Chapter 150: Chapter 128: The Giant Contest_4

"Alright."

If it were someone else that served up such a platter of bait, Xia Xiaoxue might have never used it, likely to death; it was just too crude and simple. Would the fish even bite?

But it was given to her by Lin Yang, so her confidence was much higher. Who cares what it looks like—as long as it works, just do it.

After distributing the bait, Lin Yang took out an 8.1-meter Hanlong Pole he had borrowed from Xia Xiaoxue, then attached a new mainline. He hadn’t adjusted the float yet, so he took advantage of the remaining time to set it up properly.

There was nothing particular about floats used for big fish; the setup was very simple. Lin Yang casually picked out a float that would take about three grams of lead, did a mid-water setup with an empty hook for even water, and the rig was ready to go.

Once he drew his lot and found a good spot, he could start fishing normally.

As mentioned before, fishing for big fish doesn’t require too high a setup. Lin Yang initially planned to fish even water at four ’mu’. He would then adjust accordingly based on the actual fishing conditions.

As time slowly approached seven in the morning, the loudspeakers from the draw booth began to call out, summoning all the anglers to gather and prepare for the draw to enter the field!

Upon hearing the call, Lin Yang quickly gathered his bait and equipment and then went up to draw lots with Xia Xiaoxue.

Up front, a middle-aged man in a suit addressed everyone: "Hello, everyone, I am the pond owner Qian Feng, and also the boss of Longlin Manor. On behalf of all the staff, I welcome you all!

Today marks the opening day of our Big Fish Pond, and we thank you all for your support.

The relevant rules have been posted on various platforms and WeChat groups. Here, I just want to emphasize a few points specially, hoping everyone pays a little extra attention to avoid breach of the rules which can be quite unsightly.

After we start fishing, you are allowed to hand cast your bait for the first half hour, but after that half hour, you are limited to ledger rigs with bait or using a baiting spoon for scattering particles or corn type bait. The principle is not to affect other anglers’ normal fishing.

Second point: The limit for the rod is 8.1 meters, the main line plus leader not exceeding 9 meters in total length. There will be staff checking during the competition.

For the heaviest single catch, staff will also measure the length of the line rig. Please consider the reasonable stretch of the fishing line and control it. If it’s too long, that fish will be disqualified.

Third point: By the end of the competition, the prize for the heaviest single catch will be a fully equipped BMW X5. All expenses covered; you just need to pay 20% income tax yourself.

The last point: Our Dragon Ascending Fishing Ground has strict rules. If someone violates them, they receive one warning. On the second offense, they are immediately expelled and their entry fee will not be refunded!

I hope everyone respects one another and adheres to our rules and regulations.

Now, let’s start the draw for today’s competition!"

Following the pond owner’s command, 300 anglers began to line up to draw lots, Lin Yang and Xia Xiaoxue not far behind each other.

So, the results of their draw came out almost at the same time. Lin Yang drew number 46.

He checked his position and found it to be between two aerators, which is one of the better fishing spots in Big Fish Pond.

Xia Xiaoxue drew number 125, in the middle of the north bank leaning a bit to the west, not the best spot, but not bad either.

"Wow, Master Lin, your luck is so good, number 46, right at the midsection of the aerator." Xia Xiaoxue said excitedly as they walked out of the crowd, glancing at the number Lin Yang held in his hand.

"You’re not doing badly either. Fish well, and I’ll try to drive the BMW home, while you aim for a cash prize," Lin Yang said with a smile.

"Right, I’ve never won a prize in a fishing competition before." Xia Xiaoxue replied with great
