The award for the heaviest swordfish goes to Bretton from the Canada Maple Leaf Team! 998 pounds!
Finally, we have the award for the heaviest Marlin! The winner is Lin Yang from China’s Global Team! 1488 pounds!
This weight has broken the world record. Today, we are all witnesses to this new record! Next, let’s invite the winning anglers on stage to receive their awards with a round of applause!
"Clap, clap, clap...."
A thunderous round of applause erupted from the audience.
"This old man is talking nonsense. The actual witnessing of the record was clearly the day before yesterday!" Li Xiaopeng muttered under his breath from below the stage, obviously disagreeing with the old man’s announcent.
"Shh... Keep it down, that man is the founder of the Hawaii International Sea Fishing Tournant, show so respect."
The guide beside him heard and gestured for him to stop talking.
"Got it, got it~ Cousin and the others have already gone on stage!"
As the two of them whispered to each other, the award recipients had already stepped up to the podium.
Each was awarded a gold dal and a fifty thousand US dollars check.
Oh, Lin Yang won two single fish heaviest awards, so he had two dals and two checks for five hundred thousand dollars each, standing out like a crane among chickens.
Even though it was half of what he had aid to win, he was contented. After all, there were only five days of official competition, which was quite good.
Although the scale of the competition and the prizes were not the top level, Lin Yang was still a bit excited and couldn’t help but mimic those Olympic champions, biting into the gold dal engraved with a Marlin.
The result was a staunch dal unresponsive to his bite. Apart from a slightly sore tooth, not a single mark was left on the dal, though so saliva did remain.
"Master Lin, no need to bite anymore, it’s too hard for that. They didn’t give you a real gold one, it’s just a bronze alloy!"
Zhang Yuanhong, who was also on the podium receiving an award, obviously knew about the actual content of the fishing competition dals and held back his laughter as he reminded Lin Yang.
"....."
Well, that was a waste of emotion.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Such a big dal, how could it possibly be made of gold? Even the Olympic dals are not made of pure gold.
The significance of these competition dals is more commorative than their actual value.
"Next up is the individuals’ points ranking. The third place goes to Gao Bai from the United States Pirate Team, with a total heaviest single fish catch of 1888 pounds!
The runner-up is Bretton from the Canada Maple Leaf Team, with a total heaviest single fish catch of 2555 pounds!
And our champion! Lin Yang from China’s Global Team, with a total heaviest single fish catch of 3397 pounds!
Mr. Lin Yang not only broke the Marlin fishing record in this tournant but was also the MVP player of the competition. Let’s give him our most enthusiastic applause, and invite the award-winning anglers to the stage to receive their awards!"
"Clap, clap, clap....."
Once again, a thunderous applause sounded.
Lin Yang stepped up to the podium once more to receive another dal and a check for five hundred thousand dollars.
"Clap, clap, clap...."
"Finally, we co to the team points ranking awards for this tournant!
The third place goes to the Northern Team from China, with a total catch weight of 2888 pounds!
The runner-up is the Pirate Team from the United States, with a total catch weight of 3456 pounds!
Champions! From China’s Global Team, with a total catch weight of 3965 pounds!
Let’s give our warst applause to them, and now, please welco the winning teams to the stage to receive their awards!"
"Clap, clap, clap...."
Lin Yang once again took to the podium, this ti joined by the other three team mbers.
Aside from the dal for each mber, there was also a golden trophy for the team award.
No need to guess, the trophy wasn’t made of gold either.
After the awards were presented and the photographs taken, Lin Yang and other outstanding contestants were invited to speak on stage to share so tips and experiences about fishing.
Compared to the passionate speeches by the leaders, the fishing techniques shared by Lin Yang and the others were more appealing to the audience.
After the award ceremony, it was ti for leisure activities. Everything was on the house from the organizers for the entire day on the island!
That applied to both contestants and visitors who were rely there for a vacation, with the stipulation that they had stayed for at least three days during the competition.
Of course, so special services, such as renting a boat or other such activities, still had their usual charges.
There was a buffet in the venue area offering food and drinks all day, making it a day for celebration.
After the award ceremony, Lin Yang and the others, each holding a sweet coconut, left the venue.
During the five days of the competition, he hadn’t had the chance to properly explore the area. Now that the competition was over, he could finally have fun with the group.
Sure, if Lin Yang were alone, fishing would naturally be more interesting than sightseeing.
But with others around, everyone could have a good laugh and enjoy themselves even more.
Leaving the noisy venue, Lin Yang and the group headed to the seashore.
To be exact, they went to a rocky beach to engage in their favorite pasti, clamming.
Just as Lin Yang never tired of fishing, Yue’er was endlessly fond of clamming. She enjoyed the process of discovering and catching without any intention of keeping the catches.
Although there had been plenty of ti in the previous days, Yue’er was the only one interested in clamming, and it wasn’t safe for her to do it alone, so she had not had the chance to truly enjoy it until now.
