The lively herring, even with a huge hook hanging from its back, still struggled mightily once in the water.
Normally it would stay near the surface, but now it was dragging the fishing rig downward.
This behavior was different from the conventional kite fishing method; in the end, it was because the swimming strength of the fish was slightly greater than the force of the kite and the fishing rig, resulting in a minor loss of balance.
However, Captain Harry and Lin Yang, upon noticing this, did not immediately reel it back in for readjustment.
The fish paste had just been deployed, and the big fish wouldn't arrive that quickly; moreover, diving a few meters deep just marginally affected the observation of bait-eating, having a negligible impact on the actual fishing.
As they entered a waiting state, on the other side, the fishing boats with Gao Bai and others aboard were the first to make a catch.
