Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King-Chapter 634 - 369: Zhang Yang Gets Anxious

"Boss! Three crucian carps have landed! Shall we start with subject two?" Han Mocheng waved the third small crucian carp around, grinning.

Zhang Yang nodded: "No problem, let's start subject two!"

After finishing the three bottom-dwelling crucian carps, catching the mid-layer bream would be much easier.

After removing the hook and tossing the crucian carp into the fish keeper, Han Mocheng decisively took out scissors to switch to a number two sleeve hook and threw two small baits slightly larger than mung beans into the water.

When fishing for bream, the hook size and bait condition are very important.

Clearly, Han Mocheng was very experienced; he had already mentally prepared before the official competition and swiftly got everything ready, directly entering the battle state for subject two.

The previous continuous casting and preparation of the fishing spot had actually gathered the surrounding fish to a certain extent.

Except that the bream, favoring the slightly aromatic bait, weren't too keen on chasing it.

The amino acids and vitamins in the bait that stimulate feeding have actually created a certain diffusion effect around the fishing spot.

Now, with a pull of the more fishy bait and a relatively small hook, the second cast yielded a beautiful little bobber movement.

Raise the pole, hook the fish! One bream caught!

It's a male bream with a fiery sheen on its body, looking quite nice under the sunlight.

"One bream! Hurry up guys! If you're any slower, I'm going to finish the competition ahead of time!" Han Mocheng boasted, flaunting the line, and happily put the fish down.

On the other side, Liu Zi and Meng Fan have also caught fish one after another, three crucian carps completed slowly and started the subject two competition.

Only Xiaobao, due to sluggish adjustments, hadn't caught the target fish yet. However, following Zhang Yang's advice, he switched to mashed bait with a heavier sinker, at least stabilizing the fishing setup at the bottom.

As mentioned before, fishy bait can catch crucian carps if it can quickly bypass the mid-layer small fish, the effect is also good.

With the heavier sinker, the small fish in the mid-layer couldn't intercept, and soon there was a nibble action from the target crucian carp.

The previously steady and unmoving bobber slightly lifted, and Xiaobao aimed for the lifting bobber and raised the pole, catching a wild large crucian carp nearly four ounces.

"Wow! A big plate fish! This crucian carp must be six or seven ounces!" Xiaobao controlled the rod for a round, quickly bringing the fish to the surface, speaking excitedly.

Zhang Yang glanced over: "Don't be so smug, people are close to catching nine fish, and you've just started! You have no sense of urgency to catch up?"

Xiaobao scratched his head: "Hehe, no! It's just that I'm happy to catch a big crucian carp! I rarely fish in the wild, let alone catch a large plate crucian carp! This big plate fish, I'll take it back for Master Li at the canteen to make soup!"

"At most four ounces, hurry up! If you dawdle, you'll really bottom out! You may or may not get fish soup, but cleaning the toilet is definitely yours!"

"I forgot to mention earlier, the last place punishment is a month, the second-to-last is twenty days, different results, different punishments, must be distinguished!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yang distinguish the punishments for last and second-to-last place, Xiaobao suddenly got nervous.

Zhang Yang had long seen through his little mindset, knowing full well that it's hard to catch up, opting to just lay flat.

Anyway, whether second-to-last or last place, it'll be a month of toilet duty, no essential difference.

But now it's different, second-to-last is twenty days, last place a month, a ten-day difference.

"Heavenly spirits, earth spirits, give me a double catch! Damn it, Dragon King, bless me this time!"

Like a shaman, Xiaobao muttered under his breath and after changing to mashed bait, cast his setup out again.

Strangely, sometimes luck plays a big part in fishing, and Xiaobao's chanting seemed to actually have some effect.

This cast, only five seconds after it settled, the bobber had slight lifting movements; Xiaobao felt a bit unstable, so he hesitated when grabbing the bite.

Upon raising the pole again, he actually caught a double fish!

The task of three crucian carps for subject one was easily accomplished, giving Xiaobao some hope of catching up.

By then, Xiaobao's constant casting due to the disturbance of small fish in the fishing spot started showing its advantage.

He removed the extra lead and returned to the method of fishing with pulled bait, casting the rod into the water again.

As soon as the bobber turned over on the first cast, it instantly showed a belly-bobbing motion, ignoring the bite, and slowly descending a few measures.

Then, as it showed a nibble, raise the pole and hook the fish!

A bream hooked through the chin was lifted up.

"Hehehe! First fish of subject two! I've caught up too! Boss, how many has Han got now?" Xiaobao asked with high spirits.

"Two breams! Your one was hooked poorly, better adjust!" Zhang Yang took another look and reminded him again.

"Just one more! With good luck, it's a matter of one cast! Still got a chance!!"

Xiaobao tugged proudly and pulled another cast of baits, continuing to cast and fish.

Saying that, but with larger hooks and bigger bait balls, it's hard for the bream to nibble confidently.

Among the earlier caught breams, only one was hooked right; the problem is clear, but Xiaobao didn't mind.

The result being frequent nibbles, but Xiaobao repeatedly raised the rod, failing to catch a single bream in the end.
