"Brother Yu, did you hear anything? Was that thunder?"
"Why is there thunder? If there were thunder, we should be able to see lightning too."
"What else could that be but thunder? Did something hit the sea?"
"Who knows? It was such a loud bang, it certainly wasn't thunder."
"Brother Fisherman, do you think it might be the big fish you caught? This thing is unwilling to be caught and has started to fight like a trapped beast?"
Bai Yu and his companions each had their own guesses about the loud noise coming from the sea.
It's just that it's nighttime, and it's already past midnight, so the visibility on the sea is extremely low.
The fishing boat does have lights, but these lights are only for illuminating the boat and preventing other boats from ramming it. If you want to see what's happening on the sea in front of you, sorry, the brightness is too low.
"Stop guessing. Whatever it is, it shouldn't have much to do with us."
"This is the best fish I caught. Let's work harder to catch it. Otherwise, we won't get anything out of it, so let's just pretend we didn't see it."
While Bai Yu was saying these words, his hands didn't stop moving; he was vigorously reeling in the fishing line.
Although he said he didn't care about anything, he didn't really think so. He still hoped that the commotion was caused by the fish he had caught.
After all, just by listening to that sound, you can tell that the fish that took the bait this time must be a huge creature, and it would be even better if it were a tuna.
Another ten minutes or so passed, and the big fish that had taken the bait seemed to foresee its imminent demise, and it began to make its final struggle.
For the next ten minutes or so, Bai Yu and his two companions took turns putting immense pressure on the creature, determined not to let it pull the fishing line away again!
With the combined efforts of the four of them, the already dwindling fishing line gradually disappeared, and soon, with the help of the lighting, they spotted a huge figure.
"Brother Yu, I see it! I see it! It's a huge bluefin tuna! It's a bluefin tuna!"
"Brother Fisherman, we're going to strike it rich! This bluefin tuna is huge! I've never seen such a big bluefin tuna before!"
Soon, Bai Yu heard Li Shuang's exclamation. The guy shouted loudly, and he seemed extremely excited.
"Never seen such a big tuna before? That can't be right, Shuangzi. Is it because of the refraction of the seawater that you're seeing things? You've seen bluefin tuna weighing over 500 pounds before, and this thing is even bigger than that?"
Hearing Li Shuang's exclamation, Bai Yu also wanted to get excited, but he knew it wasn't the right time yet, and he had to calm down.
Especially since it's nighttime now, and the big fish is in the water, what if Li Shuang is mistaken? What if the fish is a bluefin tuna, but not as big as he described?
It would be bad if we were disappointed, so let's stay calm and see how things go.
"Brother Yu, you can't be wrong, it's a bluefin tuna, and it's bigger than any tuna I've ever seen before. It has nothing to do with the refraction of seawater, this guy must be at least three meters long!"
It's absolutely a behemoth among tuna; this guy is just too big!
"Brother Yu, I need to talk to you about something!"
Faced with Bai Yu's doubts, Li Shuang replied with even greater certainty that this was an extraordinary bluefin tuna!
Then he came over with a sly grin, trying to discuss something with Bai Yu.
"Just tell me what you need. I'll definitely agree to what I can, but if I can't, don't blame me for being heartless."
"Brother Fisherman, you can definitely help me with this. It'll only take a little while. Leave the last bit of distance to me. Let me fish it up. You don't have to do it yourself, okay?"
Just as Bai Yu had thought, Li Shuang wanted to catch the big fish himself.
After all, catching a giant fish is every angler's dream, and the bigger the fish they catch, the longer they can brag about it.
Take this tuna for example. If it really is a three-meter-long tuna, as Li Shuang said, and it's bluefin tuna, then...
That bluefin tuna must weigh at least six or seven hundred pounds, maybe even eight or nine hundred pounds, or a thousand pounds.
This is an absolutely huge fish among tuna, a very rare and exquisite specimen.
Even professional tuna anglers will only see tuna of this size a few times in their lifetime.
Therefore, Li Shuang's request was reasonable. Although Bai Yu caught the fish, he was the one who handled it at the last moment, so Li Shuang was content.
Just as Li Shuang finished speaking, Lu Sheng also stepped forward.
"Brother Yu, I don't think it's a good idea to kill the fish yourself. How about I do it for you, so that your men won't suffer any more wronged souls? What do you think?"
? ? ?
One was in charge of fishing, and the other was in charge of firing the final shot. Li Shuang and Lu Sheng had arranged everything perfectly for this tuna. Finally, with him and Wang Hai catching the tuna, everything was settled.
"Alright, alright, considering you've both worked so hard, if you want to do it, then go ahead and do it."
But before that, I must warn you both: be careful not to let this tuna escape at the last minute, or I won't let you get away with it.
Bai Yu thought about it and finally agreed to Li Shuang and Lu Sheng's request.
After all, they both work very hard, and they are also busy with company matters, so they don't have much time to go fishing at sea.
Unlike Bai Yu and Wang Hai, who could go out to sea to fish whenever they had free time, there were no restrictions whatsoever.
"Don't worry, it's just a small tuna. We two can handle it with ease. Just you wait and see."
Then Li Shuang took the fishing rod from Bai Yu and struggled to drag the guy towards the shore.
Meanwhile, Lu Sheng was ready with his harpoon, waiting for the tuna to come close to the boat so he could deliver the fatal blow.
Soon, thanks to Li Shuang's efforts, the tuna also came to the surface of the sea. This time, not only was Li Shuang certain that it was a huge bluefin tuna, but Bai Yu and the others were also certain.
This thing is really big. The bluefin tuna that Bai Yu caught before looked like a child next to it.
Bai Yu even had a feeling that the entire group of Haida F4, all four of them combined, might not be as big as this bluefin tuna. It was just too big and very fat, round and plump, like a giant cannonball.
Calling this bluefin tuna a gas cylinder is an understatement; a gas cylinder is too small. This bluefin tuna is at least three meters tall, much, much larger than a gas cylinder.
With a 'whoosh', Lu Sheng fired his harpoon, which accurately struck the tuna's head.
That's true. This tuna is a full three meters long. Not only is its body quite large, but its head is also enormous.
If Lu Sheng can't even aim accurately with such a big head, then he really should get his eyes checked.
As the speargun was fired, Lu Sheng and Li Shuang dodged at the same time, with Li Shuang even loosening his grip on the reel handle with his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, a series of splashing sounds came from the sea, and water splashed everywhere, directly onto the deck.
This was the bluefin tuna's final desperate attempt. The reason Li Shuang released his grip on the reel was because the fish's dying struggle was incredibly powerful and exaggerated.
If Li Shuang makes a careless move and still chooses to fight back, it's possible that the guy will break the fishing line.
If that happens, then it's truly a case of the duck that was almost in our mouth flying away.
So to avoid this situation, Li Shuang simply let go of his hand and let the guy struggle. The guy was about to die, so what trouble could he cause by struggling?
Indeed, that was the case. After Lu Sheng caught the bluefin tuna, his last struggle lasted less than a minute before the sea returned to calm.
Next, it was time for Bai Yu and Wang Hai to get to work.
However, their initial idea was that he and Wang Hai could work together to get the tuna onto the crane.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. It was the same problem that Bai Yu and his friends both loved and hated: the tuna was just too big.
Even for Bai Yu and his team, lifting this tuna was no easy task; it was certainly beyond their capabilities.
Finally, with Li Shuang's help, he used the fishing rod to control the tuna and prevent it from drifting with the current. Lu Sheng controlled the crane on the deck and handed the crane rope to Bai Yu and Wang Hai.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai, meanwhile, used the soft material along the side of the fishing boat to descend step by step to the vicinity of the tuna, and painstakingly hooked the crane's rope onto the tuna's tail.
This thing is just too big; they simply can't get the rope on without getting down on it.
Once Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to the deck, Lu Sheng started the crane, attempting to lift the bluefin tuna up.
As the winch on the crane started to turn, the crane made a creaking sound, and the tuna was being pulled up headfirst and tailfirst.
Never before had Bai Yu felt that fishing for tuna with a crane was a dangerous thing. This time, the crane made Bai Yu break out in a cold sweat when it caught this tuna.
It wasn't that Bai Yu was a coward, but when the crane started working and the tuna left the water, their fishing boat started to rock noticeably.
Moreover, the swaying wasn't just minor; the entire ship tilted slightly, which was quite exaggerated.
Keep in mind that they are at sea. If the ship tilts to a certain degree, it could capsize, and the consequences would be something they cannot afford.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Snake's fishing boat was big enough, 16.6 meters long, and its own tonnage was not light. It was not something that this one tuna could overturn.
As the tuna was hoisted into the air, Bai Yu and the others truly witnessed what a gigantic creature looked like.
Once it arrived on the deck, Li Shuang, Lu Sheng, and Wang Hai all rushed over and surrounded it, each taking up a good spot to take a group photo with this big guy.
"Brother Yu, come quick, let's take a group photo with this guy, the four of us, riding it while we take the picture."
Soon, Bai Yu was also drawn into the group and took a photo with the tuna.
As for how to prepare the tuna, Bai Yu simply removed all its blood and internal organs, leaving nothing behind.
The main concern was that if the tuna's internal organs weren't removed, the meat might become contaminated with the blood remaining inside, which would be a real waste.
In Bai Yu's opinion, even if they don't get a good ranking or a high prize in this competition, they can still make a lot of money just from this tuna.
Moreover, given the size of this tuna, it is definitely a contender for the title of King of Fish, which is worth half a million US dollars!
