After sensing the size of the big fish that had taken the bait, Bai Yu clearly realized one thing.
That means he couldn't take down this guy in a short time on his own. To get rid of him quickly, Bai Yu had to find someone to help him.
On their yacht, finding help was relatively easy. Putting aside everything else, Li Shuang and his group alone would be a great asset.
Bai Yu then glanced at Wang Hai and the others. Apart from Lu Sheng, who was busy fishing, Li Shuang and Wang Hai were quite relaxed, watching Lu Sheng fish.
There was nothing they could do; Lu Sheng had caught the first fish, so Wang Hai and Lu Sheng naturally went over to watch him fish. As for Bai Yu, they didn't even know that Bai Yu had also caught a fish.
"Ah Hai, Shuang Zi, what's the situation with Ah Sheng?"
Looking at the situation before him, Bai Yu asked a question.
"We caught a fish, a big one that weighs over 100 pounds. Ah Hai and I have nothing to do, so let's see if we can get a fishing rod from Ah Sheng and fish for a while."
"Want to go fishing? That's easy. You two come over here. I've got a big fish here. You two can help me catch it. I guarantee you'll have a great time."
"What? Brother Yu, you caught fish too? How big is it? Big enough for both of us to enjoy?"
"It must be a big fish. I can't handle it by myself. It should weigh three or four hundred pounds."
Bai Yu said it casually.
Then Li Shuang and Wang Hai became a little unsettled. They had been at sea for several days, doing beachcombing and fishing.
However, so far their catch has been only so-so; apart from the fish they sold for some money, they haven't caught any big fish.
Of the eight of them, only Bai Yu caught a giant grouper weighing over 100 pounds.
Now Bai Yu has caught another big fish, a big fish that they wanted to catch but couldn't, but it seems so worthless in Bai Yu's mouth?
So when they heard that there was a big fish to catch, the two of them immediately became interested and went to Bai Yu's fishing rod, ready to show off their skills.
However, the task of leading the charge was assigned to Wang Hai. In this aspect, among the four of them, only Lu Sheng and Wang Hai had greater explosive power, while Li Shuang's explosive power was relatively weaker.
Faced with the first wave of resistance from this big fish, it's better to leave this task to Wang Hai.
Wang Hai didn't refuse at all. He came over to Bai Yu, picked up his fishing rod, and prepared to get started, ready to have a real man's 1v1 battle with this big fish.
As Wang Hai took the fishing rod down, with the handle resting on the top of the rod, he took a deep breath and prepared to get to work.
As the two forces collided, a 'crunching' sound immediately came from the fishing rod, as if it would break at any moment.
However, before the fishing rod broke, Wang Hai was the first to give in. He released his right hand from the crank handle, letting the rod pull the fishing line away once again.
This time, the fish that took the bait was a bit too big. In their first encounter, Wang Hai did not gain the upper hand and was even at a disadvantage.
However, Wang Hai was not discouraged. Since he couldn't win by fighting head-on, he decided to resort to some underhanded tactics.
For example, by constantly jerking the rod, the hook on the fish's body continuously causes pain, thereby stimulating the fish to lose its mind.
Once the other side loses its composure, Wang Hai might find an opportunity to completely disrupt their plans.
Even without the chance, the pain would surely drive this guy mad again, causing him to run wildly through the ocean.
This would be a very good way to wear down this guy's stamina.
This method is one of Bai Yu and his friends' specialties.
Although doing this is a bit unethical, it doesn't matter. They're fishing right now, and the fish they catch are all money. When it comes to making money, it seems perfectly reasonable to disregard ethics.
Moreover, this is only one of the methods; Bai Yu and his group have even more unethical methods.
That is, the four of them take turns pulling the rod and reeling in the line, taking turns to wear down each other's stamina in a battle of attrition.
Their most famous battle was when the four of them, with Snake's help in his fishing boat, killed a bluefin tuna weighing over a thousand pounds.
This bluefin tuna is said to have exceeded the maximum weight limit for tuna and is the largest Pacific tuna ever caught.
When people are faced with something that benefits them, they will spare no effort to promote and facilitate it until they gain tangible benefits.
Wang Hai was in this situation. He couldn't defeat this big fish in a direct confrontation, but he wasn't afraid of any fish in a protracted war of attrition.
Moreover, in order to keep the fish's aggression level stable, Wang Hai didn't just keep casting the line; he also had to exert force from time to time to give the fish a little push, letting it know that the annoying guy was still there and that he needed to keep trying.
After persisting for five or six minutes, with the fishing line already two or three hundred meters long, Wang Hai finally handed the fishing rod to Li Shuang, who had been waiting for a long time.
When handing over the fishing rods, Wang Hai also shared some good news with Li Shuang.
"Shuangzi, this fish has lost a lot of strength. I've already used up some of my energy. You can try to reel it in as soon as possible."
? ? ?
Can we start trying to retract the line?
To be honest, Li Shuang believed what Wang Hai said, because in his impression, Wang Hai had always been very honest and trustworthy.
However, Li Shuang overlooked one crucial factor: the power disparity between himself and Wang Hai.
Wang Hai might think it's possible to pull back the line, but Li Shuang sees that as asking too much.
At this moment, Li Shuang believed what Wang Hai said, and after getting the fishing rod, he prepared to start reeling in the line.
But as he gripped the crank handle of the reel with his right hand, just as he was about to start collecting the money, the force on the handle made him feel helpless.
? ? ?
"What the hell? Ah Hai, didn't you say we could start reeling in the line? Why can't I pull it in at all? Are you kidding me?"
"How could that be? I've already used up a lot of this guy's stamina. You should be able to retreat now!"
"How is that possible? I can't budge it at all! The force on it is just too great!"
"Stop arguing. Ah Hai probably meant that if you had the same strength as him, you could retract the line. But unfortunately, you don't have that much strength."
"Shuangzi, you should stick to your original idea and start by depleting resources."
Bai Yu gave Li Shuang and Wang Hai an answer to their argument, and then let Li Shuang continue fishing.
After finding the answer, Li Shuang stopped obsessing over retrieving the fish and started using her own methods to gradually whittle down its health.
For us, whatever we do, as long as it gives us hope, whether it's serious business or playing games, we will give it our all.
There's a saying that goes something like this: as long as a god has a health bar, we can slowly grind them down to death.
That's how it is now; this big fish is very strong, but that's all it is.
Bai Yu and his group have a large number of people, and they can wear down the enemy little by little until they are defeated.
Li Shuang persisted for four or five minutes, and then the fishing rod ended up in Bai Yu's hands.
As the owner of the fishing rod, Bai Yu showed absolutely no mercy in his confrontation with this guy, going all out from the start.
Moreover, after being exhausted by both Li Shuang and Wang Hai, this guy's stamina has also decreased.
This gave Bai Yu an opportunity. Although Bai Yu was not yet able to completely overwhelm him, it was still quite good.
At least with this guy, you can reel in the line, although it's not very fast; it takes him half a day to reel in just a little bit of line.
But this is also good news, good news for them.
Half an hour later, Lu Sheng caught the fish he had caught, a small trevally that wasn't particularly valuable. Apart from being a bit big, it wasn't anything special.
Now we only have Bai Yu's catch left. Let's see what kind of fish this big one is and whether it's worth any money.
With Lu Sheng joining them, their small group was like a tiger with wings, and they repeatedly gained the upper hand when facing this fish.
With round after round of attacks, the fish that had taken the bait was finally caught and killed in just over forty minutes.
After a few more minutes of steady trading, the guy regained some strength and started arguing with Bai Yu and the others again.
One hour and fifty-two minutes after the fish took the bait, a huge creature floated on the surface of the sea, and this guy was once again defeated.
Looking at the large fish, Bai Yu and the others all showed a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"A red octopus? Such a big red octopus, what's going on?"
