Each target fish caught had to be represented by its largest specimen, assembling three different types of big fish, and then calculating their total weight.
Moreover, there was one inflexible rule in the competition: only teams that caught all three species would have valid scores.
That meant that teams had to catch at least one Sea Bass, one Yellow croaker, and one Sea Red Spot for the score to count, and only the largest fish of each species would contribute to the score.
Once the competition format was announced, many netizens quickly analyzed the difficulties of such a format, the effects it would produce, and the strategies the teams ought to adopt.
"Selecting the largest one of each of the three target fish species for the score is really tough; you have to catch at least one of each."
