Yu Qulong’s equipment was even more professional; ordinary anglers typically use telescopic rod holders with a rear attachment, but he used a small and exquisite competitive rod holder.
Competitive rod holders have only one section, which sticks up quite high; you simply prop the rod on it, and it would slowly slide into the water, leaving only the gourd-shaped holder visible.
When fishing, it is necessary to always keep the rod in hand.
Then look at the bait boxes; the difference was also clear.
Yue Feng used a standard bait box + full magnet lure tray that came with his fishing box, which was just ordinary merchandise worth a few dozen yuan on the market.
In contrast, Yu Qulong used a high-end bait box produced by Cangji, worth several hundred yuan.
Add to that the same brand’s double-hook upright strong magnetic line, which is another couple of hundred.
Just a small bait box alone was nearly worth the total value of Yue Feng’s entire fishing box.
Besides using more sophisticated equipment, Yu Qulong, who was rich in competition experience, also did very well in preparation.
He draped a towel over the fish guard on the left side, placed the handwashing basin to the left, and right behind him was a neatly tied sub-line box, with exquisite scissors fixed to a small device on the back side of the fishing box, readily accessible at a moment’s notice.
In comparison, Yue Feng’s side was much more casual; he still used the same set of equipment he had taken from the store, and things like the towel, basin, and line box were simply placed behind him at random, revealing at a glance who was more professional just by their setup.
After waiting for a while, at seven o’clock sharp in the morning, the pit boss Dong Xuelin greeted everyone, officially starting the competition!
Dozens of rods were raised at the same time, and then a large amount of bait was brought to the water’s surface, causing ripples to spread across the already not so large pond.
While other people began furiously filling their bait points with bait, some even using hand-thrown bait, Yue Feng and Yu Qulong did not do this.
Having experienced the previous fish battling session, Yue Feng realized that bait carried down with lead skin wasn’t very effective.
As long as he could maintain a fairly high casting frequency, “Loose Powder” was actually a better choice.
Moreover, with the limited amount of bait, using it for lead skin baiting seemed somewhat wasteful.
For the first cast of the competition, Yue Feng started fly kicking a 3.3-meter Lure with sleeve hooks, paying close attention with his eyes.
There clearly weren’t any fish around the bait point, and to win, he had to gather fish frantically.
Unlike Yue Feng, who started the competition by frantically casting to gather fish, Yu Qulong’s fishing habits leaned more toward competition.
For his first cast, he casually threw a couple of round and full red worms into the water, deciding to first test the fish bites around the bait point before proceeding.
Since there weren’t many fish at the bait point, the test did not yield positive feedback. freёweɓnovel.com
After waiting for a while with no action, Yu Qulong patiently changed bait, shifted the position slightly, and continued testing with the second cast.
By then, Yue Feng’s livestream room had gradually started to get visitors, and the number of viewers quickly surpassed 500.
“Is the host battling fish with someone again?
What’s with the ‘competitive master’ nonsense?”
“The host’s style seems a bit different from before today, focused on casting and baiting, not even talking!”
“Bro, have you noticed?
Yue Feng changed his rod!
The paint job looks nice, and the action seems like it’s for fast fishing with a stiff rod, does anyone know the brand?”
“A 3.3-meter rod, that length is usually for fly copying or fly kicking, right?
The host is playing high-end now?
He even knows these techniques!”
“I haven’t seen him use it during the livestream, and he caught so many fish last time at Black Pit using regular techniques without switching!”
The crowd in the livestream room was discussing profusely, but Yue Feng wasn’t looking at all, far too busy to interact with everyone at this critical moment.
With sleeve hooks and a large “Loose Powder,” one cast followed another, landing precisely at the front, quickly muddying the water at the bait point.
In about five minutes, Yue Feng had used up most of the “Loose Powder” from his bait box into the bait point, and only then did he somewhat relax.
“Hello everyone, this is Yue Feng’s Fishing Livestream Room.
I’m currently at Dong Family’s Black Pit fishing field, 200 tickets for 2000 jin of Crucian Carp are at the headwater.
We’re fishing for the big one!”
Today is still about catching fish mode, facing off against a local competitive master in person!
The part before starting fishing where I prepare the nest to lure the fish is quite important, so if I can’t see the public channel messages, guys, don’t pick on me!”
“Damn, the host finally spoke.
Everyone thought your equipment was having issues!”
“Can the host talk about today’s line and rod setup?
It looks like we haven’t seen this model before!”
“Got any bites?
You’re casting pretty quickly, but we haven’t seen you catch any fish!”
“I received the prize from last time’s lottery, and I specifically went to try it yesterday.
I successfully landed a fish, and the effects were good!”
Another flurry of messages flooded the screen, and Yue Feng glanced at it, picking a less sensitive question to respond to, “Today I’m using a size 1.5 main line, size 1.2 leader, and size 8 sleeve hooks!
The rod is 11 feet, Gale!”
“Damn, such a big setup?
Are you planning to fish for whales?”
“Size 1.2 leader?
Normally we only use up to size 1.0 for a big crucian carp!”
“The host is preparing for a strong Fly Kicking attack!
That’s not what the guy above said!
Didn’t you see how stiff the rod is, like a fire poker!”
Hearing Yue Feng discussing his line configuration in the livestream room, Yu Qulong had a look of disdain clearly showing on his face.
Without seeing anything else, just by the line setup, Yu Qulong could tell that it was amateurish.
In a small field like this, averaging dozens of pounds of fish, using the Fly Kicking method is akin to a mythical dragon slaying skill; as powerful as it is, where do you find a dragon to practice on?
It had been seven or eight minutes since the start of fishing, and the two targeting fish hadn’t even opened their rods yet.
The probability that the fish would be particularly irritable today was very low.
Using the Fly Kicking method was clearly not quite appropriate.
Yue Feng couldn’t see Yu Qulong’s expression, but he was still full of confidence because there had already been some activity at his feeding spot.
In a situation similar to the last, a crucian carp burst out from underwater, then plunged back down.
Although he hadn’t got a bite yet, Yue Feng already knew that fish were starting to enter his feeding spot.
Wanting to use the Fly Kicking method requires high demands on the fish’s behavior, so Yue Feng didn’t rush to adjust his Loose Powder and start fishing immediately, but maintained a relatively fast pace to continue throwing Loose Powder into the nest to lure fish.
Yue Feng had made up his mind: he would not start fishing hastily until he had gathered enough fish.
Compared to Yue Feng’s somewhat serious approach to fishing, Yu Qulong was much more flexible.
After testing the waters with a few casts at the beginning, Yu Qulong used Lead Skin to carry two balls of bait into the feeding spot.
It’s worth mentioning here that Yu Qulong’s fundamentals did indeed surpass that of ordinary anglers.
His skill with Lead Skin was second nature, almost magical; the bait balls landed in the middle of the feeding spot right over the surface of the water, creating almost no sound, and as they neared the bottom, he gently lifted the rod, and the line setup automatically detached from the bait.
After baiting the nest, Yu Qulong started casting Loose Powder one rod after another to prepare the nest and lure fish, all the while keeping an eye on any movement at the feeding spot.
About twenty or so casts later, Yu Qulong noticed fish entering his feeding spot,
so on the next cast, he used his Lure with Loose Powder on the top hook and only a clump of red worms on the bottom hook before casting it out.
