Some may have seen this, but I still get a good laugh
turn up your speakers to hear reaction of the fishermen

It's not so funny when you consider the ecological disaster they represent.

I agree, and we are trying like hell to keep them out of The Great Lakes.
They would destroy the sports fishing and the commercial fishing as well.

But... It is funny to watch all the same

What the hey ???? Most of the fish are already covered in blood by the time they end up in the boat, so what's really going on? You see a lot of leapers around the boat, but not a lot in the background or off to the sides. Have these guys got some gizmo that are driving the fish to jump? (gee.... staging something for YouTube??? Nah......never been done.... )

I have seen Carp (Hamilton Harbour / Burlington Bay, call it what you want). Cross between catfish and goldfish. They ain't that energetic, especially when they get to 3 or 4 or 5 feet in length!!

Apparently silver carp are that energetic. I have seen other vids with many more leaping fish all around the boat. In places you have to wear a helmet for your own safety.

A quick google revealed this vid :

The vibration of the motor sets them off. We should commercial fish these things and sell them back over seas.
