The skipjack tuna arrive and depart quickly, taking only about an hour from their appearance to their departure, after which the sea returns to calm.
For some experienced anglers, an hour is more than enough time.
It's more than enough for anchoring fish; it can easily hold several boxes of skipjack tuna.
Especially those who frequently engage in lure fishing, they are quite talented at anchor fishing. Although they don't have the kind of fishing rods used by white fishing rods, their catches with lure rods are still quite good.
As for those who hadn't fished much before, their harvest was rather meager when faced with these skipjack tuna this time.
It was through this baptism by the bonito swarm that the performance gap between all the contestants became apparent, with the difference between high and low scores reaching several times.
To give a simple example, the gap between Bai Yu and the players on his left and right is quite large.
Bai Yu and the other player to his right, one has experience in anchor fishing at sea, and the other is an expert at using a lure rod, so anchor fishing is a piece of cake for them.
Their haul was quite good; each of them caught three or four boxes of skipjack tuna, totaling at least two or three hundred pounds.
This is what they got after an hour of hard work, which is considered quite good among the contestants.
The fisherman to Bai Yu's left had a much worse catch; he didn't know how to snag the skipjack tuna at all from the start.
So when he first started out, his catch of skipjack tuna was very poor; he could only catch one every half a day and then put it in his box.
An hour later, he had barely filled one box, and if he could bring in two or three more skipjack tuna, he would be lucky to get a little over a hundred.
Among Bai Yu and his two companions, a significant gap already exists. If this were applied to all the contestants, the disparity would be equally pronounced.
However, such unexpected situations have both advantages and disadvantages for the players.
Whether it's a competition or everyday life, luck is also a part of ability.
The skipjack tuna we encountered this time were also a case in point; the lucky ones and the strong ones all significantly improved their scores.
As the sea calmed down, all the anglers prepared to resume fishing as usual.
However, unlike the other contestants, Bai Yu did not intend to continue fishing at this time. Instead, he put away his fishing rod and prepared to rest on the second deck.
For a seasoned angler who frequently goes out to sea to fish, this is not the best time to fish, and the catch will not be very good.
A school of skipjack tuna had just passed through, and they had disturbed the seabed here.
Previously, when Bai Yu and his team were using anchor fishing, they were only catching skipjack tuna on the surface of the sea. No one could say for sure what was happening below the surface.
However, one thing is certain: the skipjack tuna's role in the ocean is that it is both prey and predator.
Just now, such a huge group of skipjack tuna circled around this sea platform, and they practically wiped out all the small fish and shrimp on the seabed.
Even those marine creatures that they can't eat, when they see such a large group of skipjack tuna, they only have one choice: to flee.
After losing a large number of small fish, shrimp, and marine life, the seabed of this offshore platform is currently in a vacuum state. It will take time to restore the situation here to its previous state of abundant resources.
This time was just enough for Bai Yu to rest.
But before Bai Yu could take two steps, another commotion broke out on the deck.
"Wow, a whale! A whale has appeared!"
"What do you mean whale? That's an orca, orca are dolphins!"
"So many orcas! What are these guys doing? Weren't they chasing the skipjack tuna? Why have they stopped now?"
"Maybe they're full. Bai Yu filmed orcas in one of his videos before, saying that these guys are very smart and like to play with humans."
......
Hearing the murmurs behind her, Bai Yu immediately turned around to look.
Sure enough, he actually saw orcas on the sea, and not just one, but a whole group. There were four around their fishing boats alone, and who knows how many more were in other places.
For this competition, Bai Yu and his team had ten fishing boats arranged in a circle around the sea platform, with two more fishing boats on either side of fishing boat number six.
Meanwhile, four killer whales were frolicking on the surface of the sea. One of them was quite large and stood parallel to Bai Yu, its big, dark eyes seemingly watching him.
Why could Bai Yu sense that this guy was watching him?
When Bai Yu looked at the orca, he felt a strange connection with it, as if the orca knew him.
Do you know his orcas?
It seems there are only two, right? They were the ones that Bai Yu fed when he went out to sea to fish before. Back then, there were two killer whales, one big and one small. This one is the big one. Could it be the big killer whale from back then?
With this slight doubt in mind, Bai Yu approached the side of the boat, and the orca did the same, also coming closer.
Bai Yu and the orca were about five or six meters apart. He was on the boat, and the orca was staring at each other in the sea.
Just as Bai Yu was about to ask if this guy was an orca that liked grilled fish, the guy spoke first, and a jet of water shot out from the orca's mouth, directly washing Bai Yu's face.
The key point is that this scene happened too suddenly, and the distance between Bai Yu and the killer whale was too close. He didn't have any room to react at all, and then he was sprayed with seawater in his face.
Then, after chirping twice, it dove down and disappeared; it escaped!
It wasn't until the orcas had disappeared that Bai Yu realized what was happening. He was furious and started yelling at the orcas.
"You ungrateful orca! I just fed you a grilled fish a while ago, and you've already forgotten about it!"
"Fine, fine, you just wait! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have protection registration! Brother Huang, get me a diving suit and a stick, I'm going down there to fight this guy!"
Brother Huang is the third mate of fishing boat number six. He also went out to sea with the ship this time. He had worked on the fishing boat Yuxue before and was quite familiar with Bai Yu. He is considered a veteran crew member of the company.
Huang Ge was secretly laughing when he saw Bai Yu get sprayed with seawater, but he never expected that he would be called out by Bai Yu the next second.
And you even made him get the diving suit and the stick?
What are they trying to do? Are they going to go into the sea and challenge an orca to a duel?
Although there are diving suits and sticks on the fishing boat, Brother Huang would never give them to Bai Yu, not even if you beat him to death.
Even if Bai Yu could find the killer whale in the sea, he still wouldn't be able to defeat it. That killer whale was huge, at least eight or nine meters long, maybe even ten meters.
Given its size, its weight must be measured in tons. Moreover, the ocean is the orca's home turf. When facing Bai Yu, it doesn't need to do anything. Just a slight flick of its tail is enough for Bai Yu to handle.
In this situation, since Brother Huang couldn't possibly give Bai Yu anything, he naturally had to step forward and stop her.
"President Bai, calm down, calm down, please don't be impulsive, let's not argue with a killer whale."
"Come on, Mr. Bai, wipe the water off your face. Don't you know what an orca is? It's like a street urchin in the ocean, a complete maritime thug. Let's just ignore it."
"We have to deal with it. How can we ignore it? I recognize that orca from earlier. It came straight for me!"
Okay, so it's not smart enough to play tricks on me. Let's see who can outsmart whom.
"Brother Huang, go to the kitchen and tell Uncle Liu to bring some men out to move the barbecue grill. I'll take a few men to the freezer to get some fish; we'll grill some on the deck."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he led several staff members toward the cabin, intending to move some seafood inside.
Moreover, when Bai Yu set off, a staff member carrying a camera followed behind him and filmed him.
It was only at this moment that Bai Yu remembered that their company's live broadcast room was still broadcasting. Could it be that everything that just happened was recorded?
Bai Yu didn't care about what he had said to the orca earlier; it was a minor matter.
But what Bai Yu cared about most was whether the scene of being sprayed with water by the orca had been captured on camera. If it had been broadcast live, his reputation would have been ruined!
What? You mean when Bai Yu encountered the orca before, wasn't there a scene where he was played around by the orca?
That's different. The ones I posted before were all videos, edited videos. Those scenes could be considered for the sake of the show.
Moreover, the angles and content of the shots were carefully selected, at most making Bai Yu look a little embarrassed and funny.
Moreover, once the event has occurred, the situation changes, and it's not a big deal if netizens comment on it.
But that won't work now. If this gets filmed, it'll be a live broadcast, and it'll be a live broadcast to multiple live streams and millions of people!
In this situation, Bai Yu's embarrassing moment was captured on camera, and then netizens had a real-time discussion about it. Just thinking about it makes his scalp tingle.
This feeling is no different from running naked! He's going to die from this!
That's right, Bai Yu's thinking is spot on.
From the moment Bai Yu approached the orca, he had already appeared in their company's live stream.
After all, this is his company. When you see your boss staring at an orca, and the two are only a few meters apart, what do you think an employee should do?
They immediately focused the camera on the white fish and the orca, giving it a close-up.
Originally, the employees and the cameraman filming Bai Yu meant well. After all, Bai Yu was the one who paid the money, so giving him more screen time and some attention was what they should do.
But who could have imagined that the orca would be so uncivilized, spraying Bai Yu's face with seawater right away, giving him a refreshing and exhilarating experience.
Then the live stream chat exploded, with all the netizens laughing and saying all sorts of things.
There were all sorts of opinions, with some netizens even expressing envy for Bai Yu, who got to have such close contact and interaction with orcas.
This is why Bai Yu wasn't very clear about what was happening in the live stream. Otherwise, he would have definitely given a piece of his mind to the people who posted those kinds of comments, telling anyone who was envious to come and experience it for themselves.
Within minutes, a video clip of Bai Yu's embarrassing moment circulated online and quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.
After all, Bai Yu's identity is too special. He is the owner of a company that owns the naming rights to 052d, an Olympic champion, a world record holder, a Grand Slam long-distance runner, the number one online fan, and so on.
With so many identities embodied in one person, it's easy for anything that happens to him to trend on social media.
Not to mention that there's already enough attention online about Yuxue Shipping Company's third annual fan fishing competition, and today they encountered both a school of skipjack tuna and an orca.
These are all scenes that most netizens have never seen before, and the popularity of the competition is soaring. Then, the scene of Bai Yu being teased by the orca has appeared. It would be a shame if he didn't trend on social media, given the atmosphere the orca created for him.
In just ten or twenty minutes, while Bai Yu was moving the fish from the freezer and burning charcoal, this video had already spread all over the internet, adding another dark chapter to Bai Yu's history!
