At the critical moment, Zhang Yang straightened his waist, turned to the side, and in a very decisive and swift motion, directly inserted the fishing rod upside down into the water on the left.
Upside-down rod control in fishing is a high-risk maneuver. When the rod enters the water, it not only changes the force direction of the rod and line assembly but also creates significant resistance underwater. These factors can easily make the big fish in the water turn around, and once the fish's head turns, the outward impact is effectively neutralized.
Why is this maneuver considered highly risky? Mainly because it's difficult to grasp the timing of the upside-down rod insertion, plus the rod slanting to one side and the hook being improperly positioned can increase the risk of the fish escaping.
Then why does Zhang Yang choose to do it this way? Simply because Zhang Yang has enough confidence in his technique and is extremely confident in choosing the right timing to strike.
