Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King
Chapter 741 - 426: When the Dust Settles (Part 2)
The details of others going on stage to receive their awards are not expressed here. After showing themselves and taking photos, they step down, and soon it was time for the last champion, Zhang Yang.
"Now, let's welcome Master Zhang Yang, the champion of today's black pit big fish competition, on stage to receive his award!"
Upon hearing the host's invitation, Zhang Yang confidently walked onto the stage.
The familiar host sized up Zhang Yang: "Uh, same formula, same taste! Congratulations to you, Teacher Zhang Yang!"
Everyone laughed kindly when they saw Zhang Yang holding a package of fishing bait.
"Congratulations, thank you all for your support!" Zhang Yang thanked everyone repeatedly.
"You were the heaviest in total weight yesterday, and today again for the single heaviest fish. You make it look as easy as drinking water!" The host praised.
"Haha, pure luck! You're flattering me!"
"With that kind of talk, don't be shy. Wearing our team uniforms, four out of the top five ranking belong to us! Even if I believe it's luck, the anglers in the audience won't!"
Now that the competition is over, there's no need to keep secrets anymore. Share with the brothers your team's experience and insights on achieving such great results in the big fish single weight competition! Did you use any secret weapons? Share it with everyone!"
Zhang Yang was never one to keep things to himself. As a pioneer in exchanging fishing techniques and spreading the black pit fishing concept, just as the host said, the competition is over, and Zhang Yang's company also produces products, so sharing how he achieved those results is quite reasonable.
Given the setup, Zhang Yang didn't hide anymore and smiled: "Okay, since you've set the stage, I'll analyze the big fish situation at Jinghai Garden, and shamelessly plug a commercial at the same time!"
With that, the audience laughed kindly once more.
Once the laughter subsided a bit, Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said: "Before providing the final result, let's first discuss the fish situation at Jinghai Garden. Any fishing tactics must align with the fish situation; otherwise, it's just messing around!"
Brothers familiar with our fishing ground know that the most famous thing about Jinghai Garden Fishing Ground is the density of fish, the large water surface, and the abundance of fish, allowing hand-thrown bait spots. The water quality is stabilized by Brother Ma!
With high fish density and fast turnover speed, fish cast into the water may be caught that day, but this doesn't prevent some clever big fish from escaping anglers' hooks and living in the pit long-term!
There's bait thrown into the pit daily, so there's surely no shortage of food. But what to eat to ensure not being caught?
I think it's the leftover bait residue that is slightly fermented outside the bait spot! These are everywhere, risk-free, and can provide enough food security for the big fish.
Alright, continuing with this thought, the fishing strategy for big fish in the pit emerges.
The bait I used today was a lightly flavored Yellow Storm, with the main flavor as the original taste, a small amount of sweet potato, and fruit flavor, ensuring the bait's scent wasn't too strong to scare off sensitive and clever big fish, while still maintaining good attraction.
On this bait foundation, I added a very crucial, core ingredient that big fish love! Our company's honor product, Old Jar Corn for lake reservoir fish bait.
My personal method is to moderately crush fermented Old Jar Corn with steel mill, then mix it into the Yellow Storm formula bait, giving the bait the rich natural fermented flavor of Old Jar Corn.
At this point, I added a little of our Musk Herbal Wine as a garnish to the bait, to simulate the lightly fermented natural alcohol flavor generated underwater, thus a bait specifically targeting large fish is prepared!
The bait used by our participating anglers was all prepared by me in a single basin. It proved that my strategy was sound and yielded excellent results overall!
Of course, fishing for large fish, luck, and the position of the fishing spot are often very crucial. Although I am a bait manufacturer, I won't excessively boast about any Divine Bait Medicine!
Anglers who want to fish well must have a sufficient understanding to reasonably adapt to different fish situations instead of blindly copying and rigidly applying techniques!
That's all for my sharing for now, thank you all for your support, thank you!"
A very down-to-earth analysis of fish situations and bait strategy sharing immediately turned many anglers indifferent to Zhang Yang into fans.
"Well said!"
"Teacher Zhang Yang is amazing!"
Several bold audience members shouted praises from the audience, and the applause grew louder.
Amid the cheers and applause, Brother Ma came on stage again, received the oversized check model brought by the etiquette lady, and completed the award ceremony for the champion ten-thousand-dollar prize.
Zhang Yang looked at Brother Ma's slightly bloodshot eyes without speaking, nodded at him, and the two grasped hands firmly, completing the award handover, then they went down separately. This competition's award ceremony was thus completed.
When the host announced the conclusion of the award ceremony and the successful end of the competition, the crowd below dispersed like receding tidewater, and Zhang Yang returned to the team.
"Let's not just stand around! Brother Yan, gather your friends, tonight we'll set a few tables for a celebration feast and have a good time! You handle the arrangements first, I'll go chat with Brother Ma! He showed us face, we can't just play dumb!"
Wang Yan nodded: "Alright, we'll handle this, you take care of your things first!"
After a brief greeting, Zhang Yang temporarily separated from the team and headed straight for Brother Ma and Lady Beautiful's office.
Don't be fooled by Brother Ma's strong and responsible performance on stage; privately, the issue with YOYO's fish still infuriates Brother Ma and his wife.
After all, a perfectly good rule had to make an exception due to a controversial behavior by a female angler, affecting the authority of the fishing ground to some extent.
"Brother Ma, Sister-in-law! Are you still upset?" Zhang Yang said as he opened the door, smiling.
"Zhang Yang, come in!" Lady Beautiful greeted Zhang Yang, signaling for him to sit inside. The prefab room was quite simple, with a folding table and seven or eight stools, looking quite modest.
"Regarding the YOYO competition matter, I know it was difficult for Brother Ma! I'm not one to be ungrateful; Brother Ma is willing to support me, and I'm willing to show my sincerity!"
"I came over not only to express formal gratitude but also to discuss the sponsorship for upcoming competitions with you!" Zhang Yang said earnestly.
"One thing at a time! Liu Feng refused to cooperate, no matter how I tried to negotiate with him, he simply wouldn't budge. So, don't blame me, Brother Ma, for not being lenient!" Brother Ma heard Zhang Yang's sincere gratitude and noticeably eased his attitude.
"Alright, that's in the past. I'm grateful for your help. Let's discuss the sponsorship for upcoming competitions! Where's Wang Defa? After today's competition, I haven't seen him!"
"Wang Defa? That guy's brain is as big as a pinhead! Felt embarrassed seeing your good results, didn't say a word, and left early!" Brother Ma gestured with a thumb pressing the index finger's tip, indicating slight dissatisfaction as he spoke.
"You don't have any long-term sponsorship agreements with him, do you?" Zhang Yang asked.
Brother Ma shook his head: "No, after this sponsorship is done, I reckon he won't come to host any more competitions! His yellow-faced bait works roughly for throwing bait spots, but truly, in terms of actual effectiveness, it's slightly inferior to your bait! Why ask, are you planning on long-term sponsorship?"
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes! Our fishing ground is top-level nationwide, rather than advertising on TV, why not invest here instead? I'll draft a proposal at the company, initially testing the waters with a million budget!"
