Chapter 161 - 161 161 Clash

161: Chapter 161: Clash 161: Chapter 161: Clash “Hey, buddy, you’re not seriously planning to use beans against me in a fish-off, are you?” Zhou Tao asked with a face full of disdain, as if he had been insulted.

Yue Feng nodded, “Yeah, I think this stuff is pretty useful!”

“Hahaha, oh man, I can’t take it!

Fighting fish with rubber band covered in bean pellets, today is truly an eye-opener!” Hou Tao clutched his stomach and doubled over in laughter, and Li Cungen and Boss Zhao almost cried from laughing so hard.

It’s too early to laugh now.

Yue Feng didn’t take it seriously.

He casually scooped some water with a bottle cap and placed it on the feeding tray, then poured Doughballs pellets into the tray.

As for the soft sticky bait that Brother Zhang helped prepare, Yue Feng carefully set it aside for later use.

While Zhou Tao and his group burst out laughing, Zhang Fenglin did not.

Although Yue Feng’s method looked a bit simplistic, from a practical standpoint, it had no issues!

The only thing that worried Zhang Fenglin was the slightly large size of the rubber band pellets, which sometimes could block the bite.

Soon it was 5 PM, and about twenty unofficial anglers had sparsely arrived at the fishing site.

Also, many people stood at varying distances behind Yue Feng and Zhou Tao, watching eagerly and waiting to witness the final outcome of this father-and-son competition.

Five minutes before starting, Yue Feng started the live broadcast as advertised.

When the drone took off, Zhou Tao and his friends laughed even harder.

Broadcasting a fish fight with beans on a rubber band with a drone?

How brave could one be, and weren’t they afraid of being embarrassed?

“Hello, everyone, I am Yue Feng!

As promised, I’m broadcasting this father-and-son fish-off this evening.

I will give it my all, so I won’t have time to interact much.

I’ll ask Brother Liu to do the commentary.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in the public channel!”

After a brief introduction, Yue Feng handed his phone to Liu Fengnian.

He definitely wouldn’t have time to interact with the public channel during the fish-off, so he had to leave it to Old Liu for the time being.

At exactly 5 PM, the site’s owner, He Wenlong, called out, and the stealthy anglers began!

Upon hearing the start, Yue Feng quickly cast his first rod.

Having enhanced his Doughballs Fishing Method, Yue Feng felt his casting was much smoother — the bait landed almost exactly where he wanted it to.

Driven by this thought, Yue Feng’s first five casts landed almost exactly at the same fishing spot.

Observers behind couldn’t spot the trick, but Zhang Fenglin, who was watching from a chair nearby, felt a jolt when he saw Yue Feng’s technique!

Many people knew the Doughballs Fishing Method, but few were adept at it.

One of the biggest challenges was precise control over where the bait lands.

If not played well, the nest could end up misplaced, becoming a hindrance to fishing instead.

But the fellow sitting on the Fishing Box, his rod control was far beyond ordinary, the landing spots of the initial casts were almost exactly the same—his fundamentals were brutally strong!

Yue Feng was forming nests using Doughballs covered in rubber band pellets, while Zhou Tao had gone in a different direction.

As soon as he started, he used relatively small triangle-shaped Wet Loose Powder to make nests, repeatedly casting at a consistent rate, quickly pulling the rod as soon as the bait hit the bottom, executing crisp and decisive movements.

The triangle-shaped Wet Loose Powder is a common technique in Loose Powder fishing.

After hooking the larger water-mixed loose bait and shaping it into a triangle, the three sides of the bait ball will detach first upon entering the water, leaving only the core on the hook.

It not only ensures a scattering effect to attract fish in a wet loose state but also retains the core for fishing—a classic method.

Minutes before the official start, the two different fishing strategies each had their benefits and drawbacks.

After fishing for a while, Yue Feng’s float acted first.

The float gently trembled and rose—a sign that fish were in the nest below.

Yue Feng was patient and not hasty, feeling confident that if everything continued as it was, his chances of winning would be more than eighty percent.

He kept patient and made a few more casts.

As the float was nearing its spot, it suddenly gave a clear and strong jerk—a big tension bite!

In stealth mode, Yue Feng used a 2.1g jujube-shaped Peacock Feather hybrid buoy, setting eight targets and fishing four.

The recent bite had a one-target jerk, followed by a two-and-half-target big tension bite, with the four targets on the water’s surface nearly turning into a straight line under the dark float.

“Holy shit!

That’s a beautiful strike!” someone from the audience couldn’t help but exclaim.

Yue Feng flicked his wrist to hook the fish, then tensed his forearm to arc the rod.

He Wenlong had predicted a quick burst of activity in the late afternoon during lunch, so Yue Feng was using the 7H Chengying.

The rod’s tip curved gracefully, and under its powerful backbone, it took just two rounds to force the fish out of the water.

Yue Feng then jogged lightly along the water’s edge, straight into the landing net.

The viewers in the live stream got excited as soon as they saw Yue Feng catch a fish first.

Wow!

Brother Feng is always ahead!

He caught the first fish!

His retrieval style is so cool!

Why does that guy next to him look kind of familiar?

Anyone knows him?

I also think his face looks familiar from the side.

Watching him cast, his fundamentals are really solid.

He must be an experienced angler.

Is Big Brother Liu watching the public channel?

Why hasn’t he spoken yet?

Liu Fengnian started interacting softly as soon as he saw it.

“Hello everyone, I’m Liu Fengnian!

I’ve been here all along!

The guy competing with Yue Feng is Zhou Tao, a competitive angler from our city of W.

He’s got pretty good skills!”

Now I remember, Zhou Tao!

He was the champion of last year’s river fishing competition in East Mountain Province!

The guy is pretty skilled, how come he’s clashing with Brother Feng?

Forget which champion he is, I bet a pack of spicy sticks that this guy is going to lose today!

Is Brother Feng using elastic particles with sticky beans?

Isn’t using that to compete a bit disrespectful to his opponent?

Can Big Brother Liu explain the fishing methods to us?

The camera angles can’t cover everything, we can’t see many details!

Commentary +1

“The fishing conditions are still unclear now that we’ve just started, everyone, please be patient!

On Yue Feng’s side, he’s using the Doughballs Fishing Method with elastic particles, and on Zhou Tao’s side, he’s using the conventional method of moist Loose Powder and has some soft sticky bait in his food box; he might adjust depending on the fish’s behavior later!”

Elder Liu’s commentary is pretty much spot on, but Zhou Tao gave a little shiver when he heard it, glanced over at Yue Feng’s side, and saw Yue Feng was wrapping two elastic particles in small doughballs.

No wonder this guy caught a fish first, it was not just using the elastic particles he’d taken out before starting, but playing a trick.

As Zhou Tao thought, his float subtly trembled then dipped sharply, and he struck.

With a background in competitive fishing, Zhou Tao’s fundamentals were excellent; he flicked his wrist lightly to hook the fish and easily lifted his rod.

The rod he used was relatively soft, no more than a 5H, a Gamma Speed Fight, purely imported from Japan, and a 4.5 size probably costs just under five thousand yuan.

It was indeed among the high-end fishing gear.

The performance of the fishing rod was indeed eye-catching—flexible at the tip, firm and merciless when hooking the fish, with a strong backbone in three sections.

In Zhou Tao’s hands, the fish on the hook behaved well, and he quickly netted it.

It was 1:1 now, which let Zhou Tao relax a bit, at least confirming that the moist Loose Powder was effective for today’s fish.

But the good times didn’t last long, Yue Feng didn’t even catch his breath when he struck again and caught another!
