Chapter 287 - 284: Success! The Top-Tier Big Fish Every Fisherman Dreams Of!
Even though Jiang Feng was very calm, the viewers in the live stream room were buzzing with excitement.
[Oh my, can a shark snatch prey?]
[I’m stunned, that’s so fierce!]
[Was the host just hitting the shark with a stick?]
[Reminds me of when he smacked a wild boar’s face with a shovel!]
[A true tough guy!]
The scene was so breathtaking earlier that it caused the viewers’ brains to lag a bit.
On the stormy sea surface, several sharks were feasting on the corpse of a sailfish that had just been reeled in.
Jiang Feng took a stick and tried to hit the sharks, but the sharks were purely focused on eating, ignoring him completely.
In the ocean, apart from whales and dolphins which are somewhat intelligent, most sea creatures don’t have much of a brain.
The same goes for sharks, they’re just brainless eating machines.
Jiang Feng sighed helplessly.
What else can he do?
He can only continue to search.
Jiang Feng instructed the crew to steer the ship farther away from this area.
Otherwise, they’d be snatched by sharks again.
The fishing boat continued to sail forward.
The waves grew increasingly larger.
Cold, icy rain slapped randomly against their faces.
Luckily, Jiang Feng was wearing a raincoat; as long as he kept his head down, it was fine.
He picked up the Whale Hunting Spear and continued to aim at the sea surface.
As the wind and waves intensified, many fish started to emerge from the sea.
But although the fish emerged, there were no particularly big ones.
Jiang Feng was poised, simply waiting patiently like a sculpture.
[The host really knows how to wait patiently!]
[He’s a pure outdoor master, a peak-level human!]
[Can he catch one?]
The boat swayed left and right.
Even the veteran fishermen on board were feeling a bit unstable.
Yet Jiang Feng stood at the stern, his feet firmly planted, unmoved by the ship’s wild pitching.
His eyes were like sharp blades, fixated on the sea surface.
Finding just one tuna is incredibly difficult.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, as soon as a big fish appears, he’d press the button on the Whale Hunting Spear.
"Success doesn’t come easy, a good hunter must be patient."
"In nature, many excellent predators are skilled at ambushing, and they can lie in wait for a long time."
"For example, tigers, lynxes, Mangalitsas, leopards, lions, all love to ambush!"
"Patience is fundamental for a hunter."
Feeling hungry, Jiang Feng took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and quickly finished it in a few bites.
He also took some time to say a few words to the viewers.
Then, he continued aiming at the sea surface.
All this happened in a very short time.
The reason is simple, Jiang Feng was afraid of being delayed too long, fearing the appearance of the so-called "timing hero."
The "timing hero" originally referred to a sniper in a shooting game who aims at a point for a long time, waiting for someone to appear. Then, just as the sniper thinks no one will come and switches to a pistol, the enemy appears and kills him.
In reality, there are many similar situations, like waiting for someone for an hour and they show up just as you step away to the bathroom.
Such things can be very frustrating.
Thankfully, during the moment he was eating chocolate, no big fish swam by.
The weather at sea is unpredictable.
One moment it’s clear, the next it’s a violent storm.
And in such windy and turbulent weather, the ship could easily capsize.
In fact, our fleet had one fishing boat capsize, and the yacht completed a rescue effort, saving three people on board.
The stronger the wind and waves, the more valuable the fish, but also, more dangerous.
The fishing boat peacefully drifted with the sea, with no engine running to avoid scaring the fish away with noise.
This continued for quite a while.
Every time viewers entered the live stream, they were shocked by the stormy sea.
Just then, Jiang Feng keenly spotted a wave churn up a splash in the sea not far away!
It’s here!
Jiang Feng’s eyes snapped to attention!
He forced himself to calm down quickly, his gaze tightly fixed on the turbulent sea surface.
The fish was extremely long, its fin projecting outside, forming a triangular shape.
It was faster than a shark, one of the fastest creatures in the ocean.
Tuna swim quickly throughout their lives, reaching speeds of up to 110 kilometers per hour, making them impossible for boats to catch.
This is why wild tuna are far more expensive than farmed tuna.
Farmed tuna, forget swimming all their lives, they rarely get to swim freely at all.
This is an ocean treasure, only the best hunters or carnivorous fish can catch wild tuna.
Even with so many tuna in the sea.
The viewers noticed this scene too.
[Woah! Look over there! What a massive fish!]
[I thought in cartoons tuna were barely bigger than a dog, but this is huge!]
[So terrifying!]
[That’s a million-dollar fish swimming! Who wouldn’t be excited to see that?]
The comments exploded instantly.
The storm raged, waves constantly rolled.
The splashing sea water had already drenched Jiang Feng completely.
Calmly and collected, Jiang Feng carefully aimed.
There was only one chance.
In the turbulent ocean, catching a fast-swimming sea fish with just a Whale Hunting Spear!
Even in a game, this is a top-level difficulty challenge.
And now, such difficulty is unfolding in real life!
Truly as hard as climbing to heaven!
In the downpour, Jiang Feng was like a statue.
Internet users were so terrified they hardly dared to breathe!
This opportunity is what every angler dreams of!
That wandering tuna is the true treasure of the ocean!
Jiang Feng is still waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity for a kill with one precise shot.
The internet users became more anxious, thinking even though the distance is far, the tuna is on the surface, why not fire now and catch it?
In fact, it’s completely impossible to catch it like this.
Jiang Feng is still waiting, the tuna is a hundred meters from the fishing boat, he needs it to be a bit closer.
Now, it all depends on fate.
At this moment, the tuna started moving closer to the fishing boat.
meters, 60 meters, 50 meters.
At 50 meters, Jiang Feng is thirty percent sure.
At 40 meters, Jiang Feng’s certainty boosts to sixty percent!
At this moment, the tuna swims back and forth, drawing arcs around the fishing boat.
When it turns to a distance of 40 meters from the stern, Jiang Feng knows it’s time to act!
He immediately pulls the trigger!
Bam!
In an instant, hundreds of pounds of gunshot straight towards the tuna.
Again, it plunges into the sea.
This earth-shattering sound echoes in the ears of the internet users.
[Caught it?]
Everyone’s gaze turns to the surface of the sea.
Jiang Feng is also uncertain.
At that moment, the steel cable of the Whale Hunting Spear suddenly begins to stretch tight and quickly plunges into the sea!
Caught it!
Jiang Feng’s expression changes, and he immediately starts to quickly retract the Whale Hunting Spear!
Swish!
The steel cable rubs against the stern, emitting a series of sounds.
The fishing boat begins to move backward at extreme speed.
"Start the engine, sail in the opposite direction!"
Jiang Feng shouts to the crew.
Hearing his words, the crew rushes to the cockpit, ready to sail.
But starting the boat takes a bit of time, during which the fishing boat is pulled into the sea by the tuna.
Everyone recalls the story of The Old Man and the Sea.
The old man battled fiercely against the big fish in the mighty ocean.
At this moment, Jiang Feng is experiencing the same.
The following process, although perilous, fortunately, didn’t face any further accidents.
The tuna struggled in the storm yet was eventually successfully hunted.
Jiang Feng begins quickly retracting the rope.
The crew also comes over to help.
This fish is too heavy, even with a pulley, it takes tremendous effort.
The steel frame emits a buzzing sound, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Finally, Jiang Feng pulls the tuna up from the sea bottom.
The tuna emerges from the water.
At first glance, everyone’s mind is filled with just one word:
Big!
What a massive fish!
This fish is over 4 meters long, much larger than a person.
This fishing boat is ten meters long, and the fish nearly occupies half of it!
The crew was stunned by the scene.
Once the fish is placed on the boat, Jiang Feng finally collapses, panting heavily.
The crew looks at this big fish, growing even more astonished.
Countless fish have been caught on this boat, amounting to millions, with each trip loaded with fish.
Yet never has there been such a big, such a precious fish.
Moreover, this tuna is the pinnacle of ocean edible economic fish!
The most expensive sea fish!
Coastal fishermen endlessly dream that their nets might snare such a tuna.
Whenever someone lucks into catching a tuna, it becomes the talk among fishermen.
But even so, never has a tuna been as big as the one Jiang Feng caught.
This tuna is undoubtedly a fish king!
"Oh my, you’ve hit the jackpot this time!"
The crew onboard was somewhat sour-faced.
Jiang Feng appears calm, merely waving his hand.
"Sail towards the cruise ship, it’s time to meet up."
The crew looks at the big fish again and then runs to the cabin to continue sailing.
The fish is 4 meters long, occupying half of the boat.
Jiang Feng lies next to it, leaning against the boat, looking smaller than the tuna.
Yet he successfully harvested such a big fish.
This ocean trip truly yielded great rewards.
The livestream exploded long ago.
[The host has struck it rich again!]
[So fierce! How is he so fierce!]
[Does the host recruit little brothers?]
[Can I steal his fish before he lands?]
[I’m jealous I can’t even eat!]
[Really worth a million? Why is making money so simple for the rich!]
The livestream room is so heated, the bullet comments are scrolling so fast they are hardly visible.
And at this moment, the rain over the sea begins to lessen.
The sea’s weather changes unpredictably, the heavy rain comes quickly, and leaves quickly too.
The rain gradually stops.
