"Ah Hai, cut the line!"
With Bai Yu's shout, Wang Hai, who had been waiting for the next move, immediately pulled out a folding knife and slashed the fishing line.
The moment the blade touched the taut fishing line, the line snapped in two with a 'snap', and the fishing rod returned to calm.
The fishing line did break, and the fishing rod and the sea surface returned to calm, but Bai Yu and the other three could not calm down for a long time.
Those who have never seen a great white shark up close will not know how terrifying this creature is. Even though Bai Yu and his companions were some distance away from the great white shark, and they were on the deck, which was relatively safe, they still had a chance.
But seeing the massive body of the great white shark and its mouth full of sharp teeth when it opens is truly terrifying.
In Bai Yu's eyes, this great white shark was at least four or five meters long. Even with Bai Yu's height of 1.8 meters, he would only be about three-tenths full after eating the whole shark.
With its mouth full of sharp teeth, if Bai Yu were to actually fall into this guy's mouth, it would probably chew up Bai Yu's bones and swallow them whole.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad. The great white shark was not interested in the fishing boat. After briefly appearing on the surface of the sea, it immediately swam away into the distance.
Bai Yu reacted quickly, cutting the fishing line in time to prevent potentially greater losses.
It was not yet six o'clock, and the sky was not completely dark yet. Not all the anglers on the fishing boats had come out to fish.
Overall, aside from losing nearly 200 meters of fishing line, a pair of hooks, and some sinkers, Bai Yu did not suffer any other major losses.
The evening fishing session hadn't officially started yet; it wasn't even dark, so the wasted time was negligible.
Then Bai Yu attached the hook and sinker to the fishing line again, and a brand new fishing line appeared in his hand. Compared with the previous one, this fishing line was only a little shorter, from 1,000 meters to 800 meters.
Bai Yu re-baited the hook and cast his line again.
Today was a good day; Bai Yu's first big catch was a huge great white shark, although it eventually broke its own line.
However, it is undeniable that the great white shark was the biggest fish he had ever caught, and it certainly broadened their horizons and broadened their knowledge.
If this doesn't count as a good start, then what does?
Just as Bai Yu had expected, he had just experienced a broken line when Li Shuang caught a fish. Judging from the effort Li Shuang was putting into manipulating the fishing rod, the fish must be quite large.
The only drawback is that Li Shuang always seems to be holding back when she's vying with this guy.
"Shuangzi, what are you doing? Are you just going through the motions? At this rate, how long will it take to catch this guy?"
"Brother Fisherman, I dare not fish for it. I'm also afraid that this fish might be a great white shark. If it is a shark, I can save some energy to give myself time to react!"
It seems that the great white shark incident has left a significant impact on the group, making Li Shuang somewhat hesitant to fish.
"Shuangzi, you don't need to do this. Go all out and fish boldly. If it really is a great white shark, you can't possibly wrestle with it so easily."
Under normal circumstances, the greatest white sharks that appear are at least around 200 pounds, and that's just for juvenile great white sharks. Adult great white sharks are at most four or five meters long, like the one I caught before, which was four or five meters long and definitely weighed over 1,000 pounds.
If a great white shark actually bites, unless it's an adult great white shark, we can just cut the line.
"That's right, Brother Yu is right. Why should we chicken out? Let's go for it today! So what if it's a great white shark? Come on if you dare!"
After Bai Yu's encouragement, Li Shuang changed her previous attitude and started fishing with her rod.
The fish he's catching isn't actually that big; it probably weighs only forty or fifty pounds, which is well within his comfort zone.
However, the great white shark he had just encountered had put him under too much pressure, and he was momentarily stunned, which is why he seemed a little hesitant and timid.
Bai Yu had just finished speaking with Li Shuang when his fishing rod also showed signs of a fish taking the bait. The rod bent downwards, and the fishing line appeared outwards at the same time.
This time, Bai Yu didn't hear the sound of the fish biting; he felt it with his right hand, which was resting on the fishing rod.
Then, he immediately grabbed the rod and lifted it up sharply. No matter if it was a big fish or a small fish, as long as it took the bait, the first step to catch it was to lift the rod and set the hook.
Bai Yu was an expert at this trick; after all, practice makes perfect. He wasn't a newbie angler; he was already a seasoned veteran.
This is why there are no grading certificates for sea fishing; otherwise, it would be necessary to have a grading certificate for sea fishing, just like for freshwater fishing.
Therefore, Bai Yu is very good at seizing opportunities, and this time was no exception, with a steady feeling of weight coming from the fishing rod.
"Tsk, the fishing is really good today. Shuangzi just caught some fish, and I caught some too. Not bad, not bad. Looks like we're going to have a good harvest today!"
Bai Yu turned on the drag on the fishing rod and then spoke to Wang Hai, who was standing next to him.
The fish that took the bait this time was of a decent size, weighing several tens of kilograms. Bai Yu didn't intend to fight it head-on, but rather planned to play it for a while first.
"Brother Yu, if you include the great white shark that got away, this is already your second fish. I still don't have a single one!"
"You're so boring, I've already eaten several bags of snacks."
While Wang Hai was complaining to Bai Yu, his mouth was also busy, as he was munching on a braised chicken foot, eating it with great relish.
? ? ?
"What? Only a few minutes have passed since I told you to cut the line, and you've already eaten so many chicken feet? Did you buy all the remaining chicken feet in the kitchen?"
"Okay, I bought everything. Don't worry, Brother Yu. I told the chef to put it on your tab. Don't forget to pay when you get back!"
"Oh my god, you're still using my money to buy things? Hurry up and send me two over."
While Bai Yu and Wang Hai were arguing over the chicken feet, Wang Hai's fishing rod also caught a fish.
That's bad. We can't send chicken feet now. If Bai Yu wants some, he'll have to go get them himself.
