Chapter 985: Light-Speed Ragworm, Yue Feng's Unconventional Fundamentals



Very quickly, the referee in charge reminded everyone that the second round was over; the anglers for the third round should now step up!

Yue Feng unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, took a big gulp, and roughly wiped his mouth with his sleeve before striding confidently towards the stage.

He arrived at the fishing position, and Xue Kai had already stood up.

"Brother Feng, it should be about time! I just lowered the float twice, totaling over twenty centimeters; the density in the nest is definitely enough!" Xue Kai said, winking proudly, his face full of satisfaction from his successful strategy.

"Alright, you did well. Go take a rest; I'll handle it from here!" Yue Feng encouraged him, taking the rod from Xue Kai before sitting boldly on the fishing box.

Just as Yue Feng adjusted his posture with the rod, the person from Tianyuan took a seat too. The third angler stepping up was none other than Mu Lin, the tallest and most robust person in the Tianyuan Club, resembling a tower.

"Hmph, letting you have your way earlier gave you an advantage, but why are you slacking off in this crucial round? What's wrong? Afraid to feed the fish? Can't fish without those little homemade baits?"

Hearing Mu Lin's provocation, Yue Feng paused slightly.

From Yue Feng's memory, Mu Lin wasn't the kind to indulge in verbal fights, but it seemed like the temporary upper hand tempted him into being disrespectful.

Yue Feng smiled: "Oh? You think you've already secured a win over me?"

"They all say your technique is skilled, your awareness unbeatable, but I, Mu Lin, have never respected you! Now let me see you be awesome again! Turn the tide once more?

When it comes to feeding public bait, our Tianyuan is on the level of grandfathers! Your team is full of kids whose feathers aren't fully grown yet, whoever comes is a mere gift!"

"Ha! I never pegged you for someone who goes mad with power, I must have misjudged you! Well, since you're offering your face, I'll make sure to hit it! Since you're not convinced, let me give you a proper lesson on what fishing really is!"

Yue Feng sneered, casually taking a bait ball from the food box, turning to the bait opening bowl to take another to use as specialized bait for catching fish.

Previously, Yue Feng used the perfectly conditioned lure for fishing crucian carp. For today's slippery fish, he was already prepared and had prepared a new set of ragworm bait beforehand.

After switching bait, Yue Feng casually pinched a bait ball, rolled it into a strip between his fingers, then pinched it lightly to split it in half, one half between his fingers, the other resting on his thumbnail.

At this moment, he hooked the right-hand leader line, first the lower hook, then the upper hook, and within a second or two, completed the perfect process of baiting with ragworm.

With two bait balls on dual hooks, size, weight, and condition were all uniformly consistent like they were cut from the same mold.

After swiftly preparing the ragworm, Yue Feng flicked his wrist, and the baited setup dropped precisely in the middle of the nest.

The ragworm weighed slightly more than the lure, but this difference was within Yue Feng's expectations. Since the fish were in a lower water level, the ragworm even reached the bottom faster.

Just with the first cast, as the float approached the fishing point, a hasty and powerful bait bite pattern appeared, with a slight pause and then a strong down-pull.

Raising the rod to hook the fish, the hook point was precisely at 12 o'clock, without deviation!

Catching fish on the hook, Yue Feng gently cupped the leader line with his left hand, lightly pressed the middle finger on the hook shank against the needle stopper, with a 'puff', and a tail was in the net!

"One fish!" Yue Feng said lightly, not slowing down a bit in his hand movements. In the blink of an eye, the second ragworm was prepared again and casted back into the water.

Still targeting the precise center of the nest, still the same identical dual-hook ragworm,

The float normally flipped and descended, and just as it was about to reach its position, the same interface descent pattern as the first cast appeared.

Rod lift, hook set!

"Two fish!"

Yue Feng softly reported the count, reorganizing the leader line to bait the hook again, and quickly cast the third rod out.

Following were the third fish, fourth fish, fifth fish!

After catching a total of five fish in the third round, it was then that Mu Lin got his first fish of the round.

At this moment, whether on stage or off, everyone was dumbfounded!

The quick lure technique was understandable; after all, it's a frequently practiced process!

But this ragworm for small crucian, was a basic skill that old anglers would specifically practice during the early days of Taiwan Fishing when it was still in the "tune four fish two" phase a few years ago.

No one expected Yue Feng to bait so swiftly, or that as soon as he stepped on stage, he'd catch a streak of five fish, creating a small 5:1 climax!

And the surprises were not over yet.

From the first fish on, the fish bites showed no signs of slowing. In a minute, Yue Feng consistently cast four rods and caught four fish.

In the first less than three minutes of the third round, the ten fish gap from the first two rounds had already been closed by Yue Feng. Moreover, his fish catch continued to steadily increase.

At this point, Mu Lin, who had been making bold claims and psychological warfare earlier, was completely dumbfounded!

He thought his opponent was a fool, not expecting him to be a hero, and not only did his face feel slapped, but his fishing mindset became completely disrupted.

Offstage, in the Tianyuan viewing area.

"What's going on, Captain? Why did the fish suddenly get so active when Yue Feng took the stage? The fish conditions in the first two rounds were clearly lackluster, with no sign of consecutive catches!"

Ming Xiaodong's small eyes were fixed on the stage, his expression tense, his heart in knots.

Leng Xiaojun also kept his eyes on the stage, his brows furrowed deeply.

Recalling the first two rounds, the first round had Zhao Zheng battling him to a tie, only two fish behind. The fish condition was pretty transparent.

In the second round, the participant from Yue Feng's team was Xue Kai, whose technique clearly lacked experience, resulting in continuous losses from the start. Neither the nest's number of fish bites nor his catching efficiency could compare, leaving them ten fish behind.

Feeding public bait had no external force to rely on, so what went wrong exactly? Leng Xiaojun fell into deep thought.

After contemplating for a few dozen seconds, Leng Xiaojun suddenly noticed Yue Feng's ragworm baiting technique and realized it must mainly be targeting slippery fish in the pond, a flash of insight hit him.

He suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Damn! We've been fooled again; they did it on purpose!"

"What's going on? What do you mean we were fooled?"

"Did you notice what Yue Feng's first move was after he took the stage? It was to push the float upwards by about twenty centimeters! Pushing the float then using ragworm—what does that signify?"

"What does it mean? The previous anglers didn't determine the bottom properly?" Ming Xiaodong was still a bit confused!
