Chapter 616: Chinese Boy

It's a pity that his laughter just now was too harsh, he threw several rods in a row, and there was no movement at all, Hong Tao looked at his watch, it was already half past 12 o'clock, and there were still 4 and a half hours before the end of the game, if you count the time of the return trip, there were only more than 3 hours left, and you had to hurry.

Since there are no fish biting the hook here, it is better to change the land, since the purpose of lure fishing is to find fish, then you might as well look for it, maybe there will be a surprise. After making up his mind, Hong Tao put away the front drive, started the main engine, and drove the speedboat to make a 180-degree U-turn in the lake fork, and drove south along the lake shore at high speed with the splash in the stern and the cheers of Irene.

After running for more than 20 minutes, Hong Tao finally found a suitable punctuation point, this is not a lake fork, but another submerged forest, which stretches far along the lake shore, and what makes Hong Tao happy is that there are no other contestants here, just now he also passed by two lake forks, which have other fishing boats, and he didn't go in to join in the fun.

After adjusting the speedboat to the right distance, Hong Tao began to throw the rod into the gap between the branches again.

Didn't catch a fish......

The two rods did not catch the fish......

Three-pole ...... Pregnant!

After a while, when Hong Tao threw the bait into the middle of the branch on the water for the third time, with a little splash when the bait fell into the water, a bigger splash suddenly appeared in the same place, and a fish jumped up half of its body directly from the middle of the branch and swallowed the bait in one bite. With the help of the reflection of the sun, Hong Tao clearly saw the yellow and black patterns on the fish more than 20 meters away, which is another smallmouth bass!

With the experience of catching the first fish, Hong Tao still painted the scoop according to the gourd, and at first he was not in a hurry to reel in the line, but tug-of-war with the fish, slowly pulling it out of the branch and then quickly reeling the line, no matter how it struggled. Pull it to the side of the boat in one go. At this time, Hong Tao was also bold, and no longer beckoned Erin to help him copy the fish, but collected the fishing line only a few dozen centimeters long, put the tip of the rod close to the water, and then lifted it violently and threw the fish directly into the cabin.

"Oops, you've got your seat dirty." Erin was basking in the sun on the back deck after eating, so Hong Tao shook off a body of water, turned over unhappily, and lay there to watch Hong Tao pick up the hook and weigh it.

"It's overcast. What kind of sun is it, you see your husband caught another one, 4 pounds, when I win the championship, let's go to Hawaii to bask in the sun, now move your ass and press the lid of the water tank! Hong Tao muttered as he patted Erin's ass and asked her to move away a little. Then the fish was thrown in.

With two fish at the bottom, Hong Tao's confidence gradually returned, and he operated the speedboat, slowly moving along the woods. After a few meters, they will throw a rod in and try it, and if there is no movement, they will continue to move forward.

Half an hour later. A third smallmouth bass also made it on, slightly smaller at less than 3 pounds. However, in line with the requirements of the competition, the results can be calculated, and naturally they entered the living water tank under Erin.

"Why do I catch all smallmouth bass?" After Hong Tao fished these three fish, he found a problem, these three fish are all of the same species, and there is not a single largemouth bass.

After pondering for a while, Hong Tao decided to try another fishing spot, and this time he couldn't look for this kind of submerged bush, to see if it was because of the environment, so all he caught was a kind of fish.

The third fishing spot is an abandoned small pier, when Hong Tao arrived here, there happened to be a boat leaving here, seeing that Hong Tao was interested in staying here, the racer also kindly shouted here, probably meaning that he had searched here and found nothing.

Hong Tao didn't listen to the angler's advice, just parked the boat in the distance, and then slowly approached the pier with the bow drive. This small pier is very badly damaged, and most of the trestle bridge tens of meters long has collapsed in the water, and only a few wooden stakes are exposed.

When the dinghy was still more than 30 meters away from the pier, Hong Tao began to cast the rod and launched a search from the water surface on the left side of the pier. The first rod was unlucky, there was a wire rope hidden under the water surface on the left side of the pier, and Hong Tao's bait happened to be wrapped around it, so Hong Tao lost the first bait. In order not to alarm the fish under the water, Hong Tao could not let the dinghy get close to the wire rope, so he had to reluctantly pull the fishing line off.

After changing to a new lure of the same model, Hong Tao dodged the left side of the pier, threw the bait directly under the trestle, and then with the movement of his wrist, let the bait dodge the wooden stakes in the water, turn left and run out.

At this moment, there was a sound of an engine in the distance, as if a ship was coming. Hong Tao looked back curiously, and sure enough, a speedboat was running wildly on the water in the distance, but this boat was not the BASS boat of the contestants, it was bright yellow all over, and it was the broadcast boat of those TV stations.

Originally, Hong Tao thought that this speedboat would drive directly from here, but who would have thought that it suddenly slowed down, and then turned 90 degrees to the left, coming towards his side, it seemed that he wanted to come over and take a picture.

"The broadcast ship is coming!" Erin saw the ship too, and she quickly sat up from the deck and picked up the net.

"Ignore it, maybe it's the host again." Hong Tao put his hand on his eyes and looked at it, but he couldn't see the people on the boat clearly.

At this moment, the fishing rod in his hand was suddenly moved, and Hong Tao reacted instinctively, without even turning his head back, and his right arm made a move of lifting the fish. Sure enough, as the rod was raised, the whole rod was bent, and a big splash was made under the trestle, and a fish was hooked.

Compared to the branches that are submerged in the water, the situation under this trestle is also complicated, but it is much easier, as long as the reel is controlled and the fish is not given too much room to move, the fish will not be able to run on the stakes.

Just as Hong Tao was fishing, the broadcast boat also slowly approached with an electric motor and stopped on the water less than 3 meters away from Hong Tao's fishing boat. There were a total of 3 people on the boat, and the person wearing a fishing suit printed with advertisements was none other than Hong Tao's old acquaintance, the host last night.

"Daniels, it seems that we have brought good luck to the Chinese boy, he has been fished, he should not be too big, and he looks very relaxed." Although the host is hosting a fishing show, it can be felt from his words and words that he is not a fisherman, or he is not very familiar with fishing.

"It's hard to say, the rod he chose is very hard, and the reel is also larger, so although it feels bad, but it is very convenient to control the fish, I don't know if he chose it intentionally or unintentionally." Daniels is a professional angler, but he can see the same movements more clearly.

"What do you think of our Chinese boys' fishing skills?" The host didn't seem very satisfied when he heard Daniels' dissenting opinion.

"He seems to be very easy in terms of fish control and should be a very experienced angler. But his way of controlling fish is a little bit different from ours, more like a European player, he rarely uses a low bar to control the fish, do you know why? Daniels, in turn, asked the moderator a question.

"Oh, I've never been to Europe to fish, and to be honest, my fishing skills suck." The host didn't care much about his face, and directly admitted that he was a good mallet in fishing.

"Because most of them fish from the shore, they use longer rods, all about 4 meters, and the water on the shore is so shallow that you can't insert the rod into the water." Daniels answered his own question.

"So it's really possible that this Chinese boy is a master fisherman?" The moderator understood what Daniels meant.

"I can't tell this at the moment, his previous unproficiency in the operation of the BASS boat is likely to be related to his fishing style, he may not be used to fishing in a boat, and he may not be familiar with the lure fishing method, you see that the bait he chooses is the same type of Mino, neither soft worms, nor sequins or Texas fishing rig." Daniels continued this analysis of Hong Tao's fishing patterns.

"Does it make any difference? I've seen quite a few anglers use Minoan as well. The host seemed to be deliberately playing dumb so that Daniels could unfold the issue and popularize fishing knowledge to the audience in front of the TV by the way.

"Of course it's different, usually we will prepare 3 different baits, and then use them to search around the punctuation point in turn, so that the probability of catching fish can be increased, and after determining what kind of lure the fish near the punctuation point prefers, we will focus on that kind of lure. And he doesn't seem to have this awareness, unless he doesn't have to search, and he knows directly what the fish here like, which I don't think is possible. Daniels followed the host's words and talked about the basic common sense of lure fishing.

"Oh my God, it's a largemouth bass, I'm afraid it must weigh 5 pounds!" Although the host's ears are on Daniels' side, his eyes have been staring at Hong Tao's back, when Hong Tao was lying on the side of the boat and pinched the fish mouth with a fish tongs to lift the fish up, he sighed for the first time, and covered his mouth with his hand very exaggeratedly, like a frightened girl.

"5 pounds and 3 ounces, Mr. Host, although you said you are not very good at fishing, but you have a good eye!" Although Hong Tao has been fishing with his back, he didn't miss a word of the conversation between the host and Daniels, and he heard it all. It's not that Hong Tao has a pair of tailwind ears, but their voices are very loud, because this is a live TV broadcast, and they can't whisper, otherwise what will the audience listen to?

This is a very fat largemouth bass, although the length is not longer than the first smallmouth bass caught by Hong Tao, but its body is thicker and wider, and it also has a big belly, which is about a pound heavier than the first fish. (To be continued......)
