Default New BAA record bighead carp. 85lbs!!

Congrats to Chris Reeves of Alabama who shot this giant bighead carp. Weighing in at a certified 85lbs it becomes the new Bowfishing Association of America record bighead carp. It easily beats the previous record bighead which weighed 49lbs.

That's quite a fish!

I don't know what kind of reel he used but I do know that the fish was taken with muzzy points and oneida bows. The fish was shot first by Chris and then a second 'insurance' arrow was put in it by his father Scott.
