Faced with this big fish that had taken the bait, Bai Yu had no intention of letting up, nor did he intend to give the fish too much room to maneuver.
It's important to know that although the fishing line he's using is a giant fishing line, its strength and length are also limited.
Fishing, like anything else, requires efficiency. The principle that delays lead to problems is universal.
Bai Yu then took his fishing rod and began his operation. His first step was to provoke the opponent, causing them to lose their temper and recklessly deplete their own energy.
Bai Yu did this very well. He only needed to keep pulling the rod to make the fish feel pain in the other fish's mouth through the hook, and he could achieve his goal.
While casting the line, Bai Yu will simultaneously reel in the line. Casting the line is one thing, but he also needs to reel in the line to further provoke the opponent.
Then, a continuous series of fishing rod tugs echoed from the deck.
Everything was going very smoothly. Bai Yu kept casting his line and reeling in some fishing line as well.
Although Bai Yu's reeling efficiency wasn't very high due to this guy's resistance, overall, it was still effective.
In five minutes, he managed to prevent the other party from taking too much fishing line from his hand; the fishing line he had let out was less than a hundred meters.
You should know that Bai Yu was fishing at a depth of 60 meters, and after five minutes, he had only cast out 20 or 30 meters of fishing line, which was already quite good.
After all, no matter what, the fish that took the bait was still a huge one, and it had its pride too.
Most importantly, after five minutes of exertion, the fish that took the bait was extremely exhausted, which he could tell from the reaction on the fishing rod.
Just when Bai Yu thought things would be simple and he would be able to take them down in no time, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
The previously taut fishing line suddenly loosened, and the bent fishing rod snapped back to its normal position.
All of this seemed like the fish had escaped from the hook, but Bai Yu was very clear about one thing: the fish that had taken the bait had definitely not run away; it was still on the hook.
Bai Yu was quite familiar with the feeling of a line breaking or a hook coming off the hook. Whether it was a broken line or a hook coming off the hook, it was a matter of a split second, and he could tell the difference.
But this time the fish that took the bait was different. It didn't feel like that to Bai Yu. It was more like the fish suddenly changed direction and ran off somewhere else.
Bai Yu felt that the most likely direction for this new choice was the sea surface, or that the fish that had taken the bait was coming for him.
As Bai Yu moved back towards the retrieval line, he looked out at the sea.
If they don't reel in the line now, when will they? Regardless of what the fish is thinking, this is an opportunity for it.
An opportunity to close the line smoothly without any obstacles!
Bai Yu's right hand was practically smoking from spinning so fast as he frantically reeled in the fishing line, hoping to reel in an extra loop to lighten the load for his later fishing.
However, the reeling only lasted for a few dozen seconds before he stopped staring blankly at the sea.
? ? ?
"Wang Defa? What the hell? This fin is aimed at me? Did I catch a shark?"
Using the lights on the fishing boat and the moonlight, Bai Yu inadvertently discovered a fish fin standing upright, and the fin was moving towards him.
With its upright triangular fins and the fact that it's currently at sea, you can probably guess what kind of fish it is.
What other fish could it be besides a shark?
Upon seeing the shark fin, a multitude of thoughts flashed through Bai Yu's mind, and the smile on his face vanished.
Although Bai Yu has only seen a fin and has not yet seen the creature's specific appearance, one thing is already certain.
That means this shark has nothing to do with his competition.
The rules of this competition stipulate that only one type of shark can be counted as a result: the tiger catshark.
However, tiger catsharks almost never appear in the South China Sea; they are most commonly found in the East China Sea and the Yellow and Bohai Seas.
In other words, the sharks caught by the contestants in this competition will basically not be counted in their scores.
In other words, no matter what species the shark is, Bai Yu's efforts will definitely be in vain.
What? Can't a white fish catch a tiger catshark?
That's really impossible, because the tiger catshark is a small shark. The largest of these sharks weighs only a few dozen kilograms, and they are the kind that are rarely seen even once in a century.
Bai Yu has just caught a shark weighing over 100 pounds, and the tiger-striped cat shark has a patterned appearance; you could call it tiger stripes or leopard stripes.
The vertical fin that Bai Yu saw was dark gray, and all these factors indicated that his fish was already ruined.
Even so, he still wanted to fish, and he was also prepared to see what kind of fish it was.
The shark wasn't very big. If possible, Bai Yu planned to bring it onto the deck so he could easily remove the hook and minimize his losses.
The moment Bai Yu had this thought, the shark responded by leaping out of the water and splashing water at him with a flick of its tail.
Judging from its expression, this guy was originally planning to attack Bai Yu, but it seems that it discovered that Bai Yu was on a fishing boat and could not attack Bai Yu.
Then this guy suddenly braked, and with a shake of his head and a wag of his tail, he kicked up a huge splash of water.
Although these splashes of water are not offensive, they are extremely insulting.
In particular, the water splashed up by the other party was very large, and some of it had already splashed onto Bai Yu.
However, Bai Yu's attention was not on the splash at this moment. He was staring at the shark and he saw a very obvious feature of it!
It has a head that looks like a hammer!
The head is the hammer, and the body is the handle of the hammer!
"Hammerhead shark?"
