Looking at the cleaned fish bladder in Bai Yu's hand, the viewers in the live stream had no other reaction except that the fish bladder was rather large.
After all, this was seen in a live broadcast. Even if it were dug up on the spot, it wouldn't be as shocking as seeing it in person.
Moreover, the swim bladder has only been cleaned and the excess fat has been removed; nothing else has been done yet.
After briefly explaining the fish maw and how to prepare it to the camera, Bai Yu put it away.
He's still in the competition phase, so he doesn't have much time to deal with this. But when he has dinner later, he can take the fish bladder to the kitchen and have his uncle process it.
Almost all the masters in Bai's school know how to process fish bladders and make fish glue.
After all, Haikou Province is surrounded by the sea and has very rich marine resources. Croaker, yellow croaker, and even large yellow croaker can all have their swim bladders extracted to make fish glue.
If you don't know how to handle these things, it'll be a bit dramatic when you encounter these fish in the future.
After putting the croaker into the freezer, Bai Yu returned to his fishing spot and continued fishing.
However, this time, he waited a long time for fishing but didn't catch a single fish. Not only were the croakers gone, but all the other fish were gone too.
Based on this situation, Bai Yu felt that the croaker school had left, taking other fish with them, and the seabed where they were currently located was in a resource vacuum period.
You can definitely still catch fish later, but it will take time for fish from other places to swim over.
However, since there were no fish to catch here, Bai Yu could take a break. He took the fish bladder and headed to the kitchen, where he gave it to his uncle and asked him to help him process it.
He then returned to his fishing spot. Even though he couldn't catch any fish, he still put the fishing rod down and started playing with his phone while holding the rod in one hand.
That's how fishing is. When the fish are biting well, you can catch fish one after another so frequently that you don't even have time to drink water. But if no fish bite, you might not catch a single fish all day.
That's how the Air Force got its reputation.
Bai Yu can hardly be called an air force pilot today. He was very lucky today, and his own performance was also very good. He is currently still among the top performers.
Among the big fish caught, there was a bullhead trevally weighing over 100 pounds and a large croaker over a meter long, both of which were excellent catches.
The fish aren't biting now, but that's only temporary. It's good that they're not biting; it gives the fisherman a chance to rest for a while.
Then, after resting for a while, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Bai Yu then went directly to the restaurant for dinner with his fishing rod.
Since the croakers disappeared, we haven't caught a single fish by bottom fishing in Baiyu. It's not that there are no fish on the seabed, but rather that all that's left are small fish.
Butterflyfish and flounder are predators that hide in the mud and sand. In addition to being well-hidden, they also have relatively small mouths.
Then, the hooks used by the white fish were a bit too big. Although the fish would bite, they would only eat the bait and often wouldn't actually bite the hook.
If the whitebait doesn't take the bait, it's highly unlikely it will catch its prey, and the prey can easily escape.
Then, in the afternoon, Bai Yu tried to hook the fish three times, but in the end, he didn't catch a single fish.
Since they couldn't catch any fish, Baiyu wouldn't force them. When it was time to pack up and have dinner, they would simply put down their lines.
Tonight's meal was relatively simple. It's not that the kitchen didn't want to cook, but rather that they had just arranged an afternoon tea beforehand, so none of the contestants or staff were too hungry.
So let's make a simple dinner: a few stir-fried dishes, a pot of rice, and some soup. Anyone who wants to eat can have some.
Bai Yu didn't know how much the other contestants ate, but he ate quite a lot because he didn't have afternoon tea.
The No. 13 fishing boat was quite well-prepared with drinks and snacks, including various kinds of milk tea and coffee, but there were some things that the fishermen couldn't drink.
After all, he is still an athlete. Before he retires, there are certain substances in certain concentrations that are above the safe limit, so he cannot drink them.
Since he didn't have afternoon tea, he naturally had a very good appetite at dinner, and could eat and drink a lot.
After dinner, the sky over the sea darkened, and the surrounding fishing boats turned on their lights.
Although it is nighttime, the fishing boats are still brightly lit, as bright as day.
As evening approached, there wasn't much time left in the first day of the competition for all the participants.
Their daily competition ends at 12:00 PM. After 12:00 PM, the next fishing spot will be randomly selected in the live stream, and then they will have to move to a different location.
That means they only have less than five hours left for their first day of competition.
Although time was running out, Bai Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. After finishing his dinner, he didn't go fishing right away. Instead, he took a pot of tea to the rest area on the second floor of the deck, sat by the railing, and drank his tea while watching the other contestants busy on the deck.
He can't drink milk tea or coffee, but he can drink a little green tea, black tea, dark tea, and even white tea.
There are still four or five hours of fishing to go, so drinking more tea now will be good for fishing, at least it can help prevent drowsiness.
It's impossible to avoid feeling sleepy completely, but being able to suppress it a little is enough.
While drinking tea, Bai Yu also took out his phone and checked his own live stream.
The live streamers had changed, and now Lu Sheng and another female host were broadcasting. Lu Sheng was responsible for commenting on the fishing process and the types of fish the contestants caught.
The female anchor is responsible for reading the comments, interacting with netizens, and selling products on the side, which is equivalent to the function of a host.
The hosts are several anchors from Bai Yu's company who take turns hosting, totaling more than a dozen people, and they can rotate over these five days.
However, as for the commentators, there are only two people: Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, who take turns.
While Bai Yu was watching the live stream, one of the contestants on boat number 19 caught a fish, and judging from his handling, it was a big one.
This can be determined by the degree of bending of the other person's fishing rod, the sound of the fishing line coming out, and the player's own operating state.
It seems that the fishing spot they chose this time has very good resources. While Bai Yu had a big catch, the other players also had a very good catch.
Although other fishermen also caught big fish, Bai Yu remained calm and focused. He knew he should rest properly when he needed to and focus on fishing when he was fishing, without getting distracted. Otherwise, he would be unable to do anything well.
Bai Yu drank the tea for half an hour before taking the teapot to the restaurant and then leisurely walking towards the bow of the boat.
After a good rest and some tea, it's time to get back to work and get serious about fishing.
However, fishing is largely a matter of luck; what kind of fish you catch isn't determined by your skill.
It depends on what kind of fish you encounter that will bite the hook. Only after they bite the hook will it be possible to operate.
Bai Yu did the same thing that evening; he planned to use the same bottom fishing method as in the afternoon.
However, as he cast his line, he slightly changed his hook, replacing it with a smaller one.
The purpose is to catch some smaller sea fish even if you can't catch big ones.
It's a pity that Bai Yu's idea of catching big fish was good, but the result is very cruel. All he's getting hooked are small carambs.
He even caught a few ribbonfish, the yellow-eyed kind from the South China Sea, which are very cheap.
Unfortunately, this type of yellow-eyed ribbonfish doesn't taste good. Compared to ribbonfish from the East China Sea, these ribbonfish have a very strong fishy smell. Even for people who like to eat fish, if something has too strong a fishy smell, it naturally won't be very popular.
These ribbonfish are not only inexpensive, but also very small in weight, each weighing only a few ounces. Even if he caught ten or so ribbonfish in a row, they would only weigh about seven or eight pounds in total.
With such a meager catch, all these ribbonfish combined don't even weigh as much as the croaker Bai Yu caught this afternoon.
However, you can't just skip fishing for ribbonfish; these guys are quite formidable. Don't let their relatively small size fool you; their mouths are enormous.
Moreover, they are extremely greedy. They will take a bite of any food that is in front of them without hesitation. Even if they can't finish the food in one bite, they will still bite off a piece of meat from the other food.
Aside from these ribbonfish, the other catches were also not great. Although the fishermen caught fish very frequently at night, they were mostly small fish.
After a whole night of work, he only caught about 30 pounds of fish, which averages out to less than 10 pounds per hour.
Compared to this morning or afternoon, this result can only be described with one adjective: utterly disastrous!
At 11:50 p.m., all the anglers on the fishing boat packed up their lines, and everyone was asked to take their belongings back to the boat for safekeeping.
After all, the fishing boats are about to set sail, and most of the participants in this fishing competition are riding on a fishing boat for the first time. These fishing boats are quite different from other fishing boats or dinghys.
In addition, it's now midnight, and for the safety of the participants, all of them need to return to their cabins.
As for what they do after returning to their cabins, that's up to them to decide.
They might gather in small groups to chat, discuss what they learned that day, or check out the live stream to see what their next competition will be like.
It would be even better if we could just go to sleep now and recharge for the game tomorrow.
In any case, the first day of the competition is over for all the contestants.
