Even now, in this very challenging fishing situation, when a fish suddenly bites, Yue Feng's technique of raising the rod and hooking the fish still retains enough control.
Don't be fooled by the pellet and corn on the hook; the hook isn't actually big. The pellet had been trimmed before hooking, and the corn was hooked through the germ eye, with only a No. 7 sleeve hook barely exposed.
However, a small hook has its advantages; a small hook means a thinner hook line, causing less irritation to the fish, especially when catching a big one. This makes the big fish stay calmer.
The fish in the water was in this very state; after being hooked, it only felt slight discomfort. Once it stabilized, Yue Feng lowered himself and played with the fish deftly.
