Overall, it was mostly amateur anglers of non-professional level, with only Ding Wen and Chen Xueqiang having some technical prowess.
As the organizer of the fish-off, Ding Wen magically pulled out a deck of cards from his pants pocket and marked the seat numbers with a marker in front of everyone. Soon, everyone gathered to start the random draw.
Zhang Yang had no concept of nervousness for this level of fish-off, deliberately held back a bit to draw last, keeping most of his attention on Meng Fan and Little Brother Liu Zi.
Strangely enough, just before, Meng Fan and Liu Zi seemed uneasy and anxious, but when it was time for the draw, they appeared calm, getting into the zone as they drew.
There were 15 participants in total for the fish-off, Zhang Yang casually drew number 12, and Liu Zi and Meng Fan's seats were pretty ordinary too, neither on an empty side. Overall, everything was quite standard.
