Yes, you saw it right.
Four large, black pit nets!
Zhang Yang's own company originally started with black pit fishing gear, besides bait and additives, this black pit net was a creative idea he pioneered, leading the market with it.
The design of black pit nets is like a large pocket, made of thick nylon weave coated with glue, with two rings at the bottom fitted with anti-wear plastic beads.
If you stuff it to the limit, a single net could hold hundreds of pounds, maybe even a couple thousand pounds.
Of course, normal anglers don't catch that many fish. Today, Zhang Yang caught a lot, but since too many fish at the bottom would die from being crushed, the competition rules state no net can hold more than 300 pounds of fish.
What is 300 pounds of fish? Considering Jinghai Garden's average fish weight of two pounds or so, that's about 120 fish.
