"Brother Yu, did you hear what Brother Li just said? More than 200 jin! That sailfish weighed more than 200 jin."
And according to Brother Li, this one fish alone could sell for tens of thousands! My goodness, you two are really going to become rich overnight from this one fish!!!
"Shuangzi, I know. You've said that so many times. Don't repeat yourself. Instead of wasting time, focus on fishing. I'm sure you can catch big fish too."
Hearing Li Shuang's voice in her ear, Bai Yu's face showed a helpless expression.
It wasn't that Bai Yu lacked patience; it was just that Li Shuang had said this far too many times. In the short time it took to send the sailfish into the fish hold, he had already said it five times, and Bai Yu really didn't want to hear it anymore.
At this moment, Bai Yu's entire focus was on the system panel, checking how many luck points he had left for the day.
It's important to know that Wang Hai is now bound to Bai Yu. Whether the latter goes beachcombing or fishing, as long as the final harvest is related to the sea, it may consume Bai Yu's luck value.
Why use "maybe"? Because Wang Hai himself also has his own luck value, but he doesn't have Brother Tongzi, so he can't materialize his luck value for that day.
When Wang Hai is out beachcombing or fishing, whatever he gets depends entirely on his own luck.
As Bai Yu focused his attention on the system panel, the number 42 on it caught his eye.
42 points. You should know that when he stepped out of the cabin this morning, he had more than 70 points of luck. When Wang Hai caught this sailfish, he still had 62 points.
This means that the sailfish that Wang Hai caught consumed Bai Yu's luck points, and a 200-pound sailfish consumed 20 of his luck points.
One fish costs twenty points. Although the fish is big enough, isn't this consumption a bit too high?
"Brother Tongzi, is Brother Tongzi here? This one fish cost me twenty luck points. Isn't that a bit too much? Did you deduct too many luck points from me?"
If you have any questions, then find someone to help you answer them. As for the question about luck, the only person Bai Yu can ask is Brother Tongzi.
Tongzi ignored him completely, but instead displayed a line of words in front of Bai Yu's eyes, which served as an explanation.
In short, this was the first sailfish that Bai Yu caught. Although Wang Hai was the one who actually caught it, it was still attributed to Bai Yu. Also, this sailfish was big enough that even in the ocean, a sailfish of this size is a rare find.
It's especially difficult to encounter a sailfish of this size in domestic waters.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yu and his group returned to their fishing spot, the announcement on the fishing boat came on, broadcasting the size and weight of the sailfish that Wang Hai had caught.
For a moment, the bow and stern were at opposite ends of the spectrum: the bow fell silent, while the stern erupted in excited cheers.
Come to think of it, those boat owners at the bow charter boats to go fishing at sea and spend money to buy frozen bait to bait the area, but in the end, their catch is not as good as Bai Yu and others.
These kids from Baiyu didn't spend any money on boat fare or buy any frozen bait!
However, these bosses were wealthy after all, and after a brief silence, they quickly came to their senses.
Since Bai Yu and his friends can catch big fish, it proves that the area they are in is rich in resources. They don't believe that with their rich fishing experience, they are no match for Bai Yu and his friends.
So these bosses got really ruthless and bought eight more boxes of frozen bait from the ship, had Brother Li and his men chop it up, and threw it into the sea all at once.
Eight boxes, each weighing twenty pounds, totaling over a hundred pounds of frozen bait, were all thrown into the seabed below their fishing spot at once.
They were able to do this because their morning's catch was quite good, but in terms of the size of a single fish, it certainly couldn't compare to Wang Hai's sailfish.
However, they also caught quite a few big fish, including seven or eight tuna, some weighing 70 or 80 pounds and others 40 or 50 pounds. Overall, it was a very good catch.
When the news reached the stern of the ship, Bai Yu and his three companions fell silent.
"Brother Yu, it's good to be rich. Look at those bosses, they're throwing in boxes and boxes of frozen bait. They must have made over two thousand yuan by now. This is the first time I've realized that fishing costs so much."
"Sigh, people are different. Rich people have their own way of fishing, and we poor people have our own way of fishing."
Look at Ah Hai, he's just like us, and he still caught a huge sailfish. So let's just fish normally and not overthink it.”
"Brother Yu, you said yourself not to think too much, but why are you chopping up the bait? We won't have many mackerel left, and you've already chopped up four or five in just a short while, haven't you?"
Li Shuang stared at Bai Yu with a dark expression. Bai Yu was currently holding a knife and cutting the mackerel they were using as bait.
After chopping it up, I threw the mackerel pieces directly into the sea in front of me.
"Isn't this just doing as the Romans do? We can't be as good as those bosses, so we'll just do a little bit of it."
Realizing that her little trick had been discovered, Bai Yu immediately put away what she was holding and then looked at the sea as if nothing had happened.
While Bai Yu and the others were chatting, Wang Hai nudged Bai Yu on the shoulder and pointed to the sea ahead, saying:
"Brother Yu, look! What's going on over there? Why is there such a big splash? Is the water coming this way?"
"What splash? It's coming this way! Ah Hai, you mean waves, right? Where are they? Point them out to me. Holy crap, what the hell is going on?"
Bai Yu looked in the direction Wang Hai was pointing. He had been nonchalant at first, but after seeing the actual situation, his mouth dropped open and he stared at the scene in disbelief.
In Bai Yu and the others' line of sight, right in front of them, the seawater seemed to be boiling, splashing up bursts of white waves.
Moreover, the wave was moving rapidly toward the fishing boat, and it looked like it would reach them soon.
"Holy crap, Brother Fisherman, look in that direction, isn't that a sailfish that just jumped out of the water? The sailfish that Wang Hai just caught? Is that wave caused by a school of fish?"
Just as Bai Yu and the others were stunned, the sharp-eyed Li Shuang made a new discovery. He saw a large fish that looked just like a sailfish leaping in the waves.
Then came the second, the third, the fourth, and the Nth fish—all big fish.
And it wasn't just sailfish, but sailfish have more obvious characteristics, so Bai Yu and the others could identify them immediately.
"Damn, is this a fish tide? So many big fish are leaping out of the water? Quick, everyone come with me into the cabin and hide. If we get poked by these things, things will get interesting."
"Go into the cabin? Brother Fisherman, there's no need for that. We're on the boat, why should we be afraid of fish in the sea?"
"What do you know? Didn't you see the sailfish in there? Have you forgotten about the sailfish's mouth? Do you want to get poked by the sailfish's mouth? I don't want to get poked, so I'm going to go into the cabin and hide."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he didn't even have time to pack up his fishing rod before he quickly walked towards the bow of the boat.
He wanted to tell Brother Li about the current situation, but how they decided was not his concern.
After Bai Yu returned to the cabin, Wang Hai and the other two followed her in and all went back to the crew quarters to sit down.
However, the white fisherman returned to the cabin, but he left something behind at the stern: his camera.
This is an action camera that Bai Yu specially bought for sea fishing. It's a small camera that can be carried around easily, without being troublesome or heavy.
He wanted to use this camera to record the situation at the stern of the boat.
A little over a minute later, Bai Yu and the others felt the deck beneath their feet vibrate, with a continuous 'thump thump thump' sound.
"Holy crap, Brother Yu, could these sounds be from fish bumping into the boat?"
"Judging from the sound, it should be it. The sound is really dense. I wonder how many fish we can find when we go out later."
Picking up fish? The perceptive Li Shuang immediately noticed the blind spot in Bai Yu's words.
"Collecting fish? What kind of fish? Tell me more, Brother Fisherman."
"Think about it, since these fish can leap out of the water, do you think it's possible for them to jump onto the boat, and then we could... hehe!"
