After lying on the chair for about ten minutes, resting with his eyes closed, Bai Yu prepared to continue fishing.
It was only 12:50, and there were still ten minutes before it was time to go fishing.
However, Bai Yu's fishing spot was too far from the main platform, so he had to go there in advance to avoid running out of time to fish.
For Bai Yu, every extra minute he has now means he could potentially catch another fish. If he loses a fish because he has a minute less, then...
He would be very upset if he missed out on a spot in the finals, and he certainly didn't want that to happen.
When Bai Yu arrived at his fishing spot, there were still a few minutes before the one o'clock fishing time. He could sit in the chair and wait for the fishing to start promptly at one o'clock.
A few minutes passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to start fishing. When Bai Yu saw others taking fishing rods and starting to fish, he also took his own fishing rod, baited it, and prepared to start fishing.
He was using the same fishing rod as in the morning, and he didn't even bother to change the bait. After all, his catch this morning was quite good, and the corn bait worked well, so there was no need to change it.
As Bai Yu baited the hook with corn kernels, he casually flicked the fishing rod and cast it out, the hook and bait hitting the water with a splash.
He then emptied a small handful of corn from the corn bag and threw it out, attracting more fish.
Everything was the same as in the morning, and his movements were incredibly smooth. If someone unfamiliar with Baiyu saw this, they might mistake him for a seasoned angler.
Bai Yu's fishing this afternoon seemed to have continued his good luck from this morning; he had only cast his line a short while ago when the float started to shake rapidly.
The key point is that this guy just trembles, just like a Parkinson's patient. The float just keeps moving and doesn't seem to be sinking at all.
In this situation, Bai Yu was in a dilemma. The float hadn't gone under, so should he lift the rod or not?
Is it small fish nibbling at the bait beneath the surface, or is a big fish teasing him?
If it's the former, with small fish nibbling at the bait, no matter how accurately he sets the hook, he won't be able to catch them.
After all, the bait he used was corn kernels, and corn kernels are very large; small fish can't eat corn.
If this were a big fish, and this guy was really messing with Bai Yu, if he made any rash moves before the float went under, he could easily scare the fish away.
Before Bai Yu could figure out whether to lift the rod or not, the float reacted first, and the float that was still shaking suddenly disappeared.
Upon seeing this scene, Bai Yu didn't hesitate at all. Since they had already gone black, it was time for him to make his move.
Bai Yu immediately lifted the fishing rod, and he could clearly feel the weight coming from it. The weight seemed quite heavy, at least much larger than the fish he had caught that morning.
Bai Yu was prepared to take this situation seriously.
After all, in Bai Yu's view, as long as a fish bites the hook, as long as he can catch it, then that thing belongs to him as an achievement.
Therefore, the bigger the fish that bites the hook, the more advantageous it is for him, and the better his performance will be.
In response, Bai Yu stood up from his fishing spot with his fishing rod to show his respect for the guy.
You should know that he fished all morning, and he did it sitting down the whole time, without ever standing up to operate the equipment.
Now, in order to catch this fish, he stood up from his chair, took a step to the right, and came to a place where there were no obstacles.
It should be noted that due to the large number of participants in this competition, Bai Yu was not too far away from all the people on both sides, only about four or five meters away.
The distance was far too close, especially considering that most of the competitors were using long fishing rods, often six or seven meters, or even eight or nine meters long.
With such a long fishing rod, you'll see another fishing rod appearing in front of you every now and then while you're fishing, which can be quite chaotic.
Therefore, Bai Yu had to be very careful in his actions during the fishing process. He stood up from his fishing spot, and no matter which way he went, it meant that he would be closer to another angler.
In this situation, Bai Yu had no choice but to brace the rod handle against his thigh and lift the rod as high as possible to prevent the fish from running to the right and disturbing the fisherman on the right.
Fortunately, although the fish that took the bait this time was bigger than the previous ones, its size was still very limited, at most around 20 pounds, which was still within the range that Baiyu could handle.
Sure enough, after seven or eight minutes, Bai Yu dragged the fish to the shore. A silver carp weighing over 20 kilograms also surfaced from below the water and was then scooped up by Bai Yu with a landing net.
In just ten minutes, he successfully gained over twenty pounds. How should I put it? That's pretty good efficiency. I hope he can maintain that level of performance in the future.
To be honest, Bai Yu's luck was really good today. Starting with this fish, he caught four more big fish weighing over 20 kilograms each, including three silver carp and one grass carp.
And it only took one hour, which means that Bai Yu successfully gained 100 pounds in just one hour.
That's incredibly efficient. If he can maintain that level of efficiency for the next four hours, then his spot in the finals is practically guaranteed.
Over the next four hours, from 2 PM to 6 PM, although Bai Yu did not reach 100 jin per hour, she still managed to eat more than 50 jin per hour.
As the time approached 6 p.m., everyone stopped fishing at the same time, audible through the organizer's loudspeaker.
Today's elimination rounds are over. The next step is to determine the scores of all the contestants, and then the top 25 will qualify for the finals.
The organizers provided ample staff for the weighing process, and Bai Yu's results were available in just a few minutes.
The first day of the elimination rounds lasted eight hours. Bai Yu's score was 501.3 jin, ranking fourth among all the more than 200 contestants, and successfully earned a spot in the finals.
As for the first place winner of this elimination round, it was someone Bai Yu never expected: Li Shuang. He caught 789.8 jin in eight hours, just a hair's breadth away from reaching 100 jin per hour.
With a score of over 700, he secured a spot in the finals with a commanding lead.
