Fishing Livestream
Chapter 697 - 697 684 Interrogation

697: Chapter 684: Interrogation 697: Chapter 684: Interrogation “American Red Spot Salmon!

The flesh of this fish is quite delicious!

It’s also strong, a predatory fish!”

Yue Feng gave the fish a look, casually used his Lure pliers to remove the hook, and threw the fish back into the water.

Yue Feng explained, “This indeed is an American Red Spot Salmon!

It’s not our target species, so I let it go right away!

This fish is very aggressive, and if it is around, other fish are generally chased away.

So, we don’t need to continue searching in this area!

Captain David, let’s move on!”

Old David nodded and once again started the boat toward the next spot.

However, during their journey to the next spot, a blue and white boat appeared in Yue Feng’s field of vision.

“What’s going on?

Did anglers from another area overlap with us this quickly?” Yue Feng curiously asked.

David squinted at the other boat and replied, “That’s the tournament referee’s boat, constantly patrolling the lake by area to prevent cheating during the competition!

We are following all the rules in our fishing process, just keep going and fishing normally, no need to mind them!”

“Oh, okay!” Yue Feng nodded, feeling relieved.

But the subsequent behavior of the referee’s boat did not seem that simple to Yue Feng.

The boat unexpectedly took a diagonal turn on the water, adjusted its direction, and then started following Yue Feng’s fishing boat.

“Damn, Brother Zheng, is that boat intentionally following you guys?”

“Do you even need to ask?

Definitely it is, after making a turn to follow us, the intent is pretty obvious!”

“Could it be Brother Feng’s performance has drawn their attention, and they came specifically to monitor?”

Yue Feng: “Brothers, let’s not overthink!

If we act uprightly, we fear no surveillance!

If they want to follow, then let them follow!”

Just as Yue Feng noticed the referee’s boat, the two middle-aged judges onboard were observing Yue Feng’s performance through binoculars.

“Hey, Johnson, check out the video monitoring desk over there.

Is there a drone continuously following the boat we’re supposed to monitor?” the slightly bald Caucasian judge Brown asked, pointing towards Yue Feng’s side.

Johnson took the binoculars and had a look, “Indeed it’s a drone!

To maintain stable following in a moving state, this drone is no cheap piece!

Could it be that the recent good catch is related to this drone?”

Brown nodded, “Maybe, who knows?

I think we should speed up and catch up to ask them!

If it really is related to the drone, then the secret to their continuous catch might be revealed!

That would count as using equipment to cheat, and we must stop it!”

After agreeing, the two judges immediately increased the speed of their boat, quickly switching from following to chasing.

“Attention fishing vessel ahead, this is Referee Boat 009, we need to verify an issue with you; please reduce your speed and prepare to be questioned!” Johnson adjusted the frequency on his walkie-talkie, and within seconds, Yue Feng’s radio received the message to stop the boat.

Captain David quickly reduced the speed and stopped the boat.

David asked, “What happened, Sir Johnson?”

Johnson: “Hey, my old friend David!

There’s a small issue we need to delay you for a moment.

We just received a message from the shore team that your fishing boat has recently caught five Big Mouth Bass, three of which meet the standards!”

“Yes, is there a problem?

Yue Feng here is a distinguished guest of my boss, a young Fishing King from China, participating in the Big Mouth Bass competition for the first time!” Captain David immediately clarified Yue Feng’s identity.

“May I ask what the drone following your boat is used for?

Are you using it to locate schools of fish?” Brown pressed on.

Hearing this, Yue Feng finally understood the reason for their pursuit; it turned out they had noticed his livestreaming equipment.

Yue Feng shook his head, “This is what I use for capturing video and livestreaming!

In fact, I’m an outdoor fishing host with millions of followers.

If you’re interested, you can check out the livestream through my personal device!”

Seeing Yue Feng’s proactive response, Brown and Johnson quickly moved their boat closer.

Brown even took Yue Feng’s smartphone.

On the smartphone, a livestream was indeed ongoing, displaying the surroundings from the drone’s perspective, including the white-and-blue referee boat and the Black Pearl fishing boat clearly visible, along with the people on board.

What surprised the two Americans even more was the live viewer count displayed in the stream; the number of concurrent viewers had already exceeded fifty thousand, with many viewers chatting in English and saying hi to the referees in public chat.

“Please forgive our intrusion!

There’s no problem now; you can continue fishing as normal,” Johnson said after glancing at the screen, instructing his companion to hand back Yue Feng’s smartphone.

“Ok!” Yue Feng nodded and Captain David restarted the engine, moving forward.

“Damn Americans, can’t they take a loss gracefully?”

“So hypocritical, just because there’s a good catch doesn’t mean it’s cheating!”

“The more they act like this, the more we need to catch fish and leave those fools far behind, giving the Americans a resounding slap!”

Yue Feng: “It’s the same here as at home.

The actions of the referees are according to procedure, so there’s nothing to complain about!

When you come to someone else’s place for a competition, naturally you need to follow their rules, and there’s no need to be emotional about it!

Actually, the fault lies with us; I didn’t register the use of drones for livestreaming with the staff in advance!”

“That boat is still following us!

Clearly, those guys still aren’t convinced!”

After the delay, a few minutes later, the fishing boat arrived at a pre-saved waypoint.

David: “Mr.

Yue Feng, we’ve reached our new waypoint!”

Yue Feng glanced over the area near a protruding part of a small island in the middle of the lake, a transition zone between deep and shallow waters.

Standing on the boat and looking over, one could distinctly see the difference in water color, indicating shallower water.

“Ok, thank you!” Yue Feng courteously replied, casting his fishing rod near the marked structure at the transition between deep and shallow waters.

Whether it’s predatory fish or other freshwater species, their frequent gathering areas usually fall into a few categories: either there’s an abundance of food, suitable hiding spots from predators, or good conditions for breeding.

The underwater structure at this transition of deep and shallow perfectly met these three conditions.

On the first cast, it took just four seconds for the lure to hit the bottom, leading Yue Feng to estimate the water depth at about one meter.

Big Mouth Bass are a type of predatory fish that heavily rely on light; better visibility makes it easier for the fish to spot prey.

In shallower water, there is no need to fish far from the bottom.

After ensuring there were no obstructions on the lakebed, Yue Feng decided to search near the bottom at this waypoint.
