So Lin Yang had no interest in making money if it would interfere with his fishing.
But when it came to honor and reputation, these were things that one must pursue if available. With a good reputation, it became much more convenient to participate in various sea fishing competitions.
Participating in fishing competitions meant that one could both fish and win prize money—how exhilarating!
The marlin on the hook was especially active, frequently leaping out of the water to make its presence known, sometimes even performing a half-body glide on the surface.
This involved half its body emerging out of the water, and then, maintaining that position, it would shake its head and move forward several meters without falling back in, much like a dolphin performing in an aquarium. It was quite a sight.
The energetic marlin was desperately trying to escape the fishing boat it was near, but the fishing line held it tightly, making escape impossible.
