As Bai Yu cast his line again, aiming for the same giant fish, this time the wait was much longer.
But it doesn't matter, or rather, the longer he waits, the more it matches his expectations.
After all, he had just caught a bluefin tuna weighing four or five hundred pounds, and he was both hungry and tired. Now that no fish were biting, he could take a short rest and recover his strength.
While waiting, Bai Yu opened his fishing gear bag and took out a bag of bread.
He hasn't even had breakfast since he woke up today.
The simplest way to restore physical strength is to eat; eating and drinking your fill is the simplest and most practical method.
The bread was just an appetizer; Bai Yu's bag contained a whole bunch of other food.
After finishing the bread in his hand, he still had eight-treasure porridge, chicken feet, pig's trotters, and egg rolls in his bag, all waiting for Bai Yu.
These past few mornings, whenever he didn't have time for breakfast, he'd been doing this, getting through it by eating snacks.
This display lasted for half an hour. By the end, Bai Yu had almost forgotten that he was still fishing and was just eating snacks non-stop.
Until he subtly felt the fishing line in his hand move slightly, just that slight movement, Bai Yu stopped what he was doing.
Actually, it wasn't just because the fishing line moved; Bai Yu had been eating for a while when he suddenly realized that it was almost lunchtime.
If he eats too many snacks, he won't have room for lunch later, so he should stop for now.
The fishing line just happened to move slightly, which gave him a perfect excuse to concentrate on fishing.
Bai Yu then stuffed the last bite of the egg roll into his mouth and carefully savored the sensation on the fishing rod.
He was certain that his fishing line had indeed moved, but the movement was so slight that it was almost imperceptible if one wasn't paying attention.
Moreover, after the fishing line moved once, it stopped moving, which made Bai Yu wonder if a big fish had passed by the bait and caused the fishing line to move.
This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it is quite likely. Perhaps the big fish is already full and will not even glance at the bait, even if it passes by.
Even so, Bai Yu did not relax at all. What if this was just a test before the big fish attacked?
So Bai Yu decided to wait a little longer; maybe he would get his wish in the next second!
Sure enough, just as Bai Yu was watching the fishing line, waiting for it to give a new reaction, only about two minutes had passed.
Suddenly, the fishing line in Bai Yu's hand was pulled outwards, and the reel spun twice.
At this moment, Bai Yu's entire attention was focused on the fishing rod, and he reacted immediately to the response from the rod.
He immediately activated the drag, then suddenly jerked the fishing rod upwards, giving the fish that had taken the bait no time to react.
As Bai Yu lifted his rod to set the hook, the rod in his hand bent down, forming a semi-circle.
The fishing rod's reaction clearly demonstrates that his attempt to hook the fish was successful, and he managed to keep the fish that had taken the bait.
Just as Bai Yu placed his right hand on the crank handle of the reel, preparing to reel in two turns of fishing line, he had barely begun to exert force when the force transmitted from above made him invigorated. This guy's strength is quite impressive!
Although it can't compare to the previous bluefin tuna, judging from the force transmitted back from the fishing rod, this fish must have weighed two or three hundred pounds.
Normally, with a fish weighing two or three hundred pounds, Bai Yu could put up a fight, and the outcome would be uncertain.
However, Bai Yu had just caught a bluefin tuna, and although he had rested for half an hour and eaten a lot, his strength had recovered somewhat.
He had indeed recovered some of his strength, but during his previous tuna fishing trip, he had lost more than just his physical strength; both of his arms were extremely sore.
The soreness wasn't something that could be relieved in just half an hour; his arm still felt a bit sore and swollen.
You said that in this situation, sending Bai Yu to fight this big fish head-on is clearly not a wise choice.
Therefore, Bai Yu still planned to use the old trick: first, to stall the opponent, provoke them, and at the same time deplete their stamina.
Bai Yu was very familiar with this technique; he had used it to kill countless big fish and reap countless catches.
Although this fish wasn't small, in Bai Yu's eyes it was just an average size, and handling it was a piece of cake.
Bai Yu then started rapidly pulling the rod, not intending to reel it in, but relying on the drag to give the guy an unparalleled feeling.
As he cast his line, the fish that had taken the bait immediately began to fight back, struggling on the seabed, just as he had expected.
The fishing line was coming out faster, which was a sight that Bai Yu was hoping to see.
After all, the faster the fish emerges from the line, the more it means that the fish that has taken the bait is trying its best to escape to a distant place.
As long as the opponent is in a swimming state, its stamina will inevitably be consumed at all times, which is the best news.
After all, the simplest way for him to catch this big fish with the least amount of effort is to wait for it to run out of energy.
With each cast of his rod, the fish that had taken the bait were stimulated and swam faster and faster.
In no time at all, the other person had run five or six hundred meters away.
If we add the original fishing depth of over 300 meters, the fishing line now cast out is already over 900 meters, which is an astonishing number.
He had already let out half of the fishing line from his reel, and if he didn't take action soon, he wouldn't have much line left.
Of course, the fish that took the bait escaped such a long distance, and the other party did not come away without paying a price.
The simplest point is that when Bai Yu grabbed the reel handle, he could easily feel that the guy's strength had decreased a lot.
The force transmitted back from the crank handle was no longer an irresistible force for him, but rather something he could easily handle.
The only downside was that when Bai Yu was holding the crank handle and just about to start exerting force, he could clearly feel a soreness in his right arm.
"Tsk, my arm is really sore. I'll probably need to rest for a couple of days after this competition, otherwise I won't be able to lift my arm at all."
Despite the soreness in her arms, Bai Yu gritted her teeth and started pulling the thread back in.
The timing is excellent. With his strength, he can start pulling back towards the line and simultaneously deplete his opponent's stamina as quickly as possible.
This was a win-win solution for Bai Yu, so he had to stick with it.
