I went bowfishing for the first time this year on spring break in Florida. The first day it was really windy and cloudy so I just got some invasive ugly sucker catfish, don't know what they are called. Then today I went back out and it was still windy but I did better and got 3 tilapia, a mullet, and a bowfin. I was happy with 3 new species in one day! I also had 2 tilapia, 2 mullet, and a bowfin about twice as big as this one come off after I hit them. The big bowfin wrapped me around a tree and untwisted the tip. I always regret it when I don't use the garpon tips! I heard the carp are getting ready to spawn back in Tennessee, can't wait to get back and hunt some.

here are the tilapia

Nice!

Those are plecostomus suckers. Weird looking critters.

Great bowfin and I sure would like to get into some tilapia. Congrats.

Yup. Plecos! We shoot them all the time. I can't stand touching those things. I never felt a fish that had sand paper for skin! LOL!! Great Job.

Nice Job! That makes a spring break to remember.

Sturgeon feel like sand paper too. Atleast the sand sturgeon I caught walleye fishin did. WCL

I'd really like to shoot some plecos and of course, tilapia. Things that you don't see in IL. (other than in a pet store or grocery store)

One of these days, I'm going to Florida.
