Fish flying into your boat isn't your typical type of fishing. But at the Redneck Fishing Tournament, it's more than common.

Fishing is often looked at as a peaceful activity, but here on the Illinois River, it’s anything but calm.

"The fish were huge this year. We dodged more than we probably caught, but it was a lot of fun," John Patterson, a participant, said.

Boats set out onto the Illinois River on Friday with one mission, to catch as many Asian Carp as possible.
