ORIGINAL: carpsniper

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."

If he is a lyin I am a dyin....I have never seen someone try that far of a shot and even get close!!!!! I bow in amazement You are the true world champion! lol..... I would almost swear that the arrow bounced off of that fish by the time it reached him......

After Kendall left (I think he was cramping my style....) I began to look at all of the catfish comming up to the food I was chumming with. I just did not understand why none of the carp were comming up.....The I started to look a little deeper into the water and.........VIOLA! There they were! It was a ratio of 1 common for every 5 catfish but I began seeing them.....I shot 3 (not mentioning how many I missed [:-]) The problem was they were on average, 20-30 lb commons and I kept getting pull-offs even with complete pass-throughs! I got one about 30lb onto the shore then the arrow pulled out when he was 2 feet on the dry stuff then he floped twice then back into the drink he went.....I watched as he swam towards the other shore; looked as if he was dancing the funky chicken then he went belly up.....

I am going to be going back out there this Wednesday afternoon (on the 8th). I get off of work at 2, it takes me about 5 min to get there.
