Bai Yu didn't know much about how Bai's father would rate the lunch, but he and Wang Hai had eaten quite a lot at noon.
After lunch, he also took a stroll around the reservoir to find out about other people's harvest.
During his stroll, he encountered a large number of people in society who recognized him, but it was safe to say that almost everyone knew him.
After all, Sanya is his home base, his company, and the province and city he represents when he goes out to compete is always Sanya, Hainan Province.
His fame here is undeniable; there are simply too many people who know him.
After learning more about him, Bai Yu began to regret her decision. It wasn't because so many people recognized him, but also because countless people wanted to take photos with him.
According to his understanding, in just one morning, two people caught fish weighing nearly 100 pounds.
It was a 100-pound fish! He arrived here early in the morning, around 8 a.m. He was either the first or one of the first three to arrive.
Even so, after fishing all morning, the biggest fish he caught was only a silver carp weighing a little over 20 pounds; he didn't catch a single one weighing more than 30 pounds.
But other anglers are fishing for fish weighing not only over 30 pounds, but also nearly 100 pounds.
This is something Bai Yu really envies; he also wants to catch a freshwater fish weighing nearly 100 pounds.
After all, he had caught far too many big fish in the sea, ranging from a hundred pounds to over a thousand pounds, all of which were in his catch record.
However, his record in freshwater fish is not very high. It seems that the largest fish he has ever caught is only a few dozen kilograms, and he has never caught one that weighs more than 100 kilograms.
Besides the fact that it's not easy to encounter large freshwater fish weighing over 100 pounds, it might also be related to his fishing skills; he's really not very good at catching freshwater fish.
After wandering around the reservoir for a while, Bai Yu returned to his fishing spot to continue fishing.
After he returned, he didn't ask a single question about whether he had eaten lunch properly. He simply picked up his fishing rod and prepared to go fishing.
He refused to believe it; he was determined to catch a fish weighing 100 pounds, or at least 70 or 80 pounds.
However, when it comes to fishing, it's not that you can catch whatever kind of fish you want; there's a huge element of luck involved.
If you're lucky, you can catch all kinds of fish, but if you're unlucky, you might not catch anything at all.
Bai Yu had pretty good luck today, but that only applied to catching ordinary freshwater fish; it didn't have much to do with catching giant fish.
He fished for an entire afternoon, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., for four hours, but still didn't catch a single fish weighing over 40 pounds.
That's right, Bai Yu's results have been updated, with the largest fish increasing from over 20 jin to over 30 jin, but that's all.
As for Bai's father and Uncle Sun standing beside him, they had also caught big fish before, and judging from the appearance, it was a very large one.
However, because the fish was too big, they were unable to reel it in; it simply snapped the fishing line and escaped.
A big fish took the bait, but it was as if it hadn't come at all. The fish simply waved its sleeve and left without a trace.
Although they didn't manage to catch any big fish, Bai's father and Uncle Sun still got to experience the thrill of pulling a large fish out of the water.
Unlike Bai Yu, who hadn't caught a fish weighing more than 40 pounds all day, he hadn't experienced that feeling of pulling force.
As five o'clock arrived, the first day of the recreational competition came to an end, and the fish catch counting began.
This was something that everyone present was very interested in, especially those who had done well; everyone wanted to know if they could win the 1,000 yuan bonus.
Although the prize money isn't much, it's definitely better to receive it than to not receive it at all.
Even Bai Yu, the investor, wanted to get that thousand yuan.
So during the weighing process, Bai Yu kept staring at the weighing information. Even after seeing his score, he didn't leave the scene but continued to observe from the spot.
He didn't leave until three people surpassed his score, then he prepared to go home for dinner.
Today, a total of 5,000 yuan was given out in the entire entertainment competition. In addition to the top three people each receiving 3,000 yuan, Bai Yu also decided to give 1,000 yuan to the two people who caught big fish.
The two people who caught fish weighing around 100 pounds were the same two contestants from this morning; there were no other people among them.
Besides these five people, the remaining anglers also didn't go home empty-handed. As long as they caught more than four fish, each angler could take home at least one fish.
If it's any less, then there's nothing we can do. After all, the contract between Baiyu and the reservoir owner stipulates that half of the fish caught must belong to the owner.
Under these conditions, the remaining catch is what Bai Yu and his family can freely dispose of.
However, Bai Yu and his friends couldn't just let the fishermen fish in the reservoir for free; at the very least, they would charge them for a catch.
In that case, whoever fishes in the reservoir will have to catch at least four fish to be able to take one home.
Based on today's fishing experience, Bai Hao decided to add another prize to this recreational competition: anyone who catches a fish weighing over 80 pounds, regardless of how many they catch in a day, will receive a reward of 1,000 yuan per fish.
Judging from today's situation, there are indeed large fish weighing 100-200 kilograms in this reservoir, but the number is definitely not large.
Even if some people still manage to catch big fish later, the number probably won't be too large, so paying tens of thousands more for free fishing is still acceptable.
Furthermore, increasing the chances of winning awards will help motivate anglers to fish more actively and allow them to focus more on fishing.
Bai Yu's harvest today was quite good. Although he did not receive the reward of 1,000 yuan, he had been busy in the water all day and caught about 200 jin of fish.
Although we caught a lot of fish today, most of them were not very big. Except for a few that weighed more than ten pounds, the rest were all under ten pounds.
Even so, after seeing the weight of his catch, Bai Yu had a thought: if he continued fishing like this, he might not only avoid losing money in this recreational competition, but could actually make a profit.
After all, he only spent 200,000 yuan to rent this reservoir for twenty days, but there were at least 150 or 160 anglers fishing at the reservoir today. Even if they didn't fish the whole time, and many left after fishing for a while,
However, on average, each person's fish catch was around 30 to 40 catties, and today's catch exceeded 5,000 catties.
Even if half of it goes to Liu Bo, there will still be two or three thousand catties left. If the situation continues like this for the next nineteen days, he can get fifty or sixty thousand catties of fish.
The fish caught in the reservoir are of high quality, and the price is also not low. In addition, there are a lot of mandarin fish, topmouth culter, and freshwater perch in the reservoir, and the prices of these fish are also much higher.
If we take a middle value for the catch, ten yuan per kilogram shouldn't be too expensive, considering they're fish from a reservoir.
If we calculate it this way, a catch of 50,000 to 60,000 catties of fish could be sold for 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.
Even if he gives out 10,000 yuan in bonuses every day, it will only amount to 200,000 yuan in 20 days. Adding the rent, it will only amount to 400,000 yuan, leaving a considerable amount of money.
Bai Yu was somewhat taken aback after receiving this result.
After all, he organized this entertainment competition mainly to give himself something to do; he didn't want to be idle at home every day.
He genuinely didn't intend to make money, but the current outcome is somewhat different from what he initially expected.
Perhaps he's overthinking it, and that he only caught so many fish today because he was lucky. As time goes on and many fish are caught in the reservoir, his daily catch may decrease.
Perhaps this is the right way to think?
Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, Bai Yu doesn't care too much about the result. If he loses, he loses; if he makes money, it's fine too. He can accept either outcome.
All he wants now is to catch a giant freshwater fish within these twenty days, preferably one that weighs over 100 pounds.
Any kind is fine, whether it's grass carp, sturgeon, or mandarin fish, as long as you have them.
Is his request too demanding?
It might be a bit high, but it's also quite low, considering there really are fish weighing over 100 pounds in this reservoir. Once he catches one, he's already achieved his goal.
After Bai Yu returned home, he immediately uploaded the video footage he had shot that day and asked the company's post-production team to edit it.
He doesn't plan to use his account to promote this recreational tournament, but he can still post about his usual fishing activities.
After all, he's still a video blogger, so he still needs to post videos to keep his account active.
Bai Yu isn't in a rush for this episode's video; she just wants it edited by tomorrow morning.
The requirements are really not high.
