I'll let Ken tell his side of it. I got to go for about an hour and a half. We saw some good size grassies messing around way out in the middle but well out of retriever range and even out of workable spincaast range. I had just put new line on the Muzzy reel and it shoots pretty good.
With only about ten minutes before I was gonna hafta go ta work, I decided to take a swing. Well the first shot was at least 5 yards short. Think about that for a second. I knew it was a long shot and I still came up shorter than most of our shots are. LOL Now Ken is laghing at me and I felt bad about spooking the fish so that he might not get a shot and by the time I got my arrow back the fish is back right where he was before. Ken says "you didn't eeven worry him." I said "I will this time" and drew back, held even higher than before and let 'er rip. It's kinda coll to listen to line sreaming out of your reel for that long. I could see that I was right on target but the line didn't take off. The fish sure did though. True to my word, I worried him that time. I can't tell you I hoit or missed but either way there wasn't much KE left by the time the arrow got to him. Since Ken was on the other side of the cove and had a broadside view of the shot I asked "how far was that shot?". His answer "45 yards."
