The Yingke Platform's live stream software can only normally call the phone's built-in camera. Achieving high-definition bobber viewing without any modifications is impossible.

But who is Zhang Yang? He has a trick!

Before starting the stream, Zhang Yang specifically bought an external zoom lens online, which can be attached to the phone's camera with a mount. This way, he can achieve high-definition viewing of the bobber.

The zoom magnification of the external lens is 18 times. Even with the current 7.2-meter long rod, the bobber on the water's surface is still clearly visible.

The only minor downside is the slow speed of focusing on the target, requiring patience to adjust it bit by bit. Then the live streaming stand is fixed, and Zhang Yang can handle minor adjustments, as the bobber's drop point doesn't vary much each time!

Zhang Yang swiftly took out the lens and mount from the toolkit and began the live installation and adjustment in front of the stream viewers.

In less than a minute, the rear lens stabilized, and Zhang Yang made a few final adjustments, successfully locking onto the bobber in the water.

The super-clear three-eye bobber appeared a vivid orange in the water, with a clarity as if right in front of them.

[Holy crap! Brother Yang, what kind of high-tech is this? It really can give you high-def bobber viewing!]

[The lens offers such clear bobber viewing, it's like it's right in front of me! How did you do it?]

[Yesterday I saw a streamer called Sparrow Fishing Guy live fishing on Yingke, but besides shouting when catching fish, there was no experience of watching the bobber during the stream.

Originally, I thought fishing live streaming was just like that, but now, he and Brother Yang aren't even on the same level!]

[An external phone lens? My roommate bought a wide-angle lens one time, probably a similar principle, right? Brother Yang, could you explain it!]

Seeing the viewers in the stream room all exclaiming in awe, Zhang Yang felt greatly satisfied.

Though it's a simple principle, to find a compatible mount and lens for streaming from a phone, Zhang Yang searched for several days online before figuring it out.

"Haha, how's the effect? It's from attaching an external lens to the phone! The clarity is alright, but the target shakes a bit when locking on!" Zhang Yang said pleasantly.

[More than alright, it's fantastic! I'm calling it now; this thing is definitely going to be a big hit in the future! Fishing Live Stream's display effect is simply maxed out!]

[Brother Yang is amazing, not only is his fishing technique top-notch, but his handling of equipment is also impressive!]

[Fishing Enthusiast: This lens definitely offers impressive bobber viewing, but I feel it could still be upgraded!

If money's not a problem, get a professional broadcasting station, compile the signals of two camera videos to present panoramic and bobber close-ups in picture-in-picture split screen, and the presented streaming effect would be more professional!]

The suggestion was made casually, but Zhang Yang listened intently. In his past life, watching others stream, he had seen such effects achieved with bulky equipment.

For some reason, though professional, this setup didn't become a mainstream standard for fishing streamers as time went on.

Anyway, now with money and people, he might as well ask about it. Perhaps it could present an even better streaming effect.

Zhang Yang looked at the profile of an account called Fishing Enthusiast and casually sent a friend request.

"Hey, Fishing Enthusiast buddy, how do you set up this streaming station equipment? I've added you as a friend, and after the stream, can you tell me about it privately? If it's suitable, I'll consider getting a setup too!" Zhang Yang said humbly.

[Fishing Enthusiast: No problem, I'll accept your request! Contact me after the stream! Setting this up is our area of expertise!]

"Alright! Please send me your contact info, and I'll get in touch after the stream!"

Receiving an immediate response from the viewers made Zhang Yang feel even more delighted!

In his previous life, he had considered fishing live streaming, but he didn't understand personnel, equipment, or technology and primarily focused on competitive matches, ultimately abandoning it.

This life is different; with financial backing, everything else isn't a problem!

As they were chatting casually, they saw the bobber on camera suddenly rise slightly by more than one black line, then give a crisp small downward nod!

[Wow, this bite action is beautiful! Delightful!]

[What are you waiting for? Lift the rod, it's biting the bait!]

[Lift the rod, can't you see such a clear bite?]

[This is driving OCD crazy! Is Meng Fan short-sighted and didn't see the bobber dipping?]

The viewers in the live stream room saw a fish biting the bait, but the streamer didn't lift the rod, driving them crazy with urgency.

It wasn't until the fish lifted the bobber vertically in the water that Meng Fan realized and jerked the rod to hook the fish.

After a brief tug-of-war, a half-pound big bream was lifted out of the water.

Zhang Yang didn't rush to remind Meng Fan and temporarily ignored the viewers' teasing comments.

It wasn't that Zhang Yang was looking down on them with disdain, but he wanted to figure out what was going on.

According to his understanding of Meng Fan's fishing skills, focused and watching the bobber, this minor mistake shouldn't have occurred.

"Boss, fish on! This bream had a good burst of strength when I lifted the rod!"

With one hand pinching the big bream's gill cover crevice, Meng Fan showed it off in the air with a wide grin revealing a set of white teeth.
