CHAPTER 930: CHAPTER 913: FISHING CULTURE EXPORT

This time, the club league awards are arranged for the top ten, but only the top three receive trophies; the others receive certificates and varying amounts of prize money.

Soon, the hostess came on stage to get things started, and a few minutes later, the athletes’ march paused, and the anglers in the audience quieted down.

"Good afternoon to all the club teams and fishing friends from nearby cities. After three days of intense competition, the Club Alliance Cup East China Region’s contest has concluded. Now, on behalf of the organizing committee, I announce the awards ceremony officially begins!

First, let’s invite the clubs that ranked sixth to tenth to the stage! In order..."

A series of names flowed from the host’s mouth, all relatively well-known teams or brand clubs. Once called, their representatives quickly came on stage to receive their certificates and prize money.

Next, we have the fourth and fifth place slots.

From the top five onward, the award presentation gets slightly enhanced, with a single representative coming on stage to receive the award from a committee director.

Soon, it was time for the award presentation for the top three.

"Next, the highlight is here; let’s welcome the third-place team of the club league, the Tianyuan Youth Training Team representative to come on stage!"

The captain, Hu Changsheng, quickly strode onto the stage, and the hostess promptly handed him the microphone.

"Hello, Captain Hu. In the recently concluded first annual regional competition of the club league, our team achieved an excellent third place. Since we have this awarding opportunity, would you like to share something with the anglers and our organizing committee?"

Hu Changsheng smiled: "The club league has just started, and our understanding of the rules is rather superficial. There are also team coordination issues that need to be addressed when we go back, and we need to summarize our experiences and lessons learned!

Overall, the competition was quite successful. The fish situation was much better than traditional four-category events, and there was ample room to demonstrate fishing skills, techniques, and even team strategies!"

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to have such a high evaluation of our events!"

"Of course, as a professional competitive angler, I’ve been in the circle for nearly two decades, and currently, the domestic Taiwan fishing competitions are still in a phase of rapid development. I hope the industry will be even better in the future.

I also hope that the social status of fishing athletes will gain more recognition and look forward to the day this sport will appear on the world stage."

"Captain Hu’s words truly touch the heart of professional fishermen! Thank you for your speech!"

Soon, the trophy, certificates, and a large check model worth 30,000 were brought up together, and they had a photo session and warm handshakes!

Hostess: "Next is the runner-up team of this competition, who can be considered the host team for this region, the Hua Clan Fishing Club representative come on stage!"

In front of everyone’s eyes, the captain Han Luofeng walked gracefully onto the stage.

"Captain Han, earlier Captain Hu from Titan’s second team shared his award acceptance speech. Now that you’re here, what would you like to say?"

The hostess and Han Luofeng knew each other privately and had a little friendship, so she winked mischievously as she spoke.

Han Luofeng was accustomed to such award ceremonies and speeches, and he started: "In the past, I thought for a long time that my understanding of fishing techniques was already professional and profound,

but through this competition, I realized that there is still a lot of room for improvement for myself and my team,

The club league is like an examination; whether you studied hard or slacked off, you can’t deceive anyone when it’s time to perform!

With the competition’s motivation, I will lead the team members to solidify their foundation and strive for better performance in the finals!"

"Wow, Captain Han, you’re suddenly so humble today. You’re surprising me! Is it because you only won runner-up this time that you’re becoming so low-key?"

Han Luofeng shook his head, then nodded, saying: "In the past, even if I lost a competition, many times I was dissatisfied in my heart, often attributing it to luck. But in this competition, losing to the team led by Fishing King Yue Feng, I am thoroughly convinced!"

"This summary is quite profound! It also indirectly confirms the strong strength of our champion Yuefeng Fishing Club! Now, let’s invite all the team members of our champion Yuefeng Fishing Club to the stage!"

Upon hearing the host’s call, all the team members, who originally thought the captain would represent them on stage, were a bit unaccustomed, exchanged glances, and all eyes turned to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng smiled: "What are you looking at me for? Get on stage quickly!"

Soon, a group of young anglers followed Yue Feng onto the stage with big strides.

Seeing this group, with an average age of no more than 25, and especially the three rookies with still youthful faces, the audience below couldn’t help but chatter.

"Mr. Yue Feng, congratulations on leading your team to win the championship in this competition! I hadn’t noticed before, but I didn’t expect our team members to be so young!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Indeed, our team’s members, the oldest is 29, the youngest is 20, with an average age of no more than 25! Compared with anglers from other teams, we are relatively young!

The club’s establishment time is relatively short, and the members’ professional standards are still in the rising phase. Our win this time had quite a bit of luck!"

"Haha, fate is an excuse for the weak, luck is the modesty of the strong! I think attributing your achievements to luck is a bit too humble!"

"Do you have anything to say to your team members or the many anglers in the audience about this competition?"

Yue Feng hesitated slightly, organized his thoughts in a second, and then spoke: "Captain Hu and Little Han earlier summarized part of this competition. Overall, the competition format is quite reasonable, and everyone enjoyed the process!

Our team has been established for a short time, and the rookies had no previous competitive experience. Participating in such a level of competition with less than a year of training is somewhat hasty and exposed many shortcomings!

For these shortcomings, we will conduct corresponding summaries after we return, striving for a better performance in the finals!

As for the anglers in the audience, I want to say that the development of the industry is key to the elevation of anglers’ status! As an outdoor fishing sport with at least tens of millions of enthusiasts domestically, its future is very promising!

I hope that in the near future, the domestic fishing circle will develop like those abroad, with more professional events and more mature commercial operation models!

I previously saw a term on my phone, ’cultural export!’ I feel that our domestic Taiwan fishing technique has a certain level of advancement worldwide. In the future, we will strive for a cultural export in fishing, letting those Japanese and Americans see how we Chinese fish!"
