"Wang Hai? I do have a vague impression of him. He participated in the Universiade with President Bai before, and his results were quite good."
"Yes, that's him."
"Hmm, judging from Wang Hai's movements and the reaction of the fishing rod, the fish he caught this time should weigh more than ten pounds, and there are many kinds of large fish of this size in this fishpond."
"Mr. Bai, how about we guess what kind of fish Wang Hai caught this time?"
Zhang Tao made a suggestion while watching the live stream.
It wasn't that Zhang Tao wanted to guess the species of fish caught; it was just that Wang Hai really didn't have any fishing skills. This guy's fishing philosophy was all about one word: recklessness!
As long as the fishing rod and line can hold up, the other party can forcefully catch the fish that has taken the bait.
Zhang Tao explained this fishing method in just two sentences. What else could he possibly say? He could only talk to Bai Yu, who was standing nearby.
"Guess? Is there a prize? If there isn't, then I'm not playing with you."
? ? ?
Bai Yu's words silenced Zhang Tao: "Guessing the type of fish caught requires an extra prize?"
Do you know what we're doing? This is a live broadcast! You can't just talk about betting like that! Getting involved in betting is gambling!
Thinking of this, Zhang Tao frantically winked at Bai Yu, indicating that there were some things that couldn't be said in the live stream.
"Brother Zhang, don't get excited. The prize I'm talking about isn't anything else. Our company is doing something that's good for your physical and mental health, like doing push-ups, how about that?"
"Hmm, that's good. Let's do it this way: whoever guesses wrong has to do twenty push-ups."
"Okay, then I guess Wang Hai caught a grass carp."
Bai Yu looked at the information provided by the organizer, which listed the types of fish caught in the fishpond, and he chose grass carp from it.
In Bai Yu's view, any fish in this pond could potentially bite the hook. His choice of grass carp was purely a matter of luck, because he really didn't know much about fishing for freshwater fish.
After he made his selection, Zhang Tao chose grass carp. His choice was quite deliberate, based on the type of bait Wang Hai used, the fish's reaction to the bite, and other factors.
As Bai Yu listened to Zhang Tao's analysis, only one thought flashed through his mind: This is professionalism!
Professionals do professional things. Just like they hire professional salvage teams to salvage sunken ships, the commentary is naturally done by professional personnel as well.
However, in the end, when Wang Hai finally caught his fish, both Bai Yu and Wang Hai fell silent as they looked at the dark, patterned fish.
A few dozen seconds later, Bai Yu had finished twenty push-ups, which was a piece of cake for him.
"Tsk, how did you catch a snakehead? Everyone says snakeheads are hard to catch with a hand rod, you should use a lure rod to cast. How did Ah Hai catch one on his first cast, and such a big one at that?"
Bai Yu was puzzled; he couldn't understand how Wang Hai had caught a blackfish so quickly.
Although he had seen snakehead fish in the fishpond when he was looking at the information before, and he thought it was possible to catch snakehead fish, he believed that the probability of catching snakehead fish was the lowest compared to other fish species.
But the reality was that he actually caught a blackfish, and then he and Zhang Tao both did push-ups.
"Yes, who would have thought that we would actually catch the snakehead fish with the lowest probability of success?"
Zhang Tao was equally puzzled. His previous analysis had been incredibly logical, completely immersing him in Wang Hai's character.
His analysis was widely accepted by fans and viewers, but when the final answer was revealed, the result was the most surprising.
Isn't this a blatant slap in the face, and the kind that hurts the most? Don't you think this will make Zhang Tao feel embarrassed?
As Wang Hai's blackfish came ashore, it seemed to sound the horn for catching fish again, and the live stream suddenly became much more active.
Thanks to the fan competitions Bai Yu previously organized, a single live-stream competition could generate over a dozen sub-videos. Now, any fishing competition has to follow Bai Yu's live-stream template.
Otherwise, netizens will criticize them for being unprofessional, not getting enough screen time, or having rigged the competition.
At that moment, Bai Yu also understood how difficult it was to explain.
In the current situation, Wang Hai has caught a fish, and before the two of them have even finished summarizing, the live stream suddenly splits into four, showing the screens of the four contestants.
"Hey, the questions from the contestants today are pretty good. Four contestants caught fish at the same time, so let's take a look at their performance."
"Yes, the fishing is really good today. It's only a little past nine o'clock, so it should be considered an early start."
"Whether he bites early or late, our contestant number 37 is starting to put up a fight. He must have been playing the fish for a while, exhausting its energy. Now we're about to enter the final stage!"
"It's almost over. This fish is getting close to the shore and it's flipped over. It looks like a grass carp, probably weighing about four or five pounds?"
"Mr. Bai has a good eye. Judging from the specifications, it should be pretty much correct."
Bai Yu and Zhang Tao started chatting, one after the other.
Zhang Tao was responsible for explaining the players' techniques, while Bai Yu observed their fishing progress and occasionally added a few words.
Of course, his additions were only based on his knowledge. If they involved areas where his knowledge was lacking, he wouldn't speak nonsense without understanding.
During their commentary, the live stream footage fluctuated, showing moments of fishing ending and moments of fish being caught.
At its peak, the live stream split screen reached a nine-grid layout, keeping Bai Yu and the other person very busy. They talked about everything from beginning to end, mentioning every single detail.
It's also worth mentioning that as more and more players are catching fish, it means that the competition in this event is becoming increasingly fierce.
After all, since it's a competition, there has to be a winner and a loser, and a first, second, third, and fourth place must be determined.
This involves huge prize money, and every participant has fantasized about winning the championship.
Especially with Bai Yu as a guest, the live stream was incredibly popular, with over 100,000 viewers online.
If they can stand out in this competition, it won't just be a matter of winning prize money; they can also gain a lot of attention.
For some non-blogger contestants, with this level of popularity, they could easily create an account and become internet celebrities.
For bloggers who already have accounts, it can bring them a lot of attention and followers, which is a win-win situation.
Therefore, all the anglers present were very serious and eagerly hoped to achieve good results in this competition.
At the very least, one should try to appear on more live streams to gain sufficient exposure and increase popularity.
That's why, in this competition, all the contestants showed off their unique skills and used all their specialties.
For example, which types of bait are easier to mix to catch fish, and should the bait be made thinner or drier when preparing it?
Don't underestimate these seemingly minor differences; often, these small changes can lead to completely different results.
