Chapter 265: Chapter 162: Large Scale Whitefish_3

The three of them chatted while they began the frantic task of nest-raking. Yue’er was a bit slower, but she was putting in her utmost effort.

Looking at the other teams, the majority were doing much the same, fiercely raking their nests.

This scene made the audience in the live broadcast room unable to help but sigh.

"The competition today feels a bit like we’re in an athletic event," said one.

"Indeed, seeing everyone so tense as they rake, it gives a sense of boiling blood," another added.

As the competition began, almost all teams were crazily raking their nests; indeed, the scene had a bit of the sense of a black pit fishing athletics.

Everyone was racing against time, and the heated scene lasted for more than ten minutes, during which everyone was making and raking nests, yet not a single person had caught a fish.

This was a situation that hadn’t occurred in the first two competitions; it seemed that the fish resources in Fuxian Lake were indeed as scarce as everyone had learned beforehand.

Apart from the scarce resources, there was another factor: the waters of Fuxian Lake were too deep. Most likely, the majority of the fish were hiding in the deep water, making it difficult to draw them near the shore.

After about half an hour, a team finally broke the deadlock.

It was the top-ranking Tianyuan Team, who were the first to catch a fish.

The camera promptly zoomed in for a close-up shot, and now the viewers could clearly see what kind of fish they had caught.

A small fish of about a dozen centimeters, shimmering silver and slender, was struggling and jumping in the air.

"What kind of fish is that, a white fish? After half a day, the first fish everyone’s caught is a white fish?" exclaimed someone.

"The great Fuxian Lake, is the resource situation really that bad?" another lamented.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were all complaining; after watching for so long, they had seen all the contestants busy at work, but the first fish caught after all that time was a white fish.

"Wait, look closely, the fish that person has caught seems different from the ordinary white fish," someone noticed.

"Indeed, it’s different, its color is darker than the white fish, and its body structure is also different. Could that be the Anti-wave White Fish?" speculated another.

"The Anti-wave White Fish, the foremost of the four famous fishes? For real? Such a high-scoring fish, caught so easily?" another viewer questioned.

Amidst the audience’s confusion, several experts invited by the organizers spoke up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look closely, the fish that this angler has caught is indeed an Anti-wave White Fish. It looks somewhat similar to the white fish, but there are distinct differences upon closer examination," one expert clarified.

"Now the competition gets interesting. Everyone has been fishless for half the day, and the first fish caught across the whole event is an Anti-wave White Fish! Wait, look over there, it seems someone else has also caught a fish!"

Following the expert’s voice, the video feed switched to another team.

There, a middle-aged angler gracefully lifted his rod, and another small, silvery fish leaped out of the water, identical to the one caught before – it was an Anti-wave White Fish as well!

Before everyone could react, the commentator’s voice suddenly grew excited.

"Look, look! Several teams have caught fish one after another, and that team has also got an Anti-wave White Fish!"

"The Energy Girl Team has caught fish too, just like the others, all Anti-wave White Fish!"

"My goodness, after an initial lull, now everyone’s successively catching fish, and amazingly, they are all Anti-wave White Fish. It seems the population of Anti-wave White Fish in Fuxian Lake has recovered well."

"This is great news. Maybe in our lifetime, everyone here will have the chance to taste the flavor of Anti-wave White Fish...."

Accompanied by the experts’ commentary, the audience was busy following the fishing situation of various teams, which had suddenly livened up.

"Hahaha, this is incredible, no one was catching anything before, and then it’s like a floodgate opened suddenly – many are catching fish now. Could it be these Anti-wave White Fish have some sort of intelligence, deciding to bite all at once?" joked someone.

"I suspect these Anti-wave White Fish were originally in the deep-water areas, and due to everyone’s constant raking, they were attracted over here. Now that the speed of raking nests has evened out, the fish are being caught all at the same time," someone else theorized.

"Makes sense. I’ve been observing, and the first to catch fish were those strong teams. As for those with less ability, who rake the nests slower, they still haven’t had any action," another commented.

Lin Yang and his team had not yet caught any fish.

Only then did everyone notice that several of the leading teams, such as Tianyuan, Energy Girl, Hua Clan, and even some slightly stronger celebrity angler teams, had already started catching fish.

Yet on Lin Yang’s side, the three were still frantically raking their nests, without any sign of a catch.

Some fans started to get anxious on their behalf, and Li Xiaopeng was even more anxious.

He glanced at the nearby Energy Girl Team; the three girls there had already successively caught several fish.

One Anti-wave White Fish was worth 10 points. Their team was only one or two hundred points behind the three girls, and if they kept not catching fish for a while longer, they might end up at the bottom and be eliminated.

"Cousin, what’s going on? Everyone else is catching fish, why don’t we have any action?" Li Xiaopeng asked anxiously.

"It’s quite normal. We’re using shorter rods, so of course, we’re slower than they are," Lin Yang replied calmly.

Both men were using 3.6-meter rods, and Yue’er was even using a 2.7-meter one, whereas the teams that were catching fish generally had rods that were 4.5 or 5.4 meters long.

There is truth to the saying, "a longer rod is a stronger rod."

"So what do we do? Should we switch?" Li Xiaopeng questioned.

"Switch? The fish are about to come to our nest," Lin Yang assured confidently.

Lin Yang remained composed as he cast another line, still coming up empty, but he didn’t seem to mind as he baited his hook and cast out again.
