696: Chapter 683: United States Judge 696: Chapter 683: United States Judge “Damn, didn’t Yue Feng say it was tough to catch the target fish species in the competition?

Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem too hard!”

“In just this short time, Yue Feng has already caught three target fish, two of which met the requirements!”

“Yue Feng, Yue Feng, with our two valid fish, where do we stand now in the ranking?”

“The Americans act all high and mighty every day.

Yue Feng, please show them a performance that will teach these clueless guys a lesson about China’s anglers and how to fish!”

Yue Feng grinned and casually put the fish into the live well, “As for our current score, we should be in the lead for now.

Before we started fishing, I gathered some info; usually, in similar competitions from eight in the morning to two in the afternoon, spanning two days, a score of around a dozen fish is usually good enough for a decent rank!

Alright guys, no more chatting; I’ve found the fishing method, analyzed the fish behavior, let’s take advantage of the cooler morning temps and catch a few more!”

After saying this, Yue Feng pinched the lure, checked the triple hooks for deformities or damage, and then cast out again.

Just like the last cast, he kept the sinking pencil in the middle and lower layers of the water, rhythmically reeling in to make the lure swim enticingly to attract the Big Mouth Bass.

After casting it over ten times in the same spot, Yue Feng had thoroughly searched the potential water layers, made sure nothing was overlooked, and then notified Captain David to move the boat again!

During the stop, David kept a close watch on Yue Feng’s fishing performance.

David is also a seasoned fishing enthusiast and particularly fond of Big Mouth Bass, but it was his first time seeing someone use the lure like this.

The lure was noticeably smaller, and the rod was a bit softer — not to mention, striking fish twice consecutively in a position that clearly had underwater structure, otherwise, the first cast wouldn’t have hit the bottom.

However, without instruments, how did he spot this marker with just his eyes?

David noted down the coordinate, but he couldn’t figure out the principle behind it.

While David was heading to the next predetermined spot, they had not gone far when Yue Feng called for him to stop the boat again.

He discovered another area showing a light blue color!

This time, Yue Feng got smarter, he skipped scouring the bottom and after estimating the depth with his first cast, he began navigating the lure in the middle and lower middle layers of the water.

Sure enough, he caught another fish soon after!

Catching three Big Mouth Bass in such a short duration was already shocking, but this was far from Yue Feng’s limit.

The new marker yielded another Big Mouth Bass.

However, this fish was much smaller; Yue Feng pulled it in, measured it, shook his head, and put it back in the water.

Yue Feng: “Unfortunately, this one isn’t long enough!”

“Damn, Yue Feng has caught another fish!

That was too fast!”

“Not big enough?

Could there be some overlooked details?

Like, does the depth or something affect the size?”

“Are adult Big Mouth Bass that rare?

Four fish caught, and two didn’t meet the standard!

That’s only a fifty percent success rate!”

Though the speaker was unguarded, the listeners in the live stream chat had a thoughtful discussion that sparked an idea in Yue Feng’s mind.

Both smaller Big Mouth Bass were caught at higher water levels, while the two larger ones, though not at the utmost bottom, were clearly in deeper waters!

Consider the example of smaller crucian carp in domestic Taiwan Fishing, which can reach the middle or even the surface of the water; it’s often the smaller ones that do, and the larger they are, the less likely they are to rise.

Could this same pattern possibly apply to Big Mouth Bass as well?

Besides that, could the chasing speed also automatically select the size of the Big Mouth Bass?

If you reel in too fast, the big fish can’t catch up, naturally increasing the chances of hooking smaller Big Mouth Bass.

After all, within the same species of fish, the larger the size, the slower the swimming speed, which is an objective rule.

Realizing this, Yue Feng once again made slight adjustments to the fishing depth and reeling speed.

He set the water depth at about two and a half meters, the lure’s position around two meters, and he also slightly slowed down the reeling speed for a try.

The trouble with experimentation is its unpredictability, but after making targeted tweaks, Yue Feng quickly caught another fish.

This time, the force from under the water was significantly bigger than the previous smaller fish, and after two rounds of pulling, indeed, it was another large Big Mouth Bass.

Davis was almost taken aback by the continuous catch of Big Mouth Bass.

The equipment on board marked only one spot, and they believed that he had now successively caught five Big Mouth Bass, three of which met the competition standards!

The speed of catching fish was terrifying.

Not only was Captain Davis incredulous, but the Black lady monitoring the live video on the boat was also in great shock.

“It’s unbelievable!

Alex, the Chinese angler has caught another Big Mouth Bass; from the start of the competition until now, this is already the fifth fish, three of which meet the competition standards!”

“What?

Five?

What about other anglers?” Alex couldn’t help asking.

“Rich, one!

And Davis, one!

The other anglers haven’t caught any qualifying fish yet!”

“Crazy!

This Chinese guy couldn’t be cheating, could he?

Where are they now?

I think it’s necessary to communicate with the lake control referees to have them check out what’s going on!” Alex proposed.

“That’s a good idea!

I’m sending the coordinates to the nearest referee right now!”

Soon after, the Black lady relayed the situation via walkie-talkie to the competition referees patrolling on the lake, and a race official boat, painted in blue and white, headed towards the given coordinates.

Enjoying his success, Yue Feng was unaware of the significant impact his consecutive catches were having on others’ perceptions and continued to finely adjust various fishing details, seeking the best strategy for catching Big Mouth Bass.

In less than five minutes at the current spot, Yue Feng cast more than ten rods and once again caught a fish!

However, this time he was less lucky; the fish pulled out of the water wasn’t the much-anticipated Big Mouth Bass but a strange fish species considerably larger and with more vivid colors.

This fish had a slightly yellowish-brown back with dark green, marble-like spots on its back and dorsal fin, a paler side compared to its back with red spots surrounded by a blue hue.

The most striking feature was its lower abdomen, which was a vibrant red, creating a dazzling visual impact.

“Damn, what kind of fish is this, do any expert bros recognize it?”

“Looking at its shape and mouth, it seems like some type of salmon; we probably don’t have it in our country!”
