Chapter 176: Winning Too Easily

Harrison also showed off his arm strength and wrist strength at this time, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and directly lifted the big fish that was more than ten pounds and was still struggling from the water, without caring about the water droplets and blood splashing on his body, shouting for Hong Tao to take pictures of him.

After a toss, the big fish was already frozen, Hong Tao looked at Harrison's knife carefully, okay, what kind of knife is this, it's about to catch up with the axe. The back of the knife is thick enough for an adult's thumb, with two rows of staggered serrations on it, and a barb at the tip of the blade, which is also very sharp inside.

"What is this knife for? Why is it so heavy? Hong Tao took the knife in his hand and checked it, it had to weigh 2 pounds, it was really someone playing something.

"Bear Hunting Knife! Didn't Pavey get you a handful? If you hit bears and deer, you'll need it to handle your prey. Harrison put the cleaned knife back in its leather sheath.

"Harrison, I think this competition is boring anymore, the only thing that hasn't been determined now is which of us needs to go to the ticket, just rely on this one fish, and the championship is basically no suspense." Pavey didn't say anything about the knife, but pointed to the big fish on the ground in frustration, and next to the big fish lay his and Harrison's anchovies, and when compared to each other, their fish were like small fry.

"That's also going to be compared, according to what you said, Tao is the champion, I admit that I can't catch him, but we haven't decided the winner yet, continue!" Harrison was such a man, with high morale, that he picked up his fishing rod and continued to throw.

The rest of the game was really shocking, Hong Tao handed over the fishing rod to Boss Liu, and he only instructed Boss Liu on the side how to throw bait at the fishing point according to a fixed frequency, and then took the time to replace the left-hand wheel with the right-hand wheel, and then there were all kinds of fish, and the nest below was issued.

In fact, Hong Tao's fishing method is the sea rod and hook fishing he is most familiar with in China, but he only changed the bait from corn beans to this powdered bait. The only difference is that the fishing spots are closer to each other and the bait is changed more frequently.

The advantage of this method is that it is more convenient, the disadvantage is that the nest time is relatively long, when fishing in the domestic reservoir, it usually takes about 2 days to have an effect, and you have to find the right position to make the nest, otherwise you may not be able to catch a fish for several days. But once the nest is formed, schools of fish will enter and feed, and the individuals are usually relatively large.

Boss Liu had a good time this time, and it took less than an hour. There were already a lot of fish thrown behind him, the smallest one had to be 5 catties up, and the largest one was a little bigger than the one that Hong Tao fished, a silvery-white big carp in the water.

According to Harrison, there are no restrictions on this carp in Ontario, it is open to fishing, and it is not allowed to be released. The reason is that these carp are alien species, introduced by those damned Americans in the '70s to dredge the river.

Who would have thought that after these guys arrived in the United States, they basically had no natural enemies. And there was plenty of food, and it broke out all at once, especially the Mississippi River, which became the hardest hit area for Asian carp. After they have eaten all the aquatic plants, they start to compete with other fish for food, and they have a very good appetite and hold on to almost anything. From algae to fish eggs, it sweeps everything and is super reproductive. The ability to migrate is even more unmatched.

As a result, the Americans were out of luck, and in many of the rivers they were almost dominated by Asian carp, and other fish were squeezed out of their reach, and these fish began to spread to the Great Lakes region, even to southern Canada.

Now the U.S. government and the Canadian government have little to do with these fish, so they have to spend a lot of money to set up barrage nets in many rivers that enter the Great Lakes region to prevent these fish from entering the Great Lakes region in large numbers, but the effect is not very good, because these Asian carp include carp, grass carp, silver carp and tarpon, which can not only jump high above the surface of the water, pass through the barrage, but also pass through the underwater silt.

As a result, the U.S. and Canadian governments have encouraged fishermen and anglers to hunt down these invaders, and it is said that in the Mississippi River Basin, the hardest-hit area of the United States, the killing of Asian carp not only does not cost a license, but also receives cash rewards from the local and federal governments.

Hong Tao listened to Harrison's description, the root of his teeth itched, even if you spend money on fishing in China, it is not easy to catch, but when you go to the United States, fishing has become a hero for the country and the people, and there are cash rewards, God is the old man is menopause, can't he balance these natural resources a little!

"Since there is no limit to the number, let's just scatter the fishing, which can be regarded as a little reward for the people of Bethune's hometown." After hearing the news, Boss Liu can be regarded as happy, and now he is the happiest, although his tired hands are trembling, and he has to let Hong Tao help him with the bait, but he is still playing fishing, and he is reluctant to waste his smoking efforts.

"If you want to say that this foreigner is really stupid, this is also rewarded with money, borrowing 500 fishermen from China, coming to them for a year, so that their rivers will be clean immediately, not to mention fish, not even shrimp can be found!" Boss Liu's mouth is too damaging.

"Why don't we form a fishing group in the summer and go to the United States to support the American people who are living in dire straits?" Hong Tao also opened with him, saying strange things.

"Why don't you think they eat these fish? Still not hungry, if it is 60 years, they will even have to eat water and grass. I have also eaten with foreigners in China, and they eat fish well, and every time they have a treat, they order squirrel fish. "Boss Liu still can't figure out how so many people can stump these fish.

"They think it's a very dangerous thing to eat fish, especially freshwater fish, especially for children, so they only eat fish with fewer spines, and then make fish steaks or something, stupid." Hong Tao has asked the Canadians and Americans he knows many times, and the final conclusion is that in terms of food, they are really brainless, and would rather eat that kind of tasteless fish steak than use their brains to get a chopped pepper fish head, sauerkraut fish or something, if the whole United States eats freshwater fish, the Mississippi River will not have to worry.

The game is coming to an end, and even Boss Liu is no longer fishing, his arms are so tired that he has to smoke hard, so he can only rest while regretting.

Hong Tao doesn't even fish, the fish here are too stupid and too many, even if you don't use special bait, only corn kernels, you can still achieve this effect, but you need to wait a little longer. Fishing is a game between man and nature, and either side is too weak to play interestingly. Fish like here, caught according to the mood and method of the country, are basically slaughtered, massacre, and soon lose the fun of fighting wits and courage.

The battle between Harrison and Pavey continues, and it is getting to a fever pitch, by which time Pavey has made up five of the heaviest fish, but he still wants to catch a bigger one; One of Harrison's five fish was obviously a little small, just past the length allowed to be killed, and if he used this fish as his heaviest score, he would definitely lose to Pavey, so he was even more anxious.

Just seconds before Boss Liu slapped the end of the game, Harrison hit another fish, and it seemed to be a big anchovy, even bigger than the largest of Pavina's five fish.

"Your fish has committed a foul and it's still in the water at the end of the game, so it doesn't count as a score." As Harrison gripped and brought the fish up to his five fish, Pavey reached out and took it, then threw it back into the lake with a flick of his hand.

"But before the game was over, it had bitten the hook! It should count as my grades! Harrison didn't do it, his eyes widened, and he held the fishing rod and Pavey head to head with him like a bull.

"According to the practice of international competitions, a catch is a fish that was caught before the end of the competition, and you obviously haven't caught it yet, so it can't be counted!" Pavey was a head shorter than Harrison, but he had a bigger tonnage and was not afraid at all.

"But we're not an international competition! I must throw away one of your fish too! Harrison was only about 5 years old at this time. (To be continued......)
