Aren't you gonna announce the new leader in the Grass carp category??????

I gave you guys a head start.... ;)

The grass carp catagory is still held by Kyle's 46 pounder he shot ou of the mighty Miss. Bill did not sign up in the grass carp catagory.

which is it? 24.5 or 28.25

Thanks joe for noticing i switched the numbers it is 24.8. That is what I got down on my official records.

Took a trip out to a private lake this morning, only got one shot but managed to make it count. 20.4 pound sow common carp. 32 inches long 28 inches girth. What was really cool I fell out of the boat putting water in the barrel with her in it. Fortuantly I had the lid on it. only went up to my knees so managed to keep phone, camera and wallet dry.

Johnny's carp.

I'll let Johnny B. give you all the details but could be tough to beat. 20.4 lb common carp

BTW, thank the Lord for long tee shirts.

AMEN!!!! nice fish!!

Well guys & guys so far no one has posted any big head's. Time to get thumping.

Wow! That is pretty amazing.:confused0024:

Just talked to Billy K and he shot a 28 # down at carlyle but did not post it. Who know maybe a 7 pounder will win it...lol

Johnny, do you know how much water they were letting out while Billy was down there. I see it's at 6000+ cfs now and the lake is going back up again.

John (from Missouri) is thinking of heading over there and was wondering if it would be worth the trip.

I haven't even shot a Bighead this year! **sigh***

I think it's time for a road trip.

My cousin marty has been down several times in the past few weeks. Even with the high fast water he has shot fish every time. He says you have to look really close but the fish are there. Cliff and i are meeting marty tomorrow down there for the day. I'll let you know how we do, there will be a ib11c big head posted tomorrow for sure.

Well my cousin Marty, Cliff and I hit carlyle dam today. first of all what a great day to be on the water. Water is still very high, but water color is as good as it gets and the fish are there. For the one's who have been there the water is level with the parking lot. just can see the ramp if you know where it is. If you did not know you would never see it. Well we shot 30 big heads and 5 gar. could have shot more gar just did not bother. we actually shot most of the fish down river, past the bridges. Cliff shot the largest fish a 21 pound big head, the best i could do was one that was 17.7 pounda which I am submitting for the IB11C. I know it is not large enough to last but got to start some where. May be some one could post the pictures for me.

Well Mr. Ken Sharp entered a .8 pound SHAD Today that he shot last night over at evergreen lake. Nice shooting Ken even a shad that big is hard to hit.

:happy0157:

Robow7, Yes that is the format this year. Shad wins a prize or something, to be determined by christine. Although that will leave $30.00 in the pot left over, from the guys who signed up for all species.

Sorry, did it again. left out dog fish won by Joe Pike with a pay out of $25.00. nice going joe winning 2 catagories.

I call BS.... One year we were gonna give away a new bow for this little piece of crap overgrown minnow and nobody turned one in.. to this year me taking the big minnow and gettin the shaft???

WTH?

Shad does get a payout. Drum was the no-payout fish.

http://www.illinoisbowfishers.com/ib11c.html

:)

So what fish won the bow ?

None of them did... Basically with every entry into the IB11C you also got a chance for the bow... If you paid for all 7 categories, you got 7 chances... Drawing will be done for the bow...

"SHAD TO KEN SHARP NO PAYOUT"

Yea, throw the guy a bone will ya :)

wasnt me...think it was the guy that got the grassy...i believe my dogfish i got might have been bigger but i didnt sign up for dogfish catagory

Kendall, did not relize that drum was in the IB11C. If it is there was only one turned in and that was Ken Sharp. But I think he shot it in Ky?

I never turned in that drum BECAUSE it was shot it KY.... :hit:

Drawing for the bow will be later today!

I assigned every one who put in for the IB11C a number (one number for each paid category they entered) So for example, if you paid for common carp and buffalo you get two randomly assigned numbers.

I have a copy of that list and Joanne has a copy of that list. A third person (Rob Grider) will randomly choose a number. The person who's number matches that, gets the bow. Rob does not have the list with the numbers so he can't play favorites.

As soon as I know what the number is..... I'll let ya'll know. :D

WOW I cant believe I won I would like to thank everyone who made it possible (ME) hey Christine where do I send all the sugar free chocolates /:cool15:

Yeah... nice try. ;)

I guess Rob is away from his email this evening... Maybe he went to bed already?? :D

Master Grider has picked the number and it's.... 42.

....and who has this number??


Tracy Mattingly!!!

Way to call it Tracy! Go buy a lotto ticket while you're at it! :D

holly crap I never win anything. I am going to buy a lottery ticket today . what kinda bow is it anyway ?

It's a Browning Barracuda.

when can I pick it up?:confused0024:
