Chapter 845: Chapter 828: First Battle of the New Product

“Hahaha, it’s over, Wang Zhen, you’re next to the captain. I think we don’t need to compete; just clean the toilets directly! Do you know what the captain is good at in fishing? Shut Mouth! Hahahaha…” Zhao Zheng laughed uncontrollably, almost to the point of tears.

Heaven and hell are just a number apart. Wang Zhen, who was just showing off, instantly had his face fall.

“Captain, when we’re competing with fish, you can’t be counted. You’ve already become the Fishing King, and you still want to score with us?”

Yue Feng smiled, “In a team fish-off, of course it counts! I want to go easy, but they won’t agree!”

“Right, we don’t agree!”

“Hahaha, the captain is right! Make him Shut Mouth and stop him from showing off!” Xue Kai chimed in!

After some joking around, the rest of the drawing was quickly completed, and the pond owner reiterated the fishing ground rules before opening the doors to let the anglers in!

The anglers, with their long and short fishing rods, rushed into the fishing ground like a charge before a battle, found their spots, and eagerly got to work.

Having seen this scenario many times, Yue Feng showed no psychological turmoil. He sat down at his middle waist fishing spot, first looked around, then started preparing for the competition.

“Captain, jokes aside, you can’t throw sand into the eyes! Please go easy on the younger brother!”

As soon as Wang Zhen got to his seat, he started trying to endear himself to Yue Feng. Who knows when he bought it, but he took out a large bottle of iced red tea from his fishing box and handed it to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng had no intention of taking the rivalry seriously with his teammate and gladly accepted the drink, implicitly agreeing to go easy.

“I’ve asked about the fish situation. Your Uncle Zhang said they’d release fish here, so tonight it’s definitely going to be a spectacular catch. I’ll fish for just an hour, and after the bite stops, we can pack up and sell the fish together. You have 15 minutes to prepare; think about how you’re going to fish this round!”

Yue Feng was keen to observe Wang Zhen’s understanding of fishing. He took a big gulp of iced red tea and shared his insights on the fish situation and his fishing plan with the young man.

“Just one hour? Won’t all the fish be caught by then? What’s left for me to fish?” Wang Zhen scratched his head, a bit displeased.

Yue Feng filled the bait box with loose powder and said, “All the bait is the same; it’s just fresh fish, no complete dominance. You haven’t even started fishing and you’re already timid? With that mindset, how will you compete in matches later? Use the basic skills you practiced!”

“Alright, I’ll try!” Wang Zhen nodded, starting to prepare carefully.

At exactly six in the evening, the pond owner gave the signal, and the fishing officially began!

Yue Feng loaded two pieces of rubber pellet on his double hook and pinched two large triangular cannonballs on the hook shank, and immediately cast as soon as the competition started.

The fish information shared by Zhang Fenglin was absolutely correct. Less than a minute after the start of the fishing, some anglers were already catching fish.

Yue Feng then consecutively drew five rods of large loose powder to make a spot and started the regular pellet fishing with cannons.

The geographical advantage of the middle waist position was still significant. The first rod’s loose powder in the water caused slight movements on the float, and as the bait powder decreased, the first strike was quickly welcomed.

Using a 2.5g lead with a No. 3 carp float, tuned to 10 marks, fishing at three and a half marks, the first strike smoothly dipped two marks, crisp and neat. To an angler, this float phase was truly pleasing.

Yue Feng raised his rod to hook the fish. The 9h+ fishing rod required just a slight force from his arm to easily lift the fish out of the water. The roughly 2.3-pound carp arced through the air, landing accurately in Yue Feng’s net.

Yue Feng raised the net with his left hand smoothly. His left ankle hooked just in time to assist with force, the net head positioned directly on the mouth of the fish guard so Yue Feng didn’t need to grab the fish. He managed the line with his right hand, pressed at the hook shank with his left, and easily removed the hook.

He put bait on the double hooks and cast again. During the brief interval when the new fishing setup reached the water, he flicked the net head with his left hand, and the first fish was safely netted.

The entire procedure of landing the carp using the fly copy technique had no flaws from start to finish; it was a textbook-like standard. It ensured maximum efficiency while minimizing unnecessary exertion and reducing physical strain.

In comparison, Wang Zhen next door had a somewhat rough action with his fly copy.

When retrieving the fish, the angle of force on the fishing rod was a bit off, and after the fish broke the water, it flew towards the left side. Holding the fishing net pole with his left hand, he adjusted the position to catch it. He did catch it, but his movements were rather large, making it challenging to control with one hand. After finally stabilizing the net with his left leg, and completing subsequent tasks like removing the hook, he wasted an extra three or four seconds.

In terms of basic skills, Wang Zhen was no match for Yue Feng. However, Yue Feng’s reminder before fishing gave him the right approach. For fresh fast fish, a slightly slower action wasn’t catastrophic. As long as he kept up the bait amount and didn’t make fatal mistakes, he’d be fine!

Moreover, once Yue Feng started catching fish, he clearly left room for Wang Zhen. The loose powder was enough for use, without recklessly bombing the left and right sides to lure fish inflexibly.

From the beginning, Yue Feng’s rhythm was spot-on. If he felt the bite was a bit slow, he’d speed up, chasing a few rods in succession. If the bite was sufficient, he’d fish normally. Catching continued from the start to the end, never stopping, firmly pressing the fish at the spot. Almost every catch was hooked at the twelve o’clock position of the lower hook when the float settled within a second.

The prearranged hour passed, and the alarm on Yue Feng’s phone rang. He timely retrieved the double hooks and hung them on the bait-opening bowl’s thread magnet.

“You keep fishing, I’ll take a walk!” Yue Feng greeted Wang Zhen, and off he went wandering!

“Hey, sure!”

Fishing next to Yue Feng, Wang Zhen was extremely tense after starting, afraid his rhythm would slow and result in Shut Mouth. But after an hour, his catch was definitely a few fish fewer, but the actual gap wasn’t as big as he imagined.

Today’s Yellow Storm bait performed much better than the yellow powder distributed by the team before. Not to mention, in this fish density, just a few casts could raise the fish layer height, something the regular yellow powder struggled to achieve.

Though Yue Feng seemed to stroll off for a walk, he didn’t go far before returning halfway and quietly stood behind Wang Zhen.

Objectively speaking, Yue Feng was quite satisfied with Wang Zhen’s performance. He was systematic, knowing the core was in the bait amount. So, he didn’t skimp on baiting. After one hour, the three pounds of loose powder he’d prepared before the start had less than a pound left. In comparison, he used just a tad more than Yue Feng.

Yet, after watching for a while, Yue Feng frowned.
