fish bio:


"Silver carp were imported to North America in the 1970s to control algae growth in aquaculture and municipal wastewater treatment facilities. They escaped from captivity soon after their importation.[5] They are considered a highly invasive species.[6] Silver carp together with the closely related bighead carp often reach extremely high population densities and are thought to have undesirable effects on the environment and on native species.[7]"

"The silver carp is also called the flying carp for its tendency to leap from the water when startled.[11] They can grow to over 40 lb (18 kg), and can leap 10 ft (3 m) in the air. Many boaters traveling in uncovered high-speed watercraft have been injured by running into the fish while at speed. In 2003 a woman jet-skiing broke her nose and a vertebra colliding with a silver carp and nearly drowned.[12] In another example, a teenager's jaw was broken by a silver carp while being pulled on an inner tube.[13] Water skiing in areas where silver carp are present is extremely dangerous."
 
Skip to about 1:00 and watch these guys in action... lol. And just so we're clear, not all people in the USA are idiots.
