Gong Wenyuan, this is a genuine rod explosion, not just the common tip break seen among ordinary anglers.
Breaking a section or two of the rod tip is commonplace in black pit carp fishing, and almost every legitimate fishing session will have soone break a rod tip.
With fish weighing two or three pounds, when an angler uses the rod to control the fish and push it back, if the angle of the push is too large, it forms a dead point of force, and the strength of the rod tip reaches its limit, causing it to break.
This situation is a minor injury that can be fixed by replacing the rod tip, making the rod good as new.
However, Gong Wenyuan's rod did not just break at the tip; he aggressively pressured two large carps, the force transmission was too abrupt and not smooth, directly causing the rod to explode.
The sections in the middle, the second section, the third section, all ended up shattered. A rod worth over a thousand has only the front two and a half sections of the tip intact. There's no point in replacing sections now.
But Gong Wenyuan wasn't upset about the exploded rod; the fish were so aggressive that his heart rate wouldn't drop below 200, he couldn't care less about the rod breaking.
Old Gong quickly pulled a backup rod from his rod bag, swiftly picked up the unhooked rod tips, pulled the thick line to change the rod, and the two fish on the thick line hadn't escaped yet.
With his right hand holding the rod and his left hand on the handle, he gradually brought the fish back to the surface, slowly dragged them towards him, and with a quick and precise net sweep, landed two carps over three pounds into the basket successfully.
Old Gong's hands were trembling as he placed the net over the fish basket's mouth, then pressed down on the gill cover of the fish with one hand, hurriedly unhooking with the other.
The two fish were restless in the 40 cm diater net, and since Old Gong was too agitated, his unhooking operation was quite clumsy.
A move that Zhang Yang could complete in three seconds took Old Gong at least fifteen seconds, and one hook still hadn't been taken out yet. The second fish was a bit larger, making it hard to securely hold behind the gill cover, flailing about wildly.
In the struggle, the unhooked hook accidentally caught onto the net bag, and with a flutter, damn, the leader line snapped again!
After so futile efforts, Old Gong unhooked the other fish and placed it in the fish basket, needing to change the leader line again. In the ti it took from being hooked to entering the basket, it took at least over a minute.
As the saying goes, there's no harm in comparison. On the other side, Zhang Yang could complete the fish retrieval and unhooking in less than ten seconds, while Old Gong, due to various mistakes, needed over a minute. The difference in basic skills is evident.
Even though Old Gong's skills were lacking, the aggressive fish allowed him plenty of room for errors.
With the leader line replaced, he baited and cast again, and as soon as the bobber flipped, there was another bite!
Another cast and another fish hooked, followed by another bout of frantic fish retrieval!
...
Among the two or three hundred people participating in the competition, skill levels were mixed; there were masters and ordinary black pit players, as well as plenty of novices.
Aside from anglers like Zhang Yang and Gong Wenyuan with a stark contrast in skills, on the other side, Xiao Wei was also drawing a lot of attention.
When Xiao Wei first t Zhang Yang, she knew a bit about fishing from watching and listening but was only familiar with the basics, occasionally going wild fishing with her father to cast a few rods.
After joining Zhang Yang's company, she worked in new dia, hardly having the opportunity to touch a fishing rod.
But ever since YOYO was brought into the company by Wang Yan, and Zhang Yang arranged for the sisters to create a fishing sisters account, Xiao Wei started gaining more real-world experience.
In less than a year, Xiao Wei progressed from a beginner who couldn't handle wild fishing to a competent angler in the black pit.
At this mont, Xiao Wei wore a sun-protection face scarf, a baseball cap, her jet-black hair tied back into a sleek ponytail, dressed in Famous Fishing Tackle Company's standard sun-protection attire, though her figure was not prominently displayed, her tall build and poised deanor couldn't be hidden.
In her fishing spot, Xiao Wei continuously used Triangle Cannon to gather the fish. Although she didn't have the excellent skills of Zhang Yang, she opted for the safest and most steadfast thod.
Using a 3.9-ter rod with a 3.6-ter main line, after attaching the leader line, the line was slightly above the rod tip.
With this setup, Xiao Wei honestly fished at the bottom, quickly retrieving fish close to the water's surface every ti she hooked one.
Compared to the advanced techniques like Flying Kicking and Flying Copy that rely on skill, Xiao Wei's thod of retrieving near the surface wasn't particularly efficient, but her operation was ticulous and seldom error-prone.
Each ti a fish was brought close to the net, with a flick of her ankle, she placed the net over the fish basket's mouth, holding the rod in her right hand to tense the line, and left hand sliding down the leader to quickly find the hook. With a press and snap, the hook was easily removed, the whole unhooking process without her left hand touching the fish.
From the ti a fish took the bait to Xiao Wei unhooking it into the basket, it took no more than twenty or thirty seconds.
How to describe Xiao Wei's fishing? In three words: composed and steady!
Her advanced techniques might be lacking, but her basic skills were solidly grounded. In terms of speed, she wasn't the fastest, but in terms of error rate, she was definitely in the lowest minority.
With the streaming assistant and the audience interacting in the background, Xiao Wei remained unfazed, completely imrsed in the competition's atmosphere.
