Chapter 798: Chapter 545: The Second Function of the Pole Tip

No wonder he is a master in fishing competition. Teacher Yu first simply explained the relationship between the bobber and the hook position in the fish’s mouth when a single fish is hooked. After explaining the principle, he went deeper into it and easily pointed out the key points of the technique of catching double tails.

"Oh, oh, I understand now, so that’s what you mean by finding an opportunity! I’ve learned a new trick!

To the fishing friends in front of the TV cameras, our live broadcast is not in vain. How is it? Did everyone learn the key points of the double tail technique that Teacher Yu taught just now?

Anyway, I understood it. After the live broadcast ends, I’ll find a place to try it out!"

Sun Yi nodded, and the brilliance of wisdom returned to her beautiful big eyes.

"If you’re just starting to learn this subtlety of observing the bobber, entry-level skills are relatively easy, but to improve the success rate, it requires long-term basic skill training! Currently, in the professional fishing circle, few can achieve the high success rate of Zhang Yang!"

Yu Wensheng generously praised Zhang Yang, taking every opportunity to compliment, which is already the third time he actively brought up these comments.

The atmosphere in the TV studio was very lively, and the competition on the stage was also in full swing.

After several tentative tests of the bite, Zhang Yang quickly aligned the fish condition with the bobber signal for catching double tails.

Compared to the timing of double tails in previous matches, the fish bite in the current match is obviously much more straightforward.

Reflected in the bobber’s motion, previously, after consecutive down movements, there was a pause and a rise, all having a chance to catch fish. Zhang Yang mainly focused on the pause in the bobber after two consecutive downward movements.

According to Zhang Yang’s experience, as long as the bobber pauses for more than two seconds after the abnormal preset fishing index, the double tail catch rate is quite assured.

And in this match? The fish’s activity is noticeably better than the previous double tail bobber signals. After two consecutive downward motions, the bobber rarely remains still; most of the time, it rises slowly, and occasionally there are further downward pulls for a third motion.

After several attempts back and forth, Zhang Yang found that as long as there were two downward motions followed by continuous actions, lifting the rod immediately yielded a very high double tail hit rate. There wasn’t even a need to find that pause for a few seconds waiting for the fish bite feeling.

Once the fish bite bobber signal was aligned, Zhang Yang began his double tail connection show, one rod after another, with a very high double tail rate.

After Zhang Yang’s perfect performance, let’s talk about Wang Chao.

Before going on stage, Wang Chao studied Zhang Yang’s technical characteristics. After finding out he would face Zhang Yang in the first match of the group, he even planned his strategy in advance.

However, plans are not as fast as changes. The fish condition did not reach Wang Chao’s pre-match expected intensity but was better than the fish bite in previous matches.

Back and forth, Wang Chao adjusted his established plan, ultimately choosing to play a tug of war against Zhang Yang.

What is a tug of war? Using almost the same fishing method, purely competing on personal basic skills and live performance, both sides going back and forth, one fish for you, one fish for me, with scores and results fiercely contested.

The favorable fish condition gave Wang Chao a slight advantage, making the difficulty of selecting bites and catching double tails smaller. Wang Chao learned from Zhang Yang’s style and tried to catch a few bites, achieving a high double tail success rate.

In the initial five minutes, there may have been slight discrepancies, but in the following ten minutes, Wang Chao and Zhang Yang almost operated in mirror fashion.

You bait the hook and cast the rod, wait for a bite, lift the rod and catch fish, hook the fish and then refill with a slightly larger bait ball, then continue to catch double tails with the third rod.

On my side, it’s the same feeding operation, the rhythm of our competition is almost identical.

Like this, the match entered a rare stalemate, Zhang Yang caught a fish, and next rod Wang Chao would immediately catch a fish to return the favor. Zhang Yang caught double tails, and within two rods, Wang Chao would certainly catch double tails to equalize the score.

The match entered a fever pitch, and with identical operations and tactics, there were visibly fewer points to analyze and discuss. Sun Yi and Teacher Yu chatted for a while, and the remaining time became a series of exclamations.

"Zhang Yang encountered a bite, didn’t strike, continued waiting, handed another downward action, still didn’t strike, bobber lifted, lifted the rod and hooked fish, beautiful, double tail!"

"Teacher Wang Chao wasn’t to be outdone either, after catching a double tail, refilled with bait, now lifting the rod to bait.

The bobber at the spot is active, the next rod should yield a bite. Bobber down, wait, wait some more, lift the rod, hit it!!"

...

Such on-site commentary lines made the live room intensely passionate, but there were fewer opportunities to share fishing technique insights.

In this way, the fifteen-minute first half of the match quickly ended. When the referee reminded the end of the first half, Zhang Yang and Wang Chao simultaneously put down their fishing rods and stood up from their fishing boxes.

The first half of the match ended with a score of 33-33, a draw!

"The fish just now were caught exceptionally well, weren’t they?" Wang Chao was the first to give Zhang Yang a friendly smile.

Zhang Yang also smiled: "You caught quite well too, definitely livelier now, the fish bite is much better than the dull state at noon!"

"Indeed, it was quite good. From the first match to now, I’ve never caught so many double tails, the fish bite improved quite a bit!"
