Chapter 615 The Fisherman's Carnival!
Bai Yu could do nothing more than collect the body of the sailfish that had killed itself.
Soon the staff arrived, bringing over a small crane from the fishing boat, and began preparing to hoist the sailfish.
The only drawback was that the upper jaw of this sailfish was broken off, and a section of it had sunk into the sea and was no longer visible.
Once the sailfish was on the deck, Bai Yu immediately grabbed a knife and got to work.
The simplest way is to cut open the abdomen, bleed it, and clean it.
This sailfish we caught this time was not only larger than the yellowfin tuna we caught before, but it was also significantly heavier.
When Bai Yu pushed it into the freezer compartment with a small cart and weighed it at the door of the freezer compartment, he glanced at the guy's weight: 162.3 jin.
After the blood was drained, and part of the upper jaw of this creature was broken, if it were intact and hadn't undergone any treatment, this sailfish would weigh around 200 pounds.
However, now only a little over 160 jin remain. Regarding the results of this competition, Bai Yu would rather have fewer results than not clean the sailfish properly and bring a whole, clean big fish ashore.
After all, only the cleaned big fish are the most valuable; if they are not cleaned properly, their value will be greatly reduced.
Just as Bai Yu was pushing his cart to deliver the sailfish to the freezer, he encountered several other contestants who, like him, were also delivering their catch to the freezer.
However, none of these contestants caught as much as the sailfish that Bai Yu caught. The largest fish they caught was only about 100 pounds, which is quite a difference.
However, this also shows that the sea area they are in now has quite good resources, with many fish weighing tens of kilograms and even hundreds of kilograms.
Many of them are tuna, although yellowfin tuna are the most numerous, but yellowfin tuna are still tuna.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu quickly returned to his fishing spot, rebaited his hook, and cast it out.
With such a great resource, and having caught two giant fish weighing over 100 kilograms in a very short time, he is now in a leading position.
What he needs to do now is to maintain this lead, then further expand his advantage, and firmly hold onto the championship.
For the next few hours, Bai Yu stayed on the deck fishing, fishing non-stop.
As for his catch, it was also quite good, with him catching a fish every now and then.
The fish caught vary in size, with some weighing over a hundred pounds and others weighing thirty or forty pounds, and even some weighing just over ten pounds.
The fish, weighing over ten kilograms, may not be heavy, but they are quite large, each measuring a meter in length.
Especially those barracudas, meter-long barracudas are extremely ferocious. Even if the bait on the hook weighs several kilograms and the fishing line is relatively thick, barracudas can still spot them if you are careful.
But these guys act like they don't have eyes when they go out, relying solely on their sense of smell to find food, and they bite right at the bait with the hook.
The final result was obvious: the barracuda lost its life and was caught on the deck by the white fisherman.
The entire afternoon was a celebration for the participants in this competition.
Whether you're a seasoned angler or a complete beginner, you're guaranteed to catch a bountiful catch here today.
Take Lin Yu, who recently became a sensation, for example. She's a fishing novice. Whether she's ever fished before or not is another matter, but she's definitely never gone out to sea to fish before.
Even though she had never tried sea fishing before, she caught three fish in one afternoon, one of which was a huge, enormous fish.
When Bai Yu saw the fish the other person had caught, he thought he was seeing things and had mistaken the main character in the split screen.
But when he looked closely, he realized that the small section of the video was indeed showing Lin Yu and a bluefin tuna in the same frame, which was the fish Lin Yu had caught.
A girl who was about 1.6 meters tall, weighed just over 100 pounds, and had a cute, childlike face caught a bluefin tuna weighing over 300 pounds.
Bai Yu found it strange to look at the two together; could these two really be put together?
But that's the truth. Lin Yu caught this bluefin tuna weighing over 300 pounds. Although the fishing process was a bit complicated, it took her four hours just to catch this one fish. She spent the entire afternoon on this big fish.
Moreover, this big fish was caught under the watchful eyes of tens of millions of viewers on two platforms and in the live broadcast room.
If Bai Yu brought Lin Yu a lot of popularity and fans because of a mukbang video,
However, this time, catching this bluefin tuna did indeed bring her a large number of fans and popularity through her own efforts, and the popularity was not much lower than that of her previous mukbang.
The main point is that Lin Yu appeared with this bluefin tuna in the live stream, and the contrast between them was just too great.
This bluefin tuna weighs over 300 pounds. It's even longer than Lin Yu, and in terms of plumpness, it's several times larger than Lin Yu.
Not to mention that Lin Yu spent more than four hours and went through a lot of hardship to catch this fish.
All these factors combined have already generated a lot of buzz, and on top of that, she's currently in a competition and was already trending a couple of days ago, so her current popularity is naturally unstoppable.
Bai Yu remained remarkably calm, showing no sign of urgency, despite Lin Yu's single fish being comparable to the two hundred-pound behemoths he had caught.
After all, it took Lin Yu more than four hours to catch it, while Bai Yu caught those two big fish in less than an hour, including the waiting time.
He caught a big fish in a very short time, and then he caught something else.
After Lin Yu caught the bluefin tuna, Bai Yu's catch had already exceeded 600 jin, making her 300-plus jin seem insignificant.
However, while its overall performance wasn't impressive, this bluefin tuna could still compete for another award: the title of King of Fish.
This bluefin tuna, weighing over 300 pounds, is not the largest bluefin tuna, but it is the largest fish caught so far in this competition.
As long as no other fish catch surpasses this bluefin tuna, Lin Yu will receive the Fish King reward, which is quite substantial—a prize of 500,000.
Around 6 p.m., Bai Yu caught another 40-pound yellowfin tuna, and he prepared to pack up his line.
It's getting late; the dinner bell has been ringing for a while now, and it's time for them to go eat dinner.
For a foodie, if they are not even slightly enthusiastic about eating, then they are not a qualified foodie.
Bai Yu is a true foodie, and he is very enthusiastic about it. After finishing his work, he headed straight to the restaurant.
However, among the twenty-odd fishermen fishing on the deck, very few were as decisive as Bai Yu.
After all, the fishing here was so good that they were really reluctant to give up such a good catch. They were afraid that if the good fishing stopped after they finished eating, they would suffer a huge loss.
After all, we're in a competition right now, so eating isn't as important as the results. Skipping a meal will only make you a little hungry at most.
But if you continue fishing for a while and improve your score, and if you win the championship, you could win millions in prize money!
So there aren't many people eating at this time; it's mostly staff members eating in the restaurant.
When Bai Yu arrived at the restaurant, he finally saw a few anglers, but without exception, none of them were sitting in the restaurant eating properly; they all took a large bowl and went outside.
This scene made Bai Yu shake his head repeatedly.
However, he didn't say anything. This situation was perfectly normal for fishermen. The fact that they still remembered to come for a meal was already much better than those fishermen who were still fishing on the deck.
As for Bai Yu himself, he sat quietly and peacefully in the restaurant eating, filling two plates to the brim with food to fill his stomach.
He was exhausted after a whole afternoon of fishing. Even though he was having a very successful fishing trip, fishing is considered a sport because it is physically demanding.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu caught quite a few big fish in the afternoon. Leaving aside the first two giant fish weighing over 100 pounds, he later caught a bigeye tuna weighing over 100 pounds, nearly 200 pounds.
In order to catch the big fish as quickly as possible and not disrupt his fishing rhythm, Bai Yu put in a lot of effort. In the end, he took a two-minute break.
The simplest way to replenish physical strength is through food and drink. Now that it's mealtime, Bai Yu naturally wants to eat more and replenish his energy.
Bai Yu carried two plates of food and sat down directly in front of the guy who had been filming him. He then added a chicken leg from his own plate and gave it to the guy.
"Brother, you've worked hard these past two days, here's an extra chicken leg for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai."
On the entire Yuxue No. 13 fishing boat, besides the crew members, he only had this one acquaintance.
Besides, he's someone I've only known for two days, so it would be nice to chat with him while we eat.
Bai Yu also has some experience in videography. The videos he initially filmed were actually shot and edited by them.
So when chatting with his older brother, Bai Yu never runs out of things to say.
The only pity is that this guy isn't from their company. Although he's very serious about his work and has excellent filming skills, Bai Yu can't poach people.
After all, the guy was someone from the broadcasting team he hired. If he poached him, he might not be able to find a team like that again.
So even if their company is lacking in this area and has very few professional cameramen, he can't poach them.
However, while Bai Yu was chatting with the cameraman, he inadvertently learned that their camera crew was facing financial difficulties and had not made any money this year.
They haven't made any money, and their finances are a bit tight. Is this a problem for the entire team?
In that instant, Bai Yu thought of a possibility, but he didn't intend to handle it himself; he'd rather let Li Shuang or Yueyue do it.
He still has a competition to play, so let them talk to the broadcasting team later.
