Default You've got to be kidding, leaping carp?

From staff and wire reports




Associated Press

Silver carp, like this one in the Missouri River, were brought to the United
States from Asia about 30 years ago.

ST. LOUIS - For years, boaters and fishermen on many midwestern rivers have
battled a fish with a bizarre behavior: silver carp that launch themselves into
the air, jumping into boats and often slapping the unsuspecting upside the head.



Man I bet it would be a blast, to "blast" those things,, put someone in
the front of the boat with a shotgun, it would be like trap shooting on
the fly. But I bet it would not be legal in any state,, too bad, it
could really reduce their numbers
