When it comes to the Asian flying carp, it’s a horrible fish that eats the other fish in the waterways it infests out of house and home, literally. Asian flying carp are one of the most dangerous invasive species on the planet, and not just because Asian flying carp like to knock people out. In the Midwest of America, in rivers like Illinois’ Spoon River, the Asian flying carp is a major problem, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with them. A hot new viral video shows a boat driving through Asian flying carp-infested waters while the carp simply throw themselves into the boat.
Cue the fishalanche footage!

The group counted over 70 5-10-pound Asian flying carp inside the boat, which is a great haul if the Asian carp was the kind of fish you could eat (it tastes awful, but is a delicious taste treat in Asia), and one incredibly memorable experience for all involved. It’s just a shame those folks can’t freeze and ship those Asian carp off to the local Chinese market for consumption, because they’d be rolling in cash!
