Back to the Past to Become a Fishing King
Chapter 299 - 190: Dark Abyss Ultimate Technique_2
Seeing Zhang Yang with his left hand holding the line, gently pressing the hook on the thickened blocking needle, the number 5 new Kantou fishhook smoothly detached at the 12 o'clock position of the fish's mouth, and with a soft snap, the first fish of the rod landed cleanly into the fish basket.
Zhu Wentao, beside him, only saw a blur before his eyes. In less than ten seconds, a fish was smoothly secured into the basket by Zhang Yang, making his heart instantly uneasy.
This time, the speed of extracting the fish was just ridiculously fast!
What to do, what to do, what to do? Zhu Wentao became anxious at heart.
Whether catching fish or competing, the worst fear is the appearance of a psychological issue. Once anxious, attention decreases, and the rate of error increases.
The original situation was that the south bank was a two-to-one, and by holding steady, they wouldn't lose. However, Zhang Yang intentionally used psychological tactics to open a breach.
In a moment of confusion, Zhu Wentao's double-hook with dispersed bait landed a few centimeters lower than the normal rod height, and a carp fighting for food in the water seized the opportunity, delivering two heavy bites.
When Zhu Wentao noticed the fish had been hooked, his heart sank.
Oh no, they hooked up!
Catching carp is not the same as crucian carp, and double-hooking is most likely to cause problems, especially since Zhu Wentao's current strategy is to use the flying copy technique, which makes handling two fish at the same time a bit challenging.
What you fear is what comes. As Zhu Wentao tried to lift the fish out of the water, he underestimated the weight of the two fish, and neither of them was lifted out; both fell back into the water halfway.
The fish caught on the lower hook was already hooked shallowly, and with this toss, the fish shook itself free and escaped, leaving only one fish on the hook.
Forcibly controlling the rod, Zhu Wentao guided the fish into the fishnet. At this point, the standard action of the flying copy had completely distorted. From the fish's second plunge into the water to its retrieval, there was only a short distance, making the flying copy action look somewhat comical.
There was no time to worry about whether it was funny or not; getting the fish up was the priority.
Zhu Wentao placed his left hand on the net rod, pressing down, easily setting the net head on the fish basket's opening, unhooking, organizing the line, and easily completing the subsequent technical actions. A fish was also secured into the basket.
With his first rod finished, Zhu Wentao naturally fell into the rhythm of catching fish for his second rod, habitually pinching a ball of paste bait on the lower hook and attaching dispersed bait on the upper hook, beginning to catch fish!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang, who intentionally led the rhythm, noticed with the corner of his eye the small detail of Zhu Wentao baiting, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he grabbed a handful of line bombs and threw it back into the center of the nest.
This is where Zhang Yang's experience pays off. No matter how solid his technique and familiar his methods are, when it comes to the amount of bait thrown in the nest, he alone could not compete with the amount thrown by the two people on either side of him combined.
If Zhu Wentao could clearly realize this and work with his partner to firmly control the rhythm and completely suppress Zhang Yang, the final outcome would be hard to say.
But now, with a small strategy, Zhang Yang had misled Zhu Wentao's fishing rhythm, who started catching fish. The amount of bait thrown afterward would inevitably decrease, giving Zhang Yang the opportunity to turn the tide with a snowball effect.
Thus, over the next ten minutes, Zhu Wentao started catching fish early with the flying copy, while Zhang Yang, after landing just one fish, quickly returned to the rhythm of full-powered catapult bombing to attract fish.
Originally, Zhang Yang's small medicine had a very strong flavor from the start, naturally having a certain advantage. Coupled with the overwhelming bait volume, the fish density in the nest unconsciously showed a significant difference.
After more than twenty minutes of fishing, Zhu Wentao had already caught more than a dozen carps with the flying copy, while on Zhang Yang's side, the height of the fish layer underwater was extremely exaggerated, even with big carps diving from the surface, giving the feeling of large crucian carp boiling.
Seeing the timing was ripe, Zhang Yang decisively opened the tackle box, took out a ball of small yellow surface pull bait that he had prepared in advance, placed it on the bait tray, pressed the double hooks against the magnetic disc, scraped out two full bait balls, pinched a line bomb on the line, and went for it!
In terms of baiting speed, pulling bait absolutely trumps paste bait, even the paste bait god Teacher Cong Jie could not compete! Just like Flying Kicking overwhelming Flying Copy, this is a fishing method crushing, a dimensional reduction strike.
Pull bait is easy to hook, easy to take in, and the line bombs compensate for the lack of bait volume with the pulling bait. Zhang Yang's operation fully utilizes the advantages of different strategies to the extreme.
As the fishing setup entered the water, the bobber just flipped over when a strong bite appeared with a puff sound.
Zhang Yang lifted the rod to hook the fish, easily lifting the fish out of the water, holding the line with his left hand, controlling the fish above the fish basket opening. With a press and a push, with a plop, he successfully removed the fish again, catching the second one!
At this moment, even if the viewers were slow to react, they noticed Zhang Yang's Flying Kicking operation from the opposite side. Both the live streaming room and the viewers present went into an uproar!
[Oh my God? The angler in the middle opposite is catching big carp without a net? What kind of fishing method is this?]
[Uh, if I'm not mistaken, it's Teacher Zhang Yang, right? Social me Qiang brother, Teacher Zhang Yang, what kind of fishing method is this?]
[Goodness, Social me Yang brother chooses not to live stream his wild fishing adventures and instead guest-starring as a pit angler here?]
[Damn, who said the Flying Copy method was the most stylish? Compared to Teacher Zhang Yang's blocking needle fish hooking method, it seems a bit low!]
Han Qiang noticed the screen in the live room exploding and scratched his head a bit embarrassedly: "Uh, brothers, to be honest, we have been fishing with the captain for a few years now. From meeting at the big pit to now, it's the first time I've seen him fishing like this!
What kind of method this is, I can't say clearly!
After the competition ends, let's have him explain it to everyone! Don't go away, all right, those who haven't followed yet, make sure to follow first!"
Well then, although Han Qiang didn't say much, he managed to build up anticipation in a few words. After the competition ends, anyone interested in learning this mysterious fishing method won't leave midway!
As for the two people on the left and right of the south bank, after continuously seeing Zhang Yang catch several fish with Flying Kicking using the blocking needle, they were completely overwhelmed!
Using the Flying Copy method here to catch one fish takes at least fifteen to twenty seconds of reasonable operation time from hooking, even if everything goes smoothly, it takes twelve to thirteen seconds.
On the other hand, looking at Zhang Yang? From raising the rod to unloading the fish into the basket, it takes at most seven to eight seconds to complete the entire fish retrieval routine.
With each rod able to save nearly ten seconds, how does the frequency difference of nesting and casting compare?
This gap can't be quantified for now, but less than an hour into the fishing, the first bag of line bombs behind Zhang Yang had been completely emptied.
Each rod was casting bombs bigger than an egg, with an alarming actual nesting volume.
At this time, Zhu Wentao, who was full of confidence before fishing started, completely lost his composure. On his side, his teammate Wu Dong was tightly restrained by the two on the opposing bank and was struggling to defend, while on the south bank, alongside his brother, they were unable to gain any advantage over Zhang Yang.
It was at this time that Zhu Wentao and Liu Yingxiong made another mistake!
If they adjusted their competition rhythm at this moment, keeping up with the nesting volume, they could still catch fish later.
Although Zhang Yang could catch fish, he couldn't have gained too big an advantage. At least it would have been a balance after the settlement. After all, it was a four-hour fishing competition time.
But the brothers knew that the Flying Copy method's efficiency had been far left behind, yet did not realize the result of the long-term accumulation.
In the initial two hours, the three people on the south bank were in a continuous frenzy of catching fish, easily catching a hundred kilograms of fish in an hour.
The turning point began at around ten o'clock.
Zhu Wentao, who hadn't made a strategic adjustment, noticed his nest's fish bites were slowing down and gradually stopped.
On the other hand, observing Zhang Yang's side, the fish bites weren't slow at all. In fact, the fish bites were so exaggerated that one careless moment he even hooked a pair!
The hardness of the modified fire stick was absolutely solid. Even when dealing with two carp, Zhang Yang just took the opportunity to turn sideways and buffer behind him while catching the fish, holding both fish steadily with his left hand, swiftly removing the hook from the fish on the lower hook at the blocking needle, and then resolving the second fish on the upper hook, without wasting a few seconds, easily.
By the time it was ten thirty, Zhu Wentao, and Liu Yingxiong's nest, the fish had basically stopped biting.
And Zhang Yang was still catching continuously!
