In Channel A's entertainment program 'Just Trust Me and Follow Me, Urban Fisherman Season 4' (hereinafter 'Urban Fisherman 4'), which aired on the 25th (yesterday), the semi-finals of the fishing king selection contest at an indoor fishing pond were broadcast.



On this day, as in the semi-finals, the city fishermen competed for the total weight of crucian carp with two golden badges on the line. In addition, it was predicted that three golden badges would be awarded in the finals, and the lower-ranked members also showed their best in fishing to achieve a comeback. In the morning fishing, Deokhwa Lee took the lead by catching crucian carp in a row. On the other hand, Lee Tae-gon, who had established himself as a strong candidate for the championship, maintained his own pace and focused on preparation even while Lee Deok-hwa caught three crucian carp. Lee Tae-gon, who repeated the water depth check dozens of times, finally succeeded in being fully prepared and caught a crucian carp immediately after casting, adding tension to the confrontation.



Meanwhile, Lee Gyeong-gyu, who rose from last place to second place, showed poor performance. When no bite came, he showed enthusiasm and made people laugh by secretly getting a new fishing rod. Gyeong-gyu Lee, who failed despite the coaching of the fishing site owner, eventually changed his strategy. He said, “Brother Deokhwa, you must come in first place. “Only then will it be a three-way match (in the finals),” he said, cheering for Lee Deok-hwa to keep his rival Lee Tae-gon in check. However, Lee Tae-gon's strategy of changing gear again during the afternoon fishing worked and Lee Tae-gon ended up winning the semifinals.



As a result, Lee Tae-gon earned two golden badges, taking him one step closer to becoming the final fishing king with a total of 11, while Lee Gyeong-gyu had 8, Lee Deok-hwa 6, Lee Soo-geun 5, and Kim Jun-hyun 4, making the final a rivalry between Lee Kyung-gyu and Lee Tae-gon. This is it. In a fierce competition with no compromises, there will be a fierce struggle for the honor of those at the bottom who want to avoid last place.



The finals of the Fishing King Contest, which will mark the end of a nine-month long journey to determine the strongest fisherman, are already a week away. The results of who will win the prestigious title of 'Fishing King' will be revealed on Saturday, March 4th at 10:20 PM on Channel A's entertainment show 'Trust in Me and Follow Me, Urban Fisherman Season 4'.
