It's so hot in Texas! How hot is it? It's killing fish! No need to get your fishing rods and bait ready, because these fish are already belly up!

Over at Calaveras Lake in San Antonio, Texas, dead fish are washing up on the edges of the lake and experts are saying it's definitely the high temperatures!

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the incident is likely due to low oxygen levels from the current high temperatures- and according to the experts and the locals, it happens at least once or twice a year!

But what exactly does that mean? According to News 4 San Antonio Meteorologist Chris Suchan, here's how excessive heat can affect the water and the fish:

Fish kills like this are a result of a low amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Warm water holds less dissolved oxygen than colder water and goes without saying, our brutally hot summer months raise the lake temperature quite a bit, especially when nights have a hard time cooling below 80.

Red drum and shad fish appear to be the majority of those killed.

It seems a little insane that the heat is even causing fish to be affected! It's August and Texas is still reaching triple-digit heat; parts of Texas are even under an excessive heat warning! And it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime near.

Until we can begin to feel the nice, crisp air of fall, we all have to continue enduring the heat as best we can- and now that includes the fish.
