The Top Fishing Master

Chapter 344: Yellow River Carp



This might lead to situations where the fish are too aggressive and won't bite.

It's possible the fish have entered the nest, but they are eating the nest material instead of the bait.

If this happens, it can often be seen from the fishing results: anglers will frequently find subtle movements in their float, but no serious fish bites.

If you can't resist raising the rod and casting, you probably won't catch any fish.

If you're lucky, you might snag a fish, and the reason for this situation is actually quite simple—the fish have entered the nest but are only eating the nest material and not the bait.

The subtle movements of the float could be because the fish brushed against the line while swimming, or it could be the movement of water caused by the fish in the nest, which activates the fishing gear.

In short, under these circumstances, you are just one step away from catching fish, but that step is impossible to take, which is quite unfortunate.

Generally, when it's cold, the fish's activity level decreases.

With declining vitality, the desire to feed also decreases, making this situation more likely.

So, when many contestants switched to shorter rods, it wasn't long before some started to catch fish successively.

If you observe carefully, you will find a pattern: contestants catching fish mostly use the method of nest bait fishing.

Those who relied on nest baiting to attract fish had a noticeably lower catch rate; however, those people probably didn't realize where they went wrong.

....

The competition, which lasted less than an hour, ended quickly.

In this less than an hour, most contestants finally made some catches, especially those who switched to hand-held rods and used nest bait fishing, who generally gained good results.

Even those who used nest baiting caught some fish more or less.

This actually shows that the fish resources in this section of the Yellow River Old Channel are very rich, with many fishes not being hard to catch.

It's just that initially, due to dramatic weather changes, the fish moved to the middle of the river and weren't biting much, leading to a quiet river.

Until now, both the show crew and local officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if during the whole competition no one managed to catch fish, it would equate to a live broadcast accident for the show.

While for the locals, it would have severely affected their image, as being chosen to host the competition was a great opportunity for promotion.

But if this promotion turned negative, it would be a huge loss.

If later everyone knows the Yellow River Old Channel in Dangshan County has no fish, and the environment is extremely poor, it would tarnish the place.

If this matter attracted public attention, some officials might even face trouble because of it.

Given the huge influence of this competition, attracting public attention is very likely.

But now, fortunately, the show was not only full of twists and turns, but the final result also proved that the Yellow River Old Channel in Dangshan County has a beautiful environment and rich fish resources, equating to very friendly promotion and highlighting the achievements of local officials.

The winner of this competition was undoubtedly Lin Yang, who twice led the trend of changing rods during the competition.

He was always ahead of all the contestants, thus his harvest was naturally the richest.

For this, the audience was not surprised.

What intrigued the audience most was, after the competition, Lin Yang chose to take one fish from the livewell.

Generally, he always releases his catches, but this time he took one fish, which happened to be a large carp over ten pounds.

The big carp was brightly colored, entirely golden yellow, with a red tail, very beautiful, making the audience envious.

"Master Lin actually took that big carp, seems like he wants to enjoy a feast."

"So envious, I also want to taste the flavor of wild river carp."

"Just learned from today's show about the three types of carp, really want to taste this wild river carp personally, envy that Master Lin achieved freedom of fish consumption."

"It's such a pity, can't buy this kind of wild river carp in the market."

"This fish is so pitiful, about to be eaten, tears of sympathy are streaming down my face."

Countless fishing enthusiasts were extremely envious of Lin Yang, as he could taste wild river carp.

On today's show, after Lin Yang caught that fish, thanks to Xiao Xue's explanations, all the audience learned an obscure fact.

That is the distinction between three types of carp.

Everyone learned that wild river carp is the tastiest and hardest to find.

Lin Yang seemed to know this, thus directly chose to take a big carp and enjoy the delicacy.

The competition then ended.

Besides Lin Yang winning first place, there was not much to say about the other teams, approximately maintaining previous rankings reflecting strong staying strong.

As for this competition, the audience's focus had long shifted away from the ranking.

Most viewers were amazed by Lin Yang's two rod changes and the trend of rod changing he led.

First changing from a hand-held rod to a sea rod, then switching back to a hand-held rod, which directly led everyone from not catching fish to catching fish, and then catching many fish.

This demonstrated Lin Yang's accurate judgment on fish conditions given complex reasons like weather, temperature, water temperature, depth, etc.

This indeed gained the admiration of many viewers and even professional contestants.
