Yee-Haw! Finally SHOT some today!

[LookMa-NoHands!]

I decided to hit the river this afternoon with the bow. I'm glad I did.

I shot a few carp, most 10-15lbs, but I did get one mirror that went about 24 lbs, and a few that were around 20. Most of the carp I just let swim.

The cool thing are the suckers I saw. The biggest was an honest to God 10+lbs. Right at my feet-and of course I missed! I have NEVER seen one anywhere near the size of this fish.

I shot several 5-6 lbs, had one just under 7lbs@27". Maybe tommorow will be my day.........

Anyways, it was nice to get some blood, guts, and eggs on my hands. Maybe I'll run into my big buddy tommorow.

Good shootin.......}}}---------------->

Man sounds like you got into the fish congrats 24 pounds would be awesome, maybe some weekend we could drive up your way and see if we could stick a few of those hogs also,What river are you in up there.

[CARPN-JAKE]

Congrats guys...way to put the stickin to em! Bowfishin season is upon us!!

[LookMa-NoHands!]

I was shooting in the Maumee River.

I wouldn't make the drive up quite yet. Yeah, there are some big carp now, but in a few weeks there will be more 20lb'ers than you care to shoot. It is still kinda early for carp. I was after suckers today.

You guys are more than welcome to come up and shoot some fish with me. We grow 'em pretty big up here. Hopefully I can get out on the Lake soon. Now THAT is an experience.

Jake knows what time it is! LOL.............smack!

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Thanks for the offer, we will make the trip up this summer for sure.

[Thunderflight]

[Q2XL]

went back to where caribou got his last night and saw close to 50 carp.i got one that weighed an awsome18 lbs.:D man what a pig got him close to the bank and had to have dear hunter shoot him again.nothin like a 2 arrow fish huh.

[george tinkham]

[Ðe§perado™]

Why not george?

[carpwarrior]

good to hear every bodys startin to c some good fish.
CLARENCE it was good to finally get to meet you, had a good time , lets get together again, soon !!!!

[Ðe§perado™]

It was great to have you over this way. Going out in the boat was fun , even with all the white caps on the lake...LOL.
I'm glad you made it back home ok. Let me know when you want to get together again. I had a blast!

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Come on now tell the truth here q2xl:D

Way to go!you sure are making it hard early in the season A

[Q2XL]

did i put 18 lbs. i meant 8 lbs.:cool:

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Dang had me going for a min. there

[george tinkham]

the man bought em specifically for the purpose of controlling weeds.proll wouldnt mind me shootin bass since he deems them worthless killer predators

[Ðe§perado™]

You know george some people feel that way about bass, others will go nuts if you just hurt one bass. Go figure with people nowadays.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

I'll go for shooting bass,Good eaten there:D

[Ðe§perado™]

There might be some states you can shoot them. In Alaska you can shoot northern pike all day long. They are a problem there like our carp is here.

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Northern pike now that would be a thrill on the old arrow,plus good eatting to:D To bad Alaska is so far away

[Ðe§perado™]

Thats so true. Shoot one and they might bite you ...LOL:D ;)

[carpwarrior]

there is nothing wrong with shooting bass , aslong as you dont get caught. hehehehehehheheheheh,

[Ðe§perado™]

This true, what they don't know won't hurt you...LOL

[george tinkham]

yup if you are going to eat it so what you shoot it with a bow...you can shoot deer with a bow...why not a bass and contrary to what a bass angler society fisher might say bout em being not good eatin,i beleeve they are very good just fryed golden brn...thats just catch and release propaganda(put em back so i can make money from ketchin em).

[Ðe§perado™]

I see you point George. just have to many bandwagon people crying if bass could be shot with a bow.

[george tinkham]

to some they mean only money

[Ðe§perado™]

Thats true, money makes everything happen in the world.

[george tinkham]

same for huntin...got some real hustlers out there and i must admit they snag me too often

[Whit_1]

I don't know if we should even be joking about shooting sport fish on this forum. If the wrong person were to read the posts that you guys are putting on here it could cause some problems..All it takes is for one person like BUCKTAIL to print out those posts and send them to all of his other PETA members and then the person or persons who wrote them will have to explain that they were only jokeing. We don't need to deal with that kind of negative attention..Just my thoughts on the subject...

[Caribou Dreamer2]

Good point there whit_1

[Ðe§perado™]

True, but reading it they should see we are joking. You make a good point Mark.

[george tinkham]

its all in fun i'd rather play a bass in on micro light gear and then release him...this is as bad as someone complainin over shootin carp...peta don't care if its a carp or a bass or a deer...dont go squeemish on us...

[Ðe§perado™]

lol...true george.

[Whit_1]

I'm not loseing my nerve I just don't want someone like Bucktail taking quotes out of context and useing them for his own personal agenda..Its just not anything that we need to be joking about.But maybe some of the guys that are always in here who don't really BOWFISH want it that way???I don't want to give anyone who is on the fence a reason to fall off!!
