While Li Shuang was helping Bai Yu fish, the latter was also busy.
When Bai Yu arrived at Li Shuang's fishing spot, he had just exchanged a few words with Lu Sheng next to him when Li Shuang's fishing rod made a sound of a fish taking the bait.
Bai Yu reacted immediately, picking up his fishing rod and setting the hook. He managed to hook the fish, but to his disappointment, the fish that took the bait wasn't very big.
However, considering that Li Shuang was also bottom fishing for big fish at a relatively deep depth, he did not reel the fish in too quickly, but slowly dragged it to the surface of the sea.
After this creature surfaced, just as Bai Yu had predicted, the fish wasn't very big, only a small green spot weighing about seven or eight pounds.
Bai Yu had just caught a grouper when Li Shuang caught a bullhead trevally.
Bai Yu complained that the grouper wasn't big enough, while Li Shuang complained that he had caught another bullhead trevally!
"Hey, Shuangzi, you're in luck! Such a big bullhead tuna, you've only added a few hundred yuan to my earnings from this trip. Not bad, not bad."
Bai Yu looked at the bullhead trevally that Li Shuang had caught and exclaimed in admiration.
After all, while bullhead trevally aren't particularly valuable, a large bullhead trevally weighing fifty or sixty pounds can still be considered a large fish.
Since it's a big fish, even if it's worthless, it should still be given some dignity as a big fish.
"Brother Fisherman, this is just a bullhead trevally, it's worthless, what's so great about it? But the green grouper you caught is quite good, its size of seven or eight pounds is comparable to this bullhead trevally which weighs fifty or sixty pounds!"
Wait a minute! Brother Fisherman, you didn't catch that grouper with my fishing rod, did you? No way!"
Bai Yu looked at the bullhead trevally, while Li Shuang looked at the green spot. As they looked, Li Shuang suddenly realized that the green spot looked like the one he had caught with his fishing rod!
"Yeah, you caught it with your fishing rod. Why do you look so incredulous? What, your fishing rod can't catch a grouper anymore?"
"No, no, no, Brother Fisherman, you've misunderstood. I'm just surprised. You know, I've been fishing all morning, and all I've caught are bullhead trevally. I'm so fed up with this!"
After Li Shuang's explanation, Bai Yu finally understood the whole story.
In short, Bai Yu had exceptionally good luck today, catching one big fish after another, while Li Shuang's luck was rather terrible, catching one bighead carp after another.
What could Bai Yu say besides patting Li Shuang on the shoulder? At this point, it would seem like he was just talking without understanding the situation.
Bai Yu and Li Shuang then switched places and returned to their respective fishing spots.
From that moment on, their luck began to change quietly.
Sometimes when discussing luck, people are labeled with feudal superstition and metaphysics.
But sometimes you just have to believe these things. Like in the current situation, Li Shuang used Bai Yu's fishing rod to catch a fish, mainly to try and ride on Bai Yu's good luck and change the type of fish he could catch.
You know what, it didn't take long for Li Shuang to catch a fish again after they both returned to their respective fishing spots.
This time, the fish he caught wasn't the bull mackerel that always bit the hook before, but a decent-sized nine-spined sea bass, a festive red fish.
Although the value of the nine-spined sea bass is not very high, it is more popular in the market than the bullhead tuna, and its taste is incomparable to that of the nine-spined sea bass.
On the other hand, Bai Yu's good fortune of catching big fish one after another came to an abrupt end as soon as he returned to his fishing spot.
It truly came to an abrupt end, not just that you could still catch some small fish even if you couldn't catch big ones, but that you couldn't catch a single fish at all.
Moreover, every ten or twenty minutes, he would reel in the hook to check it, but each time he would reel in an empty hook. There was no bait on the hook, not even a single fish scale remained.
This means that not only did he not catch a single fish, he also lost a bait. You should know that because of the fishing ban, the price of a mackerel, which was originally 20 yuan, has risen to more than 20 yuan. Losing a bait means he lost more than 20 yuan!
This loss lasted for an entire day, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Excluding lunch and a nap, he was out of work for five hours and lost 13 mackerel baits, worth about 300 yuan.
Bai Yu couldn't understand what was going on. Could it be that his fishing for the day would only end with a few big fish? And he wouldn't be able to catch any more?
His happy time that day was far too short, just a brief moment in the morning...
But what he couldn't understand was that his luck stat was clearly over 30 points today, so there was no reason why he couldn't catch a single fish!
Even though Bai Yu didn't catch a single fish that afternoon, none of the many anglers on the fishing boat dared to say that Bai Yu had come away empty-handed.
After all, based on the few big fish he caught today, even if he didn't catch any fish for just one afternoon, or even if he didn't catch any fish all day tomorrow, no one on the boat would mock him.
After dinner, Bai Yu returned to the crew cabin to rest for a while and replenish his energy for the night fishing later.
He planned to fish until midnight tonight. He refused to believe that he wouldn't catch a single fish, given that he still had over 30 points of luck.
Especially during dinner, the captain told them that there were many large fish in the sea near their current location.
Upon receiving this news, many anglers on the fishing boat immediately went to the deck to fish, without even taking a break, aiming directly at catching big fish.
Even Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, after finishing dinner, took Wang Hai to go fishing on the deck, while Bai Yu went back to the crew quarters to rest.
It's not that Bai Yu has lost confidence in fishing, but rather that he really needs a break. Even though he missed the boat this afternoon, he hasn't been idle at all.
When he had nothing to do, he would help Wang Hai and the others, and then wander around on the deck. Over time, he really did use up a lot of his physical strength.
In order to be in better condition for fishing, Bai Yu went back to the crew room to rest.
After resting for about half an hour, Bai Yu got up from her small bed, tidied herself up, and headed towards the deck.
It was only a little past 7 p.m. at this time. In some inland cities in my country, the sun might not have completely set yet.
However, at sea, in the South China Sea, especially near the Zhongsha Islands, it was already dark, and the lighting equipment on the fishing boats had all been turned on.
As darkness fell, the temperature at sea also dropped.
The daytime temperature was unbearably hot, but at night, the sea breeze brought a refreshing coolness.
In summer, under a sky full of stars and the lights of fishing boats, it's such a pleasant thing to sit on the deck, enjoying the cool sea breeze, and fishing with a few close friends.
Bai Yu, carrying something in her hand, walked towards the stern of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze. Her pleasant mood came to an abrupt end when she heard the words drifting from ahead!
The voice sounded like Li Shuang's, but because he was a bit far from the stern and the sea was quite rough, he couldn't hear what the people at the stern were shouting.
He then hurriedly ran towards the stern of the ship, wanting to find out more about what had happened.
Before Bai Yu could even reach the stern, he saw something hurtling towards him from the air. He instinctively reached out to catch it, and a round fish, like a cannonball, crashed into his arms!
