The fishing ground I opened has become a national leisure destination

Chapter 528 Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum

The term Hall of Fame is not unfamiliar, and many sports have their own Hall of Fame.

Such as table tennis, basketball, football and so on.

But fishing is different from these sports. After all, there are no large-scale fishing competitions, especially international competitions, which are almost non-existent.

The sport of fishing is comparatively very limited in both development and influence, let alone world-class fishing celebrities and the Hall of Fame.

“I’m curious about what the fishing museum is like and who’s in the Hall of Fame.”

“I don’t know if I’ll ever get inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame.”

Anglers from all over the world are discussing this curiously. Brand players like Wang Heng are very curious about the Hall of Fame and the Museum.

The domestic fishing sports association was established only recently, and many places have not yet established associations. Fishing competitions are still in the exploratory stage, so the spread of fishing culture is naturally limited.

Not to mention the international fishing sport, fishing competitions itself have only begun to gradually become more diverse this year, with an explosive development and promotion, gradually entering the public.

At this stage, it is naturally difficult to enter the Fishing Hall of Fame, and it is impossible to have a fishing museum.

"The Fishing Hall of Fame was established by the International Fishing Association. The fishing methods here are somewhat different from those in our country. They focus more on lure fishing and sea fishing," Gong Lei explained.

He has traveled around the world fishing and has a high reputation internationally. Naturally, he knows more about the International Fishing Association than other domestic anglers.

“Can’t traditional fishing be inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame?” Deng Gang asked.

"We can only say that the mainstream is different. With the development of international fishing competitions, I believe that fishing culture will be richer in the future, and the Fishing Hall of Fame will include all kinds of fishing masters." Gong Lei said with a smile.

Wang Heng, Deng Gang and others understood after hearing this.

It is not that traditional fishing cannot be inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame, but that the International Fishing Association is based abroad, the mainstream is lure fishing, sea fishing and other projects, and there are limited international fishing competitions and insufficient influence.

As the sport of fishing continues to develop and various fishing events gradually gain influence, the Fishing Hall of Fame will inevitably be all-encompassing, and various fishing masters may be selected.

This will be one of their fishing goals.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, all the athletes went to the museum under the guidance of the heads of the international association and their respective associations.

The Fishing Museum and the International Fishing Association are not far apart, and also not far from the hotel where they were staying, so the group soon arrived at their destination.

“Wow, this museum is really impressive.”

As soon as they arrived outside the museum, many people exclaimed in amazement.

The fishing museum is indeed very grand, with a wide lake in front of it, giving people the feeling of fishing, which is very consistent with the concept of fishing.

And the various buildings look very beautiful against the backdrop of the lake.

"Look at that statue."

The group walked along the lake to the small square outside the museum, where they saw a fountain flower stand in the middle of the square and a large fish statue in the middle.

Any fishing enthusiast, seeing this big fish statue, would be unable to help but feel a sense of reverence, and the athletes at the scene even had sparkling eyes.

“Is this the logo of the fishing museum?”

"When I saw this statue, I immediately thought of the logo of Chen Yuan Fishing Ground. Boss Chen, did you get the inspiration for designing the logo from this?"

The big fish statue is very visually impactful, and it feels like seeing the logo of Chen Yuan Fishing Ground, as if it can inspire the fishing blood.

It makes people have a strong interest in fishing.

"To be honest, I only found out about the Fishing Museum last night. I had never heard of it before." Chen Yuan spread his hands, shook his head and smiled.

This was true. Even in his previous life, he had never heard of any museums or halls of fame. He was at most a fishing companion, not even a fishing enthusiast.

I learned a lot about fishing from chatting with customers.

"Take a picture for me."

"I want to take a photo too."

Many people started taking photos with the big fish statue, and the people from the International Fishing Association did not stop them. They brought all the contestants to visit it in order to promote fishing culture.

This wave of photo taking delayed us for a while, and then the people from the International Fishing Association led everyone further inside.

After walking through the hall, there is a spacious garden behind it, which has a bit of a zoo feel. There are many small animals such as crocodiles in the natural mangroves.

Walking in the garden, you can see statues of fishermen carrying various fish everywhere, creating a strong fishing atmosphere. There is even a real fishing boat with a huge fish statue hanging on it.

This attracted many contestants to take photos with him.

Walk through the garden to the spacious and magnificent museum, where the hall displays various world record specimens of international fishing, as well as various trophies of the International Fishing Association.

Chen Yuan and his friends visited the museum and looked at the fishing specimens, each of which had a brief introduction.

In addition, there are countless fish models hanging in the hall, which are not only rich in variety but also very magnificent.

Continue walking inside and you will reach the central hall.

There are also various fish models hanging in the sky here, making it as beautiful as the underwater world, with countless fish swimming happily here.

On both sides, there are many statues of masters fishing, some fishing records on the walls, and signatures of many celebrities in the fishing world.

"The central hall is the Fishing Hall of Fame." Someone from the International Fishing Association was introducing it. Most people couldn't understand it, but Chen Yuan had Gong Lei on his side, and his companions also had a translator.

"Hall of Fame?"

Wang Heng, Deng Gang and others are quite interested in this place, or rather, all the visiting contestants are very interested, and they want to see what kind of master can be selected into the World Fishing Hall of Fame.

"Wow, there's a little girl too, is she also a master in the fishing world?"

Among the master statues on both sides, there is also a statue of a little girl holding a lure rod. Judging from the appearance and size of the statue, she is probably only a few years old.

Is this also a master?
A famous figure in the fishing world?

"Bondi, the first time he went fishing with his father, he caught a 185-pound swordfish, which broke the Australian fishing record at the time."

"When I was ten, I caught a 294-pound swordfish with my father off the coast of Xinzhou, breaking the International Fishing Association's fishing record."

"At that time, the world record of the International Fishing Association was only 264 kilograms."

There is an introduction in front of the celebrity statues, all in English. Chen Yuan and his friends couldn't understand it, so Gong Lei translated it for them.

"Fuck, almost 300 pounds, how did she do it?"

"It should be her father who helps?"

Wang Heng and the others were shocked when they heard this number.

If these numbers were not included in the introduction, people would probably suspect that Gong Lei was kidding them.

A ten-year-old girl sets a world fishing record of 294 kilograms.

That was a giant fish weighing nearly 294 kilograms. When placed in the giant pond of Chen Yuan's fishing ground, it was a fish that surpassed the king of fish. Even the king of fish had to do a relay and even fall into the pond. How did she do that with a -kilogram giant?

"She didn't have her father's help. She used a 58-pound fishing line to catch the fish. Of course, she had some help from outside forces, but she definitely fished it ashore by herself. This is her record," Gong Lei continued to explain.

What can I say.

All I can say is awesome.

Perhaps this is the innate holy body of fishing.

“It seems that being inducted into the International Fishing Hall of Fame is not easy.”

After visiting the sculptures of these fishing masters, as well as the celebrities in the fishing world who have left their names here and their introductions to fishing, many contestants were impressed.

The master is worthy of being a master. It is not easy to be inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame.

“Those who are inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame do have strong fishing skills, but it is undeniable that this is a selection by the International Fishing Association.” Gong Lei spread his hands slightly, somewhat disapprovingly.

Chen Yuan and others beside him smiled at each other.

They all understood the meaning of Gong Lei's words, and it was undeniable that there was some truth in them.

If their country's fishing association was the International Fishing Sports Association, and if a fishing hall of fame was established, would there be no fishing masters from the country selected?
Top masters like Wang Heng and Deng Gang are not qualified to be selected?
At that time, it was not these fishing masters who erected the sculptures, but top masters such as Wang Heng and Deng Gang. Those who were qualified to leave their names were also famous people in the fishing world such as Hua Xin, Yi Zhe, Jia Dong and Zhu Qing.

"After all, this is their home ground."

Gong Lei chuckled and said, "Moreover, the International Association focuses on lure fishing. The International Association's largest event right now is the Hawaii International Sea Fishing Competition. The most influential events in the fishing world are BASS and FLW. Naturally, there are many celebrities in these two events."

Chen Yuan and others nodded in agreement.

It goes without saying that BASS and FLW are the most influential events in the fishing world that are basically known to everyone. The HIBT sea fishing competition has been held for the 50th time. It has a long history and is also very large and influential.

Lure fishing and sea fishing are the mainstream of the International Fishing Association. If we change to the domestic fishing association, hand rod fishing will be the mainstream, and museums and halls of fame will have to be replaced.

“Have a good competition. If this international competition can promote the influence of hand-pole fishing, perhaps many people who engage in traditional fishing can enter the fishing hall of fame.”

Chen Yuan looked at the anglers around him and pointed at the wall and said, "Your names may also be left here."

Everyone nodded.

Putting aside the possibility of being inducted into the Fishing Hall of Fame, their purpose in coming here is to compete, or simply put, for the prize money, so they will certainly give their all.

After visiting the Fishing Hall of Fame in the central hall, the group continued forward.

“There are four more exhibition halls in front.”

Gong Lei was standing next to Chen Yuan and the others, translating what the international association's guide said. "There are the fishing history hall, the cultural hall, the equipment technology hall, and the fish ecology hall. The contents are very detailed and you can learn a lot."

There is nothing much to know about the history of fishing. It is nothing more than tracing back to its roots and finding some historical background to increase the historical charm of fishing and its reputation for a long history.

To change the country.

Not to mention Jiang Taigong fishing, even going back hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors made a living by fishing. How could history be so far back and have such a rich heritage?

The same is true for the Ministry of Culture.

It is nothing more than beautifying the sport of fishing as much as possible, making it closer to the culture, and making people feel that fishing is a very meaningful sport.

Of course, this is also indispensable. Sports without culture are difficult to develop.

Good dragon boat racing culture.

Without the blessing of culture, sports would lose some of their spiritual significance.

Chen Yuan looked at the fishing history and culture of the International Fishing Association. President Wang and other leaders of fishing associations in various countries watched and learned carefully.

Then we visited the equipment technology and fish ecology, learned about various fishing gear, understood the ecology of various fish, and how to fish better.

"The Fish Ecology Hall is very interesting. This hall can simulate the fishing process and feel the conditions of various fish while fishing." Gong Lei translated the functions of the Fish Ecology Hall.

There are five basic fishing techniques on the big screen for visitors to learn, and they can then simulate the operations to experience the realism and fun of catching fish.

"Would you like to try the feeling of bass fishing?" Chen Yuan looked at Wang Heng and the others and asked with a smile.

"Try it."

Wang Heng and his colleagues were also quite interested. After all, this kind of simulated fishing had never been experienced in China, and these technical models might be able to be used as reference.

The simulated fishing experience is very strong, and top fishermen from all over the world are very interested in it, not to mention the visiting fishing enthusiasts. I am sure that this experience will increase their interest in fishing.

"Black bass is indeed a fierce predator. It is really ferocious by nature. The eight-kilogram experience I chose felt like a twenty- to thirty-kilogram fish."

After experiencing the simulated fishing, Wang Heng and his friends were quite excited. They also had a deeper understanding of the upcoming lure fishing for bass, and they were definitely better prepared for the actual fishing.

"The last is the movie hall."

After visiting and experiencing the four exhibition halls, the group continued forward to the last hall of the museum.

The movie hall here is not a cinema, but it plays some very artistic fishing documentaries, allowing people to experience the fun of fishing at a deeper level.

The International Association organized a viewing for everyone, and then took everyone to the merchandise store after the viewing. This is a supporting facility for the museum. After the whole tour, are you really not interested in fishing?

Don't you want to buy some fishing gear?
At the very least you can buy some good souvenirs.

Chen Yuan and his friends also walked around and bought some good things symbolically.

“How’s this museum?”

After walking out of the museum, President Wang looked at Chen Yuan and others around him and asked with a smile.

"In terms of appearance, it is both magnificent and spectacular. In terms of content, the display of fishing sports is very comprehensive, and there are also simulation experiences and artistic and interesting fishing documentaries, which can enhance the fishing interest of fishing enthusiasts."

"There is also the Fishing Hall of Fame, which is the honor of the fishing community. I believe every fishing enthusiast, especially fishing athletes, wants to enter the Hall of Fame and get the highest honor in the fishing community."

People around are commenting.

Almost unanimous praise.

After more than two hours of the entire tour, it will definitely make people interested in fishing, make professional players feel a sense of honor, and even effectively promote the spread of fishing history and culture.

It can even promote the sales of fishing gear brands and peripherals.

"I suggest that domestic countries can learn from this." Chen Yuan gave advice.

The sport of fishing needs a symbol, especially the Fishing Hall of Fame. The honor given domestically is the title of technical level. One King, two Finals and seven Special Grades are indeed very high honors.

But it has a completely different meaning than the Hall of Fame.

There is no requirement to be on par with the International Fishing Association. At least China needs its own honor system to perfect the sport of fishing in China and give it a certain influence.

“This matter can be planned in detail.”

President Wang obviously had the same idea, but he didn't discuss it in detail at the moment. "Let's go back to eat first and watch the game in the afternoon."
