Great photos guys, gotta love bowfishing.  Here are a few shots from a trip my brother and I took from last season. I use an old Hoyt huntmaster recurve.

Deadsmple,
Is that a Hoyt Hunter or Target Supreme bow that you've got there for bowfishing? I use one a lot like it...except it ain't quite so shiny! :bigsmyl:

Bowhuntingfool, Jason’s correct its a spoonbill catfish.  The eggs from this wary creature is what we call caviar.  We’ve cleaned and ate quit a few of them.  They have very tasty white meat when dunked in batter and laid in a hot basket of grease.  Another interesting fact is their spine. It's not bone its cartilage.  When cleaning one you can score around the tail and pull it right out.  Looks like a giant trick worm.

I shot a few last year with a 45# recurve and had trouble getting good penetration most of my arrows pulled out, it didnt even go infar enough for the barbs of the arrow to grab the fish.
any ideas on that. The only thing I thought was I was short drawing the bow.

I would suggest Power Pro line. It is kinda like spider wire. Really strong stuff. You might wanna get some with color so you dont think that you lost an arrow when your line hits the water. Oh yeah and if you like all your fingers dont grab the line when a fish is on.
