“Speaking of which, after the competition ends, Brother Mengnan, do you want to show your face?

I guess you must have a full beard!”

“+1 for showing your face, Mengnan is absolutely cut out to be a live streamer, with reactions and performances stronger than those streamers with hundreds of thousands of followers!!”

A bit self-conscious, the baby-faced man scratched his head, “Er, let’s not show my face!

I’m not ready for that mentally yet!

If I make it to the next round, there’s still a whole day of competition tomorrow!

We have plenty of time!”

…

The time spent bragging flew by quickly, and more than ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

“Attention, athletes and referees on the field!

There are 5 seconds left until the end of the competition.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

The competition is over!

All athletes, please put down your fishing rods and remain at your fishing spots without moving.

The sectional referees and staff will weigh the catches and record the scores in order of number!

Any early departure will be considered forfeiture of the competition results!”

Upon hearing the loudspeaker, Yue Feng put down his fishing rod, rubbed his wrists, and stretched his neck, finally relaxing from the competitive state.

The six hours of competition time was quite long for a formal event.

Fishing differs significantly from other sports, not only draining physical strength but also requiring intense concentration.

Observing the float for extended periods was taxing on both the brain and the eyes.

“Not bad, brother, you caught quite a few this round!” As Yue Feng was relaxing and waiting for the weigh-in, a fellow angler to his right greeted him.

The man speaking was about 175 cm tall, clean-shaven with a pale face, and had a pair of bright eyes.

Objectively speaking, he was a handsome guy with a rating of eighty out of a hundred.

This guy seemed to have a hefty wallet, decked out in a full set of high-end FLY brand competitive gear.

Yue Feng turned to look at him and responded with a modest smile, “It was passable.

I was pretty lucky, started off making a bait spot right away!”

The man across didn’t puncture Yue Feng’s modesty and continued to ask, “Where are you from, brother?

You’re fishing well.

I’m Zhao Zheng, how should I address you?”

“I’m from W City!

Yue Feng!”

“What bait did you use today?

Can you share a little?

I’m definitely not making the cut this time, but I came all this way and it’s fine to lose.

I just want to learn something!” Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Zheng had managed to catch fish for about an hour at the start of the competition, but spent most of the time watching his float.

When Yue Feng sensed that the bites were slowing down and started scooping up fish, Zhao Zheng was half a beat too slow.

By the time the fish had left his spot, he couldn’t get a bite anymore.

Yue Feng shook his head, “The bait was just ordinary bait, nothing special to say, but I did add some original pond grain powder I bought from a local fishing store!”

“Let me have a smell!” Since Yue Feng wasn’t forthcoming, Zhao Zheng reached over and pinched a bit of bait from Yue Feng’s food box.

Apart from the smell of Musk Wine, everything else indeed seemed to be regular stuff.

The scent wasn’t particularly striking and was about seventy to eighty percent similar to what Zhao Zheng had.

“It’s not too different indeed!

Thanks, brother!” Zhao Zheng dismissed his doubts and politely thanked him.

Yue Feng nodded and smiled as an acknowledgement.

The staff members were weighing the catch in the order of sequence numbers.

Not far behind was the fish carrier truck.

After weighing on the electronic scale, the fish were packed up and taken away in the truck.

Yue Feng briefly observed the catches of several anglers, estimating around seventy to eighty pounds at most and didn’t see any standout catches.

After a short wait, it was Zhao Zheng’s turn.

The staff member walked over to Zhao Zheng’s position, skillfully and leisurely lifted the Fish Guard from the water, pressing it down against the water’s edge as they neared extraction, and slowly pulled it up.

Despite Zhao Zheng’s low-key demeanor, he wasn’t far behind in the first hour of the competition, with an estimated weight of over a hundred pounds of fish in his Fish Guard.

Snatching that much in an hour wasn’t too slow at all.

“113.5 pounds!

Not bad, you have a chance at qualifying!” the weighing referee remarked casually after seeing the number of fish caught.

“What?

I can qualify with that?

I thought I was pretty much out of the running!” Zhao Zheng was somewhat incredulous.

“As of now, you should be in second place.

There are still five or six people left to weigh in.

The top three from each zone qualify, and if you’re lucky, you should have a chance!” the referee said, showing Zhao Zheng a glimpse of the score sheet after seeing his disbelief.

On the sheet, the majority were in the sixty to seventy-pound range, with a few in the seventies and eighties, and not much more than that!

“Damn!

I really do have a chance!” Zhao Zheng exclaimed, standing up from his Fishing Box.

“Alright, Quit bragging.

Sign your name on the back of the score sheet; others are still waiting!” the referee urged.

“Okay!”

…

After Zhao Zheng signed, it was Yue Feng’s turn.

The burly lad handling the Fish Guard tried to lift Yue Feng’s and couldn’t budge it.

“Damn, is the Fish Guard caught on something?”

Yue Feng scratched his head, “I don’t think so.

There’s just a lot of fish, and they’re hard to lift.

If it doesn’t work, let’s use a scoop net to haul them out!”

Hearing this, the staff member was taken aback, signaled to a colleague, and with four hands, they barely managed to lift the Fish Guard, still unable to haul it up.

Even the referee was no longer composed at this point.

“You’ve caught quite a few.

It’s genuinely difficult to drag them ashore, but if two strong lads can’t haul it up, it’s easily two to three hundred pounds of fish!” the knowledgeable referee said.

“About that.

I got lucky and hit a fish nest!

By the way, I’ve got two big fish in my Fish Guard; should we weigh them separately, or how should we do this?

This is my first time at this competition, so I’m not too sure!” Yue Feng said humbly.

“Okay, no rush, take your time.

Liu, go get a 35-caliber scoop-net head!”

The scoop net was quickly brought over, and the fish were scooped out from the Fish Guard, one by one, into a plastic crate.

Soon, the crate was more than half full, and after a while, it was packed.

The Fish Guard was still challenging to drag up.

When the second crate was finally emptied, they managed to haul the Fish Guard up.

“Damn!

Well done, man!

You must have caught at least three hundred pounds!” Zhao Zheng said, very surprised.

“Let’s see after it’s weighed; I’m not sure myself!”

Soon, the total weight from the three crates was announced—Yue Feng’s haul weighed 311 pounds!

A Carp weighed 21.8 pounds.

A large Flower Carp came in at 26.6 pounds!

“Congratulations, you won this round!

As for these two big fish, their scores can only be counted as the heaviest single fish for the leaderboard.

Please sign on the score sheet!” The referee took an extra look at Yue Feng, but had no recollection of his face at all.

“Alright, thank you!” Yue Feng expressed his thanks and wrote his name on the score sheet.

“Bro, got any plans after this?

Wanna grab a meal together?

My treat!!” Zhao Zheng said eagerly.

Yue Feng shook his head, “Sorry, I’m here with a date and it’s not convenient.

Maybe another time!” The two men were mere acquaintances, and uninvited kindness was either a scheme or a scam.

Yue Feng, being out and about, had no intention of dealing with this matter.
