Once the decision was made, Bai Yu acted very quickly.
As the saying goes, hesitation leads to defeat. To gain an advantage, striking first doesn't guarantee victory, but at least it allows you to take the initiative.
Then Bai Yu took the fishing rod and locked the reel. No matter how the guy resisted or exerted force, Bai Yu did not back down at all and firmly resisted the pull.
As the two forces collided, the fishing rod also bent, and it made a creaking sound.
Faced with the sound of the fishing rod, Bai Yu remained calm and unyielding, refusing to let go and even reeling in the line.
This time, the force transmitted through the fishing rod was much less than before, but Bai Yu's left arm strength was no less than necessary.
In this situation, Bai Yu easily started reeling in the line.
As the first loop of fishing line is retrieved, the outcome of the fish that has taken the bait is now decided; the only question is how long it will take the fisherman to catch it.
Four hundred meters of fishing line isn't that long, but it's not short either. Add a few dozen more meters and it'll be a kilometer.
As Bai Yu continued to exert his strength, he reeled in sixty or seventy meters of fishing line in the first wave, and it only took him five or six minutes.
Well, for someone fishing for a fish weighing over 200 pounds, this efficiency is not low.
However, Bai Yu also stopped temporarily, because after a few minutes of recovery, the fish that had taken the bait began a new round of struggle.
In this situation, Bai Yu still needed to take it a little more seriously. He switched the fishing rod to his right hand again and continued to fight this guy.
Well, this time Bai Yu wasn't going to give it any chance. Even if it resisted, what Bai Yu wanted to do was prevent it from pulling away more fishing line.
To avoid his previous efforts going to waste, he should at least keep some fishing line to reduce the pressure on himself.
Bai Yu's method was effective. Under his method, the fish that had taken the bait spent four or five minutes managing to take only about ten meters of fishing line from his hand.
Such a small amount of fishing line is perfectly acceptable for Bai Yu.
After this round of pulling, it was time for Bai Yu to take the lead again. He switched the fishing rod to his left hand and began to pull the fish that had taken the bait.
This was repeated seven or eight times, and more than an hour had passed. Bai Yu glanced at the markings on the reel and saw that there wasn't much fishing line left.
"Phew, it's been over an hour. You finally couldn't outlast me. I'll be able to reel you in soon. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Bai Yu looked at the few remaining fishing lines, filled with anticipation.
After all, he felt very good about the fish that bit the hook this time. It was a big fish weighing over 200 pounds. If he handled it properly, it could give him a score of over 200 pounds.
Under these circumstances, it's only natural that Bai Yu would feel a little excited.
Of course, Bai Yu was also a little uneasy, fearing that he might have caught another shark this time.
Then, amidst Bai Yu's complex inner turmoil, the remaining fishing line was gradually pulled up.
As the number of fishing lines still hanging outside dwindled, Bai Yu, using the boat's lights, could vaguely see a shadow approaching the fishing boat from beneath the surface of the sea.
However, due to the poor visibility, the shadow was not very clear, and it was impossible to tell what kind of fish it was.
The only relatively good thing is that, so far, this guy hasn't shown his triangular dorsal fin.
As long as the triangular dorsal fin is not visible, it's good news for Bai Yu. At least for now, this guy isn't a shark.
As time ticked by, a round, plump figure soon appeared on the surface of the sea. This time, Bai Yu saw clearly that this large fish was definitely not a shark.
Instead, it was a big fish that Bai Yu hadn't expected, and that he was also looking forward to: a tuna!
"A bigeye tuna? How did this thing get here? The water here shouldn't be deep enough for a bigeye tuna like that, right?"
Bai Yu looked at the bigeye tuna on the sea surface, noticing its distinctive body shape, large eyes, and brightly colored fins.
Bai Yu was certain that this was a bigeye tuna, about 1.78 meters long, and weighed over 200 pounds—a real fat guy.
However, just as Bai Yu wondered, why would there be a tuna here, and such a big one at that?
It's not that tuna won't appear in the waters where Bai Yu and his group are now; it's definitely possible. It's just that tuna this big are quite rare, extremely rare.
As mentioned before, the waters where they are currently located are relatively shallow, only about 60 or 70 meters deep.
As for tuna, especially large tuna weighing over 200 pounds, they mostly live in waters at depths of 100 to 200 meters or more. Those at just over 100 meters are relatively rare, and most live at depths of 100 to 200 meters or more.
For other sea fish, high water pressure might kill them, but for tuna, the apex predator of the ocean, low water pressure is actually unsuitable for their survival.
That's why Bai Yu had this question: this big-eyed tuna shouldn't be here, unless it was just passing by.
But if it just happens to pass by and gets caught by Bai Yu, then it's hard to say whether Bai Yu is lucky or the bigeye tuna is just unlucky.
In any case, after Bai Yu saw the bigeye tuna, he immediately told the staff member next to him to help him get the speargun.
We hadn't expected to catch tuna this time, so we hadn't prepared a speargun. Fortunately, there were staff members nearby who quickly brought it over.
Then, Bai Yu held a fishing rod in one hand and a harpoon in the other, controlling the creature's head while aiming the harpoon at the tuna's head.
With a 'whoosh', the harpoon shot out and hit the bigeye tuna's head precisely.
