Soon, Brother Feng learned about his big catch and came over with another unfamiliar friend to the fishing spot nearby.
"Can you handle it, or do you need me to help you reel it in for a while?" Brother Feng asked.
Lin Yang almost agreed in that instant, but ultimately clenched his teeth and didn't give in, "I'll hold on a little longer, we'll see if I can't handle it. The last two surges of effort were much weaker."
And so he endured, for another half an hour.
More than an hour had passed since he hooked the fish, and yet the big fish showed no sign of surfacing, while Lin Yang's arms had begun to tremble uncontrollably.
After about another five minutes, the big fish finally surfaced.
A large fish, pushed up by the force of the rod, briefly showed its head above the water, then plunged down again to exert more force. Its tail slapped the water surface, splashing up waves.
