Chapter 141: The RCMP

"Hand me the copy next to you, this fish is not small." Hong Tao has collected a lot of lines, the fish below have little strength to struggle, it is estimated that with the decrease in water depth, the water temperature is dropping sharply, like the fish this ectothermic animal, with the change of the outside temperature, its own body function will also change, too low temperature will make it lose its ability to move, commonly known as cold-blooded animals.

"Ah, come on! Come on! Let's see, what kind of fish is this, and whether you can catch it. After Zhou Xiaoli saw that the fish in the water were copied by Hong Tao, she excitedly picked up the material and rummaged through it while looking at the fish on the ground.

The fish in the net is still struggling slightly, its whole body is yellow, the pectoral fin and pelvic fin are a little red, and it looks very similar to the yellow croaker we eat in China, but on both sides of its body, there are a few black vertical stripes.

"It should be this, it looks like, yellow perch, you can fish all year round, you can take 20 per person, and you need more than 30 centimeters." Zhou Xiaoli pointed to a picture on the material for Hong Tao to see.

"Cheng, let the fishing be done, take that ruler, I measure, 38 centimeters, okay, this is the first fish we harvested, come, a ...... mouth" Hong Tao happily took off the hook, and then threw it directly out of the door, let it be frozen on the snow to keep it fresh.

"Again, you take the book and help me see what kind of fish it is, come up...... Come up ...... "After a few minutes, Hong Tao's fishing rod was pulled again, this time it was a big guy who came up, and it was a little hard to shake the reel, and the fishing rod was too soft, and it took more than ten minutes to pull it to the water.

"This is ......" Zhou Xiaoli became a professional controllator, and began to flip through the book again.

"It's done, don't turn it over, I know this thing, isn't it a carp, you see, I haven't even shaved my beard." Hong Tao clasped the fish's mouth with his fingers and lifted it up directly, this fish weighs almost 5 catties, and it looks similar to the domestic carp, especially the 2 meat mustaches on the mouth, which makes it directly exposed its identity.

"Asian carp, you can catch it all year round, there is no daily limit, there is no size requirement, but it looks different from your fish." Zhou Xiaoli found the picture of carp in the book, and compared it with the fish Hong Tao, which was obviously different.

"It's not a carp, isn't this a grass carp? Why is it called carp? Hong Tao was also confused, the picture was clearly painted with grass carp, but the name marked was indeed an Asian carp, he would definitely not admit it, grass carp and carp were the two fish that Hong Tao caught the most in his previous life, not to mention holding it in his hand and looking carefully, even if it was not exposed in the water, he could also judge what kind of fish it was by virtue of the swimming characteristics of the fish.

"Turning the page, you see, there are 4 kinds of fish here, all called Asian carp, they look different, this one is like the one you catch." Zhou Xiaoli was still careful, she flipped through the page of the album and found that there were 3 species of fish called Asian carp on the next page.

"This is the silver carp, this is the tarpon, this is the carp, I understand, this carp does not refer to the carp, but should be translated into the carp family, you Canadians are really lazy, 4 kinds of fish are called a name, you can think of it." Hong Tao studied the album for a while, and finally came to a comparative and logical conclusion, but the final answer had to be asked to Pavey.

Hong Tao used his special effect bait with sequin bait, almost at a speed of 15 minutes, to drag all kinds of fish up from the ice hole, most of which was spent looking at the picture to identify the fish, there were several fish that were not allowed to be caught were forced to be thrown back into the water, and the fish species that were caught had to be caught one by one, and they did not dare to stay for 1 millimeter, so they had to be released.

"Pavey is back, I'm sure I'll win this time, these two big carp alone are probably heavier than all his fish." Hong Tao heard a sound of an engine outside the house, it was estimated that Pa Wei and they were back, while standing up and opening the door, he proudly showed off to Zhou Xiaoli, just now, his second carp was also caught, to be precise, this is a grass carp, this one is bigger than the first one, almost 10 catties, even the small spear hook hanging on the sequins has been straightened, if it is not for the water temperature is too low, Hong Tao will never be able to get it by relying on this small fishing rod.

"Hello, you caught all these fish out there?" After the door opened, Hong Tao was startled, it was not Pavi and Old Gale standing outside, but two guys in uniform, a man and a woman, and a yellow and white off-road vehicle was parked behind, sprayed with the three letters of GRC, although Hong Tao was not sure what these three letters meant, but he saw very clearly that the gray belt exposed inside the man's yellow winter suit had a pistol inserted in it.

"Hello, I caught it." Although Hong Tao felt that he had not done anything illegal, he was still very nervous in the face of 2 policemen with loaded guns in a foreign country, especially the female policeman, if she was not Pavi's daughter, she would have to have 180 pounds without 200 pounds, with big shoulders and round waist, no worse than a man.

"My God, Mounties! You're in luck, as far as I can remember, I've only seen the Mounties 3 times, 2 of them in Vancouver. At this time, Zhou Xiaoli also ran out when she heard the movement, and after seeing these two, she was surprised, and her face turned red with excitement.

"We need to check your fishing licenses." Seeing Zhou Xiaoli's brainless smile, the female policeman on the side stepped forward very vigilantly and took over the position of the male policeman.

"Oh, yes, I have ......" Hong Tao heard that he was checking fishing, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"Are you a foreigner? Can I take a look at your passport? The policewoman took the fishing license, and after just one glance, her expression became more serious.

"Oh, here's my passport." Hong Tao took out his passport and handed it over.

"Miss, what about yours?" The policewoman turned her attention to Zhou Xiaoli again.

"I'm a local, Miss Police." Zhou Xiaoli also saw that the female policeman didn't have a good impression of her, so she had to put away her brainless smile and obediently took out her driver's license.

"You caught all of this?" The policewoman took the documents of the two and walked back to the police to verify their identities by radio, and the male policeman looked at a piece of fish thrown at the door of the hut and asked.

"I fished it, I fished it according to the instructions, and the size and quantity matched." Hong Tao handed the fishing pamphlet in his hand to the male policeman to prove that he had not violated the rules.

"Oh, no, I like to fish too, I can see without a manual, these fish meet the specifications of your license, but I'm curious how you got these fish out of a fishing spot, you know, these fish are scattered in the lake, and the water is different, especially this fish, they are very difficult to catch in the winter." The policeman crouched down, took off his gloves, and lifted the grass carp up.

"It's my secret, you also like fishing? Do you know a lot about here? Hong Tao heard that this was an expert, at least the male policeman was not lying, he must have liked fishing, and most of the fish knew their living habits very well.

"Oh, I grew up here, and I go fishing when I'm not working, and this lake is even my territory, my name is Dave, and it's nice to meet you." The female policeman walked back at this time, nodded at the male policeman, and then returned the documents to Hong Tao and Zhou Xiaoli.

"I'm also very happy, my surname is Hong, my name is Tao, and you look good in this police uniform." Hong Tao saw that the police suddenly changed from fierce to smiling, he was very unaccustomed to it, and he didn't find a suitable entertainment, so he had to use the police uniform to say something.

"Hahaha, you're the first to boast about your good-looking police uniform, at least I've heard of it for the first time, can I go in and see you fishing? I'm still curious, of course, it's not a law enforcement order, it's a request. "The male cop didn't want to leave.

"That'...... Welcome...... Please come in. Hong Tao didn't know what the male policeman was going to do, everyone had put it forward, so he couldn't refuse, and according to Hong Tao's thinking inertia, he really didn't dare to refuse the police's request.
