Fishing Livestream

Three minutes passed in an instant, and the fish were being caught one after another. During this time, even the viewers in the live streaming room couldn't help but hold their breath.

Indeed, Yue Feng was right. As soon as three minutes were up, the anglers on both sides almost simultaneously stopped catching any fish.

At this point, fifty minutes had passed since the competition began, and the fish bites at most fishing spots gradually slowed down, leaving only the edges and a few spots still catching fish.

On spot six, Wang Xiaomin, not only did the fish condition in his area not slow down, but the float bites had significantly increased in frequency, with the fishing getting faster and faster!

As for the ten or so fishing spots near the entrance, aside from the edge at spot one still getting bites, Wang Xiaomin was the only one left catching fish at the other spots.

"Wow, Mr. Yue Feng, your prediction was spot on! Once you said the fish would stop biting, they really stopped! Isn't this what they call a 'fish shutout' in legend?" Tian Tian exclaimed excitedly upon seeing that the anglers in spots five and seven had indeed stopped catching fish.

Yue Feng glanced at Tian Tian and said calmly, "Calling this a fish shutout isn't wrong either!

But to be objective, the impact isn't solely due to Wang Xiaomin; the mistakes of the anglers on either side play a significant role too!"

Tian Tian, eager for more, encouraged, "Exactly what everyone loves to hear you talk about, so could you explain in detail?

Mistakes during the competition, and how to adjust and respond to these situations? People often fish in the Black Pit; if we pick up a trick, everyone can use it!"

Yue Feng nodded, "In fact, I've discussed these insights multiple times during my regular Black Pit fishing streams, but for my new followers, let's talk about it again today!

The phenomenon of fish shutout in Black Pit fishing truly exists. Many people think being shut out is due to more potent bait or attractants. However, often the root cause lies elsewhere!

Why do I say this? To put it simply, a fish shutout means someone else has taken your fish.

Besides the potential influence of bait or attractants, several other aspects collectively cause an impact!

The first is the state of the bait,

For instance, today's fish recognize Loose Powder very well. Under these circumstances, whoever has drier Loose Powder, which disperses better in water, gains an advantage. Conversely, if the fish in some pits are timid and fear high dispersion, a wet Loose Powder might be better than a dry one!

The second factor is the flavor of the bait and the amount used. Similarly to the first point, a suitable flavor and bait amount can gather more fish.

The third point is mistakes!

Creating chaos in the spot, snagging fish, losing fish, or scattering bait can frighten the fish away,

During the livestream, both anglers in spots five and seven made significant mistakes of losing fish in their spots, which made us revise our estimated times substantially.

After analyzing the different influencing factors, let's discuss how to prevent these situations from occurring!

Firstly, the most important thing is the success rate of catching bites. Don't blindly lift the rod to hook a fish if the bite isn't stable. Losing a fish is one thing, but scattering the fish group is a loss!

Earlier in the competition, everyone saw Wang Xiaomin's precise rod handling. He ignored ambiguous float movements and only hooked decisive, strong short movements, achieving a high success rate.

Another critical point is the amount of bait used!

The more aggressive the fish condition, the stronger the flavor, and the greater the bait amount should be! This ensures enough fish in your fishing spot!

Like when we paused for three minutes earlier, if a smarter angler were in that spot, they could have continued fishing by stopping the hook and increasing the bait amount to gather the fish in the spot. There wouldn't be a situation where there's no bite for over half an hour!

"Uh, what if it's already like this? Is there any way to get the fish back?" Tian Tian asked hopefully, seeking an answer from Yue Feng.

Yue Feng shook his head, "Once the fish shutout occurs, it's very challenging to do well again! The hope is slim! Once fish form a group, they won't easily leave, even if there's food next door. Most won't leave even if they can't compete for food in the group. The sense of security in a school of fish is very important for ordinary individual fish!"

"Slim hope still means there's hope, right? Tell me, how do you deal with it when push comes to shove?"

Yue Feng replied, "If it were me, I would increase the bait's strong flavor, as strong as possible! Then increase the bait amount, waiting for Wang Xiaomin next door to make a mistake,

If the fish do take to the strong flavor bait and Wang Xiaomin mishandles the fish condition, there might be a sliver of chance!"

"Alright, that basically sounds like a dead sentence! Did everyone hear Yue Feng's judgment? Pay attention to these details in future Black Pit fishing!"

...

The situation in the second half unfolded almost exactly as Yue Feng predicted. Wang Xiaomin consistently caught fish at a high frequency while using the fishing line to lead the fish, combining baiting and fishing.

It wasn't until a little over ten minutes remained in the competition that the fish bites in Wang Xiaomin's area began to slow down.

Seeing the dwindling bites, Wang Xiaomin switched rods and setups, casting further with Da Fei lead weights and ragworm from the edge of the baited area, catching several more fish. The competition's first session ended in this atmosphere.

The whistle sounded, and all anglers set aside their rods, some happy, some worried.

"Phew, the competition is over! Now entering the routine challenge segment, how many fish did Wang Xiaomin catch this session? Mr. Yue Feng should have been keeping count, right?"

Tian Tian cutely breathed a sigh of relief, again shifting the focus onto Wang Xiaomin's catch count.

Last time, Yue Feng showcased his Dual-tasking ability, and during the interview, Wang Xiaomin executed a memorable moment with the same routine again.

"Haha, I wasn't counting this time! Earlier, the director switched cameras a few times, losing track! But I estimate the count is about 150 fish! A bit over 300 pounds!"

"Did everyone in the live streaming room hear that? Brother Feng estimated roughly 300 pounds, let's reveal the answer!"

Soon, the staff began weighing the fish.

The pre-installed overhead sling made for easy fish weighing, moving over the anglers' heads, hooking onto the Fish Guard, tightening and lifting. Once water was drained, they proceeded to weigh.

Thanks to the high activity of the mouthfish, even ordinary anglers were thrilled, lifting any Fish Guard easily yielded at least 70-80 pounds of fish, with some fetching over 200 pounds, a substantial catch in the Black Pit.

"Hey, look, the big edge spot that had plenty of fish is being weighed now. Let's see how many fish they caught! Cameraman, give us a close-up of the weighing!"
