673. Fish attack (2/5)
Sockeye salmon is an important cash crop in American fishing, and the government has strong protection for it.
Fishing sockeye salmon on the Colorado River is an activity that anglers are very enthusiastic about, but the fishery department has stipulated that each person can only fish at most ten fish during the sockeye salmon migration season.
In addition, fishing for sockeye salmon requires a fishing license. The fish caught have length and weight requirements. Fish less than 1.5 kilograms cannot be caught. The purpose is to protect the breeding of sockeye salmon.
Hans has a fishing license. This time he came to Horseshoe Town, they had planned to catch sockeye salmon, so he put on his fishing license and hung it on his chest to participate in fishing.
There were many people sitting on the shore, and from time to time, big red fish were caught.
As the name shows, the surface of the sockeye salmon is bright red. If it is not in the river berth but in the stream, you will see a beautiful scene of fish migration.
Hans found a place with few people and waved, "Li, come here, let's fish here."
Li Du shook his head: "It's not possible by the river. These places have been caught thousands of times. No matter how stupid the sockeye salmon are, they will not easily take the bait here."
There is a small pier in the river bay, with some small boats tied there, and his eyes are on the boat to prepare for fishing.
"It's a pity that our fishing machine has been sold, otherwise it would be great to use a fishing machine here to fish." Hans shook his head regretfully and said.
Li Du said: "It's okay to have a boat that can be used. Let's go, rent a boat and go deep into the river and fish."
There are two types of fishing boats docked at the pier. One is a small wooden boat, which is a bit like a sampan used by fishermen in southern China, and the other is a fishing boat, with its shell made of steel, aluminum or special plastic.
Li Du thought these fishing boats were toys of wealthy people. They usually park here and occasionally come for vacation and fishing, and do not rent them out.
As a result, Hans went to ask and he guessed half of the fishing boats. These fishing boats are indeed rich, but they can also be rented. The rental fee is used to maintain the fishing boats.
Li Du chose the wooden boat, and they only had five adults and two children. The load capacity of this wooden boat is fine.
The rental fee for a wooden boat is 200 yuan and can be used for one day.
Hans handed over two hundred yuan, and they took the fishing gear, oven and clean water onto the boat, pulled the outboard machine tied to the stern, and drove out in a buzzing manner.
The outboard hanger rotated rapidly, slapped the water splashing around, alarming the relatively quiet water bay.
Li Du stood on the bow and pedaled the boat, facing the wet lake breeze, and a sense of heroism couldn't help but appear in his heart.
He was thinking about what poem to respond to the situation in his heart. He hadn't thought of the poem yet. At this time, a big fish suddenly jumped out of the water...
The big fish soared into the air, and the scales on its body shone with dazzling light in the sun. It was nearly one meter long, with a round and thick body, and its tail was like a small fan. It slapped in the air and slapped Li Du's face.
"Ah!" Mr. Li screamed, feeling the darkness in front of him, and he fell into the river.
‘Pubo’, Brother Wolf jumped down quickly, grabbed Li Du’s collar and pulled him up again.
Godzilla and Dao came to help, Aao and Gannun also bit his clothes with their teeth and worked together to drag him onto the boat.
Ah Meow didn't participate. It stared at her in front of her with wide eyes, her little mouth opened, and her furry fat face was full of shock.
What did you see just now? What did you see? What did you see?
A fish! A big fish! A big fish jumped up! A big fish jumped up and landed on the boat itself!
Ah Miao felt unbelievable, why was he so lucky? The food automatically jumped in front of him. What does this mean?
The big fish slapped Li Du with its tail and landed on the boat. It was jumping hard, and the big tail slapped the wooden boat hard, shaking the hull.
Li Du covered her hot cheeks and shouted: "Among, fuck it to death!"
Hearing his order, Ah Meow immediately became energetic. It jumped towards the big fish and shouted excitedly: "Meow!"
The fish must be at least thirty kilograms. Ah Miao jumped up and couldn't hold it down. The big fish struggled, but almost slapped it into the water again.
Brother Wolf was impatient and said to the two little girls: "Cover your eyes."
Ivana obediently covered her eyes with her little hands, and Victoria also covered her, but her fingers were separated and she looked at them curiously.
Brother Wolf took out his sabre and inserted it into the back of the fish head. The big fish jumped around immediately started to take a look.
Li Du wiped his face and finally felt that his cheeks were not so painful.
Godzilla rubbed his hands and said, "What a big fish, just roast it?"
Dao shook his head decisively: "No, no, this is an Asian carp, you can't eat it, the heavy metal content in your body exceeds the standard, so you'd better throw it away."
Hans sighed: "Has Asian carp entered the central part of the Colorado River?"
Asian carp disasters are raging the inland rivers and lakes of the United States. They have strong adaptability, strong reproduction, strong survivability, and strong predation, which seriously damages local freshwater resources.
In addition, they also pose a threat to river security.
For example, just now, the operation of the outboard trolley alarmed the fish. Asian carp had the habit of being frightened and jumped out of the water. This might hurt people on the water, and Li Du was photographed.
This species invasion has become known throughout the United States and even around the world. The US government, which uses aliens as its imaginary enemy, has no choice but to these fish.
The main thing that cannot be solved is that these fish have no edible value.
The main invasion areas of Asian carp, such as the Great Lakes and the Colorado River, were sewage discharge areas in surrounding cities during the American Industrial Revolution.
Although the problem of odor and black water has disappeared after treatment, the heavy metals and toxic chemicals that sink to the bottom of the lake and dissolve into the water have not been removed.
Asian carp contain these things, so the government does not encourage people to eat these fish.
Sockeye salmon, by contrast, don't eat after entering the freshwater basin.
Brother Wolf was carrying a big fish by the side of the boat, cut the fish into several pieces and threw it into the water.
Seeing this, Ah Meow was anxious, waving her little paws and jumping over, roaring angrily: "Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow!"
Li Du waved and said, "Stop showing off, this fish cannot be eaten. Come here, let's fish ourselves and catch delicious fish."
Ah Miao was unwilling to give up. Such a big fish, such a big fish! How many meals can you eat!
Hans and others prepared the fishing gear, threw out the hooks, waiting for the sockeye salmon to take the bait.
Li Du was slapped and was quite serious. His face was still hot and numb.
Only men have thick cervical spine and thick skin. If they are replaced by a girl like Victoria or Ivana, if they are beaten like this by fish tail, they may break their necks!
