For Bai Yu, the reason he fished non-stop in the morning was so that he could take a break at noon.
Based on his current grades, even without knowing how others are doing, he can still be certain of one thing: his grades are definitely not bad.
He could even be said to be among the top performers, so he can now rest assured.
In addition, he had been fishing for more than five hours in the morning and had caught several hundred kilograms of fish. He was really tired and needed to rest for a while.
When a person gets tired to a certain extent, they can just lie down on the bed and fall asleep in no time.
After all, besides being tired, Bai Yu also got up very early this morning, so he naturally needed to catch up on his sleep.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yu returned to the stern of the boat around 1:30 p.m., but to his surprise, there were already three people fishing on the stern, which had been deserted in the morning.
The space at the stern is not large to begin with; to be precise, there isn't much space available for fishing, since this is a fishing boat, and the stern is usually used to drag fishing nets.
That means there are no railings at the stern, making it slightly more dangerous than other areas on the deck.
In this place where there aren't many fishing spots, three more contestants have squeezed in, wanting to fish as well. Bai Yu really doesn't know what to say.
Perhaps these three people also thought the stern of the boat was a good spot, after all, Bai Yu had caught a giant fish weighing over 100 pounds there, so they took advantage of Bai Yu's lunch break to come here to fish.
In this situation, Bai Yu neither argued with the other three nor asked them to leave the designated fishing spot at the stern.
He simply picked up his fishing gear silently and started looking for a new fishing spot on the boat.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of fishing spots on this boat; if one is taken, he can just find another.
This time, Bai Yu went straight to the bow of the boat. There weren't many anglers there either, because the bow was a much higher spot than the stern.
Fishing from the bow of the boat, using the landing net carried on board, would be impossible as it wouldn't reach the surface of the water.
If you manage to catch a fish, you'd better pray that your fishing line is strong enough to pull the fish up directly. Otherwise, it might be a bit difficult to catch this fish.
That's why there aren't many people who choose to fish at the bow of the boat. There are only anglers fishing in the area near the bow, which isn't very high up. Almost no one fishes at the bow itself.
But now that Bai Yu has come over and is fishing at the bow of the boat, he is not flustered at all. This time, he does not plan to change the fishing line and continues to use the same giant fishing line.
In this way, the strength of his fishing line is guaranteed.
In addition, Bai Yu does not plan to fish for mid-to-upper-level sea fish this afternoon. Since the fishing was so good this morning, he plans to try bottom fishing in the afternoon to catch a big fish.
If he manages to defend this position, it will be a huge boost to his performance in this competition.
Bai Yu quickly prepared for fishing. He baited his hook with a mackerel and cast it out.
This white-fisherman not only fished quite deep, but he also fished very far, casting the rod and bait thirty or forty meters away.
As the bait and hook slowly sink to the seabed, all that's left is to wait for a fish to bite.
He waited for half an hour, and Bai Yu was getting sleepy. He changed his bait once, but he still couldn't catch a single fish.
Bai Yu had initially suspected that he might have used up his luck points in the morning, which was why there were no fish to catch.
However, when he checked his luck stat panel, the huge numbers five and two clearly indicated that his idea was wrong.
Indeed, that was the case. He hadn't used up all his luck for the day, and he was still able to catch fish; it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
As time passed, more than ten minutes later, Bai Yu suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink sharply, and a sense of force came from the fishing rod, bringing him some pressure.
Bai Yu was intrigued by the sensation coming from the fishing rod. He suddenly lifted the rod upwards and grabbed the reel with his hand, trying to lock the line and put pressure on the fish that had taken the bait!
When a fish takes the bait, it pulls the fishing rod down, while Bai Yu pulls it up. The collision of these two forces is like a needle against a wheat awn, and the fishing rod immediately bends.
At the same time, the fish that took the bait this time seemed quite large to Bai Yu. Although it didn't reach several tens of kilograms, it was still a big fish weighing about ten or twenty kilograms.
Don't think that fish of this size aren't big. In fact, whether you're fishing for saltwater or freshwater fish, fish under ten pounds are always the mainstream, while fish over ten pounds can be considered big fish.
Bai Yu didn't give the fish much time after it took the bait, and immediately started quickly reeling in the line.
Even though Bai Yu is currently fishing at a depth of nearly 100 meters, fishing too fast at that depth could easily cause his body to explode due to decompression.
But that's not the point. The point is that Bai Yu wants to see what kind of fish it is, then assess the conditions of the seabed nearby, and finally decide what fishing method to use.
Many sea fish are gregarious, meaning that if you catch one, there will almost certainly be others around.
If you do encounter a school of fish, then the fishing method for white fishermen will naturally need to be changed. The focus should be on efficiency, rather than worrying about what will happen when the fish bite the hook.
It didn't take long for him to drag the fish that had taken the bait to the surface of the sea, so he could see what it looked like.
This is a croaker that is about 60 centimeters long. Its skin is dark gray and its body is covered with a layer of fine scales, so you can tell at a glance that it has a pretty good defense.
However, the croaker was not in good condition at this time. It was completely motionless and had probably lost its vital signs.
This guy's mouth was wide open, and his tongue and eyes were bulging out, which was a bit creepy to look at.
This is a very obvious symptom of internal decompression; the creature was actually already dead before it even reached the surface.
That's why Bai Yu was able to catch it so easily, because he had caught a dead fish in the latter part of the trip...
Bai Yu then pulled the croaker up by the fishing line, and immediately took out a multi-functional hook remover from the empty bag. He then adjusted the air release needle on it and plunged it into the croaker's belly.
Fish that have lost internal pressure are prone to exploding if not handled properly, especially croakers, which have larger swim bladders and are more likely to explode.
So it's best to process it as soon as possible and store it in a box with ice.
Bai Yu then baited the hook with another mackerel, and cast the bait in the same spot.
As mentioned before, some sea fish are primarily social fish, and the croaker is one such group.
There was a time when croakers were very abundant in my country's waters, and our fish schools often encountered them when they went out to sea.
However, as the value of fish maw was hyped up, and the overfishing of marine resources occurred from time to time, even if their fishing boats could not bring in much fish, some fishermen would still fish at all costs.
They sell all the seafood before it spoils and gets back to the dock. If the catch is already rotten by the time it gets back, they have other ways to deal with it.
Over time, the resources in our sea area deteriorated significantly, leading to the implementation of fishing bans.
After so many years of recovery, the marine fish resources near our home have also recovered to some extent. Some marine fish that were not easy to find before can now be found.
In particular, the population of croakers has also recovered. If you encounter a croaker in one place, there is a high probability that there will be more croakers around.
Thinking about this, Bai Yu even considered whether to activate Yu Xue Thirteen.
This vessel is a fishing boat equipped with a trawl net, and around it is a school of croakers.
When these two things come together, then...
