Looking at the golden pomfret in his hand, Bai Yu felt a sense of satisfaction. To his surprise, fishing was actually quite fun.
More importantly, fishing is not just for fun; he can also sell the fish he catches. For example, the golden pomfret he caught, which weighs two pounds each, has already risen to 30 yuan per pound. This one can sell for more than 60 yuan.
Who wouldn't want to do something that makes them happy and also earns them money?
Of course, this refers to fishing for saltwater fish, not freshwater fish. There aren't many valuable freshwater fish, or rather, the valuable ones are mostly criminal offenses...
After putting the golden pomfret into the bucket, Bai Yu continued to bait the hook and cast his second line.
While waiting for the second cast to catch a fish, Bai Yu wedged his fishing rod into a crevice in the reef, and then strolled around on the nearby rocky beach.
This was mainly because he had just glanced at the rocky beach out of the corner of his eye and saw two large conches in a rocky ditch at his feet. Now that the fish had been caught, he could also go and catch those two large conches.
He was right. How could a cheater like him be inferior to a normal person like Li Xue? So what if she was lucky? She can't be lucky forever.
Bai Yu nimbly descended into the rocky pit, retrieved the two conches inside, and also caught a stone crab along the way.
The stone crab that Bai Yu caught was the kind of crab that looked all rough and had hardly any meat on it; it was the kind of crab that even a dog wouldn't be interested in.
Bai Yu didn't catch it because he wanted to eat it or use it as bait. No fish would eat it as bait anyway. He just caught it for fun.
When Bai Yu returned to his fishing spot, he glanced at the sea and immediately noticed something different.
His fishing float is gone!!!
"Hey, my float is bobbing? Holy crap, another fish has taken the bait?"
Upon realizing this, Bai Yu immediately picked up the fishing rod on the ground and grabbed the reel to reel in the line.
Before reeling in the line, Bai Yu took a look at the line coming out of the reel, and what he saw shocked him.
In a short while, more than forty meters of fishing line had been pulled out of the reel. Including the fishing line he had let out while fishing, the fishing line outside must have been at least sixty or seventy meters long.
Fortunately, Bai Yu wasn't very skilled at fishing. When he cast his second line, he didn't lock the reel. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he could even keep his fishing rod.
Thinking about this situation, Bai Yu felt a wave of fear.
It's not that Bai Yu is reluctant to part with a fishing rod, but the fishing rod he's using now is no ordinary fishing rod; it's a beginner's gift from Brother Tongzi.
This is a one-of-a-kind fishing rod that can increase your luck stat; we can't afford to lose it.
As soon as he got the fishing rod, Bai Yu immediately lifted it up, and the rod bent down, indicating that the fish that had taken the bait was quite big.
"Hey, I love catching big fish. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Feeling the pull on the fishing rod, Bai Yu realized it was different from the previous time he fished for golden pomfret. This time the pull was much stronger, and Bai Yu became quite excited.
After all, no angler dislikes catching big fish, and the bigger the fish that bites the hook, the more excited the angler becomes.
Bai Yu grabbed the reel and started pulling and tugging hard, occasionally whipping the fishing rod a few times. As for playing the fish and letting out the line, Bai Yu had long forgotten about those things in his excitement.
For someone who is new to fishing, we shouldn't have too high expectations. As long as they can catch the fish, everything else is fine.
Fortunately, the fishing rod and line provided by Brother Tongzi were of excellent quality, and no matter how much Bai Yu struggled with them, the fishing rod and line remained perfectly fine.
With a few skillful maneuvers, Bai Yu quickly retrieved the dozens of meters of fishing line.
'Splash, thud.'
With a splashing sound, Bai Yu saw a dark object that briefly appeared on the surface of the sea before disappearing with a flick of its tail.
Although this creature only appeared for a moment, Bai Yu had a sense of familiarity with it, as if he had seen this kind of fish somewhere before.
After thinking it over, Bai Yu remembered the big fish she had found while beachcombing a while ago. It was also found on a rocky beach, and its color and size were so similar to the one she had just seen.
"Could it be a large blue spot? There are so many large blue spots here."
"Xue'er, could you hand me the net next to you? I caught a big fish, but I can't lift it up directly; I need to use a landing net."
With a hint of doubt in her eyes, Bai Yu called out to Li Xue, who was standing next to her.
They each had a fishing rod when they went fishing, but there were only two landing nets. Wang Hai and Li Xue each had one, but Bai Yu didn't have one.
The fish that Bai Yu caught is quite big, and it's unrealistic to expect to use a flying fish to lift it up.
This is a hand rod, not the kind used on boats; it can't lift a fish weighing nearly ten pounds.
Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, Li Xue put down her fishing rod and ran over with the landing net beside her.
By this time, Bai Yu had dragged the fish to the shore, and it was now swaying its tail idly in the water.
Just as Bai Yu had expected, this creature was a large blue-spotted cat, similar in size to the one he had found before.
However, after being dragged and pulled so roughly by Bai Yu, the large blue-spotted animal was already exhausted.
When Li Xue arrived, Bai Yu put the fishing rod in her hand, took the landing net from Li Xue, and walked down the reef to get closer to the big grouper.
After all, the length of the landing net is limited, and it's far too far to reach it while standing on the rocks; you have to come down from the rocks to reach it.
With a series of maneuvers, Bai Yu scooped the nearly ten-pound large grouper into his net and carried it up to the rocks.
