Landed 2 trophies last night!
« on: June 06, 2010, 01:41:00 PM »
well we saw alot of fish last night but i had my eyes set on a few big grassies. my new hoyt excel fishing setup worked great on these big guys. the one fish im holding up in both pics almost got away......i hit him and he went straight into a beaver den!! we had to pull him out and get 2 more arrows in him. he wieghed in at 52#. the shorter one weighed 44#. man what a blast!

Man, that looks like a ton of wattage in them string o' lights! I'd be afraid of frying myself!

Nice catch, by the way. That looks like a BLAST!

Wow, Those are two monsters!!

You should have taken the skins off of them, they make gorgeous backing for bows.

Congrats    :clapper:

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

I agree Guru, that would make an awesome bow backing. 44# and 52#! What a rush. How much power does it take to run those lights?

i started to skin them but they were pretty ripe by this morning:) we also saw some huge needlenose gar( like 5 footers). they were quick though. we'll get them next weekend.

owlbait- we use a john deere 6000 continuous wattage genny. it is more than enough and we are usually charging a troller battery off the genny while running the lights.
