Surrounded by these shadowy figures, the largest and fattest one, ahead of all the others, swallowed the mackerel whole in one gulp!
Bai Yu, who was comfortably reeling in his fishing line on the deck, eager to explore the bait, suddenly felt a tremendous force on the reel.
Caught off guard, the crank handle he had been holding slipped from his grasp, narrowly avoiding a wrist injury.
"Damn it, what's going on tonight? First, a great white shark took the bait, then the second one mistook a bullhead trevally for a 200-pound fish, and now you're trying to ambush me again!"
"You're really targeting me, aren't you? You've really got too big for your britches! Just you wait!"
Fortunately, the white-haired fisherman released the rod quickly; he let go the moment the pulling force came through.
Then, while shaking his wrist, Bai Yu started threatening the guy who had taken the bait, wishing he could fish it out of the sea right now and bleed it out immediately!
Those who launch sneak attacks are no good and must be punished properly.
The reason Bai Yu had this thought was because he felt that the fishing rod was giving him a completely different feeling than before.
Before, something was gently tugging at the fishing line, but now it's different. Now, the fishing rod gives Bai Yu the feeling that a very temperamental creature is slung over the hook.
It struggled fiercely, thrashing left and right, dragging the fishing line; it was clearly not an easy opponent and was exceptionally ferocious.
After activating the decelerator, Bai Yu seized the opportunity again, grabbed the crank handle of the reel, and began to exert force with his right arm, preparing to fight this guy head-on.
He's been fishing for over an hour now, since he finished dinner, and he's caught several fish, but none of them have been satisfying.
The guy who launched the sneak attack is obviously quite big, so it should be good for him to have some fun and have a good wrestling match with.
As Bai Yu exerted his strength, a creaking sound immediately came from the fishing rod. Under the collision of forces, the fishing rod itself must have suffered the most, as the pressure it was under was immense.
Secondly, there was the fishing line. This time, Bai Yu and his opponent were more than 300 meters apart, connected only by a fishing line, trying to determine the winner in terms of strength.
Unfortunately, the fish that took the bait was in its most energetic phase, and Bai Yu didn't gain any advantage at first; in fact, he was at a disadvantage.
His hand, which was gripping the crank handle, was being dragged around by this guy, spinning counterclockwise in circles.
"Holy crap, is this a really big fish? What kind of fish could it be? Tuna? Marlin? Grouper? Napoleon wrasse?"
"Forget about the Napoleon wrasse; fishing for them is illegal, and you wouldn't get any money for them even if you caught one."
Seeing that he couldn't out-strength his opponent, Bai Yu let go of the crank handle and let the guy swim on his own.
However, Bai Yu was not going to let his opponent have it too easy. Even while casting, he would occasionally cast a couple of times or grab the reel to go head-to-head with his opponent, mainly to mess with his opponent's mentality and exhaust their stamina as quickly as possible.
As Bai Yu had guessed, as long as it wasn't a Napoleon wrasse, any of the other three types of fish mentioned above would do; he wasn't picky.
If it's one of the other three types of fish, he'll earn several tens of thousands of dollars again, adding to his success on this sea voyage.
Just then, Wang Hai and his two companions, who had been watching the dolphins at the bow of the boat, returned. Upon their return, they saw that Bai Yu had caught another fish, prompting them to exclaim, "Brother Yu's luck is truly amazing!"
"Stop reminiscing and get back to your fishing spots. Some of you have caught a fish. I just helped by lifting the rod and setting the hook, but I won't say who it was. Go and see for yourselves."
"Fish caught? Who? Who caught a fish? Brother Fisherman, you're not being fair, you don't finish your sentence."
"Exactly, why are we being so cryptic, making us figure it out ourselves?"
"It's here! I've got a fish!"
Bai Yu's words piqued the interest of Wang Hai and the other two, and they all hurried to their respective fishing spots to see if they had caught any fish.
Soon, good news came: it wasn't just one person who caught a fish, but all four of them caught one, only the size of the fish felt on their fishing rods was different.
Bai Yu and his companions hadn't experienced four people catching fish at the same time in a long time, but the feeling was still familiar to them.
In the past, the boats we used to take when going out to sea were all a bit too small, and the width of fishing boats was also limited. If too many people were fishing at the same time, it would cause a chaotic scene.
However, the boat they were on this time was a medium to large fishing boat, over forty meters long, with a slightly wider stern, about eight or nine meters wide.
For Bai Yu and his three companions, this width is more than enough space for them to maneuver even if they catch fish at the same time, provided their operations are in sync.
So even though Bai Yu and the others are fishing, the four of them are not flustered at all, and each of them is seriously fishing for their own fish.
However, if two fishing lines get too close together, they will notify each other and then quickly pull the fish away from the sea to prevent the two fishing lines from getting tangled.
It took about seven or eight minutes before Li Shuang's fish was caught. The fish that took the bait this time was a grouper, and a large one at that, weighing over ten pounds.
Then it was Lu Sheng's turn. He caught a bullhead tuna, a bullhead tuna weighing twenty or thirty pounds.
Next up is Wang Hai. Li Shuang had already caught his second fish, while Wang Hai's first fish was only just arriving, and he had just dragged it to the surface.
His fish was pretty good; it was a yellowfin tuna weighing several tens of kilograms.
At this point, three of the Ocean University F4 members have caught fish, with Li Shuang and Lu Sheng each catching two fish, and Wang Hai catching one.
Only half an hour had passed, and in that short time, they had already made their own gains.
As for the last of the Haida F4, and the one who caught the first fish in this round, what is our Mr. Bai Yu doing?
He was obviously fishing; what else could he be doing?
However, because the fish that took the bait this time was quite large, it was difficult for him to catch it by himself. In half an hour, he not only failed to catch it, but he also ran out of fishing line in his reel.
