Although Bai Yu expended a great deal of energy, his efforts were not without results; at least he managed to save a significant number of fishing lines.
It's only been about ten minutes since the sailfish took the bait.
Bai Yu just checked the fishing line in the reel. After such a long period of wear and tear, only 500 meters of fishing line have been released so far.
During the confrontation between Bai Yu and this guy, the guy only took about a hundred meters of fishing line from Bai Yu's hand, which is relatively short.
After all, in the short time it took for this guy to bite the hook, less than a minute, he lost nearly two hundred meters of fishing line.
Bai Yu glanced at the reel, then picked up his fishing rod and started reeling it in, just like reeling in the line without reeling it in.
It wasn't that Bai Yu didn't want to reel in the line, but he simply didn't have the strength to do so. His hands were so sore that he could barely pull the rod.
The reason he kept pulling the rod was mainly to cause trouble for this guy. Even though he was out of strength, this guy wouldn't have an easy time either.
In fact, during the head-on confrontation, although Bai Yu's side did not gain any advantage, the sailfish also paid a certain price.
Judging from the current speed at which he qualified, this guy's speed has decreased significantly, and it won't be long before he runs out of stamina.
Of course, this was just Bai Yu's prediction; no one could predict how things would actually turn out.
Bai Yu thought it wouldn't be long before he could take down this guy. In fact, it took another seven or eight minutes before Bai Yu had almost exhausted his stamina.
During this process, nearly 800 meters of fishing line had been let out of the reel.
Nearly 80% of the fishing line had been let out, and even if Bai Yu wanted to retrieve it all now, it would be a very troublesome task.
"Phew, I've finally worn this guy down enough. Little brat, now it's my turn. Just you wait."
After feeling the pull on the fishing rod decrease, Bai Yu was finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief and relax for a couple of seconds.
He then grabbed a bottle of Mengniu milk from the side, drank it all in one gulp, shook his right hand slightly, took a deep breath, and prepared to begin his operation.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, and Bai Yu wouldn't miss this opportunity. He wanted to reel in as much fishing line as possible before the sailfish recovered its strength.
Bai Yu then took his fishing rod and began to reel in the line, while simultaneously backing away, using the advantage of his lower body to quickly drag the creature towards the shore.
As the white fisherman pulled and reeled in the line, the sailfish refused to give up. It was determined to put up a fight and try to escape the white fisherman's clutches.
However, it was already at its last gasp. Although its resistance did bring some obstacles to Bai Yu, that was all.
Every time Bai Yu casts his line, he can reel in two turns of the line. Then, if he retreats about ten meters, he can reel in several more meters of line.
Although the fishing line I reel in each time isn't very long, it lasts a long time.
Bai Yu spent five or six minutes reeling in nearly a hundred meters of fishing line in one go, and then the two sides began a new round of head-on clashes.
I don't know what this sailfish was thinking. It had only rested for five or six minutes and had just recovered a little strength when it started to flee again.
Bai Yu showed no fear of the sailfish in this state. He was hoping that the fish would fight him head-on before it had recovered any strength, so that the fish would never be able to escape.
This fierce confrontation lasted only two or three minutes before the guy gave up again.
Although its sudden attack caused some obstacles for Bai Yu, his right hand once again lost its strength.
But Bai Yu isn't a one-armed hero with only one arm; he has two hands. If his right hand is too weak, he can just use his left.
Anyway, it's not the time to fight head-on. Even though Bai Yu's left hand strength isn't that great and his power isn't that smooth, it's not exactly a direct confrontation right now.
But if it's just about reeling in the fishing line, then there's no problem. You can just reel it in slowly.
Then Bai Yu used his left hand to reel in the fishing line for a while, and the guy regained some of his strength and once again chose to fight Bai Yu head-on.
This went on several times, and time passed as the two sides alternated between offense and defense. In the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by.
The viewers in the live stream originally thought they would soon see the sailfish fly out of the sea, but who knew that an hour had already passed and Bai Yu's side was still the same, with both sides continuing their battle of wits.
By the end, the live stream had already switched to showing the other players.
For a competition, the simplest way to increase the popularity of the live broadcast is to show more highlight shots.
Although the audience was eager to see the giant sailfish, the camera couldn't focus on Bai Yu anymore, since things were rather monotonous for him before the sailfish appeared.
Bai Yu wasn't particularly familiar with the situation in the live stream, and he didn't have time to find out right now.
For Bai Yu, more than an hour had already passed, and what he needed to do now was to keep trying and catch the guy as soon as possible.
After fishing for so long, there wasn't much fishing line left. He just needed to hold on a little longer to catch the guy.
"Keep going! You'll see that giant marlin soon!"
Bai Yu glanced at the markings on the reel and saw that he had over a hundred meters of fishing line left. He could catch this guy!
"Go, Brother Fisherman! My harpoon and Wang Hai's big landing net are all ready. We're just waiting for you to catch this big fish."
Li Shuang chimed in from the side, pointing to a harpoon at his feet, while Wang Hai had already prepared a landing net; they were all ready.
Right now, the contest between the white fish and the sailfish is a battle of wills; whoever can hold out longer has a greater chance of winning.
Of course, the spoils of war for each side would be different. If the sailfish wins, it might escape from the white fisherman's grasp, or it might be able to hold out a little longer.
But if it loses, the price it will have to pay is its own life, using its own body to contribute to Bai Yu's achievements.
Another ten minutes or so passed, and there was not much fishing line left outside. Just then, Bai Yu saw the sailfish again on the sea.
As it got closer to the shore, the water became shallower and shallower, and the sailfish came to the surface several times.
This creature was unremarkable in every other way, but as soon as it came to the surface, its enormous dorsal fin quickly attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone's eyes were drawn to this sailfish.
This is a giant! It's every angler's dream. Which angler doesn't want to catch a 100-pound behemoth?
Amidst the envious glances of the other competitors, Bai Yu dragged the sailfish to the shore, where Li Shuang was already waiting with his speargun.
After the creature's head emerged from the water, Li Shuang decisively aimed at the sailfish and fired his harpoon.
With a 'whoosh', the harpoon accurately struck the sailfish's head, penetrating more than ten centimeters into its brain.
