Jeff, I believe your fish story now...
Jeff, I believe your fish story now...
I witnessed a carp leaping spectacle this afternoon where the runout from Tunica Cutoff enters the Mississippi.
One sailed right over my head and landed on the other seat beside me, but flipped out of the boat. Another landed on the gunwale and fell out also. Then two, back to back, landed in the boat and flopped madly around. I figure them to be 30 and 15 pounds. These things were jumping 5-6 feet out of the water.
I've heard of carp hitting you in the boat and I now believe it. If I had been going full speed, I would still be in the river and my boat somewhere down by Greenville now.

One afternoon on Lake Whittington River Hunter, my wife, and I were running the lake when all of a sudden a 25+ Lb fish lands in my wife's lap. Before I knew what had happen my wife and River Hunter were standing on the back deck of the boat and the huge fish was under my feet. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath! We had another come up and hit my arm but the real site was what was going on behind the boat they were everywhere. I saw a show about them on TV on 48 Hours or some show like that.
