Fun with Carptracker
 

We went out Saturday for about 9 hours, and I just wanted to thank Duane for asking me along. He had three newbies, including his son, so I bought another reel so I could have five bows set up. He brought his pontoon and we floated the Missouri. The weather was cloudy and windy at first, making it impossible to see the fish, so we went arial. It’s quite a challenge to hit airborn fish, but I finally hit one after several had jump into the boat. After the sun came out, we were able to use the troller in places, and Duane got one he didn’t even see. He just shot in front of it’s wake. His son Caleb hit several out of the air, but all pulled off. His friend Jeff shot one as it flopped back into the water off the back of the pontoon. These fish were hitting hard, too. The pontoon has dents all down the side and back from them. Then, near the end of the trip, a twenty-pounder sot out of the water and drilled me in the baby makers. We got three gallon bags packed with fillets out of them. Overall, a good trip, and I think the newbies had a blast.

Cool story.
Sounds like a lot of fun!

Iheard those Silvers could dent your nards, but I hadn't heard about them denting boats too.
It looks like you beat the tar out of the one that nailed you.
Can't blame ya. I would have too. :D

I know a guy that wants to go after them with a baseball bat (he doesn't post here) and he plans to wear some plasticmotocross armor and a facemask.
