After silently reflecting on his actions, Bai Yu suddenly jerked the fishing rod upwards, giving the guy a hard shove.
His current mindset is unacceptable. If he's not even enthusiastic about fishing, how can he compete for the championship in this competition?
So, to the fish that took the bait this time, Bai Yu only had one thing to say: You just wait, wait for me to catch you.
As for breakfast? When can't you eat? You can eat after you've finished fishing, it's the same.
As Bai Yu lifted his rod to set the hook, the rod bent downwards. He then activated the drag to apply pressure to the fish.
As he lifted the rod to set the hook, he also took the opportunity to gauge the size of the fish that had taken the bait, and he had a very bad feeling about it.
The fish that bite the hook are of a very good size, at least 200 pounds or even larger.
The unfriendly aspect for Bai Yu is that he doesn't know if he'll be able to eat breakfast today.
This wasn't because Bai Yu lacked confidence; it was simply that the fish that bit the hook this time was a bit too aggressive.
He had only just lifted the rod to hook the fish when it started to speed away. Even though Bai Yu had activated the drag, he still couldn't stop it.
The key issue is that, given the opponent's momentum, Bai Yu doesn't dare to lock the fishing line directly. He's afraid that the moment he puts his right hand on the crank handle, the pulling force will injure his arm.
For safety reasons, Bai Yu still plans to take the attrition route.
Anyway, the fishing line he used this time was long enough, a full two thousand meters long. He refused to believe that he couldn't wear down his opponent!
In order to exhaust the opponent's strength more quickly, Bai Yu would have to keep casting the line, making the opponent feel the hook piercing their flesh.
Then Bai Yu pushed the handle of the fishing rod against the top of his stomach and started casting!
For any angler, the most beautiful sound in the world is the sound of the fishing rod cutting through the wind when you cast it.
The swishing sound was so pleasant; it would be even better if the fishing line could be pulled back a couple more times.
However, the fishing line is not easy to reel in right now, so we have to wait a little while before we can start reeling it in.
After about a minute, Bai Yu had cast out about a hundred meters of fishing line, and he finally decided to have a go at this guy.
We have to try. If we don't try now, we'll give this guy too much fishing line, and it'll run too far away, making it harder to control.
Bai Yu then took a deep breath, placed his right hand on the crank handle of the reel, and then exerted force with his right arm to lock the fishing line and stop the other party's advance.
In the instant he exerted his strength, the immense force transmitted from the reel caused his right arm to rotate counterclockwise a full circle.
Fortunately, Bai Yu had prepared himself mentally before exerting force, so even though he was pulled upside down by this guy, his arm was fine.
This is the advantage of having experience. If an inexperienced person were to do this, they could easily strain their muscles if they were not careful.
After one lap, Bai Yu still managed to withstand the opponent's pull, and the veins on his arms bulged out.
However, he only managed to hold out for a few seconds before his arm spun around again, then held out for another second before spinning around once more...
After three rounds, Bai Yu couldn't take it anymore. His arms were sore and aching, so he let go of the crank handle.
"Wow, it's pretty strong. This is going to be tough. I can't beat it at all. Could it really be a great white shark?"
After a simple test, Bai Yu came to a conclusion: the guy's weight needs to be increased further. Two hundred pounds is not its limit, and even three hundred pounds is not its limit.
Given Bai Yu's current strength, he couldn't quite figure out where this guy's limit was.
Since they couldn't withstand the opponent's pull, Bai Yu decided to try to wear down the opponent's stamina as quickly as possible by pulling the rod.
He has only cast out a little over 400 meters of fishing line so far, with more than 1,000 meters left. He still has plenty of room to maneuver and can have some fun with this guy for a while.
Then came the familiar part for the audience: casting the line, casting the line, and casting the line again.
However, Bai Yu is no longer simply casting his line. He's only cast a few times before he decides to give this guy a big shove and test the waters against him.
Although the final result was always the same—Bai Yu was no match for his opponent—each time they clashed head-on, it was the best opportunity for Bai Yu to exhaust his opponent's stamina.
Even after several repetitions, Bai Yu's right arm was already very sore, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
At first, you could hold out for three to five seconds, then you could only hold out for a moment, and then for more than ten seconds.
This is a long process, a process in which the opponent's physical strength is decreasing, and at the same time, it is a process in which Bai Yu is adapting to the opponent's rhythm.
Regardless, Bai Yu is a professional athlete. Even though his specialty is long-distance running, arm strength is not his forte.
However, he adapted very well, and in just over ten minutes, he was able to withstand the tension from the fishing line.
Thanks to Bai Yu's persistence, in those ten minutes or so, he only lost three or four hundred meters of fishing line, leaving about a thousand meters of line remaining.
This was one of the few pieces of good news for Bai Yu.
Anyone who has ever caught a giant fish knows that if you can withstand the fish's first burst of energy and prevent it from escaping by washing its gills, then the fishing trip is basically over.
It's only a matter of time before we can catch it, and it won't be long.
Although Bai Yu is only able to withstand the opponent's pull right now, he has not yet gained the upper hand, nor has he exhausted the opponent's stamina.
But he remains confident; he is quite self-assured.
Now that he can withstand the pull of the other party, things will be much easier from here on out. Just keep up the good work and keep going!
