With everything prepared, Bai Yu was ready to confront the giant fish head-on.
Others might need to play this kind of big fish for a while, since the fishing line is quite long, giving them enough space to play it, which makes catching it easier.
But Bai Yu didn't think that way. Besides making money, he also really enjoyed the process of fishing, especially the thrill of wrestling with the big fish.
That's why Bai Yu decided to confront this guy head-on right now and let him experience Bai Yu's power first.
Bai Yu then grabbed the handle of the reel, took a deep breath, and prepared to reel in the line.
After he exerted force with his right arm in regular script, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming from it. In just two seconds, his face turned red. The pressure this guy was putting on Bai Yu was just too strong!
"Holy crap, hold on! Aaaaaah!"
A low growl came from Bai Yu's throat. At this moment, he was exerting all his strength, and his body was leaning back slightly, while he was using his own weight to fight against this guy.
Bai Yu had used all the strength she could muster, but after three seconds, she released her grip on the crank handle.
He did use all his strength, that's true, but the fish that took the bait didn't.
Even though I was initially stung by the hook when the rod was lifted, and I could feel the hook in the air, the big fish didn't seem to care much.
They fled quite leisurely, taking their time and showing no sign of being in a hurry.
But Bai Yu started to exert force, and as soon as he did, the fishhook started moving again in the guy's mouth.
The large fish, which had become accustomed to having hooks in its mouth, was suddenly enraged and began to dive with a thud and a wag of its tail.
The fish that had taken the bait was already quite large, and even without using its full strength, it was still a bit difficult for Bai Yu to handle. Now that it had run away, Bai Yu was even more helpless against it.
The reason he was able to hold on for three seconds was because accelerating also takes time, and there's room for recovery during the swaying and shaking of the tail, which allowed Bai Yu to hold on for a while.
The viewers in the live stream had no idea about this situation; they only saw that Bai Yu had just grabbed the crank handle and let go after only a few seconds.
Then the live stream chat exploded with comments, a huge barrage of teasing voices asking if Bai Yu was up to the task.
Bai Yu had anticipated this situation. After letting go, he took out his phone and checked the comments in the live stream.
Anyway, his fishing rod is already fixed in place, and the fishing equipment is already tied to the white fishing rod, so there's no need to worry about the fishing rod at all.
Bai Yu then glanced at the comments and retorted:
"You say I can't do it? Whether I can or not isn't up to you. You don't know how strong this fish is. If you're sure you can do it, then come and fish for it yourselves and experience it for yourselves."
Oh, I almost forgot, you can't go out to sea now, and many of you have never even caught such a big fish. You don't even have the chance to experience it.
"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you guys anymore. I'm going to have some fun with this guy now. If I can't beat him head-on, I'll at least outmaneuver him!"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he put his phone in his pocket and continued fishing with his fishing rod.
As Bai Yu himself said, since he couldn't win by fighting head-on, he would try to deal with the guy in other ways. As long as he could exhaust the guy's stamina, the initiative would return to Bai Yu's hands.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu picked up his fishing rod and started to pull it back, only pulling the rod and not reeling in the line, mainly to provoke the fish that had taken the bait.
As Bai Yu kept jerking his rod, the fish that took the bait were indeed stimulated, because the feeling of the hook being stuck in the flesh is really painful!
Animals instinctively begin to flee when they sense a threat.
The same applies to marine life; this creature keeps diving deeper and deeper into the ocean, reaching the deepest point it can withstand.
Its actions were not an attempt to escape anything, but rather a way to find a hard underwater reef to rub against.
This big guy had tried several methods to get rid of the fishhook in its mouth, including sprinting to wash its gills and swinging its body back and forth to try to shake it off, but in the end, it couldn't get the fishhook off.
Now, all it can think of is to find a hard rock to rub against and try to get the thing hooked in its mouth out.
Especially after the white fish repeatedly jerked the rod, the pain it felt from the rod intensified, and its desire to find a reef became even more urgent.
However, this is not something it can handle by being impatient. First of all, it has to deal with the problem of water pressure. The hook is taken at a depth of more than 200 meters, while the seabed is more than 500 meters deep.
Diving from a depth of over 200 meters to over 500 meters without warning creates terrifying pressure. Even for a large fish weighing 300 or 400 pounds, such a rapid change in pressure would be unbearable.
So now this guy can only dive down while swimming further out.
For Bai Yu, regardless of what this guy was thinking, all he had to do now was keep casting his line, occasionally going head-to-head with it to create some obstacles and wear it down as quickly as possible.
However, Bai Yu also knew one thing clearly: he couldn't possibly catch this big fish all by himself.
While it's not impossible, the time it would take for one person to catch this big fish would be immeasurable.
This was not what Bai Yu had expected. He now wanted to catch the fish in as little time as possible.
Only by catching this fish as quickly as possible can he catch the next one, and the one after that, and earn more money.
About ten minutes later, Bai Yu called out to Wang Hai, who was standing nearby.
"Ah Hai, come help me fish!"
"Brother Yu is here."
Of the eight people fishing on the deck, three are currently fishing, and they have all caught fish weighing over 100 pounds.
The only one who was free was Wang Hai. If he was busy, Bai Yu would have to ask Wang Haojun for help.
Upon hearing Bai Yu's call, Wang Hai immediately ran over. His fishing rod had caught a small Karami, a swordfish weighing over 20 pounds, and the battle was over quickly.
Now that Bai Yu has asked him for help, he is also worried that he has a lot of strength but nowhere to use it.
Bai Yu then quickly took off his gear, and Wang Hai took over the preparations. Initially, he wasn't particularly concerned about this big fish.
Even though this guy had bent the fishing rod at a large angle, he didn't care. He didn't plan to put on the two straps on his legs, but just tied his belt and got ready to work.
But as he gripped the crank handle of the reel and prepared to exert force, his expression immediately changed, and he even lifted his heels off the deck.
The next second he quickly released his right hand, then deftly put on the remaining two straps. After making all the preparations, he exerted force once again.
To be honest, after putting on all the gear, Wang Hai was actually able to hold his own against this guy for a couple of rounds, and he lasted quite a while, holding out for more than twenty seconds.
Bai Yu immediately clapped in response to Wang Hai's encouragement.
Although Wang Hai only held on for about twenty seconds before letting go, he didn't gain the upper hand.
However, this is still a very good result, considering that Bai Yu, who has a three-second time, is ahead of us. This is definitely better than Bai Yu's result.
Then, just like Bai Yu, Wang Hai began to harass the big fish, repeatedly jerking his rod to keep it from stopping.
In fact, constantly casting the line is very physically demanding. Even with Bai Yu and Wang Hai taking turns, it still took them twenty or thirty minutes to almost exhaust the guy's stamina.
By this time, the guy had already dragged the fishing line more than a thousand meters away.
Even with such a long fishing line, it would take Bai Yu and his companion a long time to retrieve it.
After all, this guy has only become weaker, but he hasn't been able to overpower him yet. Even if this guy just moves his body slightly in the water, it's enough to give Bai Yu and the others a hard time.
What's more, this guy is quite heavy, weighing three or four hundred pounds. Even if Bai Yu and Wang Hai were together, they might not weigh as much as this fish.
An hour later, Bai Yu and Wang Hai still hadn't caught their fish, while Lu Sheng had caught his big fish first—a sailfish that was nearly two meters long and weighed at least 200 pounds.
As the big fish was brought ashore, the chat room erupted in excitement, because the sailfish that Lu Sheng had caught was a live fish!
Even after reaching the surface of the sea, this guy was still struggling, trying to escape the control of the fishing hook.
With a swordfish of this size, it's definitely a catch, and it has absolutely nothing to do with being hooked. Even if it were hooked, it wouldn't be a live swordfish.
After all, this thing has a really bad temper. If anyone dares to use a live swordfish to hook fish, the first person to die will definitely be the brave warrior who hooks the fish.
So once you see that what you caught is a swordfish, you can basically rule out the possibility that the fishermen were catching fish that were hooked.
After all, some people will stop at nothing to get traffic, and they'll do things like spamming fish, all for the sake of traffic.
Another half hour passed, and Li Shuang's fish was also caught. Although it took him an extra half hour, the fish he caught was not as big as the sailfish that Lu Sheng caught.
Moreover, it's not even as good as sailfish in terms of variety, and can even be said to be worthless.
Because Li Shuang caught a giant grouper, a species that is prohibited from being fished in other countries and is protected.
That's why people say this guy is worthless; if he can't be sold, then he's worthless.
However, the giant grouper that Li Shuang caught was really big. This guy had yellowish-brown spots and patterns on his body. If you ignore the spots, this grouper is actually quite similar to our giant grouper.
Faced with this protected grouper, Li Shuang could only shrug and prepare to release it.
But the current situation is that catching this grouper is easy, but releasing it is not so easy.
The simplest way is not to get it onto the deck, nor to cut the line directly, but to lower a rope ladder down and take the hook out of the guy's mouth.
This is the simplest way, but Bai Yu and the others are busy right now, and Li Shuang's physical strength is also being depleted. At present, it seems that only security personnel can handle this task.
Li Shuang then turned her gaze to a security guard.
"Brother Liu, I need your help again. I'll have Keke get you a rope ladder. Could you go down and remove the fishhook from this fish's mouth? This thing is protected; we can only release it."
“Okay, that’s no big deal. I can get the rope ladder myself. I’ll find two more people to help me.”
After Liu Ge responded, he went to get the rope ladder.
On the other hand, Bai Yu and Wang Hai have been locked in a stalemate with the big guy that took the bait for two hours, and they still haven't managed to reel it in.
Upon hearing that Li Shuang had caught a protected giant grouper, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had also caught one...?
