Fishing Livestream

"Hahaha, this is spot on! You're something, 666!" Zhao Zheng gave Yue Feng a thumbs up.

"I'm impressed, but to achieve victory on a tactical level, what exactly should be done?" Wang Zhen asked eagerly, his eyes sparkling with curiosity, looking pleadingly at Yue Feng and the veteran anglers around him.

Yue Feng: "At this stage, it comes down to the angler's understanding of the overall fish situation and their grasp of human psychology!

This is the difference between a second-tier and first-tier angler!

The common approach is to make a quick and accurate judgment on the fish situation, then select points that are easily confused, and use small gestures or certain details to lead the opponent to make an incorrect perception, causing them to make mistakes and thereby gaining a significant advantage!"

"Uh, I get the concept, but can you be more specific? For example?" Wang Zhen didn't let go and continued to ask.

Yue Feng thought for a few seconds while watching the situation on the stage and said: "For instance, take the mixed fishing situation now! Let's speak of the opening of the first session; the bite is relatively fast, but because of repeated fishing and releasing, there's a small detail you might not have noticed, the rate of entering the nest is quite slow, after starting fishing for around four or five minutes, they slowly enter the nest and begin to feed!

This is a point you can exploit! Think about it, according to what I just said, how could you reasonably lay a trap to guide the opponent into making a mistake?"

Wang Zhen: "Uh, make him make a mistake… make him make a mistake!"

Wang Zhen mumbled quietly for a while, furrowing his brows into knots, still unable to devise a reliable tactical misdirection.

After about three minutes, Yue Feng shook his head slightly and looked towards Wang Xiaomin: "Xiaomin, what do you think? If it were you, what would you do?"

Wang Xiaomin grinned: "It's simple! If it were me, I'd deliberately nurture the spot right in front without fishing, then stab at the toad from a close range! If the opponent doesn't pay attention to a few swings when replenishing the nest, I'd basically win!"

Upon hearing Wang Xiaomin's approach, Yue Feng nodded and turned again towards Wang Zhen: "Did you understand?"

Wang Zhen slapped his forehead: "Right! Stab the toad! This trick is good! The nest takes time to develop, if the opponent only notices the catches from stabbing but hasn't set up the nest properly, they'd fall into the trap!"

Yue Feng nodded: "That's just one misleading strategy! There are actually quite a few similar schemes, the core is to cover up the real fish situation and fishing intent, misleading the opponent's thought process towards futile or low-efficiency plans!

If the direction is wrong, naturally you'll lose, that's what I meant by strategic crushing, dimensional reduction attack! Got it?"

"Understood!"

"Think again, what other tricks can you use? Don't rush, ponder slowly following the mindset I just shared, once the key points click you'll get it!"

Under Yue Feng's guiding explanation, Wang Zhen began to reflect, and after tens of seconds he said: "Intentionally doing Loose Powder with added water to adjust moisture dispersal? Intentionally switching to a thinner line, intentionally creating a nest at a remote point? Intentionally using a Running Lead Float?"

Oh boy, once the mind starts to diverge, the perspective from which problems are viewed undergoes a dramatic change, Wang Zhen promptly blurted out four proposals, each theoretically feasible to a certain extent.

"Hahaha, Wang Zhen, you've finally got it! Alright, glad I explained to you!!" Yue Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Damn, it's not that hard once you figure it out!" Wang Zhen exclaimed.

"Finding the direction isn't hard, the challenge lies in how to act, how to make the opponent believe it!

The theory is easy to grasp, but the practical acting skills are tough, requiring apt psychological probing of the opponent for a chance of success, if the acting is too poor and the opponent sees through it and counters, you'll feel awful!

Let me put it this way, top-tier anglers, one after another, are masters of psychological warfare, each one has acting skills comparable to Oscar winners!

Contemplate well, for now, I've shared as much with you, if I say too much at once, you won't digest it!"

"Yeah, I'll think it over!"

...

The match on stage continued to the third session, which actually was not suspenseful at all.

Tianyuan Team One had held a definite advantage from the first session, and as they smoothed out the fish situation in the following sessions, their momentum grew increasingly fierce,

by the time Leng Xiaojun personally took the stage during the third session, the fish condition laid out over the previous two sessions saw an outburst, from beginning to almost the end of the third session, the bites hardly stopped, connecting continuously till the session ended,

single two-to-three-jin young Carp were pulled up several times, the nest was made firm and steady, the rhythm of catching fish reached a nearly textbook level.

Compared to the crushing performance of Tianyuan Team One, Tianyuan Youth Training Team Two fared much less impressively,

their fishing seemed methodical but the fineness of the team members' fishing skills was evidently lacking, many small errors in detail appeared in the match,

not to mention, just the mistakes made at critical points in the nest regarding running fish greatly affected the fish haul, causing them to gradually fall behind the few teams ahead.

Aside from Tianyuan Team One, another team caught Yue Feng's attention.

Sleeper Fishing Club.

Compared to traditional competitive strong teams like Tianyuan and Hua Clan, the Sleeper Club's development was much slower. Before the club league was established, although the company maintained a competitive team, its performance was average.

Leaning on the extra intelligence gained from sponsoring contests by Sleeper every year, the competitive team has won several honors here and there, but the overall level was slightly inferior.

But unexpectedly, during the revitalization match of the club league, Sleeper's performance was quite decent.

Yue Feng watched for a while, then turned to Niu Ben.

"Uncle Niu, do you know any of the anglers on Sleeper's team? I don't recognize anyone up there, are they newly recruited?"

Niu Ben scrutinized for a few glances: "This guy is Wang Zhiqiang! Last year's winner of the All-around Competitive King champion! He was a lone ranger before, recently recruited by Sleeper! A very formidable person, currently should be serving as the captain at Sleeper!"

Zhao Ran nodded in agreement: "Wang Zhiqiang is indeed very impressive, I've known him from following matches in the past, never places in team competitions, his skills are comprehensive, fundamentals strong!

The second angler who went up was Zhou Xiang, a Second Level competitive fishing master, previously from Zhongsheng, should have been recruited recently as well!"

Upon hearing their introductions, Yue Feng sensed a hint of difference.

He continued to ask: "How about the others, any familiar faces?"

Niu Ben replied: "The first starter was Xu Ke who was originally at the aux club, a Third Level Competitive Fishing Master! The other two young anglers don't have any information, they must be potential rookies spread across some clubs' second teams! Three masters leading two newcomers, this lineup is quite decent!"

"Oh man, so Sleeper in this match didn't use the old guard at all, straight-up fielded the foreign aid play?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng felt a sudden insight, no wonder watching the match felt a bit odd earlier!
