 'one-eye' action isn't a bite, giving a 'two-eye' massive bite! These are early spring fish, give other fishermen some face, will ya."
"Hope the host can share the float depth setting and line setup, tsk tsk, that bite earlier was really crisp and neat, absolutely brilliant!"
Seeing some of the flattery from the viewers, Lin Yang just smiled.
It wasn't something extraordinary, many who fished frequently or studied fishing knew this, and his skills had gradually improved because he devoted himself to fishing.
'Brother Aquatic has entered the live stream'
'Brother Aquatic has rewarded a plane'
"Just woke up, bro you started streaming early, caught any fish yet?"
Just then, Brother Aquatic entered the live stream and sent over a plane.
"Thanks for the gift, Brother. Just started streaming, caught the first fish, you haven't missed anything by coming to the stream now," Lin Yang immediately thanked him and gave an update on the fishing situation.
"When will the bait I bought last night be shipped? I'm itching to go fishing already."
Lin Yang: "It will be shipped this morning, you'll get it by the afternoon if it's within the same city."
Brother Aquatic: "Alright, I'll wait for your bait this afternoon."
In the live stream, a few viewers also urged, saying they couldn't wait to use the bait.
Lin Yang promised each one that, as long as they placed their orders before noon, he would ship them all at midday.
On the water, the float that had just been cast bobbed down once, then gave a double big dip, just like the bite from the previous Crucian Carp.
Lin Yang hooked another fish, but this one was noticeably larger than the last; the rod didn't pull the fish out of the water immediately when lifted.
After a brief fight with the fish, he finally pulled it up.
"Haha, not bad, a Big Plate Crucian Carp!" Lin Yang said.
The fish looked a bit smaller in the water, but when he lifted it out with a small landing net and held it up by the gill, he showed everyone the Big Plate Crucian Carp.
This was a genuine wild Big Plate Crucian Carp, slender and well-proportioned, weighing about half a pound, slightly thin, but looking at the frame, you would believe it were nearly a pound.
"Look at this body, look at this skin, how about that, beautiful isn't it? Just for this fish, a follow from you guys wouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Lin Yang said with a laugh.
"So jealous, looks like it's about seven or eight hundred grams, almost a pound."
"The host is awesome, caught a Big Plate Crucian Carp as the second fish."
Air Force Commander: "The bite just now was pretty neat, what brand is the host's float? I want to get one myself."
Seeing someone asking about the float, Lin Yang smiled sheepishly, "The float was a gift from a friend, I don't even know the brand. I only have this one."
Air Force Commander: "Can you part with it? I can pay a high price, this float is way better than the ones I collect."
"Wait a bit, I'll see if I can arrange a few for everyone later."
Air Force Commander: "Okay."
Twice it was proven that the enhanced bait Lin Yang was using had indeed worked wonders.
Once he baited the spot, Crucian Carp would bite almost back to back, the small ones around a quarter to half a pound, the big ones over half a pound.
Aside from many viewers in the live stream who were very envious, some of the fishermen sitting nearby were just staring blankly.
With so many people around, only he was catching fish frequently which made many fishermen stop and come over to watch the excitement.
The middle-aged man sitting at Hua Jian's spot was the closest to Lin Yang. He had watched Lin Yang's entire process, from baiting to catching fish, from start to finish.
The two of them were fishing side by side, the fishing spots not more than sixteen feet apart, yet Lin Yang was catching one after another while he just stared blankly, not getting a single bite.
He felt that this situation was definitely directly related to the bait and feeding material.
"Bro, what bait are you using? Why is it so effective?"
"Yeah, what kind of magic bait is it? Share it with us, will you?" Some of the onlookers joined in.
Seeing everyone's interest in the bait, Lin Yang smiled and began to explain, "Ha ha, this is rice wine mash I mixed up myself yesterday. Today is the second time I've used it, and the effect on drawing fish to feed is truly very good, definitely way better than the usual bait!"
Upon hearing Lin Yang himself say that he had caught so many fish because he used a secret bait recipe, more people in the crowd behind became restless.
"A secret recipe? What is it? Can you tell us?"
"Exactly, what's the secret recipe? Let us try too!"
"Where did you buy it, and how much was it?"
Lin Yang shook his head, "I can't reveal the recipe, but you can try some from me. If you feel the trial is effective, you can purchase it from my live stream's channel."
Upon hearing they could try a bit, the crowd was overjoyed, desperate to give it a go.
"Give me a bag."
"Get me a bag too!"
"And me, if it's good I'll definitely support your live streams."
The previously scattered crowd squeezed in unanimously, eager to try.
"No need to rush, I brought plenty today, everyone will get a share."
While Lin Yang told everyone to not crowd, he took out a bottle of prepared red yeast rice and poured a bit for everyone.
It was still a bit cold now, and in this season, wild fishing primarily targeted Crucian Carp, which had a smaller appetite, so a portion of about one and a half ounces was just right for each person.
Soon, over ten fishermen each had their share of the secret bait, and they quickly returned to their fishing spots to get busy.
Seeing this, Lin Yang also smiled, knowing that these were all free moving advertisements.
Fishermen generally have their own social circles, whether on forums, Douyin, or friends' circles. As long as the bait performed well, he would surely share his catches everywhere. When others asked about it, his secret bait would naturally become famous too.
