This happened to my wife and I while houseboating in the Atachafalya Basin near Henderson a couple years back. We were told it happens when oxygen in the water is low. It is REALLY spooky to see.
I saw something on TV about these fish. Some type of non-native chinese carp that jump out of the water due to engine noise or by putting a small electrical current into the water. Unfortunately they are destroying habitat for native fish. Apparently they're not good eating either.
I reserve the right to not publish ignorant ill-informed and filthy comments from vile cretins who have a four letter vocabulary. Further, anonymous comments with strong opinions and personal attacks may be rejected. If you want to voice a strong opinion, at least have the courage to sign your name to it. You don't even have to use your name, make something up so the next person can address your comment without confusion.

ReplyDeleteThat's the most incredible thing I've seen in weeks. Thank you for making my evening.
ReplyDeleteDAMN! To think all this time I was using a rod and reel, no WONDER I never caught anything.....
ReplyDeleteI've heard the brag "the fishing was so good, they were jumping into the boat", but I never thought I would see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this, Xavier. I'm going to steal it!
