Turned into a demon! A woman hunted carp in the lake but encountered such a bizarre scene (Picture)

An American woman who was shooting carp with a bow and arrow at the Illinois River reservoir was attacked by a carp - which slapped her in retaliation.

This interesting photo was taken at the Illinois River Reservoir, home to many Asian carp which are known for their aggressive nature. When the boat approached, many of the Asian carp jumped out of the water, prompting those on board to take aim at them with a bow and arrow.

As they pulled back their bowstrings to shoot, suddenly a huge carp leapt out of the water towards the woman holding the bow, striking her hard in the face.
