Half an hour had passed, and the big fish Lin Yang had been fighting was finally pulled up to the fishing boat, its strength nearly depleted.
By the looks of it, it was a Bluefin Tuna!
The crew on board immediately went over to secure and hoist the fish from the water.
Looking at the suspended Big Bluefin, Lin Yang estimated that this must be the second-largest Bluefin Tuna he had caught.
The fish, freshly pulled from the sea, thrashed a few times, causing the numbers on the weighing scale to fluctuate before they finally stabilized.
788 pounds!
Lin Yang seized the opportunity to join in, asking the photographer aboard to take a few photos with him.
After weighing, the big fish was released back into the sea, and Lin Yang continued fishing.
By now, more than half of the six-hour competition on the first day had passed!
And the leaderboard on the screen, after the recorder input the figures, changed once again.
