As Bai Yu searched for a fishing spot, he looked at the river in front of him.
As Bai Yu had described, the river was not actually small, with a width of about 60 or 70 meters, and in some places it was over 100 meters wide.
This river is indeed quite large, but what puzzled him was whether a river of this size could really harbor giant catfish measuring six or seven meters in length.
And not just one, but a whole group?
That's right, there was a whole group of them. According to Victor, there were many giant catfish in their area; it was never just one.
Victor alone caught no fewer than ten giant catfish here, all of them over two meters long.
But after catching them, Victor released them all back into the wild.
In his words, he wasn't particularly interested in catfish, and fishing was just a hobby.
If that's the case, why not release the catfish that were caught back into the wild?
These were incredibly surprising statements that left Bai Yu completely speechless, but he did not agree with them.
After all, catfish are very greedy creatures, especially the giant catfish that Victor mentioned, whose appetite in one meal is terrifying.
If there are too many giant catfish in a river, it will definitely affect the local river ecosystem. Even the best resources can be depleted by them.
Bai Yu quickly chose a fishing spot, about 30 or 40 meters away from their parking area, where there was a gentle slope, perfect for fishing.
Victor also brought out everything they would need later, including a large bag of chicken as bait.
These things look like they were freshly killed this morning; there are about seven or eight of them, each cut into several large pieces.
This is their bait, specifically designed for catching giant catfish.
Catfish are omnivorous freshwater fish; they eat almost anything and don't have the concept of being picky eaters.
However, when faced with the choice between eating meat and eating vegetables, I think even a catfish, which isn't very intelligent, should know how to choose.
Bai Yu then took some chicken from Victor and went fishing with Wang Hai.
Before setting off, Bai Yu had already assembled the fishing rod and placed it in the back of the pickup truck. Now all he needed to do was put the bait on the hook and he could start fishing.
Anyone who has ever fished for a fish weighing over 100 pounds knows that to catch a fish weighing over 100 pounds, besides having enough fishing line, you also need a strong enough hook.
At the very least, you can't let the big fish pull the hook straight during the struggle, otherwise it will get away.
Therefore, Bai Yu naturally prepared a powerful fishhook, large enough to fit in his palm, and the hook was about the thickness of a little finger.
Bai Yu had to put in a lot of effort to hide such a large fishhook, and it took him a long time to stuff it into the chicken.
Once everything was ready, Bai Yu swung the fishing rod twice above his head, then flicked it forward.
With a 'whoosh' sound, the chicken, hooked and flying, flew out in an arc through the air.
Then, with a 'plop,' it fell into the water and disappeared from Bai Yu's sight.
With his cast, he flung the bait thirty or forty meters away, landing it directly in the middle of the river.
Thirty or forty meters may not seem far, but you can't help it because the bait used by the white fisherman is too big, weighing more than a pound, almost two pounds.
I don't know what kind of chicken Viktor used, but after it was processed, it still weighed about ten pounds. That chicken was really quite big.
Before Bai Yu could figure it out, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sink, and then the fishing line started to pull out quickly.
This sudden scene completely stunned Bai Yu, who was somewhat confused about what was going on.
After all, he had only just cast his line and the bait had just hit the water, and there were already fish biting the hook? Isn't that a bit too fast?
Moreover, based on the sounds coming from the fishing rod this time, he could roughly judge that the fish that bit the hook this time was definitely not small.
This is like being presented with a big fish right from the start. How could Bai Yu not be stunned? The resources in Greater Paris are so good.
However, Bai Yu was only stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted and lifted the fishing rod sharply upwards.
First, give this guy a quick hookset to tighten the hook and prevent it from escaping easily.
Then he immediately turned on the load shear, applying pressure to the guy by releasing the load.
Through this experience of setting the hook, Bai Yu was able to roughly determine the size of the fish, just a rough estimate of its weight, but it definitely weighed over 100 pounds.
Bai Yu was in a great mood when he was faced with a giant creature weighing over 100 pounds right from the start, and he immediately launched a counterattack.
It wasn't that Bai Yu was eager to fight this guy head-on; the main reason was that the fishing line Bai Yu was using wasn't very long.
Despite the fishing line's 200-pound tensile strength, it's only a little over 100 meters long. He casts it dozens of meters at a time.
If we let this guy escape, it won't be long before there's not much fishing line left in the reel.
That's why Bai Yu naturally had to confront this guy head-on beforehand and stop his escape.
Moreover, this was just a large fish weighing over 100 pounds. Although it was a large fish, it was still within Bai Yu's capabilities.
Moreover, Bai Yu is very experienced in dealing with fish of this size. As long as he keeps wearing down the opponent, it won't be long before the guy is exhausted.
Once this guy shows signs of fatigue, it will naturally be Bai Yu's turn to exert his strength.
Then Bai Yu started jerking the rod quickly, trying to use this to move the rod and cause trouble for the guy.
After all, Bai Yu was using a fishhook as thick as a little finger. This thing could be used to hook not only fish, but also people. Even the toughest man might not be able to endure it.
So the fish that took the bait this time was really unlucky. As Bai Yu kept pulling the rod, the hook was constantly being swirled around in the guy's mouth, causing him endless pain.
In this situation, the fish that took the bait naturally wouldn't just sit idly by and wait to die, but would try all sorts of tricks to get rid of the hook.
But no matter what it tries—whether it tries to run to the other side of the river, burrow into deeper mud and sand, or swim upstream or downstream—it can't escape the fishhook's grasp.
This was quite annoying, and it gradually made the fish that had taken the bait become agitated, causing it to start darting around haphazardly.
Chaos! This is exactly the result Bai Yu wanted!
After feeling the sensation transmitted through the fishing rod, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, as everything was proceeding according to his plan.
But as he walked, he noticed something was wrong. He was having a good time with this guy, but suddenly the tension on the fishing rod disappeared.
Before Bai Yu could react, a black shadow appeared on the water in front of him, and then it shook its head and wagged its tail, creating a large splash of water.
"A giant catfish? Wow, looks like my luck is pretty good today. I got a giant catfish right off the bat. A hundred-pound fish plus a giant catfish, I've achieved my goal for today!"
