Chapter 191: Qiantang Station (1)
As we all know, outdoor fishing requires a certain amount of luck in addition to technical factors, and luck is the factor that determines victory or defeat in the case of little difference in strength. Because the object of the competition is the fire fish, although the activity of the fish is regular, but it is not so absolute.
Experienced anglers will be able to find the areas where the fish like to move the most, but it is not that they will not be found in other areas. It is possible that in some places that are not frequented by largemouth bass, a giant largemouth bass will be hidden, and a lucky second-rate angler will be present here to determine the winner or loser. In general, though, experienced anglers find places where largemouth bass appear more often.
The Qiantang station is carried out in the reservoir, which is not a good thing for experienced anglers, because the water distribution in the reservoir area is too uniform, although there are certain options, but it is difficult to open the gap, so the next step is completely dependent on the fishing skills themselves, as well as the luck of the players.
The competition was held the next day.
At 5:30 a.m., the organizers arranged breakfast for the contestants.
At half past six, the opening ceremony was held, which lasted for half an hour.
The Group A match officially started at 7 o'clock. Ten o'clock to start counting the results, the contestants need to arrive at the rostrum within the specified time of the competition, the catch to the referee for scoring, if the specified time is exceeded, the total score will be deducted 0.1kg per minute, and if the meeting place is reached five minutes beyond the specified time, the results will be invalid.
At the beginning of the race, Jiangbian and [***] got on the fishing boat prepared by themselves. The rules allow participants to bring their own boats and propellers, but the length of the hull is less than 5 meters and the width of the boat is less than 2 meters. Can be equipped with front and rear thrusters, but only electric power thrusters smaller than 80 pounds can be used.
It is more reliable to use a self-prepared ship, because no one wants the ship to crash suddenly in the middle of the way, or the power is insufficient, resulting in a delay in the end. In addition, the ships prepared by themselves are also more familiar with the surname and are easier to control.
Interestingly, Egami and [***] are partnered with Taiwanese Zhang Yulin on the left hand, while Davis of the United States is officially partnered with him on the right hand.
Zhang Yulin's eyes were fixed on the American Davis, and in his eyes, perhaps only this American was his only opponent.
The American Davis, on the other hand, seems to be calmer, looking at the depths of the reservoir and seeming to be looking for the most suitable fishing spot.
"Xiao Jiang, is there any pressure?" Look at the riverside, look left, look right. Thought he was worried.
Ebebe smiled, "How many people are there in total?" ”
"Needless to count, it seems that a total of 160 people signed up for the competition. Naturally combined into 80 groups, so there are a total of 40 groups per game. [***] laughed.
All the chores for participating in the competition are done for [***], and Jiangbian doesn't even care how many contestants participate. That's why such a joke is made.
Zhang Yulin on the side heard the conversation between Jiangbian and [***], and when he looked over, he was a little surprised, Jiangbian and [***] were actually Jiangbian as the main anglers. And [***], who seems to be more experienced, actually acts as an assistant.
After a glance, Zhang Yulin didn't speak, and turned his head again. He had everything ready and waited for the referee to call the shots.
Soon, the time reached 7 o'clock, and the game started on time.
[***] was not in a hurry, and slowly started the fishing boat, trying to maintain the distance from the boats on both sides, and only increased the speed slightly when the distance between the boats gradually widened when it drove farther.
"Jiangbian, now you are the protagonist, you have the final say. Where do you say the ship is going now? [***] asked as he turned back to the river.
Looking around the riverside, he was not familiar with the terrain of this reservoir area, and he didn't know much about the surname of the largemouth perch, so naturally he couldn't see which places looked like the hiding place of the largemouth perch, so he casually pointed to a relatively empty water area and said, "Just over there!" ”
"Over there, over there!"
[***] looked at it, and felt that the one 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, this time period, fish prefer to go to the shallow water, near the shore to move, the river side of the selected area of the water is deep cyan, indicating this area, the water is relatively deep. However, since the riverside is the main one, it is natural to act according to the riverside's opinion.
The fishing skills of the riverside, [***] are a little incomprehensible, thinking that since the riverside chooses such an area, there must be his reason, but what he didn't expect is that the riverside is actually a finger at hand. He was a person who grew up by the river, so he naturally knew the surname of the fish, although he was very unfamiliar with this largemouth perch, but the surname of the fish was generally the same.
Riverside has the magical ability to see what is going on in the water even with a normal fishing rod. So for the location, the riverside doesn't care very much. As long as there are target fish in this reservoir, the riverside is confident that it can be easily found.
The boat came to a stop in the designated area, and the river began to set up the fishing rods.
In this game, Jiangbian is not the main character, or Jiangbian is not the object of attention of the organizing committee and the live broadcast TV station.
The Star City TV fishing channel broadcast the game live. They mainly pay attention to a few strong foreign players, as well as a few Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan players, and in China, they pay more attention to the players from Star City.
It is said that Davis came to Qiantang City a few days in advance, arrived at the competition area in advance, and the first thing he did was to inspect the water situation of the competition, and it took him a few days to know where the largemouth bass would hide. It seems that his luck is not good, though, as everyone seems to know that these places are hiding largemouth bass. There are many fishing boats moored around Davis. We can count. One, two oh my, there are ten racing boats. I can imagine Davis's expression at this point, he must be frowning. "Star City TV is known for its funny and chaotic strategies, so naturally it will not let go of an opportunity to ridicule Davis.
The director really cut the footage taken on Davis's ship, and Davis really looked around with a bitter face.
Although the competition stipulates that the distance between the fishing positions of the competitors must be greater than or equal to 10 meters, it is not allowed to throw beyond the range. However, a distance of 10 meters is not enough to ensure that the anglers do not interfere with each other.
With so many ships around, the disturbance will naturally be great. Although the largemouth bass under the water does not have a high IQ, they will still bite the hook stupidly when their companions are fished out of the water one by one. I don't feel the danger coming.
Davis's assistant shrugged at Davis, "Sir, I think we're going to have to change places." The place has been destroyed by them. I don't think these Chinese players are here to fish, but to chase stars. ”
Davis smiled helplessly, "Keep going!" Go straight to Target No. 2. ”
Davis put the rod away and continued on his way.
Davis gave up on the spot and kept going. We should bless him that his next target will not be crowded. Let's turn our attention to our Taiwanese compatriot Chang Yu-lin, who, like Davis, is a strong player. The director has successfully caught his first largemouth bass at Qiantang Station. This largemouth perch weighs 1.3 kilograms, which is neither big nor small, and Zhang Yulin has made a good start. I remember that last year, the largest largemouth bass caught by the contestants in Qiantang Station weighed 1.6 kilograms. It can be seen from here that Zhang Yulin's harvest this time is not small. However, it should be added that the largemouth bass has been stocked for another year since last year, and although some largemouth bass fry have been added after last year's qualifiers, this year's largemouth bass should be generally larger than last year. This largemouth bass is full of wild surnames, and when it comes out of the water, it struggles very hard. "Xingcheng TV's Wang Han's commentary is full of passion.
The expert who explained with Wang Han also showed off his knowledge, "Largemouth bass is the favorite freshwater fish of American anglers, it can survive in any environment, and it grows very big, and it has to struggle for a while after being hooked before it can be dragged up, so anglers also have a special sense of achievement." President George W. Bush said in an interview with reporters that the saddest moment of his more than five years as president was the 911 terrorist attacks, and the happiest moment was catching a seven-pound largemouth bass in his own lake. ”
Set up the fishing rod by the river, and there is no hurry at all. More than 20 minutes have passed, and the riverside has not yet opened its beard.
"Xiao Jiang, I don't think the location here is very suitable, why don't we try another place?" [***] finally couldn't help it, and suggested to the riverside.
Jiangbian shook his head, "Wait, I feel like the fish is about to take the bait!" ”
[***] shook his head, "That's good, according to you!" ”
[***] and the riverside are also considered comrades-in-arms who share life and death, and the hardships in the sea that day have changed [***]'s feelings about the riverside, and they are no longer ordinary friends. In the eyes of [***], Jiangbian has become a younger brother who has not yet grown up. Seeing Jiangbian with such a surname, [***] did not blame.
"Fishing, fishing, big fish don't take the bait, small fish don't mess around!" The riverside sang.
But he jerked the rod up with both hands.
[***] knew that the fish really took the bait. This "younger brother" really can't understand it, and this fish will be hooked when he says it. And what's even weirder is that the buoy doesn't seem to be moving at all. Know that [***] never left the buoy at all during the whole process.
How did the riverside know that a fish had been baited? [***] It's too late to think about this esoteric question. Because at this time, he was more interested in: what kind of fish was caught by the river?
Largemouth bass is the target fish, but there is more than one species in the reservoir. The chances of catching other fish are no less than those of a largemouth bass.
The technique of the river was very skillful, and the fish in the water seemed to be unable to make waves in his hands, and it didn't take long for the black back to be seen.
"Riverside. Be careful, this fish is not small, be careful not to damage the rod, you drag it over, and I will copy it out of the water directly with a net. [***] said.
Jiang Bian shook his head, and flicked the fishing rod lightly with both hands. A huge largemouth bass jumped out of the water, and the river directly copied it with one hand, directly grabbing the gills of the fish.
