After this Napoleon wrasse disrupted my fishing rhythm and caused me to waste more than an hour for no reason,
Bai Yu first went to the cabin to change his clothes, then changed into a drier life jacket, and returned to his fishing spot.
Although they are currently in the South China Sea, which is relatively close to the equator.
But it's almost the end of the year, and with the sea at night, the temperature is quite low.
In addition, the sea breeze blowing from the ocean from time to time makes the temperature quite low, a bit chilly.
Bai Yu then baited his hook again and threw it into the sea.
Bai Yu's mentality adjustment is relatively quick. It's just a little over an hour. Next time, just give him a big fish, as long as it's about the same size as the Napoleon wrasse from before, and he can make up for the time he wasted.
However, while Bai Yu's idea was very beautiful, the reality was very cruel; it wasn't something Bai Yu could catch just because he wanted to.
Indeed, that was the case. After casting the white fishing rod, he didn't have to wait long, at most five or six minutes, before his fishing rod once again caught a fish.
However, this time the fish was biting very slowly, and the line was coming out very slowly. Bai Yu didn't pay much attention at first, but when the line kept coming out slowly, he realized something was wrong.
Then he suddenly lifted the fishing rod upwards and felt something hanging on the hook, though it wasn't very big.
A few minutes later, Bai Yu pulled up the fish that had taken the bait.
He caught a giant blue crab from the deep sea!
Looking at the large blue crab hanging on the fishing hook, Bai Yu was already used to it. When fishing in the sea, you can catch anything.
Not to mention crabs, I've also caught lobsters and whitebait, and I've even caught sea snails.
In short, there's nothing that whitebait can't catch, only things you can't imagine.
For this competition, apart from those worthless sea fish and those under protection, all other seafood caught from the sea can be counted in the competition results.
Although this large blue crab is not heavy, only compared to those large fish, its size is still quite good among blue crabs.
At least in Bai Yu's opinion, this guy was about the size of his head, and his weight was definitely over two pounds.
If you were to take this size of mud crab to the market, it would easily sell for over 100 yuan per jin (500 grams). It's definitely a super-sized mud crab!
Bai Yu had already decided how to handle the large blue crab. He decided not to count it as part of his catch and would steam and eat it after he finished fishing.
He expended a lot of energy tonight and needs to eat something good to replenish himself.
After Bai Yu took the crab off the hook, he didn't even need to re-bait the hook; he simply threw it back in.
Whitebait fishing is relatively fast, and crabs have small mouths, so they can't eat much bait in such a short time.
The mackerel on the hook hasn't been eaten much, so there's no need to change the bait. Just keep using the same bait to fish.
This time the wait was quite long. I don't know if the fish in the spot he was fishing for had all escaped, or if there was some other reason. He waited for more than half an hour.
Just as Bai Yu was beginning to doubt whether his luck stat was a bit too low today, he opened his system panel and took a look.
It was well past midnight, and the luck stats for the new day had already been updated. He could now check how high his luck stats were for the new day.
After watching, he knew that the lack of fish biting in the past half hour had nothing to do with his luck level; perhaps some big fish was brewing something big.
Because it's a new day, Bai Yu's luck value is very high, much higher than the previous day, reaching a high of 93 points after the bonus.
With such a high luck stat, he could catch any kind of fish, so if no fish bites for half a day, it's definitely not a matter of luck.
Bai Yu could only offer one explanation for this situation: some big fish was brewing something big.
Who knows, the next fish to bite might be an incredibly huge one, so big it's almost unbelievable.
This is Bai Yu's explanation to himself; you could also say it's a way for him to comfort himself.
However, after receiving this psychological comfort, Bai Yu's mindset improved considerably, and she began to continue waiting.
As time ticked by, Bai Yu still hadn't caught a fish, and his stomach began to rumble.
It was already past midnight, and Bai Yu himself was getting hungry from waiting.
Just as his stomach started growling, the tip of Bai Yu's fishing rod suddenly bent down, and the fishing line was also pulling out of the line at a very fast speed.
Faced with the sudden change, Bai Yu's mind hadn't even registered what was happening, but his hands reacted first.
He grabbed the fishing rod and jerked it upwards, then activated the drag. The whole movement was so smooth, as if he had practiced it countless times.
Indeed, that's true. Bai Yu has done this set of movements countless times, if not millions of times, then at least tens of thousands of times.
I started sea fishing in Baiyu, and it's been seven years now.
Catching tens of thousands of fish in seven years is something not everyone can do. Even Bai Yu counted both big and small fish to come up with a catch of tens of thousands.
It was through this experience of lifting the rod to hook the fish that he discovered something from the weight transmitted back from the fishing rod: the fish that had taken the bait this time was also a big one.
Moreover, it was a large fish no smaller than the previous Napoleon wrasse. In that instant, Bai Yu's spirits immediately lifted, and he looked at the sea with excitement.
"Hey, I finally caught another big fish! Hopefully it's not another Napoleon wrasse this time. If it's another Napoleon wrasse or some other protected marine fish, I'm quitting. It's too frustrating!"
Bai Yu muttered something to herself.
Just as Bai Yu himself said, if this time it's another Napoleon wrasse, or some other protected marine fish, like a hammerhead shark, then it's really going to be a bit of a nightmare.
If you have two opportunities to significantly improve your grades and then both of them are ruined, that would be truly disastrous.
However, before catching this big fish, no one can say for sure what kind of fish has taken the bait. We can't just let Bai Yu cut the line now.
So now all Bai Yu needs to do is catch this fish as quickly as possible, find out what kind of fish it is, and then do nothing else.
Faced with such a large fish, Bai Yu still planned to use the same method as before: first, harass the fish by playing it, and then quickly exhaust its stamina before finally catching it.
However, as Bai Yu worked, he soon noticed something was wrong: the fish that had taken the bait seemed a bit too big.
Bai Yu initially thought this creature weighed over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg), and was at least larger than the Napoleon wrasse from before.
And that was indeed the case. This guy did give the impression of weighing over 200 pounds, but not just over 200 pounds, it was even possible that he weighed over 300 or 400 pounds.
Catching a fish weighing three or four hundred pounds in our South China Sea area is quite difficult, at least if you were to ask Bai Yu himself.
We do have such large sea fish here, but there aren't many varieties, and the quantity is also limited.
Tuna is one, sailfish can also be considered one, and I don't know what else is left, like whitebait.
But if you're talking about big fish that aren't valuable, the great white shark could be considered one, the ocean sunfish could be considered one, hammerhead sharks can also be this big, and dolphins are even more so.
There are far more valuable, protected marine fish than large, commercially viable fish species.
At this moment, Bai Yu began to have some doubts about the species of his large fish; it probably couldn't be a great white shark.
Given his luck today, he should have caught a tuna, and it should have been a bluefin tuna.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of his high luck score today!
The same underhanded tactics become less effective when facing truly big fish.
After all, the bigger the fish, the stronger it is, and the more endurance it has.
In just a few minutes, the harassment caused by Bai Yu's repeated casting caused the fish to run hundreds of meters away, leaving not much fishing line.
When the fishing line reached 500 meters, Bai Yu decided not to wait any longer and decided to take matters into his own hands and confront the guy head-on.
Although Bai Yu knew that, given his own strength, he had no chance of winning against this guy in a head-on confrontation,
However, some things can only be known to be successful after trying them. Even if they are not successful, at least Bai Yu has tried her best.
Besides, even if Bai Yu really can't beat this big fish, it's not a problem, there's still plenty of fishing line left.
His fishing line is a total of 1,500 meters long, and he has only let out 500 meters. There is still 1,000 meters of fishing line left.
In addition to the very long length of the fishing line, Baiyu has another advantage: the tensile strength of his fishing line is extremely strong.
The fishing line he's using now is the same one he used to catch a 1,000-pound tuna at a tuna fishing competition in Hawaii; the tensile strength is the same.
The fish that took the bait this time weighed only three or four hundred pounds, at most around five hundred pounds. There's a real difference between the fish that could break the fishing line and the fish that took the bait this time.
In this situation, Bai Yu has a way out in any of his actions.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yu grabbed the crank handle of the reel and started to exert force, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming from the reel.
The force was so great that Bai Yu couldn't withstand it at all, and his right hand started to rotate counterclockwise.
Even though she couldn't defeat this big fish, Bai Yu was unwilling to give up and continued to grit her teeth and persevere, trying to stop the guy from escaping.
"Hold on, hold on for me, just a little longer and it'll be over!"
