As we all know, in addition to technical factors, outdoor fishing also requires a certain amount of luck. When there is not much difference in strength, luck is the factor that determines the outcome. Because the object of the competition is fish born in fire, although the activities of fish are regular, they are not so absolute.
Experienced fishermen can find the areas where fish like to move most, but it does not mean that they cannot be found in other areas. It's possible that a giant largemouth bass will be hidden in some places where largemouth bass don't frequent it, and a lucky second-rate angler will just appear here and win or lose with one shot. In general, though, largemouth bass are found more frequently in spots found by experienced anglers.
Qiantang Station is conducted in the reservoir, which is not a good thing for experienced fishermen, because the distribution of water bodies in the reservoir area is too uniform. Although there are certain choices, it is difficult to widen the gap. So next, It all depends on the fishing technique itself and the luck of the player.
The competition is held the next day.
The organizer arranges breakfast for the players at 5:30 in the morning.
At 6:30, the opening ceremony was held, which lasted for half an hour.
The Group A match officially starts at 7 o'clock. Score statistics will begin at ten o'clock. Players must arrive at the rostrum within the specified time and hand over the fish to the referee for scoring. If the time is exceeded, 0.1kg will be deducted from the total score per minute. If the player arrives at the meeting place five minutes beyond the specified time, the score will be deducted. The score is invalid.
When the competition started, Jiangbian and Wang Lijun got on the fishing boat they prepared themselves. The rules allow competitors to bring their own boats and propellers, but the hull length is limited to less than five meters and the width is less than two meters. Can be equipped with front and rear thrusters, but only one electric powered thruster less than 80 pounds.
Using self-prepared ships has more reliable performance, because no one wants the ship to suddenly crash midway after sailing, or to have insufficient power, resulting in final delays. In addition, the boats prepared by oneself are better understood in terms of performance and easier to control.
What¡¯s very interesting is that the left hand of Jiang Bian and Wang Lijun is Taiwanese player Zhang Yulin and his partner, while the right hand is the American player Davis and his partner.
Zhang Yulin stared at the American Davis. In his eyes, perhaps this American was his only opponent.
¡°Davis, an American, seemed to be relatively calm, looking into the depths of the reservoir, seemingly looking for the most suitable fishing spot.
"Xiao Jiang, are you feeling stressed?" Wang Lijun looked left and right at the riverside. Thought he was worried.
Jiang Bian smiled and said, "I'm counting how many people are participating in the competition?"
¡°Without counting, it seems that a total of 160 people signed up to participate in the competition. They were naturally divided into 80 groups, so there are a total of 40 groups in each game.¡± Wang Lijun laughed.
Wang Lijun did all the chores for participating in the competition. Jiangbian didn't even care how many contestants participated. That's why such a joke happened.
Zhang Yulin on the side heard the conversation between Jiang Bian and Wang Lijun, and looked over. He was a little surprised. Jiang Bian and Wang Lijun were actually the main fishermen of Jiang Bian. And Wang Lijun, who seemed to have more experience, actually acted as an assistant.
After taking a look, Zhang Yulin turned around without saying a word. He had everything ready and was just waiting for the referee to give the order.
Soon, the time reached 7 o'clock, and the game started on time.
Wang Lijun was not in a hurry, and started to move the fishing boat slowly, trying to keep the distance from the boats on both sides. When it was farther away and the distance between the boats gradually widened, Wang Lijun increased the speed slightly.
"Jiangbian, you are the protagonist now, and you have the final say in everything. Where do you want the boat to go now?" Wang Lijun turned back to Jiangbian and asked.
Jiangbian looked around. He was not familiar with the terrain of the reservoir area, and he was even less familiar with the habits of largemouth bass. Naturally, he couldn't see any places that looked like hiding places for largemouth bass. He pointed to a place with his finger. He said to the relatively empty body of water, ¡°Just over there!¡±
"That's right over there!"
Wang Lijun took a look and felt that the place over there was not very good, so not many people went there. Seven o'clock in the morning is the most active time for fish activities. During this time, fish prefer to move in shallow water areas and near the shore. The water in the area chosen by the river is deep blue, indicating that the water in this area is relatively dense. deep. However, since Jiangbian is the main focus, it is natural to act according to Jiangbian's opinions.
Wang Lijun was a little confused about the fishing techniques on the riverside. He thought that there must be a reason for choosing such an area by the riverside. But what he didn't expect was that the riverside area was actually just a finger. He grew up by the river, so he naturally knows the habits of fish. Although this largemouth bass is unfamiliar to him,But the habits of fish are generally the same.
The riverside has the magical ability to see what¡¯s going on in the water even with an ordinary fishing rod. So Jiangbian doesn't really care about the location. As long as there is a target fish in the reservoir, the riverside is confident that it can be found easily.
The boat drove to the designated area and stopped, and the fishing rods began to be set up on the riverside.
In this game, Jiangbian is not the main character, or Jiangbian is not the focus of the organizing committee and the live TV station.
Star City TV Fishing Channel broadcast this game live. They mainly pay attention to a few strong foreign players, as well as a few players from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. For domestic players, they pay more attention to players from Star City.
"Davis has arrived at the ideal position he selected in advance. It is said that Davis came to Qiantang City a few days in advance and arrived at the competition area in advance. The first thing he did was to inspect the water conditions of the competition on the spot, which took several days. , Davis seems to have known where those largemouth bass will hide. But it seems that he is not very lucky, because everyone seems to know that these places are hiding largemouth bass. There are many fishing boats anchored around Davis . We can count. One, two Oh my god, there are ten racing boats. I can imagine Davis's expression at this time, he must be frowning." Star City TV Known for his funny and random tactics, he naturally would not miss an opportunity to make fun of Davis.
As expected, the director cut the footage shot on Davis¡¯ boat, and Davis looked around with a grimace.
Although the competition stipulates that the distance between fishing boats must be greater than or equal to 10 meters, casting beyond the range is not allowed. However, a distance of 10 meters is not enough to ensure that fishermen do not interfere with each other.
With so many ships around, the interference will naturally be great. Although the largemouth bass underwater are not very intelligent, they will still bite the hook foolishly when their companions are fished out of the water one by one. I still can't feel the danger coming.
Davis's assistant shrugged to Davis, "Sir, I think we have to move to another place. This place has been destroyed by them. I think these Chinese players are not here to fish, but to chase stars."
Davis smiled helplessly, "Keep going! Go directly to target number two."
Davis put away the fishing rod and continued to move forward.
"Davis indeed gave up on this place and continued to drive forward. We should wish him well that his next target will not be overcrowded. Let us turn our attention to our Taiwanese compatriot Zhang Yulin, who, like Davis, , is also a strong player. The director has successfully caught him the first largemouth bass in Qiantang Station. This largemouth bass weighs 1.3 kilograms, not too big or too small. Zhang Yulin got a good start. I remember the players in Qiantang Station last year The largest largemouth bass caught weighed 1.6 kilograms. It can be seen from this that Zhang Yulin¡¯s harvest this time is not small. However, it should be added that it has been one more year since the largemouth bass was released than last year. Although After last year's qualifiers, some largemouth bass fry were added, but this year's largemouth bass should be generally larger than last year. This largemouth bass is very wild and struggles very hard when it comes out of the water. ." Wang Han's commentary from Star City TV was full of passion.
The expert who explained with Wang Han also showed off his knowledge, "Largemouth bass is a favorite freshwater fish among American fishermen. It can survive in any environment, and it can grow very big. It still has to struggle after being hooked. It takes a while to be dragged up, so the fishermen also have a special sense of accomplishment. President George W. Bush said in an interview with reporters that the saddest moment during his more than five years as president was the 911 terrorist attacks, and the happiest moment Just caught a 7-pound largemouth bass on his own lake."
I set up my fishing rods by the river, not in a hurry. More than twenty minutes have passed, and there is still no wildfire on the riverside.
"Xiao Jiang, I think the location here is not very suitable. How about we try another place?" Wang Lijun finally couldn't help it and suggested to Jiang Bian.
Jiangbian shook his head, "Wait a minute, I feel the fish is about to take the bait!"
Wang Lijun shook his head, "Okay, it's up to you!"
Wang Lijun and Jiang Bian can be regarded as comrades who share life and death. Sharing hardships in the sea that day changed Wang Lijun's feelings towards Jiang Bian, and they were no longer ordinary friends. In Wang Lijun's eyes, Jiang Bian has become a younger brother who has not yet grown up. Seeing Jiang Bian being so willful, Wang Lijun didn't blame him.
"Fishing, fishing, big fish won't take the bait, small fish don't mess around!" sang the riverside.
With both hands, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod upwards.
Wang Lijun knew that the fish had really taken the bait. This "younger brother" really couldn't understand. The fish took the bait right away. And what's even weirder is that the buoy doesn't seem to be moving at all. You must know that during the whole process, Wang Lijun¡¯s eyes were completely??Has not left the buoy.
How does the riverside know that a fish has taken the bait? Wang Lijun had no time to think about this profound question. Because at this time he was more interested in: What kind of fish was caught on the river?
The competition targets largemouth bass, but there is more than just largemouth bass in this reservoir. The probability of catching other fish is no lower than that of largemouth bass.
The man on the riverside was very skilled, and the fish in the water seemed to be unable to make waves in his hands. It didn¡¯t take long for him to see its black back.
"Beside the river. Be careful. This fish is quite big. Be careful not to damage the fishing rod. You drag it over and I will use a net to lift it directly out of the water." Wang Lijun said.
Jiangbian shook his head and flicked the fishing rod lightly with both hands. A huge largemouth bass jumped out of the water. The riverside grabbed it with one hand and grabbed the fish's gills.
