Watch them fishing this way about a month or so ago. There was a husband and wife doing this "fishing" and she got thump a few times when the fish jumped towards the boat. The husband and wife are Lee & Tiffany both Archery hunters and who have their own hunting program.
"Because of their filter-feeding habits, they are difficult to capture by normal angling methods. Silver carp have become notorious for being easily frightened by boats and personal watercraft, which causes them to leap high into the air. The fish can jump 8?10 feet (2.5?3 m) into the air, and several people have been injured by collisions with the fish. They can grow to 40 pounds (18 kg) in mass."
Sweeet! I saw that show where Tiffany got the snot beat out of her by several fish. She wound up putting on a helmet. Tons of fun! I would like to try it with a spear or baseball bat! It would be a fun trip to take one of those PETA idiots on!!!
