With the help of Wang Hai and the others, the two boxes of frozen bait were quickly processed and then thrown into the fishing area where the four of them were fishing.
Two boxes of frozen bait, one containing 20 jin of mackerel, means that each of the four fishermen has about 10 jin of frozen bait per spot.
Although the quantity may not seem like much, it should be enough to lure fish in the sea.
After all, even the landlords didn't have any surplus grain, so they had to save wherever they could.
Having prepared the frozen bait, Bai Yu took a mackerel from the bait box, hooked it onto the hook, and then cast it into the sea to begin his fishing for the night.
This time, Bai Yu used the same fishing rod as before, but all the other equipment had been replaced.
The first thing to be replaced was the fishing line. The original fishing line had been broken once while fishing for a great white shark, and the 1000-meter fishing line was reduced to 800 meters.
The fishing lines used by Baiyu now are much stronger and longer than before.
With a length of 1,500 meters and a tensile strength capable of catching fish weighing over 350 kilograms, this is already the strongest set of fishing lines among all of Baiyu's fishing lines.
It's also the most expensive, and I've never been willing to use it.
But tonight is different. He still has an extremely high luck value of over 80 points. The fishing conditions tonight will definitely be different. He doesn't want to affect his fishing rhythm because of the strength of the fishing line.
Just as Bai Yu was thinking this, the bait, which had been slowly sinking, suddenly began to accelerate its descent for some unknown reason.
Bai Yu noticed this unusual situation immediately, but what he didn't expect was that he had just cast his line and a fish had already taken the bait.
Keep in mind that the waters they were in were over 200 meters deep, and he had only cast his line less than 30 seconds ago.
In such a short time, there wasn't even enough time for the bait and hook to sink to the bottom of the sea before he caught a fish.
Although Bai Yu still found it a bit unbelievable, he still grabbed the fishing rod immediately and lifted it sharply upwards to hook the fish.
After feeling the weight transmitted through the fishing rod, he carefully examined it and tentatively reeled in the fishing line twice.
This catch was quite something. In Bai Yu's opinion, the fish that took the bait this time wasn't too small, but it wasn't too big either; it was within Bai Yu's capabilities.
Fishing for this kind of fish is the most troublesome. If you want to catch it quickly, it will definitely take a lot of physical exertion.
But if you want to let out a line and play with it slowly, to be honest, this guy isn't that big, at most a hundred or two hundred pounds, so letting out a line to fish for him isn't worth it.
After a little more consideration, Bai Yu had his own idea: to confront this guy head-on. He had limited time tonight, so if a fish took the bait, he should catch it as soon as possible.
After all, the system panel updates at midnight, and if he doesn't use up all his luck points by then, they will be reset to zero.
After making the decision, Bai Yu grabbed the crank handle of the reel and began to exert force, which, together with the action of the drag, immediately locked the sinking fishing line.
Once the fish that had taken the bait realized it couldn't swim any further downstream, it immediately started running in another direction.
Unfortunately, this guy chose the bow of the ship, while Bai Yu and the others were at the stern. If he ran towards the bow, he was practically crawling to the bottom of the ship!
Whether this guy ends up with the fishermen at the bow or runs around under the boat, it could cause Bai Yu some trouble.
To avoid this situation, Bai Yu once again exerted his strength, preparing to do his best to reel the creature up as quickly as possible.
After all, there isn't too much fishing line out yet, so catching fish is relatively easy, which can save him a lot of trouble.
With Bai Yu's efforts, he quickly gained the upper hand and gradually pulled back the remaining fishing line.
Perhaps sensing the approaching danger, the creature that had taken the bait began to panic, and its escape route was no longer limited to one direction, but began to dart around in all directions.
This was good news for Bai Yu, since the fish had started darting around wildly, causing the fishing line to sag every now and then.
At this time, Bai Yu would put all his strength into reeling in the fishing line several times. When he was cornered, he even started swimming towards the surface of the sea.
Just when the fishing line was almost empty, a swordfish over a meter long leaped from the seabed, jumped high to the surface, and then plunged back into the ocean.
Unfortunately, not many people noticed this scene. Only the crew at the stern saw it, and the rest of the crew, including Bai Yu, did not notice it.
The swordfish was incredibly fast. From the moment it emerged from the water until it disappeared, the entire process took only two or three seconds. Bai Yu and the others only heard the sound of water splashing. By the time they looked up, the creature had already vanished.
However, just three minutes later, the guy was exhausted and came to the side of the boat, where Bai Yu and the others could do whatever they wanted with him.
Bai Yu and the others looked at the creature's long snout, which was exactly like a sailfish's. At first, he thought they had caught another sailfish, but upon seeing its fins, his initial excitement immediately vanished.
This guy is a swordfish!
