The barrage that had been endlessly discussing just moments ago quieted down naturally during the time of hooking and playing the fish as over two thousand viewers in front of their phones held their breaths, waiting for the big fish to exhaust itself and beach.
Next, the big fish surged intermittently a few more times, but it didn't stir up much spray, rather, it accelerated the exhaustion of its strength. In less than 10 minutes, the fish's energy was entirely depleted. It could no longer maintain its swimming posture underwater and floated to the surface, belly up.
Seeing the pale belly of the fish, Lin Yang's tense nerves also relaxed significantly.
He slowly pulled the fish closer, hooked the landing net with his left foot and grabbed it, then submerged the large net head below the water surface. With his right hand pushing on the rod, he pulled the fish into the landing net, scooped once, pulled, and achieved a perfect catch.
