Dangerous new invasive species heading up the Mississippi!

[Cyberfish]

This one is called the Asian Saber toothed flying Carp!

Can we stop it before its toooo late! Boaters and waterskiers beware!

[picksbigwagon]

does it have a laser beam in it's head too?

Looks like something from Africa. I seem to remember watching a fishing show last winter and they were catching these off the east coast of africa........

That's a big tiger! I realize the photo is a joke, but it is a matter of fact that bull sharks (the most dangerous of the maneaters) have been caught up to 1,000 miles up the Mississippi River from the Gulf.

"Is it too much to ask to have friggin' lasers put on the sharks' heads?"

Saw those on "The Quest For Big Fish" They seem to be impossible to hook. The host said they'll turn your rapalas to sawdust.

i'll bet i could get a few on a jigging rap through the ice once they move up into the backwaters. may have to get a 22" auger though

Is that the one I have seen people bowfishing for in the South? When I used to be allowed to have MOR they showed guys trolling prety fast in a boat and the fish would jump out of the water, they shoot them with the bow out of the air. I saw a few land in the boat (not shot, just landed there) and it looked pretty exciting. If given the chance I will try to thin the population...

Be afraid.... Very Afraid......

Didn't know the Mississippi flowed through Africa!

[prov1900]

Payara? Pronounced Pie-are-uh. At least I think I'm right. No, I know I am

[ocf1]

Oh yeah, That was in my Aquarium, got to big so I put it and its mate in pool 2.

chris bailey was catching tigers like that on the fly, along with nile perch, near egypt on reel outdoors. you can bet they were hard on their flies.

Wouldn't it be great to fish the Amazon. When I win the lottery thats where I'm going. Peacock Bass, huge catfish, Payaras....maybe a few caimen (little crocodiles)

[andrew chadwick]

That would be a tiger fish, native to africa, not the amazon.

LOL, your picture gave it all away first when you said "Asian."
