Big Head Carp pic
« on: June 17, 2008, 10:23:00 AM »
Got out of work early and went to my bowfishing spot.  Water was murkey and only saw ghostly figures once in awhile that would disapear by the time I drew back.    Went to my last chance spot where the creek from the Missouri river meets the conservation area.  Water was worse, very very muddy.  I noticed a disturbance in the water, so I went to investigate and all I saw was this huge mouth moving water in and out.  I thought what the H3ll is that?  Then it dawned on me, Bighead!! SHOOT!!  

Well there you go.  My first Bighead from the bank.

 

Thats a 58" bow. What do think it weighs?  Felt like 20 ish.
