Based on this arrangement, the result of the third round was predictable. Zhang Yang's trio unsurprisingly filled in the pit, not securing any of the top four positions.
After accumulating prize money from the first two rounds, the third round's prize pool reached 652.5 yuan, with the winner receiving a full 326.
The winner of this round was Xu Tao, who won decisively with an advantage of four fish, leaving Chen Xueqiang, who came in second, quite frustrated.
After three rounds of fish-catching competitions, the fund accumulated yet remained at 236 yuan. It was lunchtime, and everyone agreed to resume at 1:30 PM for a break.
Typically, Zhang Yang and his crew would just buy some food casually to get by, but having won money in the morning, and Zhang Yang wanted to have a private chat with his two brothers, so the three got in a car and went out to find a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
