how high can the average fish jump?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I saw a fishing show with this guy who caught a barricuda and this thing jumped 20-30 feet in the air. The second time it jumped it cam right at him and landed in the boat. Truly amazing jumper, I never thaught a fish can jump like that!
 
when transporting my aro from a cooler to the 150gal, i swear that mofo jumped atleast 36" with only 10" of water and he's about 24" long... 1 hard leap and BOOM, flappin all over the ground as i try to grab him lol. now his top fin is all crappy looking :(

Come one now 20-30feet? Youve got to be kidding. Ive caught plenty of barracuda and perhaps 6ft at the most. Dont get me wrong 6ft is enough to jump into anyboat. My favorite is king mackeral. Its an awesome site watching one rocket out of the water. They look like a damn ballistic missile coming out of a sub when the do that!
