As part of the activity for the National Fitness Day and 2015 Shanghai People Sports League, Hongkou District Fishing Demonstration was unveiled in Luxun Park, attracting nearly 100 fishing fans showing their skills by the lake. Li Weiting, Vice Chairman and Secretary-general of Shanghai Sports Federation, was present.
Combining “dynamic” moves like lifting fishing rod, changing baits and hauling fish and the “static” behavior of waiting for the fish to swallow the bait, fishing fans fully exerted their skills and patience when sitting by the lake. The final result was determined based on the total weight or total number of fishes caught, and Zheng Penghe, Wu Chunchen and Wu Wenjie won the first place, respectively for traditional fishing, athletic fishing and demonstrative fishing.
