Default First Fish Challenge Result's

Ok everyone here we go the moment weve all been waiting for. The three boat tourney took place last night at Clinton Lake. It was chilly but tolerable for a while, there was a variety of things inthe barrels after we were done.
The official first fish of the year goes to Mark "Snuffy" Mc Cleester with a time of 6:42p.m.
The big fish pot was won by Snuffy also with a common carp weighing 6#8 ounces, with a $35.00 payout.
The official countdown took place at the boat ramp under the watchfull eye Uncle Dave Randolph. At which time Johnny B. showed everyone the buck reamains and antlers we found while bowfishing one of two bucks we found.
First place: CIRFCU Kendall and Christine, Chris 26 commons
Second Place: Steffa's Stickers Mikey and Drew 12 commons
Third place: Snuffy's Snipers Mark Johnny and Bill 10 commons

Total of: 48 common's onthe first outing.........

Congrats to Snuffy. First fish and then the big fish, well done!

Thanksto Uncle Dave. He didn't get to shoot any but stopped by to be the official picture taker, weigh-in judge and welcoming committee. Thanks Dave.

What a great night. If the temperature had been ten degrees warmer, there would have been daylight in those photos.

Snuffy's Snipers get ready.




The Carp Cadaver gets ready to boat it's first bowfishing victims.


And here are the Cadaver's first fish.



The CIRFCU crew took 26 carp. Bulzeye actually got the biggest fish of the night, but he arrived too late to get in the big fish pot. []

Like Kendall said had it been warmer we would have stayed until daylight. What a great night. With goodfriends and Bow in hand what more could you want?There was absolutley no wind, water was like glass, although it was cloudy. We saw just about everything. After finding the Two dead bucks, we seen coon, lots of Opossums, muskrat,and Godzilla Beaver. This thing looked like a brown bear waddling along. But after a few hours on the water the cold seeped in and really got to you. It was in the 50's when we left to go out and 32 when we came in. Even was back home and in the rack by 1:30. good time's by all.
