Chapter 445: Chapter 211: Someone Provoking_2

Just as they were discussing the classic lure issue of how to identify the spot, two more boats headed towards the spot where Lin Yang and his group were fishing.

Wang Feng glanced at them and said, "Lin Yang, my brother, it doesn’t look good, I feel like these boats are coming for us."

The captain’s gaze swept over the two approaching boats and said, "It’s George’s boats. If I’m not wrong, they’re purposely coming to target you."

"Target me?" Lin Yang slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this explanation, as he was new to the area, and besides Zhang Lin, he didn’t know anyone else. Why would they target him?

The captain explained, "This kind of strategy has also occasionally occurred in past competitions, usually in higher-level events. It’s like the tactical fouls in basketball games, properly exploiting the rules of the competition to limit an angler’s final catch and impact their score."

"They can play like this? Doesn’t the referee care?" Wang Feng turned to look at the referee not far off.

"The rules of the competition don’t forbid different anglers from fishing in the same area. As long as there is no obvious substantive interference, referees won’t intervene. Three boats targeting you is a bit tricky."

"I see. It seems we Asians are really not welcomed, regarded as easy targets. Since the referee won’t interfere, let’s teach them a lesson..."

Although now abroad, Lin Yang wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied. He glanced at his phone and said, "We’ve run into some trouble right now, probably because we stood out too much earlier and got the attention of some local anglers with bad intentions. But we’re not pushovers; let’s show them a thing or two, just to teach these rule-breakers a lesson."

"It feels like fishing overseas is even darker than stationary fishing in China, where at least they don’t allow sabotaging someone else’s spot. Here they don’t even care? That’s ridiculous."

"Trust in the host and Brother Feng’s ability. Just follow the rules and go for it. No need to be polite."

"Record this whole segment, and later post it on forums to let anglers worldwide know about these guys’ shameful acts."

Instantly, the followers in the live stream room were filled with righteous indignation and began energetically cheering Lin Yang on, even offering strategies.

Lin Yang said, "Keep filming the whole process. We’ll talk about exposure after the competition ends. These guys want to snipe us? Let them try. We’ll choose this spot right here and not move."

His decision was definitely well thought out; pulling two Big Mouth Bass from the same spot indicated that the spot was certainly more reliable than ordinary ones.

Moreover, the area of this spot was small, only suitable for searching from the positions at the four edges. He could clearly see the boundary area, whereas others could not.

Many places in the middle of the area were prone to snagging. If the opponents were not familiar with the situation, they could easily lose their lures. Once their lures were gone, he’d see what these guys could do.

Thinking this, Lin Yang signaled the captain to adjust their position by about ten meters forward, placing the two edges they had just explored on one side.

After the adjustment, their boat and the opponents’ were almost face to face at a 180-degree angle. If the opponents wanted to search the surrounding area, most of the places were ones they had just searched. The remaining two edges were hard to reach unless they went directly through the center area, which again was prone to snagging.

Having subtly adjusted the position of the boat, Lin Yang and Wang Feng cast their rods again, undisturbed, searching for potential catches.

Across from them, several foreign anglers also exchanged glances and simultaneously swung their rods.

This spot had just provided two large Big Mouth Bass in an extremely short time, definitely a new, unexploited spot. Sharing in it could really save a lot of fuss.

Even if they didn’t manage to rank, suppressing the catch of the Chinese angler would suffice for them to achieve their goal.

But ideals are plump, reality is skeletal.

A white angler with floral tattoos on his arms snagged his prized lure on only his second cast, and despite all his efforts, couldn’t get it free. He had to dejectedly straighten his rod, breaking the leader line.

After he snagged and lost his beloved lure, a black burly man beside him wasn’t much better off. Just a couple of casts later, he too snagged and lost his lure.

In contrast, Lin Yang and his team had already figured out the snagging areas from their earlier casts. Although they seemed to be casting nearby, their precisely controlled lures moved just clear of the underwater shipwreck’s edges. After five or six casts, they hadn’t snagged even once.

What frustrated the foreign anglers even more lay ahead.

On Lin Yang’s next cast, he changed the drop point and continued to search. After tapping the bottom with the lure and just starting to reel in less than half a meter, he hooked another fish.

Feeling the leisurely force of the fish underwater, he didn’t rush to pull it up but leisurely played with it. This fish wasn’t big; it was definitely not the target fish.

As the old saying goes, killing the will is worse than failing to catch a fish. It’s not that everyone fails to catch fish that depresses an angler, but that others catch while they themselves fail.

Even more depressing is the continual loss of costly lures while failing to catch anything at all.

After hooking the fish, Lin Yang easily controlled it for a couple of rounds, then casually pulled it out of the perilous shipwreck area.
