The unknown catch underwater was extremely violent, the sound of the line being stripped off by its surging power clicked incessantly. Though Yue Feng had the rod in his hands, it was completely bent over by the immense force of the line being pulled.
"Big one? Don't just stand there, brace it against your belly!" Brother Gu hurriedly reminded.
Upon hearing the reminder, Yue Feng quickly reacted by placing the bottom part of the rod against his belly, his hands firmly grasping near the handle to maintain a relatively high angle for the rod, which for the moment stabilized the situation.
