Chapter 616 The competition is coming to an end!
After quickly finishing two plates of food, Bai Yu wiped his mouth with a napkin and then went to wash the dishes.
He eats a lot, but the only downside is that there are a lot of dishes to wash. All the contestants and staff have to wash their own bowls and plates.
Even though Bai Yu is the boss, he still has to wash his own plates.
After finishing all that, only twenty minutes had passed, and he returned to the bow of the boat to continue fishing.
The fishing boat's lighting equipment was already on, making the entire sea surface as bright as day, just like daytime.
After all, Bai Yu and his twenty fishing boats had surrounded the sea platform in a circular formation.
Surrounding them were numerous other vessels, including work ships, broadcast ships, and supply ships that they had brought in for the competition.
These ships also need to have their lights on, illuminating the entire area of the sea.
Besides their ships, there were quite a few other vessels as well.
After all, this is a public fishing spot. Even if Bai Yu and his team come here for a competition, they won't say that others can't fish here.
On the contrary, they would prefer more boats to come here to fish, because that would put some pressure on the competitors.
So while they were competing, there were still quite a few fishing boats and fishing vessels around them, and they were also fishing.
Now that it's getting dark, they naturally need to light up the lights to add some brightness to this area of the sea.
Besides their ships, there was something even brighter: the sea platform in front of them.
While this thing is used for resource extraction, it also serves as a lighthouse, guiding passing ships and preventing them from colliding with it.
Under such lighting conditions, it's no different from fishing during the day.
Of course, one thing to note is that you need to adjust the angle when fishing, otherwise the lights will shine directly into your eyes, which is very harmful to your eyes.
Bai Yu was very careful in this regard; his fishing position was at the bow of the boat, which meant he was directly facing the platform at sea.
He found a relatively dimly lit angle and cast the bait into the water.
Even after more than twenty minutes, the resources here were still very abundant. Before long, Bai Yu caught his first fish.
He immediately lifted the rod to set the hook and successfully caught the fish that had taken the bait. However, this time the fish that took the bait was not very big; it seemed to weigh less than 20 pounds.
Bai Yu, who had been fishing here all afternoon, had caught fish even smaller than himself, but not many of them, and they were all barracuda.
However, this time the fish that took the bait was a fish weighing nearly 20 pounds, which should not be a barracuda, because barracudas rarely grow to 20 pounds.
There are many barracudas weighing around ten kilograms in the ocean, but this is almost their limit. To be precise, it's not their growth limit, but rather that once they reach this size, they are basically caught by humans and have no chance to grow any larger.
After all, barracuda are very ferocious sea fish, and fishing methods are not very effective in catching them, but fishing is much easier.
These guys are very greedy. As long as you have enough food, you can catch an endless supply of barracuda in one place.
The downside is that this type of fish isn't very valuable. Even if you catch a lot of barracuda while fishing at sea, you might not be able to break even.
But this is a fishing competition; value isn't important. The contestants are looking at the weight.
However, this time Bai Yu didn't catch a sea wolf fish. When he pulled the fish out of the water, he saw a green fish.
"Ghost-headed katana? These guys are out hunting again? That makes sense, it's already dark, they should definitely be out here."
Mahi-mahi, a type of sea fish with similar value and status to the barracuda, is an expert in small marine life, specializing in preying on small fish.
The mahi-mahi caught by Bai Yu was of a decent size, weighing 18.6 jin, which is not small for a mahi-mahi.
Most importantly, the mahi-mahi is not a lone wolf, and since humans built offshore platforms, it has often gathered near these platforms to forage for food.
Now that Bai Yu has caught a mahi-mahi, there must be quite a few more mahi-mahi here.
As for the tuna they caught in the afternoon, it's highly likely they're still there; the only question is whether they'll be able to catch them.
Bai Yu was lucky; he caught fish very frequently in the following fishing trips, and each time he caught a fish weighing less than ten pounds.
After all, the bait and hook he used were there, and even if small fish wanted to bite the hook, given their size, it would be quite impossible for them.
It wasn't until midnight, when the whistle blew to end the third day of the competition, that Bai Yu finally put away his fishing rod.
Yesterday I had other plans, so I fished until the early hours of the morning. Now that everything is back to normal, there will naturally be a time to get off work.
After all, staying up late is not good for your health, and Bai Yu believes that relying on several days and nights without sleep to compete for the championship is not a good idea.
If you want to increase your catch by fishing longer, Bai Yu has only one piece of advice for these people: get up early the next day and don't be late.
So at midnight, everyone has to pack up and leave to start preparing for the next day's competition.
Bai Yu packed up his fishing rod, stuffed it into his tackle bag, and placed it directly at the bow of the boat before heading towards the cabin.
He doesn't have time to rest yet; he still has something to do: take all the fish he just caught to the freezer, put them in their designated spots, and store them properly.
This matter is relatively simple. The only troublesome point is that there are quite a lot of people sending fish into the freezer now, and as everyone knows, the aisles in the ship's hold are quite narrow.
Especially since the cryogenic chamber is on the lower level, Bai Yu and his team need to go down from the deck level to reach the cryogenic chamber level.
In other words, the path down to the basement level is quite narrow, and if there are too many people, you'll have to queue.
Bai Yu started fishing at exactly twelve o'clock, but it was ten minutes later when he returned to his cabin.
Back in his cabin, he didn't have much time left. He grabbed his toiletries and headed to the washroom. In his haste, he finally made it back to the crew quarters before the lottery.
He quickly saw the direction of the fourth draw: northwest!
This draw is already the fourth direction, and the next fishing spot is also the fourth fishing spot. There are only five fishing spots in total for this competition, which means that the competition is already halfway through.
With two more fishing spots remaining, meaning two more days of competition, this competition will soon come to an end.
Bai Yu was quite satisfied with the first three days of the competition; at least in terms of fishing, his harvest was quite good.
He's not considering the reward for the Fish King for now. The biggest fish he's caught so far is only about 200 pounds, which is still a long way from Lin Yu's 300-pound bluefin tuna.
However, he can still compete for the championship. At least based on what he knows so far, he hasn't seen any player who can surpass him.
As long as there is no significant difference, Bai Yu still has a chance, and a very good chance at that.
After all, Bai Yu knows his own gains; his luck these past two days has been exceptionally good, almost excessively so.
If he can hold on for the next two days and his results aren't too disastrous, he has a very high chance of winning the championship.
