A large carp flew into the boat, knocking Henry completely backwards with his feet waving in the air. It then scraped across Thomas' head, before smacking Reece in the head.

'Then it hit the side of the boat and it hit me and then there was blood everywhere,' Emily added. Henry, who is 'still processing the trauma', does not want to go on the John boat again, she said.

Emily, who says her children loved the water and fishing before the incident, claimed they are lucky that no one was hurt or fell into the water. She added that the situation serves as a reminder to 'always wear a life jacket'.

This is the hilarious moment a huge Asian carp slapped three young children in the face and sent one of the startled youngsters flying after it leapt into their family's boat.

Emily Carter, of Owensboro, Kentucky, and her husband Brandon took their daughter and two sons out on their new John boat on Sunday, just two hours after purchasing it.

They were on the water for only a few minutes when a large carp flew through the air, whacking their pre-school aged son Henry in the face and onto the floor of the boat near his father, WBKR Radio reported.

Their daughter Reece, a second grader, and youngest son Thomas were also flapped by the fish, causing them to hop into Emily's lap.

The mother-of-three, whose video of the incident has gone viral after amassing more than 35 million views on TikTok, joked that the 'kids are LOVING the new boat!'



The Carter family had just gone out on a pond in West Davis county when the hilarious incident unfolded on Sunday.

'We were on water for maybe a minute and Brandon cranks the engine and fish started to fly everywhere, Emily told the radio station.

She explained that Reece, who is visibly upset at the start of the video, was 'crying in the beginning because one [of the fish] had splashed her and it scared her'.

Emily says the fish had settled down a bit so she decided to pull out her phone to take a 'candid video of the kids being sweet'.

'Thomas was really into it,' she recalled, noting how he was trying to calm his sister down before 'everything broke loose.'

I kinda lolz with the kid on the right

The mom screaming and acting a fool probably contributed more toward their "trauma" than the fish.

Also crying girl on the left makes it pretty obvious someone didn't really want to be there in the first place.

The fish just gave everyone a good out from mandatory fun for a little while.

Carp slaps kid on the face, news at 11.

I lolzed the entire thing.

Looks like the girl was having an unpleasant time before the incident.

I hate those damn fish. Nasty lil dudes who will wreck the inside of a boat.

Fish to the crying girl:

I’ll give you something to cry about !!??????

Little dude in the middle was stoked.... for a second.

The article says she was scared by a fish splashing her but my bet is that her mom just told her she was not getting off the boat until she got some good video of "our happy day on the water"

Good slap!

Ha, get wrecked.

I've killed a lot of fish, so I guess some payback can be expected.

That fish could have fed the whole family!

All fun and games ‘till someone gets a Fin in the Eye!  

Water wings on the smallest boy is .

That mom ain’t helping things by screaming bloody murder.

That’s a big enough fish to do some damage if the boat’s going fast.  Probably make some folks have to change their drawers.

Sure enough, lol.

That was a beautiful three-pin spare.

I feel kinda bad for laughing, but damn

I'm going to hell because I laughed.

And damn what is up with the screaming women always making things worse?

What kind of father buys a tiny ass John boat for a family of 5?
He needs to get a second job and step up and get those kids a 24’ tritoon with a 150 HP Mercury!  

JK, tiny boat better than no boat I guess.   Girl reminds me of my grand daughter. Not happy and will let everyone know it!

I give the fish cool points and gangster rating.

Welcome to the party, pal.

Agreed

We have way too many of those damn fish here . A 20 pound carp hitting someone when you are running down the river can do some damage to a person.  They’ve taken the fun out of boating in places.

Yeah, when I was scrolling down the stills in the OP, I wondered why the girl looked bummed out. Watched the video and the sound of the slaps were freaking hilarious!
thp! thp! thp!

Climate change!

Woman and their ridiculous screaming. You'd think she just saw someone run over by a steam roller

Holy carp!

Fuck you, round eye!

Dude I'm ROLLING with little man going ass over teakettle.

I hope he beat it to death before throwing it back

It would have been funnier if it wasn’t setup. Crying girl knew ahead what was going to happen. Mom conveniently recording.
A1 parenting job. AFV moments at the expense of crotch fruit.

Memories you will cherish forever
