My father and I went to a few spots along the Illinois river today and we shot a few nice fish. I started the day with a 15lb Silver Carp. After that we shot several 5-8 pound Silvers along with a few gar. As we were shooting a barge passed by and the silvers started to jump. My first shot on a airborn silver landed. I had my first airborn silver. That was a cool feeling.We took a short drive to a different spot and I shot a few more silvers, a nice grassie and a 14lb Bighead. My dad got a few nice size gar.Altogether it was a good day of bowfishing.
