Bai Yu was very satisfied with his first catch of the day, a snakehead fish that was seventy or eighty centimeters long.
The mandarin fish has a slender body and weighs less than 20 pounds, but its length is still quite impressive. Its fur is also quite beautiful, and you won't dislike it just by looking at it.
However, although this creature has quite beautiful fur, its reputation is actually not very good; in fact, it could be described as extremely bad.
Basically, apart from anglers, no one else likes it, and some anglers don't even like snakehead fish.
The reason is very simple: this creature is carnivorous. If a snakehead fish appears in a river, the smaller fish in that river will suffer.
This little fish is not the fish fry or small fish that we humans think of, but rather everything smaller than the mandarin fish is on its diet.
The maximum growth limit for a snakehead fish is that it can grow to more than one meter long, close to two meters, and its weight can reach more than one hundred kilograms.
If a mandarin fish were to grow to this size, it would be invincible in any major river or lake, and all aquatic creatures in the river would become its prey.
Even for humans, that's not impossible.
For this reason, many anglers dislike snakehead fish, since their presence will inevitably degrade the resources of nearby rivers over time.
However, for those who want to make money by fishing, he prefers mandarin fish, and the bigger the better.
Because this type of fish is relatively more expensive than freshwater fish such as carp and grass carp.
Depending on the size, a large enough mandarin fish can sell for tens of yuan per kilogram. It's not impossible to make a profit of a thousand or eight hundred yuan, or even several thousand yuan, from a single fish.
Bai Yu felt the same way about these freshwater fish; he didn't really distinguish between good and bad, since he didn't eat freshwater fish very often anyway.
He was most concerned about the weight of the mandarin fish he had caught, since it was related to his score for the day.
Although it was just an entertainment competition, and the prize money was paid by his own company, for an athlete like Bai Yu, the most important thing was the attitude towards the competition.
He takes any competition or contest very seriously and values it highly.
Except for LoL, if you can't beat them, surrender early and don't drag it out. If the gap is too big, it's hard to turn the game around. It's better to start the next game sooner.
Before removing the mandarin fish from the hook, Bai Yu had one more thing to do: set up the fish basket first, otherwise where would he put his catch?
Bai Yu was quite confident that he would have a very good harvest today, so when he was preparing the fish basket, he specially prepared a large fish basket for himself.
A four-meter-long fish basket, narrow in the front and wide in the back, can hold at least a thousand or eight hundred kilograms of fish.
After putting the mandarin fish into the fish basket, he baited the hook again and then cast it out.
The fishing spot was similar to before, and now it was just a matter of waiting, hoping for the next fish to bite.
As time passed, more and more people came to the reservoir to fish. Among them were not only employees of their company and processing plant, but also some fishing enthusiasts from the community.
Yesterday, Li Shuang sent some information about the fishing trip to the local fishing group. As for whether the anglers in the group believed it or not, or whether they would come, they didn't care. They would just leave it to fate.
It turns out that anglers have always placed a great deal of trust in information about fishing.
Regardless of who posts a new fishing spot in the group, or which place is easier to catch fish in, or which bait mix works better,
They all choose to experience it for themselves, because only by trying it themselves can they know whether what others say is true or false.
Some anglers believed the fishing information Li Shuang posted, and then they came to the reservoir to take a look.
And that's how things turned out. In just two hours, more than a hundred anglers came to the reservoir.
Some of these people are company employees, but most of the anglers are people from outside the company. They learned about the event through word of mouth and then came to fish.
Once there are more people, management becomes more complicated, and related competition arises.
However, it's still acceptable, since the competition is only about the catch. If he catches a big fish, I want to catch a bigger one than him.
This is healthy competition, and as long as there is no provocation or disturbance, it's fine.
However, Bai Yu's life was not going so well at this time. Two fishermen appeared on his left and right sides, and they were always going against Bai Yu.
Wherever Bai Yu caught a fish, the two of them will inevitably fish in the same spot where Bai Yu caught the fish, their main goal being to steal his catch.
Faced with this behavior, Bai Yu didn't dare to say a word or refute it; she could only silently endure it.
Because Bai Hao is being schemed against by his father and his uncle, and these two are competing with him for resources, what can Bai Hao do?
Not to mention him, Bai Hao's right side was originally Wang Hai's fishing spot, but now Wang Hai has moved it to the side to make room for Uncle Sun.
Moreover, Bai's father and Sun's trip to fish wasn't just for fun; in their words, they were there to earn prize money.
One is the factory manager of Yuxue Seafood Processing Plant, and the other is the owner of a four-star chain hotel. These two people said they came for the 1,000 yuan bonus. Do you think Bai Hao should believe them?
If you say they're here for the prize money, fine, but what's the point of competing with him for the fish? Is that really a good idea?
Most importantly, it seems that they really did steal a lot of Bai Hao's resources, or rather, while the three of them were fishing, they were also unknowingly setting up a fishing spot.
After all, there were three of them fishing, meaning each cast involved three rods with bait. Even without baiting the area, they were still throwing in quite a bit of bait.
Over time, they will naturally attract a lot of fish, forming a fishpond for them to fish in.
Then, when the three of them were fishing, it wasn't just fishing anymore; they were fighting over the fish.
This is a time to test both luck and fishing skills; whoever has better luck and skill will catch more fish.
Among the more than one hundred anglers present, the competition among these three was the most intense.
Although Bai Yu dared not refute or complain, he could compete with his father, Uncle Sun, for fish. This was a contest of luck, not a matter of who had the higher status.
Among the three of them, Bai Yu was quite lucky, and he usually caught fish more often than Bai's father and Uncle Sun.
By noon, Bai Yu had been fishing at the reservoir for over three hours, and his catch was quite impressive.
Even with the harassment from Bai's father and Uncle Sun, he still managed to catch twenty-seven fish weighing over a pound each in the morning. He couldn't guarantee that this was the most, but it was definitely better than what Bai's father and Uncle Sun had caught.
"Dad, Uncle Sun, it's lunchtime. What are you planning to eat?"
Bai Yu glanced at the time; it was already a little past noon. He put away his fishing rod and asked his father and uncle what they wanted to eat.
Although lunch is not provided for this exhibition match, Bai Yu, as the organizer, will certainly not be short of lunch.
The lunch was only for other staff members and did not include the staff working on the reservoir side.
As more and more people come to the reservoir to fish, Baiyu has also called in more and more staff, from a dozen at the beginning to as many as thirty now.
"Hey, Xiao Hao, didn't you say in your previous message that lunch wasn't included? What's going on now? Are you giving us special treatment?"
Uncle Sun, who was standing to the side, asked with a slightly teasing tone.
"What do you mean by 'getting in through the back door'? We're just eating boxed lunches, ordered from your hotel. Uncle Sun, do you want some?"
"You got your food from our hotel? Then I have to try it. Lao Bai, you should try it too, and see if your apprentices' skills have deteriorated since you left."
Hearing what Uncle Sun said, Bai Yu silently lit a candle in his heart for his father's apprentices, hoping they could get through this ordeal.
You see, even though Bai's father no longer works at Uncle Sun's hotel, in the culinary world, the master-apprentice relationship is still considered equivalent to a father-son relationship.
Bai Ba's disciples still have to listen to what he says, otherwise they would be rebelling against the Heavenly Gang.
In the chef's profession, it's not just about making good food for customers; the daily meals for employees also require careful attention and cannot be neglected in the slightest.
At least with Bai Ba, the meals that employees eat are just as important as the meals that the hotel sells to customers. Any carelessness in this regard will result in being scolded.
To avoid being implicated in the fishpond incident, Bai Yu took lunch from the workbench and immediately left with Wang Hai, leaving this place of trouble behind.
As for the final outcome, Bai Yu had no desire to know at all.
