Default First year highlights

I haven't been on the forum much this summer but you helped me out allot this spring when I was trying to learn to bowfish and had no clue what to do. Here are pictures of some of the highlights of my first year of bowfishing, or as I like to call it, fish hunting! Sorry I am making several posts but I could not figure out how to put more than 2 pictures in a post without taking up too much space.
My two biggest fish, a 25 pound Buffalo, and 16 pound carp.

Some practice with bluegill, I somehow managed to hit bluegill this size on three straight shots! Is it rare to hit 2 carp on one shot like this? I have doene it twice this year but didn't get a picture the other time.

Man, looks like you've laying into 'em pretty hard!

Yeah, getting a "double" on fish doesn't happen every day, but it's fun when it does... I think I've only shot doubles on carp once, Tilapia abt 2-3 times.

Posting multiple pics is a bit of a pain, but I think I've finally got it figured out...

If I remember right, you have to type-in the photobucket "http://...." code, with on the back, no spaces.

I'd type it all out here, but then the site would try to put a picture in...

Good job on the fishing (hunting).

BP

Hungry Cow,
Make sure your state's fishing regulations allow you to take bluegill with a bow. They are considered game fish up by me, and are not legal for spearing or bowfishing.

Nice job on the carp and that is one heck of a buff!
Congrats on a good first year.
Glad you got some good info here.

Yeah, here in Texas they are not considered game fish. We can shoot gills, crappie and the famous tilapia.
