    Default Watch out for these


    If you're fishing water that is connected to the Miss. river, they can be dangerous. This is the flying carp, Asian big mouth carp, imported here and now rampant in waters connected to the Miss. river. They react to outboard motor noise and jump several feet into the air and sometimes land in your boat as this one did. I got my arm up and fended him from hitting me, this one was in Lake Chicot and there were lots of them jumping.



    A bad day of fishing
    beats a good day at work.

    Yeah, they seem to jump worse if your just easing along about 5-7 mph.

    I've experienced those on chicot before. never had them jump in the boat, but they've scared the crap out of me before.

    I ran into a bunch of them down on the White river last year. Had one dang near take my head off. They can be dangerous.
