I am getting the vision a big, overweight guy, with baggie pants...and a lose belt, standing up and holding his pants open while the fish jump....

Wheres that pic of SOB and the trout?

Any idea why they do that?  Is it the light, or are they always jumping at night?  I noticed the spotlight beam is never held still; maybe that's agitating them to jump?

having spent alot of my childhood poaching trout from the local rich bastige's estate (we would hide in the reeds with homemade bows and bamboo spears, and wait for them for hours and hours untill the moment was right) we built up a huge respect for our semi-retarded prey.

i would have just thrown these poor buggers back in, they are obviously in some kind of mating ritual or something.

there is something about hunting your prey with weapons you made from the river bank, and stalkin an underwater creature in its own natural environment that breeds a huge mutual respect.




i truly feel sorry for thses fish, drowning in the boat as the fat guy laughs.


I hope he eats every last one. we would kill to eat a nice trout dinner cooked in a fire inn the woods, not for the sport.





edit: but in truth i was pissing my self laughing when i watched that

my guess would be that the light brings in bugs and lights them up for easy targeting by the fish, then the fish jump for the bugs.

they seemed to really fill the boat when the camera man started swinging the light back and forth over the boat.

Looks like those japanese jumping carp that got out of a farm down south. They made their way into the Mississippi and are making their way toward the great lakes. They are destroying ecosystems. They are considered a plague. They like to jump out of the water at the sound of the engine and when you flash light on them. The big ones are causing injuries and damage.

I have actually done this in Michigan on Belleville Lake - my dad demonstrated it to me.  You simply motor close to shore where fish are schooling. The fish are "between a rock and a hard place", they get spooked and jump - often into the boat.  I believe it was smallmouth bass ....

There is a fish that is dangerous because it will jump out of the water to attack peoples eyes at night if the moon or other light source is reflecting from ones eyes. If I remember correctly it's a marine fish and it has a pointy snout.

I don't know about you, but I think that a fish that leaps out of the water to attack peoples eyes is pretty damn cool.
