Bai Yu watched with great envy as Lu Sheng fished, especially since he was fishing for freshwater fish.
Baiyu doesn't fish for freshwater fish very often, and catching big fish is even rarer. If you catch a giant sea fish weighing over 100 pounds, that's just average for Baiyu.
However, since he caught freshwater fish, it was much more attractive to him.
The commotion caused by the land-based creatures was particularly significant, with large splashes of water erupting on the surface, creating a spectacular water curtain.
And then there's the degree of bending in Lu Sheng's fishing rod? It's almost bent into a full moon, which is really a bit too exaggerated.
Combining these two points, let alone white fishermen, any angler would want to try fishing for a while and see the situation.
Such a scene is just as tempting to a fisherman as a pervert encountering a miniskirt and black stockings.
"Hold on, hold on, Ah Sheng, hold on! If it really comes down to it, let some fishing line out of the way. We're not in a rush. We'll slowly lure it out and wear it down!"
Bai Yu had already stood up from her seat and was cheering Lu Sheng on while looking at the screen.
Although Lu Sheng could neither see Bai Yu's performance nor hear Bai Yu's cheers at this moment, he still did it anyway.
"That's right, just as Mr. Bai said, the most important thing for contestant number seven now is to persevere and let the opponent let out a little line when it's time to let out some."
"If all else fails, we can still get moving. As long as the other fish can't break the line, we still have a chance. If we can manage to tame this guy, then this big fish will become contestant number seven's prize!"
Zhang Tao also offered his own evaluation.
When it comes to catching big fish, fishing skills are both unimportant and somewhat important; it mainly depends on how well you perform in the moment and the strength of your equipment.
As for fishing rods, Lu Sheng's rods are definitely strong enough. He uses giant rods that are seven or eight meters long, and each rod costs around a thousand yuan.
The only thing that's a bit worrying is the fishing line he's using.
Bai Yu wasn't quite sure how many pounds of tension the fishing line Lu Sheng was using was; he couldn't possibly tell just from the footage.
So all Bai Yu could do was pray for Lu Sheng. If he could hold on, they would be able to see what the big fish looked like.
As time ticked by, five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The previous scenes in the live stream were extremely dangerous.
But five minutes passed, and the scene remained the same as before; the fishing rod was still bent at an exaggerated degree, but the unpleasant scene did not occur.
As for the water splashing everywhere, it has subsided. The water surface is still rippling, but at least there are no large splashes anymore.
At this moment, based on the appearance of the large fish shown in the video, it appears that the fish that took the bait this time was a grass carp.
"Almost there, almost there! We'll catch this guy soon, just hang in there a little longer!"
Looking at the situation on the screen, Zhang Tao muttered something to himself, appearing somewhat nervous.
"Brother Zhang, why do I feel like you're even more excited than I am? Given my relationship with Ah Sheng, it's normal for me to get excited, but what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Zhang Tao's condition, Bai Yu asked with a hint of curiosity.
"How could I not be excited? This is a huge fish, possibly a giant bluefin bream, and it was caught during a competition, and I'm the commentator for this competition!"
As one of the witnesses, how could I not be excited! You know, in previous competitions, it's extremely rare to catch such a big fish; this kind of opportunity is incredibly precious.
"Oh, I see. No wonder you were even more excited than me."
"Hey, to be honest, Brother Zhang, we're getting really bored sitting in this commentary booth. We're not far from Ah Sheng, it's just a short walk from the booth. What do you think, should we...?"
Bai Yu watched the live stream and coaxed Zhang Tao from beside her.
The best place to watch others fish is definitely right there, right next to the fishermen.
Bai Yu and Zhang Tao are currently at the match venue, but they are acting as commentators, which means they need to be in the commentary room to provide commentary and cannot be there to watch the match live.
Even if they were on site, they could walk a few steps out of the commentary room and get to Lu Sheng's side to watch him fish up close.
They didn't do that simply because of their professional ethics.
However, this does not prevent Bai Yu from trying to seduce Zhang Tao. What if the latter is swayed by him and then leads him out of the commentary room?
Unfortunately, Zhang Tao's professional ethics were still very good, and no matter what Bai Yu said, he remained unmoved.
"Mr. Bai, we're still working. It wouldn't be right for us to leave our posts without permission, since we've all been paid and we have to follow the rules."
Well, Zhang Tao just blatantly admitted that they had been paid. If you're going to make money, then make it openly and honestly.
Then the two of them watched from the commentary room as Lu Sheng caught the giant bluefish. They only breathed a sigh of relief when he dragged the giant bluefish to the shore.
To watch Lu Sheng fish for this giant bluefish, the two of them, along with the viewers in the live stream, watched with bated breath and trepidation.
Especially when the giant blue fish was fiercely resisting, and Lu Sheng was also fighting back against it, the scene was incredibly dangerous. Everyone was afraid that the fishing rod or line would break at any moment.
Now that they saw the giant bluefish had been caught, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After the giant blue leopard came ashore, the popularity of the live broadcast room reached a new peak, and the atmosphere of the audience at the scene became much more enthusiastic.
After all, this was the biggest catch of the day, and it was caught little by little in front of all these people.
Now that this giant blue leopard has come ashore, the current rankings can be re-evaluated.
Keep in mind that it's been less than an hour since the afternoon session started, and in that short time, many of the other contestants haven't even made a move yet, and he's already caught a giant bluefish.
Just this one fish was enough to boost Lu Sheng's score by dozens of pounds, propelling him straight to the top.
After all, judging from the situation this morning, a score of 200 jin is already among the top.
Lu Sheng's score in the morning was already over 160 jin, and with the addition of several dozen jin, he has already broken through 200 jin and is heading straight for 250 jin.
Of course, only the audience at the scene and online were really excited about this giant green fish's success; the other contestants seemed much calmer.
The competition isn't over yet, and this is only the first day. There's still one more day of competition. Even though we're currently behind...
For the other contestants, they still have a chance to turn things around, and they can still dream about winning the championship.
Fishing is never about skill, but about luck, and luck is such an elusive thing that no one can really explain it.
Even Bai Yu, a player with extraordinary luck, can only passively accept his luck value, rather than making his own choices.
As time went by, the contestants began to see results, and everyone's scores steadily improved.
Meanwhile, the size of the fish caught is also increasing. For example, they only caught a fish weighing 20 kilograms in the morning, but after the giant bluefish was brought ashore in the afternoon, other large fish of different sizes were also brought ashore one after another.
Just as Bai Yu and Zhang Tao were watching, they saw that Master Deng, Wang Hai, and others had also made big profits.
However, the fish they caught were not giants; they were only fish weighing forty or fifty pounds, which were slightly smaller than the giant bluefish.
Because of the presence of these big fish, all the anglers' scores improved quite quickly in the afternoon session.
By 6 p.m., the afternoon fishing session had ended, marking the conclusion of the first day of the competition.
At this point, the staff arranged by the organizers also came on stage to tally the scores of all the contestants.
The venue for their competition this time was, after all, a fishpond where they were fishing, and all the fish they caught had a purpose.
Either find a place to raise them, or take them to the market to sell; the fishpond owner has already made all the arrangements.
Just as the competition was declared over, Bai Yu and Zhang Tao walked out of the commentary room. Their goals were very similar, and they headed straight for the fishing spot of contestant number seven.
They were going to check out the giant bluefish that Lu Sheng had caught, to see its size and weight, and to take some group photos as a souvenir.
"Ah Sheng, you did a great job today. You didn't let our company down. If you can win the championship this time, I'll reward you handsomely on behalf of the company!"
Bai Yu arrived at Lu Sheng's fishing spot and patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder with great satisfaction.
"Brother Fisherman, I was just lucky. It's only because you didn't participate that you were able to catch a giant bluefish. If you had participated, with your luck, you would definitely have been able to catch one too."
"Hahaha, I love hearing that. Alright, I won't waste any more time with your nonsense. I came here to check on the giant bluefish. Let's lend a hand and get this fish basket up. Brother Zhang, come on over, give me a hand."
"Come on, the staff are all here. Let's hurry up and get to work so we can have dinner sooner."
Then Bai Yu and the others started working. They had a very high staffing level. In addition to Bai Yu, Lu Sheng, and Zhang Tao, there were three other staff members helping out.
There were six grown men on their side, and even with everyone working together, it took them quite a while to finally pull the fish basket up.
Even after they managed to pull them up, Bai Yu and the others were still in a bit of a mess.
Despite having been in the fish basket for several hours, this giant bluefish still had plenty of energy and was struggling wildly inside.
The water level at this bank is very shallow, and the bank itself is muddy. As this thing struggles, it splashes up huge amounts of muddy water.
Then Bai Yu and the others were drenched in mud from head to toe, and everyone looked extremely disheveled, as if they had just gone through a major battle.
A dozen minutes later, Lu Sheng's results were tallied. He had a total harvest of 537.6 jin for the day, of which the giant green snake weighed 92.3 jin, just a little short of 100 jin.
It was also because this giant bluefish was too troublesome to weigh. Even though it had already come ashore, it was still unwilling to settle down and wanted to find a way to survive and return to the fishpond.
They spent more time weighing the fish, and it wasn't until after 6:30 that they left the competition area to find a place to eat.
