RE: weird looking buffalo-carp.
Oh. Ok. COOL!!!
I SHOT MY FIRST BIGMOUTH BUFF TODAY!!!
It was 11 pounds even.
I also shot another 12 fish. I had a great morning. My troller is a little under-powered for the weed growth out there, so I push-poled it about 90% of the time. It's pretty hard to run down fish with a push-pole. I tried to catch up to a gar I'm sure was a short-nose. I don't remember seeing them there before, but I'm positive the one I saw today was one. But he got away. I also saw a common I'm sure would've gone over 20 pounds, but again, couldn't catch up with out spooking him. And all the fish I shot were in an area we never usually go. All I did was follow my ears. I could hear them sucking the surface, so I'd just push-up to the nearest one and WHACK!! I could have shot a hundred fish today if I had time, but I'm happy with a baker's dozen.
