There's an old saying, "The eyes of the masses are always bright."

Even though most of the live stream audience are regular people who don't have a deep understanding of fishing techniques, they can still comprehend the basics.

Zhang Yang's insightful yet straightforward analysis could be described as discussing the essence through the phenomenon, thoroughly explaining the key points of fish situation analysis and judgment.

The feedback from the live stream was very positive, with viewers expressing their thanks in the public chat and a flurry of small tips scrolling continuously on the screen.

This gave Zhang Yang an excellent streaming experience.

Being trusted and appreciated always feels good, no matter when it happens!

"Haha, thanks for the strong support from everyone in the live stream! While everyone's active, for those who haven't followed yet, please give us a follow!

Since big fish have come to the area, it will be hard to catch crucian carp in the afternoon. Let's have Meng Fan cast a few more rods and wait a bit longer, let's see if we can fall and get back up in the same spot!

Meng Fan, can you handle it? Adjust your frequency — cast four or five times quickly, then wait once to see if the big fish give us another chance!"

"Sure thing!" Meng Fan replied, adjusting his frequency and continuing to fish according to Zhang Yang's instructions.

On camera, following Zhang Yang's guidance on the float fishing method, the previous wave of interactive teaching enthusiasm in the live stream began to calm down gradually.

At this moment, many viewers in the live stream were full of anticipation, wondering how long it would take to catch another big fish!

Right then, a quick-witted viewer who had been watching to learn fishing techniques keenly caught onto another technical point and raised a new question in the stream chat.

[Why cast quickly four or five times and then wait once? Is there a reason behind that?]

[I agree with the question above, can't you fish for big fish at the same fast pace as small fish?]

[Brother Yang, Brother Yang, if we're focusing on big fish from the start, what should we do? Anyway, while we're waiting, can you share with us? Watching your stream is more informative than years of practicing alone, it's really educational!]

Zhang Yang had no other topic to interact with viewers, but seeing someone ask a question, he immediately felt this direction was quite suitable, so he briefly organized his thoughts and continued, "Fishing for big fish compared to small fish involves different baiting and fishing approaches!

You need to understand this from the different habits of big and small fish!

How to explain this statement?

Small fish are small and usually swim in schools in various bodies of water, ranging from dozens to hundreds of fish feeding together based on their size.

Big fish tend to be larger, often moving alone or in small groups of three to five while feeding!

This trait alone makes a big difference in baiting and fishing methods!

In a school, when there are many similar fish, they tend to be more courageous, displaying positive feeding behaviors.

Therefore, they do not react too sensitively to repeated casting and reeling actions.

In contrast, large-sized fish are naturally less numerous and have accumulated more experience growing up than small fish, making them more cautious when feeding and approaching bait!

Aside from these traits, small fish move quickly, have small appetites, and feed swiftly.

Big fish move slowly, have larger appetites, and enter bait zones comparatively slowly. However, once they enter, they might consume a larger total amount of the preferred food!

For example, in the active seasons of big fish, such as summer and autumn, an adult grass carp might have a daily food intake reaching 40% or more of its body weight, requiring a significant bait amount!!

Considering these traits, the approach to fishing small fish versus big fish becomes clear.

For small fish, use scattered bait that's hard to quickly consume entirely, such as typical rice for making wine to fish for crucian carp.

The wine rice has a wine scent that spreads out to attract crucian carp, but because it's so fine, the fish can't finish eating it quickly, keeping it in the bait zone for the angler to use.

As for big fish, when facing unknown fishing spots, I prefer to lay bait continuously to nurture the area, achieving the effect of catching big fish!

Big fish have clearly better memories than small fish, they remember feeding routes and bait spots, and continue entering bait zones for food later on.

Taking our local reservoir as an example, if I want to focus on catching big fish, I would at least prepare the bait using large chunks like aged corn for two to three days in advance at a fixed point. This significantly increases the probability of catching big fish when we start the broadcast!"

While they were still chatting, a sharp whoosh sounded, indicating Meng Fan had caught another fish!

Zhang Yang immediately stopped talking, adjusted the camera to give Zhang Yang a shot.

"Big fish?" Zhang Yang asked.

Meng Fan shook his head, "Not very big, should be a two or three kg carp! But it's quite powerful and lively!"

"Oh!" Zhang Yang nodded and relaxed.

There were still quite a few carp weighing two to five kgs left in the reservoir, and their hooking probability far exceeded that of grass carp and black carp.

A few minutes later, Meng Fan skillfully reeled in a carp weighing over three kgs.

"I told you, it's not a big fish!"

Meng Fan grasped the fish securely by its gill cover with one hand, showing off the catch to the live stream audience.

The viewers didn't react much, but upon seeing the carp, Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly as he rose from his seat to take a closer look.

"Don't put it in the net, let me take a look first!"

With that, Zhang Yang closely examined it.
