Wang Zhen's basic skills of casting and retrieving fish are decent, but his timing for noticing the float and grabbing a bite needs some work.
Many times, even when the fish was surely in the mouth, he would raise the rod half a beat too late. Other times, when the float's indication of a bite was ambiguous, he'd prematurely raise the rod and miss.
What really frustrated Yue Feng was when he lifted the rod in the fishing spot and lost a fish; it clearly wasn't a stable bite, yet he insisted on trying to hook the fish, which directly resulted in a burst of activity that scared the fish away from the spot, a fatal mistake.
This missed catch was such a blunder that even after continuously casting Loose Powder for five minutes to regather the fish, they couldn't salvage the situation. More than 80% of the accumulated fish from before were gone, and Yue Feng had basically written him off.
