When my parents were considering buying into what eventually became our real estate company in the BVI they were being entertained at a cocktail party on Long Bay beach in the twilight. Suddenly my father took off his shirt and shoes and waded into the ocean. A minute later he came back to the party carrying a twenty-pound tuna. My mother turned to the president and said, "guess we're buying in."

Sure it looks funny, but those fish are out of season.

At 150.00 each thats getting expensive.

I really don't know that..but it would be my luck.

No really officer they just jumped in the boat...

They have them in the upper Mississippi river now. Are they any good to eat?

No...Jump Fish are Tarpon, and they're not good to eat.

I was not able to view the link, but from the discussion, they sound like Asian Carp. Sounds like you can eat them according to this link:

Definitely Asian Carp, figured only Asains ate them, find it ironic that one fisherman is trying to open up into the Asian market. Is it like, they don't have any anymore, and they are all here now?

On a lighter note, they can be made to jump out of the water with a small electrical charge placed into the water. I imagine an hour or so to fill a boat like in the video.

Walter, it's very real. Check out the plethora of videos on you tube showing the live fish being scaled, sliced, scored, and then dropped in a frying pan while the head is held out to keep it alive. The beating heart is the best part according to what I've read.

It is done to show your guests that you honor them by serving them fresh fish. They know it is fresh because it is still breathing. It is very common in asian culture to do this.

That's the kind of stuff that gives PETA ammunition and sympathies to support their attacks on those of us who fish and hunt. Ugh! Attack those restaurants instead!

I don't do sushi and if a fish did that to me in a restraunt I would be out of there.

And I thought that was shot at your restaurant Brewster!! Yuck!!

Invasive carp threatens Great Lakes

By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY

Fish and wildlife officials will poison a 6-mile stretch of water near Chicago on Wednesday in a last-ditch effort to keep one of the most dangerous invasive species of fish, the Asian carp, out of the Great Lakes.

The Asian carp, a voracious eater that has no predators and negligible worth as a commercial or sport fish, now dominates the Mississippi and Illinois rivers and their tributaries.

The fish has entered the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal â€” a man-made link between the Mississippi River system and the Great Lakes â€” and is knocking on the door of Lake Michigan. Once inside a Great Lake, the carp would have free rein in the world's largest freshwater ecosystem, imperiling the native fish of the lakes and a $7 billion fishing and recreation industry.

I agree, these people ate our POW's in WWII so nothing would surprise me in their cruelty to anything.
