Went out this morning for a quick fix. Carp were spawning and splashing till the sun and wind got on the water. Then all was quiet. First shot drew a carp scale and the second the fish pulled off. then I got these guys.

Congrats! Nice freakin catch there. May I ask, what did you do to dispatch the Gar? The one I shot lived for a while after I shot it. Did you have to bludgeon it?

Cool thanks for the tip. I picked up a Tball bat at Wal-Mart for $10. A little longer than the commercially sold "fish bats" and just effective.
