Well iwent out fishing by my self at my lake a few days ago. I actually remembered to bring my bow this time and when i got a little tired fishing i pulled the ol' bow out to rid the pond of a few carp. first shot was a "two birds with one stone". I shot the snapper on accident, i thought it was a carp swimming under my boat and i let the arrow fly. Pretty damn scary to pull a 15 pound snapping turtle up when you are expecting a nice safe carp! Oh well the turtles need to be thinned out also so it was a plus. Crappy pics, was from the cellphone. Oh and there are a few slabs we caught yesterday after work. 2.5 pounds each. to compare, i wear a size 12 shoe.

Them are some kick ass crappies!! That snapper is going to be delicious as well!!

Those crappie are perfect examples of QPM(quality pond management). For about 10 years out of the 15 years we have had this land, my brother and i have been putting TONS of trees in. Those were taken out of a 30 acre farm pond that doesnt go deeper than 12 feet. We also pull 10 pound bass outta there and 15-25 pound channel cats consistently. its a amazing the say the least

Congrats! Looks like fun. I'll be making my first ever bow fishing trip next weekend, you've got me all fired up now!

very cool

Nice slabs, Im going to try and find some tomorrow mornin.

wow thats awesome!

Nice shootin, be careful those bigsnappers pack a mean punch

Nice penetration on that turtle... didn't think you could put an arrow through both sides like that!

That's about as UNhappy as I have ever seen a turtle look.
Sweet.
