Wow, he's even come up with a catchy rhyme for his fishing livestream! Zhang Yang's exceptional understanding of fishing techniques is perfectly showcased at this moment!

[I've noted it down! Just apply it whenever you're unsure about something!]

[What a treasure of a streamer, I love it so much!]

[I've decided, from today onwards, I'm your loyal fan! This streamer is awesome, genuinely shares knowledge without holding back!]

[I feel the streamer has a solid grasp of theoretical foundations for platform fishing, a real expert!!]

If the series of fishing technique explanations earlier made the viewers start to understand Zhang Yang gradually, then the deep dive into fishing adjustments just now elevated the whole interaction to a new level.

These things are very helpful for a fisher to establish a mature theoretical cognition system. With dedication, anyone eager to learn fishing could avoid many detours.

In Hui Province, a fishing enthusiast in his thirties.

A minute ago, he was engrossed in watching the livestream on his phone, and after Zhang Yang finished his lecture, he immediately rushed out of his house full of enthusiasm.

His dad loves raising koi, and the newly constructed koi pond in the yard had just been filled with water and hadn't started cultivating algae yet; the meter-deep water was crystal clear at the moment.

Regarding the conclusions Zhang Yang confidently shared just now, the young man felt excited after hearing them. He had the perfect conditions for testing, so he immediately got busy.

He quickly took his fishing gear out of the car, set up the line assembly with a bobber, and began testing and adjusting the bobber.

Testing each one in the koi pond: regular wild blue crucian pulling bait, pinch bait with added snail carp fat food, and unused red worm and earthworm.

Practice is the only standard for testing truth. With the same leveling water adjustment, fishing two marks, indeed the pulling bait and pinch bait reached the bottom, but with live bait red worm and earthworm attached, you could see through the clear water that the hook was indeed floating!

Through personal practice verification, the vague cognition in his heart was completely reconstructed at this moment.

The young man also tried weighing the bait using Zhang Yang's suggested method, then adjusted the views and fishing methods based on different bait weights.

After each attempt, he carefully observed the entire fishing assembly through the water surface, checking the angles of the water line and wind line, and the condition of the double hook on the bottom. The practical tests matched exactly what Zhang Yang explained!

"Phew… it's really a crime not to respect a master!"

The young man worked hard for half the day, sincerely sighing and raising his evaluation of Zhang Yang's skills by three points.

"Dongzi, why are you holding the rod? Have you gone mad with fishing?"

At this moment, his dad entered the yard from the door, slightly annoyed, and scolded him.

"Nothing much, just doing some blind experiments!"

The dad saw the fish bait placed in front of his son, frowned, and looked at the water just recently added into the pond, suddenly his face changed.

Repeated casting trials had left the bottom with patches of red-green fish food dissolved below.

Even though the koi pond had a filtration system installed, his dad, who passionately loved raising fish, was extremely picky about the state of the water and the fish food.

In his view, with all this random fish bait, the whole pond seemed ruined instantly.

"Who told you to fiddle around in the pond! You've messed up the water!" His dad raised a broomstick and swung at him.

"Ouch, don't hit, don't hit!"

In an instant, the house was bustling with 'fatherly love and filial piety'.

...

The livestream in Zhang Yang's channel continued. After such a long broadcast, the phone's battery had long been exhausted, and the second power bank had been swapped in.

Meng Fan followed Zhang Yang's reminder, making a series of adjustments to the fishing setup. After the adjustments, indeed, those minor disturbances were filtered out.

More and more patches were added, but the bobber within the area remained motionless, as if cast into a water tank.

"Boss, after these adjustments, there's still no catch!"

Earlier, there were signs of movement in Meng Fan's fishing area, and Zhang Yang had requested adjustments. The intense anticipation was held back, causing slight emotional fluctuation.

Zhang Yang: "It's normal not to catch anything! Big fish entering the area will definitely stroll around the surroundings first, picking scraps from the outer parts before gradually swimming into the central area!"

"Then what should be done?"

"Just chill! Wait! Guarding big fish can't be rushed, and also, it's best to lower the noise while talking, big fish are really cunning!" Zhang Yang continued sharing his experience!

"Um, I need to go to the bathroom, please keep an eye on it for me, I'll be back soon!" Meng Fan nodded and got up from his fishing spot.

"Alright! I'll watch it for you!" Zhang Yang replied offhandedly.

Meng Fan didn't actually need to use the bathroom; instead, he wanted to smoke since he hadn't smoked throughout the entire livestream and the fish wouldn't bite. Livestream smoking would violate rules, so he opted for the bathroom excuse.

There's a frighteningly accurate rule in the fishing community: two chances a day; either it's lighting a cigarette or using the restroom.

Accidents occurred under such circumstances; Meng Fan had just exited the frame, gone for less than thirty seconds, when, under the HD camera view, the bobber suddenly responded.

Three-mark fishing mark, without any warning, it plunged down entirely black out!

The speed was extremely fast; even Zhang Yang, crouched by the livestream rig, was caught off guard.

[Whoa, it hit black bobber, fierce bite!]

[Got the bait, got the bait! Pull the rod!]

[Directly black bobber on three marks, what on earth is this!]

Zhang Yang was just about to step over and catch hold of the rod, when suddenly there was a swipe sound. The line ahead of the rod tightened and swiftly pulled the rod into the water.
