We shot a lot of big fish on this night and don't have pics of all of them. It was as good as it gets for big fish.
It was just meant to be for Cade and Curt to be along on this night. We had tried to save this spot until they arrived but we never dreamed it would be as good as it was that night.
Cade was a machine and he did not need any help from us...all he needed was something to shoot at!

Skyler gettin' it done!

I'd finally gotten my first gar!

Right after Don took that picture of me with the gar I spotted a big buff in the weeds and got a good hit but the arrow pulled right out when I got some tension on it.....

I'd never flipped my barb back over and tightened the tip back up on my Muzzy point....it slid right back off    :knothead:

It started to rain on us around 12 and we decided to call it a great night and head home. The following is just a few of the fish we drug out of the boat for a few quick pics......

I have no idea how much that fish of mine weighed in the pic with me and Sky, but as you can see from my face...it was heavy!

I must be getting weak...Skyler sure isn't strugglin' like me    :(

What an awesome night of bowfishing, the best I've ever experienced with two of my very, very best friends....and my boy breaking out like he did.....I never would have thought....I was one proud fella...he was awesome!

This was only the first night of three!

More tomorrow    ;)

Looks like a hoot!  Next time you blink Curt, that little guy is going to be walking around shows picking up 70# recurves and pulling them back behind his ear for fun...trust me.

Man what a great trip you four had.Congrats to all !.Cade has become a Carps worst nightmare.This should be a great confidence builder for his first year in the deer woods with a bow in hand.I know the effort that you  have put into helping Cade getting some fish in the boat.Great job.A year older,bigger,and a few more inches of draw has surely made the difference.After fishing in that sweet bowfishing rig and Carpageddon I hope he will settle for a float in the canoe.Glen

Great pictures and what a hoot.  My favorite picture is the one with Cade leaning into and pulling on the line with both hands.  I'll bet he was one tired pup after that outing.  :saywhat:

Congrats to Cade and to you too Curt. I know how proud you are.   Enjoy him all you can now. My youngest of 3 boys turned 21 Back in September.


Hey, Is Sky's bow an old Hoyt GameGetter? If so I haven't seen one of those in years. I had a compound and recurve with the same risers. Great shootn bows.

Good stuff guys. Don

Hello Don, yes they are old Hoyt GameGetters. We have 2 of them that Dad bought in the late '80's.
We have a Rambo, which is the same riser, that we are converting to a recurve also.
