Chapter 628: Gambling Debts

Around 3 p.m., Hong Tao still didn't catch a large perch, but just raised the two fish in the live fish tank, which were just enough to weigh 3 pounds, up a little. Seeing that it was almost time for the end of the competition, Hong Tao decided to give it another try, he drove the fishing boat to the middle of the ruins, and then threw it into the water next to the ruins, landing at a distance of about 6 or 7 meters from the ruins, and let the lure sink enough for a while before heading to the recovery line.

This fishing method is also borrowed from Hong Tao from the long-cast rod fixed-point fishing, in the past plus the previous life of countless resident fishing, Hong Tao found a very interesting thing. If you throw bait into the nest or walk around the nest, you will often catch small fish. However, there are a few times when the wind blows the rod and the bait is blown far away from the nest, such as a few meters or ten meters away, but once a fish bites, it is often a big fish.

Although Hong Tao has not yet summed up a detailed rule, since he came to this conclusion, every time he goes out to fish at a fixed point, he will throw 2 or 3 fishing baits around the nest, so he can often get unexpected surprises. Others think he has some fishing tricks or secrets, but in fact he doesn't have any secrets, just throwing the bait a little crookedly.

Of course, this method does not always work, if there are no fish in the nest, or if the nest is not near the fish passage, then it should not be caught or not caught. But Hong Tao thinks that fish like the big ones should be alert, which is why they can survive in these waters for longer. Sometimes these big fish would rather not eat when they are hungry than touch food that they are not 100% sure is safe. Therefore, if you want to catch a big fish, you must not only rely on luck, but also on skill. It also depends on pondering, and often a small unexpected change can achieve great gains.

Hong Tao's theory has once again been proven in the United States. After he turned around and threw 4 or 5 rods in a circle, he felt the calm and powerful bite from the fishing line again, and while lifting the rod to stab the fish, he was sure that the big fish was coming!

This is a small-mouthed bass. In the style of the fish in the ruins of the waters, they are all short and thick, although they do not seem to show their faces. But the thickness and width of the body are very powerful, and after weighing, it is close to the 7-pound number, which makes Hong Tao completely put his heart in his stomach. The championship is ours!

In fact, Hong Tao can still fish here for a short while. However, the speed of his boat seriously affected his effective fishing time, yesterday Dan drove a 1-hour journey, Hong Tao came when he calculated, he himself drove for almost 2 hours, in order to avoid being late to go back, he had to start running back more than half an hour in advance.

There is a clear difference between the ready-made press conference on the last day and the first three days, first of all, there are more spectators, and you have to buy tickets to enter. The second is that the specifications of lighting, sound, and camera are higher. As with a big concert, there was a large row of OB trucks parked alone. Roughly counting, there are no less than 10 TV stations that have come to broadcast the game. Finally, the rules of weighing have changed, and on the last day, the referee no longer weighs the fish on each contestant's speedboat, but the fish in the live fish tank are transferred to a row of large fish tanks in the backstage under the supervision of the referee and the contestants.

These fish tanks have live water pumps, which directly pump the water in the lake to prevent the fish from dying because they are not adaptable, in addition to a series of equipment such as oxygenation and constant temperature, in short, it is one, to ensure that the catch of the player can not die!

At the time of formal weighing, according to the ranking of the results of the first three days, starting from the 10th place, each participating angler carried his catch with a large waterproof bag, and then went to the stage one by one to weigh the scene in front of the audience and the host, and calculated the competition results at the same time. At the same time, the host will also ask you some questions related to the competition to liven up the atmosphere.

Hong Tao was the last to take the stage because he was ranked first in the first three days of the competition. When Paul came to the stage and began to weigh him, Hong Tao deliberately ran to the entrance of the stage to secretly observe his catch. When Paul took out his fourth fish, Hong Tao was 100% down-to-earth, it was only a 4-pound fish, and the last fish was 10 pounds, but it couldn't surpass his score.

Paul's final day of fishing wasn't great, and by the time he weighed in, he had dropped to third place, with another angler from New York State slightly 4 ounces taller than him.

When Hong Tao walked up to the stage with his catch, the anglers and the audience in the audience let out a burst of amazement, because the bag in Hong Tao's hand is translucent, although it is impossible to see how big the fish inside is, but just from the external shape, everyone knows who the winner of this competition is.

"Mr. Hong, in fact, as far as I am concerned, I really don't want you to win the championship, just now I have been secretly praying at the dock that you will be late, but from the voice of the audience, it is not difficult for me to draw a conclusion, your catch today is very rich, although you are very young, but I have to say, you are a real fishing master. Okay, let's show us what you caught today. The host, Cole, said what was on his mind, and he was now facing the same problem as Paul, which was to pay Hong Tao a speedboat.

Although he was depressed, Cole was very professional, and whenever Hong Tao brought out a fish and threw it into a transparent fish tank on the stage, he would read out loud the readings displayed on the monitor, and then the audience was cheering. This fish tank is very scientific and professional, it contains a lot of water, and there is a one-way inward lid on it, when the fish is put in, the lid can block the splashing water when the fish is splashed, and at the same time, the electronic weigher below directly displays the weight of the fish, and at the same time the weight of the fish tank and the water is removed.

When Hong Tao brought out the last and biggest fish, the audience exclaimed and lamented that the 6-pound 14-ounce smallmouth bass was not the biggest fish Hong Tao caught, but it was still the largest bass on the fourth day of the competition.

In the end, Hong Tao won the FLW Lake Okeechobee race with a time of 9 pounds and 1 ounce ahead of the second-place finisher. He also earned $125,000 in prize money for the race winner, and he also broke a record in FLW's history of being the first player to be weighed in all four days and be a wildcard.

The American habit is similar to that of the Chinese, that is, winning the treat, and that night Hong Tao feasted Paul, Carl, Cole, and Mota III and II from Texas in the hotel restaurant. This coke broke the restaurant manager, he waved his pen, Hong Tao's meal was his again, but he was not idle, and Paul had a photo with Cole, his meals were really worth it, not only had a champion, but also brought the host and the third place.

"My fishing boat doesn't belong to me anymore, but I can pull it back for you for free, where are you going to put it?" I think if you rent a pier in New York, you might as well go to Long Island or Jersey City, which are a little farther away, but the rent is much cheaper. As soon as Paul wiped his mouth clean, he put the two keys in front of Hong Tao, and gave Hong Tao a pertinent suggestion by the way.

"I don't have a fishing boat now, you can choose to ask for a check directly, or I'll order it, and it will be delivered in half a month at the earliest, I hate you, Paul!" After listening to Paul's words, Cole didn't even want to drink the California wine sent by the restaurant manager, and began to pay Hong Tao gambling debts.

"Oh my God, you won two fishing boats at once! You always have such good luck! Regardless of whether Paul and Cole were happy or not, Motta III began to congratulate Hong Tao on another income.

"Paul, Mr. Cole, since it's a bet, I'll have to accept it, but we can do it another way, I'm going to ...... Forget it, let Erin talk to you privately. Hong Tao originally wanted to explain this issue to Paul and Cole privately when no one was around, but since they had already raised it, they could only explain it in advance.

"Okay, let's talk to my room later." Paul thought it was about formalities such as transfers, and he didn't dwell too much on it.

"I heard that Paul owes you a trip to the world, have you figured out where to go?" Cole really can't open any pot, I guess he thinks that finding someone who loses worse than himself is also a kind of compensation.

"I really haven't thought about this yet, anyway, it's not in a hurry, let's think about it slowly." Hong Tao didn't plan to stimulate Paul anymore, and when the fishing boat was finished, it would be more appropriate to go on a tour.

"That's not going to happen, that's the end of the bet, and if you can't figure it out, then I'm not going to break the contract, right, Cole?" Paul, who didn't know how to write dead words, didn't appreciate Hong Tao's affection, so he forced Hong Tao to make a decision immediately.

"That's right, as soon as the game is over, the bet will be over, which is fair." Cole, apparently on Paul's side, hurried out to testify.

"Alright then, I'll invite everyone to the bar for a drink, and we'll talk while we drink." Hong Tao listened, hey! It's really hard to be a good person, since you don't have a face to wear, then let's decide.

"Don't get used to that Cole, go straight to the knife, ask for cash, and get a discount, I think he's tired of it!" When he walked out of the restaurant, Hong Tao deliberately walked behind with Erin and quietly discussed a few words with Erin.

"No problem, I'll give him the price of Paul's boat, you've finally figured it out?" Erin smiled like a little fox and quietly extended a thumbs up to Hong Tao.

"I don't know him, he wants to take advantage of me, and he deserves to be unlucky!" Hong Tao thought that there were more than 100,000 US dollars in the account, and the friendship had already been thrown aside, and he didn't have a friendship with that Cole, and he still used his bait to check it, there was nothing to hurt.
