Fishing Livestream

In an instant, half of the allotted time flew by, and Xue Kai took Yue Feng's rod from the first segment to replace Zhao Zheng, continuing the fourth round of the competition.

Zhao Zheng held the rod in his left hand, pinching the lead skin seat on the main line with his fingertips, and carefully grasped the carbon foot of the Peacock Feather Float with his right hand, feeling more pleased as he looked at it.

"Tsk tsk, this float is truly exceptional! Brother Feng, does our company's factory for floats have this kind of product?

Can you help me find a way to get one too? The sensitivity is really sufficient; even when fish swim around underwater near the nest, it shows movement!"

Yue Feng shook his head: "Other materials can be figured out, but Peacock Feather, the material growing from the peacock's rear, is rare and hard to get. Where can I find it?

Put it away for now. Later, Zhao Ran will take the field in the fifth round and swap it out again. With this float, perhaps we can catch even a half or full bite in the end!"

Zhao Ran also wanted to experience the mysterious quality of the float, but seeing Yue Feng and Wang Xiaomin looking so anxious, he waved his hand: "I'll pass. A regular float is fine, if it breaks, I won't feel bad.

Anyway, with a big score advantage, it shouldn't be overturned! Let me watch the last two rounds; it's unlikely there'll be any decent fish catch!"

In the following match, Zhao Ran's prediction turned out to be accurate. Starting with the fourth round, the entire competition pond became devoid of activity. Early on, there would occasionally pop a fish or two, but later, despite trying all kinds of skills, there was still no luck.

From the beginning of his round, Xue Kai worked tirelessly but caught nothing. In the fifth round, Zhao Ran faced the same situation. Overall, in the five-round match, the only real fish-catching moments were a burst of five minutes in the first two rounds. The poor fish yield was utterly frustrating.

With the fifth round over, the referee's whistle blew, Zhao Ran calmly placed the rod on the rod holder, helplessly flexing his wrist, while waiting for the staff to confirm the score.

The angler from the neighboring Zhongsheng team was somewhat disheartened; the fish situation was so dreadful it made them doubt life itself. This fish was infernally hard to catch, giving them an illusion of being unable to use their skills.

"Come, lift the fish guard out of the water, count the number!" reminded a staff member from behind.

"Only three fish in total, what's there to count? You can see them all at a glance!"

The concluding angler from Zhongsheng grumbled unwillingly, casually lifting the fish guard with only three fish inside, indeed looking pitiful.

Soon came Zhao Ran's turn—eight fish. After the score was signed, Yue Feng's team secured this victory of three points in the first round.

Yet, at this moment, other anglers from the three teams were equally dissatisfied with the fish situation of the competition, and without knowing who started it, they directly approached the worktable for the second-round draw.

"The fish situation in the final is way too bad. Catching a few fish seems entirely dependent on luck! How can we compete like this; we've lost our spirit!"

"Indeed, although fairness was achieved, it doesn't reflect the planning of techniques and strategies, giving little meaning to team competition!"

"Can the organizing committee consider a solution? Fighting hard for three rounds, a loss is a loss, no one has complaints. But now losing doesn't make sense. Five rounds and only three fish were caught, this competition is unplayable!"

Faced with the sentiment from the competitive anglers, the organizing committee soon sent out a man dressed smartly yet visibly showing wrinkles around the eyes and skin.

Seeing this man's visage, Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat!

Goodness, isn't this his idol, Teacher Cong Jie?

Regarding Teacher Cong, he has been a distinct, rather individual figure in the angling community, with excellent skills and upright character. He hasn't been active at the forefront in recent years, but surprisingly is involved behind the scenes for the club league finals organizing committee.

Cong Jie took a microphone from a staff member, cleared his throat, then began to speak: "Hello everyone, I am Cong Jie!

Earlier, more than one team's angler reported to us the fish situation in the first round was too poor, failing to reflect any skills.

As a special guest designing for the final four fish situation, I now give everyone a brief explanation of our considerations when designing the first-round fish condition!

First of all, I'd like to ask everyone a question, what is the pursuit of top competitive anglers? Or what is the ultimate pursuit of competitive sports?

Perhaps out there, everyone has their own answer. My answer can borrow the Olympic Games motto.

Faster, Higher, Stronger!

I believe, although Taiwan Fishing isn't widely popular worldwide, its core shares similarity with other Olympic competitive events.

Based on this consideration, during the pre-game discussion about competition fish setup, I strongly advocated for testing everyone, to see the current top domestic club experts' understanding of Taiwan Fishing!

The first match concluded, frankly speaking, with both surprises and unexpected outcomes! Overall, it didn't meet my personal expectations!

Now, I will disclose the fish distribution situation in the first pond!

In the first round, a total of 200 veteran slick fish were gathered from various organizational competition ponds! Each fish weighed one or two ounces!

By the end of the first round, a total of 18 fish emerged, putting the fish yield ratio at about less than ten percent! This basically aligns with the preliminary expected fish count.

However, I didn't anticipate that despite the stark fish catch disparity between different teams, even in standard bait competitions, some would still complain about the fish condition being luck-dependent!

Honestly, others caught eight fish while you caught three, is it truly all reliant on luck? You're all experienced anglers, I believe if everyone calms down a bit and thinks, deep down you'll surely have an answer!"

After Teacher Cong's justifiable and reasoned speech, the audience instantly fell silent!

With a total of two hundred fish released, only eighteen emerged, creating a tough fish situation. However, Yuefeng Fishing Tackle pulled eight fish, while others caught three or four, showcasing significant disparity. In a standard bait competition, attributing it to luck seems unjustifiable; not only would others disbelieve, even oneself wouldn't believe.

Seeing no one in the audience speaking up, Cong Jie continued: "What's wrong, no one is complaining about the fish condition relying on luck? Since no one's complaining, I'll proceed!

So how should today's fish be caught? Let me, being somewhat old, take this chance to say a few words!

The subsequent matches are tense; we won't occupy much time. Those interested may consider the thoughts I'm sharing, while those uninterested may just treat it as a joke!

Extreme veteran tricky fish in low-density fish condition demands extreme setups for trolling and application! It demands extreme bait condition and adaptability! Only these two criteria met, would yield fish; otherwise, an ordinary angler, unable even to adjust the float, could spend a whole day without seeing a bite!

Besides these two points, the remaining involves the comprehensive application of fishing skill and understanding fish conditions—through assessing float height, identifying slightly deep or shallow spots, small structures, and where fish might linger. Finding fish locations naturally boosts catching opportunities!

Regarding the fish situation and fishing method in the first match, I'll stop here!

Next, I'll announce the second matter!
