Bai Yu has seen fish caught two or even more times in a short period of time, but it is quite rare for the same fish to be caught twice in a short period of time.
Especially since it was a wild giant catfish weighing over 100 kilograms, it was even more rare.
However, this alone is enough to show that the resources of the river in front of us are really very poor. These giant catfish are not just malnourished and very thin.
They now eat whatever they see, even if that food might put them in danger or cost them their lives.
But they also know one thing: rather than starve to death, it's better to have a good meal before they die.
The chicken with the fishhook in front of me is somewhat dangerous, but at least eating it will fill my stomach and give me a chance to survive.
That's why, after Victor released the giant catfish back into the river, it didn't leave the area and waited for the white fisherman to cast his line again.
Fortunately, the fish was rewarded and didn't have to wait long before it encountered a large piece of chicken again.
The giant catfish had no idea what danger was in this food that had been delivered to its door; it knew it was edible.
Then, about ten minutes later, Bai Yu met the familiar giant catfish again.
A few minutes later, Bai Yu released it back into the river, letting it return to its former freedom as a giant catfish.
To be honest, the best way to deal with these giant catfish is to eliminate some of them and restore the river's ecology.
Then, every year thereafter, we just need to control the number of giant catfish to prevent damage to the natural ecosystem.
Unfortunately, Viktor and his group have animal rights activists around who will be watching the residents hunt and kill the giant catfish. If they get involved with them, then they're really doomed.
Perhaps one day, when the overall resources of this river have been destroyed, some local departments will finally take this matter seriously.
However, none of this mattered to Bai Yu anymore; the rest of them could just focus on fishing.
It's a pity that all they caught were giant catfish, and that's how it was for Wang Hai and the others.
How far can this giant catfish go? There are five of them, and in one hour, they can catch more than twenty giant catfish.
There were more than 15 instances of giant catfish exceeding 1.5 meters in length, while the remaining instances of catfish smaller than 1.5 meters were extremely rare.
After all, catfish can be ruthless enough to eat even their own offspring, let alone their own kind.
Moreover, they are the kind of food that you can eat without any psychological burden, mainly for filling your stomach.
Of course, the reason for using "times" instead of "strips" is...
That's because among the giant catfish that Bai Yu and his crew caught, many of them were duplicates—meaning they had been caught before, released, and then caught again.
There's no way to count these catfish by the number of individual fish, since if they don't release them, these giant catfish will only be caught once.
After fishing for catfish for more than an hour, it was already noon, and Bai Yu had finally satisfied his fishing craving.
He spent the whole morning fishing here, and he really had a lot of fun. He caught five giant catfish that were over 1.5 meters long, as well as a few smaller ones. His catch was quite good.
The only pity was that these giant catfish were not heavy and seemed to be malnourished, so they couldn't get Bai Yu to use his full strength.
Bai Yu understood this situation very well. After all, these catfish were suffering because of their own living environment, and they couldn't be blamed for it.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Bai Yu reeled in his fishing rod and shouted in the direction of Victor:
"Victor, it's getting late. What are we going to do for lunch today?"
Unfortunately, Bai Yu speaks Chinese. Even if Bai Yu shouts something at the other person, a translator has to translate it before Victor can understand.
"Bai, are you hungry? Let's go back first. I've prepared a big meal for you. After we eat, we'll go hunting this afternoon."
Upon hearing what the translator said, Viktor responded loudly, and then the translator repeated it in Chinese.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai became very interested. They knew that meat was actually very cheap abroad, while fruits and vegetables were the real valuable items here.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai weren't particularly interested in fruits and vegetables, but they were very interested in all kinds of barbecue.
Viktor's uncle owns a farm, and those who have watched American and European TV shows should know what kind of feasts are served there—it's all kinds of roast meat!
Barbecue is great! It's Bai Yu and Wang Hai's favorite food; they love eating meat the most.
The two brothers then eagerly packed up their fishing rods and rode back to the farm in the pickup truck with Victor.
Just as Bai Yu had expected, their lunch was indeed a barbecue feast.
They came back in a pickup truck and saw from afar that a bonfire had been set up in the middle of the farm villa. Setting up a bonfire in broad daylight, what else could it be but preparing to have a barbecue?
When Bai Yu and the others arrived at the villa, they got out of the pickup truck, and the first thing they saw was an animal that was skewered and roasting over a campfire.
However, Bai Yu wasn't quite sure what kind of animal was being roasted. It didn't look very big, and it looked a bit like a lamb, but not quite.
After asking around, they finally learned that what was being roasted was a fawn that Uncle Victor had caught while Bai Yu and the others were fishing that morning.
Upon hearing that it was a freshly hunted fawn, the eyes of Bai Yu and his three companions immediately lit up with a desire to hunt.
In particular, they looked at the workbench next to the campfire, where a hunting rifle sat, its barrel gleaming metallically in the sunlight.
Guns, those are real guns!
As a man, there's practically no one who doesn't like these things. Although they're quite dangerous, if you were allowed to legally own one, I don't think anyone would refuse.
Unfortunately, this thing is illegal in our country. If you have one of these at home, then congratulations, your life is guaranteed for the next few years.
If it's serious, then this is how it is in this life. I'll just have to live a better life in the next.
However, Bai Yu and his group are currently in Greater Paris, at Victor's uncle's house. The uncle has a legal gun license and a hunting license.
With these permits, even foreigners like Bai Yuwanghai are allowed to hunt.
Before the roasted venison was ready, Bai Yu and the others approached Uncle Victor, the old white man who looked very much like a redneck.
They planned to learn how to use a hunting rifle from him, so it would be easier for them when they went hunting later.
Although Bai Yu and Wang Hai had both fired guns before, including pistols, automatic rifles, submachine guns, and even sniper rifles.
However, they had never handled a hunting rifle before and didn't really know much about this type of gun.
After all, Bai Yu had mostly practiced shooting at military bases before; who uses hunting rifles at their base?
The hunting rifle that Uncle Victor used was actually a sniper rifle, which was the same as the one that pulled the bolt after each shot, but it was very different from the sniper rifles used in the military.
This one is much easier to use because it comes with a scope, so Bai Yu can use it even without being taught.
In addition to sniper rifles with scopes, they also use the classic double-barreled shotgun, which is a bit difficult to use.
He has no problem firing the gun, but the real challenge is to use this double-barreled shotgun accurately and unleash its full power.
Of course, Bai Yu and the others were only asking questions; they didn't mean to test the guns or go hunting right now.
After all, it's lunchtime now. Let's talk about everything after we finish eating. The most important thing right now is to eat.
Regarding meals, Bai Yu was accompanied by his nutritionist, who was specifically responsible for his diet.
Before lunch, he made a point of going to the campfire and stove area to check on today's food.
The main purpose is to check for any prohibited items, or food or seasonings that are not suitable for competitive matches, as Bai Yu cannot eat these things.
And you know what? After his search, he actually found a few things that were not suitable for Bai Yu to eat.
It's not that you can't eat them, but some of these things don't meet the standards. For ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with them, but for athletes like Bai Yu, if they consume too much, they might fail to meet the standards during random checks.
After receiving the results, the nutritionist also told Bai Yu what she could and couldn't eat for lunch today.
Logically speaking, Bai Yu and the others' behavior was extremely impolite. When you go to someone's house, they go to great lengths to treat you to good things, and you still pick and choose, refusing to eat this or that. Isn't that just plain ill-mannered?
However, things are different at Uncle Viktor's house, because they also have an athlete in their family. Although this athlete isn't very strong, they know that athletes can't eat just anything.
As for why we use certain foods if we know they are inedible?
It's not that they did it on purpose or wanted to trick Bai Yu; that's not the case.
However, Bai Yu is quite strict with himself, and he won't eat anything that might violate the rules.
The seasonings and similar condiments used by Uncle Viktor's family are acceptable for athletes to consume in small amounts, as long as it's not excessive.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu is an Asian, and the requirements for him in random checks are much stricter than those for European and American contestants.
Therefore, in order to avoid being criticized or nitpicked, Bai Yu sets higher standards for herself and will never cross any lines.
Therefore, Victor's family could understand Bai Yu's explanation.
Fortunately, the whole roasted deer was fine. The whole roasted deer was made with just some salt, cumin, natural honey, and chili powder, nothing else.
As long as there's nothing wrong with the whole roasted deer, Bai Yu will be fine and he can still eat his fill.
