$100 dogfish (Dogzilla)
« on: May 02, 2010, 02:29:00 PM »
KHALVERSON,his boy Damien and I made it out for our maiden voyage of the season. We ended up shooting 26 fish, just under 200 pounds. Damien was killin' em with an old K-Mag. Kevin had a brand new Samick, and I shot my Carbon film dipped Zipper. We quit after just 2 hours because our bucket was almost full. Kevin should be along to add pics. I called Dogzilla a $100 dogfish because a few years ago I won $100 at the G.L.B.C. with a dogfish smaller than that.
Two Tracks, we have room for one more in the boat    :D

Bowfin: also called Grinnel (not sure of the spelling.) Heck of a lot of fun to catch on a cane pole, too.
Looks like a lot of fun guys. I really need to find time to go bowfishing again.

Mudd, I'll make sure we get better pics next time. The dogfish range from that gray color to a green and have a bright "eye" spot on the tail. Very primitve type of fish and very tough. Great fight if you don't shoot them in the head  :archer2:

Looks like a great day on the lake!The average carp around here is on 4-5 lbs.
One question, do you think that a dogfish spends most of his day chaseing a catfish?  :bigsmyl:   I know, I know, that was much to easy but, I couldent resist.

I don't shoot them during the day Bill but it sure could happen! Ol' Black Beauty shot great as her new role of bowfishing/back-up bow. Should've seen the blood and mud all over her! Chuck, when can you go and do you want to come all the way up here? I'm checking with  Kevin Halverson to see what we can arrange.

I never heard them called dogfish but I sure know a grinnel or bowfin. One that's anywhere near 2 lbs can turn over a 12' jon boat. Don't ask how I know..lol

Thanks!
