Only in Peoria

[BuB]

This is a stretch to put in the general sports section. Maybe call it "sport fishing in Peoria." I don't know but its a hilarious video made by some Peoria kids. Delete if it is deemed unworthy of these pages.

I hope the PETA people don't see that!

That's funny. I have seen TV coverage of the Redneck fishing tournament held each summer. Does anyone know those guys in the video?

This video made to some national publications- this one has an interview with the carp-hunters at the bottom.

one an episode of Swamp People last night they needed some bait for their gator lines, so they raced their boat thru the shallows and the carp just jump in the boat...get sliced up and used for bait...

I know a couple family members of one of the guys. I think it's hilarious.
