And his Texas fishing rig is very expressively controlled, and I don't see any big movement on his arm, but the lure is like it is alive in the water, up and down, left and right, fast and slow, if you don't look at the fishing rod, Hong Tao will definitely think that there is a small fish there or a small group of fish are having fun.

The hard work paid off, and after searching about half of the waters, the old man also got the first effective fish on the third day of the competition, a large black perch, which was bigger than the one that Hong Tao fished, although the length was about the same, but the body was thick and wide, and it was obvious that the food here was good, and these fish had grown fat.

This water area is really the same as Dan said, there should be few people to patronize it, and Tibetan fish are relatively abundant. For the entire morning and two hours, Hong Tao and Dan did not leave this water, and circled around the underwater ruins. Hong Tao harvested 6 black bass, and he only left 2 over 4 pounds and 1 over 3 pounds.

Dan also caught 4 black bass, although the number was not as large as Hongtao, but there were 2 big ones with more than 4 pounds and 10 ounces, and the smallest one was 3 pounds and 9 ounces, and they were all kept in the live fish tank by the old man.

Today's lunch is still Hong Tao's kind of self-heating lobster rice, Erin was afraid that Hong Tao could not eat enough, so he specially brought him two boxes of lunch, so Hong Tao very enthusiastically invited Dan to eat together, Dan also brought lunch, which was a small piece of ham sandwich and an apple, very simple.

After lunch, Hong Tao could finally squint for a while, he repeatedly got rid of Dan and stopped driving the jet boat, then he put the seat down, stretched his legs and began to take a nap, Dan drove the speedboat and continued to his next fishing spot.

When Hong Tao woke up again. The fishing boats have stopped, and there is still a large area of water, which is not on all sides. Slightly different from the first fishing spot, a flake more than half a meter high appeared on the surface of the water not far away, and it was impossible to tell what it was, let alone what it was.

"Dan, what's that thing?" Hong Tao rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist, which was considered comfortable to sleep. He still had to satisfy his curiosity before picking up a fishing rod to fish.

"It was the blades of a propeller, and underneath was a helicopter. It is estimated that it has been more than 10 years, and when it rains, it can be more than 3 meters high, and when the water rises, it is invisible. "Dan was standing at the bow of the boat, searching to the left of that propeller.

"Is it military or civilian?" Hong Tao listened to the helicopter. Interest is here again.

"It's not clear. Don't get too close to the exposed object when you cast the rod, there are two paddles under the water, and if you get close, the line will become entangled. Dan didn't discuss this topic, he was much more serious about fishing than Hong Tao, almost except for eating and fishing, he didn't even sit down to smoke, and it is estimated that he could live for decades with this body.

Hong Tao saw that Dan had no interest in small talk. He also kept his mouth shut, since Dan was searching the left. Then it's fairer to simply search the right side yourself, one person on the side.

I don't know if it's because of the fishing spot or other reasons, but the rate of fishing on the waves today was very fast, and it didn't take long to catch 3 black bass. However, the rate increased, and the quality of the fish decreased again, and only one of the three fish barely weighed 4 pounds, and the other 2 were less than 2 pounds, which was the smallest largemouth bass that Hong Tao caught here.

Compared to Hong Tao, Dan was very slow to catch fish, and it was not until Hong Tao caught the fourth fish that he caught his first serious fish. But the old man's luck was overwhelmed today, it was a big black bass weighing more than 5 pounds, and even the old angler was a little nervous, and he laughed so hard that his big white beard couldn't stop shaking.

"Congratulations, Dan, with this fish, your hopes of advancing are much greater, and you may be able to win the first place in the amateur group." Hong Tao didn't have any feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, he had already planned today, he didn't have to play hard to fish, as long as the results were so-so, and when he was on the boat alone tomorrow, he would go and fight for a day in his own way to ensure his championship results.

"Actually, I've been watching you for a long time, and as soon as the results came out on the first day of play, I asked my grandson to show me the video of your game repeatedly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not used to seeing a foreign player do well in the U.S. like some people, and fishing doesn't have borders. I'm just curious, what kind of skills did you rely on to catch those big fish, I want to learn about it. Dan put the fish in the live fish compartment, then also put down the rod and sat down, took out a large pipe from a small leather bag that he carried with him, pressed it in, and smoked it with a click.

"Do you see that?" Hong Tao also put down the fishing rod, took out his cigarette roll and put it in his mouth, this is the domestic cloud cigarette he bought in New York's Chinatown, to say that in the city of New York, most of the daily necessities are very cheap, only the cigarettes made in China are a little expensive, and the brands are still very few, only in Chinatown can you find a little.

"No, your bait has been modified by yourself, I don't know what method you use, but the effect of the transformation is not very good, and the swing is too large, which will make the bass a little scared or hesitant. But the fact that the bass liked your lure so much that it bothered me for days, and I couldn't figure out why. Dan said as he scratched his big bald head with his hand, as if his head was still hurting a little.

"Then you can help me see, if you want to keep these small holes, is there a way to make it swing a little less and more naturally." Hong Tao handed the old man his bait and asked him for advice on how to transform the bait.

"Well, it's pretty much the same as I thought, you have big holes in the lure, this method was more popular when I was younger, but there was no such competition at that time, everyone went fishing in the river, if the water is fast, it will be better to use this bait, because it can bring air into the water, produce bubbles and sounds, so it is more like a small fish running away at high speed in the rapids. However, if it is used in such calm waters, it may not have that effect, but it will add to the snake, because the living environment of the fish here is different, and they are more afraid of bubbles. Dan took Hong Tao's bait and looked at it repeatedly, and weighed it with his hand before pointing to the small holes in the bait and expressing his opinion.

"Is there a way to improve that?" Hong Tao felt that the old man was quite reasonable, fishing must first understand the living habits of the fish in the waters where the angler is located, and this is common all over the world.

"It's easy, you don't have to drill vertically, you can change the angle so that the opening of these little holes is a little bit back, so that the drag in the water is less and the swing is more natural. But how much is the right amount of the specific part, you need to try it yourself, I can't say it. Dan came up with a solution, and it sounded simple.

"Okay, I'll try it when I get back, by the way, Dan, do you play sea fishing?" Hong Tao listened to the old man's suggestion, and admired the old man's fishing knowledge even more, he suddenly remembered another question, that is, whether he could use this kind of bait that he had transformed in sea fishing, and now freshwater fishing can no longer meet Hong Tao's preference for big fish, but the fish in sea fishing are much larger.

"I haven't gone fishing much in recent years, my home is not far from the Gulf of Mexico, my son often goes fishing, and I've been to the Caribbean and Hawaii, I'm old, and my body can't stand too much intensity." Dan stretched out his arm and gestured to Hong Tao, indicating that the muscles above had atrophied.

"And what do you think I can do with this modified lure for sea fishing?" Hong Tao didn't look at the soft flesh on the old man's arm, who is not like this when he is old.

"Hehehehe, the fish in the sea don't care about the swing amplitude, they are more daring, as long as they find out that you will chase and bite even if you tie a stone, you don't have to use this effort." Dan shook his head, not quite agreeing with Hong Tao's statement.

"Hehe, I think I've found a way, isn't it just sea fishing, I can cheat like Lao Tzu!" Hong Tao's thoughts at this time had already run elsewhere, and he muttered a sentence in Chinese in passing.

"What did you say?" Dan didn't hear what Hong Tao was saying.

"Oh, it's okay, thank you, you've taught me a lot of useful things." Only then did Hong Tao react.

"I should thank you, if you didn't let me choose the fishing spot freely, I wouldn't have so much gain, and when I get promoted to the professional player in the future, I will treat the amateur players in the same boat like this, you are a very honest and fair person, I hope you can win the championship." As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake Hong Tao's hand.

Not only do Americans not have many words to swear, but they also don't have many words to praise people, and if someone can say that you are an upright person, it is already a high evaluation. Dan's words made Hong Tao's cheeky face a little hot, things in the world are so strange, sometimes you try your best to do one thing well, but you can't get the affirmation of others. Sometimes you do something casually, and even use crooked ways, but the result is a round of applause, and you can't fucking do it!

On the afternoon of the third day, Dan and Hong Tao finally changed fishing spots, this time they were finally close to the shore, although there were no obstacles in the water, but there was no protective embankment on the river bank here, it was all loess, which had been eroded by the waves, and there was a forest on the bank, and the canopy of some trees had reached the surface of the river.

This environment is also a good fishing spot, as there is a lot of collapsed mud underwater, there are probably many holes, and there are also food such as leaves, flowers and seeds falling from the trees, which can attract many vegetarian fish to swim here. With a school of small fish, there must also be predatory fish, just like there is a herd of wildebeests, there is a lion there, and animals in nature are running after food. (To be continued......)
