Flying Silver Carp on Wabash River in Indiana

Flying silver carp jump and leap out of the water and into our boat. Indiana Outdoor Adventure TV hosts Troy McCormick and Mac Spainhour fend off the 20 pound fish as they attack the boaters and provide a boatload of fun and adventure.

[@adriennejackson8132]

I absolutely love this kind of fishing, no fishing equipment and no bait. All you need is a football helmet and a net. 😊😊😊

[@disabler5776]

Fish jumping in your boat.. This is what i always imagine heaven is like!

[@jacobspassons5249]

Disabler it gets annoying tho after awhile

[@SniperLogic]

Disabler Until you decide to eat the carp. Lol.

[@carreraman8364]

it gets very dangerous they can break your jaw

[@jacobstarr9010]

This is actually very dangerous these fish can average 20-40 lbs

[@carmahdee]

That is some pretty amazing footage. If I was in that boat I'd probably wear a helmet. Cool show!

[@MattSorensen]

Holy crap that is awesome

[@mykseee]

you mean holy carp? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@MattSorensen]

You stop that right meow

[@0xskar]

Not really. These fish are doing the same damage that the Japanese oak did to America in the 1950's. Basically eliminating every species.

[@michelleridling5791]

They ended up with 300 lbs of Carp that day! Wow!!

[@sydney78602]

My teacher showed me this in class today it was so freaking awesome

[@bleedingsilhouette6272]

Ain't that just a dream! Just a ride down the river no bait, no poles and you still come home with 8 fish that just jumped right in.

[@msenior777]

Awesome work guys. Sooo good. Love how it just comes straight across your chest. Nice.

[@poohbear1647]

I imagine that in Heaven, it’s like this with Bass and Trout.

[@Jimmy47904]

somewhere in Asia some guy is trying to tell his friends and relatives that America is so bountiful that all you have to do is put your boat in the river and the fish will just come and jump in.... and they are just shaking their heads thinking Wan is so full of it.

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

err...no. we think you were pansies. in asia those fishes run from us. in US they attack you like nothing. LMAOOO

Wow! Talk about raining cats & dogs. Carp a la Carte will be on the menu, tonight.

[@David-ee6lk]

The noise they make when they land in the boat is hilarious

[@NaBeHobby]

Man, free food with no effort

[@antmats1783]

+NaBeHobby their invasive species they are aisan carp

[@Katiethreeable]

I don't think many people eat Carp.....

[@persianmoon]

Asian carp is quite delicious, especially bighead carp, not like normal carp. I really like to eat it. Sure I am Chinese.

[@hunterpro_1]

carp taste like shit. best way to cook it is spear it with a stick and roll it over a fire, after an hour take the fish off throw it out and eat the stick.

[@maoqiutong]

Kathy Somers Carps are most widely consumed fish in China. Most delicious one is Big Head

[@ibrodie1]

This is terrifying!!! Fun to watch, but terrifying!

[@learytinki6098]

I love how excited that one guy is

[@wilmerfgr]

Looks so fun!. Best way to go fishing!

[@WandlessWizard]

This is awesome!! It was hard to seem them all getting bloody from banging their heads around though. Be responsible and put them out of their misery while they're piling up. Seriously wish I could fish here. Looks like fun!

[@justvibing1601]

I feel like it would of been dangerous to get down there to kill the fish with other fish jumping in the boat

[@SleepyParakeet]

​@@justvibing1601yeah fish are surprisingly heavy

[@garrettmccallum9643]

Well they are an invasive species killing the environment for native l, natural Indiana fish.

All the words of the holy Quran are from the Creator.I urge all you buy the holy Quran with translation and read the entire holy Quran with patience to know about creator and to know why he created us.Pls watch video "The meaning of life muslim spoken word".Also watch doctor Zakir Naik lecture Quran and modern science compatible or incompatible. I urge all non-Muslims and Muslims to wake up before it is too late.May Allah guide all of you on right path.Ameen

These fish are invasive.

These guys very Lucky. Their Lunch is ready 🐟🐟🐟🐟 without any hardwork

[@thejesuschannel7331]

Now that's funny Mother nature fights back! Hilarious! Thanks

[@Pytlikovo]

We got 18 in the boat . . . 19! lol

[@BootprintsTV]

We filmed this video on the lower section of the Wabash River near Vincennes, Indiana.

[@Exayevie]

Thanks! My dog almost dragged me into the Wabash in Warren County today, trying to chase after some of these fliers!

[@sunilkumar8583]

I am fisher man I like fish so much.I like fish hunting.

[@harproli]

Wow, I wish I could be there! Amazing! Roli

[@BootprintsTV]

@cjacustomwoodworking, Surprisingly, you can not help but laugh when these things are flying all across the boat and past you. It's just plain hilarious. However, if you watch the full half hour show that we did you'll see that we addressed the seriousness of the problem and detrimental effects they are having on the ecosystem. Watch Indiana Outdoor Adventures episode #16 for the full show.

[@smartereveryday]

NINETEEN!

[@Exayevie]

Wow, imagine running into you here, nine years later while I'm just trying to find out what kind of fish my dog was jumping after on my walk today! Hello! 👋

[@Lol-no4sl]

Wow gi

[@autophile5100]

Wow.. destin was here 9 years ago

[@maryanntopregtropiano777]

Wow that is fun no need to use your fishing rod 😀😀

[@youtuber-war9339]

I think It will be fun to hang out with these guys for a day

[@jacklao5310]

They probably need to wear football uniform when boating on this river next time.

[@BootprintsTV]

Actually, the Asian Silver Carp jumps because it is startled by the vibrations of the boat motor. One fish jumps and startles the next, etc. And they are bleeding because they have no scales on their heads and hitting the boat or any hard object can cause them to bleed.

[@ALTHEEB08]

I lived in Indiana Terre Hute in 1996 to 1997 .. It was the best year in my life 

[@MaxySlaai]

awesome, beautiful to watch! You freaking fish magnets!

[@xopenex]

that looks fun, I want to do it too n

[@travowithus1950]

Wow, this is amazing. I wonder why they can fly high like that. Good video, good catch!

[@whatintheworldisthat]

They're a horrible destructive invasive foreign species that may ruin all our rivers

[@bernardocolocado5457]

Oh boy..you guys are so blessed having a river with that much fish..so awesome..😊😊😊

[@damnimloomin]

they are actually a problem with the habitat

[@whatintheworldisthat]

They're a foreign fish brought in from Asia. Extremely invasive and dangerous.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

LOL no we are not. These fish are destroying all of our rivers. They eat all the food and displace our native fish. These things are a huge problem

[@Jacked01]

Nice basket on the guy in the green shirt

[@VineetKumar-js1do]

dis is called "fully automatic fishing"

[@EJAXK13]

You know, this seem like cheating.

[@ulrika5909]

I went fishing one time and there was a huge fish under my perch. I just grabbed him

Wow

[@suziq4ever]

An authentic Chinese food restaurant wld do great too; steamed carp, sweet & sour carp, fish paste, fish sauce, fish cake etc etc

[@BootprintsTV]

Wildlife biologist have told me that the noise and vibrations created from the boat motor startles the silver carp and they leap out of the water.

[@RastaHtmwp]

2:40 il s'fait littéralement baffer par le poisson MDR "Here we gooo" ^^'

[@lapissafeiros2238]

Haha. Oh, my. Looks like they're having fun. :P

[@billieb2150]

I'm thinking they have sonar running on the boat or the boat is emitting a frequency of some sort that is causing them to try and escape the water. otherwise the fish would be jumping 80/90 yards back of the boat.

[@tri5hco3]

Billie B nope..just the motor. its like a domino effect. one starts and they all do it... easily spooked, nothing was even on the other side of the river.. must of seen his shadow!

[@BootprintsTV]

I have no idea what this means! However, you should be aware that the Department of Natural Resources asks boaters to not return these fish to the water alive. They are a destructive exotic to these waterways.

[@WolfsDE]

I am wondering. I know the boat sounds or vibration sets these fish off. Could it work from the bank with say...a portable speaker?

[@samali27]

i loke to watch! Great look, thanks

[@scikeio]

One Of The Best Video I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! :D

[@therogerwilco]

Did ya end up smoking em? lol That's awesome!

[@jacklao5310]

Roger Wilco I wonder if they are edible.

[@therogerwilco]

I bet other than smoking them a whole milk soak and peanut oil would do wonders

[@SomeoneWhoBlends]

I so want to do this. I'd bring a net.

[@TheRico3400]

thats the most amazing fishing I've ever seen!

[@whatintheworldisthat]

They're invasive and dangerous. They will kill off all our native species and put an end to recreational boating.

[@spamstoper3]

cool video ! great fishing !

[@chrismorrison1050]

lots of fish blood even on the fish 2:55

[@SmoshDella]

Those fish are suicidal like wtf lol

[@lolaspearso]

aaaaah! amazing! wish if i was with you guys!

[@sanloc2]

In Malaysia silver carp is a delicacy :)) Yammy yammy if you steam it with ginger! I love the head!

[@whatugot9020]

Do you have to pay for the fish you catch? Do you have a fishing license?

[@reconx86]

lol does this even count as fishing?

[@TheLemming1337]

Invasive species, as far as i know they are free game

[@aquiegaloucura]

I have a fear of fish This is literally my worst nightmare

[@colton.421]

Haha, yikes

[@FishingInSpain]

Love the fight you get from carp.

[@julianamartinvlog]

Oh man absolutely free fish for a day...😉😊

[@OneTrickMouse]

@KABOY26 I'm not entirely sure about this video specifically, but this can, will, and has happened in the Great Lakes in Illinois, and the Mississippi River. Flying carp are a big problem and are pushing native fish species out. They're having fun here, but it's pretty dangerous. If one of these were to hit you in the head, you could end up with a concussion or worse.

[@whatintheworldisthat]

I agree. These silver carp are invasive and will ruin our waterways if not stopped. Once they take a foothold, there will be no more recreational lakes and rivers. I've been reading the comments which are unbelievable. People saying how great it is to have these fish in the water. They have no idea...

[@valntino333]

free fish

[@kalynmiller558]

I have a very huge appetite for seafood and other marine life

[@MrPokerPowa]

The man in green is very couragous!!!!!

[@musicismylife5375]

For those of you asking when they hit the boat they bleed a lot because they're pounding their body's against the boat which isn't exactly soft. They can't control the constant flailing around and also once fish are in the boat when the other ones jump in they will hit the other fish and the scales rub against each other and make them bleed... This is disgusting to me to be honest I feel bad for the little things. Slowly dying and what not.. But it's life I guess

[@morinaa]

What part of the Wabash river is this on?

[@BootprintsTV]

Anthony Morin This is the lower Wabash, just down river from Vincennes.

[@raniaalkhazaali8210]

when should we go to fish this carp one

[@nombaite2443]

The fishes want to go boat riding!

[@empressgoddessofthegalaxys5172]

Whoa!!! This is sooo Coool!! 😍😂🤣

[@e1foley]

And here I am with my expensive tackle not catching shit. Those things fry up food?

[@michelleridling5791]

What causes these fish to do this?

[@martymac5372]

Michelle, it is the sound of the outboard motor. The particular frequency of sound is what causes it, some motors more than others.

[@michelleridling5791]

Marty Mac very interesting information,thanks!

[@martymac5372]

Michelle Ridling Your welcome Michelle.

[@GerthuyaRana]

They are scared so they jump

[@aidangm7419]

They mistake the pressure waves of the boat for the movement of predators

[@doenjangstew4438]

As I know, in Korea, Japan and China, carp is the best fish. It's gone now (due to hygiene), but only 20 years ago, carp was eaten as sashimi in Korea. And many people said the best texture as sashimi was carp.

[@asoaoj]

The best way to fish! Damn they are experts!

[@MRSTEEL15]

Who can I contact to go on this trip?

[@Katiethreeable]

Yeah Really !! lol This would be fun I think too ... :D

[@MRSTEEL15]

+Kathy Somers Any info? keep me posted :)

[@Katiethreeable]

Probably the Indiana Outdoor adventures...where it says at the first of this You Tube Video is all I would start with :D ....or google Where can I go Fishing Carp in Wabash River ?? I will let you know if i find out for sure !!

[@MRSTEEL15]

+Kathy Somers TY

[@BootprintsTV]

Sorry, but we are not an outfitter and do not provide tours. We are an outdoor television show.

[@GorillazGames]

This just shows how nature provides everything you need for survival. I think the modern man has lost sight of that

[@elenagonzalez234]

FANTASTIC!!! THANKS ELENA GONZÁLEZ.

[@insaneclownhoty]

I love saving fish when I catch them. I'll let them pack in the water slowly. Fish are fucking adorable

[@TigrrrTamer]

there is nothing funny about this. these carp, escaped from an asian restaurant's tank, have now invaded most waterways. they are voracious and destroy all other fish species in the rivers and lakes, until there is nothing left. a severe tragedy. boats should start dragging nets or something to catch them to try and get rid of them.

[@dedebaja59]

TigrrrTamer Are these fish edible? Carp are not usually the preferred fish for consumption, right? Not where I come from anyway!

[@holdemNE1]

dede baja Feed them to prisoners.

[@alisoncoulter3774]

dede baja mdc.mo.gov/media/video/asian-carp-filleting-cooking Much better tasting than common carp.

[@TigrrrTamer]

dede baja yes. they were imported to help the fish industry.

[@jesusraydelsanchezrodrigue8279]

TigrrrTamer : How do they destroy other species if they only feed on phytoplankton? Catfish would eat anything that crosses their way, but that is not the case of the flying silver carp. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_carp

[@qpae123]

What is wrong with the people in the comments asking '' is carp edible '' ?:)) Are you trolling or you just lived under a rock ? Ofcourse is edible and is damn tasty too !

[@gk-cl7so]

ugh carp is not tasty... gtf out of here with that

[@qpae123]

G Kap Carp is for soup and is incredible tasty. Don't be an ignorant . You have no ideea how good it is.

[@jamesaritchie1]

Be nice. Very, very few people have ever eaten carp, and for good reason. While you can eat anything, common carp is not the best eating fish out there. It can be pretty bad. If you want common carp at its best, you really need to follow the practice of keeping it alive for a week. This cleans the mud out of its system, and makes it much better eating. But Asian carp really aren't even closely related to common carp. Asian carp even have a brand new name, and are served in restaurants under that name. And it is not easy renaming a species. There are more regulations than you would believe. Asian carp are fin fishing. For some reason, they love to hit spoons, which makes fishing for them all the more fun. Anyway, you don't have to be a troll, or live under a rock, not to know anything about carp. Carp is an invasive species, has a bad reputation, and is the least eaten large fish in America.

[@jamesaritchie1]

Carp is not for soup. But people need to stop saying "carp". Carp means nothing. There are several type of "carp". they really aren't even related, and some are good eating, while others are not so good.
