118: Legends are not necessarily true

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Jun's gritting teeth expression, afraid that he couldn't hold on, and quickly said, "Brother Jun, why don't I take over?"

Zhang Jun paused and said, "Alright! You take over, and when the fish is on, give it to me!"

"Okay! The highlight moment must be yours, and I'll take pictures for you then. Hahahaha."

Yang Qi answered with a smile while taking over the fishing rod and shaking it left and right.

About half an hour later, the Sailfish was made dizzy and nauseous by Yang Qi.

"Damn it, this old trickster, I just wanted to jump up and shake off the thing that was hurting my mouth, and you just pulled me down."

"I just felt a little tired and wanted to rest, and you pulled me to run again."

"I run forward, you pull me back; I want to go left, you pull me right."

"I'm exhausted."

The big Sailfish was on the verge of collapse from the torment.

"Come on! Brother Jun, you take over for a bit! Let's end this battle early."

Yang Qi forcefully interrupted the big Sailfish's several bursts of power, feeling that the Sailfish was clearly a bit fatigued.

He handed the fishing rod to Zhang Jun, letting him finish the job.

Zhang Jun had rested for so long, and now he was fully recovered.

He also learned from Yang Qi, grabbed the fishing rod, first shook it for a while, and then braced the rod against his stomach, starting to reel in with force.

Yang Qi indeed took out his phone, took a few pictures for him, and recorded a video, even showing his face throughout.

The Sailfish, already at its last gasp, just wanted to make one last desperate push, but unexpectedly, after running less than 50 meters, the alternating left and right pulls completely deflated it. It truly didn't know where to exert its strength.

Zhang Jun seized the opportunity to quickly reel in the line, slowly pulling the Sailfish towards the side of the boat.

Before the large Sailfish could even surface, Yang Qi, who had been standing by recording the video, took a gaff hook gun, aimed at the Sailfish's head, and shot it forcefully.

"Splash" "Thud"

The large Sailfish underwater thrashed its head and tail, splashing water everywhere, and within a minute, it stopped moving.

Streams of fresh blood flowed from the wound on its head, staining the nearby seawater.

"Let's get it up first, to avoid any complications."

The two of them together used the crane to hoist the large Sailfish, which was over three meters long, onto the deck, and immediately bled it to remove lactic acid.

Yang Qi and Zhang Jun's two Sailfish were caught without any hitches, so to speak. There was no 'swording' situation as described in some fishing novels.

The Sailfish that Zhang Fei hooked, however, had a slight accident.

By the time the two moved to the forward deck where Zhang Fei was.

They saw Zhang Fei violently reeling in the line, while Bai Lang was constantly shaking his arms.

It seemed this kid had also had his fill. When he saw the two of them approaching, Bai Lang excitedly asked:

"Brother Jun's big Sailfish is also on board, right! Fei Ge's is almost there too."

"Oh my, brother-in-law, the big Sailfish is really strong, I almost couldn't hold it. But pulling in a big fish is so exhilarating!"

Everyone laughed at his words, "Young man, your internal strength isn't enough! You need to exercise more!"

Zhang Jun was in a very good mood now and joked with Bai Lang.

"Oh no! It's charging at us, quickly lie down!"

Suddenly, they heard Zhang Fei shout loudly. Immediately after, he inserted his fishing rod into the rod holder and directly prostrated himself.

The others quickly followed suit, lying prone on the deck, not daring to lift their heads.

"Damn it, is it trying to sword us?" Yang Qi thought to himself.

He didn't know the specific situation now, and didn't dare to lift his head, so he activated his golden finger to check.

Sure enough, a large Sailfish, with its sharp, long bill, was darting towards the setting sail like an arrow.

"Quick, quick, it's too dangerous, crawl back a bit, we're too close to the side of the boat."

"Quick, quick!"

The few people shouted, using their hands and feet to crawl towards the back of the deck.

"It's getting close, it's getting close to the fishing boat."

The others couldn't see the specific situation, only knew they were scared.

But Yang Qi was different! In his ability vision, a huge creature over three meters long, brandishing a long sword, was charging fiercely towards him, making his hair stand on end and his heart pound.

If he were to be struck by this big Sailfish's sword, his life might not even be saved.

It has to be said that the Sailfish's swimming speed is truly fast; in about a minute, the Sailfish charged near the setting sail.

"Everyone roll to the left." Yang Qi felt that the Sailfish was charging towards the right side of the fishing boat, so he loudly warned everyone.

After hearing this, without thinking, they instinctively rolled their bodies to the left.

"It's close, it's coming, it's here." Yang Qi observed the ability vision, watching the Sailfish rapidly approach the setting sail.

As the Sailfish and the fishing boat intersected, he subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for the sound of the collision.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds passed.

"Damn, what's going on? Why no sound?"

The expected 'swording' did not happen.

Yang Qi looked closely and realized that the large Sailfish had passed by the right side of the setting sail, not colliding with the fishing boat.

It was a false alarm. Yang Qi quickly got up, picked up the fishing rod, and rapidly reeled in the line.

He understood that leaving the line slack for too long could easily lead to the hook coming off.

So he stepped back, reeled in the line at the fastest speed, and re-tightened the fishing line.

The others also got up, patting their chests with lingering fear.

Zhang Fei said annoyingly, "This Sailfish is too cunning, it scared me, I almost fell for its trick."

Zhang Jun teased, "Didn't they say that Sailfish would sword fishing boats and people? It seems it's afraid of our numbers! If it dares to come on deck, we'll all beat it up."

"Exactly, exactly, I've read several fishing novels that all say Sailfish will jump up and stab people." Bai Lang chimed in from the side.

Yang Qi quickly reeled in the line; the Sailfish also seemed to have lost its previous strength, only able to be slowly pulled closer by the fishing line.

Seeing that there were no problems, Yang Qi handed the fishing rod back to Zhang Fei; the final glorious moment should belong to him.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, this Sailfish was pulled to the side of the boat by Zhang Fei. Yang Qi took a rope and looped it around its large tail, Zhang Jun started the crane, and together they hoisted the fish onto the deck.

Immediately after, it was bled to remove lactic acid.

This Sailfish was huge, even longer than the one Zhang Jun caught earlier, and slightly smaller than Yang Qi's, ranking second.

Everyone gathered around, their faces full of excitement.

"This fish truly wasn't easy to catch! We almost got 'sworded'." Bai Lang exclaimed.

"Yes, this deep-sea fishing trip was too exciting. Such a big Sailfish is enough for me to brag about for a few years, it's so exhilarating, hahahaha!" Zhang Fei also followed up.

The few people looked at the three large Sailfish on the deck, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment. They all gathered around the three large Sailfish, smoking cigarettes.

"Pictures, pictures, we must take pictures!" Bai Lang shouted loudly.
