"A giant catfish? Wow, looks like my luck is pretty good today. I got a giant catfish right off the bat. A hundred-pound fish plus a giant catfish, I've achieved my goal for today!"
Bai Yu watched the giant mouth disappear from the water's surface and muttered to himself.
Although the fish disappeared relatively quickly, he still managed to spot its distinctive features; its enormous mouth was simply too obvious.
Although Bai Yu had never seen what a giant catfish looked like before, he came here specifically to catch one, and before coming, he had searched online to find out what a giant catfish looked like.
Moreover, since they are all catfish, even if there are some differences between them, their characteristic large mouth will never change.
There's no way around it; catfish are a voracious species, and without a big mouth, how could they grow so large?
And just as Bai Yu said, he was indeed quite lucky; his goal in coming fishing today was to catch the giant catfish.
Now he's been given a giant catfish right off the bat, and it's a giant catfish weighing over 100 pounds. Can you say his luck isn't good?
Bai Yu was determined to catch the fish that had taken the bait this time, and he was sure he would catch it soon.
However, he felt he couldn't quite take down the catfish for the time being, because unlike other freshwater fish, this catfish had a special skill: the death roll.
It has the same skill as the crocodile, and this skill can be used not only for feeding, but also when caught by a fisherman, which will cause the fisherman a lot of trouble.
How did you know Bai Yu?
Because Bai Yu is currently experiencing this feeling, the giant catfish probably knows it can't escape by ordinary means and is rolling around wildly at the bottom of the river.
This can be seen just from the turbulent surface of the water; this guy won't be peaceful underwater either.
Faced with the oppressive feeling emanating from this giant catfish, Bai Yu didn't have a good solution. He could only hold the fishing rod tightly against his thigh, refusing to let go.
It's a pity this is on Viktor's relative's farm. If this were in China, Bai Yu would definitely not be in this situation. At least he could still use his belly to make a living.
"Damn, you're pretty strong, but do you think you can get away? If you can't, then come over here obediently. It'll make things easier for you, and it'll make things easier for me too!"
Looking at the water surface, which was as hot as boiling water, Bai Yu started complaining about it, completely disregarding whether the fish that had taken the bait could hear him.
He definitely has to say this, otherwise he won't feel right about it!
"Brother Fisherman, what's going on here? Did you catch another big fish? How big must it be to make such a commotion!"
Wang Hai also noticed Bai Yu's situation. He guessed that Bai Yu might have caught a big fish, but what he couldn't understand was how big the fish could be to make such a commotion.
After all, the entire central water surface was boiling, a scene that is truly rare.
"It's alright, it's just a catfish that weighs a hundred or two hundred pounds. I'll be able to catch it in a little while."
Bai Yu replied with a touch of Versailles.
"A catfish weighing one or two hundred pounds? Brother Yu, you're getting better and better at pretending! You're really something else!"
As Wang Hai spoke, he also moved his fishing rod a little further away.
His fishing spot was not far from Bai Yu's, only three or four meters away. For a giant fish weighing a hundred pounds, that distance was not something that could be covered with just a flick of its tail.
So, in order not to cause trouble for Bai Yu, Wang Hai naturally moved to the side to create some distance between them.
And indeed, just as Bai Yu said, he didn't spend much time dragging the catfish back.
Fishing for freshwater fish is different from fishing for saltwater fish. Bai Yu didn't know what others thought, but for him, fishing for freshwater fish was definitely easier than fishing for saltwater fish.
Even though he was fishing for a giant catfish weighing one or two hundred pounds, after struggling with it for a while, he felt the force on the fishing rod decrease significantly.
Bai Yu immediately noticed the changes on the fishing rod and began his counterattack.
Immediately afterward, Bai Yu took his fishing rod and began to quickly pull back the line. Under his relentless barrage, the fish that had taken the bait could no longer withstand the onslaught and slowly drifted to the shore.
As the giant catfish got closer and closer to the shore, Bai Yu could see a black shadow through the water. The shadow was very large, and every now and then a tail would stick out of the water and slap the surface.
Hearing the commotion from Bai Yu's side, Wang Hai and his two other companions also came over, ready to help Bai Yu at any time.
Bai Yu was lucky; he caught fish shortly after getting off work. Otherwise, at other times, no one might have come to help him.
After all, for a skilled angler, given enough time to cast their line and wait, they will develop a certain illusion.
That means if he just holds on a little longer, a fish will definitely bite the hook in the next second. He must hold on!
Wang Hai and his group had just cast their lines, and Bai Yu had only spent about ten minutes dragging the giant catfish to the shore.
In addition, the commotion caused by Bai Yu fishing for this giant catfish was quite significant, and the fishing spots of Wang Hai and the others were affected to some extent.
That's why they were able to so decisively put down their fishing rods and go help Bai Yu first.
"Brother Yu, isn't this catfish a bit too big? Our landing net isn't big enough; we might not be able to scoop it up!"
Holding the landing net, Wang Hai looked at the catfish that had already reached the shore, feeling quite at a loss as to where to begin.
The main problem is that this catfish is really too long. I don't know what's wrong with it. You could say it has a poor life, but this guy is over two meters long and has a very big head.
But if you're talking about his life, well, apart from his head, this guy is incredibly thin and long from the head down, very frail.
It has the head of a catfish but the body of an eel, making it look particularly strange.
Of course, this analogy is a bit exaggerated, but it shows that this giant catfish is really too thin and doesn't look like a fish that's over two meters long.
Judging by the size of this giant catfish, it's clearly malnourished.
That's why Bai Yu was able to catch it so quickly. If it were a normal giant catfish that was over two meters long, how could Bai Yu have caught it so quickly?
"Is this a catfish? Whose catfish looks like this? How long has it been since this guy had a proper meal? It looks really pitiful."
Bai Yu was filled with emotion after seeing the catfish.
Of course, Bai Yu had seen this kind of thin catfish before; they could be found in fishponds that were neglected and never fed.
In addition, there are catfish in aquariums that can be starved to this state by their owners being away for half a month or a month.
But what appeared before Bai Yu now was not the neglected farmed catfish, but a wild catfish in a river hundreds of meters wide. This guy had been starved to the point of looking like this.
Catfish are omnivorous freshwater fish; they are not picky eaters and will eat anything that is available.
If there's absolutely nothing to eat, eating mud is a way to survive.
However, the giant catfish that Bai Yu caught was in a terrible state, except for its length; it looked like it hadn't eaten yet.
This also gives us a rough idea that although the river in front of us is quite large, the presence of these giant catfish has likely destroyed its ecosystem.
The resources available for the giant catfish to eat are dwindling, and they are already in a state of hunger.
"Ah Hai, use the net to scoop up the catfish's head first, then curl up the rest of its body and tail. If that doesn't work, coil it into a circle and do it a few times, that should be enough."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he also manipulated the fishing rod to work with Wang Hai to put the giant catfish into the landing net.
Despite the fact that this catfish was so big and looked a bit malnourished, Bai Yu had no intention of getting close to it.
Especially since this thing is in the water, and it even has a special move called the "death roll," if it bites you and then does a death roll on you...
If this system gets into chaos, no one can stand it.
Fortunately, this giant catfish was a malnourished fish. Even if it didn't want to go any further, under Bai Yu's control, this was the only way it could go, and whether it went or not was not up to him.
In just twenty seconds, Wang Hai had snatched the giant catfish's head inside, and the rest was much simpler.
This giant catfish is a typical top-heavy type. As long as you get its head into the net, along with part of its body, you can get it ashore.
With the help of a staff member, the two of them worked together to get the catfish out of the water. Then, the four of them immediately surrounded it and examined the giant catfish from head to toe.
Judging by sight, the giant catfish that Bai Yu caught this time was of a pretty good length, although it didn't reach the exaggerated six or seven meters.
However, if the giant catfish they caught this time were laid out on flat ground, it would be at least two and a half meters long, definitely a super big fish.
It's a pity that this gluttonous catfish ended up in such a miserable state, unable even to eat its fill and become a little fatter.
Thinking of this scene, Bai Yu really felt sorry for it and its fellow creatures. She wondered what they were doing in Paris!
