Chapter Seventy-Four: The Final

The day of the competition was a Friday, Yang Ke and Gao Fatzi took a day off, and then accompanied Hong Tao to the arena with Wang Jian. At this time, Hong Tao is no longer the fledgling mallet, he is the only one who can represent the Beijing Division to enter the finals, in the past few months, many anglers in the competitive fishing circle have also become Hong Tao's customers, although the bait they buy is still not as special as Hong Tao's bait, but for these professional and semi-professional anglers who have been trained for many years, even if it plays a little more role, it can also make their performance a significant increase. Therefore, Hong Tao's color scale special effect bait has gained a lot of popularity in the circle, and Hong Tao himself has become a legend in the Beijing fishing circle.

Hong Tao chatted with the familiar anglers who arrived in advance for a while, the draw ceremony began, this time there is no good fishing position and bad fishing position, there are only 4 anglers in the 32-in-16 competition pool, their fishing positions are only 3 meters apart, and the fishing positions will be rotated from left to right between the two halves.

Because it is to see who catches 10 fish first, it is more advantageous for Hong Tao, a player who attracts fish quickly and does not rely on bait, because in the case of competitors around him, the psychological quality will greatly affect the technical and tactical play of the angler, but it cannot affect the role of bait.

In fact, Hong Tao only took more than 4 minutes to catch 10 fish, including 3 times with two tails alone, and the other 3 anglers in the same group with him only caught 4 fish, the first half of the game was over, after a break of 5 minutes, Hong Tao, who rotated the fishing position, once again used 5 minutes to catch 10 fish, thus ending his group of games, and finally he and a Shandong angler entered the top 16, while the other 2 anglers lost very unwillingly, because their fish just entered the nest and were ready to harvest. As a result, the game is over.

After a break, the 32-in-16 games are all over, and it's time to enter the 1VS1 PK game, and Hong Tao is drawn together with a Sichuan angler, who is also relatively young, and is said to be a rising star in Sichuan in the past two years.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang, this should be the most accurate mood at the end of the game between the Sichuan rising star and Hong Tao, and the last game took about the same time, Hong Tao took less than 10 minutes in total to catch 10 fish twice, the second of which actually shaved the opponent's bald head, the young Sichuan angler due to excessive psychological pressure, the skills and movements were deformed, and actually let the hook hang on their own fish protection when returning to the rod, and it took a lot of time to pick the hook alone, and then replace the damaged strand line, and the game was over.

Successfully entered the top 8, Hong Tao's performance attracted the attention of all participating anglers, because he fished too fast, and the anglers in the same group with him basically did not have the opportunity to play, and they had lost the qualification to continue the competition. And his performance is unusually stable, the time of each game is about the same, at most it is one more double tail and less than a double tail time, all the players who play against Hong Tao are unconsciously a little nervous, because they know very well that if they can't catch 10 fish in about 5 minutes, it is equivalent to losing, and it is very helpless to participate in a game that must be lost.

As more and more people were eliminated, the game quickly entered a climax, and the two remaining players sat together in a very contrasting position. Whether it is in terms of age, appearance, figure, or experience, Hong Tao has little in common with the opponent in the finals, the other party is an old man in his 50s, it is said that he has won the national championship for 2 consecutive years, not to mention the old man himself, even his apprentices are famous anglers in the circle of competitive fishing.

In the face of such a respected old angler, Hong Tao is still the same half-dead look, neither nervous, nor excited, as soon as the competition starts, he will buckle the hat of the sunscreen suit to his head, keep his head down and stare at his own fish drift, he does not care about the progress of his opponent at all, and concentrates on catching his own fish.

The final was very dull, there was no excitement at all, and unlike the fierce competition in previous years with only 1 or 2 tails, Hong Tao still used 2 10 tails to win the final victory cleanly, which also made the anglers and people watching the competition very disappointed, so that when Hong Tao came to the stage to accept the award, there were people below who cheered.

"I know that there are a lot of anglers who are very unconvinced that I won the championship, and I admit that if I had used male bait, I would not have even been able to enter the semi-finals. Everyone is a professional level angler, I am far from everyone in terms of skills, today to be able to get this championship by luck, mainly by the advantage of bait, but don't worry, as long as it is a bait I will not participate, thank you. At the insistence of the host, Hong Tao had to say a few words, and he didn't say the set of words "thank you XXX", and directly said his thoughts.

Hong Tao's truth has won the support of many fishing friends, fishing fishing, the reason why it can be distinguished from fishing, the most important point is not what kind of fishing gear you use to achieve the goal, but what kind of way you use to catch the fish. In the eyes of these anglers, bait is the most critical and irreplaceable part of fishing, you can not use a fishing rod, you can also use a sewing needle and other materials to replace the hook and fishing line, but the bait is irreplaceable, whether it is with insects, grain or plastic, metal as bait, it is an indispensable part of fishing.

Some anglers are very disdainful of Hong Tao's way of using unique baits to get good results, while others are very supportive. Then it was very natural to divide into 2 factions, unconvinced by each other, blaming each other, but Hong Tao was reluctant to join in, and getting a good ranking through the competition was just an expedient measure for him, he still liked to fight wits and courage with those wild fish in the wild and the natural environment of the sea.

In the arena and some fishing friends took a group photo, chatted, Hong Tao and the four of them got on the car and slipped away, rather than staying here to talk about gossip, it is better to ask a few friends to eat and drink and chat, but this time the number of people is a bit much, in the first few days, Hong Tao promised some old customers in the color scale fishing tackle shop, if the final top three, it is to put a few tables to entertain.

For the sake of convenience, the place of the treat is placed in the barbecue season restaurant, there are really a lot of fishing friends who came, full of 3 big tables, even the old man Liu and the old man Fu also came, everyone first congratulated Hong Tao on the results, and then began to drink in a circle, even 2 tables have not been finished, Hong Tao has already begun to run to the bathroom, this liquor is in a hurry, there is only one way, use your fingers to clasp your throat and eyes, and spit out most of them, otherwise you have to call an ambulance if you drink it again.

A celebration banquet was lively, when most of the people were drinking and shaking, finally the end of the song was dispersed, Hong Tao and Wang Jian were dragged back to the fishing tackle shop by Yang Ke and the tall fat man, Hong Tao was a little better, and he could still know people, but his body was a little out of control, Wang Jian was the worst, in addition to humming twice from time to time, it was basically a paralyzed meat, put it on the sofa, and automatically slipped to the ground.

"Uncle...... Uncle ...... "Just as Gao Fatzi and Yang Ke were busy getting juice and milk for Hong Tao and Wang Jian to relieve their hangover, Gao Ming stood behind the counter and suddenly whispered, and glanced at the door.

"Oh, you...... Are you shopping for something or looking for someone? The tall fat man turned around and saw a young woman standing in front of the shop.

"I'm looking for Hong Tao about endorsement contracts." The woman at the door didn't wait for the tall fat man to react, she walked straight to the sofa and sat on the sofa with her ass.

"Yo, you're back? It just so happens that I want to discuss something with you. Hong Tao, who was half-leaning on the back of the sofa, heard the voice of a woman talking, opened one eye, saw the woman sitting opposite him, and sat up from the sofa suddenly.

"I just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and I heard Mr. Zhou say, are you in a hurry to find me something?" It was Zhou Xiaoli who came, she was wearing a linen-colored sleeveless jumpsuit and a pair of thin strap heels of the same color on her feet, which looked so out of place with the environment of this fishing tackle shop.
