On the seventh day of the competition, at six o'clock in the morning, on the fishing boat where the Ocean University F4 team was located.
"Brother Yu, come help me! I'm about to collapse, please lend a hand!"
Li Shuang stood in the middle of the fishing boat, one foot braced against the railing, his hands gripping the fishing rod tightly as he exerted force.
Judging from his strained appearance, Li Shuang probably didn't gain any advantage in this struggle, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Bai Yu for help.
"Here it comes, here it comes. Don't rush me, I need to reel in my fishing rod first."
What kind of fish did you catch this time? It's so hard to deal with! Could it be another great white shark?
After Bai Yu reeled in his fishing rod, he jogged over to Li Shuang's side, muttering complaints as he walked.
"Brother Fisherman, please say something nice! I admit I've caught a lot of great white sharks these past few days, but this one is definitely different. This guy feels different to me, unlike the other great white sharks I've caught!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's complaints, Li Shuang's already contorted face, which had been distorted during the struggle, instantly turned bitter.
As for why this behavior occurs?
The answer is quite simple. As he himself said, he has caught quite a lot of great white sharks recently. Since the start of the competition, he has caught no fewer than ten great white sharks.
The largest one was nearly three meters long, and it took Bai Yu and his companions quite a while to find out that it was a great white shark. They were almost furious!
That's why he made those comments when Li Shuang called for Bai Yu's help; Bai Yu was also a little scared.
When it comes to fishing, Bai Yu admits that he only had good luck because he opened a shop.
But he never imagined that someone could be so unlucky in fishing, so attractive to great white sharks, with sharks always biting his hook.
But despite the jokes and banter, we should still help when needed.
Although Bai Yu and his team are now in first place on the leaderboard, the four of them are still not relaxing at all and are still giving their all in the competition.
After all, Bai Yu and his three friends had only one goal from beginning to end: to win the double championship and double their prize money. They wanted to get all the high prize money into their hands.
They still had a final sprint before the game ended.
As Bai Yu took the fishing rod from Li Shuang, he began to take it seriously.
Just as Li Shuang said, the fish that took the bait this time felt different to them, unlike the feeling of a great white shark.
Bai Yu and others, who have recently caught more than ten great white sharks, are very qualified to speak on this point, as the great white sharks' way of resisting is different from that of other fish.
Perhaps because great white sharks are the apex predators of the ocean, even when they are restrained by fishhooks, their resistance is fierce and wide-ranging.
As for tuna, although their resistance is equally fierce, it still lacks the domineering presence of a great white shark.
With this assessment, Bai Yu became more interested in the fish that had taken the bait this time.
Based on the feeling from the fishing rod, the fish that took the bait this time must weigh between 200 and 300 pounds, definitely a big fish.
Now their team needs to increase their total weight to win the total weight championship.
If this big fish is a tuna, then they can add another 200 kilograms to their score.
And that's not all. Do you know why Li Shuang asked Bai Yu for help instead of asking Lu Sheng and Wang Hai, who are stronger?
That's because Bai Yu was the only one free at the time. Wang Hai and Lu Sheng had also caught fish and were busy dealing with their own big fish, so they didn't have time to help Li Shuang fish.
Then Bai Yu seized the opportunity to grab the crank handle of the reel and began to exert force to fight his opponent head-on.
A mere fish weighing just over 200 pounds—before the competition began, Bai Yu might have been somewhat intimidated.
However, during the competition, Bai Yu caught far too many large fish weighing two or three hundred pounds, and they were all of various kinds and species.
Tuna weighing over 200 pounds are a regular occurrence for him. He has also caught many other fish such as sailfish, grouper, Napoleon wrasse, and swordfish.
In short, the waters near Hawaii are very rich in resources, especially after the tuna fishing competition was postponed for a year, the resources here are simply unbelievably abundant.
Half an hour later, two tuna and one sailfish arrived at the fishing boat almost simultaneously, waiting for the people on board to give them their final verdict.
Bai Yu and his friends are currently participating in a tuna fishing competition. I think it goes without saying how to choose the best tuna: tuna are the priority, and the bigger ones are preferred over the smaller ones.
The tuna that Li Shuang and Bai Yu caught together was the biggest, and it was a bluefin tuna, so it was the most valuable. Naturally, they had to get it onto the deck first.
Through this competition, Bai Yu and his team discovered a problem: although Hawaii is also located in the Pacific Ocean and shares the same ocean with many of our sea areas, it is still a problem.
However, the resource gap between the two sides is still very large. Take tuna for example, it is very rare to catch a tuna weighing more than 200 pounds in the waters near our home.
Bluefin tuna, in particular, are extremely rare, and the sighting of even one can cause cheers from anglers in several surrounding cities.
Then numerous fishing boats and dinghies flocked to the waters where bluefin tuna were spotted to fish.
But in Hawaii, let alone tuna weighing over 200 pounds, Bai Yu and his crew also caught quite a few bluefin tuna.
Of the more than one hundred tuna, bluefin tuna accounted for at least one-third of the total, and among the larger fish weighing over two hundred pounds, bluefin tuna made up more than half.
The resource gap between the two sides is simply too large; there's really no way to explain it.
As for the reasons behind this, whether it's because Hawaii's fisheries administration is doing a good job or ours is irresponsible, it's really hard to say.
In any case, taking our coastline as an example, the amount of tuna produced in the surrounding waters is completely insufficient for our own consumption, and we still have to rely on imports.
Bai Yu and his team planned to bring all the tuna they won in the competition back to China, hoping it would allow them to make a small profit.
The more than one hundred tuna, in terms of their current total weight, must be at least 20,000 jin (10,000 kg), which is equivalent to ten tons of tuna.
Moreover, judging from the current trend, by the end of this competition, the combined weight of the four of them should be around 23,000 to 24,000 jin.
In order to catch more tuna, the four members of the White Fishing Clan were practically racing against time to go fishing.
After all, for Bai Yu and the other three, who knows when they will encounter such a resource-rich place again after this competition ends?
After bringing Li Shuang's tuna up and putting it into the freezer, Bai Yu returned to his fishing spot, baited his hook, and started fishing.
Time passed second by second, and Bai Yu and his team's catch increased one by one, soon surpassing one hundred and fifty.
By noon, their score had reached 158, and by 2 p.m., it had surpassed 160.
Then Bai Yu and Li Shuang went to rest, while Wang Hai and Lu Sheng continued fishing.
At 5 p.m., their score reached 166, and at 6:30 p.m., their score broke through 170.
After having dinner at seven o'clock, Lu Sheng and Wang Hai went to rest, while Bai Yu and Li Shuang went to the deck to fish.
At 9 p.m., their score reached 174, and at 11:30 p.m., they were just one short of breaking 180.
As midnight approached, Bai Yu and Li Shuang caught their 180th tuna, and then Wang Hai and Lu Sheng got some rest.
After a quick meal of a large bowl of noodles, Bai Yu and his three companions returned to the deck to begin their final fishing trip.
The competition ended at 6:00 AM on the eighth day, leaving them with less than six hours to fish.
Time continued to pass second by second, and Bai Yu and his three companions did not stop fishing. Every hour, their total score would be refreshed.
As the east slowly began to lighten, it was six o'clock in the morning, and the competition came to an end.
