But before Bai Yu could talk for long, the fishing line in her hand suddenly started moving again.
He immediately stopped chatting, grabbed his fishing rod, and yanked it upwards with a smooth motion, clearly demonstrating that he had practiced many times and was already skilled.
As Bai Yu lifted his rod to set the hook, his timing was excellent, and he successfully caught the fish that had taken the bait.
However, unlike the previous catch of seven or eight fish that weighed only a little over 100 jin (approximately 50 kg), this time, as Bai Yu lifted his rod, the rod bent sharply downwards.
The fish immediately demonstrated how a straight rod could turn into a semi-circle, indicating that the fish that took the bait this time must have been quite large.
Bai Yu then grabbed the crank handle and reeled the fishing rod in twice, also preparing to gauge the size of the fish that had taken the bait.
But when he pulled, the crank handle in his hand didn't budge at all; in fact, the force from the crank handle even pulled his hand back around a full circle.
? ? ?
"Wow, this fish that took the bait is quite big. Could it be another shark?"
Bai Yu felt the weight on the fishing rod, and while he was happy, he was also a little worried.
Unfortunately, the hammerhead shark from before ruined his mentality and wasted a lot of his time, and in the end, his score wasn't counted.
This time, he caught another giant, and judging from the movements on the fishing rod, it seems to be no smaller than the hammerhead shark he caught last time.
Bai Yu was genuinely worried that after all his hard work, it would just end up being a hammerhead shark, and his achievement wouldn't count. That would be incredibly unlucky for him.
But regardless, the current situation is that fish are biting the hook, and all Bai Yu needs to do is catch them.
After all, if he didn't catch it, Bai Yu wouldn't be able to catch the next fish. He couldn't just cut the fishing line without knowing what was going on.
If this were a big fish that could be considered a success, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?
So in a split second, Bai Yu made a decision: he still had to catch the fish, or at the very least, see what it looked like.
Bai Yu then began his operation. In order to save himself more time, his movements became more expansive and bold, with the main goal of depleting the opponent's stamina as quickly as possible.
Hearing the sound of fishing rods being pulled from the deck, the other anglers, who were also fishing at the bow, immediately grabbed their rods and moved to either side.
They did this to give Bai Yu more room to maneuver, which would benefit Bai Yu as well as themselves.
After all, no one knows which direction the big fish that has taken the bait will run in, or whether it will change direction along the way. If the big fish is unruly and causes trouble on the seabed, it could easily affect them.
Since they were all fishing at the bow of the boat, and their fishing spots weren't too far apart, it didn't really matter.
Under Bai Hao's control, he would stimulate the guy by constantly pulling the rod, thus exhausting his stamina.
He had originally planned to further wear down his opponent by reeling in the line or locking it in.
This time, however, he did not get his wish. When he first tried to lock the fishing line, he had already done so. In terms of his own strength, he could have locked the fishing line if he wanted to.
However, some unexpected things may happen during this process, and the fishing line may not be able to withstand the strength of both sides.
As mentioned before, the fishing line that Bai Yu is currently using is indeed a giant fishing line.
However, this fishing line can only withstand a tensile force of about 100 pounds. If handled properly, it can also be used to catch fish weighing nearly 200 pounds.
However, this is only something you can try; there's no guarantee you'll succeed or that the fishing line won't break.
This time, the fish that took the bait felt like it weighed over 200 pounds, so after trying to catch it once, Bai Yu decisively gave up on the idea.
All Bai Yu can do now is try to catch this guy before the fishing line is cleared out.
Otherwise, once the fishing line is cleared from the cup, there won't be much room for him to maneuver. At that point, even if he doesn't want to fight this guy head-on, he'll have no choice but to operate in this way.
Bai Yu then increased the speed of casting his line, trying to wear down the creature through constant stimulation.
Five minutes later, more than 300 meters of fishing line had been let out of the reel, leaving only a little over 100 meters for the white fisherman to operate.
However, the fish that took the bait did not seem to be exhausted; it only weakened its strength slightly.
Upon seeing this outcome, Bai Yu took a deep breath and prepared to confront the big fish that had taken the bait.
Then Bai Yu suddenly exerted force with his right arm, firmly restricting the crank handle of the reel, preventing the guy from having any chance to pull any fishing line.
As Bai Yu exerted force, the fishing rod bent more, and simultaneously emitted a creaking sound.
The fishing rod seemed to be overwhelmed, but the final result was acceptable. The fishing rod made a sound but did not break, and the same was true for the fishing line.
However, Bai Yu didn't dare to fight this guy for too long. After holding out for about twenty seconds, he decisively released the crank handle, letting it continue to escape forward.
Twenty seconds isn't a long time, but it's not short either. If Bai Yu does it a few more times, it can put a lot of pressure on this guy and deplete his stamina.
After all, Bai Yu wasn't just doing it once; he was doing it to this guy every now and then.
He and this guy went head-to-head with the 100-meter fishing line five or six times, taking a total of more than ten minutes. Each time he went head-to-head with this guy, Bai Yu's endurance increased.
Then, when there were only a few dozen meters of fishing line left in the reel, Bai Yu finally felt from the reel that the guy's strength wasn't as great anymore.
Although the guy wasn't exhausted yet, it was still good news for Bai Yu, as he could try to reel in some more fishing line.
That's right, Bai Yu is no longer planning to continue on the defensive. The offense and defense can now be reversed, and it's time for Bai Yu to make his move.
If he doesn't put in more effort, the little fishing line left on the reel will be completely wiped out.
In order to better handle this big fish, Bai Yu switched the fishing rod in his hand, from holding it with his left hand to holding it with his right hand.
During the previous hard fight, not only did this guy suffer some exhaustion, but Bai Yu did as well, and his right arm was also a little sore.
But his left hand is still in good condition, so he can switch hands to do this guy!
