Chapter 250 - 158: Fungi and Fish_2
As the first competition came close to an end, the venue buzzed with discussions.
"Master Lin’s strategy was flawed. He kept catching small fish and would have been eliminated if he hadn’t caught the Erhai Bowfish and the Big Head Carp in the end."
"Do you think there’s a possibility that Master Lin was actually aiming for the Erhai Bowfish and Big Head Carp from the start, which is why he kept focusing on the spot?"
"Hiss, come to think of it, it’s really possible. With Master Lin’s fishing skills, how could he make such a novice mistake of just catching small fish? He must have known that by aggressively focusing on the spot with the small rod, he could attract the Bow Fish and Big Head Carp. It seems he was targeting these fish from the beginning."
"If that’s true, then it’s terrifying. He risked losing the competition just to catch special fish species, and they did catch their target fish in the end. This means they might have already completed the process of luring the fish to the spot. Perhaps next, they might actually be able to catch a lot of Bow Fish and Big Head Carp.... It’s just a shame that the competition won’t give them the time."
....
However, as the fellow anglers discussed and analyzed, Lin Yang’s true intention and tactics in this competition were gradually revealed. His aim from the beginning was not to catch small fish; he was targeting the Erhai Bowfish and Big Head Carp all along.
Ultimately, his tactics proved effective, as he was indeed the only participant who caught an Erhai Bowfish.
It is somewhat regrettable that it wasn’t until close to the end of the competition that Lin Yang and Yue’er caught these two high-scoring fish.
