Earlier this month, a fishing tournament was held in Illinois that for one, has a REALLY cool name.

The annual Redneck Fishing Tournament brought fishing enthusiasts from around the country to Bath, Illinois, along the Illinois River, to snatch Asian Carp from the river.

The Asian Carp get scared by the sound of motor boats and literally launch themselves out of the water as boats go by.
 

Crews in the boats then try to catch Carps as they fly through the air.

To view participants catching the fish, see the videos above from John Patterson.
The top team caught 346 fish in just two hours, according to organizer Nikki Gregerson, but that team wasn’t the biggest winner of the event.

One winner was the community, which got together for a weekend of fun that included food, music and fishing fun.
