If you talk about experience in handling big fish, Meng Fan actually doesn't have much practical experience, but he's quite reliable in the sense that he has a lot of experience using thin lines to handle three to five-pound carp when fishing in private ponds.
Now that he's handling a big fish, aside from the force going beyond his control, the basic idea of handling the fish and the technique of controlling it are in sync, plus the line gauge of the fishing gear being relatively thick, so he is responding fairly appropriately.
From the moment the rod bent, Meng Fan remained in a state of staying still as long as the fish didn't move, waiting for the big fish to start swimming slowly. Only then did he carefully maneuver with it by adjusting the angle of force on the rod!
Seeing Meng Fan being so cautious while handling the fish, Zhang Yang felt that there was no need to remind him and switched to his commentary role, keeping an eye on the live stream chat room.
