Day 34 - mm 341, somewhere in Illinois

Nothing special today, didn't get on the river until 2pm. Had a great fried fish breakfast at the Cow. Another really hot day. When we were about near Lock 20, we passed by a school of Asian Jumping Carps, about 100 of them, varies from 10 to 20 lbs suckers. They got freaked out and jumped everywhere. They hit the boat straight on a few times. It feels like we were hit by a baseball bat. I managed to punch one and my fist was covered in slime. The boat next to us, the back guy got hit on the side, while the front guy got hit right on the lips. That same damn fish fell onto his boat and flopped around making a white bloody mess. If we weren't trying to race to the lock to avoid being locked in, he would have kept that damn 15 lb-er. Our friend got all slimy trying to get the thing out of his canoe.
