No, I'm not talking about the jumping silvers.

Jason and I got a good laugh at the expense of an arrowed carp the other night on the Des Plaines. The fish took a shaft from Jason and then proceeded to swim directly under the front of the boat at max speed. The boat stopped almost instantly and we realized that the fatcarp had grounded us by wedging herself between our hull and the bottom. Had to break out the push pole to get off of her. I was quite amused.

The fish are getting smart this year, and are apparently willing to sacrifice themselves to slow us down. Fine with me. Still got her in the boat.
