Chapter 701 - 701 688 Jiang Taigong Fishes Those Who Wish Will Take the Bait

701: Chapter 688: Jiang Taigong Fishes, Those Who Wish Will Take the Bait 701: Chapter 688: Jiang Taigong Fishes, Those Who Wish Will Take the Bait Before coming here, he had already caught two fish, and now in front of everyone, he caught another big one!

The resources at this spot were definitely abundant.

Stimulated by this, Pete and Paul heatedly threw their lures towards the spot.

After changing to a new leader line and lure, the very first cast reached the bottom and, on the retrieve, got snagged again!

“Damn it, what the hell is underwater that keeps snagging my lure!” Pete tried to reel in with the rod bent, but it wouldn’t budge.

Paul, not far away, was even more irate.

Instead of smoothing the rod to pull by hand, he recklessly pulled it up with brute force.

There was a snap, and a perfectly good lure rod was violently broken!

Yue Feng grinned, “That is indeed interesting!

Not bad at all!”

The next second, Yue Feng pulled the fish from the water.

A bass that was barely bigger than a palm, stretching maybe twenty to thirty centimeters.

Yue Feng: “Oh dear, I wonder what went wrong, such a small fish had such great strength just now!”

After seeing Yue Feng’s catch, Pete and Paul’s expressions turned incredibly sour; damn it, he was obviously messing with them!

A small bass had deliberately mimicked the sensation of a big fish being caught.

It destabilized their composure, causing them to snag their lures, and even break a rod.

Yue Feng casually picked up the bass, unhooked it, and threw it back into the water: “Captain David, there are probably no more fish at this spot, let’s move ahead and try another place!”

“Ok!”

The public channel immediately exploded again!

“Aw man, Brother Feng is way too wicked!”

“Such a small fish, and yet it had so much strength?

Something’s off there.”

“Someone stop that honest man upstairs from running off!”

“Catching the honest man +1, Brother Feng is too naughty!”

“Hahaha, that’s hilarious!

Especially the tall, thin American, seeing Brother Feng catch a fish, he got so anxious that he broke the rod!”

“That’s the difference between a fishing master and a common man, using every opportunity to affect the opponent, well done Brother Feng!”

Yue Feng: “Just minor tricks!

Since I can’t rid myself of these annoying guys, I might as well make some trouble for them!

Currently, we have five big mouth bass in hand, including two that are noticeably bigger, staying ahead of the others shouldn’t be a problem!

My goal is simple, to catch one or two more fish by the end of the competition at two o’clock this afternoon, which should ensure our lead!”

What Yue Feng said was indeed accurate; aside from him now, the temporary leaderboard backstage showed that the highest anyone else had caught was just three fish, and they were just barely size.

The fishing boat traveled on the water surface, and several potential fishing structures were found along the way, but the ranges were relatively small and Yue Feng did not stop.

About twenty minutes later, they reached one of Captain David’s recorded spots.

Paul and Pete quickly caught up with their boat, and the young anglers who realized they had been duped looked at Yue Feng with unfriendly eyes.

However, with the referee boat present, they dared not do anything against the rules, not even utter a provocative swear word.

This was no laughing matter.

Deliberately provoking other anglers in front of the referee could be recorded and affect their score.

If it were noted in the evaluation, it could potentially impact their registration for other competitions.

Even the foolish wouldn’t attempt such a thing.

By the time they reached this fishing spot, Joe Smith’s fishing boat had also come over from another side.

The number of boats causing disturbances had increased from three to four.

On the referee boat, Brown used binoculars to observe Joe Smith’s boat and said to his companion, “It looks like this Chinese angler is in trouble!

Joe Smith and his group are using pack-hunting tactics to affect his catch!

This spot is an old one, and with so many people gathered, the Chinese angler can hardly gain any advantage and might end up with nothing!

Should we remind these guys?”

Johnson, after observing for a few seconds with binoculars and thinking briefly, shook his head, “According to the rules, this isn’t against the rules!

Even if we approached them and reminded them, it wouldn’t help!

This kind of situation happens in top Big Mouth Bass competitions, let alone mere state competitions!”

“However, I’m even more interested in this Chinese angler now.

It was clear that he deliberately misled his opponents using a small bass earlier; Paul’s rod even broke!”

“We just need to do our job.

The rest, let’s just watch as if it’s a drama!”

…

When they arrived at the new spot, Captain David said to Yue Feng, “This spot has been known for many years.

In the rainy seasons, a fallen tree was swept here and left behind as the waters receded!

See the faintly visible tips of the branches above the water?

This area of about twenty square meters is the spot!

However, you need to be extra careful; the underwater branches are dense and very likely to snag!”

Yue Feng scanned the area.

David was right; it was indeed easy to snag.

Looking across the surface, near the water-exposed treetops, a large blade was hooked.

In nearby shallower waters, some lures reflect faintly.

“Snagging is not really a problem for me.

Those guys following us should be more worried!”

While talking, Yue Feng casually took the lure pliers from his waist and removed both treble hooks from the lure in front of David.

Throughout the fishing process earlier, Yue Feng had changed treble hooks many times, but this time it was different.

After removing the hooks, Yue Feng did not replace them with new ones; instead, he kept the lure bare and cast it out boldly.

Without hooks, just using a lure, could you catch fish?

Perhaps in certain special cases of sea fishing against fierce deep-sea fish, there is a tiny, minute possibility.

For fishing Big Mouth Bass, however, it was almost impossible.

But Yue Feng did it anyway.

“You forgot to replace the treble hooks!” David reminded.

Yue Feng smiled, shaking his head, “No, I didn’t forget.

In our Chinese saying, this is called ‘fishing like Jiang Taigong; those who are willing will take the bait!'”

The hookless lure was somewhat affected in its swimming posture in the water.

After entering the water, it slowly sank and soon touched the underwater branches.

Yue Feng felt a slight change in the line and immediately lifted the rod tip, pulling the lure out of that position and continuing its descent!

If there were treble hooks, no matter how carefully you manoeuvered in such terrain, 99 percent of the time it would snag, but without hooks, the chance of getting snagged was greatly reduced.

In front of the opposing fishing boats, Yue Feng just coolly cast out the lure, then leisurely controlled, retrieved line, looking no different.

The other anglers, fearful that Yue Feng might catch fish first, also hurriedly cast theirs toward this area.

To influence Yue Feng as much as possible, their lures fell extremely close to where the underwater branches were densest.
