When will the fish come out of the water!

Many people, after landing a big fish, are very eager to see the size of the fish as soon as possible, which is a very typical mistake made by beginners!

If you make this mistake, the chances of the fish escaping are over ninety-nine percent!

Why is that!

When a big fish gets hooked and doesn't struggle violently, it actually benefits the angler in playing with the fish. As long as you wear down the fish's energy, you can lead it to the surface and catch it!

And what happens if you pull it out of the water before it exhausts its energy?

The fish will be stimulated by the light and use all its strength to escape!

Under full sprint, the fishing gear is unlikely to withstand such a burst of force! The result can only be escaping fish and broken line!

Two typical examples of losing fish are pulling it out of the water quickly during the day, or at night using a strong flashlight to shine on it, causing the fish to be startled and flee. Make sure to avoid these!

If there are no problems with the previous misconceptions, and you luckily lead the fish to the water's surface, the next thing to pay attention to is landing the fish!

Emphasize again, you must land the fish in the direction of the fish's head!

The most reliable method of landing fish is to bury the landing net in the water ahead of time, then pull the fish into the net! This makes mistakes difficult.

The wrong approach is, many people are quite bold and eager, chasing the fish's tail with a landing net before the fish has flipped over, not noticing the hook snags the net, and the fish escapes, failing regrettably!

If you handle these key points properly, and add a little bit of luck, you might just land a big fish!"

...

Meng Fan continues playing with the fish, remaining cautious with precise posture and detailed handling. Although the big fish keeps the fishing line buzzing, it just can't shake off the fishing gear and rod's restrictions, wasting its energy!

This fish was played for eighteen minutes, and finally lost energy slowly. Meng Fan sensed the fish's power decreasing markedly and tentatively lifted the rod.

Sure enough, the big fish under the water slowly emerged to the surface.

A carp weighing at least over fifteen pounds!

Meng Fan seized the opportunity to splash water on the fish, and the fish struggling a moment ago calmed down considerably. Meng Fan once again controlled the fish, splashing water, and it gave up struggling, soon flipping over and floating on the surface.

"It's flipped! Buddy, grab me a big landing net! The previous net's head diameter was only 35 centimeters, too small!"

"Okay!"

Zhang Yang immediately got up, unscrewed the small net head, quickly replaced it with a large triangular fish specialized net head, and handed it to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan executed the landing fish standard operation that Zhang Yang had covered a short while ago perfectly, burying the net head into the water ahead of time, exerting force with the right hand, and pulling the flipped carp into the net.

"Phew… Done!" Meng Fan set down the fishing rod with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yang glanced at the catch, grinned, and reminded: "Don't rush to rest. The friends in the live stream are still waiting to see your catch!

Hurry up, show everyone the catch, this big carp is really impressive!"

The "impressive" Zhang Yang mentioned wasn't just empty words, because this fish was indeed very beautiful.

First of all, a fish over ten pounds doesn't have that big-bellied fat carp appearance but has a long, sturdy body. Aside from the mouth that slopes down resembling a pig's nose, the whole fish's physique is more like a grass carp.

The slender body is one thing, but what's even more attractive is its scales and tail.

Golden scales shine brightly under sunlight, with not a single large scale missing, tightly arranged in a pattern, looking very aesthetic.

Coupled with the bright red tail, the whole fish is incredibly beautiful!

Meng Fan held a towel in his right hand, gripping the position behind the fish's gills, and supported the fish's belly with his left hand, striking a pose right in front of the camera.

[Wow wow wow! It's so big!]

[Such a beautiful carp!]

[Estimated to be over fifteen pounds, so long, should be a male fish!]

[Including the time spent on the sea rod pulling, in total, the fishing playtime exceeded half an hour, not easy at all!]

[Damn, watching the live stream of catching big fish, my heart beats fast, damn it, taking a day off to go fishing tomorrow!]

...

During the time Meng Fan played with the fish, as viewers eagerly awaited the scene of the big fish coming out of the water, the anticipation was maxed out, almost no one left after entering.

At this moment, Zhang Yang's live broadcast room has simultaneously over 6,500 online viewers, just a bit short of the standard number of viewers during treasure chest opening.

Zhang Yang, seeing so many new audiences, decisively added an extra lottery draw.

"Alright, everyone, now here's an ad! Given the live room numbers hitting new highs and little Meng successfully catching a wild carp over 15 pounds, I've decided to do a temporary lottery draw!

The prize, five bags of old jar corn bait for afternoon fishing, total ten sets!

Old rules, it's a lottery on the follow page, if you haven't clicked follow, brothers new here, hurry up and follow, three minutes later, we'll start the draw!"

Currently, giving away free benefits is the trump card for gaining fans, Zhang Yang seizes the moment of high popularity in the live room, this shout resulting in another surge of over a thousand followers!

Within less than six hours of broadcasting, the total followers in the backend have successfully broken through 12,000, even if he goes offline now, he has exceeded the target!

Will Zhang Yang go offline now? Clearly not!

This over ten-pound wild carp successfully verified Zhang Yang's suspicion, the newly introduced large fish may still be unfamiliar with the reservoir environment and haven't started feeding, so it's a good opportunity to target older fish.

For the next two-plus hours, Zhang Yang and Meng Fan continued to add bait and then waited to fish the original spawning pond old fish.

Before going offline, another catch included one original spawning pond carp of seven and a half pounds and one around ten pounds. The first day of the wild fishing rivers live account's live debut, perfectly accomplished!

During the whole live broadcast, Zhang Yang gave away a total of six waves of free benefits, with a total cost of about more than a thousand yuan.

And the income?

After the debut ends, the total number of followers breaks through 13,000, just the gift income from the live room, the host and platform share fifty-fifty, he received over six thousand yuan.

Which means the growth of followers is purely profit, and there's a net leftover of more than four thousand yuan from gift money.

The wild growth during the pioneering period of mobile live-stream platforms, the debut data from Zhang Yang's live stream shows the tip of the iceberg.

After the live stream, Zhang Yang and Meng Fan simply tidied up the equipment, not rushing to clock off but opening a temporary meeting in the reservoir's prefab house.

"Let's talk, after a live stream, any thoughts, where did you perform well, where are a bit lacking?" Zhang Yang raises a hand to hand Meng Fan a bottle of Red Bull, casually asking.

Only two people in the room, Meng Fan didn't stand on ceremony, took it and opened the tab, gulped down a big sip.

After swallowing a gulp of Red Bull and catching his breath, Meng Fan slowly said, "Today didn't pay attention to sun protection, didn't expect the sun to be so harsh under the umbrella! My arms are going to peel!

Another thing, I don't think live streaming is difficult, just find ways to create live effects, draw attention, and guide topics casually!

Today's big fish dragging the rod was a stroke of genius! Watching pulling the rod and catching big fish, the technical aspects you explain, live effects we'll think ahead before the next broadcast!"

Meng Fan is just Meng Fan, despite being his first formal appearance in the live room as a live angler, he sees things clearly, without Zhang Yang's reminder, he already grasps the essence of live streaming, even thinks of creating gimmicks or scripts to enhance live effects.

Zhang Yang listened to Meng Fan, nodded with a smile: "I agree with everything else, but let's not mess with scripts and such! To sum up, I have one opinion, continue executing others, and when broadcasting next and catching big fish again, extend the playing time!"

"Extend playing time? I was already steady enough today! Play even slower?"

"Yes! This is an upfront strategy! You weren't watching the live room status in front of the camera, during your playing time, people entering the live room, very few left! The anticipation is overwhelming!"
