Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

At this time, our Sean was standing by the lake, holding a fishing rod, staring at the ice hole intently.

His partner, Willy, the owner of the fish market, stood beside him, instructing him seriously.

"There are mostly river perch under the ice in this area. They are carnivorous fish, so we use soft worms as bait." Willy said to Sean while stirring the bait for the nest.

“这把钓竿长7m8，选用的是6号主线，4号子线与5号钓钩的线组。”威利跟肖恩讲解着。

Sean nodded when he heard this. Before the competition, he also made a intensive study on fishing knowledge and understood the professional terms that Willy mentioned.

The line component is composed of three parts: the main line, the sub-line and the fishing hook.

The main line, as the name implies, is the line connecting the top of the fishing rod and bears the overall tension. If the main line breaks, many important parts will be lost, and in serious cases, the entire rod may break.

The sub-line is used to reduce losses. It connects the main line to the hook below. It is usually 0.4-0.8 times thicker than the main line, so that when the main line cannot withstand the tension, the main line will be disconnected first to reduce losses.

Different types of fishing hooks are used according to different fish.

Generally, the main line and sub-line of corresponding types are selected according to the size and type of fish being fished.

"This time, let's set the float 3 meters above the hook and fish from shallow to deep."

"Remember, Sean, the most important thing about fishing is patience and skill." Willy's voice was low and powerful. He reached out and gently adjusted Sean's grip on the rod. "This way, your wrist should be relaxed, and you can stare at the vibration of the float to feel the fish bite the hook."

Sean nodded and adjusted his posture according to Willy's instructions. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Other contestants on the lake had already begun their competitions. Their fishing lines were gleaming in the sun, and there was quite a bit of noise accompanied by bursts of laughter.

"Okay, let's get started too. We can't fall behind the others." Willy took out a bait from the basin beside him and handed it to Sean. "Remember, use moderate force and be gentle."

Sean took the bait and carefully hung it on the hook. Following Willy's instructions, he threw it hard, and the bait drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell accurately into the ice hole.

"Great, that's it!" Willy patted Sean on the back, his eyes fixed on the float floating on the water in the ice cave.

"Master, come on!" Abigail on the shore was cheering for Sean with two cheerleading bouquets, while Haley next to her was holding a camera to capture the wonderful moments.

"Brother Sean, come on." On the other side, the little girl Jas led her friends to cheer for Sean.

Penny, a teacher, was worried as she watched her mother Pam making little progress. She also had to take care of the children and pay attention to Sean's situation from time to time. She was extremely busy.

Time passed minute by minute, the float on the lake was still quiet, and Sean's hands involuntarily tightened the fishing rod.

The other contestants around him had now adapted to the initial panic and found their own rhythm.

"It's hooked!" The cousins ​​Haji and Alex next to them officially started working. Alex hurriedly took the scoop net, rushed to the ice hole, went into the water to dig, and pulled up a 30-centimeter-long river perch weighing 5 or 6 kilograms.

The crowd cheered, and he held the fish with great enjoyment, using it as a dumbbell while flexing his arms to show off his muscles in response to the crowd's cheers.

When he passed by Sean, he saw that the bucket behind Sean was still empty. "What? Want to compete?" He looked like he was sure of winning.

Sean thought, "You didn't catch it, so why are you so proud? I just don't want to argue with you. Otherwise, if I use my ability, I can know exactly where the fish is in the water."

Glancing at him sideways, Sean crossed his legs and ignored him.

Sean's contemptuous attitude completely ignited Alex: "You are doomed to lose! I won't let you steal the limelight this time!"

After saying these harsh words, he walked back and supervised Haji's fishing work.

"I really can't poop in the toilet because of gravity. It's so weird. It seems like I can't lose. I have to teach him a lesson and defeat his arrogance and pride." Sean also ignited a little fighting spirit at this time.

"Uncle Willy, is there any fish under this ice hole?" However, Sean did not intend to win the competition by his ability, as it would be unfair. Seeing that the buoy did not move, he turned around and asked Willy.

"Patience, Sean. Fishing is like life. Sometimes you need to wait. As long as you persist, you will always reap rewards." Willy didn't seem to be affected by what happened just now. He continued to teach Sean calmly.

After a while, while other contestants had caught fish, Sean still got nothing, and there was not even any movement of the buoy.

"Sean, reel in the rod," Willy suddenly said. "I suspect there's a big fish under this ice hole that's scared all the fish away. Let's switch to a thicker line and a deeper fishing spot to see if we can lure that big fish out."

Willy took out a thicker line from the equipment box next to him, and he skillfully replaced the original line while adjusting the position of the float. Sean followed Willy's instructions, swung the fishing rod vigorously, and threw the bait accurately into the water.

The new fishing spot seemed to be really different. As soon as the float was thrown into the water, Sean felt a slight vibration. His heartbeat immediately accelerated, but he knew that now was not the time to get excited.

He stared at the float, holding the fishing rod firmly, waiting for the best moment. Suddenly, the float sank suddenly, and Sean knew that this was the signal that the fish had taken the bait.

He lifted the fishing rod with force and immediately felt a huge pulling force.

The strength of this fish obviously exceeded his expectations. Sean put the fishing rod against his stomach, stood in a horse stance, and held the rod tightly with both hands, trying hard to keep the rod upright at about 80 degrees so that it would not easily cut the line.

He gritted his teeth and persisted. It seemed as if there were thousands of troops on the other side of the fishing rod wrestling with Sean, trying to pull him into the water. The fishing rod was stretched into a full bow shape, as if it could explode at any time, and the taut fishing line made a "buzzing" sound under the heavy load.

"Get up!" The bullfighting-like wrestling also aroused Sean's blood. He roared, and stepped two holes on the ice with his feet. His muscles were engorged with blood and veins bulged.

A one-meter-long strange fish was pulled out of the water by Sean and landed on the ice.

"Winter fish king! I didn't expect that the legendary fish actually exists!" Willy looked at the big fish thrown ashore by Sean in shock.

This fish is shaped like a loach, blue in color, with strange red eyes and dorsal fin. It is one meter long and is jumping up and down on the ice.

"Winter Fish King? What is that?" Sean asked at the right time. At this time, Mayor Lewis and his men also gathered together, and the competition was suspended due to a special situation.

"That is the legendary fish king, there are five species in total, and they can command schools of fish. And this is the winter fish king that only appears in winter. According to legend, the winter fish king will build a nest under the glacier and live in the extreme winter. I didn't expect it to appear here. It's incredible."

After hearing what Willy said, everyone looked left and right, and for a moment they were undecided about the fate of the fish king.

"Let it go! All living things have spirits, and it's not easy for them to grow so big." Sean expressed his thoughts when he saw the fish king with a body more than one meter long.

"After all, it was you who caught it, so let's do as you wish." Lewis finally made the decision.

Sean walked forward and picked up the king fish on the ice. The king fish struggled hard in Sean's arms, shaking its tail, and slapped Sean's face twice.

Sean didn't get angry. He broke free and held down its tail.

The onlookers were talking about the strange fish that Sean caught. He became famous among the townspeople again, and there was no doubt that he was the focus of this competition.

"Master, that's amazing! Smile!" Abigail outside exclaimed like a little fan girl, pulling Haley next to her to take a handsome close-up of Sean holding the king fish, "Let's take a picture!"

As the flash went by, Sean holding the more than one-meter-long king fish was permanently recorded in Haley's camera.

Holding the fish king Sean, it came to the ice hole. Now it understood something and stopped struggling. It stared at Sean with its strange red eyes, as if it wanted to remember his appearance.

Sean squatted down and slowly brought it back to the surface. The lake water was clear and freezing in the winter.

As soon as the fish touched the water, it regained its vitality. It flapped its tail, splashing countless water, and swam around the ice hole three times happily.

Finally, it dived into the water and swam under Sean's outstretched hand, revealing its head and rubbing the back of its gills against Sean's fingers. Then, its reluctant tail splashed and disappeared under the water.

Sean looked at the extra scale on his finger and thought: "Is this a keepsake? I don't know when it will come in handy."

While others were not paying attention, he covered it with his fist and hid it in the space.

The game continued, and without the threat of the king fish, Sean continued to catch fish.

Finally, when the bell rang to end the competition, even without the king fish, Sean and Willy won the championship with the total weight of the remaining fish caught.

Sean saw the surprise and unwillingness in Alex's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled slightly, then turned around and left a handsome back.

Don't compare yourself to me. I'm just a legend.

"Lost~" Alex muttered to himself.

I hope this defeat will make him realize the huge gap between himself and Sean, and help him put away his arrogant bad habit.

Afterwards, he and Willy split the $2 prize money equally. In addition, in order to live up to the special bait supply of that year, Willy also gave the fishing rod to Sean as a souvenir.

"I have never seen such a genius in fishing. I hope you will enjoy fishing." This is what Willy said when he gave the fishing rod to Sean.
