A rowing crew from Washington University in St. Louis was practicing in Creve Coeur Lake when they rowed through a school of Asian carp. The invasive species didn’t like the disturbance from the nearby motorboat, and jumped into the air to show their feelings. One of the seats was lost in the attack, but I believe the students are okay. There’s no mention of whether any fish were left in the boat- I hear they are pretty good eatin’. -via Arbroath

I've heard of 'catching a crab', but this is a whole new hazard for rowers.

So this is where they got the idea for the jumping fish in the Mario games.

If a fish lands inside, I guess it's sort of equivalent to roadkill.
