Fishing Livestream

At this point, the understanding these top anglers have of bait is evident. The four individuals had remarkably uniform reactions.

Identify the basics and status, then use the net head to sieve through batches of bait, keeping the coarse ones for Loose Powder, and subtly supplementing the fine ones to prepare Lure.

In a very short time, the bait was mixed and ready.

At this moment, another detail of Yue Feng's bait preparation was observed by someone attentive.

The anglers from the other three teams used measuring cups precisely for bait preparation, but in Yue Feng's case, he relied entirely on intuition and hadn't even prepared a measuring cup.

The bait ratio depended on intuition, the water quantity judged by intuition, the amount of Lasi Powder added to the Hand Food by intuition, seemingly mixed casually like leisure fishing, yet within a few minutes, the bait absorbed enough water, formed into a lump with air expelled, the status was perfectly set.

Yue Feng relied solely on intuition to prepare the bait, which was flawless. Conversely, Tianyuan and Zhongsheng, due to infrequent use of Hua Clan's bait, had minor flaws in status control. However, experienced anglers quickly fine-tuned through kneading and achieved relatively satisfactory status.

Uncertain of the fish conditions in the pit, Yue Feng prepared two different baits as backups. The first was based on original pond particle powder, with a faint garlic scent and a touch of Super Attraction's cereal aroma.

The second used Air Force as the main ingredient, simply sieved through a net head, additionally blended with Super Attraction and status, having a flavor profile primarily of savory fragrance with a tiny hint of strawberry. Both baits were widely appealing, whether it be crucian carp or carp, they all liked it.

With the bait preparation finished, after confirmation by the referees, a gunshot marked the start of the first segment of the first match!

Before the game, Yue Feng had accurately assessed the fish condition in the pond, hence the fishing set used in the arena was extremely refined.

0.6 primary line, 0.3 sub-line, number four Sleeve Hook, float with a lead weight of 1g, fishing rod with 3H hardness. Without knowing the fish condition or species, a refined setup was used right away.

After a few lines caught consecutively, it was indeed exactly as Yue Feng predicted.

No explosive connections, no fish snatching, from the beginning, it was a very sluggish fish state. Yue Feng used a small line setup to start fishing, the other three teams switched to the small line setup in less than three minutes.

The fish density was low, the appetite was small, and the high temperature contributed to very challenging fish conditions.

Yue Feng, from the first cast, didn't make a nest, cast twice directly ahead, got no bite.

Reached with the arm as far as possible, fully extended cast twice, still no bite.

Quickly switched to Stabbing toad at a close point.

When casting for the second time at Stabbing toad, finally got a bite.

Two hooks with bait balls barely larger than soybean size, showing an excellent status upon entering the water, yet the float's movements were very poor.

The high sensitivity float from System Mall merely gave a small upward motion like a little black dot. Fortunately, Yue Feng had good vision, otherwise, a person with slightly weaker eyesight might not see the bite.

Raised the rod, as expected, it was an empty shot!

Yue Feng decisively judged that the fish was likely small, the bite very light, almost approaching the theoretical extreme breathing bite.

The next second, Yue Feng unhesitatingly swapped down the backup rod behind him.

Main line 0.2, sub-line 0.08, number one thin Sleeve, float lead weight 0.7g, sharp float tail diameter only 0.4, about half of ordinary floats. The small fragments were very distinct features, staring for a while would guarantee eye strain for those with poor eyesight.

Equipping a more extreme fishing set, Yue Feng made a subtle adjustment to the Lure he was using.

Grabbed the bait ball, swung it hard into the basin to form a pancake-like shape, then slightly wet his hands, using fingertips to knead along the basin wall bit by bit, recompacted after two rounds of kneading.

The adjusted bait ball became more delicate and moist, Yue Feng gently pulled the sub-line apart, turning the soybean-sized round ball into one that was only green bean-sized, still perfectly round.

After a series of adjustments, Yue Feng again cast the double hooks to the close point for continued Stabbing toad.

Yue Feng's expectations were modest, under such extreme circumstances, catching just one or two fish at an opening was sufficient.

The live fish condition demanded meticulous skills from competitive anglers. Yue Feng wasn't sure if other teams could achieve this, but within his team, the young anglers surely lacked rule and technique. Only Zhao Zheng and Zhao Ran showed strength just a tad better!

Several more casts at the previous bite location yielded no bite.

As Yue Feng prepared to change spots, he habitually made a slight upward stroke with the rod tip, and suddenly, a small motion occurred.

Under such extremely sensitive trolling, the bite action was only about a third of the small fragment size, but this was enough for Yue Feng!

Yue Feng pressed his right forearm and remained motionless, using only wrist strength to gently lift.

The sensitivity of the soft rod quickly transmitted the underwater resistance to Yue Feng's palm, it was a hit!

About a one-and-a-half-pound crucian carp, emaciated, big head and thin body, remained motionless when brought to the surface, allowing Yue Feng to take it close to the landing net without resistance.

With just a glance, Yue Feng accurately assessed the fish.

A seasoned slippery fish, even slipperier than those grandfathers in the competition pond that haven't been cleaned for over a decade.

Despitely only slightly over one pound, it had at least a ten-to-eight-year lifespan, constantly strategizing with anglers daily, its slippery sensitivity had reached a maddening level.

Won't eat when the line setup is thick, if the bait is large, won't eat, if the flavor profile is off, won't eat, if the trolling is unsuitable, won't eat; each of these fish is a battle-hardened elite among elites.

Yue Feng pinched the fish's gill margin and tossed it into the Fish Guard, meticulously wiped his hands with a towel, then picked up the bait ball to Lure onto the hook, continued Stabbing toad at close point.

Anglers from the neighboring Zhongsheng team saw Yue Feng catching fish with Stabbing toad, immediately started fishing the close point too, yet their double hooks seemed dumped into a water tank, with no action at all.

In subsequent ten or so casts, Yue Feng equally gained nothing. Five minutes into the match, Yue Feng was the only one to catch a fish, the other three anglers hadn't even started fishing yet.

After trying a circle with Stabbing toad, Yue Feng again cast the bait to the location where he caught the first fish.

At this moment he suddenly noticed a small detail.

At the close point, the bottom of the pond seemed slightly uneven, the dip in the float ratio was slightly more than a point compared to the surroundings.

The previous fish seemed to have been teased out of this small depression!

Yue Feng was slightly expecting, roughly seven or eight seconds after the float steadied, expertly flicked the rod tip.

At this point, the long-awaited bite action reoccured, not waiting for the float's aftertaste, with a poof, a small pause similar to the previous one.

With a slight exertion of wrist strength, raised the rod to pierce the fish, scored another one!!
