The reason Bai Yu put away his fishing rod was not because he didn't want to catch whitebait anymore.
Instead, at the stroke of midnight, he checked his luck value in the system panel, and the previously low luck value was refreshed.
It was this refreshed luck value that made Bai Yu decide to put his fishing rod back up; he wanted to try a different way of fishing.
A new day has arrived, and he has also gained a new luck value of 68 points.
With his luck stat already past 50, Bai Yu definitely needs to change his strategy and switch his fishing target from white-scaled fish to bigger fish.
After all, his luck stat is there. With such a high luck stat, he might not be able to catch a giant fish weighing over 100 pounds, but catching a fish weighing several tens of pounds shouldn't be a problem.
Given the current sea conditions, with a water depth of less than 100 meters, it would be quite difficult to catch a fish weighing over 100 kilograms.
Bai Hao then removed the reel from his fishing rod and replaced it with a large-scale fishing line. He also changed the hooks, adding several different sizes.
"Bai Yu, you're getting a good bite, why are you suddenly changing your gear? Are you trying to catch a big fish?"
The player next to Bai Yu asked a question with a hint of confusion after seeing Bai Yu change his equipment.
After all, the fish were biting very well in Baiyu before, and he caught nearly 100 pounds in just over an hour, which was very efficient.
For the other anglers, given Bai Yu's efficiency, there was absolutely no need to change the fishing line. If he just kept fishing like this, his results on the first night would definitely be excellent.
That's why the other contestants were a little confused and didn't quite understand what Bai Yu was thinking.
"Hmm, let's change the fishing line and see if there are any big fish down there."
As for my previous catch, that was just preparation to avoid going home empty-handed today. Even if I don't catch a single big fish later, it doesn't matter; I've already had a good catch today.
As Bai Yu changed his equipment, he gave an explanation.
This reason was one he had already thought of, and it was a fairly reasonable excuse.
After all, you can't expect Bai Yu to say, "I think I'm having a good day, I have a feeling I'll catch a big fish next."
That's really strange. If he actually said that, who knows what people would think of him? He might as well come up with another reason.
You know what, after hearing this, the other players actually thought it made a lot of sense. Break the turtle first, and then go guard the big fish. It makes perfect sense.
Bai Yu then prepared his fishing rod, baited the hook with mackerel bait, and cast it into the sea.
This fishing trip focused on bottom fishing, with the fishing depth reaching tens of meters, almost a hundred meters.
Next comes the waiting. If you're lucky, you'll only have to wait a short while before a big fish bites. If you're unlucky, then you'll have a long wait.
Five minutes passed, and Bai Yu's fishing rod remained motionless; no fish took the bait.
Ten minutes passed, and just like before, the fishing rod and line remained completely still, without any movement.
During this time, the players on both sides of Baiyu caught fish, and the fish that took the bait were quite big, weighing nearly ten pounds each.
Seeing this, Bai Yu was relieved. This at least proved that there were fish in the waters they were in.
Fourteen and a half minutes later, just when Bai Yu thought that this five-minute period would also be the same as before, with no fish biting the hook,
Suddenly, Bai Yu felt the fishing line move as it was being pulled out of the water at a very fast speed, and he could feel a very obvious friction between his fingers.
? ? ?
What does this mean? After waiting for a long time without any fish, a big fish is suddenly given to it.
Since that's the case, Bai Yu wasn't going to be polite to the fish that had taken the bait. He suddenly lifted the fishing rod upwards, while simultaneously pulling the line back up with his right hand, creating a powerful collision with the fish.
Perhaps because Bai Yu's attack was very sudden, this guy didn't put up any resistance when Bai Yu reeled in the line, and easily reeled in a circle of fishing line.
Then, belatedly, this guy realized what was happening and started to fight back, dragging the fishing line.
But at this moment, Bai Yu had already released the crank handle of the reel and then turned on the drag, letting the guy escape on his own.
During the reeling process, Bai Yu also got a feel for the fish. The fish that took the bait this time wasn't very big, at least not a giant, weighing only about fifty or sixty pounds.
A fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds, though a bit big, is only a bit big.
In fact, Bai Yu is a rather kind person. For example, right now, he didn't immediately pull the guy back to the starting line, but let him run around on his own for a while.
Let this guy experience the possibility of escape first, otherwise, once Bai Yu makes his move, this guy will be in despair and will no longer see any possibility of escaping.
The fishing line used by Bai Yu is a full 500 meters long, which is quite a good length.
After the fishing line had traveled 200 meters, Bai Yu felt that it was about time. He had let the fish experience everything it needed to experience, and now it was Bai Yu's turn to shine.
Bai Yu then grabbed the handle of the reel, took a deep breath, and began to reel in the line.
The most important thing when reeling in the line is rhythm, and rhythm is closely related to breathing, so Bai Yu needs to make some adjustments.
As Bai Yu exerted his strength, the fishing line, which was still extending outwards, immediately stopped, locked in place and could no longer move forward.
What made the fish even more desperate was that it could no longer escape, and it was even slowly retreating.
It had spent a long time and a lot of effort dragging away the fishing line, but now it's starting to lose its grip immediately.
For Bai Yu, going head-to-head with a fish weighing fifty or sixty pounds is not an easy task.
Although Bai Yu currently has the advantage and is reeling in the fishing line, he is still consuming energy.
In order to catch the fish more quickly, Bai Yu had to resort to some rather unscrupulous methods.
As is well known, Bai Yu is a long-distance runner, and a top one at that, with his power primarily concentrated in his legs.
In order to catch the fish, Bai Yu held the fishing rod and backed away with a slight tilt of his head back, while quickly pulling the rod and reeling in the line as he retreated.
After retreating about seven or eight meters, he took a few steps forward. During this process, his right hand rotated very quickly, rapidly reeling in the fishing line.
Using your own weight and leg muscle strength, help yourself quickly return to the back line.
After repeating this several times, Bai Yu had reeled in nearly several tens of meters of fishing line, at an astonishing speed.
After experiencing the benefits of this method, Bai Yu increased the speed of reeling in the line, and the fishing line was continuously being retrieved by him.
From the time he started reeling in the line, only seven or eight minutes had passed, and there wasn't much fishing line left on the reel; only a dozen meters remained before he had to reel it all in.
At that moment, Bai Yu could see the creature directly on the sea surface.
Illuminated by the lights on the fishing boat, Bai Yu immediately noticed the creature's distinctive features, particularly its needle-like upper jaw.
Bai Yu initially thought he had caught a sailfish, but after looking for a long time and not seeing that large fin, he realized he was wrong. This fish was not a sailfish, but a swordfish.
By the time Bai Yu dragged the swordfish to the side of the boat, it was already floating on the surface of the sea, barely moving.
This guy had already exhausted most of his stamina in his fight with Bai Yu.
In addition, the white fish reeled in the line very quickly, and the rapid reeling caused a sharp change in water pressure, which also affected the swordfish.
Although the change in water pressure didn't kill the swordfish, it was close. The creature wasn't very energetic anymore; it didn't seem to want to move.
For swordfish, which are somewhat aggressive, the way white fishermen deal with them is to kill them first and then bring them onto the deck.
For this competition, each fishing boat was equipped with a considerable number of harpoons, specifically for dealing with these large fish.
Bai Yu grabbed a harpoon and, without hesitation, shot the creature in the head, giving the swordfish a quick death.
It was more than ten minutes later when Bai Yu finished processing the swordfish and sent it to the freezer.
When he returned, the fishermen on both sides looked at him with envy, their expressions clearly visible on their faces.
