Chapter 503: Chapter 230: The Counter Bite_3

Thinking of this, Gao Bai decided to make a quick getaway, but as he looked towards the door, he spotted the burly figure of Captain Harry standing there like a meat mountain, blocking the exit.

Great, can’t even run away now!

Zhang Lin continued to explain the subsequent events in fluent English, and soon the video reached the part where the Wilbur moved away from the scheduled spot to a new fishing point.

That period was relatively calm, involving baiting the site, waiting, and Lin Yang normally interacting with the live-streaming audience.

That was until the fishing party hooked that big catch!

Then came the most outrageous behavior, when three other fishing boats, knowing that Lin Yang’s team was battling a big fish and needed ample space, shamelessly moved their vessels closer.

Despite Captain Harry’s strong protests and negotiations, they persisted in their ways, exhibiting dangerous signs of the big fish nearly going out of control.

Up till then, their actions were already too much, but what was worse was that after a while, these boats, like parasites, unanchored and followed Wilbur again.

Seeing these recorded moments on video, many media journalists still managed to keep their composure, but the sea fishing anglers and captains who came for the spectacle were already seething with anger!

"Damn it! This is a disgrace to registered captains of the Sea Fishing Association, Gao Bai! You guys are doing such disgusting things, and here I was, initially supporting you to denounce the other party’s evil. Now it appears that you are the real clown!"

"I swear, if I were fishing such a big fish and someone disrupted me this badly, I would go insane. This isn’t just plain jealousy anymore, it’s outright criminal!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, and the instigators, the three including Gao Bai, looked deflated and felt the scorching pain of shame as their heads nearly hung in shame, surrounded by angry stares.

"Alright, the matter I wanted to declare has been presented just like that, everything is evidenced by the live video footage. If any friends missed some details earlier, I’ll organize the videos when I get back and upload them to the World Fishing Association’s forum!

Aside from using this press conference to expose these dark and ugly actions, I will also file complaints with Captain Harry to the Sea Fishing Association and other regulatory bodies! I believe that those who love sea fishing and stand for justice will surely be in the majority, and this issue will definitely be resolved fairly. Thank you, everyone!"

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he bowed to the audience, and then thunderous applause echoed from below the stage.

Lin Yang didn’t understand the nature of these Americans very well, but Zhang Lin did.

Some of them can sometimes be incredibly arrogant and rude towards people of other races and nationalities, but that doesn’t mean all of them are villains.

Those with a sense of justice and honor still make up the majority, and with absolute evidence, there would be no room for excuses even if some tried.

Moreover, these Americans hold a sense of honor towards their beloved sport of sea fishing; the actions of Gao Bai and his companions had severely crossed the tolerance threshold of the anglers.

"We will now have a Q&A session with the journalists. Feel free to ask questions regarding this Bluefin Tuna fishing incident, I’ll assist my friend in responding to everyone’s queries!"

"Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask what technique you used to catch this record-breaking big fish. From the video, it looked like the usual kite fishing technique?" the first reporter promptly asked.

Zhang Lin nodded: "Yes, the kite fishing technique! Specifically, my friend made a slight modification to it.

After trying traditional fishing methods yesterday, we didn’t continue with the usual strategy of using chunks of fish as bait today. Instead, we processed the fish chunks into fish paste, which is more suitable for smaller fish, especially for herring.

After attracting a school of herring, we then caught the most active and robust herring to use as bait for the kite fishing technique. The fish paste attracted the school of herring, which in turn lured the big fish, allowing us to achieve today’s perfect catch!"

Simply adjusting the baiting strategy led to a drastic improvement in the catch. This massive shift in thinking shocked the foreign anglers, who, after hearing this, began whispering among themselves, causing the room to immediately fill with noise.

At that moment, a white female reporter in her thirties stood up to ask: "Hello, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lin, I sympathize with your experience, but as a member of the media, I still want to ask why they have been hostile towards you from the first encounter? Do you have any explanation for this?"

Zhang Lin nodded in response: "A week ago, when I accompanied my friend to participate in an international fishing competition, we first encountered this guy named Gao Bai. He was very rude and mocked my friend. Afterwards, my friend caught a record-breaking Giant Grouper, which really showed him up.

Then, just yesterday, a Japanese angler aboard the ’Water Ghost’ caught a nearly 900-pound Bluefin Tuna near today’s fishing spot. Hearing the news this morning, they arrived early to claim the spot. This spot was a new spot reported by Captain Harry last year, which recorded several big catches.

Sadly, when we arrived at the spot around six in the morning, we were driven away by these three opportunistic fishing boats, leading to the incidents that occurred later. From these signs, we have reason to believe that this was a premeditated and organized act of malice. Their actions almost cost our team and this record-breaking fish dearly!"

With that addition from Zhang Lin, Gao Bai’s reputation plummeted even further, hitting rock bottom.

"Mr. Gao Bai, facing these accusations, do you have anything to say? While this is not a court, everyone respects your right to explain yourself against these charges. If there are any other hidden details, I believe everyone here would be willing to offer support!"
