Li Xiaopeng was aware of the direction the line was going out and couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Yang took a look at the line going out; almost a hundred meters of line had already been taken.
"It's almost hit bottom, and the fish has expended some of its strength, so you can tighten the line a bit more now, and then reel in," Lin Yang instructed. "If it takes out line, let it do so. Keep reeling on your end to prevent it from diving into the crevices of rocks at the bottom."
"Okay!"
Li Xiaopeng tightened the line cup a bit as instructed, then grabbed the rod with one hand and furiously spun the fishing reel with the other.
As he reeled in the line on one end, the big fish underwater frantically dived down, taking out line in a wild run. It seemed as though a tug-of-war of strength was taking place between the two.
After a stalemate of several minutes, Li Xiaopeng's hands were almost cramping from turning, yet he still could not overcome the big fish underwater.
