Default weird night of bowfishing...

Went to Evergreen last night. We didn't see many carp and fewer quillies.

It was soon evident why...


This may have been the lagest of the bunch. I'm guessing it would have gone 40" or a little more. Christine wouldn't let me boat check it.



Then Christine saw this little guy at the edge of the lights toward the middle of the lake. Anybody know what it is?

Here is another picture. A little closer but blurrier.


It was a first for me. I've never seen one of these in the water.

Looks like a mole, but it looks like it has webbed feet. Is that right?

Give that boy a blue ribbon...mole it is.

He was one awesome swimmer. He could really scoot. Even so, I bet he was hungry when/if he got where he was going.

That was about a 40+ inch Muskie.

That is what every bass-fisherman calls a "Trash Fish"!
