"Come on, let me count to three, and let's give it our all!"
"One, two, three, go!"
"Alright, alright, put it on, start the machine and begin hoisting."
Under Bai Yu's command, the three of them worked together to hoist the nearly two-meter-long tuna up.
Although the use of electronic or mechanical equipment is prohibited in this competition, the crane used to lift tuna onto the deck is not included.
After all, there are some very large tuna here, some weighing as much as 700 or 800 pounds.
Tuna of this size would be very difficult to load onto a boat by hand without the help of machinery.
As for large fish like tuna that need to be shot, if the fish cannot be brought onto the deck for processing in time, not to mention whether the quality of the fish meat will be contaminated by its own blood.
The blood from the fish alone, produced through hunting, is enough to attract a large number of predators, who then devour it all.
Therefore, in this case, the use of mechanical lifting for tuna is not prohibited.
After getting the guy onto the deck, Bai Yu took a dismantling knife and slashed at him, draining all the blood from his body.
As for the internal organs, we'll skip that for now.
It's not that Bai Yu used tricks to increase his competition score, but rather that not removing the internal organs is a rule-compliant behavior in this competition.
As for the reason, it is said that tuna has economic value in their local area, but Bai Yu doesn't know much about what it is used for.
Anyway, if we were in China, the way to process tuna caught would always be to bleed it and remove its internal organs; that's the standard procedure.
Even if you want to keep the tuna's internal organs, they are usually preserved separately, rather than kept inside the tuna.
However, since this rule exists in the competition, Bai Yu wouldn't ignore it and foolishly throw away his internal organs. If he were to fall just a tiny bit short of the champion, he would have nowhere to cry.
After processing the tuna and sending it to the freezer, Baiyu temporarily stopped fishing.
It wasn't that Bai Yu didn't want to fish anymore, but it was getting late; it was almost one o'clock, and they should have lunch.
In their group of Ocean University F4, the task of cooking usually falls to Bai Yu. Despite being an Olympic champion and Lu Sheng's boss, he still has to cook for Lu Sheng and the others on this fishing boat.
As for Li Shuang and Wang Hai, the two brothers weren't idle either. Lu Sheng had a big fish waiting for them, and they had to help Lu Sheng fish.
How to describe their luck? It's only been a little over an hour, less than two hours, since they arrived in this area.
They have already caught a bluefin tuna, and are currently fishing for another large fish.
Their efficiency is already very good compared to all the teams.
According to the official data report, there are currently 164 teams, but only 12 have started operating, including Bai Yu's team.
Bai Yu went to the kitchen of the fishing boat, where he first cooked a large pot of rice, and then took out the large octopus he had caught earlier.
To be honest, Snake has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and the giant octopus he's riding is really good; it's just the right size and tender.
Octopus in this condition is excellent; it's great whether grilled or stir-fried.
As for Bai Yu's choice, stir-frying is undoubtedly the best option, as stir-fried seafood is the most delicious.
Bai Yu only took an hour to prepare lunch, and he had already prepared three dishes and a soup.
One stir-fried octopus, one steamed sea bream, one stir-fried bok choy, and one seaweed and egg soup.
However, when Bai Yu finished preparing lunch and called for people to eat, only Snake and the cameraman were called in; none of Wang Hai and the other two came in.
"Sneaker, where are Ahai and the other two? I've already prepared the food, why aren't they eating?"
"Bai Yu, Wang Hai asked me to tell you that he wants you to eat quickly. The three of them are fishing. After you finish eating, go and relieve them, and then leave some food for them."
Bai Yu, you guys are really lucky! Three of you caught fish at the same time, and they were all big ones. This is such a rare opportunity! Do you have some kind of secret?
Snake relayed Wang Hai's message to Bai Yu, and also praised Bai Yu and his friends for their good luck and good fortune in catching fish.
While Snake was speaking, the cameraman on their fishing boat took a plate filled with rice and some vegetables, and walked out of the restaurant with the plate.
As he walked out, he said something in English to Bai Yu, but unfortunately, Bai Yu didn't understand it.
"Sneaker, what did that guy just say?"
He said your cooking was delicious and thanked you for your hospitality.
"Oh, he's quite polite."
With Wang Hai relaying Snake's message, Bai Yu's eating speed increased considerably.
In just five minutes, Bai Yu finished eating, wiped his mouth, and walked out of the cabin to stand in front of Lu Sheng.
"Ah Sheng, what's going on? You've been fishing for that big fish for so long? It's been almost two hours, how big does it have to be to be fished for that long?"
If Bai Yu remembered correctly, while he was fishing for that bluefin tuna, Lu Sheng caught a fish, and then it took him about an hour to cook.
In the more than one hour that followed, he still hadn't caught the fish.
"Brother Yu, what are you saying? This is my second fish. The first one was a bigeye tuna, not too big, only about 200 pounds, and it has already been sent to the freezer."
Who knows what situation I was in? Then a second fish was brought out, which made me so tired, and I was also hungry and exhausted.
"By the way, Fisherman, have you finished eating? Hurry up and fish for me for a while, let me rest a bit."
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he shoved the fishing rod into Bai Yu's hand without saying another word, and then walked towards the cabin to eat.
Bai Yu had just finished lunch when he turned around and got back to fishing.
In his perception, the fish that Lu Sheng had just caught was no small fish either; it must have weighed at least a hundred pounds.
However, it's limited to around 100 jin (50 kg), and it won't exceed 200 jin (100 kg) at most.
It's normal for Bai Yu to lose a fight against a bluefin tuna that's nearly two meters long. But if it's a big fish that only weighs about 100 pounds, then don't blame Bai Yu for bullying the weak.
As soon as Lu Sheng left, Bai Yu grabbed his fishing rod and started lashing it wildly. He vented all the frustration he had suffered at the hands of the bluefin tuna that morning on this big fish.
Listening to the sound of the fishing line cutting through the water and the sound of the fishing rod cutting through the wind, Bai Yu felt relaxed and refreshed.
By frantically jerking the rod, you can put pressure on the fish that has taken the bait, and also release the fisherman's own inner pressure. It's a win-win situation!
