As they approached their destination, Bai Yu and the others took their fishing gear and went up to the deck, gazing into the distance.
In their field of vision, there were countless small black dots on the sea ahead, and each of these small black dots represented a ship.
As the yacht got closer to these small black dots, Bai Yu and the others could see the fishermen on the other boat, each holding a fishing rod and fishing.
Even more interestingly, some of them are currently wrestling with a large fish, and those guys have such ferocious expressions, it's clear they're using all their strength.
Just then, as their yacht was still sailing forward, a sailfish suddenly leaped out of the sea right in front of them, demonstrating to them what it means to be able to leap freely in the vast ocean!
Under the sunlight, the sailfish was covered with a layer of golden armor, looking exceptionally majestic.
"My goodness, Brother Yu, did you see that? That's a sailfish, right? With that wide dorsal fin, it's definitely a sailfish, and it must be at least three meters long!"
Bai Hao and the others saw this scene not far away, and then Li Shuang said to Bai Hao with a shocked expression.
"Pretty much. It must have been a big fish, three or four meters long, otherwise the sailfish's dorsal fin wouldn't be so wide!"
Bai Yu was definitely the most familiar with sailfish among everyone present, after all, he had caught so many sailfish.
He even caught some fish that were three or four meters long; he knew exactly what a giant sailfish looked like.
"Brother Fisherman, what do you say? Let's just moor the yacht here, cast our lines, and start fishing. I can't wait!"
"Exactly. Judging from the size of that sailfish we just caught, if we could catch it, we should be able to sell it for tens of thousands of dollars."
"If we get a few more, we'll have enough for one refueling!"
After listening to Li Shuang and the others' suggestions, Bai Yu had only one idea: to stop the boat and start fishing.
In response, Bai Hao immediately took out his walkie-talkie and called the captain and others on the ship, asking them to find a relatively open area to moor the boat and fish.
There were quite a few boats around, so Bai Yu and his crew couldn't just stop their boats whenever they wanted and fish wherever they wanted. They needed to find a place where they wouldn't disturb other anglers and could fish quietly by themselves.
After all, this time they were facing a giant fish weighing over 100 kilograms, which was quite different from fishing in the past.
The fishing line needed for catching big fish must be long, and the required length must also be increased, so there must be enough space to play the fish.
With so many restrictions in place, anglers who specialize in catching giant fish naturally don't want any other boats around them; ideally, they'd prefer to be the only ones fishing on the entire ocean.
After Bai Yu finished speaking with the captain, the other party began to look for an open area at sea. Before long, the yacht slowed down and came to a stop.
After the yacht stopped, Bai Yu still liked to take a look around. The location the captain had chosen was quite good; there wasn't a single fishing boat within a 200-meter radius.
Two hundred meters may not seem like a long distance, but it's already the limit. After all, the resources here are too good. If they want something bigger, they'll have to leave.
However, for Bai Yu, a seasoned angler, everything was negotiable before he saw the sailfish, and he could even do things according to the other party's wishes.
So, Bai Yu naturally wanted to fish here, and in his mind, he already considered that sailfish as his own.
As soon as the yacht came to a stop, Bai Yu immediately baited his fishing hook and cast it out.
Following that, Bai Yu chopped up some more mackerel, dividing each fish into two or three pieces. He chopped up about ten mackerel, weighing about ten pounds, and threw them all next to the fishing hook that Bai Hao had used.
He refused to believe it; he had already started baiting the area, how could he not catch a big fish?
Even if they couldn't catch anything, Bai Yu had already prepared a backup plan this year. When they were traveling in Shantou, they bought a mermaid costume there.
If they really can't catch a big fish, Bai Yu plans to have Li Shuang swim around in the water wearing this outfit, and then they'll catch it. Wouldn't that be a super big fish, and a mermaid at that?
With everything ready, all that's left is to wait, waiting for the first fish to bite the hook.
Bai Yu and his team came here to catch big fish, so they had already put on their hooks and calves early on. As soon as a big fish bites the hook, they can immediately start fishing!
And it wasn't just Bai Yu who was like this; all four of the men were like this. As for the girls like Li Xue, how could they be expected to do the heavy lifting?
However, to prevent them from catching big fish or having their hooks bitten, Bai Yu still took some preventative measures for them.
For example, they would tie the sling to the railing of the yacht, while Bai Yu and the others would tie it directly to their own hands.
Additionally, prepare a few fishing rod holders for them to free their hands and prevent them from getting wrist injuries from being attacked by big fish.
As for Bai Yu and the others, they all held their fishing rods in their hands with the handles on the top of their heads, so they could react immediately if a big fish took the bait.
Another fishing method is to hold the fishing rod in your hand, which is also the most exciting way to operate. Bai Yu and his friends haven't experienced the moment of wrestling with a big fish in a long time.
The wait was quite long; so long that Bai Yu and his three companions stood by the railing for half a day, their backs aching, without a single fish biting their hooks.
Not only were there no big fish biting the hook, but there weren't even any meter-long barracudas or anything like that.
Finally, Bai Hao and the others took out the fishing rod holders, put the fishing rods on them, and tied the safety ropes to the railings. The four of them, wearing helmets, sat on the deck and chatted.
They were all on high alert, hoping for a big fish to bite, but they waited for a long time and didn't catch a single fish.
But just as they relaxed and were about to drink their beverages, the opportunity they had been waiting for arrived.
This opportunity didn't keep them waiting long. Just as Bai Yu and the others sat down and took out their drinks and snacks, a series of rapid 'swish' sounds suddenly rang out on the deck.
The ocean is very open, and sound travels very fast in such an environment. However, there is a downside: it is easy to not be able to tell where the sound is coming from.
"A fish caught? Whose fishing rod caught a fish?"
The four members of the Ocean University F4 were originally sitting on the deck chatting and drinking when they heard this sound. They immediately looked at their fishing rods, their eyes filled with confusion.
"Stop looking, you won't see anything. Just go and look at your own fishing rod and you'll know."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he stood up from the deck, dusted himself off, and walked toward his fishing rod.
Unfortunately, the sound didn't come from his fishing rod, which he had already confirmed.
Just as he was about to turn around and sit on the deck, another rapid 'swish' sound came. This time, Bai Yu could clearly feel that the sound was coming from behind him.
Moreover, this sound was even louder than before. If we were to judge the size of the fish solely by its sound, then this fish that took the bait must be much larger than the previous one.
However, this is just speculation. Bai Yu has neither tried to feel it nor caught the fish yet, so it's all just speculation.
However, one thing he was certain of was that the sound came from behind him, and there was only one thing behind him that could make that sound: his fishing rod.
If I'm not mistaken, there should be a fish biting his fishing rod.
Bai Yu immediately turned around and walked towards his fishing rod. He then pulled the rod sharply, intending to teach the fish that had taken the bait a lesson first. He hoped that this time, the hook would be deeply embedded in the fish's mouth.
He didn't hold back at all when he lifted the rod to set the hook; he used all his strength. If the timing was right, he would definitely be able to keep the fish.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu noticed that the tip of his fishing rod bent down. From this, he could confirm one thing: the fish that had taken the bait had been left for him.
Moreover, the fishing line is still extending outwards at a very fast speed, all of which indicate that the fish that has taken the bait is a big one.
Moreover, it was coated with a force-dissipating agent, but it hadn't had any effect on it for a long time. This guy's strength is truly considerable.
Bai Yu then took the fishing rod off the stand, placed the rod handle on the top of the rod, took a deep breath, and immediately grabbed the reel handle to test its depth.
However, as Bai Yu exerted force with his right arm, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming from the fishing rod. This force was so great that Bai Yu's current strength was not enough to withstand it.
Bai Yu immediately released his grip on the reel handle, and the guy ran away.
In Bai Yu's opinion, the fish that took the bait this time must have been a large fish weighing at least three or four hundred pounds, otherwise it wouldn't have put so much pressure on him.
It was a big fish weighing three or four hundred pounds. He hadn't caught such a big fish in a long time, and he didn't know what kind of fish it was.
