Fishing Livestream
Chapter 408 - 408 397 The Captain Takes Action

408: Chapter 397: The Captain Takes Action 408: Chapter 397: The Captain Takes Action Han Luofeng had been mixing in the fishing circles for over a decade and was familiar with almost all the fishing masters, big and small.

In recent years, with the rise of the live streaming industry, many fishing experts had opened their own live streaming accounts, but the vertical audience for fishing was not as large as in other categories.

For instance, Zhou Ziqing, a famous angler Han Luofeng knew, was one of the first competitive anglers to get into live streaming.

Even so, after all this time, he had only about five or six hundred thousand followers.

Unexpectedly, the obscure Yue Feng actually had fifty thousand followers!

If these fans were not artificially inflating the numbers through technical means, then Yue Feng must truly have something special.

He was definitely a character to watch!

After briefly checking Yue Feng’s profile, Han Luofeng casually clicked on the top skit.

It was the second installment of Yue Feng’s accuracy casting series from yesterday noon, challenging the feat of casting into a beer bottle opening from three meters six.

The skit was uploaded just ten minutes ago, but it had already garnered tens of thousands of views.

The comments section was filled with praises like “awesome” and “666.” It was clear that it was another hit.

Having watched the skit, Han Luofeng made a direct judgment on Yue Feng’s skills.

Casting a lead skin seat into the mouth of a beer bottle using a 3.6-meter fishing rod with a perfect score of ten out of ten was something not even Han Luofeng could confidently claim he could achieve.

No wonder Little Hai and the others lost!!

“What were the details of this morning’s fish-off?

Duan Peng, describe it to me!” Han Luofeng calmly asked.

Seeing that the team leader was perking up, Duan Peng didn’t dare to lie and recounted the fish-off incidents of the previous three rounds in detail.

As the current team leader of the Hua Clan, Han Luofeng’s understanding of fishing far exceeded that of an ordinary team member.

From Duan Peng’s description, Han Luofeng roughly outlined the morning’s events and his brow furrowed slightly.

“Captain, that guy is just a kid in his early twenties, do we really need to be so cautious?

The main reason we lost was that we didn’t have a thorough understanding of the fish situation in the factory’s Practice Pole Pond.

If you took him on, you would definitely put him in his place!” Duan Peng flattered.

Han Luofeng squinted his eyes and responded, “Don’t try to butter me up.

Based on what you’ve described, this Yue Feng has very solid fundamentals, and the bait he prepared was more effective than yours!

Let’s set aside the first match as a tactical blunder for now.

In the second and third matches, using the same fixed-depth fishing approach as you, he still caught over ten more fish than you.

This shows that he outclasses you in every aspect, both in terms of skill and bait!”

“Outclass?

That’s a bit much, isn’t it?

He’s only ever so slightly faster!” Duan Peng was still resistant, unwilling to admit the team leader’s assessment.

“Oh, you don’t believe me?

According to your account, the bait Yue Feng prepared and shared with that Zhao Zheng allowed Zhao Zheng to catch more fish than you as well!

Even though Zhao Zheng’s basics are not as good as Yue Feng’s, he still managed to edge you out.

Doesn’t that prove something?

We’re very familiar with the fish in the factory’s Practice Pole Pond.

With long-term fishing, preferences for certain baits and behaviors have formed.

Their bait preparation was definitely more on point than what you guys were using!”

This finally silenced Duan Peng, who, after cooling down a bit, realized that things were indeed as the captain had said.

“So, what should we do?” Little Hai asked, sounding unsure.

Han Luofeng pondered for a few seconds.

“This afternoon, I’ll go meet him myself to see if he’s as good as you say.”

Upon hearing that the team leader was taking charge to regain their honor, the three dispirited team members were instantly filled with confidence.

It’s worth noting that Han Luofeng was one of the top new-generation leaders in the Taiwan Fishing competitive scene, with fishing skills and competitive form at an absolute peak.

He was a formidable opponent against any top domestic angler.

Xiao Hai continued, “Captain, with you joining in, it’ll be like picking snails with three fingers, almost a sure win!

Then we’ll see if that guy can still strut around!”

“You don’t know, but that guy used the money he won from us to treat all the trainees to ice cream just before packing up.

I wished I could dig a hole and bury myself.

It was so embarrassing!”

“You guys have really lost face for our team!

No lunch break for you, head to the backyard Practice Pole Pond to work on the basics.

I’ll be watching from the activity room upstairs; whoever dares to slack off won’t be brought along for the next match.

We, the Hua Clan, cannot afford to lose any more face!”

“Oh!” The three chaps shrank their necks, obediently went to have their meal, and then under the scorching sun of over thirty degrees, practiced the basic skills of casting the fishing rod.

…

Around two in the afternoon, Han Luofeng called out and led Duan Peng, Xiao Hai, and Lei Ming straight to the factory’s Practice Pole Pond.

Yue Feng’s team also assembled in the afternoon, and Instructor Yang still hadn’t arranged any new activities, so everyone continued to practice the basics of casting at the pond’s edge.

Zhao Zheng had a popsicle in his mouth, eating while saying, “Do you think those guys will come again this afternoon?

It’s already this time, and there’s been no movement!”

Yue Feng replied with a slight shake of his head and a smile on his face, “Hard to say!”

“I doubt it!

Those guys don’t seem to be that skilled as anglers.

Instructor Yang said it himself, only Duan Peng is a formal member; the other two are just reserves.

With their lousy skills, if they dare to come again, they’ll probably lose nine out of ten times!”

While the two brothers were quietly gossiping, several cars entered the factory area.

Hearing the sound of the engines, Yue Feng looked up.

Yue Feng said with a laugh, “Ha ha, who said they didn’t dare to come?

Look, they’ve arrived, and it seems like there’s one extra person!”

In the morning, the three guys drove over in an Iveco with a local license plate, probably the usual vehicle used by the club for competing.

In the afternoon, not only did the Iveco return, but there was also an additional silver-grey Toyota Tundra pickup in front.

“Damn, a Toyota Tundra!

That’s not a cheap ride!” Zhao Zheng glanced over and said with an air of appreciation.

Soon, Han Luofeng got out of the car, carrying his Fishing Box and Rod Bag along with other equipment, and headed straight for the Practice Pole Pond.

“Who’s this guy, Feng?

Do you know him?

I’m not sure about his skills, but he sure looks the part!” Zhao Zheng asked, full of opinions.

Yue Feng and his brother didn’t know him, but Qin Hu did.

He smiled from a distance and went up to greet the newcomer, helping with the bags and exchanging greetings all smiles.

The two appeared to be about the same age, but the level of respect Qin Hu showed was hard to miss.

“Yue Feng, Zhao Zheng!

Let me introduce you.

This is the captain of the Hua Clan Fishing Club’s team, a national First Level Fishing Master, Han Luofeng!” Qin Hu said with an ingratiating smile, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.

After hearing this, Yue Feng became slightly more guarded, but greeted him politely, “Hello, I’m Yue Feng!

The class leader of the 30th group of trainees and this is my brother, Zhao Zheng!”

Seeing Yue Feng in person, Han Luofeng felt that this guy was different from what he had expected.

Setting aside fishing skills for the moment, the guy was much younger than he thought, no wonder the little sister was close to him.

This guy was definitely a handsome fellow, the kind with sharp features that appeal to all ages.

“I heard from Duan Peng at noon that you lost three games in a row with fish bites, so I specially came to see for myself!

Mate, your skills are impressive!!” Han Luofeng said lightly.

Yue Feng went straight to the point, “You flatter me, it was just luck!

I see you’ve brought your gear too, what about it?

Fancy a few rounds?”
