Chapter 212: Sailing and Fishing_3

At that moment, as the lure hit bottom and the line stopped running, he felt an enormous force coming from underneath the water within a second.

This sensation far exceeded the power of the Big Mouth Bass he caught earlier. If he discounted the rod's tension effect, with his extensive experience in lure angling, he estimated that this fish was at least seven or eight pounds.

The drag, which had previously been adjusted, began to scream as line ran out uncontrollably; the force underwater vastly surpassed the drag's limit, lending the drag almost useless now.

When targeting fish species ranging from one to three and a half kilograms, Lin Yang would use number two PE line.

The number two PE line typically had a breaking strength of around 20 pounds, but any fishing line he used was endowed with a line-protecting buff, which improved its performance by about twenty percent. This meant the actual breaking strength of the line was close to 24 pounds.
