As the croaker was hoisted onto the deck, Bai Yu immediately took out his phone and took a photo with it as a souvenir.
After such a long ordeal, Bai Yu finally hoisted the guy onto the deck. By then, the guy's life was practically over, and he was completely exhausted.
For these large fish in the ocean, survival is not just about eating and drinking, but also about movement.
The larger the sea fish, the greater their demand for food and oxygen.
For some large fish, swimming can provide them with some oxygen.
However, Bai Yu restrained it with a fishhook, restricting not only its freedom but also its vitality.
Seeing the giant croaker on the verge of death, Bai Yu showed no mercy. Instead, he picked up an iron rod and struck the fish on the head.
For Bai Yu, this croaker was now his and Wang Hai's prey, and he couldn't just leave it there. All he could do was give it a quick death and send it on its way.
Without needing much further processing, Brother Li removed the croaker from the net, hoisted it onto a small cart with a crane, and sent it directly to the freezer.
At this moment, Bai Yu finally had some free time. Instead of immediately rebaiting the hook, he went to Wang Hai's side to check on him.
"Ah Hai, can you still hold on? You've been fishing for so long, your hands must be sore by now. Look, your hands are even starting to tremble. How about I take over for a while?"
When Bai Yu came to Wang Hai's side, what he saw was Wang Hai's flushed face and his slightly trembling right hand.
These two points show that Wang Hai's condition was not very good at this time; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was at his last gasp.
"It's alright, Brother Yu. You just finished fishing too. You take a break first. I can hold on for a while. You can come and relieve me later."
Wang Hai also gave his answer to Bai Yu's question, which was to let Bai Yu rest first.
"Alright, Ah Hai, you hold on for two more minutes. I'll come and relieve you in two minutes!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he sat down on the deck and began to rest.
For Bai Yu, his physical exertion was not too great; the only area that was significantly strained was his arms.
Unfortunately, fishing mainly relies on the arms, and Bai Yu's arms were sore and swollen, preventing him from exerting his full strength.
Bai Yu then sat on the deck for two minutes, doing some stretching exercises, before standing up to take over from Wang Hai.
"Ah Hai, I've rested enough. Give me the fishing rod; I'll fish for a while longer."
"Brother Yu, be careful! This thing is incredibly strong. If you want to withstand its pull, you'd better be prepared!"
While reminding Bai Yu, Wang Hai handed the fishing rod to Bai Yu.
After Wang Hai's reminder, Bai Yu carefully took the fishing rod, took a deep breath, and gripped the crank handle.
As Bai Yu exerted his strength, he felt a tremendous force coming from the fishing rod, a force far greater than that of the croaker he had just caught.
Fortunately, Bai Yu was well-prepared mentally, which allowed him to pick up his fishing rod and withstand the pull.
Listening to the clicking sound coming from my fishing rod, I have to admit, fishing for this fish was much more exciting than catching that big croaker before.
Then Bai Yu felt a surge of power flowing out of his body. For an athlete who had been involved in sports competitions for many years, this feeling was all too familiar to him. It was the feeling of adrenaline surging!
His adrenaline surged, which was a good thing for Bai Yu, as it meant that the source of his power was beginning to flow.
Since that's the case, Bai Yu isn't going to be polite with this guy; he wants to take the initiative.
He's going to try to start working on the recycle line!
If this had happened at the beginning, when the fish first took the bait, Bai Yu would have been confident that even if given another chance, he wouldn't have chosen to fight the fish head-on.
It's not a question of whether we dare to or not, but whether we can actually overcome the challenge.
At his peak, no matter how high Bai Yu's adrenaline surged, even if all of Bai Yu's blood were replaced with adrenaline, he still wouldn't be able to compete.
But things are different now. After half an hour of exhaustion by Wang Hai and Brother Li, although this guy still has some strength left, he is no longer someone Bai Yu can't fight.
As long as Bai Yu grits his teeth, he can still put up a fight against this guy. If everything goes smoothly, reeling in several dozen meters of fishing line won't be a problem at all.
Bai Yu then glanced at the length indicator on the reel. The fishing line outside the reel was over 460 meters long, almost half of the total length.
Then Bai Yu suddenly lifted the fishing rod upwards, using the same trick he had used to catch the big croaker before.
However, when Bai Yu was fishing for big croaker before, he reeled in more than two turns of fishing line the first time he cast his line. But this time, he only managed to reel in one turn of fishing line, and it was a very difficult reel.
This is enough to show the difference between these two fish; it's not just a tiny difference.
But it's alright, as long as we can reel in the line, that's a good thing. Bai Yu is going to stick to this guy and won't give up until he catches him.
Then came the relentless jerk of the rod, wave after wave of attacks against the creature.
For this big guy, every time Bai Yu reeled in the line, it was extremely difficult. He even found it hard to raise the fishing rod a little higher.
A minute later, Brother Li returned with the croaker in the freezer and told Bai Yu that the croaker weighed over 100 jin (50 kg), a full 126 jin (63 catties)!
Three minutes later, Bai Yu handed the fishing rod to Brother Li. By then, he had reeled in more than ten meters of fishing line. Although it wasn't a lot, it was undoubtedly good news.
After taking over the fishing rod, Brother Li did the same thing as Bai Yu, repeatedly twitching the rod to pull the fish back.
Li Ge also persisted for three or four minutes, reeling in about twenty meters of fishing line, and then the fishing rod ended up in Wang Hai's hands.
Before Wang Hai could even cast his line, this guy had regained some strength and was challenging Wang Hai again!
"Damn it, Brother Yu, Brother Li, why does the fishing rod change when it comes to me? Do you think this guy is targeting me?"
This guy started to exert force, so Wang Hai naturally had no way to pull back the line. He could only grit his teeth and withstand the opponent's pull, waiting for a chance to exert force later.
After pulling back and forth seven or eight times, forty or fifty minutes had passed, and they finally managed to reel in about three hundred meters of fishing line, and it seemed like they could finally get the line in.
In a typical movie or TV show, something unexpected would definitely happen when the plot is nearing its end.
But for Bai Yu and his group, there were no surprises whatsoever; they calmly reeled in the fishing line without any ripples.
Then they saw a huge thing appear on the sea, a fat and dark thing, floating on the sea!
"Wow, Xiaoyu, this croaker must be two meters long! This thing is huge!"
