Although Bai Yu hasn't fished for a while, he still has the reaction time.
As the force came through the fishing rod, his hands instinctively gripped it tightly, seizing control of it firmly.
Immediately afterward, he grabbed the fishing rod and jerked it upward. An eye for an eye, Bai Hao retaliated by lifting the rod to hook the fish.
He then turned the decelerator to its maximum setting, so that while the creature was escaping, he would also put pressure on it, preventing it from running freely.
"Brother Yu, you've already caught a fish? You're still so fast, it's astonishing!"
"Shuangzi, you'd better be referring to the frequency of catching fish. If you mean something else, then you're in big trouble."
"Something else? What did I mean? Brother Yu, don't wrong me, I'm a good person!"
Whether you're a good person or not, you know it in your heart.
The fish has been caught, so why doesn't Bai Yu seem nervous at all?
Not only was he not nervous, he even had time to chat with Li Shuang and got into the car.
Bai Yu was so calm for two main reasons. One was that he was confident in his fishing gear and equipment, and that it was impossible for this guy to cut the line.
As for decoupling, there's no way to guarantee that. Bai Yu has already done everything he could. Whether or not they decouple is up to fate.
The reason he didn't confront the other party head-on was because Bai Yu had just sensed the size of the fish that had taken the bait, and it felt like it weighed over 200 pounds.
Bai Yu couldn't possibly fight a fish of this size head-on, so he planned to let the fish run around a bit to wear down its stamina.
The line he used this time was 1,500 meters long. He left 500 meters of space for the big fish to move around, and the depth at which Bai Yu fished was about 140 meters.
If we calculate it that way, the big fish that took the bait can still run for about 300 meters before the white fisherman has to put in his effort.
What? You mean why not just let this guy run until he's completely exhausted?
Impossible. For a tuna, 1,500 meters is less than a nautical mile. It's a distance it can cover in the blink of an eye.
Even if Bai Yu has a decelerator, so what? In front of a real big fish, even if the decelerator is turned up to the maximum, it's still a piece of cake.
Before long, Bai Yu glanced at the scale on the reel, then immediately grabbed the reel handle with his right hand, took a deep breath, and began to work hard against it.
"Heh, come on, baby, let's see who can outlast whom, and who will be the ultimate victor!"
As Bai Yu exerted his strength, the muscles in his right arm immediately bulged, and the veins stood out, making him look like he was using all his strength.
Despite being a long-distance running champion, unmatched in this area, Bai Yu's explosive power in the upper body is still lacking.
As he struggled with all his might to resist the fish's resistance, Bai Yu found himself in a state of constant retreat as the fish, having taken the bait, suddenly erupted into a frenzy.
Since it hadn't been long since the fish that had taken the bait unleashed its power, it was in its prime. The fish's explosive force was beyond Bai Yu's expectations; it didn't seem like a 200-pound fish at all, but rather a fish that weighed close to 300 pounds, or even larger.
"Damn it, hold on! Hold on! Every little bit helps!"
Faced with this guy's attack, Bai Yu's face turned red. Even so, his right hand was still pulled counterclockwise by the guy with the hook.
Anyone who has used a reel knows that if you turn the reel clockwise, you're pulling the line back in; if you turn it counterclockwise, the result is predictable.
Furthermore, being turned counterclockwise by this giant creature also causes significant damage to Bai Yu's right hand; one wrong move and he could easily injure it.
Even so, Bai Yu gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to fight this guy a little longer with his tenacious willpower!
As for whether he's panicking or not, what's there to panic about? This competition is a team competition, and a team is a team. There are four of them. Even if he can't beat this big fish, he still has Li Shuang and others to help him.
Therefore, Bai Yu was not flustered at all and just went for it head-on. If he couldn't handle it himself, he would call for help.
One minute later.
"Ah Hai, Ah Hai, have you caught any fish over there? If not, hurry up and come over and lend me a hand. I'll go watch your fishing rod for you."
The battle was swift and decisive. From the moment Bai Yu began to exert his strength, it was less than two minutes before his right hand started to ache and weaken.
If he wanted to continue, he could have persisted, but there was no need. He has backup, so replacing him sooner would allow him to rest and fight again later.
Of course, although Bai Yu didn't hold out for long, he managed to prevent the guy from taking too much fishing line from him, and he managed to keep quite a few fishing lines.
At Bai Yu's call, Wang Hai quickly appeared beside her, took the fishing rod from her hand, and began to attack the guy.
Bai Yu then went to Wang Hai's fishing rod and took it in her hand.
Just as Bai Yu was about to stretch his aching right arm, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly bent down.
? ? ?
What's going on? Another fish caught? Is this some kind of crazy situation? Can't I have a break?
Bai Yu mentally complained, but that didn't stop him from doing what he was doing. He grabbed the fishing rod and suddenly lifted it upwards.
It was this act of setting the hook that made Bai Yu notice something different: the fish that bit the hook this time didn't seem to be very big, and it wasn't the tuna he had imagined.
After having this feeling, for some reason, Bai Yu felt a sense of relief and calm down.
"Wait a minute, I shouldn't be thinking like that. We're in a competition, and one of the challenges is catching as many tuna as possible. The more tuna we catch, the more money we make!"
With that in mind, Bai Yu picked up his fishing rod and began to quickly reel in the line. He wanted to catch this not-so-big fish as soon as possible and then cast the next time.
Hopefully, they can catch a tuna on their next cast, the bigger the better, because they want to win the championship!
As Bai Yu exerted his strength, he was completely unconcerned about whether the fish that had taken the bait would be affected by the water pressure and cause any problems.
The current focus of white fishing is speed; the faster you catch the fish that have taken the bait, the better.
In just over two minutes, Bai Yu caught a large red octopus.
I don't know whether to say that this giant octopus was unlucky or that Bai Yu was lucky.
This giant octopus wasn't even there to bite the hook. It was just walking past it when, somehow, one of its tentacles got caught on the hook, and it got caught through the hook completely, so it couldn't get rid of it.
Even after Bai Yu brought it to the surface, the mackerel still hung perfectly intact on the hook.
It's outrageous! This giant octopus, weighing nearly ten pounds, was caught by Bai Yuhe, who then sliced off its head with a single stroke and emptied out its internal organs, teeth, and everything else.
Bai Yu was very efficient when it came to handling octopus; don't forget, their company owns a squid fishing boat.
Besides squid and crab traps, this fishing boat also catches octopus. Their processing plant produces octopus heads and tentacles, which are top-selling seafood products.
"Sneaker, look what I caught! A giant octopus! Take it to the kitchen and blanch it. Remember to add some scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. We'll have it for lunch today!"
Bai Yu held the cleaned octopus and then called Snake over.
Snake was originally watching Wang Hai fish from behind, but as soon as he heard there would be an extra meal at noon, he came running over excitedly.
As a China enthusiast who studied in China, Snake has a strong preference for Chinese food.
He was also a very good student of Bai Yu, and knew that Bai Yu had a chef father. In his opinion, Bai Yu's cooking skills must be very good, so he was quite looking forward to lunch.
After handing the giant octopus over to Snake, Bai Yu baited his hook again and cast it into the sea.
Although he only caught one octopus, Bai Yu had done some exercise by reeling in the line, and the soreness in his right hand had lessened considerably.
While waiting for the next fish to bite, he was also keeping a close eye on Wang Hai's situation, as were Li Shuang and Lu Sheng.
There were only four people fishing on this fishing boat, which was over ten meters long. Since there were enough spots, all four of them chose to fish at the bow of the boat so that they could easily support the others at any time.
As time went on, Wang Hai's side soon couldn't hold on any longer either.
Although Wang Hai was stronger than Bai Yu in terms of strength, it was only by a limited margin, and those extra few minutes of effort did not change the final result.
Then Lu Sheng stepped up. Under the fierce attack of this man from Inner Mongolia, and with the wear and tear from Bai Yu and Wang Hai, he finally managed to fight him to a standstill.
However, this only resulted in a stalemate. Lu Sheng couldn't reel in the line; whenever he tried to reel it in, the hooked creature would also exert force.
This guy can even be shameless, no longer limiting himself to running in one direction, but running back and forth in all directions.
This caused Lu Sheng quite a bit of trouble, because when this guy changed direction, Lu Sheng also had to change direction along with him.
Sometimes he faced the southeast corner, sometimes the northeast corner, turning around and around.
With the scorching sun overhead, Lu Sheng felt like he was a skewer of lamb, being grilled on one side and then on the other, just waiting for a sprinkle of cumin.
Lu Sheng was then replaced by Li Shuang. After Li Shuang had also persisted for a few minutes, all four of their Haida F4 had taken turns, and nearly twenty minutes had passed.
Through the combined efforts of the four of them, using a relay-style approach, they exhausted the fish that had taken the bait.
Once the fishing rod was back in Bai Yu's hands, he was able to start reeling in the line, though not very quickly.
After all, the creature that bit the hook was just weak; it wasn't dead. Its slight struggle was enough to hinder the fisherman's reeling in the line.
Another hour passed, and thanks to the efforts of Bai Yu, Wang Hai, and Li Shuang, a giant tuna surfaced.
By observing the dark blue, almost black skin on the fish's back, Bai Yu could tell that his first catch of the day was a bluefin tuna, and a huge one at that!
"Ah Hai, get your harpoon ready. Make sure you aim accurately. This tuna is huge, so don't mess it up at the last minute!"
Bai Yu looked at the bluefin tuna on the sea surface and couldn't contain his excitement.
This bluefin tuna was huge! He hadn't caught a tuna this big in a long time, so he couldn't help but be excited!
"Don't worry, Brother Yu. Apart from Ah Sheng catching some fish, Ah Hai and I are all ready. We're just waiting for you to drag this guy over."
"Okay, get ready, big head up!"
With a shout from Bai Yu, he exerted force with his right hand once again, lifting the head of the tuna that had reached the side of the boat.
Wang Hai, who was standing nearby, was already waiting with his speargun. As soon as the fish's head left the water, Wang Hai found a good angle, decisively raised his gun and fired. The arrow hit the tuna's head precisely.
In its agony, the tuna began its final burst of energy, making one last ruckus on the surface of the sea as its life drew to a close.
