"Hiccup, hiccup, Ah Hai, the boxed meals provided by the organizers are pretty good, but I don't know how much they cost. I'll ask someone later, let's have these for dinner tonight too."
After finishing the last boxed meal, Bai Yu let out a deep burp, so loud it was almost like thunder.
“Okay, Brother Yu, if you ask me, let’s go ask them where they ordered the boxed meals. Let’s just go to their store and order our food. I want to eat the braised pork. That meat is so delicious, it melts in your mouth.”
“That makes sense. Your suggestion is excellent. I’ll send a message to Uncle Deng and ask him to help me find out where this boxed meal was ordered.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lao Deng, asking him to help inquire about the situation. Then they roughly tallied up their harvest that morning.
"Ahai, half the day is already over, and there are only a few hours left this afternoon. Are you confident you can get a good ranking?"
"Absolutely, Brother Yu. Let me just say this: I can't say much about what will happen in the next two days, but for today, getting into the top ten is no problem at all."
"Hey, buddy, you're so confident. Tell me in detail."
Wang Hai then told Bai Yu about his fishing experience that morning. Starting from the first cast, he had caught a total of ten fish that day.
We started fishing at nine o'clock and continued until noon when we packed up for lunch, a total of three hours.
In such a long time, I only caught ten fish, which is a little over three per hour. That's not a lot.
However, the ten fish that Wang Hai caught had one thing in common: they were all quite large. None of them were smaller than ten pounds, and the largest was a thirty-pound mandarin fish.
Wang Hai's total harvest this morning was about 200 jin (100 kg), which is why he ate so much at noon today, since he had expended a lot of energy.
As for Wang Hai, his catch was much larger than Wang Hai's, but the quality was not as good. The biggest fish he caught was the second silver carp.
Besides, there weren't many large fish weighing over ten pounds; most were small fish weighing less than ten pounds.
As for the total weight, it's about the same as Wang Hai's; his quantity makes up for the lack of quality.
Bai Yu caught more than 20 fish in one morning. At his rate, catching so many fish in three hours can definitely be called a continuous catch.
That's why Bai Yu was the person who appeared in the organizer's live broadcast room for the longest time today, even more than Lao Deng, the head of Tianyuan.
After discussing their catch, the two prepared to continue fishing.
Although the organizers did not specify whether there would be a lunch break or that fishing was prohibited at noon, anglers who wanted to achieve good results in this competition should naturally make the most of their time to fish.
For them, every minute and every second is a chance for a fish to bite, and none of it can be wasted.
Many anglers even eat while sitting at their fishing spots, with their fishing rods on their laps. When a fish bites, they immediately reach for the fishing rod instead of worrying about their lunchboxes.
Bai Yu believes that the fishing spirit of these anglers is commendable, but not recommended.
After all, he doesn't recommend doing two things at once, otherwise you'll easily end up accomplishing nothing. If you're going to do something, you should focus on one thing at a time.
It was also the passion of these anglers that inspired the Bai brothers; they weren't the type to lag behind.
So they returned to their respective fishing spots and prepared to start their afternoon fishing session.
After all, the most indispensable thing for a professional athlete is the competitive spirit, that determination to compete and win the championship.
If, before the competition began, Bai Yu wasn't particularly concerned about the outcome and was taking a wait-and-see approach, then...
At midday, feeling the enthusiasm of the other anglers for the competitive fishing spots and their desire for the championship, Bai Yu's competitive spirit was successfully aroused.
Previously, Bai Yu always regarded fishing as a leisure activity, a way to relax and earn some pocket money, but he did not regard it as a real sport.
That's why Bai Yu didn't care about the results of this competition and always had an indifferent attitude.
But now, he feels something different from the other contestants. He realized that he was too narrow-minded before and didn't consider things thoroughly enough.
Now he wants to give it his all for the results. Even if he can't win the championship, he should at least get into the top three or the top ten.
As Bai Yu baited his hook with a fish, he cast it into the black pit and began his afternoon fishing session.
Baiyu did not make any changes to the fishing rods used in the afternoon session; it was still the same equipment as before, and even the fishing location was the same as in the morning.
However, the fish were not biting as well as they were in the morning. As mentioned before, Bai Yu caught more than 20 fish in one morning, which was practically a one-fish-a-day catch.
However, since lunchtime, Bai Yu has returned to his fishing spot. He has been casting his line for half an hour, but he hasn't caught a single fish.
Not to mention the fish, even his fishing float didn't move at all; it just floated quietly on the surface of the water.
Although Bai Yu had heard that the fish in the midday sun weren't very easy to catch, that was only when the weather was hot, because the fish didn't seem to be eating much due to the weather.
But it's late November now, the start of winter has already passed, and the temperature has long since dropped. There's no reason why it shouldn't be good to fish at midday.
The key point is that he was the only one who waited for half an hour without catching a fish, while the fishermen on his left and right sides all caught fish.
Well, the situation has reversed this morning. In the morning, the whitebait were catching fish one after another, while the anglers on the sides were catching relatively few.
However, in the afternoon, Bai Yu waited for a long time without any fish biting his hook, while the other anglers on both sides started catching fish first.
That's absurd. Could it be that the fish have all moved to other places at this time, no longer coming to Bai Yu's spot, because they know it's dangerous here?
Fortunately, this situation didn't last too long. After about forty minutes, when Bai Yu was almost asleep,
Suddenly, Bai Yu felt the fishing rod in his hand move slightly, and it was moving towards the black pit, as if trying to pull the fishing rod out of Bai Yu's hand.
Bai Yu, who was dozing off, was suddenly startled awake. He grabbed his fishing rod and jerked it upwards, lifting it up like that.
As for the specifics of the fishing rod, Bai Yu had no idea what was going on; it was just his instinctive reaction.
However, it was precisely this instinctive reaction of Bai Yu that successfully allowed him to keep the fishing rod and the troublemaker.
While Bai Yu was still a little dazed, he felt weight on the fishing rod again, and he immediately lifted the rod up a little more.
He firmly held the fishing rod against the pull, determined not to let it slip from his hand.
"Huh? What the hell is going on? They caught a fish?"
Because of this, Bai Yu finally regained some composure and firmly grasped the fishing rod.
After feeling the weight on the fishing rod, Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly, and then he picked up the fishing rod and began his operation.
In his opinion, the fish that took the bait wasn't very big, weighing at most about ten pounds.
For Bai Yu, who had been fishing all morning, catching a fish of this weight was a piece of cake.
He didn't even need to stand up from the fishing platform to catch this fish; he could catch it while still sitting down.
He learned this method today, partly from the fishermen on both sides and partly from his own understanding. Bai Yu has a very good aptitude for fishing.
Bai Yu braced the rod handle against his thigh, then began to lift the rod upwards with all his might. Through Bai Yu's exertion and the rod's own rebound force,
The fish inevitably moved towards the shore. Although it tried its best to resist, it was no match for the combined force of the white fishing rod and the white fish.
He quickly caught a seven or eight-pound mandarin fish and put it in the fish basket.
Bai Yu spent the entire afternoon like this: as long as the fish wasn't too big, he would sit and reel it in; if it was a larger one, he would stand up and drag it to another spot to work on it.
Overall, it went very smoothly, and without any surprises, it was 5 p.m., the end of the first day of the main competition.
Next comes tallying the day's catch. In this competition, the daily catch must be tallied, and then all the fish are hauled away and processed.
Otherwise, if these fish are kept in the fish basket, some of them may not survive more than three days.
