Bowfishing Big Fish Contest '08
 

Alrighty everybody, start posting those big fish you've taken.

This is really just for bragging rights and fun. (tho' if I can scrape something up for the winners, I will!)

Post your biggest carp, gar, buffalo, etc.. We'll break the winners up by fish category. Winners determined by weight.

Contest runs until Oct 1st.

I don't think I'm even going to bother trying to enter this year. It's already won.:eek:

You big wuss Chris.

Darin has to post his fish for it to count. Darin? Darin? ;)

Besides, he's just got the bighead division. Rodney has a great common carp there, but there's still a chance someone will score a bigger one. Then there's the gar... buffalo.. etc.

I would like to enter the bighead contest..

How about Ugliest Boat? I could enter the P.O.S. Slimebucket.

Here's my new PB common from my local river which only avg's. 4 lbs. a fish. He was almost 21 lbs. and I was surprise to see him after walking the banks for a mile or so.

Longnose Gar, shot this afternoon. 11 lbs even, 45 inches long.

We did a terrible job shooting partly due to weather conditions, partly our own fault- missing more than 2 dozen times and only getting two in the boat, and this one was a monster. My brother missed another just before that which I estimate was 6" longer. The story is short and sweet - the sun when behind a cloud so I just saw a vague deep outline of it about 20 feet out. It was at least 15" down but my snap shot was on for once. It didnt fight much suprisingly.

Quick question: do gar steaks taste any good? I am going to try it, the cuts are huge!
