Chapter 707 - 707 694 Locking in the Champion One Day Ahead

707: Chapter 694: Locking in the Champion One Day Ahead 707: Chapter 694: Locking in the Champion One Day Ahead No wonder the two of them asked such questions.

Previously, the application process stretched over several weeks, even months, whereas this time it could be done in just a few days.

That seemed a bit exaggerated.

Could there be some new advantage in the certification process for a record broken in the United States?

Zhang Lin nodded, “Yes, very quickly!

Because Yue Feng had set the record during a state competition under the United States Fishing Association, it meant there was endorsement from the event organization!

The preliminary qualification review, process verification, personnel reevaluation, and evidence examination could all be significantly reduced!

Three to five days is actually an overestimate.

Frankly speaking, if everything goes smoothly, the application approval could take one day, the website announcement another day, just a formality really, and it would be approved!”

“That’s great news!” Yue Feng nodded.

“Not only that, there’s more good news for you!

Yue Feng, you might just become the first Chinese angler to win a championship at a United States state competition!” Zhang Lin continued.

Yue Feng: “Champion?

Isn’t it a bit too early to say that?

There’s still one more day of competition tomorrow!”

“I personally think it’s almost certain!

So far, you’ve caught six regular Big Mouth Bass and one giant Big Mouth Bass, which absolutely puts you at a crushing lead in terms of total weight!

Not to mention, a standard Big Mouth Bass weighs only about one and a half pounds.

Even if someone were to catch an exaggerated twenty fish over two days, that’s only thirty pounds, not even close to the weight of your one big fish!

Unless someone else also gets lucky and catches a similar mutant big fish!”

With Zhang Lin’s explanation, Yue Feng quickly caught on.

Yeah, seven fish might not sound like a lot, but the competition over two days is about the total final weight!

Looking at it this way, as long as there are no disqualifications due to violations, the championship is nearly in the bag.

“Stay calm, stay calm!

Keep a good mindset!” Yue Feng’s lips curled up, but he still suppressed the joy bubbling up inside.

Competing in a foreign land and facing various adversities to win the championship was indeed a cause for celebration!

You might say, it was a double joy today!

Just then, while standing by the side, a staff member responsible for tallying the day’s fish catches approached with a form.

“Hello, Mr.

Yue Feng, this is your final score for today’s competition.

If there are no objections, please sign your name at the bottom right corner!”

Yue Feng took the paper form and glanced at it.

It was similar to a Taiwan Fishing competition score sheet from China but more detailed.

If he had to compare, it was a bit like a driver’s license test score sheet!

The other fish were just recorded in terms of length and total weight, barely worth mentioning.

But that mutant Big Mouth Bass had its actual photo in color print on the form, detailing length, weight, area where the fish was caught, and signatures from several English names afterward.

The final weight was 49.73 pounds.

The second place wasn’t even close to even a fraction of Yue Feng’s score.

Yue Feng skimmed through it himself and had Wawa and Zhang Lin double-check to confirm there were no issues before finally signing his name in the designated spot.

Among the many English names, Yue Feng’s distinctly angular block characters stood out, as did his scores among the numerous American anglers.

After signing, today’s competition was officially over.

Yue Feng had been busy since the morning and hadn’t even eaten lunch.

The excitement from catching the record-breaking fish had sustained him, and he hadn’t felt hungry, but now that the excitement had passed, his stomach couldn’t help but rumble.

“Yue Feng and I had lunch already, I brought you a burger in the car!

It’s still more than an hour to get home, if you’re too hungry, just have a bite?” Wawa said, covering her mouth when she heard Yue Feng’s stomach growling.

Yue Feng nodded, “Okay, but I need to confirm with David first, I’ve already promised this big fish to Lawrence!

He said he would put it in the lake on his farm.”

After greeting, Yue Feng and David finally confirmed that the equipment for transporting the fish was very sophisticated and the fish would definitely be fine for a few hours, David would personally deliver the fish.

Having sorted out a series of chores, Yue Feng finished his livestream for the day, bid farewell to his viewers, and the competition would continue tomorrow.

As Yue Feng was munching on the burger and heading to his accommodation, news that the Chinese angler had caught an extremely large Big Mouth Bass in the state competition spread throughout the fishing circles in the United States.

This bombshell news was like dropping a super-heavy nuclear bomb on the whole territory of the United States, rapidly spreading to every corner.

As mentioned before, the Big Mouth Bass in the United States held a position similar to that of crucian carp in Taiwan Fishing circles in China, and a Big Mouth Bass weighing over thirty pounds was comparable to catching a wild crucian carp over ten pounds in a major competition in China—an absolutely eye-popping and norm-shattering discovery.

People everywhere were inquiring who Yue Feng was, and many were even thinking of buying this alleged mutant fish for themselves, but before evening, new information had already come out.

The owner of the mutant Big Mouth Bass, the Chinese angler Yue Feng, had gifted his rare catch to Lawrence, the nationally-known billionaire!

At this point, ordinary people with their little schemes were extinguished!

Bill Gates has whales in his home aquariums, and when these wealthy people reach a certain level of wealth, they act with total disregard for cost, so the precious mutant Big Mouth Bass was out of reach for ordinary folks.

After filling his stomach, Yue Feng recalled on the car how David had been up front blocking various media from taking his pictures and so casually asked about it.

After hearing Yue Feng’s inquiry, Zhang Lin smiled, “I think the captain was right!

The United States isn’t exactly a very safe country, although it prides itself on its democracy and freedom.

Really, after dark, the cities are filled with large areas brimming with various gray and even black criminal activities!

The fact that they took your picture is of secondary importance, the fear is those unreliable tabloids producing sensationalism by spewing nonsense and distorting the truth, which could create unexpected troubles for you!”

But now, the news that the fish was given to Lawrence has spread on Facebook, so your invisible risks have also been mitigated!

After all, this creature’s living value isn’t cheap, is it?”

“Not cheap?” Hearing these words, Yue Feng’s money-grubbing nature kicked in again.

This was the second time today that Yue Feng had heard about money being linked to this fish.

Earlier, Sean had expressed a willingness to pay for some research materials and Yue Feng generously gave him a few fish scales, and also took a little blood from the tail.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Lin to say the same.

“Of course!

At any time, mutant creatures have extremely high scientific value!

Just take this Big Mouth Bass for instance—if naturally occurring mutations survive and the genes can be passed on to the next generation, then through various artificial interferences and cultivation, it’s possible to obtain a superior breed of Big Mouth Bass.

When that happens, promoting it within China, or even directly exporting it to earn foreign revenue, that could be a sum well beyond ordinary expectations!

Think about our domestic beans, corn!”
