Hammerhead sharks, as the name suggests, are sharks whose heads are shaped like hammers.
Those who have played fishing games should be familiar with this type of shark and know quite a bit about it.
After all, in fishing games, the hammerhead shark is one of the bosses, and it is also very huge. Catching one will earn you at least a hundred times the amount of gold coins.
However, in the ocean, the hammerhead shark is a bit less impressive; it's not as ferocious as one might imagine.
Who told this guy's head to look like a hammer, with his mouth below that hammer?
This creature mainly feeds on seabed fish or crustaceans. While it poses a threat to humans, it's not as great as the threat we pose to hammerhead sharks.
Hammerhead sharks comprise nine subspecies, but five of them are critically endangered or endangered.
The reason for this is that shark fins are the culprit.
Well, shark fins. Now that we've come this far, you should know who poses a greater threat to whom.
The hammerhead shark that took the bait seemed to Bai Yu to weigh only a little over 100 pounds, which is not considered a particularly large size among hammerhead sharks.
That's why Bai Yu dared to fish it up; otherwise, if it were a fish weighing four or five hundred pounds, he would have cut the line immediately.
Even though this guy has splashed some seawater on her, Bai Yu is still prepared to give it a chance to regain its freedom.
But before that, Bai Yu had to fish it onto the deck and take a picture with it before talking about anything else.
Bai Yu then reeled in the line even faster, wanting to reel in more fishing line before the guy could resist again.
It didn't take long for the fishing line, which had loosened, to tighten again. However, by this time, Bai Yu had already reeled in too much fishing line.
There was only a tiny bit of fishing line left that hadn't been reeled in, and it wouldn't be long before Bai Yu was able to catch the guy.
Earlier, when this guy came to the sea and splashed Bai Yu with seawater, the scene was captured by the camera and broadcast live to the live stream room.
Viewers were quite curious about the shark that Bai Yu caught this time, wanting to see what it looked like.
After all, sharks are a species that most people will never come into contact with in their entire lives.
Even if people want to see it, most of the time they do so through documentaries or videos on TV, or at best, through aquariums.
The scene of Bai Yu fishing for sharks right now is also a rare sight for them, and they really want to see it.
The subsequent fishing trip was uneventful. Even if this fish, weighing over 100 pounds, was a shark, it couldn't possibly cause much trouble for Bai Yu.
Let alone fish weighing over 100 pounds, even if you catch several times that amount, so what? He's caught fish weighing over 1,000 pounds before.
In just over ten minutes, Bai Yu had fished the creature up and brought it onto the deck.
Looking at the hammerhead shark on the deck, Bai Yu recognized its species. It was a hammerhead shark, which is active in the area from the southern East China Sea to the South China Sea in my country.
The hammerhead shark that Bai Hao caught was only a little over a meter long and weighed about 130 to 140 kilograms, which could be considered a giant.
However, this size of hammerhead shark is indeed considered juvenile within its family, and has not yet grown up.
Hammerhead sharks typically weigh over 200 kilograms, with larger ones reaching 400 or 500 kilograms. This one, weighing just over 100 kilograms, is practically the size of a child.
One distinctive feature of this hammerhead shark is its exceptionally large, long, and prominent dorsal fin.
It was because of this fin that Bai Yu noticed its presence immediately.
Another distinctive feature of this hammerhead shark is the large hammer-shaped protrusion on the front of its head. Even more remarkably, its eyes are located on either side of this hammer, making it appear particularly bizarre.
However, these were not on Bai Yu's mind. What was giving Bai Yu a headache now was how to get the fishhook out of the guy's mouth.
As mentioned before, this guy's mouth is below the hammer. While Bai Yu could flip the hammerhead shark over and expose its mouth,
However, there is one thing that Bai Yu cannot ignore: this hammerhead shark is still a shark after all. It has sharp teeth that are common to sharks, and they are rows and rows of them, making it extremely terrifying.
Even Bai Yu, who had extensive fishing experience, was not entirely at peace under these circumstances.
However, the hook had to be removed. If he had cut the line before the hammerhead shark was caught by the white fisherman, losing part of the line and hook, he wouldn't have said anything.
After all, it's a shark. Whatever is done is for safety reasons and is understandable.
But not now. Bai Yu has already caught the hammerhead shark, so there's no reason to put it back without even removing the hook.
After all, the hammerhead shark has another identity: it is an internationally protected animal, classified as critically endangered or vulnerable.
Although it is not a protected animal in China, its numbers are still very small and it is extremely rare.
Bai Yu has always been very soft-hearted towards these vulnerable species, and he plans to hand over the fishing hook and release the fish.
"Hey, Brother Li, give me a hand. We'll flip this hammerhead shark over in a bit. You hold it down while I get the hook."
Bai Yu took a deep breath and looked at Brother Li, who was helping him.
"Mr. Bai, this is a bit inappropriate. This is a shark. If you take the hook yourself, what if something happens? Why don't you let me do it?"
Brother Li is a grateful person. His rise to prominence was thanks to Bai Yu's help. Now, seeing the obvious danger of taking out the fishing hook, he naturally wanted to help Bai Yu stop it.
Even if it's something to be taken, it should be him doing it, not Bai Yu.
"Brother Li, let me handle this myself. This guy may seem dangerous, but I have everything under control. Don't worry, there won't be any problems."
Seeing Bai Yu's insistence, Brother Li didn't say anything more. He could only keep the hammerhead shark under control during the subsequent operations, trying to give Bai Yu a safer environment to retrieve the fishing hook.
Then Brother Li helped Bai Yu flip the hammerhead shark over.
As the hammerhead shark was flipped over, its mouth was exposed, and Bai Yu saw good news by the light.
That is, he had already seen the fishhook near the mouth of the hammerhead shark, but the shark hadn't swallowed the hook too deeply.
This is good news for Bai Yu, as it saves him a lot of trouble.
