Friday night bigheads
 
Spent a windy night on the Miss River near St. Louis Friday night. Ended up cowering near the lock and dam for shelter from the wind, but shot 40 bigheads from 11:00 till daylight. No big ones though, the biggest went 30 lbs. I shot 32 or 33 of them myself so had to take a break and let the cameramen shoot one or two.:D I will post a pic or two later.

Christine...how did your night go???

I saw more bigheads than I've ever seen... but they were so dang spooky.

We'd shine the spotlight just in the front of the boat and fish would splash away up to 100 yards out. (one freaks... they all freak)

Eventually, we went to just using my hawglite. That worked better but by then it was starting to get light out. So between getting to Carlyle around midnight, launching at the wrong launch,goofing off downstreamand then finally getting up to the dam at 3am,our measley total of 3 bigheads didn't seem so bad.

And, I am not a fan of piles of bloody fish pix, but this shows the night's activities pretty well.

Ya see Christine, youhave to go after those pen raised Bigheads, they aren't nearly as easily spooked by the least little light like wild Bigheads :D Nice photos Robin!

Robin after looking at a map (better late than never) I think where you went is at least a half hour closer than Carlyle. Hmm....

When is the next time you're going out that way?

:)

Most impressive and I'm still looking for a 20lb + bighead, so those all look big to me.

Wow!

I see howshooting the Bigheads can become evan more addictive than regular bowfishing.
