As soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, the humpback whale's massive head burst out of the sea, and the resulting wave knocked John and Fu Wan to the ground.
Bai Qianzhou also saw what was happening behind him, and he quickly turned the rudder to increase the ship's speed to the maximum.
Fu Wan took several steps back and wiped the water off her face, while John was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up.
"My God, what do we do now?"
He never expected that the fish he caught would be a humpback whale!
The next second, John's fishing rod flew out again and crashed into the ship's railing. Fu Wan looked up at the sound and vaguely saw the black silhouette of a humpback whale in the sea.
Because of the constantly rising waves, the ship was rocking violently. Fu Wan immediately reached for the knife at her feet, grabbed the railing with one hand, and then used the other hand to pick up the knife from the ground.
Just as she finally managed to pick up the knife, the humpback whale broke the surface of the water again. Fu Wan immediately slashed at the taut fishing line with the knife, and with a "clang," the fishing line snapped.
Without the tugging fishing line, the humpback whale probably couldn't feel the pain anymore, and Bai Qianzhou took advantage of this opening to steer the boat far away.
There was no movement at sea for the time being. Fu Wan wiped the water droplets from her hair. Damn, that was really exciting.
Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen someone catch a humpback whale while fishing.
John was soaked from head to toe. When the humpback whale stopped leaping out of the water, he collapsed onto the deck.
"Sorry, Fu, thank you. God bless me. If it weren't for you, I might have gone to see Jesus."
His hands were still trembling. Jesus, when the humpback whale lunged at the stern, he truly felt as if he were seeing his deceased grandfather.
That's terrifying!
John was so frightened that Fu Wan couldn't bear to blame him. After all, who would have thought that the fish that had taken the bait would be snatched away by a humpback whale?
"It's okay, buddy. You're the one who caught a humpback whale now."
Fu Wan comforted him for a moment, saying that although John was not very capable, he was easygoing and had prepared boats and other things for them, which saved them a lot of trouble.
It should be noted that his primary role was as a shield, and in that respect, he was quite responsible.
John breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fu Wan really didn't blame him.
He then hurriedly got up to check the stern. After all, a humpback whale is a humpback whale; its strength of over a hundred tons is no joke.
The railing at the stern was completely flattened, but fortunately, nothing else was damaged, and it didn't affect the boat's movement.
When the humpback whale slammed against the boat, Fu Wan didn't even have time to reel in her fishing rod; she simply tossed it aside.
Fu Wan casually grabbed a dry towel to dry her hair, and just as she was about to pick up the fishing rod, it suddenly moved.
There's fish!
Fu Wan quickly grabbed the fishing rod. The fish was quite strong, and Fu Wan had a rather outrageous guess in her mind.
Surely that humpback whale hasn't taken the bait again?
No, no, please bless me, it has to be tuna, but if that doesn't work, any other fish will do.
Just no whales and sharks!
Fu Wan silently recited the instructions to herself, while her hands continued to methodically reel in and release the fishing line.
John was soaking wet after what had just happened.
He picked up his broken fishing rod, having lost all interest in fishing.
So when he dejectedly went into the cabin to change his clothes, he didn't notice that Fu Wan had caught a fish.
Seeing that there was no more movement behind him, Bai Qianzhou was about to stop the boat and go to the back to see what was going on. He walked to the deck and was about to ask what had happened when he saw Fu Wan playing with the fish.
"Ah Wan, let me walk her!"
Fu Wan didn't want to be polite with him, but this fish was also sitting in deep water, and it would be difficult to play the fish if the boat didn't move.
"You should go and drive the boat; you have to use a boat to handle this fish."
For some reason, she felt that this fish was unusual.
Where is John?
"Change your clothes in the cabin."
"Then I'll have him drive the boat."
Bai Qianzhou quickly went over and knocked on the cabin door. John had just changed into a clean set of clothes and came out.
"Perfect timing, John, hurry up and get the boat going, we've caught a fish over there."
John hurriedly did as he was told. He went to start the boat, and Bai Qianzhou naturally went to call Fu Wan to fish.
When Fu Wan saw someone starting the boat, she handed him her fishing rod.
She found a thick hemp rope nearby, and with her hands flying up and down, she made a rope knot in no time.
Bai Qianzhou had also mastered the art of maneuvering the fish. He gritted his teeth and maneuvered it for about half an hour before Fu Wan spotted the fish near the boat.
The fish was very big, really very big.
But it's not a humpback whale.
Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing what the fish looked like. If it really was a humpback whale, their luck today was truly incredible.
"Ah Wan, the fishhook!"
Seeing that the fish had already surfaced, Bai Qianzhou's tone of voice carried a hint of excitement.
Fu Wan carried the fishing hook over, and after seeing the shape of the fish, she pulled the rope knot back.
Of course, she didn't forget to tell John to stop the boat.
The fish are all exhausted from being played, so there's no need to keep the boat moving.
Upon hearing this, John quickly ran to Fu Wan's side, and when he saw the bluefin tuna in the sea, he exclaimed in surprise again.
"tuna!"
It's a bluefin finned one!
It was supposed to be off-season for tuna fishing!
John was shocked, then felt a pang of sadness. How come everyone else caught such big and valuable tuna, but he caught a scary humpback whale?
It's good that the ship didn't sink today.
"John, come quick and help me lasso the tuna!"
Fu Wan turned her head and realized that the person was still in a daze, so she urged him again.
"Okay, buddy, watch this!"
John had experience fishing for tuna; his grandfather, also a fisherman, had taught him how to tie up such large fish.
Tie the ropes around the fish when they are tired, and then attach them to the crane on the boat.
John is a very optimistic person. The boat he rented was the cheapest one in the rental company because the crane on the boat was too big, and others complained that the machine took up too much space.
This large crane came in handy; shortly after it started, the tuna was hoisted onto the deck.
It's no exaggeration to say that this was the biggest tuna Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou had ever seen.
"Oh my god, let me check the weight. It's 400 pounds!"
"Fu, Bai, you guys are amazing! I think you deserve to be in the newspapers."
Fu Wan couldn't believe that the tuna weighed nearly 400 pounds, but it was at least two meters tall, so the weight should be correct.
It seems that fish in Florida tend to be large, whether it's the oarfish she encountered or this enormous tuna.
Haha, old William must be grinning from ear to ear now!
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou looked at each other and smiled. They thought they would spend a lot of money coming to the beautiful country, but now it seems they can make a lot of money.
Now, she can return all the funds the camp gave her when she gets back. Just thinking about Sun Shao-ping's shocked expression makes Fu Wan very happy!
