You have to hand it to the Tennessee news anchor in the accompanying video, for at least trying to hold onto an Asian carp while reporting on the invasive nature of these acrobatic fish.
As viewers can see, however, the unnamed anchor quickly loses her cool once the 12-pound fish twitches in her hands, then flops onto the deck of the small boat.
At least she managed to keep her sense of humor and laugh throughout this amusing ordeal, during which she knocked over a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency employee and nearly jumped off the vessel to escape the floundering fish.
To be sure, this is footage most fishermen will appreciate, and for more than just the comedic value.
Flip flops?
