"I have thought about this problem for a long time. There are currently two ways for you to choose. The first is that the two of us form a team and compete on a boat. I play my professional game and you play your amateur game.
This method is approved by the organizing committee, because there must be two players on each boat, one professional and one amateur; there is another way, you
Don’t you have the documents proving the championship of the European fishing competition? Send me copies of those documents, and then I will apply for you to be a wild card in the professional group, so that the two of us can compete together, are you willing?
Which method should you choose?" Unexpectedly, Paul had already planned. Not only did he resolve Hong Tao's excuse, he also gave him two options at once.
"Then I'd better use a wild card to participate. This is more fair, but there is still one week left before the competition. Is it still too late to apply for a wild card?" Hong Tao thought for a while and felt that it would be more appropriate for him to participate as a professional player. If
If you participate as an amateur player, you will definitely get very little attention. All FLW events are fully broadcast on television. This game is very popular in the United States. Although it cannot keep up with major sports events such as NBA and NHL, the operating techniques are basically the same.
.
"This is not a problem. You can send the relevant information to this place tomorrow and I will help you handle everything." Paul handed Hong Tao a business card with nothing on it, just a phone number and a fax number.
"But I didn't bring my fishing rod. Is there a place that sells fishing rods here in New York?" Hong Tao asked another difficult question.
"Yes, this is a big problem. Let's do this. I will send someone to bring you some fishing rods tomorrow. You can pick them out first. If there are any suitable ones, I will lend them to you first. If they are not suitable, I will take them to you.
Go buy it." Paul was determined to drag Hong Tao into the water. Not only did he help with the formalities, but he also provided fishing rods for free. It seemed that he must have been gritting his teeth with hatred when he did the striptease just now.
"...Okay, I'll call back to China soon and have someone send the materials over." Hong Tao also wanted to find some excuse, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find any suitable one, so he had to give up.
The reception lasted until about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. Paul and Hong Tao talked a lot about the FLW game. Although this hook-nosed person is full of bad intentions, his character is very good. Even if he wants to harm others, he will do it clearly.
With a gun, you will never do anything like that.
Through this exchange with Paul, Hong Tao finally understood some of the flw competition. This competition was founded in 1996 and has a short history, but it has developed rapidly and has now become a very influential event in the United States.
sports competition.
Its full name in the United States is the Forrest Wood Cup Fishing Competition, and its official name to the outside world is the World Outdoor Fishing Competition. It is also called the Bass Fishing Competition. Bass is the transliteration of the English name of bass, bass.
The target fish of this competition is a species called Largemouth Bass. Its scientific name is North American Black Bass. In fact, it is not a single species of fish, but a general term for a class of fish. The rules of the competition not only have restrictions on fish species. They also have restrictions on fish.
There are also strict restrictions on the size of fish. Fish must be over 12 inches (30.48 cm) in order to be counted in the score. There are also very special regulations on how to calculate the weight of fishermen’s catches.
In the flw competition, each fisherman can only choose 5 fish to be weighed in the end, and these 5 fish must be alive. Once the fish dies, only half the weight will be calculated. If the fish is not long enough
For 12 inches, one pound will be deducted from the total score for each fish. A 12-inch fish generally weighs at most 6 or 7 pounds. Each fish will be deducted one pound, which is more than 9 taels. The meaning is very clear, it is to prevent fishermen from fishing for small fish.
Recharge.
In addition, in terms of fishing methods, the flw competition is also very different from the Chinese fishing competition. flw can only use artificial bait for fishing, and other baits cannot be used. To put it bluntly, it is a pure lure fishing competition. Hong Tao Zhi
So I feel a little guilty because he is not very good at fishing with lures. Not only has he only been exposed to it for a short time, but he has never caught largemouth bass like that here in the United States.
Fishing is a sport that relies on experience and luck. Now Hong Tao’s experience is almost zero. It would be difficult to defeat Paul, an old fisherman, by just relying on luck. However, it’s not that Hong Tao has no way to make up for it. If he really has no chance of winning
Even if Hong Tao admits defeat directly, he will not participate in this gamble. This is his principle.
As for Hong Tao's solution? You don't have to ask. He has to rely on those magical fish scales at the critical moment. Who knows that this is the only golden finger he has since he was reborn? He doesn't use it in vain!
But how to use it is another technical problem. If you use grain bait, it is simple. Just mix the water with the fish scales and the bait together. However, only artificial bait can be used in flw competitions, and this kind of bait is all
Made of plastic, metal, or rubber, they cannot absorb fish scale water at all. What should I do?
In fact, Hong Tao had thought about this issue before going to Europe. At that time, he wanted to expand the products of his fishing gear store and planned to create a very effective artificial bait as another flagship product of Cailing Fishing Gear Store. Because according to his
In my memory, lure fishing will soon become popular in China, especially among young people who like new things. The profit from selling this kind of lure is much higher than selling traditional fishing lures.
Hong Tao's solution at that time was to drill holes in the main structure of the artificial bait, and then fill it with high-quality sponges soaked in fish scale water. In this way, the artificial bait would have the smell of fish scale water, which could attract fish in the water.
Come and bite the bait. But at that time, Hong Tao did not put all his thoughts on making this kind of artificial bait. Instead, he spent three days fishing and two days drying the net.
It wasn't until I returned from Europe that I made two artificial baits as test subjects. I only tried them a few times in different waters. The results were pretty good, but there were very few fish species tested, only white stripes, horse mouths, and pouts.
There are several types of snakehead fish and mandarin fish. You can’t blame Hong for this.
If Tao didn't try his best, there are only a few ferocious fish in the waters near Beijing. If you want the test results to be more comprehensive, you have to go abroad to find waters with more predatory fish. Later, when I talked about going fishing in the Amazon,
He just forgot about it.
Although the experiment was not completely successful in the end, at least the production method was figured out, so it can be considered as prepared. There is a bottle of Yulin Shui Hongtao in his luggage, and it is still undiluted puree. This was originally intended to go to the Amazon to harm Brazil.
It was prepared for catching fish, but it turned out that it was useless at all, because there were too many fish there, and it was boring to catch them without cheating. Now it happens to be used. This is luck! I don’t believe it.
Bait was easy to find. Early the next morning, Paul asked his driver to drive a van to deliver the fishing rod he had promised to Hong Tao. When Hong Tao opened the car door, his eyes were round and his hands were full.
He kept wiping it on his clothes, looking extremely angry.
"It's so abominable! He actually has so many fishing gear! I hate rich people!" When Hong Tao saw dozens of fishing rods and various fishing supplies neatly stacked in the carriage, he finally felt sorry for Paul.
A little bit of hatred.
Paul didn’t know if he was deliberately showing off his wealth or if he was really sincere. What he sent was not only fishing rods, but almost all fishing gear related to the lure fishing method can be found in the carriage, ranging from complete sets of fishing suits and life jackets to as small as
The inconspicuous space beans and swivel rings are only something you can’t imagine, but it wouldn’t be possible if he didn’t arrange them well.
"Is this what Paul asked you to buy now?" Hong Tao was a little touched at first, thinking that Paul sent someone to purchase it specifically for him, because many fishing accessories were unused and the packaging was complete.
Some small accessories come in whole boxes, with labels from the fishing tackle shop on them.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I loaded this from my boss's warehouse in Philadelphia overnight. I heard that you wanted to make a fishing bet with Paul. I really sympathize with you. He often pretends that he doesn't know how to fish.
Fishing, cheating people into betting, and then winning other people's things. He regarded this as a very fun game.
I brought you at least a dozen of everything in his warehouse. This is the only way I can help you. I hope you can defeat him!" This guy who looked like both a driver and a bodyguard muttered.
He muttered a lot of words to Hong Tao, and then patted Hong Tao on the shoulder with a pity expression.
"Why don't you want your boss to win?" It's hard for Hong Tao to understand this person's thinking mode. If he hates their boss, he shouldn't say bad things about his boss behind his back in front of outsiders.
"When he didn't beat anyone else once, he would ask me to go fishing with him to celebrate. I suffer from seasickness, but Paul would deliberately drag me along with him every time. He told me that he would be cured of seasickness by vomiting a few more times.
I hate fishing so much, and I hate that Paul can win even more!" The driver seemed to be torturing his boss crazy. As he spoke, he picked up a fishing rod and was about to poke it out.
"Don't move! Put it down. These things belong to me now, not your boss's. Whether you believe it or not, your boss is going to lose this time. Really, go home and pray for me a few more times. I will
Call Hong Tao, remember this name, it will end your nightmare..." Hong Tao quickly stopped his move, and then like a magic stick, waved his hand to the driver and asked him to put everything in the car away.
Moved into Erin's apartment.
Since all the fishing gear is here, the bait must be among them. Indeed, Paul's driver really hates Paul. He took at least one box of all Paul's baits, and the total number is probably more than a hundred.
Okay, these lures alone can fill two large storage boxes.
"You didn't steal all of Paul's warehouse with Paul's driver, did you? Once you got these fishing gear, you ignored me again. No, I don't agree to put this pile of junk in my house, let alone
Taking up my living room!" Irene watched Hong Tao and the driver move things into the house one after another. She almost burst out many times, but finally endured it, but when the driver left, she
Quit. (To be continued...)
