[Damn it, everyone says Lao Hua and Li Damao are fierce when making fishing spots, but I think new blood is rising in the fishing community. It's our societal brother, Zhang Yang; fierce without many words!]

[With the anchor's investment in making fishing spots, one person fishing could support a small bait shop!]

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with the feedback from the viewers on the public channel. Seeing the live streaming efficacy, he grinned and chuckled, "We don't need that much; this is just to scare the fish in the lake with the ammunition. We'll start with a few dozen pounds and it'll be enough!

No more talk, let's get started!"

Then Zhang Yang planted the live stream setup sturdily and found the ancestral large washbasin before busily getting to work.

Two boxes of Lao Tan corn were moved down from the car and then unpacked in front of everyone and stuffed into the big red basin.

One package of Lao Tan corn is two pounds, Zhang Yang tossed in over twenty packages, filling the oversized plastic basin to the brim.

Next was the physical work. The huge-headed, spoiling spoon began frantically casting at the marked fishing spot.

The textual description might seem uneventful: just throwing bait, but the actual visual impact on-site was extremely powerful.

With each scoop, the spoiling spoon lobbed at least three or four ounces of bait, swinging down with full force, spreading bait over a fan-shaped area of water surface around the fishing spot, passionately marking the territory.

[Oh my God, the anchor has gone crazy!]

[Strongly urge to go play in the anchor's reservoir; when will it be ready? Watching Zhang Yang set up the spot like this, it's unbearable itching in the heart!]

[Live stream at seven tomorrow morning? Alarm is set, will be there on time, hoping for good fish conditions!]

[Zhang Yang, styled as Fishing Immortal, titled Filling Lake True Monarch!]

[Not respecting the expert is a crime, the way he swung the bait spoon had absolute skill, amazing!]

All the bait in the basin was swung down by Zhang Yang. Putting the fish in also worked up a sweat, but not this much. Now that the spot is done, his T-shirt was soaked on the back.

"Phew… the spot is finished! Wait quietly for seven o'clock tomorrow morning to start fishing! Brothers, today's live streaming ends here temporarily, see you tomorrow morning at seven!"

Zhang Yang greeted everyone and closed the live stream!

After making sure the camera was off, Zhang Yang plopped down on the ground, damn it, making a serious fishing spot is not only costly but also physically demanding!

...

While Zhang Yang was busy preparing for the large-scale live stream tomorrow, another live stream was also in progress.

Ding Wen and Chen Xiaodao, the two brothers, teamed up to start their second self-media entrepreneurship journey.

After watching Zhang Yang's debut live stream on the black pit account, they kicked off their own live streaming plan, bought a special high-traffic SIM card, and set up basic equipment like floating camera stands. Soon, they started streaming at a local black pit!

Different from the first attempt to run a public account making videos, which received tepid response and little attention, the debut live stream of the black pit on the first day exceeded their expectations in popularity.

There were very few anglers streaming on the platform, and many were curious about the black pit, the audience with this curiosity comprised a large portion.

Fortunately, the fish conditions in the black pit that day were pretty good. Chen Xiaodao caught a big carp every once in a while. Coupled with Ding Wen's somewhat chatty commentary style, it quickly entered into the streaming groove.

After a live session, the brothers calculated, with just the gifts alone, they earned over 600, split evenly, each getting 300 bucks.

Looking at it this way, even without selling anything, live stream earnings were far better than working at a regular job.

All of a sudden, the enthusiasm for streaming soared for the two, and the next day they both took leave from their jobs and moved to another fishing spot to continue streaming!

Live streaming seems complicated but operation-wise, it's just like any other activity.

Those who hesitate might not know what to say in front of the camera, but once you break through, you can quickly get into the groove.

At this point, Ding Wen's previous fishing experiences came into play, presenting harmless little tricks and techniques whenever there was a chance, not only earning lots of gift rewards but also gaining lots of fans.

Two sessions in, account followers grew to over three thousand, perfectly transitioning through the most likely cold-start phase.

With a clear direction, their minds became agile.

The platform doesn't allow anchors to trade with fans privately, and they have been warned once during the stream; so selling products is not considered for now, but just relying on live stream rewards, they can live quite comfortably.

Streaming for a morning could earn three or four hundred bucks, much higher than regular job wages.

After streaming and discussing, the brothers decided to report to their respective workplaces to suspend their salaries and positions, as there seemed to be potential following in Zhang Yang's footsteps with live streaming fishing!

Thus, in the following week, the duo embarked on a frenzied black pit streaming mode.

High attendance, somewhat chatty commentaries yet full of valuable content, for a while, their streaming account's fan count soared.

In under ten days, it started rolling like a snowball, successfully exceeding ten thousand followers!

At this point, someone might complain!

Streaming every day, ten days of streaming only increased by ten thousand fans, while Zhang Yang's debut easily surpassed ten thousand followers; isn't the gap too large?

Actually, it's not that the gap is large, or the stream quality affected it, but rather the duo was entirely set up from a cold launch, beginning with zero fanbase!

And Zhang Yang?

Zhang Yang had already been running his WeChat public account for several years, allowing his debut to complete a hot launch, naturally with their own fanbase, thus incomparable!

But with time passing, the black pit account's follower count is being chased optimistically by the fishing duo of Ding Wen and Chen Xiaodao, seemingly closing in!

It's foreseeable in the future, these two fishing enthusiasts with no other vision or strength, due to following in Zhang Yang's footsteps with fishing live streams, completely altered their fate, becoming successful individuals admired by common folks.

...

Early the next morning, a little past six, Zhang Yang and Meng Fan gathered at the reservoir as planned!

"Boss, haven't you eaten yet? Brought some bean curd and twisted dough for you! There's still time, have some!"

Meng Fan walked in carrying breakfast he bought for Zhang Yang, thoughtfully adding extra salty chive flowers and spicy chili oil, which looked very appetizing!

"Really, I woke up late, rushed over, and only had a bowl of porridge! Worried about yesterday's large fish release causing problems, I didn't sleep well all night!"

Zhang Yang didn't stand on ceremony with his buddy, accepting breakfast and devouring it ravenously.

"How's the fish? Why didn't you call me when the fish truck arrived? Anyways idle is idle!"

Meng Fan partnering with Zhang Yang had much better treatment than the other trio, with Zhang Yang having more autonomy, handling some petty tasks himself without needing to call Meng Fan!

Work one day, rest one day, and with the main job still being fishing, the fishing anchor gig was even more pleasant than working in a small car class.

"Nothing much, just releasing the fish and making a spot in advance! Old Li and I handled it; you wouldn't have much to do even if you came!

Old Li indeed has some skills in handling fish; I took a stroll at the reservoir this morning, all fish are at the bottom, not one on the water surface! Oh, and yesterday we released two Grandpa Carp!" Zhang Yang said with satisfaction.

"How big? A total of around three thousand pounds?"

"Big black carp, one weighing 97, another over a hundred pounds! So big that they can't even turn around in the fish cabin!"

Raising his arms to indicate their size, Zhang Yang made Meng Fan's eyes glow.

"Wow, I have never seen such big black carp! Wonder if they'll bite today! Lucky enough to catch them up, would be such a thrill!"

Zhang Yang pouted, "Forget it, after such a long trip from Weishan Lake, Old Li says it'll take ten days or half a month for them to regain energy. It's still early; there'll be chances later!"

"Considering what you just said, I'm going to switch to a larger fishing line setup, the 6+4 configuration is a bit small!" Meng Fan said, greeting him as he left the cabin, heading to his car to tweak his fishing gear.

After a round of pre-preparation, at seven o'clock sharp, the second formal reservoir live stream for the Wild Fishing Jianghu account began on time!
