Chapter 709 - 709 696 Three Major Awards

709: Chapter 696: Three Major Awards 709: Chapter 696: Three Major Awards This state competition drew a total of eighty participants, forming forty teams, with each boat constituting a team; the captain who steered the ship was also part of the team.

The top five teams received rewards, beginning with the fifth-place team, who were invited to the stage to give a speech, accept their prize, and take a photo for posterity.

All of the anglers were Americans whom Yue Feng didn’t know—none of the few who had caused him trouble won any awards, so Yue Feng wasn’t very interested.

Finally, it was time for the championship award ceremony, and the atmosphere was brought to a peak by the host.

“Next, the individual coming on stage to receive the award is the champion of this Big Mouth Bass State Competition!

To my surprise, he is a young Chinese angler!

This time, he swept away three major awards: the overall heaviest weight, the weight of a single largest catch, and breaking a ten-year state record for total weight; he is Yue Feng!

Now, please welcome the amazing Chinese angler Yue Feng to the stage!”

As the host introduced Yue Feng’s three major awards, a wave of passionate cheers erupted from the many fishing enthusiasts below the stage; the atmosphere was far more lively than the lackluster, perfunctory applause common back in his home country.

Yue Feng glanced at his phone’s public channel and said to his livestream audience, “They’re calling us up to accept the award.

Stay put, everyone; I’m about to teach the Americans a lesson on stage!”

After speaking, Yue Feng took confident strides toward the stage, holding a doll.

Yes, you heard it right, Yue Feng brought the doll with him onto the stage,

Although his English was sufficient for basic communication, for such a solemn occasion, he preferred not to embarrass himself; after much deliberation, he decided it was safer to have the doll help with translations.

“Wow, you’re much younger than I imagined, and very, very handsome!” the blonde hostess exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration, almost drooling over him—if it weren’t for all the people watching.

According to American beauty standards, few Asian men usually catch their interest, but Yue Feng was different; his firm eyebrows, prominent nose, and well-defined facial contours made him a youthful heartthrob who could win people over with just his looks.

“Your dress today is very pretty as well!” Yue Feng politely responded.

The doll translated his words into standard American English for the hostess to hear.

“Is this your translator?”

“No, she’s my girlfriend!

We came to the United States together!”

“Oh, that’s a shame!

I was just thinking, after the award ceremony is over, maybe we could go out for a drink!”

“That’s not a good idea, I love her very much!” Yue Feng shrugged, his understanding of American women’s openness and straightforwardness growing deeper.

He didn’t hesitate to reject the offer.

“Well, let’s take a look at your profile then!

Yue Feng, 26 years old, a professional angler from China, has won the prestigious title of Fishing King in competitions within China!

Every two years, only one Fishing King is selected, and this represents the highest honor for a Taiwan Fishing Expert in China!

The discoverer and capturer of the giant mutant Gerridae at Kanas Lake, and also holding three World Fishing Association records for the heaviest single catch!

My god, such a resume is simply perfect; it’s maddening!”

Most foreigners respect strength, and although they initially looked down on the Chinese, their attitudes became much more respectful after witnessing Yue Feng’s performance.

After listening to the host’s detailed introduction, admiration skyrocketed.

Surprised gasps even emanated from the crowd below.

Yue Feng had no intention of being modest and added, “In fact, I’m also an outdoor fishing livestreamer on Lobster Platform, where I have over three million followers!”

I once led my team deep into the Amazon Rainforest to explore and fish in Palau.

The American journey was just a small part of my plan!

Right now, my live stream is also being broadcasted simultaneously, with at least fifty thousand people in China witnessing this victory!

Besides, I am the owner of Yuefeng Fishing Tackle Company and a guest video writer for Central Television!

My goal is to fish around the world before I turn thirty!”

A string of titles, honors, and experiences thrown out, after being translated by my translator, made these Americans realize that someone in their twenties with such accomplishments could take any one of them and be proud.

“Damn it, a resume that’s enough to make anyone insanely jealous!” the host’s eyes sparkled.

“If you think it, just do it.

Anyone can!”

“Do what you want, everyone can do it!”

It was just a spontaneous phrase from Yue Feng, but it somehow had an unknown effect.

After my translator rendered it, the host repeated it softly and then read it out loud in front of the microphone.

Strangely enough, the crowd seemed to go mad, touched by the English translation of this otherwise ordinary sentence in a Chinese context.

Many Americans recited it and felt it had a more explicit meaning than Nike’s “Just do it” commercial.

“That’s a great tagline, is it the brand spirit of your own company?” the host asked again.

Yue Feng was slightly startled and nodded, “Sort of!

I’ve always held myself to this philosophy!”

“Having won three major awards in your first fishing competition in the United States, what would you like to say to everyone?

I’m really looking forward to your acceptance speech!”

Yue Feng glanced at my translator and then nodded, saying, “In fact, I thought of participating in the competition in the United States after being invited by anglers from the forum, following a record catch recognized by the World Fishing Association!

I’ve visited many countries, but this is my first time in the beautiful state of Florida!

Since arriving, I’ve found that fishing is incredibly popular among Americans, and I’ve even seen outdoor fishing stores that rival Walmart in size!

Some may know that in my home country, with its huge population, the fishery resources are relatively poor.

For example, the kind of wild river fishing that everyone takes for granted is hard to come by with decent fish catches in many places back home!

I’ve issued a call to action in my own name and will take actions to change this situation!

In this respect, American legislation is more complete and has been better executed.

But, while there is the advanced side, there is also something that I find quite disagreeable.

For instance, in yesterday’s competition, I was subjected to a tactic known as the ‘wolf pack’ by three or four local competing anglers.

They followed my fishing boat like wolves, swarming over when they saw me stop and attempt to search for fishing spots, trying to get a share of the catch!

Through my captain friend, I found out that such tactics are allowed by the rules here in the United States!

But what surprised me even more came later.

After I hooked that huge Big Mouth Bass yesterday, these guys desperately closed in on my boat during the fish playing, shrinking my space and trying to force me into a mistake with their dangerous approach!

I don’t know if such behavior is against the rules, but I believe it goes against the most important aspect of outdoor fishing competitions: fairness!

In our country, such disruptive behavior in competitions would have resulted in being expelled from the venue and disqualified from the competition!”
