Chapter 95 Sheriff Joe, Asian Carp Varieties
Chapter 95 Sheriff Joe, Asian Carp Varieties
Leggett is a small town (city).
But there are also several thousand people.
They have their own police station.
It is important to note that the US policing system is completely different from that in China, with each police department being independent of the others!
FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
州警
县警
市警
There is no superior-subordinate relationship between them!
Federal, state, county, and city police each handle their own affairs. Unless it's a case they can't handle, local jurisdiction has the greatest authority for most cases, and county police cannot enforce the law in the territory of city police.
State police cannot enforce the law in county police territories.
The FBI can enforce the law wherever it wants, but it cannot deploy or manage local police departments.
The state police have the least power, with virtually no territory, and are only responsible for patrolling state highways and protecting government agencies.
County police are responsible for law enforcement in county towns, uninhabited areas, and small towns without city police, as well as prison security, etc.
City police, of course, can only enforce the law within the city limits.
The United States has 12000 municipal police departments.
There are nearly 500,000 police officers.
They account for about 70% of the nation's police force!
The city police have a very heavy workload. They not only have to fight crime, but also enforce laws in urban management, road administration, fisheries administration, and traffic, and issue all kinds of tickets. They are a very powerful force.
Illegal fishing, fines issued
Speeding and illegal parking, ticket issued
Littering will result in a ticket.
Illegal and criminal activity, open fire!
In its true sense, "Police" refers to the municipal police!
State Police is Trooper
The FBI are federal agents—
Federal-Agent
The city police are the real police.
Jiang Feng believed that in such a small place, surely some of the cowboys knew the sheriff, or rather, the chief.
(PoliceCommissioner)
Sure enough, Caroline raised her hand and said, "Sheriff Joe is my uncle. I'll call him right away and tell him."
Jiang Feng nodded and took his parents fishing.
When fishing for Asian carp in the United States, be aware of the following:
Choose the best fishing gear you can find!
Because you never know, the next Asian carp might weigh tens of kilograms, but it will definitely be very heavy.
The term "Asian carp" used by Americans doesn't just refer to common carp; it also includes grass carp, black carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and other cyprinid fish. As long as it's a carp, it counts. Common carp aren't considered a major threat.
Grass carp, black carp, silver carp, bighead carp—they're really something!
The invasive species of Asian carp in the United States is not simply because Americans don't eat them.
Survival of the fittest
Survival of the fittest
The main reason is that Asian carp have a greater ability to survive, adapt, and compete than native fish.
They were so hungry they would eat anything they could get their hands on!
They even eat the eggs of other fish!
How can this not become rampant?
╮(╯_╰)╭
The lack of natural predators and effective fishing have resulted in an alarming number and weight of these Asian carp.
Jiang Feng specifically brought a metal rod for sea fishing.
Paired with No. 8 carbon wire —
0.5 mm in diameter
80 lbs weight limit
For bait, corn is enough!
Even corn.
That's more than enough.
My father, Jiang Zhijun, had just thrown it in, and less than two minutes later, he saw the buoy sink and felt a tremendous force in his hand!
The fishing rod was bent into a full moon shape.
"Oh~"
"Holy crap! A big fish! It's definitely a big fish!"
Jiang Zhijun was shocked and exclaimed loudly. He had never caught such a big fish in his life and was very excited.
It won't budge! It's impossible to move it!
The fishing line cuts through the water, making a whooshing sound.
Fortunately, the fishing rod is a soft metal rod, and the fishing line is a high-strength No. 8 carbon line. It's easy to catch fish weighing forty or fifty pounds, without any effort, and you don't even need to play the fish.
But you can't pull the fish up without playing it!
These Asian carp have become severely wild in the United States, completely unlike the temperament of farmed fish, and are extremely aggressive.

"Oh, come on, come on, hold on tight, don't let go, hold it, hold it, keep going!"
"Pull it back, keep going, don't let it run away!"
"Harpoon!"
"Stab it!"
The cowboys were the perfect straight men and the atmosphere-maker, cheering wildly from the sidelines and getting Jiang Zhijun's blood pumping.
The fish's back, emerging from the water, gleams with a golden sheen.
It's just a carp!
Jiang Zhijun used all his strength and finally managed to pull it to the shore, then called for help from the others to hold it.
Jiang Feng personally took the large harpoon.
A Japanese-style iaido (drawing a sword) on the shore.
Oops, I've pierced this carp!
"Good heavens, this is huge!"
Jiang Zhenshan's parents, grandparents, and other family members were all astonished and gasped in surprise. He recalled with a sigh:
"The last time I saw a carp this big..."
"Around 1980!"
"When we released water from Yanshan Reservoir, we found such a big carp. They weighed it and it was 40 jin (20 kg)."
Jiang Feng lifted it with one hand and nodded in agreement:
"About that, it should weigh around thirty or forty pounds."
Jiang Zhijun pursed his lips in annoyance: "Xiao Feng, are you possessed by the spirit of Rong Momo? Why did you stab it to death? What a waste!"
Su Meng and the others quickly waved their hands:
"We can't bring this back alive!"
"This is a highly dangerous invasive species. Our farm doesn't have Asian carp. If it gets into the lake, it will be a devastating blow to the ecosystem, and the migration of king salmon will also be affected."
"The economic losses must be very severe!"
Jiang Zhijun coughed awkwardly.
"Is that right?"
Li Shuhua glanced at him: "You don't even know this? I told you to watch more short videos, but you didn't believe me!"
"Humph~"
What does this have to do with watching short videos?
(decline)
Jiang Zhijun rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Jiang Feng shrugged: "If nothing unexpected happens, our farm's lake will attract a large number of king salmon to migrate back, generating an annual output value of up to hundreds of millions of US dollars, or even several hundred million US dollars per year!"
"But Asian carp will threaten them."
"So, Father, you don't want to see our farm lose such a large sum of money, do you?"
(→_→)( ̄^ ̄)”
The elderly father was drenched in sweat.
He sensed the dangerous look in his wife's eyes.
He was almost scared out of his wits.
Blanching
My son is such a pain!
Soon, everyone caught fish, big and small, ranging from two or three pounds to twenty or thirty pounds. There were carp, silver carp, and bighead carp (fathead fish), and they kept coming one after another.
suddenly
Jiang Feng's fishing line taut instantly. He frowned; the force was immense, probably exceeding eighty pounds.
Oops!
The fish may not weigh 80 pounds, but it struggles very fiercely, far exceeding 80 pounds, and the line can easily break.
"Boss, hold on, don't try to pull him!"
The cowboys also spotted fish in the river.

"Fuck, it's a bluefish, it's probably not going to make it!"
Bluefish are not numerous in California, but they are definitely the largest Asian carp in terms of weight, and they are also very aggressive.
"Holy shit!"
The cowboys were in a panic.
I don't know how to help my boss.
Jiang Feng finally managed to pull it to the shore, but it struggled frantically. If he didn't loosen his grip, the line would break, so he had no choice but to let go.
Back and forth they went, it was no longer clear who was outmaneuvering whom; Doug held the harpoon, but had no chance at all.
"Sonofabitch!"
The cowboys started swearing.
"Let me try—"
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, someone shouted, jumped off the bridge onto the riverbank, and rolled up the sleeves of his police uniform.
Doug handed over the harpoon, greeting him with a smile:
"Chief Qiao, you're here so quickly?"
Chief Inspector Joe looked at the fish.
And look at the harpoon, it's not long enough!
He decisively drew his sidearm.
M1911
Aiming at the emerging bluefish—
Bang~
OK
Success! We shot through the fish's back!
The cowboys clapped, whistled, and cheered, and even Jiang Feng nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up.
Good, American style Iai.
It was indeed fast and accurate!
Chief Qiao smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "I aimed for the fish head, damn it, I missed."
"Shit, thank goodness I didn't embarrass myself!"
