Ya just gotta laugh sometimes.
I’m sure this reporter still laughs about this one.
Not everyone loves holding fish. Right off the hop, I would say this lady is one of them, or at least, seems pretty inexperienced. It’s one of those things, that if you don’t get right in there, it will get a way from you quickly.
Carp are a problem in North America. They are taking over many watersheds that they have been introduced too, and are now outcompeting nearly all fish native to these areas.
This has been a source for news for years as these invasive species move and take over new areas. This news reporter was covering a piece on carp and getting up close and personal with the species to talk about the problem.
She is seen out on a boat with a fish and game officer talking about the problem, even holding a carp to showcase the species. The carp had other plans though, and takes a flip to the bottom of the boat. It starts to flip around and she takes out a fish and game officer to avoid the flopping fish.
At least she can laugh it off… because it is hilarious.
