Chapter 328: Chapter 205: Evil People Will Eventually Be Punished
Zhu Wu unabashedly sized up Zhang Yang’s side a few times and decisively opened a double-handled backpack filled with bait behind him.
This square bag is quite large. When entering the venue, it was his little brother Liu Zi who carried it for him. The raw food used for baiting was taken out of the bag, and it looked very full.
Zhu Wu pulled open the zipper of the backpack, revealing the bait inside.
Wow, the backpack was stuffed full with imported bait from Wanjiu, known as the Four Great Diamonds.
With plenty of ammo in his pocket, spending on bait was indeed extravagant. For an ordinary person, this much bait would barely last a year.
Zhu Wu himself failed to catch anything with his slingshot, especially with Zhang Yang on a fish-catching spree next door. Coupled with some pre-match squabbles, he couldn’t stand Zhang Yang and didn’t think too much, directly opening another pack of imported raw food and adding a bag of carp flags.
Two packs of bait were rudely dumped into the bucket, mixed with some water casually, resulting in a ’luxury’ bait spot with over three pounds of pure bait.
Zhu Wu didn’t care about water absorption at all and directly formed the bait into fist-sized bombs, taking a glance at Zhang Yang, and deliberately throwing the bombs in the direction of Zhang Yang!
Splash! Splash! Splash!
After throwing four or five bombs, Zhu Wu repositioned his fishing setup, aimed in the direction of the newly supplemented bait spot, cast into the water, placed the rod on the rod stand, and arrogantly crossed his legs.
Judging solely by the body language, the meaning was clear: Dude, if my fishing isn’t going well, I’ll try my luck; if I can’t catch fish, neither can you!
The mid-event bomb baiting did have certain impacts on the fish bites near Zhang Yang’s side.
It wasn’t that the imported bait had any exaggerated effect, the main reason was the sound of the bombs entering the water caused some panic among the fish at the neighboring spots.
Zhang Yang frowned at the guy next door who had no moral integrity, holding back his anger and saying nothing.
There was no restriction in the competition rules regarding baiting, so he could only morally condemn him.
Zhang Yang didn’t bother wasting time with him, temporarily gave up fishing, clung to the lead, and lightly replenished the bait spot, rapidly drawing frequency with the Twin Hook Triangle Cannon.
Although the fish were initially scared and stopped feeding, they didn’t move far from Zhang Yang’s bait spot. Plus, the continuous spreading and diffusing bait cannon quickly lured the dispersed fish back.
In less than ten minutes, the fish bites in Zhang Yang’s bait spot became dense again. Zhang Yang replaced the bait with Twin Hook Pull Bait and continued fishing, quickly reeling in fish one after another.
Zhang Yang caught fish but didn’t bother mocking the opponent, acting as if nothing happened and continued fishing, steadily flipping the fish up and landing them into the fish guard, steadily improving his catch score.
Seeing Zhang Yang’s fish bites recover so quickly, Zhu Wu was a bit surprised.
Scanning around and not noticing any referees, he pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, smoked while restlessly scratching his head, and observed his motionless bobber with a corner of his eye.
No matter how good the bait material is, it depends on the detailed usage; just throwing bombs to bait is the lowest level usage of bait, barely utilizing half its actual effect.
If Zhu Wu used pure Wanjiu bait to create bomb bait and continuously bombarded to gather fish, he might have seen bites by now.
The intricacies here, Zhang Yang definitely wouldn’t tell the other guy. There’s no discussing reason with a fool; catching fish well is the most important thing right now.
After a while, Zhu Wu’s bait spot remained inactive, while Zhang Yang had already landed five more fish into the fish guard without realizing it, and now three hours had passed since the competition began.
The time reached close to noon, past eleven o’clock, the temperature gradually rose, and the fish bites in Zhang Yang’s bait spot slowed down.
In theory, with not yet twenty fish caught in total, it shouldn’t stop biting so early, but that’s the reality; Zhang Yang didn’t know why.
Noticing the sparse fish bites gradually coming to a halt, Zhang Yang glanced around at other anglers within his line of sight.
Everyone’s performance was no better than Zhang Yang’s; within ten minutes, Zhang Yang didn’t see anyone catching fish.
Could it be, there’s some trickery regarding the weight of tens of thousands of pounds for stocked fish? Zhang Yang couldn’t help analyzing privately.
Jiangsu carp doesn’t eat aggressively, requiring higher precision in tuning the bait and catching bites, but it’s not all bad.
These fish aren’t great at gathering to compete for food but have a stronger all-day biting attribute compared to Hebei carp, especially when individual fish are larger and have some density, they can maintain a long period of continuous catching, unlike Hebei Tianjin carp, which finishes the battle within a happy hour.
Could it be, among the stocked carp, there’s a portion of larger carp? Or does bighead carp constitute a large proportion?
Zhang Yang’s analysis was quite insightful; if the fish total indeed is tens of thousands of pounds, then the biggest possibility is as Zhang Yang speculated.
However, analyzing closely, the possibility of too many bighead carp is not big.
Because from the start of fishing till now, Zhang Yang hasn’t been the only one using aggressive spreading cannon tactics in today’s competition. No matter if it’s silver carp or flower carp, they are very sensitive to atomization.
Throughout the morning, Zhang Yang didn’t see any bait spot blossoming with fish, nor did he see the other anglers catching any bighead carp.
