Bow Fishing the Wabash River

[SycamoreStateofMind]

This is basically what I have been doing in the off season to keep my mind sharp for basketball season. These jumping Asian Carp are all over the Wabash River and something has to be done - they are actually pretty dangerous. So before anyone goes all PETA on me just know that it's one of the most evasive fish ever introduced (by flooding) to fresh water. Be sure to watch in full screen mode. Enjoy the video!

they're a problem everywhere, not just the 'Bash. doubt PETA has a bad thing to say about a species such as this; they are/will wreak havoc on any new territory they invade, much like the burmese python in the FLA Everglades.

I saw a show not long ago which was filmed on the Illinois River w/ the SAME problem. I guess they're worried about entry into Lake Michigan as well. Probably the same damn fish I see jumping out of the Indian River here in Melbourne Beach. No python or boa's up here...yet. I look in our Assn pool every morning before I swim my laps!

For you "anglers" looking for a fishing challenge:
