I wouldn't want to get clocked by a flying bottom feeder.

I saw a video awhile back. It was of two guys in a boat flashing a spotlight across the water and thousands of fish were flying through the air.

Not to "carp" on the issue, but skeet fishing sounds like fun.

Now this is a flying fish.

I thought Canada Geese were the flying carp.

Anyhow, I wonder if these grass carp eat Eurasian Milfoil. If so, I know a couple of lakes I'd like to plant some in.

"45- to 50-pound grass carp, more commonly known as flying Asian carp, "

Good with hush puppies and slaw?

Not only do you have to pick out bones while eating them, you also have to be careful about shotgun pellets.

I saw a show about invasive species on TV. One segment was on these fish. The TV crew ran an electric current through the water and the river came alive with jumping fish.

Flying carp?

I thought this would be a story about geese!

[KarlInOhio]

Jump, fish, jump!

I thought Canada Geese were the flying carp crappers.

That's a little more correct. : )

It's not really a solution. They eat everything and muddy up the water rooting around in the mud.

Where the fish jump into your boat: http://media.putfile.com/Incredible-Fishing-Video


I've had a smaller scale experience with finger mullet while flounder gigging at night. They see the light and go nuts jumping after it. Kind of weired at first to be out in the dark marsh and have these things hitting you.

That video is at post #12.

I thought the Flying Carp was the mainstay and primary workhorse for the French Air Force

[Vaquero]

[cripplecreek]

Cross those with Piranha and you have a horror movie.

[ahayes]

Please, don't tell Sci-Fi! There are too many stupid horror movies already!

"They eat everything and muddy up the water rooting around in the mud."

Every time my dad ever caught one he would hit it with a hammer and toss it back into the water lol. With carp we have a catch-smash and release policy.

[Carry_Okie]

A truly exotic, exotic species.
