Asian carp have invaded America, they number in the billions and are slowly destroying inland ecosystems and forcing out other species. Carp are terrible to eat, living in muddy water all their lives and absorbing that mud-like taste, and they're not terribly exciting to catch.

When this group of blokes were out wakeboarding on a muddy river in the USA, they quite literally ran into a problem. Fish were leaping out of the water behind the boat and slamming into the wakeboarder behind. Not ideal when you're trying to pop a raley off the wake, but luckily, one bright spark in the boat was a footy player, and he had an idea.

Picture a guy, sporting a pair of waterskis, life jacket, gridiron helmet and a fishing net, as he gets towed behind a boat. Fish are flying out of the water everywhere, hitting him in the face, bouncing off his legs and occasionally landing in the net that the guy is waving around. Once he's caught a fish, he rides over to an inflatable tube, containing a garbage bin and a mini basketball net. You guessed it, the fish is slam dunked through the net into the bin, and he continues waving his net in the air. His mates are laughing hysterically in the background, you're laughing, trying not to spray your morning coffee onto your iPad, and all afternoon you're shaking your head and giggling at these crazy blokes.

Wait, don't picture it, watch the most amazing fishing technique you'll see this week, right here!
