Facing the enthusiasm of the livestream viewers, Zhang Yang grinned at the camera: "Alright, since everyone wants to chat, let's take this time before dinner to casually chat with the brothers.

You guys here don't have to stand under the blazing sun, let's all head to the shade of the small grove!"

Quickly, under Zhang Yang's direction, about thirty people followed him into the small grove behind the prefab house.

The grove had poplar trees that were four or five years old, with not a single weed on the tidy ground.

Usually, many fishing friends gather here in groups with their friends, and after packing up in the morning, they are in no rush to leave, but rather have Lao Meng cook a few signature dishes, and have a small drink during lunch as a treat.

You could say that Lao Meng's fishing spot has become a gathering point for high-density fishing enthusiasts, who like to come here whenever they have nothing to do.

At this moment, folding tables and stools were already set up in the small grove, and crates of beer were also prepared.

Everyone found a stool to sit on, and quickly the chaotic atmosphere quieted down.

It was strange, although no one maintained order, everyone spontaneously formed a circle around Zhang Yang's seat.

Not only the stream viewers, but even the fans who came to the gathering, including Zhu Wentao and his crew, were amazed by Zhang Yang's performance today.

In Zhu Wentao's view, losing some money on a fishing bet doesn't matter, but if losing offline can teach you something real, it's better than anything.

Zhang Yang found a good place to sit and turned to Wang Yan unhurriedly: "Alright, everyone is settled, so if anyone has any questions, go ahead and ask!

Those who have been watching my streams from the start know that I don't like to hide anything about fishing. If you have any questions, just ask, and I'll provide the real stuff!"

Wang Yan nodded, glanced at the chat, and said: "The most asked question in the chat is about the fishing technique you used to catch that big common carp this morning!

Many people are clamoring to become your apprentice and learn from you!

Flying big common carp makes the originally fancy Flying Copy feel not so appealing anymore!"

Zhang Yang grinned: "The principle behind this is actually quite simple! If you want to learn, I can talk about it in general!

First of all, the old rule. Before discussing the techniques, let's talk about the scenarios where this fishing method is applied!

This technique of directly flying the common carp with a Blocking Needle without a landing net, I personally call it the Flying Kicking technique!

Its main application is in conditions of high fish density or locally high fish density.

For example, today's fishing competition, where a ton of fish were cast, averaged over three hundred pounds per person, and the fish were biting well, it's suitable for this method to quickly and efficiently grab fish.

If the brothers in front of the phone are dealing with low-density and expensive fishing ponds, this method won't work well!

Next, I'll talk about why this Flying Kicking technique isn't suitable for low-cost fishing spots, from both hardware preparation and technical aspects!

You all know that the typical carp stocked in black pits usually weigh at least two pounds.

To directly fly the fish out successfully, the strength requirements for the rod, line setup, and hook are quite high!

The fishing rod and hardware setup I used today are just for your reference!

For the rod, I modified my own Super Hard Flying Fish Rod, selecting a Combat Rod with smooth overall power conduction and sufficient hardness. I sawed off the first section of the tip from a suitable thickness position and added a little braid!

The fishing setup includes a 3.5# main line, a rod length of 3.9 meters paired with a main line length of about 3.4 meters, a 2.5# leader line, folded at 70 cm, with a 4# reinforced New Kanto hook!

You might not find a rod with the exact hardness as mine, but this setup approach is just for your reference!

If unsure, test it out with a mineral water bottle before fishing. If the bottle can be lifted without sagging significantly at a distance of about two and a half pounds, it should suffice!

Oh, and to try Flying Kicking for common carp, you also need to modify a Blocking Needle that's hard enough.

My method is to find a thickened carbon steel needle, remove the original thin Blocking Needle, expand the fixed seat's hole, and replace it by securing it tightly!

The standard is simple, the Blocking Needle must withstand the weight of a two-plus-pound fish without deforming, and that should suffice!

After discussing hardware preparation, many viewers might still not understand.

It might sound normal, so why is this setup not suitable for low density fish conditions?

First, the rod used for Flying Kicking carp is quite hard, and naturally, it's very heavy, making long periods of casting tiring!

Plus, an ultra-hard rod cannot be made very long.

In my opinion, 3.9 meters or 4.2 meters is probably the limit for rods of this hardness; longer rods are hard to manage and uncomfortable to hold!

Second, the longer the rod, the stronger it is.

In smaller or more remote spots, most fish will be at farther distances. When everyone else uses rods of 4.5 or even 4.8 meters, using a 3.9-meter rod makes it hard to outperform others.

Third, to ensure normal Flying Kicking fishing, the line setup is usually thick.

During high-density fish feeding frenzies, this thick hook and line might be fine, but in low-density pits, when fish are cautious about taking the bait, it's hard to catch fish well with thick lines and big hooks.

You will definitely experience line setups blocking bites, the fish nibbling cautiously, and the difficulty of biting properly!

This results in being unable to accurately catch bites, leading to frequent missed fish, snagged fish, scattered bait, and a series of unfortunate chain reactions!
