Faced with a fish that weighed only a few pounds, Bai Yu showed no mercy and began to fish.
Bai Yu and his group are currently near a small island, where the water is not deep, only about twenty meters deep.
For a seasoned angler, how much time would it take to fish at a depth of 20 meters with fish weighing only a few kilograms?
Faced with the creature's resistance, Bai Yu's repeated jerk of the rod was undoubtedly telling the creature one thing: give up resisting, you can't escape my grasp.
And that was indeed the case. Faced with Bai Yu's repeated, powerful reeling in, the creature was quickly brought to the surface by Bai Yu.
But when this guy came to the surface of the sea, Bai Yu asked a question.
"Huh? Where's my fish? I can't see it anywhere. Did it get away? But that doesn't make sense, there's still weight on the fishing rod, so it shouldn't have gotten away!"
That's right, as a seasoned angler, after bringing the fish that had taken the bait to the surface, Bai Yu couldn't find it anywhere. That's pretty absurd.
"Xiao Yu, look over at the net! The fish is right here! Look in the net, I've scooped it up!"
Unlike Bai Yulian, who couldn't find any fish anywhere, Brother Li took a landing net and started working, quickly scooping a fish up from the sea.
That's why Bai Yu was able to see the creature's true form through the landing net.
This is a grouper that is about 50 centimeters long, with a slender body, and its skin has a slight green and blue tinge, and its body is covered with spots.
"Brother Li, this should be a grouper, right? It looks like a Western Star Grouper, judging by its color and spots."
Looking at the fish in the net, Bai Yu gave an answer with a hint of uncertainty.
After all, Bai Yu was very familiar with grouper; he had not only eaten it, but had also caught it many times.
However, he wasn't particularly familiar with the Western Star Spotted Fish. He had only heard of its name and seen photos of it, but he had never actually seen the real thing.
"Wow, Xiaoyu, you're quite knowledgeable! You even recognize a grouper. This is indeed a grouper, and it's a decent size. It should be worth some money."
As Li Ge removed the Western Star Grouper from the hook, he spoke to Bai Yu.
"It really is a grouper. What a pity. I said before that the first fish would be our treat. This is the first time I've caught a grouper. It's time to say goodbye to it."
I wonder if this Western grouper is any good. Compared to Eastern grouper, which one tastes better?
"Hmm? You want to eat this Western grouper? Xiao Yu, I think I need to remind you, although the value of this Western grouper isn't as high as that of the Eastern grouper, it's still considerable. A Western grouper of this size, as long as you can bring it back to the dock..."
Whether it's alive or dead, it can fetch at least a thousand yuan, which is no small sum. You should think carefully!
When Brother Li heard Bai Yu say that he wanted an extra meal for lunch, and that it was grouper, his hands paused for a moment, and then he reminded Bai Yu.
Originally, Brother Li planned to send the grouper to the live fish hold to see if he could keep it alive for a couple of days and then bring it back to the dock alive.
But after hearing Bai Yu's words, he realized he was overthinking things. This guy not only wouldn't make it back to the dock, but he wouldn't even survive today and would be sent to the kitchen soon.
As expected, what Bai Yu said next determined the guy's fate: he was sent to the kitchen for a side meal.
As for the question of the high value of the grouper, that was not within Bai Yu's consideration. He only cared about whether the grouper tasted good.
Li Ge didn't try to dissuade him. Instead, he took a knife and started processing the grouper. First, he drained its blood, then removed its gills, and left the rest to the chef.
After seeing Brother Li take the grouper to the kitchen, Bai Yu baited his hook again and cast his line, eagerly anticipating his next catch.
After all, his first catch was a Western Star Grouper, a type of grouper he had never seen before, and one whose color was similar to that of the seawater, making it appear invisible to him.
He was eager to see what surprises and tricks the grouper might bring him next.
Fishing in a resource-rich area, and the fisherman is a white fisherman with an extremely high luck stat (almost like having cheat codes).
His fishing trip was exceptionally smooth, almost to the point of being frightening.
Bai Yu had barely cast his second line when he caught another fish. He hadn't even had to wait long—at least Brother Li hadn't returned from delivering something to the kitchen yet.
This time, the fish that took the bait was more cautious. It didn't immediately attack the baited hook, but instead probed the area several times.
Each time, it gave Bai Yu the illusion that a fish had taken the bait and that he should quickly lift the rod to hook the fish.
However, Bai Yu's operation was also quite cautious. Each time he probed, the hook would cause the fishing line to move slightly, but the movement was very small.
Even Bai Yu had his fingers on the fishing line, and if he didn't pay close attention, he wouldn't be able to feel the line moving.
In this situation, do you think a white fisherman can lift his rod to hook the fish?
That's definitely not an option. If you lift the rod to hook the fish, you'll be alerting it and scaring it away.
So Bai Yu patiently waited until the fish took a big bite of the bait and the fishing line started to twitch more, then he suddenly lifted the fishing rod and successfully caught the fish.
"You little punk, you think you can outsmart me? I've caught so many fish, and you've only taken a bite a few times. There's no comparison between us!"
While criticizing this guy's ridiculous tricks, Bai Yu started retrieving the line.
This time, the creature that took the bait felt much larger than the Western Star Grouper, but even if it was larger, it was still very limited, and Bai Yu could easily handle it.
Although Bai Yu didn't use a super line this time, the rig he's using now is more than capable of catching fish weighing forty or fifty pounds.
The fish that bit the hook this time only weighed about ten pounds, which was within the range that the fishing line could easily handle.
