swordfish?
After hearing Xiao Tao's words, Bai Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it was only a sailfish that took the bait this time, not the bluefin tuna he had hoped for, it was still not bad. At least it wasn't a shark or other unfriendly species.
Sailfish are a species that can be considered as having competitive results, and their prices are quite good. Giant sailfish can generally sell for over one hundred dollars.
Bai Yu felt that this sailfish weighed at least 400 jin (200 kg), which would be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Bai Yu then approached the fishing boat, peering out at the enormous creature floating on the sea.
Well, after more than five hours of fishing, not only was the whitebait exhausted, but the sailfish was also greatly depleted.
At this moment, the sailfish floated listlessly on the sea surface, only occasionally wiggling its tail to indicate that it was not dead, and otherwise unwilling to move.
As for Xiao Tao saying that this thing looks like a sailboat, that's because it has its fins sticking up, making it look like a flag.
This sailfish is over three meters long (without its jaws), and when combined, it looks just like a small sailboat.
What Bai Yu was curious about was how this guy could raise his dorsal fin while still.
Moreover, this enormous sailfish must have faced many challenges to reach its current size, as evidenced by its tattered dorsal fin.
A perfectly good dorsal fin was riddled with holes, some as big as a serving plate, showing just how brutal the challenges this creature had faced.
But now things are better. The sailfish has been caught by the white fisherman, and it will soon be free and will not face any more challenges.
With continued effort, the white fisherman dragged the sailfish to the side of the fishing boat and then lifted its head.
Xiao Tao, who was standing nearby, was already preparing with his speargun. After the sailfish's head left the surface of the water, he seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger, shooting the speargun out of his hand.
The shot hit the sailfish squarely in the head, but instead of struggling violently as if in a final burst of energy, the creature calmly accepted what had happened.
Perhaps the fact that his efforts over the previous five hours had not resulted in him being caught in the end made him realize that he couldn't escape this ordeal today.
With the help of Xiao Tao and Brother Huang, and under the watchful eyes of a large crowd of onlookers, Bai Yu successfully landed the sailfish on the deck.
For a large fishing boat that is 70 meters long, the one thing that is not lacking is a crane. Catching a big fish weighing four or five hundred pounds is a piece of cake.
The most awe-inspiring moment for this guy was when the sailfish was being lifted into the air, because the sailfish was just too big.
Including its upper jaw, this creature is about four meters long, making it the largest sailfish ever caught by Baiyu.
Before this, he had caught a sailfish that was over three meters long including its upper jaw, and the rest of that fish weighed over 300 kilograms. The one he caught now is about four meters long, and its weight must be even more exaggerated.
Hearing the discussions around him, Bai Yu focused intently on preparing the sailfish.
For the other contestants and staff, all they saw was that Bai Yu had caught a giant sailfish, a super sailfish that was four meters long.
But only Bai Yu himself knew that this was the only fish he had caught since last night.
That was the only one; apart from this sailfish, he hadn't caught any other fish.
The first Napoleon wrasse was a protected animal, and although it was quite large, the only outcome was that it had to be released.
The second haul was a large blue crab weighing over two pounds. It was a crab, not a sea fish, and Bai Yu had planned to eat it. He was going to go and eat that kind of crab later.
Besides these two, the only other fish left was this sailfish, which I fished for over five hours straight.
For other anglers, a single night can yield a substantial catch; with good luck, catching four or five hundred pounds, or even more, is not impossible.
After bleeding the marlin and removing its internal organs, the next step was to take a group photo.
Moreover, it wasn't just a group photo of Bai Yu alone, but rather a group photo of the other contestants and staff members around her.
Such a large sailfish is a rare sight for both the other competitors and the crew on the fishing boat.
This sailfish is particularly plump, with a very wide dorsal fin, making it look quite handsome.
Once everyone who wanted to take a group photo had done so, and most of the blood from the sailfish had been drained, it was given a quick rinse and then placed in the freezer to be frozen.
During this process, Bai Yu asked several staff members to help him, because he couldn't handle this giant sailfish by himself.
Moreover, it is okay to ask for help at this time, but you cannot ask for help while fishing. Only when you catch the fish that has taken the bait on your own can it be counted as your own achievement.
After sending the sailfish into the freezer, Bai Yu didn't go to the deck to pack his fishing gear bag. Instead, he asked Brother Huang to help him pack it up before heading straight to the restaurant to eat.
He went to great lengths to catch this giant sailfish; he missed his midnight snack last night and it's almost 8 o'clock now.
There were only two or three staff members, including the contestants, still dining in the restaurant at that time. Fortunately, Uncle Liu was in the kitchen.
Bai Yu then went straight into the kitchen and approached Uncle Liu, who was working there.
"Uncle Liu, is my crab still alive? Steam it for me, I want to eat it now."
Is there anything else for main dishes? I'm so hungry right now! I feel incredibly strong; I could eat a whole cow!
