When fishing at sea, the one thing you never lack is time to wait.
If a fisherman can't adjust his mindset properly at this time, he will be extremely bored.
Clearly, Bai Yu and his three companions did not belong to this group; they all took out their phones and started playing some of the most popular games recently.
For example, there are various single-player games such as "Protect the Carrot", "Temple Run", and "Plants vs. Zombies".
There was nothing they could do; there was no network signal at sea. Otherwise, the four of them would have played King of Glory together online.
This game is a mobile game recently released by Tencent. It has only been online for a little over a month, and it already has a huge user base, especially popular among young people.
Just as Bai Yu was protecting the boss in the carrot, he heard the sound of the reel releasing wire.
Bai Yu looked up and saw that his fishing rod was bent at a 90-degree angle, and the fishing line was going out quickly. The speed was so fast that the reel made a whistling sound.
"Holy crap, they're serving fish already? I waited for an hour or two this morning and didn't get a single fish. How long has it been? Ten minutes already?"
Despite his doubts, Bai Yu was quick to act, standing up from the deck and taking two steps to the fishing rod.
However, as soon as Bai Yu turned on the drag on the reel, the speed of the line coming out dropped instantly. The slightest pressure was enough to make this guy unable to stand it.
"What's going on? Could it be that a small fish took the bait? But that doesn't make sense. I used more than a pound of bait. How could a small fish possibly take the bait?"
Bai Yu lifted the fishing rod with a puzzled look, and then he sensed that something was wrong.
First of all, there is indeed weight transmitted through the fishing rod, but this weight is very small, and it definitely does not exceed ten pounds.
Another issue is the tension transmitted through the fishing rod. It doesn't feel like the fish is struggling wildly and darting around after taking the bait.
The fishing rod gave Bai Yu a jerky, intermittent feeling, and under the pressure of the dragger, this jerky feeling was very slow, always giving people a feeling of being powerless.
Based on the overall assessment, the creature Bai Yu caught this time was not large or strong, but it had a very big ambition.
That's quite ambitious, isn't it? Bai Yu's bait is not small at all, but this guy actually wants to get rich quick.
That's why Bai Yu decided to fish this guy up as soon as possible. He wanted to see what kind of audacious fellow was trying to get rich quick.
Bai Yu then began to lift the rod and reel in the line. With each lift of the rod, the creature on the seabed seemed to try to swim further away.
This feeling gave Bai Yu a sense of familiarity; he felt as if he had experienced this feeling somewhere before.
A little over a minute later, just as the fishing line was about to be reeled in, a red figure flashed through Bai Yu's mind.
"Lobster? This feels a bit like fishing for lobsters. It's moving in one go, isn't that the unique way lobsters escape by wagging their tails and running backwards?"
Oh my god, could I have actually caught a lobster? Is it a Chinese lobster, or a Chinese spiny lobster (also known as a flower lobster)?
The mere thought of lobster instantly heightened Bai Yu's anticipation.
Lobster, oh, it's lobster! Lobsters from the sea, whether they're Chinese lobsters, small green lobsters, or Chinese spiny lobsters, none of them are cheap.
Especially the Chinese spiny lobster, also known as the flower lobster, which Bai Yu had caught many times while beachcombing, and each time it made him a small fortune.
Currently, if you're fishing for lobsters at sea, the Chinese spiny lobster has the highest probability of being caught because it's the largest and easiest to catch.
Just as Bai Yu was filled with anticipation, a brightly colored figure appeared on the sea. He was all too familiar with this creature covered in armor and made entirely of legs.
"Holy crap, it really is a lobster! Ah Hai, get me the landing net, I caught a lobster while fishing!!!"
"Here it comes, the net is here."
"Where? Where are the flower lobsters? Can you still catch flower lobsters here?"
"Wow, what a huge lobster! Brother Fisherman, why can't I ever catch a lobster this big!"
Bai Yu's shout to Wang Hai also brought over Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, who were both looking at the lobsters on the sea.
"Luck, luck, it's all luck. Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
As Wang Hai brought over the net, he scooped the lobster into it and carried it onto the deck.
After seeing the lobster's condition, Bai Yu and the others noticed something unusual about it: it wasn't being caught by the hook; it was simply tangled in the fishing line and couldn't escape.
Bai Yu said he was lucky, and that's exactly what luck is—to an exaggerated degree.
Along with the lobster, the squid that Bai Yu used as bait was also caught, meaning that Bai Yu lost nothing; he caught a flower lobster weighing about five or six pounds.
This lobster was probably just passing by when it got tangled in the fishing line and was eventually caught by a white-haired fisherman.
After the lobster took the lead, Bai Yu's situation immediately changed. He started catching all sorts of random things, no longer limited to sea fish.
As soon as Bai Yu removed the fishing line from the lobster, he didn't even need to re-bait it before throwing it into the sea.
While he was playing Candy Crush, before he had even finished the level, his reel started spinning outwards again.
Another fish caught? Are the fish biting this well this afternoon? Is it possible to get one catch after another while sea fishing?
But as soon as I picked up the fishing rod, that strange feeling came back. This time it wasn't jerky, but rather the resistance was very weak, yet it was quite heavy, giving the impression that it wasn't what it was advertised.
What does this feeling resemble?
Oh right, like that ray Li Shuang caught today, it had such a big body, but it just couldn't unleash the power that a body of that size should be able to generate.
However, Bai Yu did not suspect that the fish was a ray, mainly because the weight on the fishing rod was too light, and such a small ray could not eat more than a pound of squid bait.
When Bai Yu finally pulled up the hook, he was completely stunned. This time, he had caught a huge blue crab, an enormous blue crab that was almost the size of Bai Yu's head.
However, no matter how big this blue crab is, it doesn't change the fact that the other side only weighs two or three pounds.
This lobster is even lighter than the previous one. Not only is it lighter, but it's also less valuable. A lobster is much more valuable than a mud crab.
However, it has one thing in common with the flower lobster: it was also entangled in fishing line. The difference is that this blue crab went after the squid, eating all of its tentacles.
After removing the blue crab and placing it in the fish box, Bai Yu threw the squid, now only its head remaining, back into the sea.
Adhering to the principle of diligence and thrift, even though only the head of the squid was left, Bai Yu was not going to waste it and wanted to use it to fish for a third time.
Two minutes later, Bai Yu caught another swimming crab.
The reason it was so fast this time was because the fishing line was already rapidly emerging before the bait even sank to the bottom of the sea.
The reason for this is that as the bait sank, a swimming crab happened to be swimming by, and by sheer coincidence, its leg got tangled in the fishing line.
As it continued to swim further away, it caused the fishing line to move, and finally, Bai Yu pulled the line back in first, and the swimming crab was caught.
Another six or seven minutes passed, and Bai Yu caught another fish.
No, that's not right. What we caught this time wasn't a fish, it was an octopus.
Although the word "octopus" contains the character for fish, it is not a fish, but belongs to the class Cephalopoda in the phylum Mollusca.
This thing is entirely red, and it looks quite creepy at first glance, but if you cook it properly, it will definitely be a mouthwatering delicacy.
The octopus that Bai Yu caught was quite large, weighing about seven or eight pounds including its head and tentacles. Although it contained a lot of water, that was still part of its weight.
If an octopus wasn't considered outrageous, then ten minutes later, Bai Yu caught something even more bizarre: a coconut snail.
Yes, you read that right. Bai Yu actually caught a conch this time, and it was a large conch: a coconut conch.
The coconut snail, also known as the papaya snail, gets its name from its resemblance to a papaya. It is a carnivorous marine creature that feeds on shellfish and various benthic small animals.
I don't know if Bai Yu was too lucky or this coconut snail was too unlucky, but it got caught on a fishhook.
The tip of the hook caught in a gap at the edge of the coconut snail's shell and got stuck. As the snail moved, the creature, along with the fishing line, also drifted away into the distance.
Originally, because the conch shell moves slowly, the fishing line naturally came out very slowly, so slowly that there was no sound at all.
The reason it was caught was because after waiting for seven or eight minutes and seeing that the fishing rod hadn't moved, Bai Yu glanced at the reel.
That one glance was all it took for him to notice something different: his fishing line had been pulled away by ten meters. Originally, he had only let out 97 meters of fishing line, but now the line outside was almost 110 meters long.
It was this discovery that led Bai Yu to catch the coconut snail.
At this moment, not only Bai Yu, but also the other three people at the stern of the boat, looked at Bai Yu with amazement.
'As expected of Brother Fisherman, even the fish he catches are different from normal fish!'
