Fishing Livestream

"Damn it! The feel I had before is completely gone!"

"Don't rush, take your time to find the feeling. Your mindset is the problem right now!"

"Damn, still not working, it's out of control!"

"Try again, don't hurry, take it slow!"

...

In city W, at Yuefeng Fishing Club.

At ten in the morning, Yue Feng and Wang Xiaomin were in the practice pole pond in the club's backyard, practicing basic casting training.

After the competition, the other team members took a break, but Yue Feng and Wang Xiaomin didn't go out to play and returned to the club instead.

Since breakfast, Wang Xiaomin had been practicing casting with his rod for several hours, but because the fingers on his right hand had no sensation, the force and accuracy of the casting were greatly affected.

After several attempts, the determined and persistent Wang Xiaomin dejectedly put down the rod in his hands, his expression unpleasant.

"Brother Feng, my right hand is really useless! Holding the rod, my palm is completely numb, I can't control the force precisely!" Wang Xiaomin said, frustrated, as he desperately scratched his head.

"Still can't find any way to control the force?" Yue Feng asked, frowning.

Wang Xiaomin shook his head. He could control the strength of his fingers, but only the thumb had a bit of sensory perception. Coordinating the casting force accurately was almost impossible. After several attempts, he didn't have a clue.

In fact, Yue Feng was already mentally prepared for these situations. He had Wang Xiaomin continue trying because Yue Feng still held onto a bit of hope.

As proven by reality, any development after an event strictly follows objective rules and is not changed by personal will, even for Yue Feng, the Fishing King.

"How about starting over with left-hand casting? The basic skills of ragworm and lure shouldn't be too affected!" Yue Feng suggested.

"That's all I can do now! Starting from scratch with the left hand, I was able to train my right hand before, so I refuse to believe I can't train my left hand!" Wang Xiaomin nodded, the fire of determination rekindling in his eyes.

"Come, let's go to the storage room and get you a new set of left-hand fishing box components!"

Yue Feng called out, leading Wang Xiaomin to the storage room to fetch a new set of left-hand fishing box components. They hurriedly replaced the original components, adjusted it, and returned to the practice pole pond.

Switching to the left hand felt very awkward at first, but with the touch sensation available, he gained a sense of the force used and feedback throughout the arm, including the wrist and palm, during the entire casting process.

Based on the casting situation, he could continuously adjust the force to find the most suitable casting strength.

About ten minutes later, Wang Xiaomin could already perform basic castings with ease.

"Casting with the left hand isn't that hard! Let's practice that!" Wang Xiaomin, seeing the progress in his practice, finally showed a smile on his face.

"Then let's practice with the left hand! There are certain advantages to left-hand fishing. At least during 1v1 matches, you'll be less affected by distractions from next door!

Take it seriously, and ask me if you encounter any issues! I'll practice left-hand casting with you!"

Yue Feng said it and did it. After making his statement, he actively switched the rod from his right hand to his left hand, slowly adapting to the changes in force, patiently training with Wang Xiaomin.

They trained for an entire day, only taking a simple lunch break at noon. Without even a nap, they donned fisherman hats under the scorching sun and continued to practice diligently.

Wang Xiaomin indeed proved to be a fishing genius. The time it took him to master left-hand casting was far less than when he first started competitive fishing with right-hand casting. Within just one day, his left-hand casting was already quite competent.

Yue Feng patiently observed from behind for a while, feeling that the dropping point was relatively concentrated. Only then did he say, "For regular anglers, this casting fundamental is barely satisfactory.

But you're different; you're Wang Xiaomin. This little progress shouldn't satisfy you, let alone make you proud! Starting tomorrow, we'll increase the difficulty! If you want to be better than others, you have to undergo stricter training!"

So, the next day, Yue Feng started cutting down on the lead skin on Wang Xiaomin's fishing kit.

Initially, to make casting convenient, Yue Feng chose a larger mixed float for Wang Xiaomin, which took about 2g of lead.

Starting from the second day, in the morning, Yue Feng directly cut the lead skin down to 1.5g.

After Wang Xiaomin got used to it, with morning's effort, his casting was again quite presentable.

In the afternoon, Yue Feng cut it down again, directly to 1g of lead.

When the change in lead skin weight exceeded the critical point of the center of gravity of the fishing kit, the casting precision was greatly affected.

With the lead skin cut to 1g, it was already very difficult to control the center of gravity of the fishing kit. Wang Xiaomin was struggling to cast with the left hand, the drop points were spreading widely, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as all over the place.

After watching for a while, Yue Feng shook his head: "With large weights, you almost don't need to make fine adjustments, mostly relying on arm muscle control. Your force application is fine, but with smaller weights, your control over the kit's center of gravity is poor! The method for fine-tuning the landing point is also incorrect!"

"Incorrect? What am I doing wrong?" Wang Xiaomin couldn't help but ask.

Yue Feng picked up his own rod and completely removed the lead skin, saying, "Watch carefully, now it's an empty line without any weight! I'll demonstrate casting with two small yellow bean-sized baits as weights! The target is the spot right ahead!"

After saying this, Yue Feng held the rod with his left hand, his upper arm driving the forearm to apply a slight force, and a flick of the wrist, he easily cast the fishing kit out. Without the lead skin's weight, the direction of the fishing kit was slightly off, so Yue Feng delicately tweaked his wrist to slightly adjust the direction of force.

The double hooks flew out from one side, then after some minor adjustments, landed precisely in the spot.

"Whoa! Brother Feng is awesome with the left-hand casting too!" Wang Xiaomin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Yue Feng: "As you cast, always sense the shifts in the line kit's center of gravity and the trajectory of the landing point! If the force is just right, the landing point will be accurate!

If there's wind, or if your force application is off, you'll need to tweak it with wrist power! The role that the arm, palm, and wrist play in casting differs. Give it another try and feel the muscle force adjustment positions I'm talking about!"

"Okay!" Wang Xiaomin responded, re-baiting and casting the line kit with his left hand once more.

The landing point still wasn't ideal, but Wang Xiaomin vaguely began to feel the changes in the kit's center of gravity through his palm and fingertips, undeterred by the failure, he kept lifting the rod to try again.

"There's a bit of wind now, so if you want to cast accurately, you need to account for it in your force preparation!"

"Yes, just like that, keep up with the wrist control, that previous cast was well controlled, but this one was way off!"

"Different line kit centers of gravity and bait weights require different casting forces, and the wrist's corrective force varies as well!"

"Straighten your back, you spent a few days in the hospital, and now your lazy habits are showing!"
