The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish

Then everyone saw a dark shadow flying up.

A... to be exact, a whale, was pulled up from the sea, flying straight towards the boat.

It really took off.

The group watching such a massive body being pulled into the air all had their eyes wide open, a little disbelieving.

My god.

How much strength does it take.

To pull such a big fish out of the sea and make it fly.

If you say it was a fish that weighed a dozen or so pounds, pulling it up directly wouldn't surprise anyone.

But this size... you can tell it's hundreds of pounds, and it's been pulled up into the air.

How strong must you be?

This big thing can be pulled out of the sea, even by flying.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded, their brains went haywire.

This scene was too shocking for them.

And that 'fish' that was fished into the air, also never expected to have a moment of being fished into the sky.

"Little Whale, I can fly now~"

As a juvenile whale, this was the first time in its whale life to have such an experience.

Yes, the fish Fang Hao caught was actually a whale, and specifically, a juvenile baleen whale.

The whale had a short and thick body, a small head, a frontal shape that was an isosceles triangle, the back and sides a dark grey with a hint of light blue, and the belly and the underside of the tail fin were white.

However, it was also fortunate that it was a juvenile baleen whale, if it were an adult... the boat probably wouldn't have had enough space.

An adult baleen whale can grow to nine meters in length and weigh up to thirteen tons!

But this juvenile baleen whale was just a little over two meters in length, at most a few hundred pounds, not even a ton.

The difference is indeed not small.

Then with a 'duang', it fell onto the deck of the boat.

The immense force of the impact made the boat vibrate, swaying left and right.

This was just the body of a juvenile a few hundred pounds heavy, if it were an adult... the boat would probably capsize, or be snapped in half.

Xiao Pang on the boat, and others like Desert, were all so scared they grabbed hold of the sides of the boat, to not accidentally fall into the sea.

"Is the boat going to fall apart..."

Xiao Pang started to worry.

This thing is too heavy.

They were all scared just now, never expecting Fang Hao to be able to fish up such a big fish.

With something so heavy, how much strength must it take to do this?

Everyone was completely stunned.

They were all shocked by Fang Hao's strength.

That's too awesome.

"Thankfully... it should still be able to withstand it," Desert also recovered his wits, exhaling a breath.

He too had been sweating over the safety of the boat just now.

Fortunately, the fish wasn't too big, and it could just about hold up.

If it were a bit larger, several tons perhaps... it might not be able to withstand it.

It was only then that people had the time and mood to notice the thing that was fished up.

"What is this?"

"A shark?"

Xiao Pang didn't recognize this thing, thinking it looked a bit like a shark.

"It's not a shark, it's a whale!"

But soon, Desert provided the correct identification.

"And it's a juvenile whale."

Desert had seen whales before, so he knew what was hauled up this time.

"A whale!"

"My god... even as a juvenile it's this big."

Once Desert's words were out, the rest of the people on the scene were astonished.

Including a bunch of people in the live broadcast room who were also stunned.

They didn't expect Fang Hao to fish up a whale this time.

No wonder it was so big.

But according to Desert, this was still just a juvenile whale... my god, even a juvenile whale is this big, let alone when it's fully grown.

For an adult whale, their boat wouldn't even be big enough.

"This whale is too big..."

"I've never seen a whale fished up before."

"But what shocks me more is that such a large whale is still just a juvenile..."

"That's just a small one, even as an adult it's only about ten tons. It is said that the largest whale, the blue whale, can be over thirty meters long and weigh more than one hundred and eighty tons, that's the real terror."

"Ah... that's huge!"

"Holy shit, the host is so badass, this time he actually fished up a whale!!!"

"Do you guys think that 'Sunny Days' will invite the host to go whale fishing in the future?"

"Pfft, even if they asked, the host definitely wouldn't go."

"Ugh, it's over, this time the host is going to show off big time. After catching such a big whale, the host can finally flaunt it."

"Yeah, the host caught a fish, and future livestreams will be boring. Life is bleak."

"Why didn't he fish up a plane instead???"

"Sigh... I too wish the host would fish up a plane."

"Now that the host has caught a fish, are we still gonna watch his livestreams?"

"Grandpa is done with this."

"I'm out, not watching this anymore."

"Wait a minute, guys, this whale isn't a fish, it's a mammal. So, to be precise, the host still hasn't caught a fish!"

While a bunch of viewers were lamenting Fang Hao catching fish, suddenly, a comment broke the noisy chatter.

In an instant, the chat room went quiet for a few seconds.

What?

Whales are not fish?

Does that mean... Fang Hao didn't catch a fish after all?

"Haha... are you sure it's not a fish?"

"Are whales really not fish?"

"Definitely not fish, where did you guys go during biology class, this is a mammal, just like humans, we're all mammals!"

"It's like how wife cakes don't actually contain a wife, just because the word 'whale' has 'fish' in it doesn't mean it really is a fish."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Sob sob, I'm so happy."

"I was nearly scared to death just now, thought the host actually caught a fish, but he only fished up a mammal."

Everyone's expressions changed as if they had learned face-changing.

They went from dismal to sunny in an instant, showing delight.

Now they could add this to their post-dinner conversations.

...

"Haha, now let's see if you accept this."

"How about that, this fish is big enough, right!"

"I might set a record with this several-hundred-pound fish I caught."

After fishing up the whale, Fang Hao was elated, ready to show off to the trolls in the livestream.

Such a big fish, he truly felt triumphant this time.

Look.

He had been holding in for so long, even the heavens couldn't stand it, letting him catch such a big fish.

But when he saw what the crowd in the chat was saying, his face froze instantly.

Whales are mammals, not fish?

Wait a minute.

Fang Hao immediately checked with Mechanical Eye.

[Juvenile Small Baleen Whale]

[Mammal, not fish…]

It was true!

The information displayed on Mechanical Eye also indicated it was not a fish.

The words "not a fish" were especially striking.

His composure was completely shattered now.

Not a fish...

Wasn't this a wasted effort and a wasted joy for him?

It's like on your wedding night, in order to spice things up, you took some meds for enhancement, but just as you're about to break through the last barrier, the bride tells you she just got her period and a mouth ulcer.

Damn, what's the point of playing along anymore?

This blow was harder than not catching a fish at all.

What the hell!

Why couldn't it have been a shark?

Fang Hao would rather have caught a shark at this point, not a whale.

Just one character difference, but... one is a fish, the other is not.

That's the biggest difference.

If it had been a shark, the one boasting triumphantly now would have been him.

But it was a whale... he became the laughing stock once again.

It's as if the heavens are purposely messing with him.

When will his cursed luck turn around?

Will he ever truly catch a fish?

"That was close, that was close, he almost pulled off a big stunt."

"Luckily, the whale is not a fish, it's a mammal."

"Almost let the host achieve a breakthrough from zero."

"As long as the host doesn't catch fish, we can continue to play happily."

"Hehe, seems like the host's performance is still as consistently stable as ever."

A bunch of viewers are overjoyed.

Seeing Fang Hao come up empty handed, not having caught a fish, they were delighted.
