Has anyone ever heard of cat-fisting??? I know (insert gay/prision joke here) But theres dudes that go in shallow places and hol bait in their hand and because the catfish are so big they try to swallow your whole arm. and you can just pull the bastards up. ---

there is a breed of asian carp that regularly grows 50-120lbs, and apparently they have made their way into some american waterways recently… mainly the mississippi and are a posing a threat to the great lakes. They have been know to jump high out of the water and even land in fishing boats…occasionally injuring people. “In some places on the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, there are so many Asian carp that commercial fishermen gave up trying to fish those pools,” said Jerry Rasmussen, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist at Rock Island, Ill. “There are so many that when we took people out on a sightseeing tour on a barge that had a table and umbrella on the deck, a silver carp jumped out of the water and landed on top of the umbrella. Some of our staff have been hit multiple times by big carp that landed in research boats.” crazy ass fish ---
