Chapter 1023: Chapter 104: Delayed by Half an Hour
Yue Feng greeted them and then put his phone into the Fishing Box, observing with the seriousness of a schoolchild.
At this mont, soone might ask, has Yue Feng lost his nerve? That can’t be right, can it?
Not really. Yue Feng simply didn’t want to get serious with the other person!
This guy asked Yue Feng about midday dishes, but he could sll the alcohol from far away. At this critical stage of the competition, not being recognized was the best protection for Yue Feng, strategically softening his stance, knowing it wouldn’t cost him anything.
This Northeast guy saw Yue Feng’s good attitude and stopped pressing the issue. A few minutes later, the whistle sounded, and everyone simultaneously cast their fishing rods.
Sitting in position one at the big edge, Yue Feng didn’t intend to bait the spot initially. He attached two bean-sized bait balls to a double hook, easily casting them into the water, keeping an eye on the float.
According to expectations, the first five casts should’ve triggered so response, but five casts in, Yue Feng frowned.
No bites; not only was there no action from him, but no one else seed to catch any fish either—even at the opposite big edge.
Sothing seed off to Yue Feng! He decisively swapped for a spare fishing rod and line behind him and used a heavy search lead across the whole swimming layer.
He patiently made a few more casts, yet still no action. Noticing no fish at the front spot, he angled a cast closer to the edge.
The reason why the big edge often yields results is directly related to the underwater structure. Most big edges have a slope, and this pond is no exception.
Fish, fearful, tend to gather in quieter central spots. With this slope, the gathering spot gains a topographic structure that many fish like to stay at, and eventually form schools as passing fish gather. When anglers fish here, the yield is naturally higher.
The cast Yue Feng made along the slope stopped at a high position right after the float’s initial rise, indicating the bait settled on the slope.
Yue Feng slightly teased the rod tip to move the bait downward, and indeed, the float moved down a few more notches.
As it neared the set fishing point, the long-awaited bite ca.
Pop, a slight dip in the float, Gong Zheng lifted the rod to set the fish, got it!
A small crucian carp caught, allowing Yue Feng to quickly discover the trick to catching fish.
Fish at the big edge weren’t in front of the fishing position, but near the boundary between the slope and the horizontal level of the bottom. From his casting tests, Yue Feng had morized this underwater junction spot.
The next cast, Yue Feng precisely landed the bait there again.
Normal float rise, slow descent, nearing the set fishing point, a small top bump followed by a drop, and another fish caught!
Just at this junction spot, Yue Feng caught fish on five consecutive casts, before the bite rate slowed a bit.
Throughout the remainder of the competition, Yue Feng focused on this underwater junction line. If the bait reached bottom without bites, he’d cast again, nurturing the spot, eventually bringing up a few more fish.
During the hour-long competition, all Yue Feng’s fish were caught from the underwater junction spot and none from directly in front of his position.
Yue Feng benefited from the big edge, making sense of the situation, but other competitors found it tougher.
The previous round ntioned an average of twenty to thirty fish per person, but this ti, barely anyone caught even ten. So unlucky ones only caught three to five, and a few didn’t get anything.
This round, Yue Feng caught a total of 43 fish, leading the pond.
As the hour-long competition ended, Yue Feng packed up his gear and awaited the staff for the tally.
“Hey, buddy, what’s your na? I’m Liu Fuma, just call Big Liu! You did well this round; only your spot had bites! What bait did you use?”
At this mont, a guy from the second fishing spot, setting aside his pre-match aloofness, actively greeted Yue Feng.
Yue Feng grinned: “Hello, my na is Yue Feng! The bait was just the usual stuff, fishy fragrances!”
“What… what’s your na?” Hearing the na, Liu Fuma was taken aback, rubbed his slightly alcohol-red eyes.
“Yue Feng, indeed! I don’t compete in Taiwan Fishing much, so it’s normal you don’t know !”
“Yue Feng, are you the one who challenged Deng Gang, Fishing King of a few years back on the central TV?”
Yue Feng nodded: “That’s !”
“Wow! Damn it, I didn’t recognize you! Sorry, Teacher Yue Feng! I tend to get dumb acting after so drinks, please don’t mind!” Liu Fuma, sobering up instantly, quickly apologized.
Yue Feng: “It’s nothing, just joking around!”
“You look much younger in person than on video. By the way, I own a retail fishing tackle store! Your company’s Yellow Storm product works well here, many Black Pit players seek it at my store! I haven’t attended exhibitions or managed contact, but running into you, can you grant an agency qualification? Let’s collaborate!”
“Sure, why not! Our company is recruiting agents now! I’ll give you a contact number to reach the office directly!”
“Great, perfect!”
…
The prestigious King of Kings Master’s Tournant suddenly changed flavor. Though Liu Fuma was chatty, he was adept at seizing opportunities, unafraid of a thick-skinned approach. Yue Feng’s minor discomfort faded away amidst casual conversation.
Monts later, staff mbers arrived with basins to count the tails and tally scores!
The tough conditions made this round heartbreaking for the spectators and tear-inducing for those present, with few catching over ten fish. This structured fishing round was rather fragnted.
Before scoring finished, Yue Feng saw additional staff carrying large red plastic buckets to sprinkle mouth-opening dicine on the water.
Following that was an oxygenating pellet, and seconds later, the oxygen machine roared to life.
Seeing this, Yue Feng knew the poor conditions had worried the event organizers.
Score tallying finished, Yue Feng signed the score sheet, bade farewell to Liu Fuma, and left the arena.
A mont later, unsurprisingly, the loudspeaker announced the referee group’s leader’s voice.
“Attention all participating anglers, due to weather conditions, the fish’s bite situation in the competition pond is sowhat poor, and the organizing committee has arranged staff to sprinkle oxygenating pellets and mouth-opening dicine. The start ti of the final match will be delayed by half an hour! Wishing you all the best!”
