Wow, if you missed the Billy Davis you really missed a crankin shoot. over 2300 fish shot. The numbers were unbelieveable. Should be some IB9C fish registered. This is it for not, time to hit the rack been up 32 hours, rack time for sure..

Oh yeah! I have never in my life seen carp, gar and buffs spawning at the same time. It was awesome. We started late, ended early and still shot over a hundred fish. Wow.

We're still on the road home. After we got everything cleaned up (sort of) and changed into dry clothes (Oh that felt soooo good),We decided thta breakfast and a nap were in order.

So, no pics yet.

Oops did it again, was logged in as C. -Kendall

Ken, what a dis-appointment. All that smack talk and you do not even show up to back it up. What's up with that. Was a fun time, only problem we did come in junior to team smack talk.

our night was a little less pleasureful. We ran across the whole lake to only shoot 36 fish. cause i lost 3 arrows and had 2 giant buffs pull off. then my dad's back started to hurt so we headed back to the ramp and headed home. the rain didn't help either. i wanted to stay for the weigh -in but my dad wanted to leave. i am very agitated though because i believe the bounty fish for the night was GRINNEL. and it just so happens that the second fish i shot was a grinnel. so i am very mad i didn't get to weigh in but oh well next time i will hopefully do better. we brought our fish home for some pictures i will post them later.

Sorry to hear that your Dad's back is still bugging him and that you had to go early.

So you don't feel bad, Even I shot a grinnel. And if I can shoot a grinnel...well lets just say it was only third one I've ever shot at and the first I recovered.


BTW that was pre-rain of course.

Great fish there Kendall. Alot of people should be happy you got that one outta the water.

It was a great tourney even if we all got soaked. We got into fish pretty much right off the bat and probably got 90 of our 105 fish in a one and a half acre patch of water. We just kept going around and around and never really ran out of fish. There was a fan boat not too far off that covered just a couple ofacres of water for most of the night too.

I seriously have no time to try and upload photos right now. Plus I didn't take many, just too busy, that's why I hired Alicia to take pictures. She should have pictures up soon. (thanks Alicia)

There is a post with some pictures over on bowfishing country...

What a great time! Jarad and I had a lot of laughs and shot a few nice fish. Getting back to the marina was anadventure through all that rain. Scared the hell out of a rafter of roosting turkeys at about 0100.

it was a awesome shoot. i have never seen fish up that good in all of my life. we shot 80% of our fish in about a 20 acer patch. and almost all of our fish could have easily been shot with a fan. the airboat wasnt running right after midnight so we had to quit shooting at 3:30 to load up fish and IDLE all the way from the north end of the lake. we found another team broke down about the resort and pulled them in with us. to those who missed it you problay missed the shoot of your life. i know i said that this would be a awesome shoot after scouting friday but it actualy wasnt half as good as it was friday night. that was unbelivable!!!

I want to sincerely thank all the guys and gals who came to this tournament. You all were wonderful company and I appreciate how so many of you were eager to help out.

I got tired just watching all the guys slogging the fish barrels around. (well, I was already tired... but that made me even more so. )

Big boats, small boats and the walking shooters... it was great to see you all and I hope you had a good time.

I want to thank the DRBA for putting us on their schedule!
A big thank you to all of the door prize sponsors - Muzzy, AMS, Natural Predator (Tru-Carbon), Cajun, Firenock and Bowhunting.com.
Thanks to Kendall for making all the carp trophies and to Dave for the smallest gar trophies.

A huge thanks to Billy's family for keeping us well fed and most of all for sharing and celebrating the memory of Billy with us. We miss him dearly.

I hope to see all the participants again next year (or sooner!).


...as an added note.. Ken, Mark, Steve.... we (Team Java) would have so totally smoked you guys had you shown up... heh heh heh
