Li Wei felt the large fish at the bottom of the sea struggling less and less, and shouted loudly:
"Someone, help me tie my belt."
Jessica was the first to react, and quickly grabbed a fighting belt with a butt pad to help Li Wei tie it on.
With the butt pad as a fulcrum, Li Wei began to try to lift the rod and reel in the line. As soon as he moved, the large fish in the water struggled more violently, and the suddenly increased pulling force made the rod bend even more, making people worry that the rod would break in the next moment.
While Li Wei was wrestling with the large fish, Buck and the others were not idle. They quickly reeled in all the fishing lines onto the deck to prevent them from getting tangled during the struggle.
The deck became Li Wei's stage.
As time passed, more than half an hour quickly went by. Fine beads of sweat also seeped from Li Wei's forehead, and the large fish at the bottom of the sea was gradually struggling less.
Li Wei seized this opportunity and quickly reeled in the fishing line. The fish felt the pain and began to struggle violently again.
The two sides went back and forth like this. If you lift the rod and reel in the line, I will struggle violently. If you struggle violently, I will wrestle with you. It was as if both sides were saying, let's see who can outlast the other today.
This scene made Jim and the other person's hearts itch. What did they come out for this trip? Wasn't it to catch big...shy shy, wasn't it for the sea trial? Fishing was just a side activity.
Finally, Jim couldn't help but speak.
"Boss, can I give it a try too?"
"OK, but you have to be prepared first. This big guy underwater is definitely a giant."
Li Wei said without looking back.
Although he didn't use the detection system to check, based on the force transmitted through the fishing rod, he could tell that this fish was definitely extraordinary, likely a deep-sea giant.
Jim patted his biceps,
and said with a face full of confidence:
"Boss, I'm ready."
Seeing how confident Jim was, Li Wei handed the fishing rod in his hand to the other party.
Jim, who took the fishing rod, still overestimated himself and underestimated the big guy underwater.
He was directly pulled into a stumble by the immense force. If Li Wei hadn't supported him from the side, he might have been pulled into the sea.
Seeing Jim in such a sorry state, Jack quickly suggested:
"Jim, if you can't do it, let me take over and show you what a real man is."
"Jack, you can't say I can't do it!"
"Ah..."
After Jim finished speaking, he let out a loud roar and then began to pull the rod and reel in the line with all his might. The veins on his neck bulged out due to the excessive force, looking very frightening.
Jim's burst of power directly reeled in five meters of fishing line.
As everyone knows, after a sudden burst of energy, men will have a period of 'sage time'. Jim is facing this situation now, feeling somewhat powerless to continue.
"Jack, I can't do it anymore, quickly take over for me."
Jack had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Seeing that Jim was almost at his limit, he quickly took the fishing rod from Jim's hand.
Jim, who was completely relaxed, fell heavily onto the deck. His hands were trembling uncontrollably because he had used too much force just now. It took him a while to recover before he spoke:
"Boss, you are a monster."
"Jim, I'll take that as a compliment."
At this moment, Jim's gaze towards Li Wei became respectful.
If he had initially just regarded Li Wei as a peer from a good background, now he truly regarded Li Wei as the Captain of the Sea Monster.
In fact, it wasn't just Jim who had this idea; Jack, who was currently wrestling with the giant fish, had the same thought in his heart.
Making a living at sea ultimately depends on strength.
Your ability to catch fish is one aspect, and your personal combat strength is another.
The perfect Captain in their hearts is someone who can catch fish, is strong in combat, and preferably can drink well.
However, Jack didn't have time to think too much at this moment. Ever since he took the fishing rod, he knew that the fish underwater was definitely not ordinary, likely one of the largest fish he had ever caught in his life.
Jack also displayed his professional qualities. After taking the fishing rod, while wrestling with the large fish, he seized every opportunity to reel in the line. His speed was much faster than Jim's, by more than just a little bit.
After continuously reeling in more than ten meters of fishing line, Jack's movements on his hands obviously slowed down a lot.
Buck, who hadn't said much, said to Jack:
"Jack, let me try too."
Buck, who was the strength in charge of the Sea Monster, was also interested in this big guy.
And there was another important reason, which was to avenge his sister. He hadn't forgotten that this large fish almost pulled Jessica into the sea.
Jack naturally wouldn't refuse Buck.
Although he believed he could pull this large fish up, it would take a very long time.
So he directly handed the fishing rod to Buck.
Buck lived up to his reputation as the strength in charge of the Sea Monster. He lifted and released the rod effortlessly, and the fishing line was being reeled in quickly into the drum, more than twice as fast as before.
"My god, I see it!"
Jessica exclaimed, pointing continuously towards the sea.
Following the direction of Jessica's finger, Li Wei and the others could vaguely see a black shadow struggling violently in the sea.
"It's a Pacific halibut. Such a large Halibut is rare even on ocean-going fishing vessels. I didn't expect there to be such a large Halibut here in Whale Horn Bay."
Jack, being the oldest fisherman among them, recognized the identity of this black shadow at a glance.
This was a Pacific halibut over two meters long, likely weighing over 100 kilograms.
Li Wei suddenly thought of the videos he had watched in his previous life,
and turned to Buck and said:
"Buck, I brought a handgun. Do you want Jessica to personally net the Halibut?"
Buck knew what Li Wei meant immediately. He had often used the "American style net" before, and directly nodded in agreement.
The others showed no surprise when they heard that Li Wei had brought a handgun.
In Alaska, who goes out without a gun? They also guessed what Li Wei was planning to do and couldn't help but show knowing smiles. Everyone who had used the "American style net" said it was good.
At this moment, only Jessica was completely confused, not knowing what Li Wei and the others were talking about.
Not long after, Li Wei ran back and handed the Glock 17 in his hand to Jessica.
"Jessica, this fish will be yours later!"
Jessica now knew what they had been talking about. Thinking of how she had almost been pulled into the sea just now, she nodded seriously and said:
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Jessica took the handgun and skillfully inserted the magazine.
As Buck continued to reel in the line, the giant Halibut finally surfaced. Its struggle frequency became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped struggling completely, floating motionless on the sea surface.
However, everyone knew that it was recovering its strength.
Buck pulled the Halibut's head to the side of the boat. Jessica, who had already prepared the net, held the handgun with both hands, aimed at the Halibut's head, and directly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, the Halibut, which had stopped struggling, began to struggle violently after being shot in the head.
What the Halibut didn't know was that the more it struggled, the closer it was to death.
After being hit by three bullets, the giant Halibut completely stopped struggling and floated quietly on the sea surface.
Unlike before, it was truly dead this time.
Jim and Jack used special hooks and worked together to pull the Halibut onto the deck.
Jim found a digital camera from somewhere and asked Jack to take a photo for him.
Just as everyone was vying to take a photo with the Halibut, they suddenly heard a peculiar sound.
Buck and the others looked around but saw nothing. Just when they thought it was a hallucination, a huge figure leaped out of the sea and then heavily slammed onto the sea surface, creating a huge splash.
"It's an Orca!"
Everyone was excited to see this scene.
Before they could fully react, one Orca after another leaped out of the sea and then slammed down with a roar. The scene was very spectacular.
Li Wei roughly counted, and there were as many as fifteen.
Jessica asked curiously:
"What are the Orca pod doing?"
"They are hunting."
Before Li Wei's words fell, they saw a black dot being whipped into the sky by an Orca's tail, reaching a height of seven or eight meters.
Due to the considerable distance between the two sides, everyone did not know what the Orca had slapped away.
However, Li Wei was not among them.
