The fish is on the hook!
But strangely, compared to the sudden and huge change in the fishing rod and fishing line, the man's response was rather stingy.
His whole person stood like a statue on the edge of a cliff, motionless.
He firmly gripped the rod but didn't immediately exert force to lift it, instead deliberately letting out two inches of line, giving the prey below the illusion of success, causing it to bite the hook deeper subconsciously.
He carefully sensed the subtle changes in force coming from his palms, until the moment when the prey was struggling desperately, with no chance to escape.
Only then did he stand up and raise the rod with force.
The gap between a newbie and a seasoned hand was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
