Godly Fisherman

And the New Zealand "Diving King" William Trubridge mentioned by Xiao Peng is another diving monster in the eyes of many people. Many people even think that his achievement is higher than the others, because his diving method is snorkeling, without any auxiliary equipment, no fins or the like, and he relies on his hands and feet to dive to 116 in one breath. Depth of meters! Known as the world's all-around diving king!

Like other divers who challenge diving depth records, they all hold heavy objects, maintain a fixed posture, and use the weight of the heavy objects to dive freely. After reaching a certain depth, they release the heavy objects and return to the surface, while Trubridge leans against Dive into the bottom of the sea by himself in the breaststroke position. This is much harder than diving with heavy objects!

After all, when the depth of the dive exceeds 60 meters, the huge sea water pressure will cause a large amount of nitrogen in the body to merge into the blood, which will make people have the symptoms of'nitrogen anesthesia', and the whole person's nerve and mental state will appear drunk. Under such circumstances, let alone continue to dive, it is extremely difficult to even keep swimming, but Trubridge did it. So he is also a super monster.

Xiao Peng said without embarrassment that he was Trubridge's teacher, naturally it was no wonder those people were angry.

The blond man snorted coldly and pointed to an area in front of him and said: "That location is a submarine reef area, where there are California red abalones, but let me tell you first, the water conditions there are extremely complicated. If you go there, you will catch it. ."

Well, this person is generally good, no matter how unhappy he still tells himself where is dangerous, Xiao Peng smiled and said thank you to the blond man.

Everyone thought that when Xiao Peng was about to avoid that area, Xiao Peng pushed the buoy and swam directly there. To be precise, it was also Xiao Peng's target area, because he had already plunged his mind clone into the bottom of the sea, looking for the big California red abalone. The location mentioned by the blond man was exactly where Xiao Peng was going. However, Xiao Peng's behavior made the blond man very angry. In his eyes, Xiao Peng didn't know good or bad.

Xiao Peng didn't care about them. He had to return to the shore to go fishing in a hurry, so Xiao Peng swam directly to the target sea area and dived directly to the bottom of the sea with an abalone shovel and a nine-inch abalone caliper. Xiao Peng didn't want the seven-inch abalone caliper at all. Isn't it the big one? At the very least, it has to be ‘medal-grade abalone’.

California red abalone has its own name. Those over nine inches are called ‘medal-grade California red abalone’ and those over ten inches are called ‘beast-grade California red abalone’. The higher the grade, the more valuable it is!

Xiao Peng dived into the bottom of the sea. This is indeed a reef area as the blond said, and it is also a kelp growing area. California red abalone lives in such an area. The more abundant the kelp, the denser the California red abalone.

I have to admit that the wildlife protection in Stars and Stripes is really good. The California red abalones here are not too many. There are at least four or five on the rocks every time. What Xiao Peng has to do is just hold it. The caliper is used to measure which is larger, and then the largest is just fine.

It was the first time that Xiao Peng observed the California red abalone in the sea from a close range. The first thing that Xiao Peng felt was that he did not deserve the name. Isn't it red abalone? How come the color is the same as the rock? After careful observation, I discovered that it was because the surface of the red abalone was covered with algae and barnacles, and its original color could not be seen at all.

Compared with other abalones, red abalone’s stomach and feet are particularly developed. The most important thing is that its skirt is very beautiful. The color is dark purple and light purple. It looks very beautiful. Within a few minutes, Xiao Peng found a big California red abalone. In fact, in terms of length alone, it's really not that big, and it looks like it just reached the beast level. But this abalone looks so unique! The whole big round bun! Xiao Peng has never seen such a round abalone! Xiao Peng took out the abalone shovel and carefully shoveled it along the abalone shell little by little.

Xiao Peng was able to play vigorously on the bottom of the sea, but no matter the fisherman on the shore or the other divers in the sea, he looked nervous.

Male Coast Guard: "Hey, partner, the Chinese man you like has been here for six minutes, right?"

The female coast guard looked at her watch: "Yes, just six minutes later!"

Male Coast Guard: "The sea area there can be more than 20 meters deep and there are many undercurrents. Couldn't he have had an accident, right?"

The female marine police did not answer him, she stared at Xiao Peng's abalone buoy with a binoculars, her face was upside down with nervousness: "Should not?"

The male coast guard took out the radio: "In one minute, if he doesn't come up, I will call the police for help. This **** Chinese kid will really cause us trouble!"

The female marine police nodded, did not speak, but continued to observe with the telescope.

In the sea, several divers who were holding the buoy also discussed there: "Adamson, can't there be an accident with that Chinese man?"

Adamson was the blond boy. He gritted his teeth when he heard the question from his friend: "You are here to wait for me, I will go and see."

"Adamson, this won't work, the waters there are too dangerous!" Someone stopped Adamson.

Adamson shook his head: "After all, I mentioned that place to him before he went. If something goes wrong, I will feel guilty. Don't worry. I'll take a look and I won't dive too deep."

"Let’s go over together, this **** Chinese person will really cause trouble." So the four of them swam to Xiao Peng’s abalone buoys. The abalone buoys are all tied to people with a string. If Xiao Peng really Something happened, you can drag him up with a rope.

The four of them just swam to Xiao Peng’s abalone buoy. Adamson was about to pull the rope, but saw Xiao Peng poking his head out of the water and looking at the four of them: "Hi, friends, why are you here?"

Several people in Adamson looked at Xiao Peng with weird expressions. The red-haired young man who greeted Xiao Peng first said: "God, do you know how long you have been in the water? Six minutes! We all thought you had an accident! And came here on purpose. Look at you, you are having fun here! You have to think about it for us!"

Xiao Peng felt warm after hearing this: "Thank you, brothers, for worrying you, but you are right, there are abalones here, they are quite big!" After speaking, he raised his hand and held it in his hand. The "Damantou" red abalone is shown to everyone.

"Oh, Shet!" Adamson took a look and exploded directly: "Did you find a deep-sea monster?" The other three also took a breath.

Xiao Peng was taken aback: "Didn't it mean that the largest red abalone can be twelve inches long? I think this is ten inches. It's not big."

"God bless you, let me pretend to be a criminal!" The red-haired young man drew a cross on his chest and looked at Xiao Peng with envy: "Hua Xia, the red abalone depends not only on the size, but also on the weight. , The current California red abalone weight record is a red abalone caught by Reddy Jones, weighing 7.5 pounds! His red abalone is also round like yours, but the red abalone is only 9 inches long and does not have yours. Yuan, your one is at least one pound heavier than his one! Damn, congratulations on your wealth."

"Get rich? Doesn't it mean that a red abalone is one or two hundred dollars?" Xiao Peng puzzled.

Adamson sighed: "Brother, you are talking about small red abalones measuring seven to eight inches, and that was the price ten years ago. Now it costs at least five hundred dollars each! It's the price that you Chinese people fry... ...As for the California red abalone above the medal level, the price is even more scary, one costs one to two thousand dollars, you, a monster, sells five thousand dollars, I believe it! If it weren't because of its expensive price, who would be here every day Diving to find abalone? And now there are fewer and fewer big abalones. We just dived there for a long time and couldn't find suitable abalone."

Xiao Peng was startled when he heard it: "Damn, this abalone is so expensive? Is it that exaggerated?"

Adamson looked at the big abalone in Xiao Peng's hand with envy, and said: "Southern California has banned the fishing of California red abalone, and northern California only allows manual fishing. The medal-grade California red abalone is simply The ocean is legendary! Every year Northern California holds the California Red Abalone World Culinary Championships, but if you want to participate, you can only participate in the competition after free diving and salvaging the abalone by yourself."

Xiao Peng didn't know what to say. The protection of wild resources in this star-tiao country is really nothing. It is really worth learning.

Adamson looked at Xiao Peng: "Okay, **** lucky guy, don't froze, hurry up and register. The fisherman is watching from above."

Xiao Peng must have come back to his senses. He opened the waterproof buoy directly and took out a sealed box with an abalone certificate and pen in it. Write the time, fishing area and abalone license number on it, and put it on a label. Write the same content, and then put the label into the abalone hole with a disposable buckle. The label is disposable, and it won’t come off when you buckle it. This is to prevent the big one from being replaced after the small one is caught.

The most hateful thing is that these procedures must be completed in the sea. Do you want to go ashore and fill in the information? Fishermen will fine if they catch it! It is not easy to fill in these information at sea, you think, the registration form and label are not afraid of water, but it is difficult to write on the pen when the pen gets wet. There is no one around in the sea. Who do you find to borrow the pen?

These measures of the California Fisheries and Hunting Bureau are plainly about how to increase the difficulty for people. Therefore, it is really difficult for anyone to catch California red abalone that meets the requirements except for the real good players. Someone has made a statistics and found 100 red abalones. Among the people, it’s good to have one who can catch red abalone, and among 10,000 people who catch red abalone, it’s not bad to have one who can catch 24 places a year, especially for year-round salvage. It's hard to see California red abalone over seven inches. This is because of this, the price of California red abalone is so expensive!

The big abalone in Xiao Peng's hands, in Adamson's eyes, this is no longer an abalone, it is a dazzling dollar bill, looking at Xiao Peng one by one, it is difficult to hide the envy in his eyes.

Everyone has the same idea: how good would it be to find this abalone by yourself?
