Last week , a super nice couple , stayed at our RV park for one night. After hours cooped up in a truck , they were ready for a stretch and asked to rent 2 kayaks . He went behind our Island , the wife came out from behind , he didn't for several minutes . When he came out by himself , he was paddling slowly and paddled into one of our coves , a bit shallow with drought and I now had a clear view of him. Just as the kayak was fully inside the small narrow cove , the water exploded , with water flying in excess of 10' high and at that he was screaming and paddling backwards as fast as he could. My first thought was that he had surprised a very large beaver that jumped into water for safety . But no , when was he calmed down, he explained , he had paddled over possibly 3 40" plus Grass Carp and they exploded in 2-3 ft water all around him . He then accused me of training GC to attack Kayakers , because the reason he was paddling so slow out from behind the island was the same thing happened behind the island , with one big difference. He jumped a school of GC and his attention was on a GC semi trapped between him and the bank which was quite fascinating , when another GC smacked him in the back of the head very, very hard , the family story time word he used was "stunning him " , The GC slid down his back butting him with it's head and slapping him with it's tail . His hair, neck, back of shirt, all covered with red mud , FA, and soaked . Therefore I add another way of removing large GC , simply grab them when they jump in your kayak with you obviously in a panic, and while you have control of the situation (recommend you have a BIL pilot the kayak and affect the arrest ) capture the GC . They did go ahead and spend the night at our campground , with considerable laughter with other campers , and kayak rental money in MY pocket.
