The boat Lin Yang used during the competition was out at sea.
What Lin Yang didn't know was that after catching the marlin on the third day of the competition, the captain had taken his beloved yacht to the repair shop immediately upon returning, for an overnight full-body checkup. The yacht's odd behavior during the day had worried him.
However, the final inspection results showed that everything was normal with the boat, as if the daytime anomalies had been an illusion, which baffled the captain.
But since the inspectors assured him there was no problem, the captain had to regard the earlier anomalies as mere illusions.
The fishing boat set off, heading straight to the fishing spot they used during the competition.
This spot had yielded a world-record-breaking marlin, and its fame had spread, so by the time they arrived, several other fishing boats were already there fishing.
