    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-06 AT 10:03AM (EST)[/font][p]It was hard to tell... but they didn't look like carp to me... they looked more like large gizzard shad.

    They seemed to flat too be asian carp, and a bit too small. I've been in the middle of some of those asian carp jumping (on the Ohio, near Paducah). They are MUCH bigger. The smallest of the carp we saw jumping were 2+ pounds and most were as big as 5-10 pounds.

    These are special trained flying suckers they are nocturnal and only understand Portuguese. They also fly around on the back of red tail hawks at night.

    RE: Funny video... are these the Asian Carp?

    Im pretty sure they are asian carp. I my hometown is right on the Illinois and Spoon River in Illinois and they are full of them. My best friend worked for the DNR in Havana, Il and he would take us out with the shock boat and cameras. If you go by a brush pile and start the shocking they jump by the hundreds. I have been hit numerous times just going down the river. Smaller flying asian carp are actually thinner and can jump at least 4 feet out of the water. As soon as they land in the boat they immediately start to bleed and leave a residue on your boat. I have seen and have a picture of up to a 20lb fish that jumped into our boat. Imaging flying down the river at 65 mph and getting hit in the face with a 20 lb fish.
