Just as Bai Yu and Li Shuang said, these two red fish, one a red snapper and the other a nine-spined bass, were their lucky start, brought them good fortune.
Starting with these two fish, Bai Yu and the others also started catching fish, and soon caught a second one.
Moreover, after fishing for so long, Bai Yu and the others have made great progress in their fishing skills.
For example, when judging whether there are fish biting the hook, in the past, white fishing relied on the reaction of the fishing rod and reel. After all, sea fishing basically does not use a float, so there is no accurate reference point to judge whether there are fish biting the hook.
But over the years, Bai Yu has learned a very simple and practical set of skills.
That means when you're fishing, you can place one hand on the fishing rod or on the fishing line at the line outlet of the reel.
Once a fish bites the hook, the other party will drag the bait and hook as they swim, which will cause the fishing rod to vibrate and the reel to move outwards.
The angler can react immediately, grab the fishing rod, and make a hooking motion.
Bai Yu's second catch wasn't very big, just a seven or eight-pound bullhead trevally. He was still wondering about the big fish in the sea.
Didn't we agree there would be more than ten? How come none of the four of them caught a single one? Are these guys looking down on the Ocean University F4?
Oh right, the nickname "Hai Da F4" is a nickname that Bai Yu and his friends gave themselves.
Just then, a sudden, loud noise came from Bai Yu's right side as he manipulated the fishing rod. The noise was so loud that the fishing rod creaked and groaned.
To the side?
It should be noted that only the four members of the Ocean University F4 were fishing at the stern of the boat, while there was only one other person fishing at the spot to Bai Yu's right: Wang Hai.
Sure enough, when Bai Yu turned to look to the right, Wang Hai was vigorously manipulating the fishing rod, his face already flushed. Anyone with eyes could see that he wasn't holding back at all and was putting all his strength into it!
"Damn, Ah Hai, you caught a big fish already? Don't get so excited. Although we haven't been fishing for a long time, we don't need to fight it head-on right away. Let's take it slow, no rush!"
Judging from Wang Hai's demeanor, Bai Yu could tell that the young man was excited because he hadn't gone fishing at sea for several months and had caught a big fish on his first try.
When a person gets excited, their adrenaline surges, which can unleash the body's potential.
Wang Hai was in this state at the moment, unleashing his potential to fight this guy to the death, clearly wanting to reel in the fish as soon as possible and enjoy the thrill of wrestling with a big fish.
Bai Yu also has this feeling, and he even wants to have it now. Unfortunately, he hasn't caught a big fish yet, so he can't experience this feeling.
After being persuaded by Bai Yu and after a minute of stalemate with the guy, Wang Hai finally got his fill and took his hand off the reel, giving the guy a chance to catch his breath.
Let out the line, play the fish!
In Bai Yu's view, today is only their first day of fishing at sea, and they are just experiencing it and getting used to the feeling of fishing at sea.
The real opportunity to catch big fish is yet to come; there's absolutely no need to exhaust yourself fishing right now.
No sooner had Wang Hai been reeling in the fish for less than two minutes than Bai Yu took the fishing rod from Wang Hai and wrestled with him for a while, then Li Shuang, and finally Lu Sheng.
A perfectly healthy big fish was gang-raped by a group of uncivilized young people without its knowledge.
They took turns attacking it and gave it a good beating. What Wang Hai could have endured for half an hour or even longer was now, thanks to the addition of Bai Yu and the other two. In just twenty minutes, they caught a naked tuna and brought it to the surface of the sea.
"Tsk? This thing looks so familiar. A tuna? But something doesn't seem right. Brother Yu, do you know what kind of fish this is?"
As the first big fish caught by the F4 of Ocean University on this sea trip, it immediately attracted the attention of Li Shuang and the others the moment it came to the surface.
However, when they saw this creature, they couldn't immediately identify its species. It looked somewhat like a tuna, but it was quite different from the tuna species they were familiar with.
Moreover, this creature was extremely ferocious; even after reaching the surface and being completely exhausted,
But this creature was unwilling to settle down and continued to thrash about on the surface of the sea, trying to find a new way to escape.
"Isn't this the naked skipjack tuna, also known as the dogtooth tuna? Although it's called a tuna, it only looks slightly like a tuna; there are still quite a few differences."
However, this naked tuna must be about 1.5 to 1.6 meters long, and it's quite plump. It should weigh around 100 to 200 kilograms, so I should be able to make a small profit."
The reason why the naked fox skipjack tuna is called dog tooth tuna is because, apart from its appearance being somewhat similar to that of tuna, its flesh quality is also quite close to that of tuna.
Naturally, the price is not cheap either. For example, the one that Wang Hai caught, although it was not very heavy, only about 100 kilograms, the overall price should not be low. It may be worth the boat fare for one person.
As for the specific value, we'll have to wait until they return to the dock and have the fishmongers give them the price.
"Dogtooth tuna? Naked fox skipjack tuna? What kind of names are these? Never mind, none of that matters, as long as this thing is valuable."
"Exactly! These days, who cares about a name? The key is whether it's valuable! Ah Hai has already caught a big fish, so we brothers have to keep working hard. We can't let Ah Hai outdo us."
Amid Bai Yu and the others' discussion, the crew members on the ship came over with an enormous landing net.
Ignoring the naked tuna's resistance, they scooped it into the landing net and, with the help of Bai Yu and the others, got it onto the deck.
The staff then helped process the naked tuna, bleeding it and removing its internal organs. They marked the creature's tail and then moved it to a cryogenic chamber.
Although the service on this fishing boat isn't as good as the one Brother Li and his crew had, they'll still help you if you need anything and just ask the staff.
However, their help is limited to big fish; as for small fish, the anglers have to deal with them themselves.
