Any of you have these fish in your lakes? More and more have come to ky lake!! I believe in 4 to 5 years watersports won't be taking place here. I hear when they come they take over

its really sad, if these things get in the Colorado River and California lakes there will be riots. These fish are spreading the country. Some people have gotten killed from being hit by them.

Those videos of the dudes in armor suits with swords wakeboarding through them is how we will be riding for real.

Not that I have heard of. It sucks to think that my kids will only be able to watch wakeboarding in movies or pictures unless we packed up and went to another lake/river that doesn't have them

I ride the Illinois River and and have for about 15 years. They are everywhere but for the most part they are not a problem with inboard boats unless you get in really shallow water I have only had a few jump close to me or any of the other riders with me. So no big deal with them for us.

Just watched the video. That is hilarious!! I normally ride in the area that it was filmed and like I said with a inboard boat you will not have fish jumping like that. Outboards are what really get them jumping for some reason. And it is getting very popular here to bow hunt them. The army cor of engineers are trying everything they can here to keep them from getting north to the great lakes but I don't know if they will be able to stop them.
