Leaping carp...no kidding.  A number of motor boat occupants have been  
injured on the Illinois River.

I'm sure there is YouTube of them...I've seen videos where passing  
boats spur dozens to leap out of the water at once.

I think for kayakers it would be like swatting some of mosquitoes in  
Lake of The Woods or northern Maine...
