Japanese Whalers Catch Baakjira Off The Coast Of Tokyo.

Japanese Whalers rejoiced yesterday after landing another whale. But not just any whale. They landed one of Splinterlands prize assets. The legendary monster fish "Baakjira". So how did these mere humans land the Splinterlands legendary goliath from the Water Splinter.

"It was easy really." said a Japanese fisherman.
"We just did a Jaws job on him and kept harpooning him and yellow barrels would take off from the boat to slow the giant fish down."
"We are humans so we have no magic so we just harpooned it instead. Kinda like a fire splinter jobby."
"The barrels kept rolling out."
"I think it took 53 bloody barrels in the end before he came up."

"It performed a magic spell on us that slowed us right down. I could travel around an inch per ten minutes."

"It made us all like statues on the boat."
"It was hilarious really because Li Chin was mid fall after being hit by a fin so it took him an hour to hit the ground."
"We were all laughing but in very slow motion."
"12 hours later this slow spell wore off."
"We were starving so we had a bite to eat and went back after him."
"After a couple of days the barrels tired him out so it was just a case of getting him back to land."
"He gave us a couple of more Slow spells but he had no teeth so he couldn't really harm us."
"He was a puppy dog really with no attack power so it's just a case of hanging in there."
"One of the easiest whales we ever caught since Free Willy with the exception of that dam slow spell."

However when back on land the Japanese Whalers were hit with a disappointing realization that Baakjira wasn't worth that much.

"Normally we get around 50k for a whale with the oil/ meat / blubber or what not."
"We were only offered $9.10 for this guy from @captainquack22 who is trying to build a nice gold water deck."
"Apparently you can get $117 for a gold one but this one was blue unfortunately."
"Which meant we spent 2-3 days being turned to statues trying to get this guy and all we get is $9.10."
"Sure that can bearly feed one of us for a day never mind a crew of 10 fishermen with young families."
"People are telling us to hold onto him because he will get more expensive down the line so I think this is the way we are going to do it."
"However there was nearly a mutiny after I told the crew."
"Most of them were still on SLOW so they couldn't really hit me so I would like to thank Baakjira for this."

"After the crew came back to normal we discussed the issue and decided we may as well throw Baakjira back in as we would be keeping feck all money for it."
"We took a photo with the big fish and we cut him loose and threw him back in."

"While he was heading out of the bay, he hit us all with another SLOW spell so we were stuck in the docks for another 12 hours."
"The Cheeky bastard."
"It was annoying but funny in the end. A final goodbye from our gummy whale."
"He was a clever old thing."
"I hope he does well in Splinterlands."
