Bai Yu didn't hide anything from the result and told the other contestants at the bow of the boat directly.
This immediately excited them, and their whole demeanor changed.
The other contestants are not newbies; they are longtime fans of Baiyu and have a good understanding of croakers, including schools of croakers.
After all, judging from the videos Bai Yu has posted before, there have been quite a few videos featuring croakers. He has encountered schools of croakers while beachcombing, while fishing at sea, and even while working at sea with fishing boats.
In my past experiences, all the schools of croaker I've encountered have one thing in common: they are all very large, and when they appear, they are weighing at least tens of thousands of kilograms.
Moreover, there are large croakers among them. In a school of fish, there are quite a few that are meters long, or even super croakers that are close to two meters long.
A single croaker of this size can weigh tens or even hundreds of kilograms.
Most importantly, the larger the croaker, the more valuable it is.
Which angler doesn't love catching big fish? What if it's a valuable big fish?
Then the fishing expert will show you what a fishing fanatic is!
If you encounter a school of croakers during the competition, you're doomed. These anglers will show you what true freaking is right in front of you.
It's a win-win situation that allows anglers to experience catching giant fish, improve their performance, and catch very valuable croakers!
Then the other players who were fishing at the bow of the boat unleashed their ultimate move: complete madness!
Seeing that the group seemed a bit off, Bai Yu silently took a few steps back. He was now filled with doubt, wondering if telling them that they had encountered a school of fish was actually a good thing.
Never mind all that, he should continue fishing.
Bai Yu then returned to his fishing spot, took another squid from the fish box, hooked it on his hook, and started fishing.
The reason for replacing mackerel with squid is that squid is a better bait for fishing than mackerel.
However, in terms of cost, squid is more expensive than mackerel.
Although Bai Yu and his team provide bait for the fishing competition, they also have to consider the cost, so the number of squid provided to each contestant is limited.
Let's put it this way: each contestant's daily bait ratio is two boxes of mackerel bait, totaling forty catties, and twenty catties of squid bait, which is about thirty squid.
The one above is a large bait, which can be used to catch big fish.
As for the shrimp and small squid that are usually used, there is no limit to the amount. As long as you don't waste them, you can use as much as you want every day.
Now that they've encountered a school of croakers, Baiyu is naturally preparing to change his bait to see if he can catch any big fish in the school.
He doesn't require catching a croaker weighing over 100 pounds; anything over 50 pounds would be fine. His requirements aren't high.
His second cast didn't keep him waiting long either; the rod tip soon bent under his watchful eye.
Bai Yu reacted just as quickly to the fishing rod's reaction, jerking the rod upwards sharply.
Whether it was because Bai Yu's fishing skills had become much more refined, or because the fish that had taken the bait were too greedy, he managed to keep the fish alive once again when he lifted the rod to set it.
Bai Yu then reeled in the fishing line twice to gauge the size of the fish that had taken the bait.
He was quite lucky this time; the fish that took the bait was a bit bigger than the last one, weighing about twenty pounds.
Bai Yu showed no mercy to this large fish, and began to operate it even more aggressively with his fishing rod.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to catch it as soon as possible.
Bai Yu was fishing at a depth of about 60 meters. When he pulled back 30 meters, the fish was still putting up a fairly strong resistance.
However, once it entered within thirty meters, the fish's resistance decreased dramatically, and its strength instantly diminished.
Upon hearing this reaction, Bai Yu understood that the fish that had taken the bait was almost dead; the change in water pressure had taken its life.
Sure enough, after Bai Yu dragged it to the surface of the sea, a croaker with its mouth wide open appeared on the surface of the sea and floated motionless.
It was clear that this croaker's life had come to an end!
Although the croaker was lost, Bai Yu caught a fish and his score increased by more than 20 jin, successfully breaking through 100 jin in total.
Well, not long after the competition started, Bai Yu's score had already exceeded 100 jin, which is truly an amazing achievement.
And that's not all; the schools of fish on the seabed haven't left or dispersed yet.
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the Nth fish. Eventually, all fourteen anglers on the fishing boat came out and joined in the festivities.
Unfortunately, those who got up late were ultimately at a disadvantage, falling behind the other contestants on the very first day of the competition.
The fishermen at Baiyu were catching fish one after another, mostly croaker, with a few grouper and sea bream as well.
In terms of resource distribution, the usual catch in their current area should be grouper and sea bream.
As for the croakers being caught now, they just happened to come here and were attracted by the fishermen's bait.
With the help of the fish, all the players had a very high catch rate. Under this high catch rate, all the players also triggered a new state: focus!
For all anglers, this state is triggered whenever they encounter a fishing spot that allows them to catch fish one after another and have a good catch.
Once this state is triggered, all anglers will become completely absorbed in fishing, oblivious to everything else.
No matter what happens, even if it's raining knives from the sky, nothing can stop them from fishing.
The same was true in this competition; all the contestants present, tempted by the continuous success of the fishing, completely forgot about breakfast.
Yes, they don't even eat breakfast. Even Bai Yu, because he was fishing, didn't eat breakfast.
Of course, Bai Yu wouldn't skimp on himself. Even if he skipped breakfast, he carried plenty of snacks with him, so he wouldn't go hungry.
This snack wasn't just for him; the organizers provided snacks for all the contestants. However, Bai Yu was particularly well-prepared, having packed a bunch of snacks in his pocket early in the morning, enough for him to eat.
The school of fish didn't disappear until around 9 or 10 a.m.
After fishing for nearly three hours, Bai Yu's catch was naturally quite good.
Judging from the quantity of fish caught, he caught about thirty fish, with each fish weighing about ten kilograms on average.
Adding to the red snapper he caught that morning, his catch in one morning exceeded 400 jin (200 kg). As for whether it reached 500 jin (250 kg), that's not clear yet.
However, Bai Yu was already very satisfied with this, after all, it was not yet ten o'clock, and there was still some time left, so he could continue fishing for a while.
However, he needs to rest for a while now, otherwise he will soon be unable to lift his hand.
Strictly speaking, his catch today wasn't that much, but the frequency of catching fish was very high, and each fish that bit the hook wasn't small.
Even a fish weighing over ten kilograms would have a slight impact on him under such circumstances, as he had fished for over thirty times in a row, putting all his effort into reeling in each cast. This was extremely taxing on him.
And it wasn't just his arms that were sore; his lower back was also very sore.
Anyone who's ever fished knows that whether you're fishing for freshwater or saltwater fish, when you're tug-of-war with the fish, besides using your arms, there's another area where you need to exert force, and it's a very important and crucial area: your waist.
This is an area even more important than the arms. Fishing also requires the coordination of the waist and hips. If the strength of the waist is used well, it can save anglers a lot of effort.
But now, after fishing for more than three hours, Bai Yu's hands and back are sore, and everything is sore!
