Next year we might wanna put the shorter people in the forun...look at how many people u can't see!

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

hey scribe, just sent you a message. horseshoe is about an hour from me, and I'm always interested in some killin. Have you shot there much?

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Well I started bow fishing last year without a boat and did extremly well there last year just in waders off the bank. I have been scouting with my boat a bit this year and its looking good so far. There is a endless supply of gar to shoot. Also lots of buffalo and carp. All decent size and I have seen a few monsters out there as well. If you would be interested in going let me know. I can give you any info you need and show you a few spots to go. Getting rid of the fish is usually pretty easy also. There is a road that goes across the lake and people fish off of it all the time. The majority of the people fishing there will take pretty much any fish you will give them. Either shoot me a e-mail or give me a call. 618-709-2984.

Hey Kyle...me and matt was talkin and we may come up for a weekend.

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments

What do you think Christine, Orange Alert? na na na na nah

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Robow, I gotta vote for you on this one buddy.
If you can thump everybody but Slim at Rend under those weather conditions, you should have at least an orange.

...The next shoot will determine if it was a fluke. ;)

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Hey, I'm living in the present tense here, because I know it wasa fluke, but don't tell Christine that.

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Wow, that's the biggest group yet, isn't it?

Hey, that's my partner standing there in second place! I thought you couldn't make the shoot and that's why 'we' weren't going.

Aww man....was it because my boat's so ugly?

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Thanks Christine for posting though...:D...I seem to be having problems loading them here...[:@]

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Thanks Bowman.......I shoot with a Canon 40D...it actually cost more than my hub's boat thoughso be careful if you get into another hobby......they all are expensive anymore....lol

And finally same one as earlier but this is the negative...

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Damn I hate missing these!

Don't worry about Dr. Rob Billy; Mark and I will be back on a boat together and we'll be gunnin' for him.

I know waht you mean Bambam about another expensive hobby. I have about 6, and photography has been one for a while, although I know I'm not in as deep as you. I had a nice Cannon AE-1 a long time ago and it got me started. Now I have a nice Kodak digital and I love it. All I have as far as accessories for it are 2 tripods and an extra card. It gets me by.



I wish you would have gotten another picture of this guy. I assume this is Chris' bowfin?

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

I did get another shot of that fish it's the next picture as well......On that shot I muted all the red in the photo so you all would have a better view of the green fins and such..

We have a few kodak's as well Bowman.....my first one was my fav.....just a little ol point and shoot kodakz760...I liked it so much because it fit in my back pocket if we went to the woods or fishing...
My other one is a Kodak easy share 710 and it's ok but I don't like it as much as my first one for some reason....

Even Milky works the easy share kodak...lol

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Bambam,

What was the IS lense you were using...not the L series, but the standard zoom? I want to upgrade glass on my 20D and was very impressed with the lense you had.

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

On alot of the photos I used a 18-85is canon lens...Several folkz suggested that I get that one and it's been a good lens IMO......On the other site IM on southern illinois outdoors we have shoot-outs sometimes and your more than welcome to come along if your ever down this way...:)

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Thanks for the info. That's the lens I've been looking at.

RE: The Tournament...Pictures & Comments
 

Actually that one was shot during the tourney, not sure by whom.

Mine from the spillway afterwards was a female (no green fins).
It was my first bowfin ever, and only the second one I've seen.
