• Crazy carp invade Missouri's rivers, jumping into boats and injuring occupants

  
  

  A state fisheries biologist motoring near Columbia had a filling knocked out of his tooth by a high-flying fish that struck him on the side of the head. Another state biologist in the St. Charles area was seriously hurt when he was hit by a giant carp.

  
  

  The carp were brought to private fish hatcheries from Asia by the aquaculture industry.

  
  

  "The sound of a propeller under water makes these fish go crazy."
