Chapter 741: Chapter 309: To Hawaii_3

After the plane landed, they continued their journey by boat to Kona Island, the venue for the Hawaii International Sea Fishing Competition, naturally taking place in the nearby waters.

There was also a Fishing Guide Club developed by Lin Yang’s company in Hawaii. Therefore, upon their arrival in Hawaii, there were guides responsible for picking them up and arranging various matters.

It was only after Lin Yang had settled in on Kona Island that he discovered he wasn’t the only one from his home country participating in the Hawaii Sea Fishing Competition. Besides him, three other domestic sea fishing experts had also arrived in Hawaii early.

Being unfamiliar with Hawaii, they opted for Lin Yang’s company’s Fishing Guide Club to serve as their guide.

"Master Lin, let me introduce you, this is sea fishing expert Zhang Yuanhong from Guangdong Province; this one is also a sea fishing expert from Guangdong Province, Li Jianping; this is sea fishing expert Chen Xiaodong from Qiong Island."

"Hello, nice to meet you."

With the guide’s introduction, Lin Yang greeted all three, thus getting acquainted.

He didn’t know the three men, but they had already heard of Lin Yang’s name.

This was quite normal. There were countless fishing enthusiasts in the country, and it was impossible for Lin Yang to know each one, especially since these three were not fishing masters, making it perfectly normal that Lin Yang hadn’t known them before.

The three of them looked to be in their thirties, all more than ten years older than Lin Yang.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Sea fishing, especially the type involving catching several hundred-pound fish, required substantial financial resources to sustain.

And those young people who had such financial means were either busy making money or indulging in luxurious life, hardly having time for fishing.

You could see all three were dark-skinned; those rich second generation do not have the courage to face the sun directly.

"The Hawaii Sea Fishing Competition has set up five single-person awards and one team award. The single awards are for the heaviest individual Golden Spearfish, the heaviest individual Marlin, the heaviest individual swordfish, the heaviest individual Grouper, and the heaviest individual GT fish."

The final team award is the total weight of the five heaviest fish of the above-mentioned species added up, with one pound earning one point. The top three teams with the highest points win prizes."

You can look at the competition announcement here for details; this is just a brief introduction. So your target fish for this competition are the five mentioned."

The guide briefly described the competition situation, then called everyone to board the fishing boat, ready to familiarize them with Hawaii’s fish conditions.

Among the fish mentioned by the guide, Lin Yang had almost caught all of them before.

Marlin and swordfish look quite similar, the main difference being their dorsal fins and the sword on top of their heads!

Marlin has a sail-like dorsal fin, while the swordfish’s dorsal fin is more like a shark’s triangular fin. Moreover, among the two fish of the same size, the swordfish’s sword is about half as long as that of a marlin.

At a glance, the two look very similar, but if you put them together, you can easily distinguish them; more contact makes it easy to spot their differences.

Hawaii’s scenery is truly remarkable, with crystal-clear seas, blue skies, and sandy beaches with bikinis.

However, the group wasn’t there to look at bikinis. After a quick glance, they boarded the fishing boat and headed to the competition area to start fishing.

The fishing was quite uneventful for the first two days, with each having their own catches, and the four participants got to know each other a bit.

Initially, the other three didn’t have a deep impression of Lin Yang’s fishing skills, knowing of him only by his reputation.

However, after two days of fishing, they witnessed what true skill was.

Master Lin was exceptionally strong!

He managed to reel in a two or three hundred-pound fish in just half an hour, and bigger fish weighing three to four hundred pounds in just over an hour.

Moreover, he was catching several in a row, without rest except to eat, truly formidable!

One person’s achievements directly surpassed the total of the other three.

The heaviest Golden Spearfish, swordfish, and Marlin were all caught by Lin Yang, while he still hadn’t caught a Grouper, which Lin Yang had to chalk up to luck.

There was also a GT fish, presumably because it was smaller compared to other fish and couldn’t compete for the bait.

On the third day, Lin Yang finally encountered an unprecedentedly large fish!

It was a sunny, breezy day, perfect for fishing.

The group arrived early in the target area to fish.

"Successfully caught a Bluefin Gold Spearfish...."

"Successfully caught a swordfish...."

"Successfully caught a Yellowfin Gold Spearfish...."

After catching three fish by noon, Lin Yang rested briefly after lunch then returned to the deck to continue fishing.

His dedication was admired by others, not necessarily for his love of fishing—as any angler would claim to be number one in that regard—but for his stamina.

Catching three large fish in the morning and continuing without much rest in the afternoon, this stamina was truly admirable.

Keep in mind this wasn’t just for today but had been the case for three days straight, elevating everyone’s appreciation of Lin Yang’s stamina to an unprecedented level.

At the same time, they also felt confident about the competition three days later; as long as their luck wasn’t too bad, the chances of winning the team award were very high!

The other participants were stunned, but Lin Yang was unaware; he just wanted to fish.

Hawaii not only has a pleasant climate and scenery but also resources good enough to make one drool; fishing here is truly a pleasure.

Lin Yang cast another Wave Crawler, and it didn’t take long for the fish in the sea to respond. Suddenly, a splash erupted in the distance, and the fishing rod in Lin Yang’s hand bent.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The reel emitted a continuous squeaking sound, indicating it was under immense strain. A huge force was transmitted from the rod to Lin Yang’s hand, making it somewhat difficult for him to maintain his grip.
