The rhythm couldn't be kept up anymore, not just in terms of casting and reeling fish but also in the total number of catches, which Yue Feng was gradually pulling ahead in.
Both were using double hooks with loose bait to create a feeding spot, but Yue Feng's spot had accumulated the fish Cold Xiaojun had gathered in the first half.
Meanwhile, in the spot Leng Xiaojun was fishing now, Yue Feng had intentionally lost fish three times in a row to disrupt it, scaring all the fish away, meaning it needed to be regrouped.
The difference in fish activity showed in their bites; when both cast their rods with roughly similar loose bait, Yue Feng's float would almost always indicate a bite immediately, sometimes even yielding a double catch if he delayed his strike slightly.
