After a great deal of effort, Bai Yu finally managed to put the creature into the fish basket.
If it weren't for his skill, given the guy's size and weight, Bai Yu would have almost let him escape several times.
Then Bai Yu reattached a string of corn kernels to the hook, cast it out again, and waited for the second fish to bite.
With the mandarin fish he caught on his first cast, his catch increased by thirty or forty pounds, which boosted his confidence in fishing with corn kernels and made him believe that even if he didn't know how to use powdered bait, he could still catch big fish.
When you're fishing, once a fish bites the hook, that's the start of a continuous stream of fish coming to bite.
Even though the commotion caused by that snakehead fish was a bit loud, splashing ripples on the high water surface, it couldn't stop the fish from continuing to bite the hook.
Before he could even catch his breath, the fishing float, which had been floating motionless on the surface of the water, started moving again. This time, Bai Yu kept a close eye on the fishing float.
So the instant the float disappeared, Bai Yu jerked the fishing rod upwards, but to his surprise, he felt no resistance and the hook came out easily.
He cast his line and missed the fish that had taken the bait.
Faced with this situation, Bai Yu pulled the fishing hook back, and two of the six corn kernels that were originally hooked on it were missing. After replenishing the bait, he cast the fishing hook out again and continued to wait.
But it seemed like Bai Yu had stirred up a swarm of fish today. He had just cast his bait out, and less than two minutes later, his float started moving again, and more fish were biting the hook.
What does this feeling of fishing resemble? It's a bit like small fish swarming around the bait. However, the situation encountered by Bai Yu is not like small fish swarming around the bait, because the float that was originally on the surface of the water has disappeared.
It's obvious that a fish has taken the bait; he's using a big hook, so the fish that can take the bait must be quite large.
Another fish took the bait, and Bai Yu wasn't about to miss this opportunity. He lifted the fishing rod again and successfully caught the fish.
A few minutes later, Bai Yu scooped up a silver carp weighing over ten pounds and put it in the fish basket to keep the mandarin fish company.
Previously, it only took a few minutes to catch whitebait, so it certainly wouldn't take long to catch this silver carp weighing only a dozen kilograms.
Starting with this fish, Bai Yu officially entered a continuous fishing mode, with fish biting the hook one after another, giving Bai Yu very little time to rest.
The morning passed quickly, and Bai Yu ended his sinful morning.
Why talk about a sinful morning?
That's because, according to Bai Yu's own statistics, he caught a total of twenty fish this morning, averaging more than six per hour.
The number may not seem like much, but the size of these twenty fish is impressive; on average, each fish weighs at least fifteen pounds.
His performance this morning has already reached around 300 jin, putting him firmly ahead of all the other competitors.
It was also because Bai Yu's performance was so outstanding. During the three-hour livestream in the morning, Bai Yu appeared for at least an hour and a half. If a stranger had stumbled upon the fishing association's livestream,...
He certainly didn't think the live stream was a competition, but rather Bai Yu's personal show, which was being broadcast live from his personal account.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu has been appearing for too long. This is only because Bai Yu is not a member of the fishing association, and the authorities have given some time to their own members. Otherwise, Bai Yu would have appeared even more often.
When it was twelve o'clock, Bai Yu immediately put away his fishing rod and called Lu Sheng, who was standing next to him. The two of them walked towards the main stage together.
He caught so many fish this morning, so he must have used up some of his energy, especially his physical strength.
Since they had used up a lot of energy, the simplest way to replenish it was to eat. So Bai Yu was starving and desperately needed to eat.
As Bai Yu and Lu Sheng walked towards the stage, Bai Yu sent a message to Wang Hai and Lu Sheng via his mobile phone, telling them that those who were closer could go get their food first. He wanted food with red sausage, sweet and sour pork, chicken legs, chicken stew with mushrooms, and braised pork knuckle.
As for Lu Sheng, he can order whatever he wants to eat, and Wang Hai will naturally help them get it.
Sure enough, when the two brothers found Wang Hai and Li Shuang on the platform, there were already more than a dozen boxed lunches on the table where they were sitting.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu didn't stand on ceremony at all. She sat down in a chair, grabbed a boxed lunch, and prepared to start eating.
He had just started eating when two staff members came over, set up a tripod, and pointed a camera at the four of them.
The staff arrived really quickly today; they were already here before the other staff had even started eating.
No wonder the staff acted so quickly and were so eager to start a mukbang.
The main reason is that Bai Yu and his team's live streams get a lot of viewers during the midday period, which was evident from the matches in the previous two days.
Bai Yu was present during the first day of the elimination rounds, and at noon, Bai Yu's food broadcast was shown. Throughout the meal, the number of viewers in the live stream kept increasing, almost breaking one million at its peak.
However, the elimination rounds on the second day were different. Although it was also an elimination round, Bai Yu didn't participate. Even though Bai Yu and his group were at the competition venue at noon, they didn't eat the boxed lunches provided by the organizers.
Then the organizers naturally felt embarrassed to broadcast their meal live, and as a result, the number of viewers in the live stream dropped rapidly during the lunch break.
Even though they invited many experts to do interviews and broadcast other streamers eating, they couldn't save the number of online viewers. At its lowest point, the number of viewers in the live stream room dropped to just over 10,000, almost falling below the 10,000 mark.
It's not that other masters or streamers lack popularity, but rather that their interviews and meals lack compelling content.
The interviews were always the same two things: whether they were confident about the competition, what their techniques were, etc. There was really nothing new to say.
As for eating, there aren't many other streamers, regardless of gender, who can eat as much as Bai Yu and his group. Moreover, they don't seem to enjoy their food very much, and they always seem a bit pretentious in front of the camera.
In this situation, how can you expect viewers to enjoy the show? People watch live streams for the excitement and fun, right?
So around noon today, the staff found Bai Yu and the other three as soon as possible and immediately turned the camera on them, giving the live stream a seamless transition.
The transition was truly seamless. The moment lunch was served, the official live stream focused on Bai Yu, albeit from a drone's perspective, following him all the way to the podium.
Then the staff could find them as quickly as possible, and then the camera would be switched to show Bai Yu and the other three.
Bai Yu didn't seem to care much about the situation. He was completely unfazed by the close-up camera and even performed a special skill for the camera, eating braised chicken legs one after another.
There happened to be chicken legs in the boxed lunches on the table, so Bai Yu did a demonstration. She took a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth, and the next second, only a bone stick was left.
What's most amazing is that Bai Yu didn't just eat the chicken leg meat; he even ate the crunchy cartilage on the chicken leg bone, leaving it in his mouth.
Then there's something even more amazing: Wang Hai's special skill. He can eat two chicken legs in one bite, and with a pull and a tug, he can get rid of them all, leaving only the bones. He doesn't even leave the cartilage behind.
These two simple skills brought a huge number of fans to the live stream, with the number soaring to 300,000 and still rising.
