Chapter 363: Chapter 185: Fishing for Yangtze Alligator_4

"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the second day of the King’s Battle, brought to you by our sponsor xx. I’m your host for today, Xia Xiaoxue, and joining me are Old Chen and Master Lin, who made some divine predictions yesterday."

"Hello, everyone."

"Good evening, everyone."

As Xia Xiaoxue finished her opening speech, Old Chen and Lin Yang also started speaking to the camera.

The live broadcast was only minimally beneficial for Xia Xiaoxue and Old Chen in terms of enhancement since they had already hosted similar competitions before, but for a fresh face like Lin Yang, he certainly garnered more attention, especially for his professional expertise, which indeed won the recognition of many viewers.

Although he was a host, compared to such a national competition, his fame was still too low, considering that there are fishing hosts with fans number in the hundreds if not a hundred then eighty.

His commentary during yesterday’s competition indeed flared up his popularity again, drawing in many newcomers.

"I wanted to see Master Lin fishing, but he sneakily came to host."

"What do you think, how does Master Lin’s fishing skills compare to today’s competitors? Could he rank among the masters?"

"Hard to say, all the masters competing today are into competitive fishing, whereas Master Lin isn’t a professional. He’s more into wild fishing; it’s incomparable."

"Master Lin is the best in the world."

The competition was about to start, but there were relatively few discussions about today’s competition in the live stream; many people were debating what ranking Lin Yang would have if he participated in today’s competition.

Actually, Lin Yang himself didn’t know because he had never participated in such competitions that were entirely comprised of professional masters.

After Xia Xiaoxue introduced today’s competition and the contestants, the director quickly switched the camera to the competition site.

Today’s positions were chosen based on yesterday’s rankings, one by one.

That is to say, out of 54 fishing spots, Zeng Dapen got to choose first, followed by Li Damao, Master Deng, Wang Feng, Liu Changgan....

After they had all chosen their spots and checked their equipment, they could directly take a small boat to their selected fishing points.

Wang Feng chose a fishing spot at a gentle slope near a water outlet today, which was also a decent location, picked by a top-ranked player yesterday.

Other appealing fishing spots were still selected by a few masters at the front of the line, except one, the spot Zeng Dapen chose yesterday.

Although he secured the temporary first place because of that spot, everyone knew the nest had been stirred up by the Yellow Tail fish swarm and guessed it would probably be a dead nest today.

After everyone had selected their spots, the organizers sent them to their spots, where they began adjusting floats, testing the glow floats, and preparing bait and nesting materials.

By around 9:30 PM, all the contestants had vigorously completed their nesting and began fishing officially, with Wang Feng targeting catfish again today.

As mentioned before, when fishing, you first need to know the habits and active feeding times of the fish.

Most fish indeed eat during the day and sleep at night, but as the season moves into summer, many fish might sleep during the hotter days and come out to feed at night, so it’s crucial to understand their habits.

The fishing spot Wang Feng chose yesterday was very deep, so even during the day, catfish would be active in the deeper areas. Nesting there had a good chance of drawing them to the surface.

Now at night, with the weather cooling down, the big fish in deeper waters would come to shallower areas to feed. His chosen gentle slope was ideal for this.

Different times require different locations to fish for the same species of fish.

Wang Feng might not have been the absolute best among today’s contestants, but he was certainly among the top few. If Lin Yang were participating today, he would have a fifty percent chance of being at Wang Feng’s spot, the other fifty percent might land him at the water inlet.

That area actually had the most wild food, naturally attracting predatory big fish; however, regardless of his considerations, today’s competitor was Wang Feng.

As 36 contestants began to nest and fish, the fish in the entire lake area started stirring. Around 9:40 PM, the first catch was made by Liu Changgan, who was currently in fourth place.

His first catch was a Milky Bream weighing over ten pounds. Liu Changgan was elated as he was also aiming to win the King’s Battle championship, and he would certainly be happy if it was his lucky day today.

You should know, Breams often appear as groups. Catching one often signals more to follow soon."

"Damn, Teacher Liu Changgan caught the first fish, and it’s a Bream! Looks like he has good luck today."

"Could today’s good fortune be on Liu Changgan’s side?"

Seeing Liu Changgan catch a Bream first, many viewers thought he might replicate the path Zeng Dapen took yesterday.

Lin Yang also felt uncertain about how today’s competition would unfold.

He looked towards Wang Feng, who was using the same line set from this morning. His ’Fish Attraction Bright Pearl’ was also on it, but he had never used it, so he did not know how effective it actually was.
